A few days later, Tang En finally returned to Ellington. Locke and the others who accompanied him had long given up on Ellington.
Why? Because from the time they left Kasparmi Castle to the time they entered Ellington's territory, there wasn't even a decent village in the middle of the journey!
Although Ellington was much larger than Kasparmi Castle, it was much less prosperous.
What good things could there be in a place like this?
Locke sighed in his heart, but he couldn't refuse Tang En, so he continued to follow him.
However, the closer they got to Ellington, the more surprised Tang En became.
"Eh? Big Brother Dominion, there are a few more waterwheels by the river... "
Elijah shouted happily, "It looks so beautiful!"
As Elijah said, Ellington had changed in just ten days. Not only were there a few more waterwheels, but more importantly, the town seemed to have expanded outwards. There was also a factory under construction next to Ellington.
Fiona was actually so capable?
Tang En didn't bother to introduce Ellington to Locke anymore. After taking them to the only inn in town, he hurried back to his residence.
Elijah also went home to report their safety.
As soon as they arrived outside the study, they heard a commotion inside.
"Lady Fiona, the charcoal factory has been completed. Can we transfer those people to our mint factory? We now urgently need to expand production and storage space. "
"Why are you in such a hurry? First come, first served! Compared to the mint factory, our soap factory needs a new production workshop more. The smell in the warehouse now is really bad! That's why the employees are so efficient! "
"Hey, Fiona! No matter what these people say, we can't have less manpower in the mines! Big Brother Dominion's plan will use a lot of iron ore next! "
Tang En smiled slightly. It seemed that Fiona did quite well when he wasn't around. At least Ellington could see the improvement.
"Fiona..."
A woman in her thirties in front of him frowned and stopped Tang En: "Who are you? Whether you want people or money, line up at the back! "
Another middle-aged man nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! There's a shortage of manpower and gold coins everywhere. Don't even think about cutting the line! "
Tang En didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Shut up."
Fiona pinched her eyebrows, got up and breathed a sigh of relief: "You're back... Hilton, Thomas, this is our current lord, Lord Tang En. Don't be rude."
"My Lord!"
Hilton and Thomas were shocked. They hurriedly put away their rudeness and bowed to Twain. "Please forgive us, Sir Lord!"
"No need for formalities."
Tang En winked at Fiona. Fiona immediately said: "I know your request. You can go down first. I'll make arrangements after I think about it."
"Understood, Lady Fiona. But please do it as soon as possible. The sooner it is confirmed, the sooner we can get on the right track."
Both of them left. Brian originally wanted to talk to Tang En about the charcoal steelmaking, but Tang En drove him away and said to talk about it later.
Brian was very angry about this.
"If you don't come back, I'm afraid those people will think I murdered you and usurped the throne..."
Fiona smiled bitterly: "Tell me, what did you get from this trip?"
Twain shrugged his shoulders, picked up the cup and drank a mouthful of water, and casually said: "The harvest was quite good. I looted Baron Duwei's vault, and then killed him. I also bought a lot of alchemy materials, and most importantly, I also found spicy-"
"You! Say! What! Is it!? "
Fiona suddenly raised her voice and looked at Tang En with a startled face, hoping that Tang En was joking with her.
However, Tang En looked at her and winked, then said very seriously: "Yes, it's all true."
"Oh my God..."
Fiona fell back into her seat in great pain: "I know you are very powerful, but, but directly murdering a noble of the empire, and a lord at that, this crime is enough for the empire to send an army to suppress. Not to mention, Baron Duwei has the Cadier family behind him! Do you want Ellington to become a ruin again!? "
"Don't worry, that won't happen. This time, Duwei's death will probably cause the Cadier family to be in a mess for a while."
Tang En's face was gloating: "He died in vain."
"What happened?"
"Baron Duwei made a deal with a cultist. He kidnapped a little girl in his territory and gave her to the cultist. Not to mention anything else, just this matter alone is enough to make Baron Duwei go down in infamy for thousands of years."
Tang En smacked his lips. He missed the taste of drinks after not drinking for a long time. However, although there were no drinks here, he could get tea.
"There is such a thing... What are you doing?"
Fiona was surprised to see Tang En holding a flame in his hand. The kettle in his hand soon boiled.
"Hmm, making tea... Don't worry about me, you continue. Tell me about the changes during this time."
"Drinking tea like this?"
Fiona frowned slightly and took out a few pieces of parchment paper from the side. She began to report the recent changes to Tang En in detail.
