Lord of Plenty

"Not only can fish be raised in the pond, but also those wasabi seedlings can be planted around it."

"Yeah, yeah, that's right."

Old Tate nodded with a smile on his face. In fact, let alone Kun saying that he wanted to raise fish in the pond, even if it was to raise Nagas, Old Tate would probably not object.

Raising fish?

Unlike the Blue Armored Bear King who was secretly drooling, 'Leon' looked disdainful. He had never heard of any lord raising fish.

A lord who raises fish is also unique in this continent.

But with those skinny people who can't even get enough food, they still raise fish. I'm afraid they are just feeding the fish.

On the first day of work, 'Leon', who was away from the Emerald Heart, obviously did not have a clear understanding of the territory under her feet. She took what she saw and heard in other noble territories and applied it to the Rich Territory, but it couldn't be said that this was her fault.

After all, there has never been an abnormal lord like Kun in this world.

‘Leon’ thought that Old Tate’s nod was just to flatter his master Kun, but he didn’t know that even if Old Tate was replaced by any resident of the Rich Territory, they would only agree with Kun’s idea 100% and implement it thoroughly.

Raising fish?

Are you crazy? Who raises those dangerous things?

The Lord asked you to raise them? Oh, that’s fine, how to raise them, take me with you.

‘Leon’ still doesn’t understand what a Lord, who is ranked second in the hearts of the people even in the belief of the six gods, represents.

After working for a whole morning, a huge pond with a length of 200 meters and a depth of 30 meters appeared in front of everyone. The Blue Armored Bear manipulated the earth element to reinforce the bottom and wall of the pond. After all, the purpose is to accumulate water, so it must be stronger.

“It’s time to eat.”

‘Leon’s stomach was already rumbling with hunger, looking at the lunch box he got and nodded with satisfaction.

There were vegetables and meat. Although that abominable guy was shameless and immoral, he at least had some attitude towards a noble 'guest'.

However, when 'Leon' noticed that the lunch box of the worker next to her not only had a lot more vegetables than hers, but also had a big chicken leg, she was petrified.

"Hey, big guy, this is the reward given to you by the lord for your hard work."

How could he not work hard? The terrible devil was standing next to it and staring at it. It didn't want to be stripped of its bear skin and made into a carpet for people to step on.

The Blue Armored Bear King took a curious look at the opened pottery jar, which contained some yellow and sticky strange liquid. He instinctively dug out a claw and put it in his mouth.

"......?!"

"Ah~"

It is my honor to work for the great High-skulled Demon Lord.

Leon, the only one who could understand the spineless bear, was so angry that he almost smeared the lunch box on the bear's face. A chicken leg, no, a can of honey bought you, but where's your face?

In the afternoon, the blue-armored bear, like a chicken blood, dug two ponds in a row, the same as in the morning. When work was over in the evening, old Tate's sharp eyes kept swaying on the faces of the thick-skinned bear and the thin-skinned golden egg goose.

With a hot face, Leon wanted to curse, you stupid bear, you can be lazy if you want to be lazy, and no one knows. Now everyone knows that you were lazy in the morning, how can you still have a good result?

What Leon didn't expect was that although old Tate's eyes were unkind, the comment he wrote on the work order was "excellent", and he also settled the wages of thirty copper coins for her and the blue-armored bear.

No need to go back to the dungeon?

When Leon got the work order, she was very proud. As long as she was not locked up, she would be satisfied.

As for the thirty copper coins, the wages were temporarily replaced by strange paper issued by Fengrao Territory. As a member of the richest Golden Family in the entire Dansu Kingdom, Leon didn't take it seriously at all.

Until she knew that the money could be exchanged for chicken legs in the workers' canteen in Fengrao Territory.

"One copper coin can be exchanged for two chicken legs? Ahem, I mean the prices here are a bit too weird."

Found that she was a little too excited, Leon quickly restrained the exaggerated expression on her face, but the unnatural rolling throat exposed her true thoughts.

A villager who was responsible for cleaning up the big stones dug out by the blue-armored bear smiled and said:

"Many good things in the territory can only be purchased with the coins issued to us by the lord, not the coins of the kingdom. Oh, by the way, this is called internal preferential price."

Internal preferential price?

Chewing on this strange but very meaningful unfamiliar term, Leon, who was born in the Golden Family, keenly smelled a hint of wealth and something wrong.

What is that guy going to do?

Break away from the existing currency system of the kingdom and establish your own currency system?

If you can't do it, it's fine. If you do, it will be enough to shake the ruling foundation of the Dansu Kingdom. Even if you are a saint, this ambition is a bit too big.

"Mammy, bear bear~"

A little girl held in the arms of a woman pointed at the Blue Armor Bear King and spoke incoherently.

The woman who understood the child's meaning smiled and handed a piece of black bread in her basket to the mouth of the Blue Armor Bear King. The Blue Armor Bear also accepted it and swallowed the black bread that was not enough to fill the gap between his teeth with a roll of his tongue.

"Touch~"

The Blue Armor Bear King obediently lay on the ground, exposing the soft part of his abdomen, allowing the little girl to crawl on his belly.

Life is not easy, bear bears perform for money.

It would be better if the bread was bigger, baji, baji.

‘Leon’ had a stern face, but he was used to it.

A blue-armored bear king, who was considered a local overlord even in the outskirts of the Ever Dark Forest, was not bound by the beastmaster contract, but was more docile than a sheep.

God, am I crazy, or is this world crazy?

