Drip drip drip…
It was a dark cave, and water was constantly dripping from the top. There was a bonfire in the cave, and about a dozen people surrounded the fire, looking at a person in front of them respectfully.
The shadow of the person kept changing under the light of the fire. There was a pair of pointed ears on top of the shadow.
Annie was a fox beastkin. She was the leader and the backbone of this group of beastkins.
She was extremely tired and hungry and h...
What appeared in front of Lucas was paper, another product ahead of the current era. It was also an important item that he needed to make major changes.
Lucas picked up the paper in front of him and found that it was a bit yellowish. After pulling it a few times, he found that the toughness was acceptable.
A plant unique to the other world could be used as a tough fiber, which allowed the paper created to become tough. Lucas had been happy for a long time when he first heard abo...
“Young master, I'll ask what’s going on.” Mina took out her military knife and quickly walked forward. She wouldn’t allow any existence that would harm the young master. After a short while, she waved her hand to show Lucas that he could come forward.
“What’s the matter?” Lucas frowned and asked, looking at the noisy crowd. He had an ugly expression.
“Young master, they insisted that they must see you." James said respectfully.
He wasn’t afraid at al...
“Alright, we’ll put these compound bows away and put them in the storeroom of the castle.” Lucas was helpless. He had to hide treasures whenever he had some. Being too advanced might not be a good thing.
“Young master, it’s mostly because we can’t fully utilize the power of this compound bow. It’s a waste to give it to us. It’s better for us to have a recurve bow.” Mina shook her ears and said softly.
“Indeed, only people on the level of divine archers can ex...
Ben and Mina followed Lucas curiously. They went to the logistic warehouse. Except for the logistic clerk, no one could enter the warehouse without Lucas’s warrant.
“Lord Lucas.” the logistic clerk saluted respectfully. He then helped to opened the door and stepped aside.
Lucas nodded and brought the 2 people into the warehouse. There was a wooden frame with a bunch of large boxes at one side. The boxes were all safes.
He went in front of a box and took out a key to...
It was six o’clock in the morning. A sharp whistle sounded, accompanied by Ben's sons yelling and with some chaos.
“One two three four, one two three four, one two three four!”
“One two three four!”
The sound of messy footsteps paired with loud shouts. That was what the residents of Sedona City saw in the morning. They were at a loss standing on the side of the streets, looking at the group of people running while carrying sandbags and shouting numbers in rhythm...
On the beam, Mina took out 2 military knives. She had already wanted to go down to exterminate these people when she heard them scheming against Lucas. If she hadn’t heard the information she had wanted to hear at the critical moment, the food merchants would have already been dead.
“Everyone, don’t forget, we are working for Baron Omar and the other nobles. This new city lord wouldn’t dare to offend them. Otherwise, Baron Omar and the other nobles could send out soldiers toget...
The night in Sedona City was very quiet. The sky was full of gray clouds, blocking the moonlight and making it convenient for people with ulterior motives to do their things.
The dark street was quiet but it was filled with a sour smell. Mina, a beastkin, really hated this smell. She missed her soft bed and soft quilt in the castle. She heard from the young master that it was made from the wool of the sheeps. It was called a duvet… it should be, right? She missed the polished rice po...
Carter was extremely happy. He looked at the five crystal glass cups on the table. He could eat an extra meal every time he saw them.
He carefully held up a glass cup as he looked at the clear and transparent cup. He could vaguely see his appearance on it and he became even more happy.
“If Lucas knew that someone had already bid 15 gold coins for 1 crystal glass cup, how would he feel?” Carter was extremely happy when he thought of this.
He decided to not sell these 5...
Lucas stood by the window in the study room and looked at the military camp. Roars of exhaustion echoed in his ears and he nodded in satisfaction.
This military was his capital to settle down. As long as he had strong soldiers, no one would dare to say that he could be killed.
“Knock knock….”
Someone knocked on the door. Lucas turned his head and saw Nicole coming in with a tray.
“Young master, the afternoon tea is here.” Nicole said softly. She put d...
Chris dumbfoundedly stared at the things in his arms. Shoes, helmet, towel, wooden cup, and wooden bowl. These things would cost at least a few hundred copper coins to buy and they gave it to him just like that?
“What are you standing there for? Quickly get out of the way. Don’t block other people from receiving their things.” Aiden said.
“Oh yes…” Chris nodded blankly and walked away.
In fact other people had similar reactions to him.
When there were ...
“Failed, the next group.” James’s loud voice sounded and the ten commoners left dejected.
This was already the tenth team or also 100 people. No one had passed the obstacles and ran through the full course.
The person with the best score had only completed two-thirds of the course, which was 200 meters. Lucas had not expected this at all. Wasn’t this too weak?
“Young master, the commoner’s bodies are too weak. It’s quite good to have such a result.” Ben sa...
Lucas smiled and looked at the crowd. They had tattered clothes and most of them wore straw sandals. Many of them ate one meal a day. Now there was a roasted boar in front of them. There was an anticipation in their eyes.
Couldn’t they see five Ben's sons also secretly swallowing their saliva? Even though their family didn’t lack meat to eat, a roasted boar with seasoning was what’s really tempting.
The people of this era had a hard time even eating full let alone adding p...
Two days have passed since the allegiance of Ben’s family. Today was the day of the interview and conscription.
In the past two days, many changes have taken place in the castle. The entire castle was reorganized by the Ben family.
Lucas’s castle was divided into 3 parts. Front, middle, and back courtyard. The front courtyard was where the servants or guards lived. Ben and his sons lived in the front courtyard. They refused to go to the back courtyard no matter what.