First of all, with the concerted efforts of Brian and Edgar, several other water wheels were successfully erected, and the drought problem in the farmland was successfully solved.
Second, the charcoal factory that Tang En had ordered was completed a few days ago after the slaves were hired. The structure of the charcoal factory was very simple, and the construction period was very short. According to Tang En's instructions, the charcoal factory was located some distance away from Ellington and close to the forest, so it was convenient to obtain materials.
Third, Fiona successfully gathered the surviving subordinates of the Rosa d'Oro family to Ellington. Now, they had begun to recruit new people and were planning to reorganize the Chamber of Commerce. Especially after they saw the mint candy, soap, and the cheap iron farming tools that were produced in bulk, they had no doubt about the bright future of the Chamber of Commerce.
Speaking of this, Fiona's emotions surged again. If it weren't for Tang En, how could she have the opportunity to reorganize the Chamber of Commerce?
All of these, all of these changes, were because of the man in front of her!
"In addition, after evaluation, the mint candy factory intends to expand production, so Hilton asked me for manpower to build a mint candy factory. She needs a production site that matches the production process. Thomas's idea is similar to Hilton's, but the condition of the soap factory is worse, and the smell inside is very bad... Smell... What smell?"
Fiona wrinkled her nose and looked at Tang En in surprise.
In front of Tang En was a box that was more than ten centimeters high. The box was very beautiful and delicate, and the exquisite craftsmanship made Fiona sigh with regret.
But what attracted Fiona the most was the … tea leaf that Tang En pinched out from the box?
It should be tea leaves. Tang En casually threw the tea leaf into the cup, and then poured the boiling water into it...
A refreshing fragrance instantly filled the air.
"Gulp." Fiona subconsciously swallowed her saliva, forced herself to focus, and continued to stare at the parchment and said, "In addition, after Hilton saw the toothbrush you gave me, she felt that there was a big market for toothbrushes, so she wanted to build another workshop to produce toothbrushes. I temporarily suppressed it, and I think I need to hear your opinion on this."
"I don't have any opinion, of course you can do it."
Tang En shrugged, picked up the hot tea, and handed Fiona a cup, "Try it."
Fiona stared at the golden liquid that exuded a tempting fragrance, "What is this?"
"Tea."
Tang En spread his hands.
"Of course I know. What I'm asking is, what tea leaf is this? It smells so good! "
"Oh, the leaf of the World Tree."
"Oh, the leaf of the World Tree... the leaf of the World Tree!?"
Fiona was petrified, and she trembled as she looked at Tang En, "You, how do you have this thing? Aren't, aren't you afraid that the elves will hunt you down?! "
"Why would they hunt me down?"
Tang En sipped the hot tea with a satisfied expression. These leaves of the World Tree were the guaranteed commemorative prize for participating in the shop's lucky draw, and Tang En had a lot of them in his pocket. These things contained abundant life force, and if used to refine various kinds of potions, they could increase the success rate, and they could also be added when making magic equipment, which could improve the magic power affinity of magic equipment.
However, these things were useless to Tang En, and were only used to make tea.
Because the simulated taste in the game was very good, and there was a clear difference from the tea leaves on Earth, Tang En had always kept them.
"Isn't the World Tree their mother tree? For them, everything related to the World Tree is noble and sacred … "
"It's not that exaggerated."
Tang En pursed his lips. Among the elves, there was a fixed quota to obtain a magic staff made from the branches of the World Tree, and sometimes they would also use the leaves of the World Tree as magic materials …
Although the World Tree was indeed treated as their mother, it was just taking a strand of their mother's "hair" to use. What was the big deal?
"But, but …"
Fiona did not dare to drink anymore, for she was afraid that her actions would blaspheme the elves.
Moreover, what she was most concerned about was why Tang En had such things in his hands!
This kind of thing was not something that ordinary people could take out!
The leaves of the World Tree … Just the name alone sounded so noble, and he was actually using them to make tea?
Fiona felt that if she were an elf, she would definitely hunt down Tang En with all her might if she knew about this matter!
"What are you so excited about, it's just a few leaves …"
Tang En drank his tea comfortably, lying on the sofa, and said lazily, "The toothbrush I made for you before was made from the branches of the World Tree, aren't you worried that it's too late?"
"What!?"
Fiona suddenly heard this news, and her vision suddenly turned black, and she almost fainted. = = = PS: Vote, vote, vote ~ ~ ~
