Chapter 70 (1/2)

A few days later, Donne finally returned to Ellington, and Locke, who accompanied him, had long been desperate for Ellington.

Why? Because there was not even a decent village in the several days' journey from leaving caspamiburg to entering Ellington territory!

Although the area of Ellington is much larger than caspamiburg, the prosperity is much worse.

What's good in a place like this?

Locke sighed in his heart, but he couldn't lose face and refused Donne, so he had to continue to follow him.

However, the closer he got to Ellington, the more uncertain the expression on Donne's face was.

”Eh? Lord, elder brother, there are several water tankers by the river...”

Elia shouted happily, ”it looks so beautiful.”

As Elia said, in ten days, Ellington has changed. It's not just a few more water tankers, but more importantly, Ellington town seems to have expanded outward, and there's a factory building under construction nearby.

Fiona is so capable?

Donne did not bother to introduce Ellington to Locke. After taking them to the only hotel in town, he hurried back to the Lord's house.

And Elia went home to report peace.

As soon as I came outside the study, I heard the noise inside.

”Lord Fiona, the charcoal factory has been completed. Can we transfer those people to our Mint workshop? We urgently need to expand production and storage space.”

”What's your hurry! First come, first served! Compared with the mint workshop, our soap workshop needs a new production workshop - the smell in the warehouse now is so bad! Therefore, the work efficiency of those employees is extremely high!”

”Hey, Fiona! No matter what these people say, there are no fewer people in the mine! In the big brother's plan, a lot of iron ore will be used next!”

Donne smiled. It seemed that Fiona played very well when he was away. At least Ellington could see progress.

”Fiona...”

In front, a woman who looked like she was in her thirties stood up and stopped Donne: ”who are you? Go to the back and line up whether you want people or money!”

Another middle-aged man nodded again and again: ”that's it! Now there's a shortage of hands and gold coins everywhere. Don't want to jump the queue!”

Donne couldn't laugh or cry.

”Shut up.”

Fiona pinched her eyebrows and got up with a sigh of relief: ”you're back... Hilton, Thomas, this is our current Lord, Lord Donne. Don't be rude.”

”Lord!?”

Surprised, Hilton and Thomas quickly put away their rudeness and bowed to Donne: ”please forgive me, Lord!”

”No gift.”

Donne winked at Fiona. Fiona immediately said, ”I know all your requirements. Go down first and arrange it after I think about it.”

”I see, Lord Fiona, but please confirm it as soon as possible, and we can get on track one day earlier.”

Both men left. Brian wanted to talk to Donne about charcoal steelmaking, but Donne drove him away and said he would talk later.

Brian expressed his anger at this.

”If you don't come back, I'm afraid those people will think that I murdered you and usurped the throne...”

Fiona said with a wry smile, ”tell me, what's the harvest of this trip?”

Donne shrugged, took up the cup, drank a mouthful of water, and said casually, ”I've gained a lot. I robbed Baron duvier's vault, then killed him, and bought a lot of alchemy materials. Most importantly, I found spicy --”

”You! Say! What!?”

Fiona suddenly raised her voice and looked at Donne in amazement, hoping that Donne was joking with her.

But Donne blinked at her and said very seriously, ”yes, it's all true.”

”My God...”

Fiona fell back to her seat in great pain: ”I know your strength is very strong, but you directly murder an imperial nobleman or Lord. This crime is enough for the Empire to send troops to suppress it, not to mention that there is a cadil family behind Baron duvier! Do you want Ellington to become ruins again?”

”Don't worry, it won't. the death of duvier is expected to make the cardier family busy for a while.”

Donne's face gloated: ”he died in vain.”

”What's going on?”

”Baron duvier made a deal with a cult, kidnapped a little girl in his territory and gave it to the cult. Nothing else, this matter alone is enough to make Baron duvier infamous for thousands of years.”

Don smashed his mouth. He missed the taste of drinks for a long time. However, although there was no drink here, he could get tea.

”There should be such a thing... What are you doing?”
