"Is there only one butler?" After hearing Artoris's description, Lingyu thought for a moment and then suggested: "Then let's hire some servants again."
"Yes, I think so too." Artolis nodded. Since Artolis had little understanding of planting, the old housekeeper here directly took over the entire task on himself.
Although Artoris also participated in the task of transporting the soil, the workload was still too much for them alone. If Wembigo hadn't been exhausted, or if the focus had been on planting tea trees, no one would have taken care of the castle.
When Atoris was about to hire servants, Lingyu stopped her here.
"By the way, are you planning to grow black tea?"
"Yes, ordinary black tea, what's wrong with it?" Looking at the Lingyu, Artolis blinked.
"Then... let's check the quality after it is cultivated. We can cooperate by then. I would like to use your tea leaves to make sobering tea." Lingyu suggested here.
The hangover tea seems pretty good. Indeed, Artolis only knows about planting until now, and has not thought about the follow-up at all. As a friend of Lingyu, this can be regarded as Herpeth's first business.
Although the tavern is nominally Artoris's own.
To bury dozens of miles of soil in the wasteland, the workload was quite large. Before the servants arrived, Artolis invited her friends to help.
It happened that Lilith had just finished her work at this time, and she came to Helpes after receiving the news.
"Here... you really have a clear view..." Looking at the windy and sandy wasteland in front of him, the corner of Gawain's mouth twitched.
"Sorry for the trouble, I urgently need your help. I will compensate you later." Seeing the group of people frowning, Artolis also felt a little guilty.
"Forget it about compensation. We are all friends, so don't be so official. Just treat us to dinner then." Lancelot smiled and slapped Artolis on the shoulder, almost missing Artolis. Fall apart.
Rubbing her painful shoulder, Artoris clicked her tongue. This guy was a lot stronger. This is also related to the items drawn after the competition. Artolis remembers that Lancelot drew a general skill book, which directly increased his power by 20%.
Staring at Lancelot with a resentful look, Artolis then smiled and said, "Okay, if there is no problem, let's start the work first and finish it early."
The old housekeeper's idea was to build a temporary fence in the area where the soil was buried to prevent sand from invading the soil and causing the land to assimilate. No one present knew about rock magic, so they had to carry stones with their bare hands to build it.
Fortunately, Lilith has enough contract beasts to provide a lot of help in this regard. Everyone was engaged in the work they were good at, except for one person whose situation seemed a bit awkward.
"Don't Kaguya have any experience in this area?" Artolis was surprised by the omnipotent young lady, but she was a little at a loss at this time.
"Hmm... um..." Seeing Kaguya nodding awkwardly, Artolis could understand.
After all, she is the eldest lady. This kind of work is usually done by servants. In this case, Artolis doesn't force it.
"I think I can still be of some help." After thinking about it, Kaguya took off her pendant and put it around Atoris's neck.
Seeing Artoris' surprised look, Kaguya explained: "This is the Chaos Water Spirit Bead. If the consumption is low, it can provide you with a steady stream of spiritual power."
Chaos Spirit Pearl (Water): Absorbs energy from chaos and provides the holder with 1000 spiritual power/s.
(One of the five elements of chaos spirit beads, effect: recovery, rare level: SS+)
With a rarity level of SS+, this thing could really be considered a treasure. Artolis only remembered that among the items she had seen, only the "Reins of the Ancient Sacred Skeleton" could reach this level of rarity.
But thinking of this, Artolis remembered that the Wolf King had been silent for a long time after that, so she hoped nothing would go wrong.
With the spirit beads given by Kaguya, Artoris manipulated the Sunda wind to form a barrier to block the external wind and sand. This way, everyone would not be troubled by the wind and sand, and everyone's work could be performed more efficiently.
Seeing the hard work of the companions brought by Artolis, the old housekeeper smiled happily. He strongly urged a few people to try the egg sauce toast he made after finishing the meal.
The two little guys here were very interested after hearing this, but Artolis thought of what the former Viscount said, shuddered and quickly declined.
Time passed very quickly, just two days passed in the blink of an eye, the wall was almost built, and all the servants hired at this time also arrived.
Artoris' idea is that Winbig will still be the butler, and the servants hired are mainly a head maid and multiple maids. Originally, Artolis wanted to hire a gardener to take care of the tea garden, but Wembigo refused.
The reason is simply that this land is of great significance to him, and he still wants to take care of it himself and does not want others to set foot on it. Unable to defeat the opponent, Artolis could only compromise.
During her free time, Artoris also had time to clean up her belongings. At that time, the income from the secret realm assigned to them by Barong and the others had not yet been sorted out, so now it is better to take a look at what is there.
But before that, something caught Artolis's attention. Looking at the bright yellow scales in her hand, after confirming that there was no danger, Artolis opened her analytical eyes.
Calamity Fire Koi Scales: The scales of the legendary carp contain the embers of the Great Universe Tribulation Fire. By injecting other kinds of flames, the holder can master the "pseudo-Universe Tribulation Fire" in a short period of time.
Additional special skills: Ember Sky Wall
It’s not equipment, but it comes with special skills! This was the first time Artoris had seen it. After reading the properties of the scales over and over again, Artolis thought about it and put it away first.
Artoris shook her head. We will talk about this later. For now, let’s take a look at what she gained from the Panjie Secret Realm.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it. Artolis did not expect that Ye Tianyu mined so much mineral materials in that mine, only one-third of the resources, and there were also rare materials.
Secondly, there was ambergris, which Atoris knew about. She and Baron harvested a lot of it at that time. I asked the old housekeeper to make an estimate, and it was probably worth thousands of Primordial Crystals obtained from the Panjie Secret Realm!
"As a personal wealth, it is indeed quite a lot, but to maintain the operation of the castle, it is far from enough." When Artolis was overjoyed, the old housekeeper poured cold water on her head.
I have to say that a lot of money has been spent on purchasing resources and hiring people these days, and this is just the beginning.
"My suggestion is that Lord Viscount, first place all these materials in the treasure house."
"That makes sense." Atoris nodded. This place is her own territory anyway, and this saves her from having to wear so many space rings all day long, which is really troublesome.
