"Lord, you've arrived," the chief engineer, the winged gnoll Chester, greeted Gaven in the rain.
"The security work is well done," Gaven praised. "The progress is faster than I expected. Have the recent heavy rains delayed your construction?"
"A bit, but the impact is not significant. When construction on the ground became inconvenient, I directed all construction teams to move underground," Chester said with some concern. "However, I heard from the locals that this kind of heavy rain will last for over a month. If that's true, it will seriously delay the schedule and we won't be able to build enough resettlement houses within the time Lord requires. Besides, our demand for Bitterleaf Oil has greatly increased; many gnolls are not quite adapted to the relatively warm and humid environment here."
"Ultimately, that is a problem, and I am here to completely resolve it for you."
