In the courtyard of the mansion on a sunny day, outside the grassy main entrance, Charlene was lying on a white canvas chaise longue, her body clinging to the wavy back of the chair, her eyes lowered, and she looked like she was sleeping.

Bathed in the warmth of the sun, the Earl's Court surrounded by flower plates is full of tranquil and tranquil taste, beautiful as a picture scroll, and the occasional ghost maid entering and exiting the courtyard of the mansion makes a little wave in this painting.

There was peace and quiet inside the walls of the courtyard, but outside the walls there was a rumbling chaos. Under the watchful eye of Miss Headless Horseman, the poor jack-o-lanterns carried heavy stones from the abandoned stone pit in the distance to the periphery of the courtyard, and the slightest slower movement was like a leather whip.

Despite Bag's conscientious duties, these resentful spirits have no hands or feet, and the mining is all based on the arch of the skull, and the speed can be seen, and after tossing and turning all night, more than 9,000 stone bricks have been moved, which is really inefficient.

Seeing this scene, Charlene, who had been guarding all night, also had a headache, these more than 300 pumpkin lanterns were simply waste, and they were not capable of the ghost maid in the mansion.

"How's Albert?" she said, turning her gaze to the stone beast head on the armrest.

"Dear Madam...... Stupid Albert said... He would rather die than give in. Sebastian muttered vigorously as he chewed vigorously.

"Die, of course you can't let him die! After chewing for so long and it doesn't work, I think you should try another punishment. ”

Charlene is also extremely dissatisfied with its work efficiency, the stone head is the stone head, there is no progress after tossing all night, and she doesn't know how to change it.

Sebastian then stopped chewing and pondered for a long time. The green light in his eyes suddenly lit up. Suddenly spit Albert out.

Wraiths were tortured all night. Almost exhausted, he suddenly breathed in fresh air, and subconsciously rushed forward, trying to be free.

However, before it could escape far, the stone beast head took another big mouthful, sucked it into its mouth, chewed it twice, and spit it out...... Sucked it back again...... Spit it out...... Suck it back......

“......”

The green-haired girl thought it was a good idea. Although it is a little disgusting, it is the most exhausting of the will.

Just as she was about to compliment Sebastian, there was a slight tremor on the ground, not the sudden shaking of a heavy object falling to the ground, but a dense tremor similar to that of an animal stepping on the ground as it migrated.

Charlene stood, got out of her chaise longue, and walked briskly to the outside of the courtyard, standing on top of a hill of rocks and looking out into the wilderness in the distance.

I saw that there was a moving forest with black pressure there, and a large number of tree trunks showed facial features of the dryad. It was like a river rushing to the lord's mansion. At the front of the line were indeed giant white mushrooms, almost a head taller than normal people. Shaking the cap in a cute manner, he moved forward slowly.

They weren't in a tight line, they were just a long line moving side by side, and the figure at the head of the line was Yare, who had disappeared all night.

It's finally back...... But what's going on?

She pressed the question in her heart first, combed the short hair on the side of her face with her fingers, skillfully tied it up with a hairpin, took out the makeup mirror in her pocket, and carefully examined her face.

Very good, beautiful!

Sure that her beauty was still flawless, Charlene quickly retracted her makeup mirror, stretched out her slender white arm, and began to wave to the black-haired knight from a distance.

With a knowing smile, Areley returned to the front of the courtyard before the slowly moving woods.

"What are these...... That's a lot of mushrooms!"

Looking at the huge white mushrooms, the green-haired girl showed a covetous expression and subconsciously licked her thin lips.

Seeing Charlene's expression, the black-haired knight subconsciously recalled the scene where she snatched the poisonous mushroom, and hurriedly warned: "These are all unexpected gains I got from the old dryad, the mushroom is called cigar mushroom, although it is not poisonous, but it cannot be eaten indiscriminately!"

"Why?" Charlene immediately raised her voice, revealing an aggrieved expression.

"Because this is a tax that I have worked so hard to collect, it should be used as labor to build the territory, and if you eat one, you will lose one, and there must be no loss. Yalei continued to warn sternly.

"If you can't eat it, you can't eat it......" She glanced at the mushroom group regretfully, and said unwillingly.

The black-haired knight had excellent eyesight, and from a long distance, he saw the scene of the stone beast head repeatedly swallowing Albert in the position of the armrest of the chaise longue, and immediately frowned:

"Hasn't Sebastian tortured yet?"

"Give it a little more time, that guy just came up with a new trick, and I'm sure Albert won't last long. Charlene comforted him with a smile, looked at the moving forest in front of her, and continued to ask curiously:

"What is the old dryad, and why are you given so much labor?"

"It is the source of the curse of the Dryad's curse, in the form of a tall old pine tree, with no ill will towards us for the time being. I took advantage of the dryad's gathering to dance, and slashed it with a sword while it was unprepared, and then mentioned the matter of labor tax deductions, but I didn't expect it to be directly discussed. ”

Yalei said to her with some pride, of course he knew that the old dryad's weakness was not because of his eloquence, but because the sword cut it pain.

"I don't know if they're dry, but they look at least a lot bigger than the pumpkins. ”

Charlene took a long breath, pointed to the jack-o'-lantern that was swaying and fluttering at the stones, and said with some joy: "If you rely on them alone, I don't think it's as fast as the two of us coming together." ”

"It's a stone mine over there, did you find it?" he looked at where the jack-o'-lantern was coming from.

"Thanks to two gargoyles, they are naturally sensitive to stone. ”

"I see. Arei suddenly came to his senses, he didn't expect that the casually hired gargoyle would be of such use.

"Now that you have an abundant workforce, how are you going to plan your territory?"

"Dig the river and lead the stream first, and feed these baby bumps, huh...... Just dig a moat first, and then build a city around the river, it doesn't need to be too big, just protect the Earl's Palace. ”

"Aren't you going to visit the Dead Spring?" Charlene looked relieved.

"Not for the time being, judging from the dryad's attitude towards me, the source of the curse is not necessarily malicious towards me, if the Fountain of Death is concerned, at least wait for Sebastian to squeeze information out of Albert's mouth before making plans. ”

Yalei took off the kettle, took a sip, touched his belly, and looked at the green-haired girl: "I haven't eaten all night, I'm a little hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

"I'll let them do it for you. Charlene said as she touched the ruby ring.

"No need, give me some jerky, I'll have to settle these dryads by the lake and start digging the river now. (To be continued......)
