But when Barry carried the water to Red Sand Fortress, the quota was already filled!

This was the most uncomfortable part for him. If he had delivered the water earlier, he might have been able to sign up.

The rare job opportunity just flew away. The more Barry thought about it, the more depressed he became.

Red Sand Fortress will no longer collect water from now on. The water carrier will definitely not be able to continue his job. Without an important source of income, how will he live his life?

Is it possible to leave the village and go to the south to seek life?

But the Barry family had little savings, and they were unfamiliar with the place they were going to the South. Moreover, they had to take their wife and children with them. Just thinking about it made their heads ache.

"Dad! Dad!"

Upon learning that her father was back, the family's three-year-old daughter rushed over and threw herself into Barry's arms.

"Ouch!"

Barry caught his daughter, and the depressed expression on his face immediately turned into a smile.

"Are you good at home? Have you listened to your mother?"

"have!"

Barry's daughter nodded obediently, and then said pitifully: "Dad, mommy hasn't come back yet, I'm so hungry."

"Hungry? Just wait."

After carefully putting his daughter down, Barry quickly took out a cloth bag from his waist, which contained half a piece of black bread he had eaten.

Taking out the half piece of black bread, Barry handed it to his daughter and said with a smile: "Eat it quickly."

"Um!"

The daughter happily took the half piece of black bread and ate it hungrily.

Watching his daughter gnawing on black bread, Barry couldn't help but think of someone in the village who sold his six-year-old daughter not long ago, got a lot of money, and then took his wife to the south to start a new life.

The days to come will only become more and more difficult. Otherwise, why don't you sell your daughter and take your wife to the south?

No, no, no! How can you sell your biological daughter? This kind of bastard behavior must not be done, absolutely not!

As soon as the idea came up, Barry shook his head violently and rejected it.

"Barry, you're back!"

At this moment, a woman carrying a basket appeared at the door, then walked in and asked hurriedly: "I heard that Red Sand Fortress will no longer collect water. Is it true?"

"Eh?" Barry was slightly startled, "How did you know?"

Barry's wife put the basket on the table and explained: "Yesterday, people from the village came and announced the news to us. They also left a recruitment order with the village chief. It is said that many people will be recruited, and the monthly salary is as high as three silver coins.

! You can earn more than you can by carrying water for a month, so hurry up and sign up!"

What a coincidence?! Barry just missed a job opportunity, and now a new job appears. Is it God blessing their family?

Barry was not overwhelmed with joy by the news. Instead, he calmed down and asked, "Have you heard what that job is for?"

"what for?"

The wife thought about it carefully and replied: "It seems that I want to plow the field and then sprinkle something on it."

"Plow?" Barry was suddenly confused, "Where is the land being plowed?"

"It is said to be the land in the north." said the wife.

"North?"

Hearing this, Barry couldn't help but frown and wondered: "Could it be a lie? The land in the north is more severely affected by the curse than here. What's the use of plowing the land there?"

"It's impossible."

In this regard, the wife had a different opinion: "They are officials of the Fengsu City City Hall. What can they deceive from us? Moreover, they also said that the recruitment order was issued in the name of the king."

The king who led Fengsuicheng to defeat the plague?!

Barry had a good impression of the king because the king was worried that the villagers living in the north of Fengsui City would not be able to enter the city to buy food, so he once sent people to distribute relief rations.

If the recruitment order is issued in the name of the king, it should not be false.

Thinking of this, Barry suddenly realized that he had to hurry up, otherwise he might miss this job again.

"Then I have to sign up quickly."

After saying these words, Barry ran out of the house quickly and ran towards the village chief's house.

This time, he finally got his wish and signed up.

…

At Dawn City, the military dock, the battleship King slowly docked.

After receiving the news in advance via wireless phone, Clive and other city hall officials were waiting on the shore early. When they saw Owen coming down, they congratulated in unison: "Your Majesty is welcome to triumph."

"Eh?"

Seeing Clive in the front row, Owen was a little surprised and asked: "Clive, didn't you go to the south to help form the new city hall? How come you came back earlier than me?"

"His Majesty."

Clive smiled slightly and explained the reason: "I can come back so early thanks to Sir Dryden Cloud. His learning ability is too strong..."

It turned out that when Clive was setting up the new city hall in Roar City, Dryden was just studying on the sidelines, and he quickly got started and mastered the essence of it.

When he was preparing to go to Bibo County to form a new city hall, Dryden took the initiative to ask for help, saying that taking him there would definitely help.

As expected, Dryden's outstanding work ability helped Clive relieve a lot of burden.

Seeing that Dryden was so good, Clive tried to let him lead the city hall.

After several days of inspection, it was confirmed that Dryden was qualified for the job. Clive then safely handed over Bibo County to his management and returned to Dawn City first.

"Oh...that's it." Owen nodded.

Count Claude's own abilities were mediocre, but he didn't expect his son to be so outstanding. This was a bit unexpected.

Fortunately, Dryden was the one who chose to stand on his side. Irving had to pay more attention to such a capable talent.

If he can lead the people to rebuild Bibo County, Owen would not mind continuing to promote him and entrust him with important tasks.

After instructing the soldiers to move the oil into the warehouse, Owen led a group of officials to the lord's castle.

I haven't been back for so long. Today's Dawn City has changed a lot, becoming cleaner and more beautiful than before.

The original dirt roads were paved with cement, making them much easier to walk on. There were many more concrete houses on both sides of the streets than when the expedition was launched. In addition, there were many changes.

The most eye-catching thing is a steel bridge over the Weishui River in the distance, which is only half completed.

That is a bridge to be built in the five-year plan, which can pass trains on the top and ships, including the battleship König, on the bottom.

This familiar yet unfamiliar feeling made Owen very emotional, as if the child he had carefully raised suddenly grew up.

"Our king is back!"

"Long live His Majesty the King!"

"Dear King, welcome back."

People on the street saw Irving and gathered around him one after another.

The enthusiasm of the people was so irresistible that it took Owen a long time to return to the lord's castle.

After coming back, Owen did not immediately get into work. After running around for so long, he didn't realize until he got home that his body was very tired and it was time to take a good rest.

At night, Owen took a comfortable bath. It was so good to take a bath with soap. Now he feels comfortable all over.

Before arriving at his room, Owen stopped, because Theresa, wearing light pajamas, was waiting for him at the door.

"special……"

Before Owen could even say his name, Teresa rushed over and hugged him tightly.

"It must have been too long for you to go on this expedition." She said, "I miss you so much, I think about you every day..."

Owen also raised his hand to hug the other person gently, and responded gently: "Me too."

At this time, the relationship between the two was like dry wood meeting a burning fire, which was instantly ignited.

Theresa held Owen's hand, and the two of them opened the door and walked in.

It turned out that there was another person in the room, sitting next to the bed, and Owen was slightly startled.

"Mapelle? Why are you in my room?"

"Your Majesty... no, Owen... that, I..."

Seeing Owen, Mapel, who was also wearing pajamas, immediately stood up from the bed, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she hesitated not knowing what to say.

"Owen." Theresa tugged Owen's hand, "This time Mapel will follow you on the expedition and protect your safety wholeheartedly. I know she has liked you since she was a child, and you must not let her down."

"Mabel, what do you mean..." Owen asked.

Mapel lowered her head, blushed and whispered: "I want to be by your side forever, with Theresa."

"Really?" Owen walked over and took Marpel's hand, "I understand what you mean."
