On the last day of August, Suldak did not go to the Mukuso City Hall, but stayed in the castle.

After Hathaway and Beatrice have tidied up the castle in Ruit City in recent days, it has gotten rid of the desolate and almost semi-abandoned state. Under the careful care of the maids and gardeners, it has become again.

It has become the pearl of Ruit City.

The swimming pool in the back garden was refilled with clean water. The entire swimming pool looked like a sapphire under the sunlight, and the cyan rocks at the bottom of the pool were clearly visible.

Beatrice especially liked the back garden of the castle. This platform suspended in mid-air, which was larger than a football field, became green and lush. The gardeners removed all the grass that had grown up, and the green grass that stuck to the ground was removed.

Neatly manicured, it looks like a huge green carpet on the platform.

There are twelve towering ancient trees growing on the east and west sides of the large platform in the back garden. It is the well-developed roots of these twelve huge ancient trees that firmly support the entire platform on the top of the mountain. From a distance, the large platform extending from the back of the castle

, as if suspended in mid-air on the top of the mountain.

Hathaway and Hathaway were packing Suldak's change of clothes in the room. The bedroom window was open, and the wind from the top of the mountain blew the curtains out of the window. Standing on the terrace, Hathaway could see the swimming pool in the back garden.

of Surdak.

Surdak lay by the pool and looked at Siya swimming in the pool.

The water splashed, and with her long wet algae-green hair, Siya suddenly emerged from the water. The clear water in the pool spread to Surdak's feet. She put her snow-white arms on the edge of the pool and raised her head to face Surdak.

Dak begged: "Suldak, can you take me with you when you go to the battlefield this time?"

Surdak picked up a glass of ale from the small square table and motioned to Thea to add some ice cubes to it.

Thea patiently condensed a few pieces of ice and threw them into his cup.

Surdak took a long sip with great pleasure, and then said to Siya: "You are not a second-level expert. Even if you want to go to the big battlefield, this pass may not be able to take you with you."

Thea rolled her eyes, jumped into the pool, and swam along the pool again.

Surdak lay on the wicker chair and said to her:

"Thea, aren't you doing business with the noble ladies of Bena City? Don't you plan to continue doing this business?"

"Of course I want to! But I'm in Ruit City now, what can I do?" Siya turned out from the bottom of the water again, the tip of her nose and hair dripping down to the bottom of the water quickly, and her big blue eyes were like pool water.

clear.

"I guess it won't be long before the noble ladies of Bena City find that they can't find a substitute and will look for Hathaway and Beatrice again. They will write letters and send people to visit you. When the time comes, your business opportunities will

It’s coming!” Surdak pointed to Siya.

Thea's eyes became brighter, her upper body almost stuck out of the water, and a fish tail kept swinging in the pool.

Siya said with a longing face:

"As long as I can make money, I will build a larger swimming pool here, transform the large platform in the back garden into a large lake hanging on the top of the mountain, and then rescue all the Janna people in the slave market. Then I will be there.

Settled them”

"After you rescued them, didn't you buy a magic airship ticket to Qiyan Harbor and give it to them?" Surdak asked a little strangely.

Unexpectedly, Siya's eyes widened and she shouted: "That won't work. They have to work for me. At least they have to help me earn back the money to redeem them before I let them go."

"What's the difference between you and other slave owners?" Surdak said with a smile.

Thea said confidently: "Of course there is, at least they can regain their freedom by realizing their own self-worth, and I will not let them do things that are unacceptable to them. The slave owners will be required to work until they die."

"Well, I hope your dream can come true soon." Suldak waved his hand feebly and said.

Hathaway and Beatrice walked in front, and the servant behind carried a wooden box into the back garden.

"Beatrice, how have you been at the city hall these days?" Suldak asked the round-faced Beatrice sitting next to him, putting a hand on her soft waist.

superior.

Beatrice said with a depressed look:

"In fact, it's not that great. Those numbers in the Finance Department make my head explode."

