During the time that Sean and Anduin left, the management of Riverbank Town was temporarily handed over to the butler Henry and Anduin's assistant Conte.
After receiving the news of Sean's return, Henry and Conte immediately rushed to the north of the town to greet Sean.
But they searched around and couldn't see Sean. Just when they were wondering, they saw Sean walking out of the cemetery with Morgan and Matthew.
So, the two people hurriedly led their subordinates to salute Sean and Matthew:
"Master, Your Highness Matthew, you are finally back!"
A large number of subordinates and townspeople who came to greet Sean saluted Sean.
Matthew nodded towards them, and then said to Sean: "Sean, I'll leave first. I'll go see Kate."
"OK, go ahead."
Matthew jumped into the air and flew directly towards Constantinople.
...
Sean helped Henry and Conte up, and at the same time looked at the townspeople who came to greet him.
Because summer has arrived, the townspeople did not have flowers in their hands, but they all waved their hats to pay tribute to Sean, and at the same time sang songs to welcome Sean's return. The scene was very lively.
The melody of the song was very nice. After listening to it, Sean asked Henry:
"Henry, what song are you singing?"
"Sir, what we are singing is a song that a bard recently wrote for you. It seems to be called "You Will Come Back Like Lightning." Henry replied.
"A very good song!" Sean waved to the townspeople, and then led Henry and Conte towards the center of the town.
...
While walking, Henry of course saw Morgan next to Sean, so he asked: "Sir, who is this beautiful lady?"
Sean: "She is Brody's sister Morgan Mill. She will be my assistant from now on, on the same level as the housekeeper Anton...Henry, has anything big happened in the town in the past few days since I left??"
"Master, nothing big happened, it was just small things."
Henry said while thinking:
"You should know that I am in charge of foreign trade. After the Battle of Thorn Ridge, the trade routes in Jon City were opened up. Our soaps, perfumes, spirits, and novels are sold directly north to Palomia, Vernis, and
It was sold to Kapur Port and has been sold all over the country.
Just yesterday, the first batch of soap and toilet soap arrived at Kapur Port, and 500 slaves were also transported to Kapur Port. The manor cannot accommodate them, and I plan to allocate them to the newly opened farm in the west of the town."
"Very good!" Sean nodded with satisfaction: "You must closely monitor these slaves and tell them how to become free people... Moreover, the supervisors of this group of slaves can recruit more free people who have already become free people.
slaves, they have a deep understanding of all this and will better supervise the new slaves."
"Yes, sir." Henry replied.
After chatting with Henry, Sean turned to look at Conte.
Seeing Conte's nervous look, Sean patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous. Tell me, what major events happened in the town during this time?"
"It's...it's nothing...it's nothing big."
Conte answered hesitantly, then took out a small note-taking notebook and reported to Sean:
“The first thing is that Lord Anduin has been away in recent days, and civil litigation cases have begun to backlog;
The second thing is that the construction of infrastructure in the territory is being implemented as planned.
These are small things. The real big thing is that the adults of the Craftsmen Association have been working hard to invent. Recently, they have developed a thing called "refractory bricks" and built the first "cement calciner".
furnace'!"
"Very good! I'll go to the Craftsmen Association when I have time." Sean said with satisfaction: "Now that we have a cement calcining furnace that can produce cement in large quantities, the construction engineering team must recruit people as soon as possible!"
Conte immediately replied: "Lord Anduin has made arrangements before leaving. The cement road leading to Kapur Port and Shuishong Town is ready to be repaired. We are now in the recruitment preparation stage."
...
Sean led the three of them to the center of the town. The townspeople along the way stopped to say hello to Sean, and Sean waved to them.
Seeing that Sean was so loved by the townspeople, Morgan Mill also had a complicated emotion in his heart.
In the past, in Shuisong Town, the townspeople would avoid her and her father when they saw her, and even if they encountered her head-on, they would quickly duck and duck past her. It was basically impossible for someone like Sean to be so loved by the townspeople.
At this moment, a cyan figure suddenly jumped out of the newly built "Hagia Sophia" in the center of the town and rushed straight towards Sean.
Sean was taken aback and immediately wanted to use [Summon Ball Lightning] to dodge, but when he saw that the person rushing towards him was Sophia, he stopped and allowed Sophia to throw herself into his arms.
"Your Highness Sean, you are finally back!" Sofia happily hugged Sean's neck and hung on him like a koala.
Sean rubbed Sophia's little head and said happily: "Sofia, how are you doing recently?"
"I am fine!"
Sophia leaned into Sean's ear and said in the smallest voice: "My father recently discovered a small magic crystal mine near the saltpeter mine. Remember to add money to our mercenary group!"
"Magic crystal mine?!" Sean's eyes lit up, and he leaned into Sophia's ear and said, "Okay, let's talk about the magic crystal mine later when we return to the castle."
Sophia's eyes narrowed and curved into two crescents.
But after seeing Morgan behind Sean, Sophia's eyes suddenly widened again, and she said resentfully:
"Your Highness Sean, who is she?"
His Highness Sean actually brought back another cute girl! The Vivian he brought back last time was enough to give her a headache, and now there is another one!
"Her name is Morgan Mill, she is Brody Mill's biological sister, and she will be my assistant in the future." Sean explained.
"Oh." Sophia got off Sean, but she was obviously unhappy.
Sean saw Morgan also cast a doubtful look, and introduced to Morgan:
"Morgan, this is my goddaughter Sophia, the daughter of the leader of the Flame Cross mercenary group in Yohn City."
"Fuck...daughter?" Morgan's eyes widened when he heard this title. Can people of the same age recognize his daughter?
But considering that Sean did treat her as his daughter during this period, Morgan could only accept this setting.
...
...
In the center of the town, Sean let Conte and Henry continue to complete their work, while Sean took Sophia and Morgan back to the castle, preparing to take a short rest and talk about the magic crystal mine.
After all, Sean was really beaten up by the crystal dragon in the past half hour.
At the gate of the castle, Sean handed the Blood Swamp Raptor to the guards of the castle and asked the guards to donate fresh flesh and blood to the Blood Swamp Raptor.
Sean himself took Sophia and Morgan into the castle.
Chapter completed!
