So that's how it is... Did she come all the way here to show her sincerity just to win over a remote noble like me?

Although Sean had never seen what kind of places other nobles managed, he often heard Luke and his friends brag about the prosperity of Koga City, so he thought it must be true. In that case, such a prosperous place would not be a big deal even if a Telemian was gone.

Besides, didn’t I just say that Telemian hasn’t had any contact with the outside world for many years, and the last time was many years ago, so his small town is not an important place.

But even though it was so unimportant, the anticipation she showed was real. Alia's state wouldn't lie.

So this matter itself has nothing to do with Koga City but is related to her... She urgently needs her support!

"Ms. Hamilton, do you mean that as long as we, Thelmians, support you, we can get more help?" Before Sean could speak, Luke on the side confirmed it again.

"Yes, I will strongly support the development of Thelemian. If I can inherit the family title, I will also launch more cooperative projects with the town of Thelemian." Alia also stated her purpose directly without any hesitation.

A great nobleman must have more children, but among so many children, only one can truly inherit the position.

Therefore, how to choose an heir has become a difficult problem among the nobles... Thinking of this, Sean suddenly understood what the other party's expectation was. The local nobles are equivalent to the local princes he knows, and they need to choose a good heir.

It is estimated that her brothers and sisters should be doing the same thing now. Using the strength of Koga City to continuously attract the surrounding small nobles, this will not only expand the power and influence of Koga City, but the winner will also be able to obtain resources and connections in various places in the years to come.

This is a good opportunity for a poor little place like theirs. Even if Alia does not eventually become the earl, it is nothing more than the new earl ignoring this place. Anyway, they have already received the dividends they can get, and maybe they can develop with this trend.

It's an opportunity not to be missed!

Why didn’t the previous generations of Baron Weiger think of this? Or were they used to a stable life?

Although Thelmian is self-sufficient, it will be very difficult if it encounters natural disasters or man-made disasters, and it will take a long time to recover... Moreover, after the appearance of wizards like Lucille and Bachler, Sean feels that the town should be made more open and not always be labeled as a remote town isolated from the world.

It is precisely because of the lack of understanding that it becomes a place for others to explore.

Ah, in the following days, Sean thought many times about Bachler's situation at that time, and what he would do if the archaeological team was not there!

Since the avalanche was planned, would he do something else... very likely.

And in the end, they might even target themselves...

If that were the case, the one making the deal might not be Lucille, but Bachler, and the result would be very different.

"I am willing to support Miss Alia, swearing on the honor of the Weigel family!"

After thinking for a while, Sean finally decided to stand up.

This is a win-win situation... and if the other party wins, you can get more, even if you lose...

No……

Sean interrupted his thoughts.

Looking at the overjoyed expression on the girl's face, it seemed like she didn't do much to win over the nobles.

He actually looked so happy after receiving a positive answer. It was inevitable that someone like him would choose him. If Thelmian were to examine it carefully, there wasn't even room for negotiation, especially during this catastrophic period.

From their point of view, the success rate of winning over is very high!

Since the other party chose me, I should at least be able to help a little...

"Great, then we'll be partners from today on." The favorability level above his head suddenly turned into [Friendly]!

"Of course, I will do my best to help Miss Alia."

Sean made an alliance with another person again. If the last time was for himself, this time it was for the entire town.

In order for the townspeople to live a better life, it is necessary to get over the grief as quickly as possible and maintain an alliance with Koga City. Otherwise, it is unknown how long it will take to restore Xi Village to its original state by relying solely on the development of the town.

…………………………

After confirming the alliance, the relationship between the two sides became much more harmonious.

This stay lasted three or four days...

In addition to the necessary relief supplies, clothes and food, Alia also brought a large amount of money, a full 100,000!

Sean had never seen so much money before. It was impossible to use up all the money to rebuild a village, and there was still a lot of it that could be used as a reserve fund. It was just that there was money but no market.

I have never seen so much money, which means that the town does not have so much goods in stock. However, if you buy all the merchants' goods, the money will become useless in the short term.

There is money, but no goods!

He could only wait for the next traveling merchant to deliver it, so opening up a trade route and establishing a trade market became the first problem Sean had to face.

With the help of Alia, more and more traveling merchants entered the town of Telemian... Earl Hamil's face should not be underestimated, as he was able to mobilize so many merchants.

In addition to business, there are also many craftsmen among the people Alia brought with her, who are used to guide the people in the town to learn crafts.

There was no way around the high level of craftsmanship. After all, the carpenters and stonemasons in the town were all inherited from their families. They only needed to teach some of the more advanced methods to the townspeople, including the selection of a new location for Xicun. Alia, who was originally enthusiastic, wanted to call some more teachers over, but was temporarily rejected by Sean.

"I can call some of the best teachers from Koga City College to come and help the townspeople for a while. This might help the development of Telemian."

Alia has been very enthusiastic these days, especially in helping the town.

Sean guessed that the other party wanted to show her sincerity and win him over more firmly.

but……

Not everything is the best.

Over the past few days, he gradually noticed that the townspeople's mood had gradually changed from "surprise!" to "disgust!".

It's likely that some of the people they brought with them have already mocked the townspeople. Thelmaian has been closed off for so many years, and a few days of competition could completely change life here. It'll take more time to adapt and change...

"My townspeople have barely received any education. Giving them too much at once would be counterproductive. We need to take our time... There's no rush. There's plenty of time later. But since Miss Alia mentioned education, I have a question for you."

"Please tell me what I know, Baron Weigel."
