A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 1223: Are You Going To Dock My Pay?

After the service ended in the morning, Mag continued to read up on the information in the study. He had to finish it within seven days as the Gray Temple would come to retrieve all of them.

This box contained all the secrets of the tribes on the Norland Continent and the latest news. The Chaos City’s intelligence agents had paid a huge price and effort in exchange for this information. It was of great value no matter whose hands it ended up in, and could cause massive trouble for Chaos City.

Mag of course didn’t disagree with them taking them back. Michael and Rolan had already shown their sincerity fully by showing him such core information. Moreover, reading and memorizing all the information in seven days wasn’t a difficult task for him.

The goblins’ territory was located in the east of the Norland Continent. They built an underground caverns empire with Vic Mountain as the center.

The goblins’ power was ranked last on the Norland Continent. They only had seven or eight 10th-tier powerhouses in the tribe. However, the goblins were very good at management and mining, so they had amassed plenty of wealth.

And the uncountable underground caverns in Vic Mountain became the impenetrable fortress of the goblins.

Nobody could beat the goblins in the underground caverns!

This saying had been going around on the continent for thousands of years.

Hence, although the goblins looked weak, they had the power to defend themselves on the Norland Continent.

The goblins, who were known for being cunning, put the other species to shame when it came to the unity of their species. The goblins had never had an internal strife in their history.

In this set of information, there was no weak link in the inner affairs of the goblins.

Their only problem was that they were really very weak. It was already not easy for them to guard their current territory, so they could never expand beyond that.

And just because of this, the goblins would choose to form an alliance with Chaos City.

The forest trolls’ territory was adjacent to the goblins. The huge forest trolls lived in the vast Tamore Forest.

Their huge bodies gave them their powerful strength and unique gifts. If they were only judged by their gifts and power, the forest trolls were only second to the giant dragons. Almost all the forest trolls were able to achieve the power of 5th-tier, and their mid- to high-tier combat power were equally very sufficient.

However, the population of the forest trolls was not big. Their peculiar way of reproduction had resulted in the limited growth of their population.

However, the king of the trolls was very interested in expanding his territory. Their alliance with the orcs was even more ambitious.

They were interested in the vast territory of the Wind Forest. Perhaps that location could allow them to break out of the constraints of their slow population growth.

The demons’ territory was in the middle of the Boundless Sea Realm. The numerous demon tribes had occupied the many islands in the sea. They had thrived there, and their population had been growing steadily for the past 100 years.

Moreover, for the past 100 years, the tribes had been invading one another, so their combat power was all extremely strong.

The islands in the Boundless Sea Realm were no longer sufficient to satisfy the tribes’ ambitions. Hence, they started to try expanding their territory on the Norland Continent.

The alliance between the demons and the Roth Empire was the strongest alliance currently. They were even on par with the giant dragons.

In the past 100 years, the Roth Empire had the fastest growth in power. The humans, who were recuperating from the wars, began to multiply at a terrifying speed and organize and develop the

two stable upgrade systems of knight and magic caster. Using the huge population base as their support within the past 100 years, they already had the most top powerhouses. Furthermore, their numbers of mid-tier magic casters and knights had far exceeded any other species’.

It was very difficult to imagine that the humans, who were deemed two-legged sheep by the demons and orcs in the past, could establish such a powerful strength that was only second to the giant dragons in just 100 years.

Mag was attracted by a notice when he browsed the information on the orcs: there was a rebellion in the Falk Tribe. The chief was killed by his cousin, Gary, who was in cahoots with the Aug Tribe. Gary imprisoned the chief’s son, and installed himself as the new chief of the Falk Tribe. In this rebellion, all the relatives of the chief apart from the chief’s son were killed. Only the chief’s daughter’s whereabouts remained unknown. She most probably had escaped.

The Falk Tribe was the second biggest orc tribe. Their belief[1] was the cheetah. They were powerful and had many powerhouses within the tribe.

And the Aug Tribe was the biggest orc tribe. They believed in the giant bear. They weren’t expected to be involved in the rebellion of the Falk Tribe.

Of course, all these things were not important. The most important part was the description that Mag had read about the daughter of the Falk Tribe’s chief: 14 years old, cat-eared, brown curly hair, freckles across the nose…

Hoho. Isn’t this freaking Connie!?

Mag’s expression was a little complicated. Connie had mentioned her brother, but he didn’t expect that he would be her only relative who was still alive.

A rebellion had caused her to fall from grace as the princess of a tribe, turning into a homeless cat. She had escaped to Chaos City all the way from the Twilight Forest. She had to have suffered along the way to evade her pursuers.

Unknowingly, the morning had gone by.

Mag put down the information on the orcs, and tidied up the box before putting it back into the secret compartment. The relationships among the various tribes within the orc species were complex. Just the relationships between the Falk and Aug tribes were intertwining and complicated.

The Aug Tribe, which wanted to go to war, had successfully gained control over the Falk Tribe, which preferred to continue with the peace treaty, through this rebellion. Obviously, it was a move to unify the species before the peace treaty renegotiation.

Mag went downstairs and saw Connie lying on the counter, dazing and staring at Ugly Duckling. The two kitties were moving their ears as if they were having some special interaction.

Connie turned her head to look at Mag when she heard the footsteps and smiled. “Boss, when can I start working?”

She couldn’t venture around the streets nor show her face in the ice cream shop. Hence, she could only stay dazed in the restaurant when she didn’t need to work.

“We didn’t receive any new orders today. You will have to start work when you have the new ‘Are you full’ orders.” Mag shook his head, and then curiously asked, “Don’t you have to learn from your master in the day?”

“No. My master said I only have to learn from him at night, not in the day.” Connie shook her head and yawned.

Mag was a little astonished, but he soon understood why after some pondering. Cats were nocturnal animals, so Rex was teaching her according to her innate abilities. So, he nodded with a smile. “Then you will sleep more in the day.”

“Are you going to dock my pay?” Connie asked nervously.

“Am I someone like that?” Mag pursed his lips. He wasn’t some evil capitalist.

“Then I will sleep now.” Connie put her head down on the counter, and began to sleep instantly.

Ugly Duckling walked over and stretched its chubby paw out to Connie’s head, but it quickly retrieved its paw when it was almost touching her. It thought for a while before lying down, put its head on her arms, and closed its eyes comfortably.

Mag smiled with resignation as he looked at the two sleeping kitties. He went into the kitchen, and began to prepare the ingredients needed for the afternoon service. Soon after, Camilla came too.

[1] Most likely it’s about their totem, but the author separated the two terms, so we’ll keep it that way.
