(Second update!)

After looking at the terrain of the small manor for a while, Donald and the butler turned around and got on the carriage and went to see the original Lord's Corps, the current large manor.

When he arrived at the place, Donald realized that the situation was a little worse than what Sir Jesse said.

I saw that the vast and deserted land was all over the place, and even the weeds grew badly here, making them look gray and yellow.

Although the area of ​​this wasteland is almost equal to half a red maple baron, the desolate and dry land makes its value worthless.

"No wonder I have to match this place to betray it. The guys from the royal family and the noble council are indeed good plans! If I hadn't bought the place, if anyone else would have bought it, they would have to be redeemed by the royal family at a low price and be prepared to sell it to the next sucker again!"

Donald squatted down and grabbed a handful of wasteland and looked carefully. He found that the soil layer that was supposed to be soft and fertile soil has now become gray and white sand soil similar to the barren sandstone area. In natural environment, it is obvious that it is impossible to weather this situation, and there is no Gobi desert around it, which is obvious in just a few decades.

"Is it a human disaster or a certain monster?"

Donald, who had no actual evidence, could not tell, but the transformation on this land was not formed naturally, but he had already confirmed it.

Although it is troublesome to solve this phenomenon, it is not impossible to do it. The problem is that if this happens again after he solves the problem of land fertilizer quality, wouldn’t it be useless?

So Donald decided to temporarily shelve the large manor and focus on managing the small manor first. When we find the root cause of the abnormal changes here, we will solve it completely!

"Anyway, the small manor is not small anymore, enough for me to work for a while."

Thinking of this, Donald assigned Cod a task and asked the coachman to drive him to the town in a carriage. He himself got off at the small manor halfway and prepared to design a plan for the solemn future. When the butler returned here again, he might be shocked!

Thinking of it, Donald couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that the carriage was carrying the housekeeper away, Donald summoned an owl first and patrolled around the manor. After confirming that no one existed, Donald walked to the center of the manor and opened the Book of Truth.

Through the owl's perspective, Donald roughly understands the terrain of the small manor.

The area of ​​the small manor is only about fifty acres, but most of it is fertile land for cultivation.

"Well! You can summon the farm here,..., you can build fences here to raise livestock,..., it is more suitable for grazing here,..."

After some planning and remembering the specific situation in his mind, Donald summoned a war horse, and for the sake of his butt, he spent some energy stored in the Book of Truth to summon the saddle, and then rode back to the direction of Red Maple Town. Anyway, no one saw it nearby, so he was not afraid of shocking the world and causing any panic.

After returning home, Kod had not come back yet. It seemed that he had gone to do what he ordered.

Before, at the manor, Donald ordered Cod to do something, which was to purchase something in the town.

First, because the manor is newly built, it will definitely require a lot of materials for construction, and second, it is also to deliberately spread the news that he has become a mage apprentice.

Donald intentionally let Kod spread the news that he had obtained the mage profession, with the purpose of naturally increasing his reputation and popularity. Although this will be exposed to the eyes of those who are interested, it will also reduce a lot of trouble. At least under the shock of his dual identities of aristocratic heir and a mage apprentice, some guys who are hostile to him dare not take any action easily.

You should know that as one of the former local powerful nobles, the Melina family still had some enemies. They must be very happy to let the name Melina completely disappear in history. All they need to do is to break the blood relationship between the Melina family.

The original master and servant Donald suffered a lot over the years. It was not until they sold their last property and moved to Hongfeng Town that this situation improved a little. Because the relationship between the Redfeng Baron and the Melinna family was once relatively close, foreign forces did not dare to do too much in his territory.

But it's not a good feeling to live under someone else's roof, especially for Donald, who is determined to restore his family's glory and grow it.

But now this situation has been resolved. As Donald expected, after the butler Keder held a large gold coins in Kingsol, he purchased them in the town, and pulled them back to the yard to stack them.

