Chapter 8 The Baroness Faces an Economic Crisis



I don’t know if it was because of the fallen electric baton, but the skeletons actually escaped like that.

The gate of the Earl's castle creaked in the rain, and the undead with blue ghostly fire in their eye sockets gradually disappeared in the sunrise.

Chi Sui, who was delighted with his afro, was carried back to the bedroom by Ellie.

Mary and Ole came out of the house and cleaned up the mess.

The sun is rising.

The curtains were opened, and the stained glass reflected a brightness that was different from the style of the dilapidated castle.

Chi Sui slowly got up from the bed, and after she finished peeing in the wooden bucket brought by Ellie, she opened the window melancholy, intending to look at the green fields outside to heal her sad mood.

"vomit……"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the window, a foul smell of feces rushed in. Chi Sui closed the window with a green face.

Because the amplitude was too large, the colored glass made a crisp sound.

snap

The glass on the window cracked and fell from the second floor, almost hitting Ole who was repairing the courtyard wall below.

Now, nothing can stop the shit from attacking the fragrant bedroom.

Chi Sui: ...numb...

Ellie sighed: "Madam, do we need to repair the castle and restart the magic circle?"

Chi Sui smelled the stench of manure, her mind a mess. She lowered her eyes and said, "Let me think about it."

Ellie nodded. Although the Baroness was easygoing, she was just a servant after all and couldn't say much.

Soon, the aroma of whole wheat bread mixed with the stench of feces in the castle. Chi Sui gritted his teeth. Great, he just had a little appetite, but he was nauseated again.

Mary and Ole cleaned the castle carefully, the moss was scraped away, and a thin red carpet was laid on the long marble-top dining table. On top of the carpet was a bamboo basket filled with large pieces of whole-wheat bread.

There was only one set of cutlery on the table: sliced ​​bread on a white ceramic plate and a glass of thick milk in a cup next to it.

The only tableware that looked like a bowl was filled with a bowl of jam.

Mary and Ellie stood aside politely, while Ole had a towel draped over his arm and a tray filled with brewed black tea.

"My Lady Countess."

Ole bowed to Chi Suiji.

Chi Sui responded, pulled out the creaky old chair, and found a cushion on it.

The upholstery isn't very good, but it looks new.

Chi Sui felt a little relieved. She sat down, pretending to ignore the ubiquitous smell of feces, and finished two pieces of whole wheat bread at a snail's pace.

Surprisingly, this whole wheat bread tasted very good, not inferior to the refined wheat bread she ate in the palace.

"Who prepared breakfast?"

Chi Sui raised his eyes lazily, a smile flashing in his eyes.

Mary came out uneasily: "My Lady, I did it..."

Seeing that Mary was a little uneasy, Chi Sui smiled at her: "It's delicious, thank you for providing me with such a delicious breakfast."

Mary looked up flattered, her eyes filled with surprise and astonishment, unable to conceal it: "Madam...as long as you like it..."

Mary rubbed her hands subconsciously, a smile on her wrinkled face.

After Chi Sui had breakfast, he walked around the castle inside and out with Ellie.

When she left the palace, she took nothing with her except some personal belongings.

Including food.

The bags of whole wheat flour in the kitchen were brought by Ellie's family.

They also brought a lot of practical household items. In other words, Chi Sui had nothing except clothes, four-piece suits, incense and bed curtains.

Chi Sui paused and waved, "Ellie, where's Al?"

Ellie stepped forward and said, "Brother went to the Brave Association to find out the situation."

Chi Sui nodded: "Tell him to come see me when he comes back."

Back in the bedroom, Chi Sui asked Ellie to find some paper and a pen, and used the wooden box as a desk and began to write and draw.

Ellie couldn't see what Chi Sui was writing, but she could see clearly that Chi Sui's handwriting was very beautiful, neat and elegant.

"444, search the mall for house design drawings."

"Okay, honey."

Soon, many private links to house design drawings appeared on the screen in front of me.

Chi Sui looked at the prices and found that most of them were above 30,000 trading coins.

“Tsk…”

Chi Sui looked at the plan in his hand and found that things had reached a deadlock.

According to her plan, there are three things to do:

1. Restart the magic circle.

2. Redesign the Earl’s Castle to include toilets and meet basic living needs.

3. Eliminate the smell of feces in the territory.

These three items are also arranged according to priority.

According to what Ellie meant, restarting the magic circle is the primary goal. So far, ensuring the safety of everyone in the castle is the top priority.

So, can I complete the first task with the remaining 900 gold coins?

Chi Sui didn't understand the market situation, but soon, Al came back.

He came to the dining table without even having time to change his armor.

Don't wonder why they don't discuss issues in the conference room but in the restaurant. The reason is simple: there is only one usable table in the entire castle.

"Al, how much does it cost to restart the castle magic circle?"

Chi Sui raised his eyes and looked at Ai'er.

El hesitated for a moment and said, "My Lady... There are two ways to restart the magic circle."

"One is a magician with the power of light to restart it."

"One is to buy magic stones that are endowed with the power of light by the light magician to replenish the energy needed for the formation."

"The second method is long-term. Once the power of light in the magic stone is exhausted, a new magic stone will need to be placed, otherwise the magic circle will close again."

Chi Sui nodded: "Are there any light magicians in our territory?"

Ole interrupted ruthlessly: "My Lady, there are no more than ten light magicians in the whole country. Our territory has very few magicians, let alone light magicians."

The corner of Al's mouth twitched. Here he was again, his father. Did he have to put things so bluntly? Even though what he said was the truth.

For a moment, the whole family held their breath, and they all looked at the Baroness in horror, fearing that the Baroness would dislike Ole, the housekeeper, and would dislike them too.

Chi Sui's expression did not change. He looked at Ole earnestly with his big eyes, as if he was listening attentively.

Ole was stunned, and his uncontrollable mouth started again: "Besides, even if we can hire a light magician, we don't have the gold coins to pay for it."

Chi Sui nodded: "What about the second one?"

Ole thought for a moment and said honestly, "My Lady, the second option is very convenient. The cost of purchasing a Philosopher's Stone is very high, but I'm worried about another aspect."

Al opened his mouth, about to stop his father from continuing, when he saw the Baroness sit up straight with a serious face: "Go ahead."

Ole's expression grew more serious. "El went to the Brave Guild, also known as the Adventurer's Guild, early this morning."

"For the Adventurer's Guild, the Baroness has reactivated the castle's magic circle. The castle's magic circle has a wide protection range. Once it is reactivated, all the people in the territory will be protected..."
