Chapter 162: Ming Xiu Plank Road
"Mr. Jenn, you're going to build an orphanage?"
Hearing Jenn's answer, Daily asked in disbelief. No wonder she was so skeptical, after all, she had been with this Mr. Jenn for a while, at least from Deli's point of view, Jenn didn't seem to be someone who would care about such a trivial matter. Now he suddenly said that he was going to buy this monastery and build it into an orphanage, which really scared Deli. Soon, though, Jenn answered the question in her mind.
"Actually, it's not that I want to build, in fact, that's what Mrs. Black meant. She wanted to be able to do more for people for the rest of her life, and I was just a helper. ”
"Ah.........h
Hearing this, Dai Li seemed to understand something, looked at Ligia beside her with a complicated face, and then nodded to her. Liguia's background Deli also knows, to be honest, purely from the perspective of a noble lady, Deli is also quite sympathetic to Liguia's plight, after all, with Liguia's current identity, it is unlikely that she wants to marry other nobles again, and even with the silver mine provided by the Pawood family, the Black family will not be able to eat for a lifetime. Now it seems that this Lady Black is still a very kind person, and the construction of an orphanage to take in those orphans is rare among the nobility, but there are still some troubles. Now it seems that this Mrs. Black has a long life ahead of her, and it is clear that she intends to spend the rest of her life in this way.
"That's right."
At this moment, Lycia also opened her mouth to continue with Jenn's words.
"You may not be able to understand my feelings, Miss Delly. I'm the only one left in the Black family. To be honest, I don't want to live like this. If you can. I want to do my part to do something for everyone. For me. Caring for children who are homeless is a rewarding thing. ”
Deli sighed inwardly, she couldn't say anything more about Lygia's choice, and she thought it was a good choice. She had also seen aristocratic widows who had lost their husbands, who were either living a dull life in the convent or indulging in aristocratic pleasures, and Ligia's choices were more positive than them.
Thinking of this, Dai Li also quickly came back to her senses and smiled at Likia with a friendly smile.
"I see. Mrs. Black, to be honest, as a woman, I admire your choice. But I must warn you that this is not an easy task, and the location of the Sacred Verse Monastery is too remote for the power of the Pawood family to cover here. If you encounter any wild beasts or bandits, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome. And as you can see, half of the buildings here have collapsed. It also costs a lot of money to repair and build............"
"I'll pay for it, don't worry, Miss Delly."
Hearing this, Jenn took over the conversation again.
"As for preparedness. I'll mobilize my knights to protect me, and at least I'll have no problem dealing with the bandits and beasts who are waiting for me. ”
"That's fine............"
Hearing Jenn's answer, Dali was speechless. She had seen the strength of those knights in magic costumes. Sweeping across the Eagle Plateau is no problem. Not to mention dealing with wild beasts and bandits. As for repairs and reconstruction, the Pawood family originally had to provide Jenn with a lot of building materials for some "unspeakable" reason. It's just a matter of pulling a batch and putting them here, and workers can also be recruited from the surrounding towns. It's not a hassle. It's just that Deli is still a little curious about why Jenn would intervene in this matter. You must know that even if there is a friendship between nobles, it is rare to meddle so deeply. If it were a different person, I am afraid that others would think that Jenn and Lycia had some ulterior relationship, but Deli thought that there were so many beautiful women around Jenn that there was no need to be entangled with a noble widow, so she felt very curious.
It's just that Dai Li also knows that this is a private relationship between nobles, and since the other party doesn't plan to explain it to herself, it's not easy for her to ask. Now that those key issues have been solved, Dai Li naturally won't ask anything more, and soon, she brought Wen Jiàn, and after discussing with Lijia, the two parties signed an agreement and stamped it. In this way, half of the area, including this orphanage, belongs to Ligia.
