Emma's question

Four hundred gold coins was a relatively large sum even for the middle-level nobles. As a puppet castellan, 30% of the profits was 400 gold coins. It seemed that the castellan's wealth wasn't small at all.

However, this didn't have much to do with Beta. He pointed at the middle-aged lady and said, "Your wife is here. I didn't touch her. I swear on my reputation."

Since Cleveland had given him 30% of the profits as agreed, Beta felt that he could deal with him. Since the other party was trustworthy, he naturally had to explain about the middle-aged lady so that she wouldn't hold a grudge against him when they continued to work together in the future.

Although Cleveland's expression didn't change much when he saw his wife standing there safe and sound, anyone could tell that he was much happier. Perhaps his family was more important in Cleveland's eyes, but it didn't mean that he didn't have feelings for his wife. It was just a difference of importance.

Four chests of gold coins were placed on the ground. Cleveland gave Beta a greeting greeting between nobles, then smiled and said, "Your Excellency, our deal has been completed. Now I'm going to take my wife with me. Do you have any objections?"

Beta nodded and said, "We're done. I hope we'll have better opportunities to work together in the future."

With a grateful smile, Cleveland left with his wife. The middle-aged lady was still in a daze. However, she could tell that her husband seemed to have reached an agreement with this Sir Beta in private.

She was very glad that she didn't tell anyone, but for some reason, she also felt a little regretful.

The four chests of gold coins were thrown into the space. Then, Beta checked out with Shirley and Jessica and got on the carriage.

As the coachman, Cyril had already changed out of his noble young master attire and into a long linen robe. Even though he still didn't look like a coachman, at the very least, he had the mindset to serve his master seriously for 10 years.

This time, Beta and the others didn't encounter any accidents, and they arrived at the wetland very smoothly.

At this time, Lloyd had already brought people to the place designated by Beta and built a short bungalow. According to Beta's instructions, they had also dug a good drainage ditch nearby.

As a modern person on Earth, Beta could endure hardships and be poor, but he couldn't stand the place where he lived, where dirty water flowed.

The carriage swayed as it arrived in front of the bungalow. The quick-witted Lloyd was already there with a few people to welcome them.

Beta looked at the newly built bungalows from the carriage and nodded in satisfaction. He knew that the slaves he had bought hadn't been lazy.

As soon as he got out of the car, Lloyd led his men to greet him and then knelt down.

When slaves met their masters, they had to behave like this. Otherwise, they would be criticized. A beating was the lightest punishment, and they might even lose their heads.

Beta got off the carriage and said to Lloyd, "You guys did a good job. Since you've finished your work ahead of time, you should rest for a few days. If there's no more food, continue to buy more. "

"Thank you, kind master." Lloyd was slightly surprised. Since when did slaves have time to rest? But since their master was willing to grant them a gift, they naturally accepted it gladly. "There's enough food for now. Thank you for your concern, master. Master, you should go to your residence now. A special guest is looking for you. "

A special guest?

Betta and Shirley glanced at each other and then led Jessica to a building that was obviously taller than the others.

The castle hadn't been built yet. This was a temporary residence that Beta asked Lloyd to make.

Cyril, on the other hand, drove the carriage to a shabby stable. He rubbed his hands and followed them. Although he was a professional, he was still too weak. Such a cold and windy environment would still affect him to some extent.

Beta and Shirley quickly came to the Earth Embryo House and observed the rough workmanship, but the quality of the house was not bad, before they slowly walked in.

It was a world of ice and snow outside, but it was as warm as spring inside the building. Only magic could achieve such a feat.

The most capable of the slaves was Lloyd, but he was only literate. It was impossible for him to know magic. Beta saw a magic array scroll on the floor of the room, which was emitting warm air.

A wind magic scroll? Could it be?

Just when Betta had the answer in his heart, the so-called guest had already walked down from the second floor.

She had short brown hair that reached her ears, an extremely beautiful little face, and an ordinary figure.

Beta was slightly surprised to see her. "Oh my god, why are you here?"

The beautiful girl slowly walked down from the second floor. She was still wearing the very short white dress of the Church of Storm. Looking up from below, one could see her beautiful straight legs. They looked slim and smooth, but also strangely alluring.

