Chapter 58 (1/2)
”Lord, what are these newly recruited people for? For their work, we have to pay an additional 300 gold coins a month!”
”Don't worry, they will earn these 300 gold coins back.”
”But we haven't made a gold coin yet!”
Fiona was a little helpless: ”even if there are a lot of gold coins in the vault, she can't afford to spend like this.”
”Fiona,” said Donne earnestly, ”if you want to make Ellington's economy active, you must first let the residents have gold coins available. I'm hiring these people to deliver gold coins to the residents.”
”But how can we earn it back then?”
”Wait, soon, when I finish the plan... How's the situation at the blacksmith shop?”
”The mine has begun to transport iron ore to Ellington. Now it is only a small amount of inventory. A large amount of iron ore should be delivered in two days. Brian and Edgar are working overtime to manufacture waterwheel. Edgar has recruited several apprentices. After the apprentices are skilled, the efficiency will be higher. It is estimated that it will take a week for the waterwheel to be fully laid.”
”Where's the guard?”
”The guard has begun to receive new training...”
Speaking of the guard, Fiona's face was very strange: ”Lord, what training method did you use? I heard from Elsa that the guard people have been crazy these two days. After the training, they came home and ate a meal, slept directly in bed, and no one went to the pub to drink. Would this be too strict?”
”Ha ha...”
Donne smiled: ”if they still have the energy to drink in the pub under this kind of training, it only means that the training load I give is not heavy enough... Don't worry, although it's more strict, at least they won't die on the battlefield.”
”That's true, and I haven't heard any complaints from them. After knowing that this is your training method, they have a high enthusiasm for training.”
”That's good... But I think the key is the reward of training.”
”Reward?”
”I promise that the top three of each month's training will be given extra rewards and the last three will be punished.”
”No wonder...”
”By the way, did you reply to the letter you sent?”
If Fiona's people can't come, Don will have to find a way to solve the problem of the caravan by himself.
”I have received a reply.”
Referring to this matter, Fiona showed a happy face: ”after they know my current situation, they are happy to come to you. Now they should be on the road and will come in a few days.”
”Very good. Then shift the focus of your work in the past two days, start the preparation of the chamber of Commerce, and report to me after you sort out the specific things.”
”I see - where are you going?”
”I'll find Elia.”
Donne patted his ass and left.
”Elia! Elia again!”
Fiona frowned. Why has Donne been looking for the little girl these two days? Although the little girl is really cute and likable, as a lord, she doesn't work hard all day to find an orphan girl. If others know, I'm afraid Donne's reputation will stink!
Donne doesn't care. In his heart, Elia's importance is much more important than those so-called fame.
”Elia.”
”Lord, big brother!”
Elia saw that Donne was very happy. She trotted over and hung it on him.
Donne hugged Elia and said with a smile, ”how do you feel today?”
”Very good. The method taught me by my big brother is really easy to use. I can feel that those lovely little light balls are like obedient babies. If I think about it, they will all gather in my hand.”
Elia said with a smile, stretched out her dirty little hand, and a colorful small light ball condensed in her hand.
Donne's eyes flashed and he was secretly shocked by Elia's magic affinity.
He only taught Elijah a simple magic control method these two days. Unexpectedly, she could do so. How terrible her talent is
”I see. Let them spread out. For the time being, don't let others know that you learn magic from me.”
”All right.”
Elia regretfully dispersed her magic: ”I also want the little light ball to dance for my mother.”
”Don't do that.”
Donne shook his head. Before, the residents of Ellington regarded Elia as a monster when they saw her talent. Now she can't master her talent well. What if she scares people again?
It can be seen that Elia likes Clara and Elsa very much now. If Clara can't stand the shock and abandons Elia again, the little girl is estimated to be sad and dead. No matter how strong and optimistic she is, she will turn black.
”Today, let's try to gather only small blue light balls and make them agglomerate in your hands.”
Although the fire element is more lively and is the easiest element to use, but because the fire element is too lively, children like Elia will lose control and hurt themselves if they are not careful, so Donne decided to start training Elia with the gentle water element first.
”Is that so?”
Elia opened her hand curiously, and a blue light in her palm was glowing.
