The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

After Aarons informed the city hall of the need for manpower, he immediately received a large number of volunteer applications.

"Even though I'm not paying, fifty people is too many! If such a large group of people run out, they'll be targeted!"

Because he didn't want other nobles to find out what he was doing, Aarons deliberately limited the number of recruits to thirty.

After a brief "friendly discussion", the volunteers who applied for the project finally selected 25 "suitable" engineering team members.

"...Director Chen, do they usually compete for positions in this way?"

"Yes, Master. For a soldier, this can be considered as a kind of training."

The winners cheered, while the losers could only cover their swollen faces and get angry secretly - after all, fighting warriors are not as versatile as magicians, so the competition is relatively fierce.

"Now that the people have been selected, I'll ask Director Chen to send them to the mine first. Someone will be responsible for the contact there, and I will go there later."

"Understood. I'll rent a car to take them there now."

Now that the problem of shortage of manpower has been basically solved, it has become much easier for Aarons to do his work.

Although this number is not large for a marquis, these people are different from the servants hired by ordinary nobles.

"Also, Master, the people who went to various cities to collect intelligence will be back soon. I will give you the report after I receive it."

"Oh, I'll leave it to you then."

——The reason they work for Aarons is not just to make money.

……

"Master, although you have Miss Karin's protection, you still need to be careful about your safety."

Since there was nothing else to do, Aarons immediately changed into a set of clothes for a long journey after returning from the city hall.

Karin had already changed into short leather boots and a sleeveless vest suitable for outdoor activities, and was ready to set off at any time.

"If you encounter an enemy, please avoid the threat first, then consider supporting others. Remember, your own life is the most important."

"Don't worry, Miss Xia Ye. If we really encounter an opponent that we cannot defeat, I will definitely send the young master back safely even if I have to sacrifice myself."

"Don't say such unlucky words, but I'll remember it."

Seeing that Aarons obviously had no intention of taking this advice to heart, Xia Ye couldn't help but rub his frowning brows with his hands, then sighed deeply.

"Although I also know that Miss Karin is an excellent bodyguard, you'd better not treat her as invincible. She also has her limits."

"Don't worry. Let's go then."

After watching Aarons and Karin walk out of the yard side by side, Xia Ye couldn't help but sigh again.

- Although she didn't think Aarons would really be in any danger, she felt that it was not a good idea to relax like this.

"Miss Yang, why are you standing there sighing alone? It will make you have more wrinkles."

"You don't have to remind me, old woman."

The sage Jiangyue, who had neat dark purple neck-length hair and also wore glasses, exuded an intellectual and mature aura from head to toe. For some reason, she suddenly came up to the Aries beauty.

"Are you worried about the Marquis' safety? Actually, you can go with him."

"No, now there must be someone in the family to take charge of all affairs. Before the young master is officially married, this work can only be done by me."

"You are so dedicated. You are worthy of being the Marquis' most trusted secretary."

Seeing Xia Ye's mouth curled up because of the compliment, Jiang Yue couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't worry, I won't compete with Miss Yang for this job. I prefer to do my technical research rather than dealing with those chores."

"If you dare to interfere, I will kill you."

Because the two of them are indeed similar in some aspects, Xia Ye is so vigilant.

But she herself didn't really understand why she attached so much importance to her current identity and position.

I am clearly a demon who can live as I please, but now I am worried that my place in this family will be taken away by someone else.

——Has there been any change in my mentality?

"By the way, Miss Yang, I'm curious about something that happened before, and I want to ask you something."

"Go ahead."

Looking at the Aries beauty who had her long white ponytail and curly horns meticulously groomed and without a single flaw on her body, Jiangyue suddenly revealed a malicious smile.

"A few days ago... maybe two days ago. That morning, I saw Miss Sheep and Miss Wolf coming out of the Marquis' room together."

"We are discussing work with the young master."

No one would believe this kind of statement which was not even a lie. Jiang Yue, who had rich experience in life, knew that Xia Ye was talking nonsense, but she did not expose the lie.

"The Marquis was in a very bad condition that day. He looked like a towel that had been forcefully dried. I was a little worried about his health, so I used the equipment I brought with me to check him."

After seeing a hint of gloom on Xia Ye's expressionless face, Jiang Yue's smile became even brighter.

"The test results are quite shocking. I found that the Marquis's vitality had decreased by nearly one-fifth without any warning that day. If this can't be replenished in time, his life span will be shortened."

——As if she was talking about something unrelated, Jiang Yue circled around Xia Ye while talking.

"But the next day, I discovered an even more incomprehensible phenomenon - the Marquis's vitality suddenly returned to normal, and it was even more than before it was missing."

"Really? Maybe the young master has a special physique."

"So yesterday, when the Marquis went to the back to discuss the teaching plan with me, I gave him a detailed physical examination. As a result, I got a very interesting result."

At this time, Xia Ye not only had a frown on his face, but there also seemed to be a fierce light flashing in his dark blue eyes.

After seeing such changes, Jiangyue also put away the smile on her face.

"——The Marquis's vitality was actually replenished deliberately."

"…Old woman, what do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is that the Marquis was clearly being drained of energy the day before, but he suddenly recovered to be full of energy the next day. It is very likely that he was actively transferred vitality by someone who had an excessively long life span and could live for a considerable period of time."

——The moment Jiangyue finished saying this, a hint of blood-red light even appeared in Xia Ye’s eyes.

However, when she saw Jiang Yue smile playfully again, she forced herself to suppress her anger.

"So what I'm more curious about is, does Miss Yang know anyone like this?"

"I don't know. I have work to do. Excuse me."

"Oh, that's a shame. Let's just keep this a secret between us."

After watching the Aries beauty leave angrily and helplessly, who was hiding some unknown emotion, the sage Jiangyue, who had already seen through everything, couldn't help but subconsciously reached out and pinched his chin.

"...What is so special about that Marquis?"
