Chapter 59: The Desperate Lord, His Royal Highness
The sky gradually started to get brighter, and Lina turned her body away from the sun.
"Witt, I came without a hat. I feel a little uncomfortable now. I have to go back." Lina closed her eyes gently, "I may have to rest for a few hours before I can come here to help. Of course, the prerequisite is that I am still wearing a hat.
Down."
Werther looked at her and said with concern: "Why don't you go back and rest for a day, and come back here in the evening. If you are really exhausted, there will be no one to help me read the drawings."
Lina pouted and said, "Do you care about me just because I can read the drawings? Besides, there must be people among the workers recruited who can read the drawings."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Werther showed a surprised expression.
Lina brought her face close to him, staring at him with her beautiful eyes, and asked: "You just care about me, no need to give other reasons."
Werther blushed instantly, and he could even hear his own nervous breathing. He really cared about Lina as a person, not because Lina could understand the drawings.
"Since you guessed it, you can go back to the castle and sleep." Werther put his hands on his waist and closed his eyes gently, looking arrogant and helpless.
"Of course~" Linna swung her arms back and forth and walked to a shaded area near the woods. As soon as she opened her wings and was about to fly back, she was pulled by Werther.
"Wait a minute, I'll use magic to send you back." Werther said.
"But, I'm worried that there are people outside the castle. Especially Laura and the others may be feeding the cows at this time, and Wile may be cleaning the steps outside the castle."
"I just used my superpower to see it. There is no one outside the castle now. Let's take advantage of it now."
With that said, Werther took Lina and quickly transformed back into the castle.
"Then I'll go to bed first~" Linna walked into the door and waved to Werther.
After Werther watched Lina go in, he was hit by Wile who ran in a panic.
"Wow, why are you so reckless? What happened?"
"Your Highness, you see, it's past seven o'clock now, and there are less than ten workers who have come to sign up to build the tower. They all live on the farm, and their homes are relatively close to the location where the tower is being built. So I wonder if the workers who are far away
Most people wouldn’t sign up even if they wanted to come.”
Werther frowned and said, "Why didn't I think of this problem before? Why don't you and Ivan write a few more words on the notice, saying that the castle will provide fast horses and carriages to safely transport them when traveling?
Go home. And we will set up twenty temporary tents outside the castle to provide food and accommodation for the workers.
Workers can choose to take a carriage back and forth or live directly near the castle. The carriage is enough to accommodate six to seven people. Every morning and evening, the castle will send people to pick up the workers in batches. As for the tents, each tent can accommodate four people, a total of
It can accommodate eighty people. If you write it clearly in the notice, I think some people will be willing to come."
"Yes, Your Highness, but now we are really going to run out of money."
"Use the business money to advance the payment first, and then I'll think of a way."
"Yes, Your Highness, I will ask Kath, Bonnie and Carla to buy tents now."
"I remember that there are a lot of tents and daily necessities in the castle's warehouse. You should move the ones out of the warehouse first. If not, go buy them. Let Kath and the others do these things."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Also, where are the workers who signed up this morning?"
"They're waiting behind the castle."
"How long have you been waiting?"
"The first ones to come must have been waiting for more than ten minutes. I have already poured hot tea for them. There may be people who live nearby coming later.
Sign up."
"Otherwise, you should let these people go home first. Wait until everyone is here and then let everyone work together." Witte said, "Let Ivan wait here for everyone to sign up. After you inform Kath about the tent, go
To supplement the notice, I would like to add that the registration deadline is tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Wile went to the back of the castle to find Ivan. At this time, Werther felt vaguely worried. After the defense tower was built, a lot of gold coins would probably have to be put in, and it would probably take several months to earn these gold coins. But now
Defending against the attacks of vampire soldiers is the most important thing, and this is the only way to do it first.
Today and tomorrow he still has to build the tower with Lina, and he can work with the workers the day after tomorrow. He originally wanted to go back and continue building the tower, but at this time he felt unbearably hungry and thirsty. He thought, he was
Before going to work, it would be better to have some breakfast.
He walked into the castle and saw Tom.
"Uncle Tom, is there breakfast?" he asked.
"Yes, we have prepared it for Your Highness." Tom looked friendly, "But Your Highness, what I want to ask you is that the place where the tower is built is more than one kilometer away from here. Why don't you take a carriage?"
"Well... I want to exercise, not to mention it's not too far away. Fortunately, the woods are rectangular, so I won't have to walk such a long way."
"Your Highness is truly amazing."
"Ha ha."
Werther felt that Tom just cared about him and didn't seem to suspect anything.
After hastily eating two slices of cheese bread and drinking a glass of milk, Werther was ready to set off to build the tower again. Because he had practiced magic, he could rely on his very strong willpower to support his already very tired body.
