"W-What did you say?" Lei Zhen stuttered and asked.
"Sigh, I said that these are built by people that have received your gratitude." Griselda facepalmed, feeling like she was talking to a brick.
"Received my gratitude?" He raised an eyebrow.
"You really need some smacking. Did you think your achievement in the civil war and capturing the criminal black mage are trivial matters?" She sneered coldly.
"Indeed, almost every citizen has posters of you and your signature mask on their house. You are like the hero to them, so why would anyone charge you when they heard you wanted to build a headquarter." Tie Longkun intervened, giving him a thumbs up.
He was a wandering swordsman in the game most of the time, and even he was impressed by Lei Zhen's achievement.
