Sean read the message in the letter over and over again and was surprised that Earl Hamilton from the outside world would show such enthusiasm towards him, a remote lord.
Since Dante had only learned a few words, he wrote letters in the simplest possible language, so he wouldn't write too much. The entire letter consisted of just these few words:
I'm fine! And Lord Hamilton is very welcoming and so on.
Then he told the other party that they attached great importance to the disaster in Thermian and wanted to send people over, etc. He also briefly gave examples of what they needed to bring, and finally said that they would arrive in a few days.
The language is concise and the meaning is clear!
However, Sean still couldn't understand why Earl Hamilton, whom he had never met before, seemed so enthusiastic.
He remembered that at the funeral of his father, the previous generation's Baron Weigel, no nobles attended, not even a greeting. But this time, unexpectedly, such a thing happened! It was so sudden that Sean couldn't even believe it was a blessing from the God of Luck.
"Luke..."
"I am here, my Lord."
Sean needs to ask this university scholar.
"Has our Telemian ever had any connection with the city of Koga?" If the two sides want to have a connection, they need to first find out whether they have had any dealings with each other before.
"Koga is the closest major city to us. Its ruler, Earl Hamilton, has been a local lord for even longer than we have. He was probably the leader of the southern generation before the rise of the Weigel family. However, we haven't had any contact with him in recent years. The earliest we had was during the generation of your ancestors, when we were at war..."
"Okay, I understand."
Sean hurriedly interrupted what the other party was about to say.
The previous generation of Baron Weigel participated in the clearing mission led by the Southern Earl. I have heard various versions of this incident since I came to this world. I have heard every detail of the rumor several times, and there are various versions of the story.
There are also versions about my grandfather going to the city to pick up girls...
Well……
Sometimes small places are really scary. It’s been a hundred years, but it’s still being sung!
There wasn't much local news, and the only thing that could be adapted was this story. He'd even heard drunken old guards at home tell him how, in his youth, after hearing this story, he'd dreamed of going to the city to pick up a beautiful woman, only to be met with setbacks and sigh, "Lord Weigel is still the most charming!" Sean didn't know how to complain.
But then again, since we've been separated for several generations, the other party is the same.
Moreover, as a truly prominent family in the area, just a visit to express their condolences would already be very appealing, and they even sent gifts... Shouldn't I go out of town to greet them with tears of gratitude?
The Bashalan Empire where Sean lives is a united kingdom jointly managed by the nobles. Although the whole world belongs to the king, the local nobles are the ones who truly have the power to exercise power in the local area. Even nobles of higher status have to abide by the local rules when they go to the territories of other smaller nobles in theory.
This is the foundation of the country and cannot be shaken by one or two nobles.
So there shouldn't be any threats... Earl Hamilton might have other ideas behind this.
"Then what do you think we should do? But those supplies are indeed very helpful to us." Luke is a smart man and should be aware of his concerns.
I'm short-handed...
However, his small income as a noble was not enough to support the victims in the entire town to get through the difficult period. In the first few days, he almost took out food from the warehouse at home to provide them with food. But later he found that he had stockpiled supplies and food for several years. After the funeral of the previous generation of Baron Weigel, he was hit by the avalanche disaster.
It's starting to bottom out now.
Luke calculated that if he continued to spend like this, it might be used up in less than a month. However, if he wanted to replenish it, he would have to wait for the Empire to replenish the funds in the spring.
The carefree days of only spending and not earning will not last long.
"Yes! Why wouldn't I want it if it's a gift from someone else..."
It's a good opportunity to see what kind of "greetings" the famous Earl Hamilton has brought.
…………………………
In fact, it hadn't snowed since a few days before the avalanche, and the snowy season was coming to an end.
In Sean's vision, the sky was almost clear every day, and the heavy snow had almost melted after several consecutive days, but the temperature was still very low. After the snow melted, the village covered by the snow could be seen more clearly, especially the destroyed houses and dirty roads.
The focus now is on dealing with these, and then the reconstruction work will come later.
A simple calculation shows that the cost other than labor is also very high, and it is indeed difficult to bear it all by yourself.
However, on the fourth day after that, Sean finally received news from Dante again, and this time it was one of his guards who came to report that Dante had entered the mountains with the team from Koga City and would probably arrive at the town the day after tomorrow. And this time the team was led by Arya Hamilton, the third daughter of Earl Hamilton.
daughter.
He actually asked his daughter to come over.
Sean looked at Luke beside him, who was also lost in thought.
"Tell me what you think, Luke." Sean let the other person speak.
"The fact that Earl Hamilton has his daughter here shows his sincerity and willingness to get along with us. I think this is an opportunity for you to make friends with the upper class nobles." Luke's words clearly meant that he was going to prepare well to entertain this noble lady.
"How about this, Luke... you have someone clean up the streets, especially the streets leading into the town... ask them how many people are coming in total. It would be best to vacate some accommodations. Miss Hamilton and her confidants can be accommodated at home, and the others can preferably stay in a nearby hotel. If there are really a lot of people, we have to reserve a piece of open space nearby for them to camp. Let the young people who are working there withdraw first for the next few days." He thought about what he could think of at the moment.
"By the way, show me the economic reports of the town over the years. Go ahead."
"Yes. My Lord... My Lord has finally decided to make good use of this opportunity. I will do it now."
I looked at the state of [excitement] appearing above the other person's head again.
Sometimes I really don’t understand why Luke thinks so much!!!
What he can do now is to maximize the interests of the town of Telemian. People with bare feet are not afraid of those with shoes. Sometimes small places also have their own advantages.
Who doesn’t know how to play the victim?
I can also tell some touching stories!
Sean was somewhat thankful that he had watched more talent shows in his previous life.
