After returning from the mountains near Gulu Ridge, two more days passed.

Lance's life changed a little. First, he did two more small tasks, and the experience value needed to upgrade the lord was extremely close to the critical point, and there was a maid next to Lance.

Everyone should know who this person is, it is actually not difficult to guess, it is Layla.

The braid with long brown hair combed into a big tail slid down her shoulder blades to her chest. Layla stood quietly at the door of the county chief's bedroom and took a deep breath. The black base liner and white apron made the girl look more mature than her actual age. Although her duty as a maid is dignified and rigorous, the 15-year-old girl showed more of a playful smell that matched her age.

Looking back now, the reason for this result started when Lance asked Layla.

"So Layla, do you have anything you want?"

Before this, Lance had given various rewards to others around him one after another, and now it was Layla's turn to this opportunity.

He looked at her quietly with a smile that seemed to be there.

There is such a handsome and beautiful person in this world. Layla was unconsciously attracted by the other party. At that moment, she felt that as long as she could see the county magistrate smiling at her, she would have nothing else to ask for.

However, this wish is a scam!

Of course she hoped to be closer to the young county magistrate, but she also knew very well that her identity was like a barrier between the county magistrate.

A nobleman like the county magistrate is naturally a good match and a daughter with a good match.

Thinking of this, Layla felt a little disappointed, and she didn't even hear the sound of Lance calling her beside her.

Fortunately, Lance always had enough patience when dealing with women, especially when he was in a good mood.

"Lella, Layla." He patted the girl on the shoulder and woke her up from the wandering world. "How are you?"

Layla was slightly stunned, but she soon realized that she had been distracted in front of Lance just now, her face blushed and blood leaked out, and she wanted to find a hole to crawl in: "Hug...sorry, Lord County!"

"It's okay, but have you figured out what reward you want?" Lance reiterated the question just now.

"I...I want..."

"Um?"

"Work for the county magistrate!"

Lance was stunned for a moment. He probably didn't think that the fight would be the requirement no matter how he predicted it.

"Well, I'm recruiting maids, and your words seem to be right, of course, a good salary."

The memories are finished.

Layla's forehead pressed against the wall and moaned quietly.

Why did I make such a request? I obviously have a lot of housework to do at home, but now I have entrusted it to Aunt Luo Wei. Although my younger brothers and sisters are very sensible, my father's body has gradually improved, but...

She couldn't come to be a maid, she didn't know how to serve the nobles at all. I heard that, I just heard that some of those girls seemed to have to sleep with their masters at night...

Just thinking about it, Layla's head was about to explode due to shyness.

But so far, there has been no such request once, although it only took two days for Layla to come to the county chief’s mansion.

Lance gave Layla some money to let her settle the family affairs, and then moved to the county magistrate's mansion with Aikir. Now, Layla is responsible for the food and clothing of Lance's three meals a day - he can't stand the thick-handed and thick-legged country aunts running to his bed early in the morning to wake him up, which would destroy Lance's good mood for the day.

Lance basically sleeps until after 8 o'clock every day, so Layla always prepares breakfast before this and wakes him up. However, when Layla pushes open the room today, Lance has already put on his own clothes.

Layla felt a little regretful when she couldn't see her master's sleeping position, but she smiled and said to the man bathed in the morning light: "Master Lance, you got up so early today."

In fact, it was not too early. For example, tenants who needed to go to the field to do farm work, hunters, and even Layla, all rose up when the light of the morning illuminated the land. This statement only suited the nobles like Lance. However, this is not ironic. Just from the warm eyes of Layla looking at Lance, she could clearly show that her favorable feelings for the county magistrate was revealed.

Anyone can see this, and Lance is no exception, but he just thought this seemed quite interesting and did not mean to be a single move.

He nodded at Layla, affirming her statement: "Egil and I are going out today, and he has found a suitable location for building the canal."

Lance said it lightly, but Layla was aware that this matter was of great significance to Lance.

She actually doesn't understand these things very well. How much knowledge do you expect a country girl who has never left Gululing in her life can have?

She just smiled and said, "Sir, breakfast is ready."

Lance nodded. He was not going to discuss work with Layla, he just mentioned it casually.

However, this is not a test.

Although in his opinion, Layla is a girl who is full of affection and pity for him, you should know that the best disguise and true feelings are just a line between them, and the meanings of the two are completely opposite. He is such a person, so he is always full of distrust of others.

This is undoubtedly sad, but Lance already knew that when he chose this path for himself, his life could not be turned back and could only go on in a dark way.

Thinking of this, Lance smiled self-deprecatingly, but he responded to Layla: "Okay, I get it, Layla, having you here is really a big help."

