Chapter 303

Today, this place was bound to be lively.

Because, not only did Ai Yi and You Lin come, but Vivian and the rest also came with them.

"You're really living here?"

Vivian looked at the mansion in front of her, still feeling a little incredulous.

"… Those nobles are definitely going to make a scene again."

Tierre said after remaining silent for a while.

Lumia and Merica, on the other hand, were already shocked by the luxurious mansion in front of them.

"It's … so big!"

"Are … Are we going to live here from now on?"

Both Lucia and Merica could not believe it, but they were also very excited.

Although they had heard Shien say it before, they still did not expect that Shien would really live in the center of the noble district, the mansion of Mithra the Brave.

This was something that even marquises and dukes could not do. Only a few kings had lived here for a period of time, and after that, it was owned by Rosie. They did not expect it to fall into Shien's hands.

At the thought that they were going to live here in the future, the women were naturally very emotional and uneasy.

After all, living here was not a small matter.

"Have you already started to form a knight group or personal army?"

Vivian asked in Shien's ear.

Shien was a little puzzled.

"Why do you want to form a knight group and personal army?" Shien said with some disinterest. "Don't you need money to feed so many people?"

Although viscounts had the right to form a thousand-man knight group and a ten-thousand-man army, not to mention viscounts, even marquises and dukes had to think carefully if they wanted to form a knight group or personal army.

This was because it meant that they would have to spend a huge amount of gold coins to feed so many people, and they would also have to train them.

This was not a small burden, especially for honorary nobles.

Honorary nobles had a higher degree of freedom, but compared to territorial nobles, their wealth was much lower.

After all, they controlled a territory, and as long as there were no problems in development, they could collect a large sum of money every day just from collecting taxes, not to mention the development of other businesses and businesses.

Therefore, usually, only territorial nobles had enough financial resources to support them to form a knight group and personal army. Honorary nobles, considering financial resources and the lack of territory to settle down, could at most form a personal guard or escort team of about a hundred people.

And Shien did not want to spend money to form a knight group or personal army.

In fact, many honorary nobles did not want to spend this money. Moreover, most of them lived in the capital or wandered around as freelancers. They did not have the thought of forming a group of knights or a personal army.

However …

"Are you sure you don't need it?" Tierre came closer and said to Shien with a frown, "At least recruit some people to maintain the security here, right? Do you want You to let You personally patrol at night? "

Stop joking, then You Lin would not need to rest.

Dragons were magical creatures that loved to sleep, and they would usually take a nap for a few days at a time. In history, there were many cases of people stealing the treasures guarded by a dragon while it was asleep, or simply attacking it while it was asleep. It was simply unrealistic to expect You Lin to guard such a large mansion all day long.

Therefore, it was still necessary to recruit some people.

Especially Shien, a viscount, who lived in the center of the noble district, there would definitely be no lack of trouble in the future.

Since that was the case, Sean needed someone to stand guard here all the more.

However …

"Why waste the money and material resources?" Shien shrugged and said, "Didn't you notice that I've already set up a barrier around this mansion?"

As soon as he said this, not only Vivian, Tierre, and Lumia, but even Merica, who had been looking around, had a look of realization.

"No wonder I felt that the flow of magic was a little strange. So there are so many barriers here?"

That's right, there were many barriers set up here.

"Alarm, expulsion, warning, resistance, automatic defense, and so on. As long as there are effects that I can think of, I've already cast them around this mansion as barriers. Even the surrounding walls and fences have been hardened and solidified by me. Ordinary people can't break in even if they want to, and even if they do, there are magic traps that will automatically attack them. If they can even break in, then what awaits them is You Lin."

The things that Shien revealed with a smile made them shiver all over.

Vivian and the others could already see the tragic end of those who planned to break in and cause trouble.

But …

"So … So many barriers have been set up, there must be an outstanding source of magic, right?" Merica said hesitantly. "Has Mr. Shien prepared the source of magic?"

This was something that had to be done.

Otherwise, when the magic used to set up the barriers was exhausted, the barriers would naturally lose their effectiveness.

This was also the case for the many magic characteristics that Shien had cast. Once the magic power used up, the effects would naturally disappear.

For this reason, all enchantments needed a source of mana to supply and maintain their effectiveness.

It could be some magic tools that could be used to supply magic power, or it could be magic crystals.

Magic crystals were originally used to produce all kinds of magic potions, magic tools, and even magic weapons. They themselves were the condensation of magic power, similar to the spring water of the Mana Source. However, spring water was liquid, while magic crystals were solid. The latter usually contained much more magic power than the former. Moreover, because magic crystals were solid, they wouldn't evaporate easily, unlike the spring water of the Mana Source, which would evaporate and disappear if not used for a period of time.

