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

After the initial preparations were completed, Aarons immediately gathered the remaining few people in the family and began to formulate the next plan.

"Keliya will definitely take quite some time, and there's not much I can do here... so my idea is to do something big to draw other people's attention."

Because there were only Xia Ye Jiangyue, Mo Qianyun and three other women left in the family, the fighting power of Aarons' people was reduced a lot.

In order to make up for the lack of combat power, Jiangyue also took the initiative to join the ranks of the guards - because almost all the stocks were used up in the research and development of [Night Raven], so she actually has nothing to do now.

With her and Mo Qianyun by his side, Aarons doesn't have to worry about being ambushed by any sneaky assassin.

"Master, have you forgotten that you are still a participant in the Battle of Zhengrong?"

"I really forgot... other cities already have new mayors, right?"

"That's right, and the current city lords are all people who have close ties with the great nobles. If you really want to do something, just pick one of them."

Aarons certainly didn't want to give up his original marquisate, so he would definitely get rid of those participants who were supported by the great nobles.

However, killing people in public without scruples is definitely not an option. Even if the rules do not explicitly prohibit it, doing so will only cause other opponents to unite out of fear.

"Marquis, the people who are related to that little Moro should also be here. You can try to contact them first."

Today, Jiangyue changed into a light white sleeveless long gown. The unique design of the stand-up collar, waist, and side slits reminded Aarons of the cheongsam he had seen in his previous life.

The traditional combination of black translucent stockings and high heels makes the sage who has transformed into a dragon highlight his unique charm.

"Marquis, you don't have to really negotiate any conditions with them. Just let outsiders know that you have had private exchanges with them, and then you can go ahead and attack other nobles."

"Putting the blame on someone else... is a good idea."

"Master, you can take this opportunity to take Miss Qianyun out to test the practicality of protective magic. Miss Qianyun, have you mastered the [weaving] that I taught you before?"

The "weaving" that Xia Ye often uses is not actually magic, but a special technique that permanently solidifies one's own magic power into silk threads. As long as the magic power is sufficient, anyone can learn this technique.

Of course, sewing clothes with this silk thread is another technique.

"Yes, I can now release silk threads that conduct magic power. But Teacher Xia Ye, the silk threads I release seem to be different from what you taught me..."

"Of course the thread mixed with eight elements is different. Sigh... Please produce a few more rolls of silk thread when you have time. I will try my best to use these materials to make new clothes for you and the young master."

Mo Qianyun's outfit today was also very eye-catching - the smart combination of a white short-sleeved shirt with black suspenders, slim trousers and high-heeled boots perfectly highlighted her dignified temperament.

This girl with a beautiful and clear appearance is indeed very suitable to be a bodyguard.

"You just need to make sure that a line is always connected to the Marquis' shield equipment, and transfer magic power to it immediately in case of emergency. Because that thing will send me a warning when it is activated, so if you can't deal with the opponent, I will go to support you."

If there really is an enemy that Jiang Yue and Mo Qianyun cannot deal with even if they join forces, then it would not be unfair for Aarons to die - but enemies of this level are probably only rare level six monsters.

"Well, Master, won't you follow the Master?"

"My appearance is too conspicuous now. People will definitely be on guard when they see me."

Right now, Mo Qianyun is the only one around Aarons who is suitable for covert operations.

She didn't have any alien features, and with a little disguise, no one would be able to accurately identify her.

"Okay, that's it. Qianyun, go get ready now. We'll go to Moti City first."

……

Before taking action, Aarons needed some accurate intelligence.

In order to ensure that outsiders would not mistakenly believe that he was alienated by the royal family, he had already informed the third prince Loran in advance and asked him to avoid him as much as possible during this period.

However, in this case, the only source of information he could easily use was the city office.

"Director Chen, I have something to ask you."

"…Marquis? Why are you here? Um… The rumors outside are very unfavorable to you recently. Are you really…"

"Just treat it as real."

Of course, the old marquis's subordinates immediately understood Aarons' hint, so he did not ask any further questions.

"I need some information about the current situation of the cities in the Marquisate."

"I see. Are you planning to deal with those honorary nobles? However, the information we have now is very limited. I wonder if I can help you."

As the resolute-faced middle-aged man spoke, he secretly glanced at the new guard beside Aarons - the female attendant with neat black short hair and a black mask covering most of her face. She was obviously different from the alien women he had seen before.

Although she seemed to be trying her best to suppress it, the murderous aura in her was still quite obvious.

"It doesn't matter, as many as you want."

"Then wait a moment."

Aarons actually didn't have high expectations, because after the Battle of Zhengrong began, there was not much contact between the city offices in various places.

However, to his surprise, Director Chen finally brought him a very thick investigation report.

"Here is some of the information we investigated privately, as well as the list that His Royal Highness the Third Prince gave us earlier... I hope it can be of help to you."

"That's enough. Thank you, Director Chen."

After briefly reading the report, Aarons had a general grasp of the current situation - currently only one of the ten cities belongs to a noble related to Duke Oufei, while the other cities have fallen into the hands of the other two dukes.

"I'll go visit one of them tomorrow... Then Director Chen, I'll take my leave first. Qianyun, let's go."

After seeing Aarons, whose condition was obviously inconsistent with the rumors outside, calmly leave the city hall with his new servant, the old marquis' former subordinates finally realized.

"I see, this is just a cover... Hey, go inform the others now, we're going to have a meeting soon!"

Now that they have guessed Aarons' thoughts, those who support him must of course do something to help him.
