Otaku Witch

Chapter 235 210. Homework after class

The High Priest and the Knight Commander were also aware of the witches' Servant Army system, so, in their minds, once the Moon Rabbit Race recognized a master, this witch named Dorothy, who was their master, would simply treat them as her Servant Army.

And the Servant Army's job was nothing more than to go to the battlefield and expand territory for the witches.

For those peaceful races, going to the battlefield and fighting to the death might be considered torture, and they might be very reluctant, but the Moon Rabbits were a warlike race by nature, so going to the battlefield was like coming home to them.

Oh, considering the state of their home now in these end times, the battlefield might feel even more welcoming and better than home.

In the original plans of the Moon Rabbits, they were supposed to rush to the battlefield to pioneer a new Moon World. Now, the only difference was that the leader on the battlefield had changed from their former queen to this Lord Moon God, which was not a big problem.

Although fighting for oneself and fighting for others certainly felt different, since this Lord Moon God was the destined one prophesied by the Former King for the queen, she couldn't be considered an outsider, but one of their own.

Plus, from their recent interaction, they could feel that this witch master was not a brutal person; on the contrary, she was quite understanding and reasonable. Moreover, considering the miraculous strength she had shown earlier, she was undoubtedly a powerful witch.

Honestly, mixing with this witch master seemed a lot more promising than following their unreliable little queen.

But why be a Construction Worker? Do they mean construction work involving mixing concrete?

The High Priest and the Knight Commander couldn't believe their ears at the future Dorothy had just laid out for them.

"Yes, construction work. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself – I am a Research Witch aiming to develop real estate. If you really want to mix with me, then naturally you'll join my construction crew. What else are we supposed to do?"

In response to the stunned expressions of the two Moon Rabbit leaders, Dorothy patiently explained.

The High Priest and the Knight Commander: "..."

When they thought about possibly wearing safety helmets and supervising construction sites in the future, they suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed and turned to look at their little queen.

Sidwell was enjoying their troubled and conflicted faces.

Hehe, now you finally understand how I felt before.

At that moment, she nodded in acknowledgment amidst the despairing looks from her elders.

"That's right, I've already bought back the construction machinery."

The High Priest and the Knight Commander: "..."

Ah well, so be it.

Although the sudden shift from a Servant Army to a construction crew was somewhat unexpected for the two Moon Rabbit leaders, after a brief shock, they managed to cope better with the situation.

After all, it was just a task from the master, nothing disgraceful about it, and sweating on a construction site was far better than bleeding on a battlefield, it just wasn't as dignified.

The Moon Rabbits were a strictly hierarchical race; the High Priest and the Knight Commander, belonging to the elite nobility, had scarcely dealt with construction work like mixing concrete, as such dirty and tiring jobs were generally the responsibility of the lower Moon People, and the noble priests and knights wouldn't engage in them.

So, if someone had dared ask the priests and knights to do such demeaning work previously, they would definitely have refused, but now.....

Alas, in these apocalyptic times, all beings are equal. The pride and glory of the past are worthless in the face of survival, and their elite class had long had their edges worn down by suffering.

Just like Dorothy and others had seen before, outside the city in the wilds, at those construction sites, not only the Moon People but also the Knights of the Moon and the Priests of the Moon were working. After all, the harsh environment of the wilderness was too much for the Moon People alone, and some tasks required the intervention of these powerful knights and priests.

So, there was nothing left to fear. Since it was the new master's request, they just had to comply.

Meanwhile, Dorothy sighed while watching the conflicted expressions on these two Moon Rabbit elder sisters.

Even without employing the Mind Reading Technique, she could guess their thoughts.

Alas, why does everyone look down on Construction Workers? Why should I be seen as inferior for mixing concrete? Don't they know labor is the most glorious? It's your archaic thoughts that need correction. Continue your adventure at My Virtual Library Empire

The Homebody Witch could quite understand the Moon Rabbits' dilemma; as a warlike race, the societal values of the Moon Rabbits were quite similar to those of the witches, where being armed and going to the battlefield was seen as the most honorable thing, and only by achieving military feats could one reach the pinnacle of life.

As for other professions, they were merely logistical support for the battlefield, places for the not-so-excellent, the weak, and the eliminated to end up.

In summary, there was serious job discrimination.

So when Dorothy asked the Moon Rabbits to join the construction crew and mix concrete, it was as if she was telling parents of students in the previous generation to stop sending their children to school and instead come to screw bolts with her in the factory. It was a typical case of not following a proper career and dragging others down with her.

Although constrained by their own status, the High Priest and the Knight Commander would probably agree to it eventually, yet a coerced watermelon, though hydrating, is never too sweet. Dorothy felt it necessary to give them a lesson to try and change their mindset.
