Although before leaving, Ouyang Qianjin had a fleeting thought of going to City C first to take a trip, pick up some bargains, do some free shopping, and get more ready-made daily necessities or other supplies.
But then he thought, he was, after all, a lord with millions of troops under his command.
Moreover, it wasn't the kind of army that "raised 100,000 troops but falsely claimed to have 500,000," but a real army without any exaggeration.
Therefore, these tasks can be left to subordinates.
There's no need for a lord like yourself to do these things.
That's so cheap.
Although Ouyang Qianjin herself felt it was no big deal.
But if others find out about this, especially the other three lords of the territory, they might laugh at him for years to come.
It's important to know that none of the four lords certified by the panel are exactly the kind of people you'd want to mess with.
Needless to say, Ouyang Qianjin...
As for the other three professions—[Ghoul Lord], [Ghost Princess], and [High Priest of the Underworld]—they all seem to be professions that allow one to live a very long time.
Let's not even talk about thousands of years ago.
Based on Ouyang Qianjin's own experience, she should be able to survive for several hundred years.
If this were to be ridiculed for centuries, even Ouyang Qianjin herself wouldn't know what she would do.
For example, killing someone to cover it up.
"Miss, these are small cakes that Butler Sebastian just baked."
On the large terrace of the temporary palace.
Princess Ouyang sat listlessly on the skeletal throne, watching the bustling scene around her.
Beside her stood a woman dressed in a long black and white maid outfit, with an armband embroidered with the 'Black Crown Skull' symbol, who was placing tea and snacks on a small round table.
The maid outfit was made by Sebastian.
The armband is now standard issue for important personnel under Ouyang Qianjin.
The woman was none other than Tomoyo Kobayakawa, who had previously applied for a maid position.
At this moment, they were located in the temporary palace built by Zhang Mo.
Although the palace was temporary.
However, Zhang Mo did not cut corners in the construction.
All the stones used were from this mountain.
Moreover, the surface of the stone cut by the skill is smooth, and even if it is a pile of stones, it is not ugly.
On the contrary, it has a kind of 'matchbox' aesthetic.
In other words, it means it has no aesthetic appeal whatsoever.
However, it is quite functional as a house.
Whether it's the bathtub that Ouyang Qianjin likes, the office area, bedroom, kitchen, or even the large terrace where she is now, everything is very neatly decorated.
The villa consists of three floors (upper, middle, and lower) plus a basement, for a total of four floors.
Apart from the basement used to house the power generation equipment, the entire villa has now been allocated to clerical staff working in fields such as law and finance.
Outside the villa, Zhang Mo is currently building a new house.
However, this time, thanks to the help of some architectural experts, the house was not built like a matchbox.
In fact, Ouyang Qianjin had arrived here with her entourage several days earlier.
The journey was uneventful and without any major incidents, which made Ouyang Qianjin feel somewhat bored.
In the past few days, those with relevant experience from the three groups that were originally going to dig the canal have also arrived here one after another.
Because the number of people exceeded Ouyang Qianjin's expectations, she urgently asked Zhang Mo to continue building houses nearby.
Originally, Lady Ouyang was also supposed to live in the imperial palace.
After all, this place was built for her.
However, due to the large number of people, in order not to affect their work, Ouyang Qianjin temporarily changed the location.
That is, the building that is currently under urgent construction next to the imperial palace.
However, because it was not yet completed, Ouyang Qianjin returned to her life in the pumpkin carriage.
They slept in pumpkin carriages at night and sunbathed on the rooftop of the palace during the day.
Although the mountain range where the palace is located is the same mountain range where the dragon's lair is located, it is not cold because of its low altitude.
Of course, this is in comparison to the icy, snowy ice dragon's lair that Ouyang Qianjin had previously seen through the [Dark Eye].
So even if you sleep in the pumpkin carriage for a few days, it's not a big problem.
Moreover, this place is located on the edge of a mountain range, quite far from the dragon's lair. It's at least two or three hundred kilometers away.
So there's no need to worry about being attacked by a dragon.
Or rather, the dragons don't need to worry about being attacked by Ouyang Qianjin.
After all, Miss Ouyang has no intention of leveling up right now.
With only a few days left until the one-year deadline, Miss Ouyang certainly didn't want anything to go wrong at this crucial time.
Of course, she hoped that nothing would go wrong by the end of the year.
"Tomoyo, I told you you didn't need to dress up as a maid. Aren't you busy downstairs right now?"
Looking at Kobayakawa Tomoyo who was respectfully pouring tea for her, Ouyang Qianjin said helplessly.
These days, whenever Tomoyo Kobayakawa has time, she wears the maid outfit Sebastian gave her to serve her.
Even so, this way you can see that the other person makes you feel at ease.
But the thrill of 'secret surveillance' that Ouyang Qianjin had hoped for would be gone.
What's the point of living like this if there's no excitement?
However, having someone come and talk to me when there's nothing to do is a way to pass the time.
"I'm not very busy right now, and besides, it's my honor to serve Miss."
After pouring the tea, Tomoyo Kobayakawa stood to the side with her tray and said calmly.
"Haha, I'm so happy to have such a beautiful woman like Tomoyo serving me~~"
"But wouldn't that mean I'd have to pay you double the wages?"
"One for a legal advisor, one for a maid."
After smiling, Ouyang Qianjin said in a playful tone as if joking.
"You flatter us, young lady. Being by your side is the greatest happiness for us immortals. Salary and such..."
"No way, both Thailand and England have said they want to revitalize the current economy, and I can't be the one to break the rules."
Upon hearing Kobayakawa Tomoyo's words, Ouyang Qianjin smiled and shook her head.
In reality, for someone like Ouyang Qianjin who stands at the top, rules are meant to be broken.
Even the rule itself required her approval to be finalized.
So rules and regulations are mainly used to restrain subordinates.
"By the way, speaking of which, after all these days, have the financial experts provided any answers?"
"I don't know. I work in the Department of Law and I haven't heard of anything related to the Department of Finance."
The palace now has three floors above ground. The first floor houses offices for architecture and mechanical design, while the second floor is used by experts in the legal department.
Financial experts, however, use the third floor.
Therefore, Tomoyo Kobayakawa was unaware of financial matters.
"Is that so...then we'll have to ask Lee Tae-young."
Ouyang Qianjin picked up a cake and took a small bite.
I thought they were all together, but I didn't expect they actually had separate rooms.