After walking for a while, she could see the Jade Heart Farm from a distance. A trace of surprise flashed in ‘Leon’s’ eyes. When she really stepped into the village gate, she couldn’t help rubbing her eyes.

Where is this?

Did she really come here more than half a month ago?

The ground was clean and tidy, and it was obviously flattened by earth magic. The main street that could accommodate three carriages running in parallel stretched to the end of the field of vision, a small black three-story castle.

On both sides of the street were commercial streets built with bricks and stones and high-quality fir wood, blacksmith shops, clothing shops, pharmacy shops, department stores...

What is a department store?

There are many buildings under construction, which can show the huge ambition of the lord here.

This is not just a simple building. As an elegant and tasteful nobleman, Leon can see at a glance that these houses have incorporated considerable artistic elements. By then, this will be a very beautiful town.

What shocked Leon the most was the cleanliness here. It should be dirty and messy, and even difficult to walk in the countryside, there should be feces and livestock everywhere, but the cleanliness here is even close to the earl's private garden.

She dared to guarantee in the name of the goddess of the sky that she had never been to such a clean countryside, well, not even in the city.

After all, even in the noble area of ​​the royal capital, you can still see some unclean things in the corners, even sputum and private belongings everywhere.

But here, Leon seriously suspected that any resident here would be cleaner than those so-called nobles.

Until Leon's co-workers pulled her to a room with the words "Public Bathhouse of Fengrao Territory", this reasonable suspicion had reached its peak.

"Go wash up quickly. People covered in mud are not allowed to enter the cafeteria. Oh, don't worry, it's free here. Anyone who works for the lord can use it for free. Let's go?"

"..."

'Leon' looked at the entrance curtain with the big word 'male' written on it, and then looked at the entrance with the word 'female' next to it, and fell into the biggest decision of his life.

Because of a rare magic prop, outsiders think she looks like her third brother 'Leon', but that's just an illusion. In fact, she is still a woman.

With her current appearance, she might be beaten out if she goes to the other side, but she can't enter the men's bathhouse...

After hesitating for a long time, 'Leon' pulled off a cufflink hidden in the inner clothes. The diamond-shaped cufflink is red and yellow, with the luster of gems, and there is a complex magic circuit inside.

If Kun was here, he would probably recognize at a glance that this should be a precious magic prop handed down from the ancient elven dynasty.

Without the cover of magic, a beautiful girl with long hair like a waterfall appeared in front of everyone. She looked at everyone who was stunned, raised her head, and walked into the door of the women's bathhouse proudly like a proud big white goose.

After a full hour, Betty, who just came out again, put her cuffs back on. She was known as the Golden Swan, the most beautiful noble in the southern part of the Dansu Kingdom.

What if that damn Alan saw her and had some dirty thoughts again? She couldn't resist now.

Bah, shameless guy.

I don't know if she thought of some inappropriate scenes for children, but a suspicious blush appeared on Betty's face.

At this time, the Blue Armor Bear King was also cleaned up by the staff of the bathhouse. After all, the bathhouse supervisor was a water magic apprentice. Helping the huge Blue Armor Bear King clean every part of his body from inside to outside was the daily homework left by Master Melward for this apprentice.

Not to mention, after this period of "high-intensity magic training", the bathhouse manager suddenly found that the magic bottleneck that had troubled him for several years was about to break through.

The current bathhouse manager has gone from resisting this job with all his body to devoting himself to it, and is no longer satisfied with the huge and strong body of the Blue Armored Bear King, but has set his sights on everyone who enters the bathhouse.

In fact, many residents have reported to Vittorio, who is temporarily serving as the sheriff, that the bathhouse manager's eyes are too hungry, which is simply terrifying, and they strongly demanded that a bathhouse manager be replaced.

The enthusiastic workers waited for a long time, and finally waited for Betty to come out, and took her to the public canteen of Fengrao Territory.

"One copper coin for two chicken legs, one copper coin can buy a lunch box for lunch, and three copper coins can even buy a small piece of cake?"

Betty, with a strange look on her face, took a fancy to the strange pastry dotted with red fruits at first sight, and her intuition told her that this must be delicious.

"I want this, this, and this."

Holding the "huge sum" of thirty copper coins, Betty was not polite and ordered three pieces of strawberry cake at three copper coins each.

One piece was kept for herself, one was given to a co-worker who helped her a lot, and one was fed to the Blue Armor Bear King. After all...

Twenty-seven of the thirty copper coins were earned by the Blue Armor Bear's hard work, and she was embarrassed to eat alone.

"Wow, this is delicious, even better than what my pastry chef makes."

The worker who was eating strawberry cake for the first time also had a happy expression on his face, completely immersed in the silky and sweet taste.

What is this taste?

The taste of happiness?

No, this is the taste of the kingdom of God promised by the goddess to the most devout believers!

"Is this your first time eating dessert?"

Betty felt a little strange. This thing is not expensive. According to the money the other party earned today, it is more than enough to buy a piece to try.

The simple worker said as a matter of course:

"Who would buy such an expensive thing to eat? This is not a copper coin from the kingdom, but a copper coin from the Rich Territory. Here, one copper coin can be exchanged for a large bag of fine salt, or enough food for a family of three for a day. Three copper coins are only a small piece, and it's gone in two bites. It's too luxurious."

Betty couldn't help but be a little speechless, and vaguely remembered that the person sitting opposite was just a lowly peasant.

Normally, such a person would never be able to eat at the same table with a great noble like her even if he had a lifetime.

Likewise, it was impossible for her to taste food that even she thought was delicious.

Suddenly, Betty felt that the cake in her hand didn't taste as good as before, so she was silent.
