The weather in Alicante was dry and cold, with a biting wind that tried its best to get into people's bodies, especially at night. The weather was already cold, and Jiang Jin was shivering with cold even though she was holding the little one wrapped in a blanket.
Jiang Jin was trembling with cold. She looked down and saw the little guy sleeping soundly. His face was rosy, he was breathing with his mouth open, and his fists were clenched. He was so well-behaved.
"Comparing yourself to others is always frustrating." Can you even fall asleep like this?! Jiang Jin cried and pinched the little guy's nose. The little guy waved his arms, turned his head, curled up on the blanket, and slept even more soundly.
Jiang Jin tried to close her eyes and sleep, but she could hear the sound of wind in her ears, and the coldness slid in along the blanket. She had to put on her cloak and check if the window was closed. When she looked over, she found that the window was closed. Where did the wind come from?
Jiang Jin sighed, her face turned pale and her brows furrowed.
It's too cold. Jiang Jin is too delicate and frail to bear this kind of suffering.
She did remember that there was a magic that could keep the environment around her at a suitable temperature, but that magic required someone with strong magical power to hold it.
Given Jiang Jin's physical condition and limited magic power, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep all night to maintain the magic. She also had to keep taking magic recovery potions to keep the magic going.
When she thought of this, Jiang Jin felt sad. This body was really useless. Jiang Jin started crying again.
"Phew, if I oversleep in such cold weather, when I wake up the next day, the city of Alicante will probably have a new owner." Jiang Jin laughed at herself, picked up a bell from the bedside, opened the door and shook it outside.
The jingle of bells soon echoed on the third floor. A moment later, two sleepy maids ran over. Jiang Jin took a look and saw that they were Bella and Daisy.
"Are you on duty tomorrow night?" Jiang Jin was a little surprised. She remembered that she had clearly said that these two people would not need to do anything else in the future and should just concentrate on taking care of the little guy.
Bella and Daisy exchanged a glance, and Daisy spoke up, "Lord, the two maids on duty this evening are sick, and Lord Yager asked us to take their place."
Sick? Why do these maids always get sick? Jiang Jin raised her eyebrows.
It seems that it is time to put the matter of having all the servants in the City Lord's Mansion exercise.
"It's too cold here. You two go to the kitchen and get some firewood. I want to build a fireplace." Jiang Jin only came up with the idea of starting a fire to keep warm after seeing the fireplace in the bedroom.
Bella and Daisy did as they were told and quickly brought over two bundles of firewood. Bella put the firewood into the fireplace one by one, and Daisy struck a few small matches she carried with her and threw them into the fireplace.
The tiny flame of the match flickered and then went out in an instant.
"Huh?" Daisy tilted her head in confusion.
She lit another small flame and used the dry leaves underneath to ignite it. The flame grew bigger and a smile appeared on Jiang Jin's face. She could already feel the comfortable fireplace that could drive away the cold waving at her.
As soon as Daisy put the leaves into the fireplace, the flames suddenly flickered and went out again.
"It's windy," Daisy concluded, and Bella nodded.
Jiang Jin held her forehead with her hand. "The doors and windows are all closed, but there's still a draft in the room. It's really giving me a headache."
Bella hesitated for a moment and said cautiously, "Lord City Lord, the City Lord's Mansion hasn't been repaired for a long time. I, I remember, there are small holes in many places."
Jiang Jin: ...
It turns out that it’s not all because of my succubus physique!
"Bella, you look over there, Daisy, you look here." Jiang Jin was determined to solve the problem of the cold wind in the bedroom that day, so the three of them went to three directions and searched.
It would have been a waste if she hadn't looked for it. Once she looked, Jiang Jin found that there were three small holes in the corner of the wall beside the bed. The cold wind was blowing in. It would be strange if it wasn't cold.
"I, I have five here." Bella spoke haltingly, and considerately used firewood of appropriate size to block the holes that could be blocked first.
"I only have one here." Daisy's tone was a little strange.
Jiang Jin leaned over to take a look, and the black lines on her face were almost solidified.
It was indeed a hole the size of Brooke's fist hidden behind a vase, which was really hard to guard against.
The city lord's room was already in such a dilapidated state, Jiang Jin couldn't imagine how dilapidated the other places here must be.
The three of them took great pains to block up all the holes in the room, and only then did the fireplace slowly start to burn, keeping most of the cold wind out.
Jiang Jin sat in front of the fireplace and warmed herself by the fire, finally warming up her icy hands and feet. She leaned comfortably on the blanket, and fatigue finally washed over her like a tide, bringing with it a deep sleepiness.
Soon, Jiang Jin fell asleep. Seeing this, Bella immediately pulled Daisy's arm. Daisy looked at the blanket under Jiang Jin reluctantly. She wanted to touch this fluffy blanket that looked very expensive, but she hesitated for a while and didn't dare to do it. She just let Bella take her out.
The two of them quietly closed the door, leaving a gap so that it wouldn't be too stuffy inside.
After Bella and Daisy finished this, they went to the small room at the foot of the stairs on the third floor. That was the temporary rest and sleeping place for the night watch maids. It was small and could only accommodate two small beds, but it was also a rare place of warmth.
Daisy lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. All she could think about was the beautiful, spotless white blanket beneath Jiang Jin. She thought it must be very comfortable to sleep there. Jiang Jin was truly a wealthy and capable aristocratic lady.
She is also a magician. God really favors her too much. Daisy wanted to talk to Bella, but when she turned around, she saw Bella sleeping like a dead pig, with her legs spread out and no posture at all.
Daisy sighed, got up and wrapped Bella in the sheets. Seeing that she was wrapped tightly in the sheets, she went back to her own bed.
This time, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
The firewood in the fireplace was walnut, which had a light and refreshing fragrance when burning. The warm and comfortable feeling made Jiang Jin feel like she was floating in the clouds. It was too late that night and Jiang Jin was too sleepy, so she didn't have time to finish her day's review.
The only thing she was thinking about was that tomorrow, she would definitely check the entire City Lord's Mansion to see how many loopholes there were and whether to repair or rebuild what needed to be repaired.
When you are gaining experience in Alicante, you should start by changing the City Lord's Mansion of Alicante and improving your quality of life!
Jiang Jin grinned in her sleep.
