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

"I see. Ms. Yayin..."

When the airship rose to a height where it could no longer be tracked by people on the ground, Aarons finally got a chance to inquire about the details.

The cause of the incident was indeed very simple - since the life of Huang Yayin, the manager of the shelter, had finally come to an end, the strength of the barrier suddenly weakened a lot.

And a group of Twilight troops that happened to be surveying nearby took this opportunity to invade the sanctuary... and took the lives of many demons.

"From what I know, the Ximu people are currently in the middle of a civil war, so they probably mistook you for an ambush from another faction... I'm sorry I'm late."

"No, don't say that, Aarons... Your Excellency."

"Don't force yourself to use honorifics with me. I've been taken care of by you all before, so—"

Aarons was just about to express his modesty when Xia Ye, who had been doing something unknown, suddenly walked into the room and interrupted his words.

"That won't do, Master. You are now the leader of these people, and you must have the awareness of a superior."

Even though the demons who came to Aarons' side did not know Xia Ye, they immediately determined that she was of the same race as themselves - and the pair of abnormally curled horns also proved that she possessed terrifying strength.

No wonder Aarons was able to get them out of danger so quickly... because such a powerful demon was just his servant.

"Okay, I'm just not used to it... This is Lan Xiaye, the reason why you can transform into human form."

Even though they have never seen him in person, the demons still remember this name.

But for them to believe that this young-looking demon woman is the legendary figure, some strong evidence is needed.

"If you don't believe me, my sister Yalu can prove it."

“What—Since Mist Demon Star said so, it must be true. Lady Lan Xiaye… I heard that you are treated as a daughter by the administrator, so we…”

"I am just a servant now. Just listen to Master Aarons about all your matters."

This very clear ranking of status caused the elders of the demon clan to fall silent for a moment.

It’s not that they don’t trust Aarons, but Huang Yayin has just passed away, and now all the demons are in urgent need of a strong leader to unify their opinions.

But Xia Ye, as a member of the same tribe, was not willing to take on this responsibility, and instead handed over all the power to Aarons - there is a difference between humans and demons, and this inevitably makes them a little worried.

"We'll talk about the details after I find a place for you to stay. Xia Ye, you just said you brought Ms. Ya Yin's... body up here, right?"

"Yes... When I return, I will hold a funeral for her."

"...What a pity. It would be nice if I could say a few more words to her."

Aarons actually felt a little regretful, but now the person is gone, so there is no chance to regret it.

"How many demons were there who didn't make it on board alive? It would be best if the funerals were held together... I'd like to trouble the elders to go back and count them first."

"Understood, we will pass your words on to others."

Watching several demon elders leave their cabins, Aarons couldn't help but sigh in distress.

These problems happened too suddenly - although he thought that the manager could still hold on for a few more months, he did not expect an accident to happen so soon.

If I had arrived a few days later, the demons here might have already...

"This is not your fault, Master. You don't have to be responsible for all the accidents. Others have already predicted Huang Yayin's problems, and you have done everything you can."

"Alas... After all, there is no regret medicine in the world. Anyway, I'll leave the matter of the demon tribe to you and Yalu for the time being. I still have to think about how to accommodate so many people."

Although more than a thousand people were taken on board very easily, how to accommodate them was still a big problem.

Even though these demons are no longer as dangerous as they were a thousand years ago, they are still a different race from humans - humans are unlikely to immediately accept these alien races to live around them, and these people will not easily trust humans.

However, the land that he could plan now was not enough to allow them to have a stable life.

"Forget it, let's go back first. Xia Ye, before you go back, count the names and numbers of the demons who failed to board the ship. We will go back and hold a funeral for them all."

The future cannot be predicted yet, but basic rituals are indispensable.

At least on this point, Aarons doesn't intend to be perfunctory.

……

Three days later, the invisible airship carrying more than a thousand people finally returned to the imperial border.

According to Xia Ye's statistics, there were a total of 302 demons who failed to board the ship - most of the dead were old and weak demons who did not have time to escape from the village, and the middle-aged men surprisingly did not suffer any losses.

This can be considered a blessing in disguise.

"I have prepared a temporary settlement for you, but what will happen next has not yet been decided, so please stay here for a while until everything is arranged."

There was already an empty soldier dormitory in the Conil base, and Jiangyue expanded it while building the airship.

Therefore, there should be no problem in temporarily settling these more than a thousand demons... Of course, daily necessities are indeed a bit tight.

"Everyone get off the boat in order, and just follow the instructions on the road - Xia Ye, help me contact Teacher Jiang Yue. If she's not here, ask her to come back as soon as possible!"

"No need, young master. She hasn't left yet. You can just go to the institute to find her."

"Then I'll leave these people to you first! Zhuying, please follow me."

With Xia Ye and Ya Lu in command, Aarons was not worried about any problems with the demons.

So after getting off the boat, he immediately took the cherry-haired maid to the research center in the base.

The wise man, who had known of his return for a long time, soon met him again.

"Teacher Jiangyue, I'm sorry to bother you at work. How's the situation at Collins?"

"Don't worry, Marquis. His Highness just raided a northern trade port yesterday. Now the Corinthians are negotiating with Lord Zexiu. The supplies we need will probably be delivered within a few days."

During the few days when I was away, the most difficult problem had actually been successfully solved.

As long as they have the supplies and trade goods provided by Corinth, the border territory will not have to worry about resources for the time being - whether it is magic source stones or daily necessities, there will be no shortage of them.

"…I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Aarons, who had been very nervous, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
