Walsh's Fury

With the lord's permission, road construction in the territory progressed rapidly.

The Viscount's Mansion quickly invited several earth mages from Booker Harbor. Once the mages arrived, the road project advanced rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In ten days, several earth mages completed the foundation paving, road hardening and drainage communication of more than ten main roads in the territory.

Absolutely perfect.

Elena was very satisfied with the project because of its fast speed and good quality.

The lords nodded in satisfaction, and as agreed, the Viscount's Mansion immediately paid the mages' wages.

"Miss Viscount, if you'd like to repair other roads in the territory, you can come directly to the Earl's Mansion to find me." One of the earth mages from the Earl's Mansion smiled and winked, saying to her, "I can give you a 95% discount."

As mentioned earlier, magic is powerful in this world and is an indispensable force, so every great lord will have several exclusive mages. Earl Barnett of Book Harbor is no exception. He also has several mages in his mansion. The mages from the earl's mansion were also invited to help with the decoration of the Wonderful Garden Restaurant.

Elena and this earth mage had met each other several times.

Elena let out a soft "ah" and was very surprised: "I'll go directly to the Earl's Mansion to find you? Earl Barnett won't mind?" Aren't you afraid that the real boss will find out about this kind of order to make extra money?

The earth mage smiled calmly and said, "No, the Earl allows us to take on some small orders and earn a little money. As long as it does not affect the tasks assigned by the Earl, it's fine."

Elena said "oh" and asked, "What kind of orders do you usually take?"

"As long as it's something we can do, we will take it. For example, if you need to build a manor or repair some roads, you can come to me. If the weather is dry and you want to irrigate the farmland in the territory, you can find a water mage. If you want to replace some flowers and trees for the garden in the mansion, you can find a wood mage. Any business is acceptable, it just depends on what you need." The earth mage gave a brief introduction.

Elena nodded as she listened.

Seeing that Elena was listening intently, the Earth Mage added, "However, your tasks can only take precedence over the Earl's. For example, if the weather is dry and we need to irrigate the fields, or if we need to carry out municipal construction, we must prioritize completing the tasks assigned by the Earl before we can serve you. This is our shortcoming in business, but precisely because of this shortcoming, we will also give you appropriate discounts on the price."

As he spoke, the earth mage winked at Elena again, suggesting that the price could still be negotiated.

Elena gracefully fanned out her fan, covering her face with it to hide her smile. She then raised her beautiful eyes and said, "Yes, I'll talk to you again when I've saved enough money. As you know, my castle is very old, and at least half of it needs to be renovated. I hope you can give me a better deal then."

The earth mage smiled and nodded: "I look forward to working with you again."

------------------------

After more than ten main roads in the territory were repaired, the impact on the town of Fussen was not small. Not only were the townspeople willing to leave the city, but more farmers also came into the city. Farmers carried vegetables into the city and set up stalls to sell them in the market. Some skilled farmers would also take on odd jobs.

For Lord Elena, the most obvious impact was a significant increase in revenue from road tolls.

Elena looked at the freshly released financial statements and felt very happy.

Although appropriate exemptions were given to the caravans that had previously contributed money and effort to build the road, resulting in a small amount of tolls collected, it was still more than before. A small amount is still meat.

Once the exemption period is over, the full amount can be collected.

Moreover, once the roads are repaired, more caravans can be attracted, and more customs duties and road tolls can be collected.

The future is so bright.

Just as Elena was happily looking through the reports and imagining the future, the old housekeeper knocked on the door and came in with a letter.

"My dear uncle, a letter from Viscount Walch."

Elena: ...I have a feeling that the words in the letter are not good.

Sure enough, when Elena opened the letter, she found it was full of furious accusations from beginning to end. It accused her of forgetting that the other half of her blood was named Walshi, accusing her of forgetting the help the Walshi family had given her, and accusing her of forgetting that when she lost her father and brother and all her loved ones and needed help the most, it was her uncle and aunt who gave her help and love.

What a heavy accusation.

cut.

Elena clicked her tongue and shook her head. When she needed help the most, her uncle and aunt were somewhere enjoying a peaceful life. By the time they showed up at her father and brother's funeral, she had already dealt with the ambitions and dissent within the Field family, and was already a foregone conclusion that she would be the next Viscount.

The greatest help her uncle and aunt gave her was to give her a bottle of recovery agent, which let her know that recovery agents in this world were so expensive and of poor quality.

Alas, no matter in which world, there are always some people who don’t know where they stand, how much they weigh, and have no sense of self-awareness. They always like to point fingers and teach others how to do things from a high position.

