Becoming a lord in another world starts with farming

"It seems that in addition to a sum of funds, you also need some thugs who do underworld work so that you can speed up development." Owen understood what Maya meant, because she also proposed a backup plan, which was to bribe the local gangs.

But bribery is risky. After all, someone can sacrifice his life for you or someone else, it all depends on who offers more benefits.

"No, I suggest that Knight Howard go to the town to buy the farm from Emile, completely cover up the traces of the Northland Witch Union, and then acquire and reorganize those fragmented industries in the name of Knight Howard. As for the gang, it is just the outermost part of the organization. , used to solve a little trouble, and can be discarded at any time.”

Maya's words made Owen understand the gap in vision between the two parties, but he had long been used to it, otherwise why would he leave the territory and the Witch Alliance to her.

Without further ado, Owen called Howard over and asked Maya to talk about the matter.

After hearing this, Howard agreed without much thought, because it was not difficult for him. Many of his colleagues were buying properties in border towns.

In fact, if he hadn't met Curranth, Howard would have chosen a place to buy a property so that he could leave it to his son in the future, so it really wasn't that difficult.

However, as Maya told the story, Howard's expression began to become serious, and he considered which areas needed attention and which areas needed to rely on previous connections.

Howard didn't think there was anything wrong with Owen's plan to build an intelligence network on the border of the empire. Even if he was asked to lead troops to attack Ferrier town, he would agree without hesitation, because the emperor's ministers are not the emperor's ministers.

Since arriving in the territory, Howard's allegiance has been to Owen, not the emperor, nor the empire, so not only did he not hesitate about this matter, but he felt that he was being valued and became more attentive.

After leaving the patrolling of the territory to Hogg, Howard put on a decent suit of armor, rode a horse, took three to five servants and ten swordsmen, and came to Emile's farm through the Floo network to pick him up. Irving doesn't need to worry about what happened next.

Maya took care of things, but Owen didn't have nothing to do.

Although Maya has strong abilities, she does not cheat. Therefore, when faced with some difficult problems, she either avoids the difficulties or thinks of other ways, because the problem cannot be solved head-on.

But Owen is different. He cheats. The problems that Maya can't solve are not the same for him. This is why he doesn't worry about being sidelined even though he delegates power now.

In the early days, I was flustered and short of breath, and I was afraid of Maya all day long. That was because I lacked confidence.

If a man who is a gatekeeper in a community with a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan has a woman who is an executive in a foreign company, it is normal for her to be arrogant and suspicious, because money is not matched, power is not matched, and it is impossible to talk about being angry.

Now that the territory is developing better and better, and Maya has more and more rights, Owen is not so worried. It is precisely because he has finally found his own position. He is irreplaceable. Dale's ancestral medicine pestle Will not work.

When you are confident enough, you will naturally stop thinking wildly.

Feeling at ease and blaming Maya for everything, Owen went to the secret room of the dungeon and began to study how to play the role of those adult witches.

Although the system is good, the progress value is always stuck, making it difficult for Owen to enjoy himself. In order to maximize the value of the progress value, he has been making various attempts, and Ciel is the most successful example.

From a maid who knew some fighting skills to a fierce woman who could face powerful enemies even if the Teutonic warriors were there, she spent very little progress, and her potential was more than that.

It's a pity that there is only one Ciel, and it would be difficult to copy it. Otherwise, Owen would really dare to venture into the empire.

Although it was difficult, Owen still chose to continue research, and those witches were the best targets.

"The opportunity to change your destiny is right in front of you. Whether you are willing or not depends on your decision." Owen came to Green Shade Town and called together the witches who had taken on a new look but were still ugly.

Before, these witches would have just remained silent, but after living in the green town for this period of time, they were completely unable to abandon everything they had now and return to the farm.

So they looked at each other and took the witch oath together, which was the only bargaining chip they could give now.

The witch's oath is an alternative kind of curse, which curses oneself with its own magic power. Therefore, not only is the binding force beyond the limit, but it cannot be lifted on its own. Therefore, no witch will take the witch's oath unless absolutely necessary.

But for these witches, this is the only bargaining chip they can use now. They are still afraid that Owen will look down on them, because they have neither beauty nor strength, and even they themselves don’t know what else can be attracted to them. Fancy it.

"You will find out what a right choice you made." Owen said with some profound meaning, because he already had a lot of ideas about these witches.

Choose the oldest witch and go to the dungeon secret room in the castle through the Floo network.

"Go in." Owen pointed at the synthesis furnace and said to the witch.

Because the secret room in the dungeon did not appear gloomy or smelly, but instead seemed a bit warm, the witch was not too nervous and walked into the strange small room obediently.

The synthesis furnace was now being used by Owen for on-site NMR, and with the knowledge about witches he obtained from Emile, he had initially figured out some of the witch's problems.

Regardless of whether a warlock with a dominant bloodline or a witch with a hidden bloodline, magic power will be generated independently after reaching a certain age. Just like the endocrine changes in adolescence, it is an inevitable stage of physical growth.

It's just that the magic power of the warlock is more active. Even without any training, it can be released in an emotional state, so there is not much pressure, just like regular hand flushing is helpful for healthy growth.

But witches can't. Their magic is more restrained. Even after learning, they still need a medium to cast spells better. Simply put, relying on their hands is useless.

It's okay if there are qualified witches, and they have someone to teach them, but wild witches who have no one to teach them can only resign themselves to their fate and allow the magic power generated in the body to accumulate, which will then oppress the body and spirit, causing the mood to become worse and become... It’s easier to go to extremes.

This emotion will also affect the magic power and indirectly cause distortion to oneself. This is also the reason why most wild witches are ugly and have physical defects.

And this distortion is irreversible. After all, it is distorted during the growth period. Once the adult body is finalized, it will definitely not be reversed.

Witches are also helpless about this. After all, this kind of situation is not only encountered by untutored wild witches. In many cases, a violent mood swing in adolescence will affect the body of a witch, and this adds to the tension and resentment, causing many girls to Witches all have physical defects.

For example, Emile has no missing limbs or twisted body. The problem is that her body shape is not without problems, so the witch invented a lot of potions and magic.

Unfortunately, most of the recovery effects are temporary. There are only a few permanent methods, and the price is not something that ordinary witches can afford.