He thought that he would build until noon, sleep for a few hours after lunch, wake up before dinner, and then work with Lina after eating.
When he walked outside the castle, he saw Laura taking care of the little cow. The cow was newly bought by Laura. Together with the twelve-year-old farm worker, she built a cowshed outside the castle and raised the cows there.
"Your Highness, Lord." Laura stood up, wearing a hat and veil in order to prevent being discovered by people on Agnes' side.
"Well, this is the new cow you bought." Werther looked at the cow curiously.
The cow looked very small, still underage, with its thin calves supporting its black and white torso, and it called "moo" to Werther cutely.
"Your Highness, last time Gal and I went to buy cows, there was only this one left in the market that day. It must not be enough, so today Gal went to the market again and he wants to buy a few more cows."
"Well, is Gal that little boy?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Gal knows a lot about raising dairy cows."
"Yes, but I know a lot. How to buy cows and how to feed cows is what I taught Gal." Laura began to talk endlessly.
Werther knew she was running the train again.
"Since you all know how to raise cows, that's great. I hope you can go well. I'll leave first."
Werther waved his hand to Laura and walked forward. He thought to himself that he couldn't use magic within Laura's sight, so he might as well walk a little further forward.
He walked about a few hundred meters and looked back. There were many trees and rocks between him and Laura. After making sure that Laura couldn't see him, he teleported to the vicinity of the defense tower. Although there was a farm nearby, it was close to the defense tower.
A large area of the tower has not needed to be cultivated recently, so the frequency of people appearing here during the day is lower than in other places.

Although Te couldn't use magic as much as he did at night, he could still use it occasionally. Once he found someone passing by, he would stop immediately and use physical strength to work instead.
Although he didn't have Linna's help, he now knew roughly how to do it. Although his body was a little shaky, he could still stack the stones accurately.
Because he was so serious, he didn't feel the length of time at all. When he felt that he could no longer support his body, he found that the sun had already passed above his head.
"It must be the afternoon already, my God... I feel so tired."
A wave of fatigue spread throughout his body, and Werther staggered and fell down.
At this moment, he was supported by Lina who felt it in time. Lina had just landed and had not even closed her wings. Werther noticed that Lina had put on a maid outfit and wore the pink wide-brimmed hat.
"Oh, you have tired yourself to this extent again. It's really strange, why can't you feel your fatigue sometimes? Until you tire yourself to the limit, is it a side effect of magic?"
"Yes, you are so smart. You guessed it right. It is a side effect of magic." Witte reluctantly stood up straight. "There will be some adverse reactions when practicing this magic, but they will be overcome over time."
"I'd better take you back to the castle." Linna's eyes were filled with concern, and her tone was full of worry.
"Well, okay." Werther nodded weakly, "I've never tried flying in the sky like a vampire."
"Last time you were overworked from practicing magic. I obviously took you flying, but you forgot about it so quickly. But having said that, you were fast asleep at that time, so it's normal not to know."
Lina turned Werther's body half a circle, then held Werther's upper arm and slowly flew up.
"Hey, Lina, my arm feels so uncomfortable like this." Werther moved around in Lina's hand.
"This is the only way I can take you back while maintaining balance." Lina looked at Werther, "Hey, hey, don't move so hard, I won't be able to hold you back for a while!"
"Can't hold it?" Werther muttered in a low voice, "Why does it feel like I'm a plate?"
Werther felt a bit chilly in the air and couldn't help but wrap his cloak tightly around him.
"It seems like I should wear more clothes." Werther looked up at Lina and noticed that she was not wearing a cloak.
Werther was a little surprised and said: "Why did you come out without a cloak? You will freeze your body."
Lina lowered her head slightly and looked at Werther helplessly: "It's not because I was worried about you that I even forgot to take my coat. But that's okay, wearing a coat will slow down my flying speed."
"I feel sorry for you, thank you so much." Werther felt angry and funny at himself, looking like he was about to cry without tears.
"If Uncle Tom hadn't knocked on my bedroom anxiously and told me that you hadn't returned to the castle yet, I wouldn't have come out to find you in such a hurry. You should also thank Uncle Tom." Lina said calmly.
"So it was Uncle Tom who informed you. Were you still sleeping at that time?"
"No, I had been awake for a while by then. Before that, I went to the kitchen to get some bread and barbecue."
"That's it, has everyone eaten?"
"Already eaten. Fortunately, you said earlier that the servants can eat first when you are not around, otherwise everyone will starve with you."
"Well, what are you going to do when you go back?"
"After I send you back, I will continue to help you build a defense tower." Lina lowered her head, looked at Werther and smiled, "You can sleep peacefully."
