Despite the twists and turns, things seem to be back on the track that Jones wanted - make money, pay off debts, and then make money again, expand the castle, and become a great Blood Lord.

The goal seems to be close at hand.

"If I can earn 50,000 gold coins a year, I will be able to pay off my debts in two years, and in another eight years, by the time I reach the end of ten years, I will already have 400,000 gold coins! 400,000 gold coins! That can do a lot of things, I can expand the castle several times! Of course, I may also buy another castle and get rid of this hydra completely!"

"I'm even a little grateful to the goblin who sold me the castle, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have had a castle, a territory, so quickly. Although I haven't paid a dime of my debt, and this castle can't technically be considered mine, it will soon be mine!hahahaha!"

Thinking about it, Joneston felt that his future was full of hope. I started humming a little song when I walked.

For the next few days, while waiting for Adolf's arrival, he focused on tidying up the castle's housekeeping.

First of all, a general cleaning is essential. I had only cleaned up the Hydra's feces before, and I was still far away from cleaning up the castle to be habitable. There is also a lot of waste in the castle.

Basically, they were left by the previous owner, and most of them had been run over by the Hydra, so it can be said that they could not be scrapped again. The possibility of reuse is ruled out.

Of course, there are also some complete, but all of them are worthless, such as pots and pans and other household items. Since Jones wasn't a living lord, he gave all of these things to the dwarves. Or more accurately, Jones took all the garbage out and threw it on the ground, and then the dwarves looked for anything to use, and by the way, they took all the rest of the garbage and found a place to bury it.

In fact, the main reason for doing this is that Jones didn't want to dig a hole and bury it himself, which would be too much trouble. Unexpectedly, the dwarves were very happy. They cheered with a smile on their faces, and even the barrels were happy.

Looking at the dwarves running around happily, Jones was a little incomprehensible.

"Why? It's just something useless. Is it worth having fun like this?"

"Because it's my own. The barrel replied softly, "As a slave, you are not allowed to own your own private property." All that we have belongs to the slave owners. And what you just promised to find belongs to us. Isn't that worth rejoicing?"

Jones was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the barrel.

"What's wrong?" asked the keg.

"Nothing. Jones took a deep breath and said, "I was just a little surprised. I had never thought about what slaves wanted and liked before. How so...... I hope you don't mind, I always thought that a slave is a slave, born a slave, just like a tool, that's all. ”

"It's nothing to mind, every slave owner thinks so. Otherwise, it's the other. The barrel smoked a cigarette, looked at the delighted dwarves with a smile, and whispered, "It surprises me that you would consider why we are happy." ”

After thinking about it, the barrel took out another glass, poured a glass of spirits and handed it to Jones: "Come, let's have a toast, I wish you a smooth mine, and I wish you to become a new blood billionaire." ”

Jones hesitantly took the glass, touching the keg's flask: "I wish you all the best of luck in regaining your freedom." ”

The barrels were still busy prospecting and preparing for the mines, and Jones was busy cleaning up the castle.

Most of the dwarves were idle, so Jones simply asked them to help.

The hydra is still hibernating. The dwarves probably really thought that the hydra was raised by Jones, and they all dared to enter the castle.

With more people, the speed of cleaning has also increased significantly. In just two days, they not only removed all the debris from top to bottom of the castle, including the dungeon, but also brought buckets of water and washed the entire castle from top to bottom.

It's a big project.

Since it is cleaning the environment in which it lives, Hydra also cooperates.

After two days, the whole castle inside and out, it can be described as a new look. The only problem - it's still empty, nothing.

"Need we make you some furniture?" asked Jones, one of the dwarves.

"Do you know how to make furniture?" Jones asked rhetorically.

"Of course, we make our own furniture. Dwarves don't just play iron and mine. As long as there is wood, we can make any furniture. ”

"That'...... I'll pay you, and you can save it for your life. ”

As a result, Jones had a solid grasp of the benefits of having a group of dwarven "friends".

