Chapter 140 Lord’s Chief Assistant

Tessa curled up in the car and closed her eyes to relax.

A month of hard work made her mentally weak.

Roderick rode up to the carriage.

"Miss Tessa, we have arrived at Winter City."

As the military commander-in-chief of the fortress, Roderick had obtained their itinerary as early as when the convoy was still dozens of miles away from Late Winter City, and personally went ten miles out of the city to greet them.

He learned about this very early. The lord's senior sister and another disciple of Master Luo Man were coming to Dudong Fortress. This was of course something that everyone should pay attention to.

Roderick had met Tessa once before. When Roman Sagan followed His Majesty to the fortress to counterattack the Windwhispering Plains, he still had an impression of the woman beside "Storm Guide".

Tessa pulled up the curtains.

When I saw the neat houses and the spacious and clean streets outside, I immediately woke up.

She followed her teacher to the Late Winter City once, but the Late Winter City in front of her was completely gone from the ruined and dirty appearance it had back then.

"Ms. Madeleine, long time no see."

The 340,000 gold francs he brought with him when he came here are almost at the bottom.

Colin suddenly discovered that the senior sister was familiar with many people, and going to the fortress felt like going home.

Tessa lowered her head and stepped out of the carriage, seeing a circle of people surrounding her, smiling like a spring breeze.

"Yes, long time no see."

Tessa listened to these whimsical decrees and thought about how her junior brother managed the fortress like playing house.

"The Lord has an obsession with neatness. He ordered people to knock down all the original thatched houses of all residents and rebuild them one by one. Even though it was just the simplest single house, it took more than two years. After that, it was even more

Issue a decree that no open defecation is allowed, no littering is allowed, no..."

However, Colin was short of manpower, and there were even fewer people who could handle such matters for him, so he naturally turned to his senior sister who had always been in charge of the finances of the Mage Tower.

After getting along for a long time, Colin has trusted Madeleine very much. However, since the death of the Duke, this lady has indeed aged day by day. Even the natural magic of the elves and the protection of the holy light of the coral have not had much effect.

"How can I have the nerve to use senior sister's money?" Colin said embarrassedly.

Although she often heard Colin talk about how wonderful Winter City was and how great it had changed, she always thought it was the childish way of her junior brother bragging and showing off in front of her. She didn't really find it interesting until she saw it with her own eyes.

Colin smiled slightly and stepped forward to hug him.

"Hello Tessa." The elf obviously didn't realize how long it had been and said with a smile, "How are you, Your Excellency Roman Sagan?"

The residents of Late Winter City are no longer the timid serfs they once were, but when they saw this motorcade that was even more majestic than when the lord came, they all stopped to watch.

Colin smelled the familiar fragrance and said with a smile: "Senior sister, thank you for coming to help me."

…

When Colin was stunned, he saw his senior sister covering her mouth with her hands, coming over and whispering:

"I also misappropriated some from the teacher, made up 500,000, and brought it over with me."

Ke Lin, who had "planned for a long time", immediately took the opportunity to ask for his senior sister.

"Everyone, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Sir Olivia, the teacher asked me to say hello to you." Tessa took the initiative to walk up to the elf lady.

Tessa felt quite new and sat in Colin's usual seat, smiling and saying: "Your place is too simple."

Seeing that Senior Sister had no objection, Ke Lin immediately continued: "The finances of the fortress have been a bit tight recently, but Senior Sister, rest assured that the days to come will definitely get better and better."

"You called me here to help you specifically?" Tessa smiled and said, "Originally I was envious of the position of 'Minister of Agriculture', but Sophia does a better job than me."

Even Thunder City doesn't have such rules.

"Hey, Coral has grown a lot taller." Tessa touched her little head.

"The teacher was not stingy and gave me two more carts of mint." Tessa said with a smile.

As a result, Tessa left the teacher who had raised her for many years and happily came to the Late Winter Fortress.

It has been two and a half years since Colin arrived at the fortress. Colin has been investing almost all the time. In addition, now that the territory has been recovered and the magic energy project has been launched, he has spent money like water. Although some industries such as "primary healing potions" have begun to make money,

Still unable to make ends meet.

"The teacher is very good." Tessa said: "Last month, Lord Elloyd came to visit the Mage Tower."

Colin smiled awkwardly, and then asked curiously: "How many?"

"Did you spend enough money on me?" Tessa asked doubtfully.

Fortunately, all large-scale investment projects are on track, and subsequent income will gradually exceed expenditures. This is not a lie.

"He just wanted to get some mint from your teacher." Olivia did not save any face for her son.

In just two and a half years, such changes have already occurred.

"Minister of Finance... I'm good at managing money, but 'chief assistant' sounds weird..."

Before he could say a word, Coral had already rushed forward.

"this……"

Roman Sagan regretted what he had said, but he did not have the nerve to go back on his words. He could only wave his hand and let the two disciples discuss it themselves.

However, Tessa smiled slightly: "I'm not afraid of spending money. I sold all the property titles in my name and brought all my savings with me."

"Ah, is it Sophia? I almost didn't recognize her."

In the study room.

Colin cleared his throat and said seriously: "How do you feel about the lord's chief assistant and Xia Ya's 'finance minister'?"

There are no gorgeous flowers like the Thunder City Garden District here, nor are there elegant buildings and gorgeous decorations, but it gives people an indescribable sense of cleanliness and tidiness.

"I've already thought about it, senior sister."

"Miss Tessa." Madeline walked up.

Tessa greeted everyone and turned to Colin.

"Not much." Tessa said, "Just over 300,000 gold francs."

Since the establishment of the teleportation array, the two of them have actually been able to meet each other quite often, but from the outsiders' perspective, this pair of fellow disciples have not seen each other for two and a half years. If they didn't show any signs of it, it would obviously arouse suspicion.

"..."

"Hello, Miss Tessa, this place is very nice, better than Thunder City." Old Harvey retreated behind the crowd and bowed slightly.

The former chief magic advisor of the fortress obviously also knew Tessa.

"Mr. Harvey, are you still getting used to living here?"

"Sister, I miss you so much." The little girl, who was getting better at flattery, threw herself into Tessa's arms.

"..."

"Sister Tessa." Sophia stepped forward and saluted seriously.

The last time he returned to the Mage Tower and described the recent situation, Roman Sagan was very relieved to learn that his disciple had once again achieved results in space magic. He asked with a bald mouth: "If there is anything missing, just tell me."

"Territory construction is very expensive, how can I only focus on my own enjoyment." Colin personally brought a cup of black tea over.

However, the Dudong City in front of her made her have no choice but to believe it.

"..."

Since Jennifer went to the Government Office and focused her energy on the newly acquired territory, the property management of the fortress once again fell to Madeleine, but the energy of this old high-level magician was not as good as before.

This time he asked the lord to find someone to share the burden.

When the motorcade arrived at the fortress, Colin and a group of people were already waiting at the door. Even Olivia took the initiative to come over and join in the fun after hearing about it.

Colin immediately opened his mouth to get acquainted.

After a long while, he said in a daze: "The teacher will spank us if he finds out."

"Don't worry." Tessa blinked: "The teacher doesn't know how much money he has."

Colin: "..."
