"It seems that our situation is very dangerous now." Ivan thought of the last night attack and felt frightened. "Perhaps I should also learn swordsmanship to defend myself, so that you don't have to worry about me all the time."
"Of course it would be good if you have time to learn." Werther looked at him, his eyes full of sincerity, "No matter what, I will protect you with all my life, because you are my partners. We live together in the castle, and we have been together for a long time.
Family."
"Yes, Your Highness." Ivan smiled brightly, his eyes were bent, and his golden hair was blown by the breeze.
Thinking of the family in this world, Werther couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
"Let's go back to the dry well and I'll use magic to take you back." He said, pulling on Ivan's sleeve.
"Of course, but I heard from Wile that you need to spend a lot of energy using magic. I don't want you to spend too much energy for me."
"Wile said a lot, but luckily he said it to you." He smiled helplessly, "It's okay. I ate the magic energy fruit last night and I have a lot of energy now. The more I practice magic, the better I become. When I have enough energy,
Under the circumstances, there is no harm in practicing more.”
"That is my good fortune, Your Highness."
They walked behind the dry well again and squatted down.
At this time, the woodcutter changed his clothes, held a bag of bread, looked curiously into the dry well, found their figures, opened his mouth in surprise, and said: "You two are still here?
Haven’t my friends found you yet?”
"No, we are not playing hide and seek." Witte explained.
"Then you can play in the sand slowly, I'll leave first." The woodcutter smiled and left.
"Wait a minute, we're not playing in the sand anymore!" Werther said loudly, trying to be heard.
"Forget it, Your Highness, don't explain, he has already left." Ivan put his hand on his shoulder and sighed, "This is really the only place around here suitable for hiding."
"Then let's go back as soon as there is no one around." Werther quickly gathered his strength and used magic to bring the two of them to the back of the castle.
They walked around the castle and saw several people in front of the castle leaving their names and the location of their homes in front of Wile.
"In a week, construction will begin."
"Laura went to Night Town alone today to recruit long-term workers. I don't know what happened." Ivan looked at the ground next to him, frowned slightly, and said with some worry, "I hope she won't cause trouble for others."
Werther opened his eyes and looked at him curiously and asked: "In your eyes, does Laura seem to be someone who often causes trouble for others?"
"Of course." Ivan began to recall, "She often eats my desserts, and..."
"what else?"
"I can't remember." Ivan's face turned red.
"Is she still pestering you?" At this time, Wile came over, put his hands on his waist, and looked at them lazily.
"Don't mention her anymore." Ivan closed his eyes gently, held his head helplessly, sighed, and said, "I hope she doesn't get lost today. Otherwise, I will have to look for her again."
"Isn't that great?" Wile put his arms on his chest and nodded with his eyes closed.
"What a good thing." Ivan said, "This is very tiring."
"I want to ask you, what are you saying behind the castle? Why don't you hurry up and enter the castle? It's so cold here." Wile shivered.
, quickly ran towards the door and shouted loudly, "I'll go in first."
"Hey, aren't you here waiting for the people to come?" Werther shouted loudly.
"Your Highness, why don't you use your magic to help me see if there are any pedestrians coming from a distance?" Wile whispered.
Fortunately, Werther understood his mouth movements, shook his head helplessly and said, "I really can't do anything about you, so I'd better write a few words on the wooden sign and put it next to the table by the door."
"What are you going to write?" Ivan asked curiously.
"It's like knocking on the door and someone will come out of the castle." Werther replied, "In case some people come and don't see anyone, I'm worried that the people will go back like this and make the trip in vain."
"Your Highness is really thoughtful," Ivan said.
By this time Wile had already entered, and they were walking towards the door.
At this time, they heard the sound of horse hooves behind them, and looked back to see Laura galloping towards them on horseback.
"You're back so soon!" Werther was extremely surprised, "It's not even noon yet!"
Laura stopped in front of them, got off the horse, and said breathlessly: "Your Highness, I set out before six o'clock in the morning and recruited fifty long-term workers today."
"So many long-term workers!" Werther was extremely surprised, "Aren't you too awesome?"
"I don't know why I'm so lucky." Laura smiled sheepishly, showing two rows of teeth, "What about Wile, how many people have been recruited."
"He has recruited more than a dozen people here," Witte said. "We recruited many long-term workers in Daybreak Town before, so the number of long-term workers we can recruit now is very small."
"It makes sense, so we should recruit from neighboring towns so that we can have enough long-term workers."
Witte thought for a moment and then asked Laura: "Do you think we can still recruit long-term workers in Nightfall Town tomorrow?"
