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

Since there was really nothing to do at the moment, Aarons began to plan for a business alliance.

With the help of Minister of Commerce Zexiu, he quickly developed a relatively safe system - first contracting the existing large trucks to honorary nobles who were willing to join the alliance, and then recommending volunteers and ordinary combatants who needed work as guards for the transport team.

Since the current truck fleet has basically monopolized the trade transportation between Cardia and Collins, Aarons decided to slowly expand the coverage of the logistics system.

"The road construction in the empire is not that complete, so I am also considering other modes of transportation... Teacher Jiangyue, what do you think of what I said last time?"

"Are you talking about making a large transport plane? Although Miss Spider has calculated the detailed performance parameters, I haven't found the right materials yet. I may need to find a few more magical beast materials to test."

"Not yet... Then there's no rush."

Aarons certainly knows that many things cannot be achieved overnight, but he still hopes that technological progress can be faster.

No one could predict what the Duke's family, who could take out ancient scrolls at will, would bring next time - so Aarons had to be fully prepared.

"By the way, Marquis, is Miss Yang not here today? I haven't seen her since morning."

"She and Karin went to Moti City to do market research, but I don't know what she was researching."

"Is that so... Marquis, do you remember what I told you before?"

Jiangyue had said before that she would continue telling Aarons stories from the past, and Aarons certainly had not forgotten about it.

That might be related to the past that Jiangyue has been hiding... Although Aarons doesn't like to pry into other people's secrets, he is still curious.

"Teacher Jiangyue, are you going to tell me a story? I don't have anything to do right now."

After realizing that Aarons didn't mind listening to the story, Jiangyue showed a somewhat nostalgic expression.

……

The witch didn't know why she was born, nor did she know where she should go.

In an era when people fight against each other and cities and countries may be destroyed at any time, trust between people is the most worthless thing.

The person who treats you as a friend or relative today may stab you in the back tomorrow - no matter how strong a person is, he cannot resist endless deception and conspiracy.

The witch witnessed many grievances and experienced calculation and betrayal during her lonely journey. Although she was not hurt by the tricks of the weak, her heart was already exhausted.

——Ah, how nice it would be if I could find a place where I could rest?

"I will build a country where people can survive without fighting each other."

People are of course looking forward to the emergence of a hero who can lead everyone out of the darkness... and the witch actually met such a person by chance.

Even though the man was deceived and plotted against, he never gave up his beliefs. Even though his family only wanted to use his power, he had no complaints.

He was like a dazzling light, giving the exhausted witch some hope.

"In order to make my wish come true, I need your power... Please help me."

Faced with the man's sincere invitation, the witch made a very demanding request.

——She can contribute her strength to the man, but if the man can really build a country without fighting, she will take half of it.

"No problem...I will officially marry you then, so that you can legitimately get the other half you want."

The witch didn't really want any country, she just thought the man was very stupid.

The cursed self would only bring unnecessary natural disasters, but this man said that he needed his own strength... If he was not hopelessly naive, then he really had the belief and courage to realize his wish.

In order to gain temporary peace, the witch agreed to the man's conditions and contributed her strength to him.

With the help of the power of natural disasters, the man quickly cleared out his enemies. As more and more people followed him, his dream gradually became a reality.

——Maybe this man is a real hero?

While helping men realize their dreams, witches sometimes think.

Perhaps this person is the end of my journey... and the end of my life is to witness a new era by his side.

"My promise has not changed. When my country is officially established, you will be my only queen... Please just wait a little longer."

The witch believed the man's words and even began to learn how to be a wife. When that day really came, she might be able to forget her cursed power and become an ordinary person.

But——fate did not give them the opportunity to realize their wish.

"I didn't expect... that at this last moment, the one who betrayed me was actually my family."

The man's family was engulfed by their growing selfish desires, and they plotted to murder the two people who had been leading everyone forward, and seized the country that had not yet been truly born.

Hope for the future crumbles, and people once again fight over ugly desires. But this time, the guiding light has gone out.

"Run away, you can leave here by yourself...but I have to make up for the mistakes I made."

The witch knew very well that she might never see this man again in the future.

As a loser, he can't even leave his name in history - but even so, he will follow his beliefs and fight until the last moment of his life.

"Do you think I have any regrets? Haha... My biggest regret is that I was not able to officially marry you."

The man actually fell in love with the witch a long time ago, but he had lost the qualification to move forward into the future. The witch also knew his feelings a long time ago, but she never responded.

"Is that so... It doesn't matter. As long as you can still remember me, that's enough."

——Thus, the fate of the two people was separated forever.

"I wish your future will always be—"

...However, that final blessing soon turned into a curse that was enough to corrupt the soul.

……

"Two years later, I unknowingly crossed the threshold of level six. I lost all my magical abilities... and gained an immortal, meaningless body in return."

As this not-so-long story slowly came to an end, Jiangyue's expression returned to its previous carefree self.

Aarons, who listened to the story carefully, couldn't help but feel a sense of respect in his heart.

"So that's how it is... Is that person the husband you mentioned before, Teacher Jiangyue?"

"Yes, even though we are not officially married and have no actual relationship...but in my heart, only someone like him is qualified to be my husband."

"I see, heroes... they are truly amazing."

——Aarons didn’t think too much about it, he just simply thought that the man was very powerful.

A man who is willing to move forward firmly for his beliefs and aspirations is indeed worthy of Jiangyue's favor.

"Marquis... do you really understand what I mean?"

"Ah, of course I understand. I'm definitely not comparable to a man of that level, so don't worry, Teacher Jiangyue, I will never make any excessive demands on you."

Seeing Aarons indifferent, who seemed to have misunderstood, the beautiful sage showed a rare anxious expression.
