Salvador promptly dispatched Ian to personally oversee the riverworks. Upon arrival, Ian found himself greeted by Cameron, who skillfully guided him through an inspection of the project’s progress.

The riverworks had been ongoing for a while, and the reservoir was nearly complete. The quality of the reservoir was excellent, with the dam built solidly.

After inspecting the reservoir, they also checked the river channels. The dredging of the channels was complete, and the previously damaged dams had been repaired, raised, and reinforced.

Ian also sent people to chat with the riverworks project workers. The rough men, tanned from the sun, seemed a bit shy in front of the officials. Basically, they answered every question posed to them. When asked if they had any complaints, they hesitated for a moment before asking if the food could be improved, requesting more fatty meat. Ian found them to be straightforward men with no signs of hidden resentment or malice.

Next, he inspected the temporary accommodations provided for the workers. The makeshift shelters, primarily constructed of wood and thatch, were modest at best. Each hut contained a communal sleeping area with large shared platforms, housing seven or eight men. The arrangements were untidy but functional.

There were no weapons in sight. Tools and equipment were stored in a large central warehouse, accessible only during work hours and meticulously returned at the end of each day.

After inspecting the area, Ian found nothing suspicious. The workers seemed no different from the usual riverworks workers.

As for Cameron, he presented himself as a man of simple means. Clad in plain garments, he dined alongside the workers and spoke passionately about the riverworks project. However, when it came to court matters, he appeared shy and clueless, acting as if he didn’t understand much.