Laura nodded, shook her head, and said: "Maybe, but I feel that I can only recruit less than ten people."
"The number of people should be almost enough. It's just that there are not enough people to transport the goods." Witte thought at this time that he could only use magic to transport the goods to Willy City.
"But, Your Highness, while it is still very cold in Willy City, we can make a lot of money by transporting woolen cloth and cotton there as soon as possible." Laura said, "I can go to Nightstone Town or Nightlight Town to continue recruiting long-term workers.
"
"No, I'm afraid we can't afford that much wages." Witte said, "It will be enough to recruit about ten more long-term workers in Nightfall Town tomorrow. As for transporting goods, I have my own way."
"Okay, I believe Your Highness." Laura smiled, then looked at Ivan with a devilish smile, "Long time no see."
"We just met yesterday, no, we met in the morning." Ivan walked around to the other side of Werther, deliberately avoiding Laura, and couldn't help but shiver.
"Am I a wild wolf or a tiger?" Laura sighed helplessly, "If you treat me like this, I will feel chilled."
"Your Highness, let's go back quickly." Ivan ignored her, just held Werther's wrist and walked towards the castle, his eyes full of helplessness.
Werther couldn't figure out what he thought of Laura. Sometimes he felt that he cared about her, but most of the time he was avoiding her.
"Wait for me." Laura shouted from behind.
They walked into the castle together. The tired Ivan returned to the bedroom to rest, Wile was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, seeming to be half asleep, and Rose
Laze went to eat.
Others in the castle were busy this morning, as usual.
Now the hospital drawings also need to be drawn by Lina, and Werther plans to wait until she wakes up to tell her about it.
"Why don't I go to the workshop in the afternoon to see how the woolen cloth and cotton are doing? Anyway, I'm about to go to Willy City to deliver goods." He smiled.
At this time, Tom brought him a cup of hot coffee with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, it turns out you are back. I was busy cleaning just now and didn't hear you."
"It's okay, Ivan and Wile both have the keys."
"However, Your Highness, you must remember to bring your key. Otherwise, if something happens and no one can open the door for you, it will be troublesome." Tom said with concern, and took out a key tied with a rope from his clothes.
He put the key in his hand and said, "I made this for you. You can put it in your pocket and tie the string to the button inside the pocket."
Werther looked at his wrinkled face and warm eyes and thought, Uncle Tom is really considerate. It's a pity that I can't tell him about my magic now, otherwise he wouldn't be so worried about me.
He took the chained key, put it away, and said with a smile: "This is a good idea."
Tom smiled, like the warm sunshine, which made his heart feel as warm as a stove: "Your Highness, it's almost lunch time. I'll go to the kitchen to see if Potter has started making lunch.
"
"Okay." Werther nodded with a smile and drank his coffee.
Soon, Tom came over, leaned down slightly, and said, "Potter is washing vegetables. Lunch will be ready in less than an hour. I don't know if you are hungry now. If you are, I will get it for you."
Some cookies.”
"I'm not hungry, Uncle Tom. Let's just have lunch later."
"Your Highness, I wonder if you have noticed that those trees have grown taller." Tom said with a smile, "I just don't know how long it will take to grow into a big tree."
"I've grown taller!" Werther said in surprise, "I didn't notice it when I came back just now. I'm going to take a look now!"
With that said, he put down the cup and ran out. When he got to the back, he found that the sapling had grown a lot taller. He was extremely pleasantly surprised. It would be great if it could grow magic energy fruit.
At this time, Tom also came here, holding a cloak in his hand: "Your Highness, it's cold here, be careful of catching a cold."
"Thank you, Uncle Tom." Werther put on his cloak and felt warm.
"Your Highness, your shoes have been worn out recently. Do you need to buy a new pair?" Tom continued to ask.
After hearing this, Werther lowered his head and looked at his shoes. Sure enough, there were several small holes on the sides. Because the holes were on the surface and not inside, he didn't feel the cold on his feet these days.
"But, I may not have money to buy new shoes now." Witte bit his lip and hesitated, "I have enough money to build a school, but I don't know if I have enough money to build a hospital."
After Tom heard what he said, his expression did not change, but there was a slight difference in his eyes.
"Forget it, I can still wear these shoes now, let's wait until later to buy new shoes, haha~" He touched the back of his head with his hand and smiled happily.
And Tom was thinking at this time, maybe he could use his own money. Although he couldn't afford very expensive shoes, he could buy a new pair of shoes. If he saved enough money, he would give him shoes suitable for a prince.
