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

Because he was not going to fight this time, Aarons deliberately slowed down his pace, intending to see if there was anyone outside who wanted to plot against him.

However, he didn't meet anyone along the way, and nothing happened when he reached the finish line.

"…Is there really no one paying attention to me?"

"Master, no one will dare to provoke you these days. Even if they really want to attack you, they have to find out our weaknesses first."

Karin doesn't usually give Aarons any advice, but she actually has quite a lot of life experience.

Because Aarons was used to seeing Karin's charming and energetic appearance, he always unconsciously overlooked an important fact - Karin's actual age was already in her thirties.

It was because she had experienced both the glory of her heyday and the tragic failure that she was able to let go of the entanglements of the past after she was reborn and gained new strength.

What I once sacrificed and lost to survive is no longer so important to this new body.

"You have already demonstrated amazing strength during the honor duel, so even if someone wants to deal with you, they will definitely investigate whether you have more hidden strength first."

"It seems that I was too impatient."

“You can definitely take a break and then decide what to do next.”

After listening to Karin's advice, Aarons relaxed a lot.

He knew very well that he couldn't rush for success now - the various forces at the border had just begun to take action, and he had to have the patience to play the long game and hook the big fish.

This period is also very suitable for consolidating existing strength.

"Oh... I can see those volunteers. There shouldn't be any problems at the mine. Let's go over there too."

……

Due to some delays on the road, it was already evening when Aarons and Karin arrived at the mine.

The volunteers who arrived early were being directed to survey the terrain in the area outside, and the person in charge of contacting Aarons and his team was an unfamiliar female military attaché.

"Hello, Lord Marquis. I am the tactical officer of the logistics department of the Yumenhua. I am assigned by Vice Captain Jiangyue to contact you."

"What is the current situation?"

The Empire's army had some special rules, and soldiers generally did not report their names to the public. So after the young female officer saluted, Aarons got straight to business.

"The deputy captain's instructions are to clear an area large enough for landing near the mine. However, according to the previous geological survey report, the surface nearby is not very stable."

"What do you mean by unstable?"

"Because there are magic source stone veins underground, the geological structure here has a great risk of collapse. If the Yumenhua really lands here, there is a certain probability that it will directly crush the surface."

This is a troublesome problem.

Although Aarons was not a geologist, he also knew some simple truths - the underground here might be full of cavities formed by mineral veins, and if the huge battleship really landed on the ground, it would probably collapse the ground and sink into the pit.

"We originally requested that Miss Muli come to reinforce the ground, but the vice-captain contacted us not long ago and asked us to ask Miss Karin, who is by your side, for help."

"Huh? What can Karin do to help you?"

"I see. No wonder Teacher Jiang Yue came to ask me if I could directly absorb the magic source stone before leaving... I know what to do now."

What? You already know what to do?

Since Aarons had no idea what kind of power Karin possessed, he had no idea how Karin could solve the geological problems here.

"Master, please instruct the volunteers to move one ton of magic source stones out of the mine as soon as possible. Miss Sergeant, please mark out the designated docking area."

"Ah, um... could you please briefly explain what you're going to do?"

"I can use psychic energy to reinforce the ground in the landing zone. I can do it using the magic source stones in the mine."

Since Aarons had no idea what Karin was going to do, he didn't plan to ask any more questions.

He didn't understand technology or combat, so he didn't intend to interfere with other people's practices.

……

After receiving Aarons' order, the volunteers immediately began to move the magic source stones.

Since the workers in the mine had long been replaced by the city government's own people, the process of transporting the magic source stones was not hindered in any way.

It took only about half an hour for more than twenty Dou Qi warriors to transport more than one ton of magic source stones to the location designated by Karin.

"Ms. Karin, I have used a luminous marking device to circle the landing zone. Please confirm it again."

"No problem, I can see the markings."

"Before you start working, could you explain the process to me so that I can be mentally prepared?"

Feeling completely useless, Aarons could only stand aside and watch Karin communicate with the female officer.

However, he was indeed curious about what would happen next, so he took the initiative to ask questions before the work officially began.

"Master, you should know that psychic energy releases heat when used."

"This should be common sense that even children know."

Similar to the electrical energy commonly used in the previous world, spiritual energy also releases heat during the process of transmission and use.

However, this heat is released when spiritual energy naturally dissipates, and there is no way to achieve zero-loss transmission like superconductivity.

"I can manipulate psychic energy within a certain range, so I plan to activate these magic source stones in this area together, and then channel all the psychic energy they release into the ground."

"Importing it into the stratum...what will happen?"

"The heat released by this spiritual energy is enough to melt all the strata within this area to a certain depth. Once the lava cools down completely, the strata will be reinforced."

Such work usually requires the use of special magic arrays, or simply letting senior magicians cast the spell themselves.

If magic is used alone to melt and reinforce the strata, it may be necessary to release several or even dozens of level five magic spells to achieve the desired goal.

——But now Karin only needs to consume one ton of magic source stones to do the same thing.

"But this is my first time trying to do this kind of work, and I might fail... If possible, I hope the young master can give me appropriate instructions."

"That's easy. Where should I stand?"

"Please follow me, Marquis. There is a vantage point outside this area that is suitable for monitoring the situation."

Aarons was actually a little excited because he couldn't imagine what would happen next. Karin was wagging her tail gently, looking quite relaxed.

"Everyone else, stand back! Don't go near the marked area!"

After instructing the surrounding volunteers to stay as far away from the area as possible, Aarons, who had climbed to a higher place, took the megaphone handed over by the sergeant and formally gave an order to Karin, who had almost reached the center of the area.

"Begin, let me see your strength."
