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

After realizing that the imperial capital was not safe either, Aarons immediately left this dangerous and prosperous place with two beautiful attendants.

Fortunately, the man who wanted to murder him did not have the confidence to cause another plane crash, so Aarons returned to the border marquisate safely on the airship.

However, when he stepped into Moti City again, a bunch of unresolved key problems finally appeared before him again - no money, no people, and no plan.

"How much money do we have left?"

"One gold coin and thirty-four silver coins. Even if we don't want this month's salary, you can only support yourself for one month at most."

Although Xia Ye was still expressionless as always, Aarons felt that her voice sounded unusually cold at this moment.

——If I can’t think of a way to turn things around, then I’ll just be a stake for the rest of my life.

"There should still be some magical beasts from the last beast tide nearby, right? I have experience in hunting magical beasts, so I can help you kill a few and sell them for money."

Karin's suggestion can indeed solve the immediate problem, but the fur and flesh of low-level monsters are not particularly valuable.

Even if it is a complete fourth-level monster, if there is no crystal core in its body, the materials on its body can only be sold for one gold coin at most.

"That's all I can do for now... I'm counting on you."

"Oh, you just need to give me some compensation at night."

Aarons couldn't help but shudder as he watched the wolf girl with brown skin and golden eyes lick her lips and smile seductively.

This doesn’t cost money...but it costs your life!

"But according to my estimation, even if Miss Karin can help you earn ten silver coins every day, you can only maintain the current situation for about two months at most."

Warcraft is not the kind of monster in the game that will respawn after being killed. Although there were indeed quite a few beasts coming down during the beast tide, most of them have been cleared out by the border defense corps and hunters.

Even if Karin could hunt prey every day, it would be difficult to make up for the daily expenses of the Aarons family.

"There's nothing I can do. I'd better go to the city office to ask about the situation. Xia Ye, come with me."

“You’re finally understanding that your personal safety is important, which is great.”

"Yeah, I don't want to die so early."

The emperor has not yet officially decided on the ownership of the Marquisate, and the Marquisate is still nominally the lord for the time being. However, once the official edict is issued, the city magistrate may have to remain neutral.

Therefore, Aarons must take advantage of this opportunity to gain more help for himself.

……

After walking into the city hall with Xia Ye, Aarons found that some changes seemed to have taken place here.

There seemed to be more staff in the city office—but it wasn't that there were more formal employees, but there seemed to be a lot of volunteers helping out.

"You're back, Master Aarons."

"There are so many people here, have you hired any new people recently?"

Because he met Director Chen in the lobby, Aarons started talking to him directly there.

However, everyone else present seemed to have turned their attention to them, which made Aarons a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"Because the mine needs a lot of manpower, we specially recruited some volunteers. But the number of applicants was unexpectedly large, so I asked those who were not selected to help here."

"Wow, there are indeed a lot of people."

Although he originally thought that the people around him were just curious about why he came here, after Aarons looked around, he found that the people working here seemed familiar.

And there was no contempt in the eyes of these people that he often saw outside. Instead, there was more admiration and respect.

"But Director Chen, I came here this time because I have some private matters to discuss with you."

"Then let's go upstairs and talk in detail. Everyone, just keep working. I'll let you know if anything comes up."

Under everyone's subtle gaze, Aarons took Xia Ye up the stairs. Although he was a little curious about what was going on with the people here, Aarons still talked about business first.

"I went to see the Emperor, but—"

After briefly telling Director Chen what he had seen and heard in the imperial capital, Aarons also re-examined the current situation.

The emperor had not yet made a final decision on the ownership of this territory, so he still had a short period of time to prepare before the imperial edict was issued. During this period of time, he had to at least get some resources to start with.

Although he had two powerful beautiful attendants, this situation of drawing good cards at the beginning but not having the resources to develop them would have been quite difficult when he played games in his previous life.

"Also, the deaths of my father and brother—"

The wanton assassinations by enemies in the imperial capital also forced him to be on high alert.

Since the other party dared to hire people to commit the crime directly in the imperial capital, even if he hid in this border city, he could not guarantee that he would not encounter a killer who was commissioned to assassinate him.

I am too weak - even with Karin and Xia Ye's protection, there is no guarantee that I will be safe.

"This... I really didn't expect this result."

After listening to Aarons' narration, the Marquis's old subordinate was speechless for a moment.

The future of the territory was still unclear, and Aarons himself could be assassinated at any time. Even if he wanted to help the Marquis family revive, the director of the city office felt that he had no idea where to start.

"We can allocate a portion of the start-up capital you lack from the profits of the mine. After all, it is the industry you have conquered, and it is not appropriate for us to give it all to you."

"Alas, although I wanted to give you all of them before, but now... I can only break my promise for the time being."

This was indeed a very embarrassing thing, but Aarons was not that thin-skinned after his training in his previous life.

At such a critical moment, face is not as valuable as real gold coins.

"You just said that His Majesty and His Excellency the God of War both suggested that you marry into a certain family? If that's the case, I guess you may have a chance to take back this territory in the future."

"They did say that. It's a hint."

Since there is almost nothing left in the Marquis's family now, if Aarons wants to turn things around, the best way is to marry into the family in exchange for some disposable resources.

The Marquisate was very large and had abundant resources. Even if most of the nobles looked down on him as an incompetent person with no talent or strength, there might be someone among the honorary nobles who wanted to borrow his name.

"I understand. I will use my connections to help you find a suitable marriage partner. When the official edict comes, you can come to me to discuss countermeasures."

Now the official ownership of the Marquisate has not been decided, so Aarons has no way to formulate a targeted plan. After understanding this, he is no longer so anxious.

"Also... please be careful. The recent behavior of the Cardia Chamber of Commerce is a bit strange, and there is no guarantee that something will not happen in the future."

It seems that it is best to stay at home for the next few days - Aarons finally came to this conclusion.
