After Ethan dealt with Robert's affairs, he returned to the captain's room alone, made a cup of coffee, found a comfortable position, and leaned on the chair.

Looking out the window, the wind and snow were raging, the sky and the earth were pale, and my mood was flying.

With such heavy snow and such a cold day, there should be no more attacks!

Thinking of this, he gradually turned his eyes from the window to the map on the table, and planned how to develop the territory in the future.

At this time, Angelina pushed the door and walked in.

Seeing Ethan sitting at the desk in high spirits, he looked unbelievable.

"Ethan, you're fine!"

As he said, he threw himself on Ethan.

Ethan caught Angelina, holding her little face and smiled.

"Well! I'm fine! You've worked hard these days!"

"Why say these things, it's all my job! But it's really amazing, you woke up only one day, how come new skin grows all over your body?"

"Is this scary?" Ethan asked with a smile.

"No!" Angelina's face was full of joy: "As long as you are fine, it doesn't matter what you look like!"

"Haha!" Ethan laughed: "If I become ugly, it doesn't matter?"

"You don't mind my past, why should I care about your ugliness? If you are really good to me, I can also risk my life to accompany you!"

Angelina spoke casually, but her eyes were firm.

Ethan was touched.

Angelina is very suitable for him in all aspects. She is not so strong and always goes along with him.

This is especially good in the experience of sex life. Most people will never experience this kind of life in their lifetime!

And the other party really cares about him.

These days, due to internal injuries, he can't take care of himself.

If Angelina hadn't put down her airs as a rich lady and personally took care of his excrement and urine, Ethan didn't dare to think about what he would become.

"Okay! Don't say anything about risking your life."

Ethan gently pinched Angelina's face: "Now that we have eliminated an enemy, there will probably be no more danger for the time being.

Maybe we can live a peaceful life in the future."

"Yeah!" Angelina nodded obediently: "You have just recovered, don't worry too much, let me do anything."

Ethan shook his head: "There is nothing to do, I am just thinking about how to build the territory in the future."

"Have you thought about it?" Angelina asked.

"I want to build a castle here first, first to defend against possible enemies, and secondly, we don't have to live on the ship."

Ethan expressed his thoughts and looked at Angelina earnestly, wanting to hear her opinion.

Angelina was surprised when she heard this: "You want to build a castle?"

"That's what I think. But judging from your expression...is there something wrong?"

"Of course there is a problem!" Angelina sat up straight and said seriously: "You can't build a castle just because you want to.

Ethan, do you know how long it takes to build a castle?"

"Does it take a long time?"

"Of course!" Angelina nodded: "I may not know about other things, but let's take our Lawson family's castle as an example.

It took us about 30 years to complete it when we had sufficient funds, manpower, and material resources.

But here there are no people, no money, and no materials. It's impossible to build a castle.

Not to mention the castle, even the manor you saw in Maro City took us nearly six years when all conditions were ripe."

Ethan was a little dumbfounded.

He had always thought that a castle would take at most one or two years, but he didn't expect it to take decades. It would take one or two generations and their entire lives to build it?

What the hell is it!

"What do you think?

We may have to stay here for a long time. If there is no comfortable environment, how can we bear it?

We can't build a temporary station after the spring!"

Angelina spread her hands: "I don't know what to do either.

But I have two suggestions.

First, if you really want to build a castle here, the first thing we should do is not to plan the castle, but to find a way to make money.

The family can't provide any funds for us to build the castle. Everything depends on ourselves.

Only when we make money ourselves can we hire professionals to help us build it. After all, you and I don't understand these.

Second, Ethan, do you really want to stay here forever?

Even if we build this place well, it can't change the fact that there is no one here."

After hearing this, Ethan leaned back in his chair, stroking his forehead, and was a little speechless.

When he first came here, he just wanted to escape Rand's pursuit, and at the same time he had a glimmer of fantasy, hoping to make a big splash in the new territory and build his own home.

But the reality is cruel. As Angelina said, this place is deserted and there is no trace of fireworks. Even if a castle is built here, it is meaningless.

And now he has the strength of a master, and he is not afraid of Rand's pursuit.

To be precise, Rand is not worth mentioning at all.

Thinking of this, Ethan made a decision. He wanted to go back and take back his own territory.

Whoever wants this broken corner can take it.

But the problem is that if there is no support from the Lawson family, there is no way to go back.

If you go back unclearly, you will not face Rand, but the anger of the entire Lawson family.

The most important thing is that once a person loses his credibility, he will have no way to gain a foothold in society!

This is especially true in this aristocratic society with strict hierarchy.

"Angelina, do you have a way for us to go back legitimately?

You know, Rand robbed my territory. It is a fertile land with thousands of hectares of fertile fields, hundreds of people, and a large manor.

As long as we take it back, we don't have to blow the northwest wind here."

Angelina thought for a while: "It's relatively easy to go back, but it may be difficult to take back the territory."

"What do you mean?"

"We are stationed here to protect this place. There is no rule that we can't leave.

It's just that we must ensure the safety here.

At the same time, we must live here for a month every year, so that we can complete our mission. Right!"

Ethan stroked his forehead and smiled bitterly: "You are right! But if I leave, how can I guarantee that this place is safe? Sophia will never agree to let me leave."

"Why do I need my sister to agree?" Angelina opened her eyes wide: "For the family, they just want it to be safe here.

As long as the safety here is guaranteed, we can leave at any time.

Ethan, you seem to want to rely on yourself for everything. Don't others deserve your trust?"

When Ethan heard it, it was like a revelation.

Yes! Why do you always want to rely on yourself!

I used to say that Angelina always wanted to rely on others, but I was the opposite of her. I wanted to rely on myself for everything. This was just another extreme.

Perhaps the long-term loneliness made me distrust anyone.

But the fact is, how can people live in this world and do everything by themselves?

And I am now a lord. Although I am alone, a lord is a lord. There are countless things to do in the territory. It is impossible to rely on myself alone, and the same is true for defending the territory.

For now, the Lawson family just wants to keep this territory. As long as it is safe, it doesn’t matter what means are used.

In this case, it’s fine as long as we can support dozens of knights here.

Let’s learn about the first-hand landlord becoming a second-hand landlord.

Then the key question is, where can we find knights willing to come here, and where can we find money to support them?

Ethan fell into deep thought. At this time, he looked at the bracelet on his hand and suddenly had an idea.