He drew up a long list, enough to fill the entire castle's furniture list. In addition to her own room, there is Dora's room, and there are ten other rooms. Don't ask why there are so many rooms, the main Jones thinks that the rooms in the castle are empty, very uncomfortable, and the dwarves offer very low prices.

Five gold coins, just five gold coins, they contracted the furniture of Jones's entire castle. Not only the furniture, but also the furniture has a variety of carvings that look very high-end – except that there is no paint. But Jones doesn't mind.

Everyone was busy, the castle was changing day by day, and the hibernating hydra couldn't help but open their eyes to see the dwarves with smiling faces.

"Is there anything else that can be done, sir? "A dwarf came running for Jones.

Well, it doesn't take that many people to make furniture, so there are still some of the dwarves who are idle. This part of the people saw that other people were making money, and they couldn't sit still.

After thinking about it, Jones could only reluctantly reply: "Not for the time being." ”

"Toilet. The hydra behind him reminded in a whisper.

"Well, I almost forgot. Jones scratched his head.

So, Jones asked the dwarves to help remodel the castle and build a toilet for Hydra. The price is ten gold coins.

The dwarves cheered with joy as they received their new mission.

Looking at the dwarves' excited appearances, Jones also smiled: "Other people's slaves are very lazy and have to be whipped with whips. You see, my slaves are very diligent, and they will even ask me to work on their own. ”

"That's because Master Jones is willing to pay. Dora smiled and said, "No slave owner would want to pay a slave, and if they do, why don't they hire a servant?" ”

Jones suddenly thought of something and said, "I seemed to be ...... before You were never paid. ”

Dora hurriedly shook her head: "Dora doesn't need money, Dora doesn't redeem herself." Dora can follow Master Jones for the rest of her life. ”

Those eyes seemed to radiate light.

Jones was stunned.

In fact, to put it bluntly, building a toilet is very simple, it is to dig a canal and bring the water from the moat into the castle hall, so that the excrement of the hydra can be washed away by the current.

In the blink of an eye, four days had passed since Hilde's return, and although the original dilapidated castle had hardly changed from the outside, the interior had been cleaned up very comfortably. It's really like a Blood Lord's castle.

Standing in front of his castle, Jones looked proud and happily paid the fifteen gold coins.

The dwarves were also happy, because they had not yet started mining gold, and they had already begun to save up money to restore their freedom. The whole territory can be described as happy.

......

At dawn, Jones and Dora turned into bats and staggered in the direction of their home.

"Is there anything else I have to do? I can't help much with exploration and mining. The next thing is to wait for Adolf to send someone over. ”

"When will Master Adolf send someone over?"

"I don't know, he said it would take a little time to prepare. It should be soon, though. He told me to go to him at the next fraternity meeting, and it should be ready. ”

"Where does he live?"

"Just live in Hilde. There shouldn't be any surprises, after all, he's so rich. For him, money is not a problem, and all we need is money. Just right. ”

"How can we thank him for helping us so much?"

"Actually, that's what I like the most. No. Because we make money together, making more money is the best thanks. If he directly lent me 200,000 gold coins, I wouldn't dare to ask for it. After all, it would be a favor, and I don't know how to pay it back. ”

Flapping his wings, Jones landed on his balcony.

The weather was not bad today, so Jones, who hadn't been home for four days, picked this day to come back, and he chose to pick the dawn because there was no day or night in the place where their house was.

However, as soon as he pushed open the balcony door, Jones was stunned. Because Jones' parents were both sitting in his room, looking at him with blank faces. Count Dracula still crossed his hands, and at first glance he saw that the comer was not good.

"Father, mother. I am back. Jones shouted, and then, silently, as Dora prepared to leave the room under the watchful eye of her parents.

"Stop. ”

Jones had no choice but to stop.

"Look back. ”

Jones had no choice but to turn around.

