When Werther woke up, he found it was dark outside the window. Since the curtains were not drawn, he could see the shining stars in the sky.
"Oh my God, what time is it now? Why didn't I wake up at dawn but at this time?" Werther felt a little dizzy. He gently rubbed his temples. After gradually waking up, he remembered himself.
Something about being overworked during the day due to the side effects of magic.
He looked at the clock and saw that it was already ten o'clock in the evening. He actually slept until now, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He still remembered that after Linna brought him back to the castle, he ate some bread in a hurry and fell asleep on the sofa. Maybe Tom carried him to the bedroom, he thought. Turning his head, he saw a glass of water next to the table.
Feeling thirsty, Werther drank up the water in a few sips, then stood up and walked out.
Touching his growling stomach, he felt that he had better eat something.
When we arrived in the hall, we saw Tom and Wil sitting on the sofa, and a sumptuous dinner was placed on the long table.
"Your Highness, are you awake?"
"Your Highness, you have slept until now."
Tom and Wil stood up.
"Well, did you leave the dinner on the table for me?" Werther asked curiously.
Wile nodded: "Uncle Potter had prepared it for you a long time ago, but since you didn't wake up, we saw that you were too tired and didn't dare to disturb you. So we could only warm you up every two hours."
"You guys are really thoughtful."
Werther looked at the food on the table and the delicious grape juice with bright eyes, so he lay on the table and started to eat hungrily.
"Your Highness," Tom reminded with some worry, "You must try your best to maintain the manners of a lord, not to mention you are from the royal family."
"But I'm so hungry that I can't care about that much. Besides, besides you, who knows how I eat now." Werther almost filled his mouth with food.
Wile also smiled and said: "Uncle Tom, please don't worry about His Highness. He will feel very happy in such an unrestrained situation."
Tom smiled and shook his head and said: "Okay, Your Highness, but you should not talk while eating, and don't put too much food in your mouth at one time, as this will put you in danger."
"Well, your reminder makes sense."
Werther began to eat more slowly, putting less food into his mouth each time.
Wow, these foods feel especially delicious when you are hungry. Werther felt ecstatic in his heart. Thanks to the help of the food elf and everyone, plus his own efforts, the people of Daybreak Town can eat soft bread. Only bread is good.
Only by eating it can you better reflect the deliciousness of other dishes.
After Werther swallowed the food in his mouth, he took another sip of grape juice. The sweet and sour taste slid down his throat, and he had an expression of surprise on his face.
"Did you buy this grape raw material from a neighboring town?"
"Yes, Your Highness, the winery sent some grapes today. They said they bought too much and didn't know what to do with them. So they sent them to the castle."
"I see. This grape juice tastes so good. Are there any grapes left?"
"This is the juice squeezed from the last grapes." Wile said, "We have squeezed several glasses for you before. Because you were too late to come downstairs, the new grape juice would become unpalatable to us, so every once in a while
In an hour we will share the previous cup and drink it, and then squeeze fresh juice for you."
Werther held the cup in his hand and sighed inwardly, when the leader
It feels so good to be a master. I can be carefully cared for by my servants every day. But I must not be addicted to it. I still have to think about the things in the town all the time, especially now that the vampire soldiers are about to attack.
"Well, I suddenly remembered, is Lina back?"
"Lina came back at six o'clock, had dinner, drank some stored animal blood, and then went to build the defense tower."
"That's it. How about changing today's notice?"
Wile said: "Today's notice attracted a lot of people to watch. I think many people will come to sign up tomorrow."
Victor nodded and said, "That's good."
After he was full, he sat on a chair and rested for a while, then stood up and said, "I'm going to help at the construction site too."
"Huh?" Wile was so surprised that he almost fell down, "It turns out that His Highness planned to work tonight, so no wonder he was able to sleep peacefully until now."
"Then I'll leave first. You don't have to wait for me. Go back to the bedroom and rest." Werther put on his cloak and walked out.
"Your Highness, be careful!" Tom and Wile stood at the gate of the castle and waved to him.
"I got it, go back quickly." Werther looked back, waved towards them, and said loudly.
After the castle door was closed, Werther looked around and found that there was no one else, so he used teleportation magic to reach the position of the defense tower again.
"Oh, Werther, you're here." Linna looked very happy. After laying the stone in her hand, she turned around, put her hands behind her back, and looked at Werther with a smile.
"Lina, you look a little tired. Why don't you take a break and let me do it." Werther said with concern.
Lina specially wore gloves today, and she also specially prepared a pair for Werther.
