Although they did not have more manpower to use, Ellington's development was very stable under the reasonable arrangement of the available manpower. The new city district had mostly taken shape, and it was equipped with complete living facilities.
For example, the daily garbage collection, underground sewage system, water works, street greening projects, and so on. With these complete living facilities, the residents of Ellington had already enjoyed a heavenly life.
Under such circumstances, Lord Twain, who had led them to prosperity, was of course even more supportive and worshipful of him. They were especially motivated to work. Every morning, the residents of Ellington could be seen riding their bicycles in groups of three to five as they rushed to work in the industrial zone.
With their enthusiasm, the efficiency of production also increased by a lot. The Tang Magic Machine Factory could now steadily produce 30 combined harvesters every day. The first batch of 100 combined harvesters that Lawrence had promised Frank had been delivered long ago, and they were driven back by the people sent by Lawrence.
The remaining 2100 combined harvesters could also be completed a few days earlier than scheduled. After confirming the production capacity, Fiona decisively redistributed the production line to focus on the production of bicycles.
Bicycles would be the highlight of the Glorious Ceremony, and it could be expected that it would lead to a new sales boom, so they had to be well prepared.
Tang En had long expected this, so he worked overtime with Brian, Edgar, and Nokia to build a few corresponding production lines. The assembly was surprisingly efficient.
"With this, we should be able to deal with the buying frenzy after the Glorious Ceremony."
Fiona pinched the space between her eyebrows, looking tired. "Apart from Alinx, the main markets of the Datang Chamber of Commerce are Kasparmie Castle, the mountain city of Bein, and Preston. Winchester and Paganis, which are slightly further away, do not have enough influence. On one hand, we are limited by the transportation capacity, and on the other hand, we do not have enough management staff."
"Give the appropriate authority to the people below."
Tang En smiled. "If you hold everything in your hands, you will only tire yourself out."
"Do you think everyone is as heartless as you?"
Fiona said angrily, "If it weren't for your strength and fearlessness, with your attitude, you wouldn't even know what happened if you were betrayed."
What Fiona said was the truth. She knew very well how terrible a person could be when they were greedy. Therefore, she had to have all the reliable information about those people. She had to reward them well and punish them strictly. Otherwise, once they were encouraged to be greedy, there would be no end of trouble.
On the other hand, the real big boss, Tang En, was much more relaxed. Usually, he would just wander around. Today, he would check on the training of Elsa's guards. Tomorrow, he would accompany Elijah to practice magic. The day after, he would go to the beautiful elf artist Clover's place to read her comics. He would only help out when he was in a good mood. He was simply the worst boss.
However, Fiona had to admit that although Tang En was a very bad boss to his subordinates, he was a very qualified boss as a boss.
At least, he was never stingy with the employees who worked for him.
"Speaking of which, you asked me for a magic book last time, but I don't think you've ever practiced magic."
Looking at the puzzled Tang En, Fiona said weakly, "I'm so busy every day. How can I have the time to practice magic?"
Let's not talk about how embarrassed she was when she was mistaken for asking for a magic book when she asked for a kiss last time. Let's talk about practicing magic.
Elijah was practicing magic, and you were both a teacher and a target. At the same time, you were also taking care of playing with her all day long.
But what about me?
I could only face a dry and boring magic book when I practiced magic. I didn't even have a teacher. There were only some inexplicable insights and experiences for me to comprehend … What the hell was comprehending!
Was there such a difference in treatment!?
After reading for so long, Fiona's magic level had only just reached the level of an apprentice. She could cast level zero spells stably, and could barely cast level one spells.
Of course, Fiona couldn't say these words to Tang En.
In public, Tang En was the lord and her boss. In private, he was neither her husband nor lover. On the contrary, he was her savior.
How could she say these words?
"That's true … Show me the spell you're best at."
Tang En gestured to Fiona to demonstrate.
"Well … Okay."
It was rare for Tang En to care about her. After hesitating for a moment, Fiona put down the pen and paper in her hand, took a deep breath, emptied her mind, and quickly mobilized the magic power in her body.
Her right hand sketched a rune in the air and chanted a few monosyllabic words in a low voice. Her fingertips bloomed with a faint glow of magic power, and then she gently tapped on her chest …
"Cleanse …"
Tang En looked at Fiona weakly. "Is this what you're best at?"
Fiona blushed slightly. "Because it's very convenient. There's also a water-making spell …"
"Because it's convenient to take a bath?"
"… Well …"
"… It's a pity that you're not called Jingxiang."
"Huh?"
"What offensive spells have you mastered now?"