At present, many people in the town know that the young master of the Melina family is already a noble mage apprentice, and it is a foregone conclusion that he successfully inherited the identity of a family knight. Moreover, the quasi-knight and quasi-mage also bought two manors at once. It seems that the days when the Melina family rises again are not far away.

As the lord of the Red Maple Town that ruled a town, the Red Maple House naturally has the most knowledgeable ears in the town under its jurisdiction. The news of a mage apprentice in the town immediately reached the ears of the Red Maple.

A mage appeared in his own town. Although he was just an apprentice, considering the other party's age and noble status, this had to make the Baron pay attention to it.

After thinking about it for a while, Baron Red Maple summoned the housekeeper, wrote an invitation letter, and sent him to Donald's mansion.

Two hours later, Donald, who had finished meditation, walked out of the room and looked at the surroundings of various building materials and supplies that were almost filled with the yard. Donald was very satisfied with his housekeeper's speed.

Kod, who had finished what he ordered, was in the yard at this time. He brought back an invitation from the noble, with the mark of the red maple leaf on it, which was the family emblem of the lord Red Maple Baron here.

"Baron Red Maple? He knew it very quickly, but what does it mean to invite me over? Do you want to have an idea of ​​hitting my manor?"

Holding the exquisite gold-inlaid invitation letter turned around in his hand, Donald asked himself in a little puzzled manner.

After all, he was just a seventeen-year-old boy and was an otaku in his previous life. He didn't know much about some of the nobles' ideas.

The butler Ke De had some understanding of this aspect, and he said to his young master who couldn't understand:

"Young Master, I think there should be no malice inviting you to Baron Red Maple to invite you. Master, you are not only hereditary title, but also a formal apprentice of the mage. He is also attracted by the first mage of North County, Master Messel, and his future development is limitless. In the past, Baron Red Maple never invited you because the young master was just a devastating nobleman without a foundation. He was able to allow our Meliner family to gain a foothold in his territory, which was considered as the relationship between the two families back then! Now that the young master has a noble identity and strength, it is very normal for the other party to get close to you!"

After hearing the butler's explanation, Donald understood it, but his impression of Baron Red Maple is neither good nor bad. He was grateful that he could take him in when he was in a downturn. Although he did not provide financial help, allowing them to settle in Red Maple Town was a disguised shelter. On the other hand, he was also deeply dissatisfied with the other party's failure to give any help in the Merlina family when the Melina family was in crisis, which caused the Merlina family to fall soon. Not only was the territory taken away, but his grandfather, father and even mother also died. This made Donald deeply dissatisfied with this former Merlina family allies from the bottom of his heart.

Indeed, it is rumored that this Baron Red Maple is more utilitarian and will not do anything without benefits. But people have feelings. When the Melina family was hit, the other party's power was only better than the Baron Red Maple, a local noble. If he had his help, the Melina family would have a great chance to save at least half of its territory and would not weaken to its current level. And helping them with the Melina family would not have much loss for the Baron Red Maple, at most some money would be lost.

If it were other nobles, it would be very likely that they would help, but Baron Red Maple did not do that. This shows the character of this person. Donald has summarized it in his heart as a type of person who is not suitable for deep friendship.

So, Donald was a little hesitant about this invitation.

"Uncle Kod, do you think I'm going to invite me or not?"

The housekeeper thought for three seconds and then replied:

"Go! Of course you have to go! At least that Baron can accept us living in the town, which is a kindness. The young master can go and see what the other party is doing, and find an opportunity to repay this favor! Besides, although our Melina family currently has hope of rising, it still has not recovered the lost territory. Without territory, there is no foundation. The manor cannot recruit people from the family. So if you make a better relationship with Baron Red Maple, you can also use his power to shock some enemies of the Melina family back then! Otherwise, they will definitely use their means to hinder the development of the young master!"

When Donald heard this, a divine light flashed in his eyes and said coldly:
Chapter completed!
