The specific recruitment details were finalized on the spot, with a focus on recruiting elven mages. Of course, those skilled in plant magic and magic runes could also be recruited.
"That's enough, Moses, you may leave now!"
Having spent most of his time at the lord's manor lately, Ron suddenly had plans to travel again.
Since March, I've been checking intelligence, and it seems the territory is developing quite well. Today is the perfect day to go out and take a look.
"Vivian, take Little Ta, Rita, and Uncle Arno, let's go for a walk."
"Yes, young master."
Try wearing the lord's clothes directly, while Rita wears a face mask. There's no other way; the head-turning rate is guaranteed to be 100%, so that's enough.
The face of an angel is for those who are destined to see it.
Last time, countless people saw the angel's face clearly. At that time, the angel was high in the sky and was shrouded in divine light. It is likely that only those with sufficient spiritual strength could see it.
Rita, standing behind him, seemed to have become the lord's personal bodyguard, much like Uncle Arno.
We arrived at the gate of the mansion.
"My lord!"
"My lord!"
"Hmm," Ron responded to the doorman, gesturing for them to get up.
He had no particular purpose in going out this time; he simply wanted to check on the development of his own city.
I randomly chose a direction and walked along, heading towards the loudest sounds, until I unknowingly arrived at a bustling market street.
It was unclear who called out, "Lord... Lord."
Suddenly, a large number of people turned their attention to this place and even bowed to it.
Thankfully, the kneeling and bowing rituals of the past are no longer necessary.
"Get up, and pay no heed to my lord."
It wasn't until Ron walked out of the block that people came to their senses.
"It's been three months, and the lord is out for a stroll again."
"Hey, does your lord come out often?"
"..."
People were talking about it, and Ron was watching them.
The other block was just as bustling as before.
Thinking back to when I went out three months ago, there are quite a few more people dressed in expensive clothes now.
“That is Lord Sandy.”
"..."
"My lord, I am the son of a count from the Rich Empire. Why don't you come and greet this nobleman from the Empire?"
Ron looked at this man as if he were an idiot; he treated even the imperial prince with the same indifference.
Sigh, a bunch of guys with lots of magic crystals have arrived, but there are also quite a few with questionable intelligence!
Ah-no subtly revealed his aura as a great swordsman, and the guy immediately became obedient.
...
After wandering around for a while, thankfully, there were relatively few spoiled brats.
Ron's previous experience of almost being stopped served as a reminder.
He was a viscount of a small kingdom, but now the city has seen the arrival of many noble sons from the empire!
There are always a few who are unreasonable and cause trouble. We should intensify our efforts to publicize these issues to prevent major chaos.
Oh right, I should set up a duel arena when I get back.
Duels among nobles were common, which at least prevented damage to the neighborhood.
Before they knew it, Ron and his companions had arrived at a less populated area.
Is this place booked out?
Another high-ranking nobleman... Ron is really not used to so many powerful young men coming to the territory!
But he was still in a good mood; he could almost see piles of moving magic crystals.
"My lord, shall we go into this restaurant?" Arno asked.
The main reason was that Arno sensed that there were also Master-level beings inside.
The elemental aura was so obvious, as if it wanted everyone to know…
"No need, let's go and look at other places."
As Ron walked, he finally spotted some elves visiting Sandy City.
Just then, several elves beside the carriage were looking at the recruitment notice in the lord's manor.
“Not bad, not bad. As long as one or two elves are interested in the salary in the notice, that will be enough.”
Unfortunately, Ron was wrong. Of the three young elves, two women and one man, all would eventually leave.
The man was stronger and seemed to have some responsibilities along the way. The elven man turned around with his back arched and told the people inside the carriage the contents of the notice.
While he was somewhat interested in the guys in the car, Ron was more concerned about the loss of talent.
Ron stepped forward and politely stopped the two elven girls.
“Beautiful lady, why not accept the position at the lord’s manor? You can try staying in a scenic room for three months, no rent, just a place to stay, plus forty medium-grade magic crystals per month…”
Ron essentially reiterated the job posting from the notice.
However, Ron's clothes clearly indicated that he was an aristocrat, and due to historical reasons, the elves generally did not have a good impression of human nobles.
"Human, you're blocking our way. What do you want? We elves don't work for humans."
"But you can also join the Magic Bow Guild!"
"That's a partnership. The vice president of the guild is a powerful elven... In short, you humans shouldn't even think about recruiting us elves..."
"Come on, Heidi."
Ron stood there, speechless for a moment. Perhaps he had been too naive. Come to think of it, there was no rumor on the continent of any noble having any voluntary elf subordinates.
Thankfully Ron came out today, otherwise this job posting would have been completely ineffective!
Because of the existence of the Magic Bow Guild, there are some elves there, as well as some things that specifically attract elves, such as cute pets. The elves are happy to stay longer and will even bring one or two companions back to play when they go back.
The report from March suggested that the Elven population was sufficient for the first round of recruitment...
Sigh, I still need to think about it some more.
After a moment's thought, Ron finally let go of his previous feelings of disappointment.
Oh, and there was also a male elf there.
Why didn't he leave? Could it be that this noble carriage has some special background?
Suddenly, a girl's silvery laughter rang out from the other side of the carriage curtain.
That voice... it sounds kind of familiar.
Ron couldn't help but become interested in the person inside the carriage once again.
He didn't have to wait long before a noblewoman and a maid emerged from the carriage.
“Tabitha…” Ron’s gaze lingered; she was indeed an unexpected old acquaintance.
After Prince Field, Sandy Territory has once again gained a top-tier noble of imperial caliber. Sandy Territory has truly become famous!
"What, our champion, are you surprised to see me? So even our number one genius can be defeated?"
It was unclear whether Tebbisa was referring to the two young elves from before, or to Ron's reaction to her.
Although she made a joke, Tabitha immediately bowed slightly.
"My daughter Tebbisa greets the Viscount of the Kingdom."
By the way, although Tabitha is likely to become a future duchess, she is currently only the heir, unlike those troublesome fellows we encountered before.
"You're too kind, Miss. Perhaps we could discuss this further in another place?"
Ron glanced again at the male elf behind Tebbisa; he really wanted to know how Tebbisa had subdued the elves.
The elven man appears to be her guard.
Despite being stared at by Ron, the archer with the bow on his back completely ignored him.
His composure and lack of dislike for human nobles suggest that this elven man may have some story to tell.
With all sorts of thoughts in mind.
On the other hand, Tabitha possessed the girlish charm of a noblewoman.
'Did I overestimate this guy before? Why was he so absent-minded when he extended the invitation?'
Before Tabitha could notice Ron looking at the male elf, Ron made a gesture of invitation first.
After thinking for a moment, Tebbisa calmly said, "Lead the way!"
She had come with a purpose, and meeting Ron here was perfect.
The noble lady returned to her carriage, and Ron and the others took them back to the lord's manor.