"I haven't seen you for a while, so I'm here to visit." The girl's face blossomed when she saw Beta. She smiled like the warm sun in winter. "I heard that you were going to build a city in the wetland. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to finish it, but it seems that I was too worried."

Beta observed Emma and then fixed his eyes on her chest for two seconds before he said slowly, "I haven't seen you for more than a year, but you haven't changed at all."

Emma somehow felt that he was teasing her. She said coquettishly, "I haven't seen you for a year, and you're already talking like this? That's too cold. "

"Do you want a hug?" Betta also laughed. Between them, they were friends and comrades-in-arms. They belonged to the kind of relationship where they could trust each other with their backs, so it was very normal for them to joke around.

Emma blushed, but she opened her hands fearlessly and said with her head raised, "Come on."

If the nobles who were into lolies saw her, they would definitely be hot blooded. But Beta didn't have much of a reaction. He was a bun enjoyer, so he wasn't interested in Emma's flat body.

Beta walked over, patted Emma's head, and then sat down. "Have a seat. How have you been in the past year?"

"I'm not a child." Emma touched her hair helplessly. She enjoyed Beta's intimate behavior, but when she thought that he still treated her like a child, she felt a little dejected. But as a royal princess, she still politely greeted her rival in love, Shirley, and then sat down. "It's been okay. Because I've left the capital, Big Brother is more at ease with me. As long as I don't fight with him for the throne, I'll be fine."

Shirley sat next to Beta. She was very close, and then smiled at Emma. No matter how you looked at it, there was a hint of provocation in it.

Seeing this, Emma's eyes were a little unhappy, but she still calmly continued, "I heard a few days ago that you were here in the wetlands, preparing to build a city. If there's anything you need help with, just tell me."

The girl's eyes were very beautiful, and her expression was as gentle as water. Beta stared at her for about three seconds before he said, "Did you hear something?"

Emma was slightly taken aback, and then she smiled bitterly. "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you."

She paused, as if weighing her words. "There are a lot of magic materials under the wetlands. Actually, many noble families know about this, but it's too difficult to mine, so they don't do anything. They're afraid that the things they've spent a lot of effort to mine will be stolen by others."

"So now I'm a fat piece of meat in other people's eyes, and when the city is built, someone will attack me?"

Emma was a little surprised. "You guessed that this would happen? If that's the case, why are you still building the city now? "

Ever since Beta learned that many things in the game would be reflected in the real world, he knew that the secret of the wetlands was definitely known by many people. But he still chose this place as his territory, simply because he was confident in himself that he could defend this place and not let others rob him of the fruits of his labor.

"Thank you for coming to remind me in person," said Beta sincerely. "But it's really not a big deal. After all, I'm not an ordinary, powerless noble who can be trampled on. "

Emma smiled when she thought about it. Beta dared to go against her brother, the future king at that time. He wasn't even afraid of the royal family, so why would he be afraid of the ordinary noble families?

"I know you're strong, but you still have to be careful. After all, ants can kill an elephant."

"One elephant is naturally easy to be bitten to death by a large number of ants, but what if there's a herd of elephants?" Beta smiled. "Me, Shirley, Grinton, Kail, and the Church of Woking are united. It won't be as simple as one elephant, but a herd of elephants."

Looking at Beta who was full of confidence, Emma smiled casually and said, "Count me in."

"You're the Holy Lady of the Church of Storm." Beta asked in confusion, "I'm a member of the Church of Woking. If you get too close to me, it won't be good for your future."

"I'm just a Holy Lady. It's not a big deal. I don't care if I'm one really."

Perhaps only Emma would be able to say such words among women. Being a Holy Lady was the dream of almost all women, because being a Holy Lady was the highest achievement that all women could achieve when they were young. The only thing that could compare to it was probably the identity of a queen.

"If you really give up the title of Holy Lady, I think the Church of Storm will come after me." Beta put on a helpless expression.

Emma smiled, then pretended to be nonchalant as she asked, "If one day I really step down from the position of Saintess, will you shelter me and protect me?"