Fiona said a little awkwardly, "Level zero Arcane Arrow, level one … Fireball and Frost Arrow are a bit difficult, but I've mastered Hand of Magic. Are they offensive spells?"
Tang En thought for a moment and nodded. "Somewhat."
After becoming stronger, Hand of Magic could indeed easily crush weaker enemies, and it had many ingenious uses. It could be considered an offensive spell for the time being.
"Release it on me. Let me check."
"Okay!"
Fiona took a deep breath and her face became very serious. She raised her right hand and slowly lowered it. At the same time, she chanted a few more syllables. The magic power condensed on her fingertips gradually became denser. Then, a stream of air was released. The magic power condensed into an Arcane Arrow that crackled and hit Tang En.
"Not bad."
Tang En nodded. "I can feel that the magic power structure is very stable, but it's not as strong as before."
Fiona said with a bitter face, "If I continue to increase my magic power, it'll be difficult for me to balance the internal structure … I saw you use spells so casually, but after learning them, I found that they're too difficult."
Of course … This is the result of the official cheating.
Tang En smiled silently. "Let me see how you attack with Hand of Magic."
"Okay."
Fiona was refreshed and quickly condensed Hand of Magic. Judging from her proficiency in this level-one spell, she probably used this spell a lot to conserve her strength.
Then, Hand of Magic whizzed at Tang En.
"Big brother! The production line is done! To celebrate, how about a barbecue tonight? "
Brian broke in through the door.
Fiona, who was concentrating, shivered. Hand of Magic was immediately crooked and hit Tang En's crotch hard.
Twain was stunned. He was caught in the act.
Nola, who was lying on the table and rolling lemon fruit candy, fell to the ground with a thud. She covered her eyes with her small hands. "Oh my god! It's too horrible to look at! "
"You —"
Brian stared at Fiona, Tang En, and the Hand of Magic that kept "stroking" Tang En's crotch. His face was full of shock. He imitated Tang En and gave them a thumbs up. He said with sincere admiration, "You guys really know how to have fun. Big brother, sorry to disturb you!"
With a bang, Brian closed the door and left in a hurry.
"I, I —"
Fiona's face turned red and white. A moment later, she rushed to the window and shouted, "Brian! It's not what you think! "
Brian, who had already run out of the lord's residence, turned back and gave her a thumbs up. "Don't worry! Fiona! I won't tell anyone. Huh? Isn't that Elsa? Elsa! Let me tell you, just now … "
Fiona was so angry that she almost vomited blood. When will this bastard Brian's big mouth be more reliable?
"It's over! It's over! "
Fiona's face was full of despair. "Brian is so talkative. I think everyone will misunderstand before night comes."
"It's okay. It's not necessary. Don't worry about it."
The very calm Tang En comforted Fiona. "If you're worried, I'll catch him later and threaten him to swear with his beard."
Fiona hesitated and shook her head. "Let's not … After all, we often see each other. It's not good to have a bad relationship."
To be honest, Fiona didn't care if Brian spread the rumors about her and Tang En, but it depended on what kind of rumors it was!
It was too shameful to use Hand of Magic to massage Tang En's penis in the study!
"Well, as long as you don't mind, I don't care."
Tang En shrugged and smiled bitterly. "As long as you don't greet me the next time you practice magic."
Fiona's face suddenly turned red.
Nola said like an elder, "Don't be shy, don't be shy. With your strength, it's still a hundred years too early for you to hurt him."
Tang En pushed Nola aside and said, "Elijah's magic power is improving too fast. I have to keep an eye on her, or it will be easy for accidents to happen. So you're negligent."
"It's okay. I understand."
Fiona didn't want to hear that Ellington accidentally bumped into Elijah and was blown to pieces.
"Take this Fruit of Wisdom and eat it."
Tang En took out a Fruit of Wisdom. "Remember to eat it when you have time to practice magic. After you've completely absorbed the effect, come to me for more."
"Fruit of Wisdom?"
Fiona was confused.
"Well, it's a specialty of the elves," Tang En said casually. "After eating it, it can strengthen the mental strength to a certain extent and expand the magic pool. It's a good thing for beginners."
"Strengthen the mental strength!? Expand the magic pool!? "
Fiona was shocked. "You're letting me eat this kind of treasure!?"
"If not for you, who should I give it to?"
Fiona was touched by his words.
Tang En rolled his eyes. "In the whole of Ellington, there are only you, me, and Elijah — those elves don't count — Elijah and I don't need it. Of course, I can only give it to you. Otherwise, it would be a waste."
Fiona, "…"