This is not a polite statement.

Compared with those stupid people with thick hands and stupid mouths, Layla, a smart and capable girl, is really much more likable.

Nowadays, Lance has just arrived in Gulu Ridge and has many positions under his command, but he lacks competent personnel everywhere. If Lance can still endure some material things, but you have to let a dandy who is used to being rich and frugal in such a remote place without even a servant to do it. Will everything be self-reliant, and will the initial difficulty be too high? Fortunately, Layla is careful and outstanding in this regard. Lance handed over the chores in her life to her, and everything was handled in an orderly manner.

If housework and miscellaneous items are also rated, Layla's attribute column should have ratings like [Housework B], but Lance did not find anything else in her skill column.

Maybe she was just an ordinary girl, Lance thought.

Next, Lance had breakfast and invited Aikil to have a meal together. Although it was not as luxurious as the luxury of the Lords Castle, it has to be said that these soft and delicious white bread and bacon were extremely rich, and were already considered the highest-level treatment in Guruling. Aikil naturally praised this, and Lance also felt that the pot made of black steel was sticky and could not tell what kind of ingredients it was inside.

After the meal, the two brought a group of guards to do the main business. As Lance mentioned earlier, after two days of field investigation, Aikir had already selected the location to build the reservoir. Now he took Lance with him to make the final confirmation.

However, when it comes to Lance, he feels that his opinions are not important, because he doesn't understand these at all. What he is really interested in is actually the matter behind the site selection.

Aikir and Lance traveled together in the dragon car, and soon arrived at the mountains south of Guruling (Guruling was surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one road around the woods, and the area of ​​the village was only one twenty of that of Guruling). However, this area was different from the small villages built by Layla and Bolun and the others on the mountain, and they were completely uninhabited. In contrast, the original style was rich, with lush branches and leaves, and frequent wild animals. It took Lance and the others a lot of effort to find a way to enter the mountain. It took more than an hour to find the place Aikir mentioned.

Such a place may not even make people sleep well. At night, wild beasts may come to take the person away. However, as a place to build a reservoir, it is a good place. The steep environment can turn it into a natural mountain stream, saving the cost and difficulty of digging mountains and digging canals and just guide it directly on the mountainside. The most important point is that the soil here is thicker, unlike the gravel-covered soil layer in the west, which can effectively prevent the loss of moisture.

When Aikil kept explaining the reasons for the site selection to Lance, Lance didn't listen much. He just needed to understand that this place was good. The most important thing was that the canal construction IV in Lance's internal affairs had changed and was updated to become canal construction V.

Gululing is severely drought and has a shortage of water in the fields. Now, you have a brand new solution.

(Conditions: 50,000 gold funds are required, 500 corvee personnel are required, professional talents at the level of engineering B and above are supervised, Shui Jiao)

When Lance saw it, he was overjoyed and there was no time to listen to Aikil's nonsense. He had to stop in front of the project because the project cost was huge and he could not afford it. But now after moving the area, not only has the funds been reduced to one tenth of the original, but the amount of labor required for labor has also been greatly reduced. It seems that it is indeed a genius creativity to bring the area closer and reduce the construction length.

However, all this has to be based on the [Water Dragon] card you own.

Lance had almost no hesitation. He directly sacrificed the card [Water Dragon] and summoned it in public. Because it was another new day, Lance was filled with magic crystals, and he spent 7 of them to summon the Water Dragon into the field.

The huge water dragon suddenly appeared in everyone's sight. Although most of the guards and Aikil now knew that the originally ferocious spirit beast had become a pet raised by their owners, the huge figure more than 30 meters still made everyone present feel oppressed.

It is worth mentioning that the water dragon's summoning water source is its passive skill. As long as the water dragon is present, water will naturally gush out of the earth's veins, nourishing the land and converging into a spring. However, it is obvious that Lance is not such a patient person.

"Shui Jiao, fill me the reservoir here!"

After Lance's order, the crystal on the water dragon's forehead began to shine, and then the scene was no longer the soft scene of the surfing of spring water, but it was like a sudden digging of water veins from the ground, with fountains breaking out of the ground everywhere.

Lance sniffed with his nose, and the smell of sulfur was filled with the air - this was not surprising. After all, this place was an abyss. Compared with the River of Flame, the sulfur reserves contained here were not worth mentioning at all, but Lance's mind became active. Maybe he could build a hot spring here in the future.

However, this is not the focus of discussion now. Aikil and several Lance's guards present were stunned by the magnificent scene. Lance ignored them. He then took out another card in his card system.

Since there is this card and the cost of this construction period is not too large (compared to before), Lance decided to try its effect.

Summon [Goblin Quick Construction Squad].