It's just that unlike Jenn's humiliating clause of "land reparations", the contract for the land purchased by Ligia is a normal transaction contract, and she has the ownership of the land, but she still has to pay a part of the taxes to the Pawood family every year. It's just that for the sake of Jenn's face, Dailie finally exempted Ligia's part of the tax, the orphanage is a charity, if Ligia's construction of the orphanage will be taxed by the above, if it spreads, it will be troublesome to cause dissatisfaction among the Templar Church. And this can be regarded as an indirect favor to Jenn, anyway, this wasteland was originally idle land and could not make money, so the Pawood family did not have any losses.
After the transaction was completed, Deli's mission was naturally over. However, before leaving, she still sent an invitation to Jenn on behalf of the Pawood family, hoping that he could come and sit down if he had time. And Dai Li also hinted to Jenn that the previous cultist incident was probably not simple, and there might be some trouble. Jenn didn't care about this, but said that he would go over and see the situation if he had time. After receiving Jenn's reply, Deli only nodded, and then left the Abbey of Sacred Songs in a carriage.
After that, Jenn didn't stop long, he left the convent to Lizia and the two maids, and deployed a team of knights in disguise to keep them safe, and left Passus. After all, the so-called aristocratic knight is only his superficial disguise, not his real identity.
He had never forgotten that he was a dungeon master.
"Master, you're finally back!!"
Seeing Jenn's reappearance, Bix and Elise were almost on the verge of tears. The dungeon as a sub-base had been built ten days ago, and the two of them originally thought that they could return to the dark region to continue their original life, but they didn't expect that a new race of succubi suddenly appeared on Jenn's side, which made him waste a lot of time to conduct experiments and investigations, so he left the two of them here. Now that Jenn appeared, they were also greatly relieved.
The dark and gloomy underground corridor was as always, and the glow of the torch on the wall flickered from time to time, bringing a gloomy and dim atmosphere to the entire corridor. Compared to the "main base" in the dark region, this dungeon does not look as luxurious, but it also has the feeling of an ancient underground ruin. Moreover, there are not as many buildings here as in the dark areas, except for the [lair] [training ground] used to maintain combat units, there are only [prisons] used to imprison prisoners, as well as [teleportation gates] and [war chess rooms] along with the main base. However, for Jenn, the prototype of the dungeon has been perfectly formed. Next............
"All ready?"
Walking through the corridors of the dungeon, Jenn couldn't help but ask. Hearing his inquiry, Bix happily clicked on the map.
"Yes, master, according to your construction, I have opened another entrance to the dungeon in the cave to the southwest. Pretend to be a ruin buried underground, and that the humans have been fooled. The miners who had 'accidentally' dug into the passage had been scared away, and now the mine over there is completely under our control. And the miners haven't been out of the mine for days, and they seem to be scared by us. ”
Speaking of this, Bix couldn't help but get excited. With her strength, of course, it was impossible to scare those humans away, but the aliens and banshees were not placed here for decoration. Just going out and yelling in the dark tunnels scared those humans into peeing their pants. And Bix, who was hiding in the dark and secretly observing this qiē, was naturally very excited when he saw the frightened urine flow of those humans.
By the way, it's not Bixes who is in command of these aliens and banshees, but Elise -- and with Bix's influence, she will be able to move those goblins.
However, compared to the excited Bix, Elise's expression was more solemn.
"My lord, I'm afraid that these humans are not so easy to deal with this time, after expelling the miners, I once secretly went outside to observe, and found that the exit of the mine is located in a human gathering area......... And it's not small. ”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Jenn reached out and pushed his glasses, reflecting a strange firelight.
"Which one is bigger than Brandon Stone?"
"It's probably a little smaller than Brandon Rock, but there are quite a few humans."
Speaking of this, Elise lowered her voice with a solemn expression and spoke.
"And when I went to investigate, I found that the entrance had been blocked by heavily armed soldiers---I don't think it was that simple."
"That's interesting............"
Hearing this, the corners of Jenn's mouth curled slightly, and Elise was right, generally speaking, there are few things like mines built in densely populated areas. Of course, it is not excluded that a small town was built around the mining area, but according to Elise, it is no longer a small town, but more like the scale of a city. In this case, there are also heavily armed soldiers............
"What do you think, Elise?"
"My lord, there must be something strange about this matter!" (To be continued......)
