"Phew! I'm finally home! Even the air feels beautiful!"
While Thomas and Mario were worried in Maiye Village, Nalant finally set foot on the land of Storm Territory.
Riding on the horse with his hands open and smelling the fragrance of green grass and flowers around him, Nalant felt indescribably comfortable.
"If there weren't too many threats, it would be great to live a noble life without shame or shame with my lucky daughters in this countryside!"
After sighing for a moment, Nalant was even more anxious to return, and immediately ordered, "Everyone, speed up!"
"Yes, my lord!"
With the sound of rolling wheels, the team continued to move deeper into the Storm Territory.
Three hours later, in the vestibule of the castle.
"Sir, thank you for your hard work! Welcome back to your castle!"
The convoy was spotted by guards on the castle from afar. After Thomas received the news, he immediately took all the servants in the castle to greet them.
As soon as the horse's hooves stopped, Thomas came forward excitedly, took the reins and offered his greetings.
After Nalant got off his horse, two maids neatly brought him towels and water.
After wiping his face vigorously to wash away a lot of fatigue, Nalant looked around.
"Thomas, it seems that you have been very diligent during this period! How is the progress of the castle repairs?"
At this moment, standing in the vestibule and looking around at the city walls and inner and outer walls, the dilapidated appearance of the past is no longer there.
The cracks and cracks in the stones that have peeled off due to disrepair have been filled in, and the moss and black marks on the castle walls and city walls left by years of erosion have also been re-polished.
Nowadays, castles have replaced them, some are flat with blue-gray walls. At first glance, Nalant, the lucky castle, looks like a human being, at least dozens of years younger.
From being a greasy and middle-aged man, he has transformed directly back into a young man.
"Sir! You have been away for a while. I dare not slack off even for a moment. Most of the repairs to the castle have been completed."
"Now only the main gate and the inner castle are left unfinished."
"However, the castle gate has been forged by John Blacksmith. I believe it will be completed in a few days. It will be installed directly by then. Then your castle will be impregnable!"
"There are several halls on the first floor, but because of your instructions, the construction has not started yet!"
"Very good, let's go in first! I'm really tired from this journey!"
Nalant nodded, and he specifically ordered not to start construction on several halls first, because if he wanted to repair the halls, he needed to prepare various decorations first.
Otherwise, even if the walls and floors are repaired, the hall will still be inaccessible.
However, during this trip to Tulip, Narant made a lot of money from shaved ice and table salt, so he had already purchased decorations for several halls.
Of course, these decorations are naturally not as luxurious as those of the Earl.
For example, candlesticks and chandeliers are all made of copper, and some gold and silver utensils and furnishings are also gold-plated and silver-plated.
However, this is normal for a small noble, so Narant can only make do with it for the time being, preparing for the arrival of the Earl in a month.
Under Thomas's earnest guidance, Nalant stepped into the inner fortress where he had been away for more than 20 days.
At this moment, the corridor of the inner castle really looks brand new. The original marble floor tiles on the ground were not only ignored, but also had a lot of cracks. Now those cracked and stone slabs have all been replaced, and those that were not damaged have also been renovated. Sand and polish.
In this way, the entire castle corridor becomes extremely bright. If the corridors were not empty on both sides, it would be like those castles in the West in previous lives, which could be used as tourist attractions for paid visits.
After arriving at the reception hall and sitting comfortably on the sofa, Nalant took a sip before looking at Thomas after the servant served the honey tea.
"Thomas, come and report on the recent situation in the territory!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Next, Thomas began to report. During this period, Stormland had produced results and the renovation plan had progress.
Because Thomas and Mario had no communication with each other during this period, Nalant gained a comprehensive understanding of the development of the territory from Thomas.
During this period, the output of sea salt, dried fish, etc. remained stable.
Five or six caravans came during this period, and what's more, two caravans stayed in the Storm Territory overnight because of the presence of grilled oysters.
However, according to the feedback from the caravan, they felt that it would be better if the territory they wanted still contained beer.
Then came the brick kiln. In the past 20 days, the brick kiln has fired two kilns. Because Nalan's special earthen kiln can only hold more than 50 cubic meters of bricks, each kiln can produce nearly 30,000 bricks. piece.
The two kilns produced nearly 60,000 bricks. Although there will still be some losses, this output is completely sufficient for the current Storm Territory, and there is even a surplus.
In addition, there is some news that makes Narant happy. The sugar cane and sweet potatoes are growing very well. I believe that the harvest mode will start in a few months.
The green elf here is powerful. Although it may not necessarily make a lot of money, it is better than stability.
Of course, Thomas also informed Nalant about the 'Warcraft Thief'.
Nalant didn't take it to heart after hearing this. Since he was back now, the flower picker would end up with nothing more than delicious food on the grill.
"Okay, Thomas, go ahead and arrange the unloading of the convoy. I'm going to take a shower first. If there's something going on with the Warcraft thief, I'll go check it out myself tonight!" Nalant stretched his waist.
"Yes, my lord!"
…
After Meimei had washed up, Nalant did not rest, but came to the kitchen alone.
Tonight is the night of meteors. As the saying goes, it is better to choose a day than to hit it. Nalant plans to get the green elf as the system reward today.
In addition, now that Catherine's upgrade is imminent, Nalant is also curious about what kind of strength the lucky girl can achieve with the intermediate awakening.
Therefore, he is now ready to start configuring swordsmanship talents and intermediate awakening potions as soon as possible.
Put all kinds of potions into the pot in order according to the system formula. After only ten minutes of cooking, the intermediate awakening potion is ready.
After putting the awakening potion into the space ring, Nalant ordered his servant to find Catherine, while he went to the study on the third floor to wait.
"Sir, you are looking for me!"
Not long after, Catherine knocked on the door.
"Come here and do it!" Nalant was sitting on the sofa next to the study window and waved to Catherine.
"Yes, my lord!"
"Catherine, I told you that day that I would try to help you improve your strength!" Narant said without hesitation.
As soon as she sat down, Catherine was stunned when she heard the words, and then her eyes filled with excitement, "Sir, you asked me to come now..."
"That's right, I'm calling you up now just to help you improve your strength!" Nalant nodded with a smile.
"Thank you, sir!" Catherine immediately stood up from the sofa excitedly and half-knelt down towards Nalant.
She was still a little skeptical at first. After all, no matter how hard she practiced, her swordsmanship had stagnated. Catherine felt that such a dilemma could basically be solved by external forces.
"Get up! You and Vivian are my lucky daughters. The stronger you are, the more you can help me, so don't thank me!" Nalant supported Catherine. His shoulders pushed her back to the sofa.
"Come on, Catherine, drink this cup of tea!" With that said, Nalant took out the intermediate awakening potion.
"Sir, do you want to give Vivian and Shirley some tea right now?"
Catherine had already heard Shirley and Vivian's story about how their elders gave them this magical tea and they had unique talents.
Now, she has no doubt whether she can improve her strength in the future.
"Yes, Catherine! After drinking it, all the troubles that bother you will be solved!"
"Thank you, sir!" Catherine took the cup of tea with a slight trembling, then raised her head and drank it without hesitation.