"Where have you been these days?"

"I'm ......," Jones said hesitantly, "I'm going, Adair's house." ”

"But the butler of Adair sent for you yesterday. The Countess said with a blank face.

Jones's heart suddenly chuckled and began to break out in a cold sweat.

Count Dracula said, "I've been looking for you for two days. I made an appointment to go to your Aunt Sarah's house today, but because I couldn't find you, I had to cancel. What the hell are you doing these days?"

Jones blinked, desperately trying to make an excuse, however, he couldn't think of it for a while, so he could only freeze.

Dora stood silently with her head down.

The countess then asked, "And, the werewolf." ”

She ...... What's wrong with her?"

"You didn't tell me she was worth 30,000 gold coins, but Adair's butler said you knew she was worth 30,000 gold coins. ”

Jones was taken aback: "Mother, you won't ...... Sold her, right?"

"What are you talking about? How could I possibly sell her for Adair's gift?" said the Countess angrily, "I mean, since you know that she is worth 30,000 gold coins, how can you let her live in a dungeon? What if I die?"

Jones silently wiped his sweat: "It's my fault, I'll go and prepare a new room for her now." ”

"No, I've got a new room for her. And new clothes, and food, I also ordered the kitchen. Such a valuable gift is handled casually, and I don't know what you think. You're in your seventies, can't you even handle this little thing?"

"Didn't you say you didn't like her?" asked Jones cautiously.

"But she's worth 30,000 gold coins. ”

"Didn't you say there wouldn't be a Bloodline with a werewolf as a pet?"

"But she's worth 30,000 gold coins, isn't that a good reason?" said the countess, spreading her hands, "and if you look closely, she looks pretty good." ”

Jones rolled his eyes quietly.

The Countess said worriedly, "I'm worried about what you should give to Adair for receiving such a valuable gift, and if you don't return the gift, will it make him think that we are uneducated people?" This may affect your friendship with him. And we can't come up with a gift worth 30,000 gold coins at all. ”

"Let's stop with this question for now. Count Dracula raised his hand and stopped, "We now have another more important problem, let's come one by one." ”

The Countess had no choice but to take it away, and motioned for Count Dracula to continue.

"What have you been doing these days, why haven't you been home for four days? I've checked with the kitchen that you haven't eaten the food prepared for you for four days. As he spoke, Count Dracula stared intently at Jones. It was as if the gaze was going straight over Jones.

Tell your parents that you borrowed more money than the whole family had to buy a castle and a bunch of dwarven slaves?

Jones was starting to break out in a cold sweat.

Count Dracula then asked, "You don't want to say it, do you, do you? If you don't, then you won't be allowed to go anywhere from this to-day onwards." Until you're willing to confess to me. ”

At this moment, Jones had a flash of inspiration and decided to string together the questions of the two parents. Looking at his mother, Jones said, "I ...... Running a castle for Adair. ”

"Help Adair run a castle?" the countess looked at Jones quizzically.

"Yes, we really can't return the gift with 30,000 gold coins. So, I thought I might as well do something for Adair. I helped him run the castle. I think he must have forgotten to tell his butler, so when he asked the butler to look for me, the butler came straight here. He didn't know I was in the new castle of Adair. After all, I received a gift of 30,000 gold coins from others, which is too valuable...... Well, so I've got to work harder, don't I......? I didn't go home for a few days. I even brought my armor with me so that I could work during the day. ”

At this moment, Jones couldn't help but be impressed by his cleverness. One lie, directly get two people! I have to say that he has been practicing the matter of lying to his parents for many years!

Of course, the result of deception is daily rollover. For example, now.

Count Dracula said expressionlessly: "Okay, take me to see the castle, I want to confirm it with my own eyes." The castle of Adair will not be left unto me, will it be when it gets dark? Also, your cousin is going with you, you shouldn't mind, right?"

Jones was stunned.
