Leon woke up to the sound of birds chirping, and he looked out through the window, and the transparent view made the morning mood very good.

The big house was on the side of the last row, and yesterday Jeff and Eric had gathered together in a room with the best view.

In the distance, a patch of green stretched to the end of the field of vision and merged with the pale blue sky, and a little closer was a large field of ripe grain, with a few people busy in the morning.

Those were the hired farmers who had stayed on the estate, rejuvenated after the excitement of the previous night, and got up early in the morning to take care of the grain. In a little more than a month, the grains will be harvested and sent to the mill, where they will become a delicious meal on everyone's table.

There are still a few people in the vegetable garden and the farm, the vegetable garden is better, but there are not many poultry left in the farm, but the faces of the people are still full of anticipation, because they know that Campbell finally has an orthodox lord, and the situation of the manor and the whole territory will definitely get better and better. It is estimated that soon there will be flocks of poultry on the farm, providing a steady stream of delicious meat for the people on the farm.

Leon retracted his gaze and walked out of the house, only to find that many people had already gotten up and were "visiting" the almost abandoned manor in the bright morning sun. Although Li Ang had a memory of the manor in his mind, he still circled around the neighborhood, took a general look at the current situation, and compared it with the impression in his memory.

Many of the large houses were so badly damaged that they had to be demolished and rebuilt if they were still to be inhabited, and the blacksmiths and apprentices were also killed in that tragedy, and most of the blacksmiths collapsed.

The waterwheel on the river has long been stagnant, you can see that the blades on it are missing a fan, and it is estimated that the internal axle has been damaged, and the river water turbulence has not been able to drive the waterwheel to rotate, just a slight "click" sound, it seems that some relevant professionals have to be found to repair.

There was nothing wrong with the well, but the warehouse not far from the well was almost an empty shelf, and some of the remaining stone slabs were still scorched by flames.

As for the ranch in the other direction, there is not even a single horse, it is estimated that some of them must have died with the knight master when the manor was destroyed, and the remaining horses are likely to have escaped after being frightened, and after two months, it can be said that there is no trace of it, and the said small ranch has been abandoned.

The only thing that didn't seem to have been damaged was the valley in the distance.

"It's devastating...... Leon sighed.

"Yes, the situation is not optimistic," Caterina's voice rang from the side.

The girls had already finished their circle and returned to the table that had not been put away after the party, and the young lord was sitting here leisurely looking at the scenery, as if he did not take his exclamation seriously.

Leon raised his head to look at the knight girl facing the sun, and immediately remembered the scene of the last night's separation in his mind - he gave each other a hug fiercely, and the touch of the two mixtures of softness and stiffness in his arms still has not been forgotten.

Caterina's face suddenly turned red, it seemed that she had thought of the same thing as Leon, but this time it was much better, and she continued with shyness: "The harvest moon is coming, and the manor must be restored to its best operations, at least the waterwheel and the mill must be repaired. ”

Caterina knew the importance of food to a territory, and she had asked the farmers and hired workers at the dinner yesterday - the warehouse had been burned down, and most of the stock in it had not been snatched up, so the food of the last days was a small amount of grain left in their respective families, and if it weren't for the fact that the grain was about to ripen, I really didn't know how to sustain it in a few days. That's why she had the building just now.

"Brother Leon, can I build a flower garden next to these houses?"

The sunlight fell on Sophia's long fluffy blond hair like a halo, reminding Leon of the moment he first met the two girls, which only happened two months ago, but gave him a feeling that a long time had passed.

"Feel free to do whatever you like. ”

This priest girl has a cute appearance like a doll, but she is a veritable rough nerve, and her thoughts are often completely different from others, and when she hears Leon's approval, she immediately runs to her favorite place, and seems to be planning how to realize her idea.

Leon smiled, and then continued with Katarina: "You can go to the villages and towns in the territory to send a notice, find a craftsman who can repair the waterwheel and build a house, and find a blacksmith by the way, preferably for a long time, money or anything is not a problem." ”

"Leave this matter to me," said Jeff, who volunteered to put up a poster for a small matter that didn't require too many people, and didn't require much strength.

As time passed, most of the people had gathered around the table at this time, and a morning chat gradually evolved into the first territorial meeting, and Jeff also noticed this trend, and immediately prepared a pen and paper to take detailed notes.

"The first step is to build a new workshop for Master Kaka......," Leon said, while a dozen people, including Old Jack and Sheriff Carey, listened intently to the young lord's conversation.

A formal alchemy workshop requires many compartments with different functions, but the only materials that can be easily accessed for civil engineering are wood from the nearby forest, and materials such as sand and gravel must have a quarry, so Leon plans to make a temporary wooden building transition first.

Campbell used to have a small semi-open quarry, located on the edge of a foothill near the Copperhelm Mountains, a little far away, and the production was not large, more than half a year ago because of many accidents abandoned by the old earl, the new quarry site is still in the planning, but then there was a tragedy and it is impossible to have a follow-up.

Surveying the site of the new quarry also requires professionals, and Leon decided to have time to take a look around the abandoned quarry to see if the previous accident was human or negligent, and if it could be resolved, wouldn't it save a lot of time to reopen it.

"Carey," Leon gave the sheriff of Locke the second task, "you are familiar with Campbell, so you don't need to go back for the time being, and go to the town of the territory with Jeff to issue a notice." ”

Carey immediately stood up and stroked his chest and made a formal salute to Leon as he accepted the lord's orders.

Leon waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and then said to the elven old man Singhal, who was sitting alone, "The task of fetching wood will be handed over to you, is there a problem?"

Singal followed Carey's example and made the same gesture to Leon.

The elves believe that trees and creatures are the same form of existence, which is a gift from the power of nature to the world, and they have always been disgusted by the massive felling of trees by humans, so the elves generally have a hostile and even hostile attitude towards humans.

However, Singer was originally a moderate among the elves, and in his opinion, he believed that the living environment and many habits of human beings need wood as raw materials, just as the elves will also use branches and planks to build tree houses, and the use of wood by human beings is their own needs, and it is not denied that some of them are endlessly cutting down forests for profit, but this part of the population is quite small, and it is not possible to blame all the sins on most of the other people because of them. In addition, Singal was targeted by both conservatives and radicals because he often insisted that he should communicate more with humans and even encourage elves to go out, so that he was eventually expelled from the Whispering Forest.

This time, Leon directly handed over the task of collecting wood to him, and a certain special feeling appeared in the elven old man's heart.

Did the other party give a casual order or did it do it out of respect for his own group?Why did a young boy seem to know the habits of elves very well?

"By the way," Leon said suddenly, "Luna and Il, the two of them don't need to go, and there is one more Ranger left, I may go to a few places in the near future, and I need them to follow." ”

Luna and Il are the two elves with the most potential for development, and Leon left them with the intention of taking them to hone in battle, as for leaving a ranger because of the lack of long-range shooters around him, and it can also be used to appease the other elves.

Singal also understood the other party's intentions, although he valued these two young elves very much, but if he wanted them to grow up quickly, fighting was indeed the most suitable way, and he also believed that Leon would focus on protecting Luna and Il, so he only agreed to the other party's request with a little groaning.
