"Oh my! Manid, you are here. That's great. My God of Wealth, do you have any good ideas to make money?"

Different from his previous shabby appearance, although Manide is now dressed simply and ordinary, he is clean and tidy and in good spirits.

When the two met again, they hugged each other like brothers, which was a great honor for Manid, who was just a commoner.

Look at this humble baron, this kind-hearted and enthusiastic handsome guy.

At this moment, Manide felt that he had found a boss whom he could follow for the rest of his life, so he changed his words and said:

"Master, I have a lot of ideas, but they come with high returns and high risks. I need to know how much money you want to make."

A special character, the merchant Manid, joins your army.

Current friendship: 50

Reward: Charisma +1.

Comment: You didn't obtain Manide through system tasks, but through your own personal charm, which is great.

According to his usual personality and temper, De Lassel would definitely brag to the system for a while.

But there are more important things to deal with right now, and there is no time to waste on bickering and arguing.

"Manid, I will build a watchtower and a training ground in Uxhall and its two subordinate villages.

I need 6,000 dinars in total, and of course I have to recruit new soldiers, which will cost me 7,000 dinars.”

“How long do you plan to spend to earn this money?”

Drassel smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Why are you asking that? Of course the sooner the better."

"As long as you dare to go to the village of Amashiko in the Khergit Khanate again, I promise to help you earn more than 10,000 dinars."

Hearing this, De Lassel couldn't help but feel a little confused. Are you kid going to cheat me

"Why, there's a money tree there?"

"You are joking. There is no money tree there. Go and bring back some grape seeds from there.

I can help you build a complete grape business chain. I believe that with this grape, I can earn more than 10,000 dinars for you!"

Manid has the two skills of "Trading 5" and "Eloquence 3", so De Lassel is willing to believe what he says.

"Well, I have to think about it. The lord of the village of Amaxico, Nayan Tulugo, is my mortal enemy."

Just as the two were chatting about this, Safiya, Owens and others also got up and came to join in the fun.

"Drasel, what's there to think about? Just go! Why should we be afraid of that old uncle without a nose?"

"Oh my, my lovely Miss Safiya, please stop making trouble. His army has dozens of people, and they are all regular soldiers!"

De Lassel did not make a decision immediately. He won the last time with the help of jackal meat and dragon egg Viseraine.

This time the dragon egg has wilted, and without the bonus of jackal meat, it may not be able to win.

De Lassel still remembers vividly the desperate fight with Nayan Tuluge.

"Let me think about it, Owens. Take Manid to get familiar with this place and arrange a spacious bedroom for him."

Owens nodded respectfully, "As you command, my lord."

"Hmph, boring... Awang, accompany me to practice archery!"

"I'm not going, I... ahhh, it hurts!"

Before he could finish his words, Safiya ruthlessly pulled Awang's ears. He screamed in pain and walked outside.

Watching them leave, De La Serre smiled happily and said to himself:

"I have met some really good companions..."

It was already April 1257, a beautiful April day in the world.

De Lassel walked towards the back garden of the Lord's Hall, which was the most scenic place in Uxhall.

He stood there quietly, enjoying the gentleness brought by the current weather.

"It's really beautiful, really comfortable..." He let out a long sigh of relief.

The warm breeze blows on your face, the peach blossoms and willows are green, and the dense ivy on the fortress and city walls is full of green and proud.

In the face of the new opportunity before him, De La Serre chose to put aside trivial matters for the time being.

He took time out of his busy schedule to listen to the joy of their initial growth.

He suddenly felt relaxed and happy, and after a long while he thought silently:

Perhaps they have peeked into my vicissitudes of life in the past.

They have also recorded my haggard face, but they have all accompanied me and witnessed my bumpy journey through the spring scenery.

Now, looking back, walking through the village of Amaxico again and beating up Yantulugo again might be a good option.

New Mission

Go to the village of Amashiko in the Khergit Khanate and get the grape seeds.

Comment: You must go, but this time, something unexpected will happen and the secret cannot be revealed.

I am too lazy to work

If I ask you what secret you can't reveal, you will definitely say "Please just continue playing the game."

Reward: Wisdom +1.

Comment: Well, your brain worked very quickly this time, I reward you.

A warm current hits...

Uh-huh, you're pretty nice to me today, thank you~

De La Serre was just about to go and pack his bags and set off for the village of Amaxico the next day.

When he turned around, he found his mother Bena not far away, looking at him with kind eyes.

Yes, I haven’t seen my real parents for a long time. Maybe the beautiful scenery just now made me miss home...

"Mother, do you have anything to ask me?"

"Son, today is April 4th, it's your birthday. Happy birthday, I love you."

Oh, this is such a surprise. I didn’t expect that “my” and “Delassel”’s birthdays are on the same day!

"Thank you, my mother."

Although De La Salle is strong and tall.

But when he snuggles on his mother's shoulder, he still acts like a little child.

"I've prepared a birthday party for you tonight, with all your favorite dishes. There's one more thing.

Son, after today you will be 25 years old, and if you are still single, I think Safiya is a good choice..."

"Hey, hey, hey, let's talk about this later. Mother, please don't worry about me."

Mother Bena frowned and asked in a low voice:

"Are you looking for a political marriage with the nobles in the kingdom?"

This reminded De La Serre that in this era where the strong prey on the weak and strength is king,

Too many people, in order to keep each other warm, have formed stronger private teams through political marriages.

In this way, even if King Harlaus of Swadia was dissatisfied with a lord, he would be wary of his entire family.

They would not easily take action against a certain lord. After all, the possibility of causing a mass mutiny and rebellion should not be underestimated.

"Mother, I haven't thought about it that much yet. Let's talk about it later."

Seeing that De Lassel's face was clouded and seemed to be worried, his mother Bena stopped talking.

Comment: Eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, you must like smoking Huang as much as I do.

If you don't speak, you will die! When I was almost killed by the prairie jackal king a few days ago, why didn't you come out to talk

De La Serre angrily retorted to the system.