Elena Shi Shiran tore the letter in half, and then Shi Shiran wrote back a letter with only one sentence in it: "This is my territory, listen to me, if you don't obey, come and beat me."

Viscount Walchi became even more angry after receiving the letter.

Not only did this little girl refuse to admit her mistake, she even dared to provoke him!

"Gather the troops, I'm going to attack Field's territory and let that little girl know what it means to respect the elderly!" Viscount Walshi said viciously.

The Viscountess and Brooke also looked angry and fierce.

"Yes, she must be severely punished." The Viscountess said angrily.

"Beat her until she kneels on the ground and admits her mistake." Brooke shouted.

The knight captain, who had remained clear-headed, tried to dissuade Viscount Walsh: "Your Excellency, I heard that the Golden Knight, Leonard the Four-Field Meteor, is a friend of Viscountess Field, and he is currently in Fussen."

Golden Knight!

Upon hearing this title, Viscount Walshi's furious expression froze, and his fierce aura dissipated in an instant.

The Golden Knights are the strongest in the continent, and the gap between them and ordinary knights is as huge as a chasm. They cannot be defeated by simply sending a few more cavalry teams.

No, that is not a terrifying existence that can be defeated by secular forces.

Elena has the Golden Knights backing her up, so she can't attack head-on, but...

"Am I really going to just put up with this?" Viscount Walshi was still a little unwilling to accept this, and even more so, a bit of anger stemming from his incompetence. "You don't care about my dignity anymore? After all, I'm still Elena's uncle!"

What could he do? Was he going to let these knights die just for his own sake?

The knight captain secretly complained.

The lord is a stupid and conceited pig, and the knight captain, as his subordinate, has suffered greatly from his behavior. Now that he sees the lord starting to get confused again, he feels helpless, aggrieved and angry.

In fact, this shouldn't have happened at all. With such a good position as the uncle, if this pig had not been so stupid and had tried to curry favor with Lady Viscount Field, wouldn't he have been able to easily follow behind and make money?

But he was too greedy and too stupid. His son was just as greedy and stupid as him, even more stupid. He acted so straightforwardly that he embarrassed himself. He had no ability to deal with it, so he could only run back to complain to his father.

If it weren't for this young master messing things up...The Knight Captain glared at Brooke implicitly.

"How about you ask your wife to come forward and write a letter saying that everything is a misunderstanding, and then have a good talk with Miss Viscount Field. Perhaps, this matter can be erased." The knight captain thought for a long time and finally came up with this pretty good idea.

"Misunderstanding? A sentimental rendition? Humph!" The Viscountess raised her head proudly. "She humiliated my son. How could I possibly bow down to her?"

Knight Captain: ...Damn it, there's a reason why Brook is "even dumber".

"That's right, it won't work." Viscount Walsh nodded in agreement. He said to the knight captain, "Think of another way."

Find a solution? What other solution can you think of?

The knight captain wanted to lift his clothes and shake his head to wake him up.

Now it is you who is wrong, not the other party, and the other party is stronger than your fist and has a golden knight backing him up. What do you think you can do?

You have nothing but a pond of water in your head.

Taking a deep breath, the Knight Captain suppressed his complaints and frustrations, then advised, "Your Excellency, you can actually ignore her rudeness for now. Just wait a moment. Miss Viscount Field is so arrogant. One day she will be in big trouble. There will always be someone in the world she can't afford to offend. Then, Your Excellency, you can take the opportunity to teach her a lesson and let her know the virtue of humility."

Viscount Walshi's face grew redder and redder as the knight captain spoke, his nostrils flaring, like an old bull holding back its anger, ready to rush forward and knock down the enemy without a care in the world.

In the final analysis, he still has to endure it.

Be patient, be patient. Is there no other way except to endure?

Are you still a knight? Can't you come up with a more courageous idea?

Viscount Walshi really didn't want to endure it, but he knew deep down that even if the knight captain was really brave enough to fight hard against the golden knight, it would be like trying to kill himself by hitting a rock with an egg.

Emotions and reason fought in my mind, and in the end, reason narrowly won.

Viscount Walshi decided to endure it.

He endures humiliation and bears heavy burdens.

"Okay, I'll wait for the day when she gets into trouble!" Viscount Walshi said this with gritted teeth.

Brooke was still a little unwilling: "Humph, she got it for free."

The knight captain echoed the compliment, praising the lord's rationality and restraint, but in his heart, he was mocking him.

Alas, each generation is more stupid than the last. I don’t know what this territory will become in the future.