Because of this, a fortress with a barrier set up would most likely have a very high-quality magic crystal as the source of magic power to support the barrier.

For example, the magic power source of the barrier around the Royal Capital was located under the Royal Palace.

As for Shien …

"I have a ready-made one."

After saying so, Shien led everyone to a room on the top floor of the mansion.

In this room, there was a magic wand suspended in midair, constantly flowing magic power into the surroundings.

"Isn't this the magic wand that Sir Jasinta gave you?"

Seeing it, Vivian was slightly stunned, and then she was surprised.

"That fool gave it to you?"

Ai Yi also raised her eyebrows.

"That's right." Shien smiled and said, "This magic wand itself is embedded with a very high-grade magic crystal, and it has warning, detection, and even exorcism effects. Setting it here as the magic power source of the barrier will not only ensure the protection of the magic power, but the effect of the barrier will also be strengthened. It's killing two birds with one stone."

After that, Shien would have You Lin pay attention to this place, and even set up a magic spell that would immediately release magic power once someone intruded, alarming You Lin and summoning it over.

Even if Shien and You Lin were not around, and this mansion was completely empty, presumably, with so many barriers and this magic wand, it wouldn't be easy for anything to happen here, right?

"Indeed, there's no need for knights or guards."

Diyerre finally seemed to be relieved.

"Or rather, with so many high-level barriers and You Lin here, I'm afraid that only the palace can compare to the safety of this place."

Vivian did not know whether to laugh or cry.

But all in all, it was a good thing.

With such heavy protection, instead of worrying about intruders, it was better to worry about those who were not intruders, but guests, accidentally triggering some traps and causing them to be weakened by the protection system here.

"Don't worry, I've already set it up in advance. As long as it's someone who enters from the main entrance, 70% of the protection system here will bypass them."

Shien seemed to have seen through the worries in the hearts of the women, and he smiled thoughtfully.

"Of course, if they want to break into some place that they shouldn't, then it's another matter."

Obviously, the remaining 30% was used to entertain such people.

Vivian and the others could only observe a moment of silence for these ignorant people in the future.

"In short, everyone doesn't have to worry about the safety of this place."

Shien clapped his hands and turned to Lumia.

"This way, you won't have to worry about your younger sisters, right?"

Hearing this, Lumia put on a relieved and embarrassed expression.

It had to be mentioned here that Lumia had decided to stay in the Royal Capital.

And as previously agreed, her seven younger sisters would be brought to the Royal Capital and settled down here.

The time would be three months later.

Three months later, Lily would hand over her work on hand and return to the Royal Capital to try to manage the headquarters of the Adventurers Guild.

Initially, it would not be so fast, but Vivian had already written to Lily, saying that she would be staying here. Vivian's party would also be staying here. Even Shien had become a noble here, so the guild leader immediately said that he would be returning to the Royal Capital in advance.

When the time came, Lily would bring Lumia's younger sisters over.

As for these three months, Lily would still take care of Lumia's younger sisters.

In other words, after Shien was conferred the title of nobility, Vivian's party would be able to stay here.

By the way, Vivian would also be coming over.

Tierre, Lumia, and Merica were all here, and it did not make sense for her to be left alone in the Lazahad family.

So, Tierre and the others persuaded Vivian, and she finally agreed to move in.

Coupled with Ai Yi, the little girl who would naturally follow along, everyone who was staying with the Lazahad family would also move over.

"All that's left is La Xia's side."

Shien said.

At this moment …

"Don't worry, everything has been prepared."

La Xia appeared here like a ghost, giving everyone a fright.

"Please follow me, everyone."

La Xia did not pay attention to the frightened people, and after saying this expressionlessly, she brought them to the hall on the first floor of the mansion.

In this incomparably vast hall, it was unknown when, but it was actually filled with people.

"" Welcome, master! "" Welcome! "

"" Welcome! "" Welcome! "" Welcome! "" Welcome! "" Welcome! "" Welcome! "" Welcome! "" Welcome! "" Welcome! "" Welcome! "" Welcome! "" Welcome! "" Welcome! "" Welcome!

"Vivian's party was also stunned."

"Vivian's party" was also stunned.

Even Ai Yi had a stunned look on her face.

"Welcome!" Welcome! "Welcome!" Everyone subconsciously looked at La Xia.

"These are the maids and servants I've hired. I hope everyone is satisfied."

"La Xia explained very calmly, as if she had done something insignificant.

Everyone fell silent. "

Sean, on the other hand, only had two words to say.

"As expected, this maid is as awesome as ever."

The second sentence was much simpler.

"Well done."

"Well done."

This was a compliment. "" Welcome! "

Just like that, Shien's house was finally on the right track, and everything was properly arranged.

Under such circumstances, his conferral ceremony came quietly.