"Well, I'm not tired." Linna said, "I have rested just now, and you are here just in time. The two of us can do it together. I will definitely take good care of you this time, and I will take care of you at around five o'clock in the morning.
Bring it back to the castle so you won't be too tired."
"That's good. Tomorrow I will ask Wile to send the long-term workers who will sign up to the construction site in batches. While the workers are working, we can go back to sleep. When we wake up, we can come here to see what everyone is doing.
How about it."
"That's good, Werther."
"Then let's have a busy night!" Werther rolled up his sleeves, bent his arms, and made a victory gesture, with confidence in his eyes.
Lina smiled and nodded.
The two of them worked all night using physical strength and magic respectively. By 5:30, the foundation of the defense tower was nearly half completed.
Witte looked at the stones paved on the ground with satisfaction and said: "Probably during the day today, the workers will be able to complete many parts. Now, let's go back before dawn."
Lina nodded and said, "Let's go."
Werther pulled Lina and used teleportation magic to move the two of them to the front of the castle. They returned to the bedroom and began to sleep.
At about eight o'clock in the morning, Wile stretched out his hands, pulled away Werther's quilt, and placed an ice cube next to him without hesitation.
"Wow! Why did you put ice cubes in again!" Werther woke up quickly from the cold, "It's winter now."
"Your Highness, I called you for a long time just now, but you really couldn't wake up and kept talking strange things in your sleep." Wile spread his hands helplessly.
"What's the emergency?"
"Of course it's urgent, it's already
Some people have come to sign up." Wile said with a frown.
"Oh my god, you're here so early. How many people are here?"
"In addition to the eight people who have already signed up yesterday and who I told yesterday to come at eight o'clock today, twelve new people have arrived."
"Okay, let Ivan be responsible for the registration first. You can send these people who have already signed up to the defense tower. I will also go there and tell them how to do it."
"Yes, Your Highness. However, are you sure there is nothing wrong with your body?"
"I've slept for two or three hours. I should be able to hold on. It's an emergency now, so I can only do this. After I tell the workers everything I know, I can work at night and rest during the day.
.Hopefully I can last a month.”
Wile sighed: "His Highness has really put a lot of effort into hiding his magic skills. In the end, it's Duke Dak's fault. After this wave of vampire soldiers are beaten away, the people on Duke Dak's side will
They are coming to cause trouble for His Highness. No, according to the past frequency, they will probably come up with bad ideas to influence you in a few days."
Werther looked out the window and said: "If they come to cause trouble again, I will have no choice but to deal with it. You can use the carriage to pick up the workers now. After I get dressed, I will use magic to go to the construction site."
"Yes, Your Highness."
By the afternoon of that day, a total of eighty-two people came to sign up. After everyone worked until dusk, more than half of the workers chose to live in tents, while the other dozen workers were sent home by Wile or rode home on their own.
After Werther had dinner and rested for a while, Wile came back. It was already past eight o'clock.
Wile hit his shoulder and said, "I'm so tired. Your Highness, do you want to pick up the workers tomorrow morning?"
"Well, yes. However, in the next month, you only need to do the work of picking up and transporting workers." Witte said, "Because we need manpower, so don't spend time taking care of me during this period. I
You must take care of yourself personally. I will arrange everyone’s work next.”
As he spoke, Werther took out paper and pen and wrote down the work arrangements for everyone on the table.
He said while writing: "Ivan is still responsible for everyone's health. Uncle Tom, Uncle Potter, Laura, Kath, Bonnie and Carla are responsible for everyone's food and accommodation, including the long-term workers and the workers building the defense towers.
and the people of the castle. Lina and I helped build the defense tower at night and cleaned the castle during the day.
As for Margery and York..."
As Werther was talking, Margaery's voice appeared from behind.
"Brother Werther, we must help you when you are in such a hurry. You and Lina are responsible for the cleaning work on the second floor, and York and I are responsible for the cleaning work on the first floor."
"Hey, it turns out you also have good intentions." Werther said in surprise.
"I've always been kind. If you say that again, I'll get angry, huh." Margaery crossed her arms angrily again.
"I was joking just now. Thank you for your help, Margery." Werther smiled.
"It's a trivial matter~" Margery waved her hand proudly.
After Werther smiled tenderly at Margery again, he handed the paper to Wile: "Let's go and inform everyone of these arrangements, and then we can rest."
"Yes, Your Highness." Wile said.
"Brother Werther, I'll go with you too." Margery was jumping up and down with excitement on her face.