...
After Ben’s family entered the city, Ben sighed, “Sedona City gives me a completely different feeling, like an old dying tree that regained new life."
There were more people walking on the street now, and many people smiled sincerely. Their eyes are no longer lifeless and also hopeful for the future.
“Everyone is looking forward to the future now that there are less taxes, of course they changed. This is the change brought by Lord Lucas.” Max’s face was full of smiles....
“Don’t worry. These items will only be used inside the castle.” Lucas said with a light smile. Everything he brought from Earth would be used internally first.
The ones that would be disclosed were simplified versions. For example, he planned to make paper and the paper wouldn’t be very white and sturdy.
But once it is released, Lucas believes that there would be a lot of demand and the implementation of all this work would require a lot of manpower.
“That’s g...
Early in the morning, Lucas woke up and felt that someone was watching him. He groggily turned his head and his eyes made contact with a pair of deep purple eyes. The sudden appearance of a person made his heart skip a beat and his sleepiness completely disappeared.
Mina smiled mischievously and said, “Lord Lucas, are you awake?”
“Why did you come in?” Lucas raised his eyebrows, looked at Mina’s dress and nodded in satisfaction, “This dress suits you well.”
...
After filling his storage space with the item he stole(brought) from the several supermarket. He cleaned his messy room. Then he closed his eyes and spoke "To another world" in his mind.
When Lucas opened his eyes again. He had reappeared in the study room and it was already dark outside. He checked his watch and said, “It’s already 8 p.m., did I forget something?”
“Knock knock…”
Someone knocked on the door and Lucas immediately thought of Mina. “Is she hung...
“Whaaat…” Max was so angry that his eyebrows were raised, and his hand slapped the people in front of him like the wind. The heads in front of him all got hit by the hand, and he angrily roared, “Shut up!”
Everyone was stunned and blankly looked at the angry Max.
“Hey, there are some words you can’t randomly say. You haven’t even figured out the situation yet and are already ruining my reputation, that’s a villain's behavior.” Max pointed his finger at the no...
Max didn’t know what other people thought, and he didn’t want to know. A monthly salary of 120 copper coins to be a clerk was extremely tempting.
He used to be a teacher in Sedona City, but most of the people in Sedona City don’t even have enough to eat, so how would they have money to go to school?
Therefore, he lived extremely poorly, and now that there was a job with a monthly salary of 120 copper coins his heart was moved with joy.
Max squeezed out of the crowd,...
“In other words, when it’s time for the wheat to be harvested, people will come and rob us?” Lucas frowned.
“Of course, weak cities will be robbed." Mina said confidently. She had tailed thieves before and had witnessed the events with her own eyes.
Lucas frowned. It wasn’t that far away from the autumn harvest; there were at most 20 days left. He immediately thought of Carter and realized why Carter sold him the city and the territory.
“What are you going to ...
“Is what you said true? Will you really let me go?” Mina asked again.
“Yes,” Lucas answered with a bitter smile. He had answered the question three times already.
From the time he had said he would let the catgirl leave, she had repeatedly asked in disbelief several times.
“Why? Am I ugly? Don’t you nobles all like beastkin girls?” Mina said, frowning.
“Yes, you’re ugly.” Lucas said jokingly. The corners of his mouth raised.
“That’s i...
When Lucas returned to the room again with a few things, he found the cat girl sitting on the table with her hands on her stomach. It was obvious that she had eaten until she was full.
After living in this world for a month Lucas knew how barren this world was and it was because the poor were very poor.
Polished rice could only be eaten by the high nobles and had to be transported from the west. Wheat was the only food crop in the west. As such, Lucas wasn’t very surpr...
Mina was a beastkin from the cat race. She hadn’t eaten anything for three days.
Mina already knew what her ending would be when she was caught and put into the dungeon. She would either be killed or become a plaything for the humans to satisfy their desire. Today was the day where she would meet her fate.
She was filled with regret as she remembered how she had believed in humans. She regretted believing that humans would actually be kind enough to give her food. She hadn’t...
There was a small plaza in front of the castle. When Lucas and Carter got outside, about 2,000 people had gathered and were staring at the two of them.
Lucas saw disgust and indifference in the residents’ eyes while looking at Carter. He silently glanced at Carter thinking 'Looks like the residents don’t like Carter'.
Carter was still smiling. He ignored the eyes of the citizens and said, “Lord Baron, most of the citizens of Sedona City are here.”
“Declare it!...
Lucas carelessly put the two things to the side, and said calmly, “Then let’s check the goods and settle the price.”
“Okay!” Carter nodded and immediately called over a middle-aged man, his butler who was a shrewd man just like him.
“Butler, help us estimate the cost.” Carter said.
“Yes, my Lord." The butler replied respectfully.
Lucas put a box on the table, opened it and took out five glasses from the inside. The glasses were the kind that cost about ...
“Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop.”
The sound of horseshoes rang continuously.
At the forefront of the group were Carter and his son Fez.
“Lord Father, how long do you think that kid can persist before he resells the territory and the city?” Fez asked with a cold smile.
Carter’s eyes flashed with slyness, looking at the desolate mountains in the distance. “This kid is a bit capable, but he probably won’t be able to stay there next spring. None actually man...
“What? You want to sell me a city?” Lucas said, widening his eyes in disbelief.
“Yes, my friend. I will sell my territory and a city to you.” Carter said, his voice full of sincerity.
“Let me think about it." Lucas said, frowning. He was a bit surprised. He did a lot of transactions but this was one of the most outrageous ones.
A light flashed through Carter’s eyes. “My friend, what are ...
