Chapter 361: Research Team (Part 2)

Althea would hire a few dozen people per team, with the leads receiving 1 gold per month salary. The leads would also have their own offices and laboratories. 

Eugene, the elder of Research and Development, would have the largest one for sure. 

All elders now received 5 gold a month like Garan did. This was actually a lot considering the cost of living in Altera and the benefits of 'employees', but she didn't want her elders receiving lower amounts than those hired through the Chancery of Appointments—regardless of whether they could take home a smaller gross amount. 

Back to the team leads, the first to be invited was, unsurprisingly, Winona. She was set to spearhead the materials study team. 

As someone who knew materials the best, Winona would definitely help her out the most with maximizing the local materials.
