Chapter 33: Win the race!
After the short meeting with Kendrick, Ragnar strolled to the storage house himself to observe it.
Reaching there, he went straight for the usual spot and saw the same resin holding the roof of the storage house, successfully hiding any traces of the heist last night.
’Those Monsterborn are clever,’ Ragnar murmured, ’but I still don’t understand why they are hiding their identity. What is their actual motive? Is this some kind of buildup to some serious event?’
After observing the storage house, Ragnar strolled down to the farmlands where the farmers could be seen working on their designated lands.
"Everyone, gather up," Ragnar called them together at the entrance of the farmlands.
A few seconds after his call, the nine farmers operating the farmlands stood before him.
They greeted him with smiles on their faces and asked about his health; some of them asked why he had called for them.
"The reason I called for you this morning is to appreciate you for your hard work," Ragnar began with a smile on his face.
"Your hard work has made life better for the women and children. No one is starving because you took it upon yourselves to till the earth every day without complaint.
As a result, the ancestors have sent me here today as an ambassador of their appreciation."
Ragnar continued addressing them for about two minutes. The farmers’ expressions softened, being appreciated for their dedication warmed their hearts.
"Last night, the ancestors whispered in my heart to tell you that you will experience the most fruitful harvest this season..." Ragnar concluded.
