Chapter 29 - Slave Traders Are Here Again! Minotaur?
On this day, a new batch of cement arrived.
The workers, having eagerly watched the execution of the bandits and the distribution of rewards, began using the mud carts bought by Richard to transport the cement to the construction site.
By this time, some sheds had been erected on the construction site, containing a large amount of cement.
Every night, five people were stationed here to prevent anyone from stealing the cement or the mud carts.
The craftsmen gathered by Richard found the cement very fascinating.
There weren’t many craftsmen in this world, and their income was higher than that of ordinary people.
So Richard promised high wages to several craftsmen in the neighboring town and even offered to settle their families, trying to lure them over.
Those craftsmen were somewhat tempted.
The construction site was bustling with activity.
With many hands at work, the city wall was being built quite quickly. In just a few days, several tens of meters had already been completed.
This round of city wall construction wasn’t particularly high, only six meters, and it wasn’t especially thick either, with a base of about three meters and a top of one and a half meters, which could accommodate people standing on it.
The city wall was constructed using a mixture of stones and cement, making it quite sturdy.
Richard planned to build it first and then expand it later depending on the situation.
Whether it was thugs or bandits, there were no siege weapons. The six-meter-high city wall was temporarily sufficient.
After inspecting the site, Richard returned to the small castle.
The bloodstains on the square of the small castle had already been washed away.
However, Richard still felt a bit uncomfortable staying there.
‘I need to recruit more people to speed up the progress of repairing the wall,’ Richard thought.
After checking on Mia’s condition, Richard returned to his bedroom. He didn’t even want to wash his face and feet; he just lay down on the bed, ready to sleep.
He had expended a lot of energy today and felt quite tired, and his whole body was a bit sore.
“Master, let me give you a massage,” Miwei, the cat girl, noticed Richard’s exhaustion and offered.
“Okay,” Richard didn’t refuse.
Miwei first prepared hot water for Richard and helped him wash his face. Then she took off his shoes and washed his feet.
Next, she carefully wiped Richard’s body clean. During this process, his strong masculine scent wafted over, causing Miwei’s face to blush slightly.
After she finished cleaning Richard, she realized that he had already fallen into a deep sleep.
After pouring out the water, Miwei entered the bedroom and gently started massaging Richard.

Richard slept soundly through the night. When he woke up, he felt that his muscles weren’t as sore anymore.
However, he quickly noticed that Miwei, the cat girl, was sleeping next to his bed…
Judging by her appearance, Miwei had spent quite some time massaging him last night.
No wonder he didn’t feel so sore all over!
“This little girl,” Richard thought to himself.
After he got up, Miwei, who was sensitive to movement, also woke up.
“Ah… Master, you’re awake. Let me fetch some water for you,” Miwei quickly said.
Richard noticed that she still had dark circles under her eyes. He patted her little head and said, “You can continue sleeping. I can handle it myself today.”
“It’s what I should do, Master,” Miwei insisted.
Soon, she brought hot water.
After Richard finished washing, he forcibly made Miwei go to rest. Then he left the room and headed to the small town.

As he approached the town, Richard opened the live broadcast.
【Good morning, Anchor!】
【Good morning, Lord!】
【Lord, I believe you’ve traveled to another world. Do you want me to send you a gun? I have connections~】
【Police: Everything you say will be used against you in court~】
The atmosphere in the broadcast room was lively.
After yesterday’s live stream, many viewers carefully watched the replay and increasingly believed that Richard had truly traveled to another world.
Especially fans of novels and traversal stories.
However, there were still many viewers who remained skeptical.
In their view, there were many doubts, such as how Richard brought over cement, crossbows, bread, milk, and so on?
Although Richard mentioned his crossing over at the beginning of the broadcast, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to reveal that his phone had turned into a system.
Besides, even if people didn’t believe him, Richard couldn’t beg them to believe. In fact, whether they believed it or not didn’t matter to him.
As long as they continued to watch the live stream.
So, after Richard briefly started with the introduction and attracted some tips from his fans, he entered the town.
As soon as he entered the town, Richard received a report from a secretary.
“My Lord, slave traders have come again. Please see if there are any slaves you need to purchase,” the secretary said.
The role of the secretary was to convey and record orders and information, as well as to maintain public order and resolve disputes between neighbors.
Richard walked up and saw several wagons parked in the square of the town.
These wagons all had iron cages on them.
One of the iron cages was particularly tall, and inside was a “giant” who was over 2 meters tall, probably around 2.5 meters tall.
However, the face of this “giant”… looked like that of a bull.
“Minotaur?” Richard remembered some characters from novels and games he had seen before crossing over and couldn’t help but mutter.