Suldak reached out and pinched her baby-fat cheeks, and enlightened her:

"You have to let professionals do professional things. You only need to ask them to tell you how much money is in the city's treasury, where they usually spend the money, and how much the monthly taxes are. If you can understand Lu

What is the biggest industry in It City? It couldn't be better."

Suldak asked Hathaway again:

"Hathaway, how's the job at the Territory Administration going?"

Hathaway smiled softly and said:

"Everything is okay. I found that almost all the land around Ruit City is in the hands of several big lords in Ruit City, including us."

She leaned on Suldak's shoulder and said:

"We hold a large amount of land that Lord MacDonnell once owned, so most of the civilians around Ruit City need to rent land. The Battle of Talapagan happened to break out this year, and all the civilians are living in a very tight life."

Surdak asked: "So what can you do about this?"

Hathaway rolled her green eyes and asked tentatively: "How about the land we rent out this year is rent-free, making the living burden of the common people a little lighter?"

Suldak lowered his head and thought seriously for a moment, then said:

"This is a great idea, but if you want to promote rent-free benefits to the common people, you can't do it yourself. You have to involve other nobles. Otherwise, you are the most typical person who does good deeds and still suffers from others.

Jealousy, in fact, there is no need to reduce the entire land lease fee. Some noble lords rely entirely on this to make a living. If the lease fee is halved, and with the help of Earl Clay Cushing, it should be possible to implement it."

Hathaway blinked and said: "Dak, what you said is similar to that of Count Clay Cushing, but Count Clay Cushing is not as straightforward as you."

Several people were chatting by the swimming pool, hiding in the shade of the towering trees. The view in the distance was extremely wide, as if all the rolling mountains were under their feet.

The butler walked to the back garden and reported to Suldak: "Your Majesty, your three entourages are waiting in the front hall!"

Suldak couldn't even remember his name. When he heard Gulitm, Andrew and Samira coming, he quickly stood up from the wicker chair and said to Hathaway and Beatrice:

"Okay, it's time for me to leave. I'm sorry for leaving you here. I'll bring you gifts when I come back."

Hathaway and Beatrice stood up and walked up to Suldak for a kiss.

And Siya can only plunge into the swimming pool

"Thea, why don't you come out to pick me up and say goodbye?"

Before leaving, Surdak did not forget to make fun of this naga mermaid.

"You don't want to take me with you"

Thea hid in the water and muttered.

It's hard to imagine how she pronounced it in the water.

Suldak walked to the front hall and saw three of his men sitting together very leisurely. He walked forward and patted Andrew's generous shoulder very casually and asked:

"Andrew, how is your family doing in Wozhimara City?"

Andrew laughed happily, gestured with his hands on his waist and said:

"My youngest son has grown so tall. In addition, the patriarch thought that I could support more women, so he sent seven more young girls to my family. So, boss, this time I went home to visit relatives and I married seven wives at once.

.hey-hey!"

""

Suldak was speechless.

In terms of number of wives, Andrew wins.

After a pause, Surdak asked:

"Aren't you an aboriginal living in Wozhimala City? Aren't your tribes assimilated by this city long ago?"

Andrew answered calmly: "You are right, my tribe was assimilated by the city of Wozhimara. Although we lived in the slums of the city, my tribe has always been there!"

"The last time the hell demons attacked Wozhimara City, many of the city defenders who died were our indigenous people. The elders want to maintain the tribe, and every family is under great pressure."

"So I arranged seven more wives for you in one fell swoop?" Surdak asked speechlessly.

Andrew scratched his head and just smiled proudly.

"hey-hey."

Surdak turned around and asked Samira, who was sitting alone on the sofa:

"How do you feel about this trip to Dodan Town?"

Samira's eyes left her fingers, and then she raised her head and glanced at Suldak indifferently.

"Xigna was clamoring to come over. She specifically asked me to ask you in person if you don't want them anymore?" Samira said calmly.

""

This time, Surdak was speechless again.

He paused for a moment and then whispered:

"how come!"

Samira changed her position, raised her long legs wrapped in tight leather armor, and sat to the side.

The two-headed ogre Gulitem came up and said, "Boss, don't tell me that the journey from Bena City to Ruit City is really great!"
