After all, it’s my first time.

Seems like you men always fuss about this,”

Such provocative words made Hudson roll his eyes helplessly, responding with a chuckle, “Don’t worry, I’ve checked it beforehand.”

“Remember, I am a Magician.

Casting Identification Magic is nothing difficult for me.”

Usually, the Extraordinary World attaches importance to lineage.

Various identification magics are consequently created.

The private lives of nobles may be a mess, but that still needs some prerequisites.

Those who dare to mess around usually are from families with imbalanced domestic backgrounds or they are widowed.

Most marriages between equals in social rank maintain a certain bottom line.

If a situation of impure blood lineage arose, it would be a disgrace for both families.

This is especially true for major nobles, who are very particular about such things.

Relatively speaking, women are more restrained.

If a scandal happens, the women from the entire clan would have problems finding suitors of equal social status.

…

After breakfast, Hudson was still worried about the absurdity of last night.

He had not intended to undertake it from the start, and now it was even harder for him to proceed further.

After cool reflection, Hudson quickly calmed down.

This was the Continent of Aslante, not Earth from his previous life; the rules of the game here are different.

A rumour about a romantic relationship had been circulating for so long, but his father-in-law had not come to question him, it explained many things.

Once the bottom line was breached, it was never to be retrieved.

When there were no shackles, all that was left was to enjoy.

When he had thought it through, Hudson again focused on the development of his domain.

Rationale told him that wealth and beauty were just subsidiary to the strong.

As long as he was strong enough, he would not lack these.

Looking at the busy crowd ahead, firstly Hudson cast his gaze onto Belsden, then onto Maxim.

This artificial canal had been under construction for three years, but its progress was very touching.

It was clear that more labor was invested in the last two years, yet the progress was not as good as the initial few months of excavation.

The core reason for this was the absence of Belsden.

Without the Earth Bear slogging it, the difficulty of construction in the swampland increased more than a notch.

Now that the bear was back, Belsden seemed to be not as easily fooled as before, due to his increasing age.

In the war career over the past two years, not only Hudson grew in the flame of war; Belsden also made significant progress.

After some hesitation, Hudson had to give up Maxim.

Without a choice, although this red dragon was easier to fool, he was a Fire Series Giant Dragon!

Outstanding in fire-setting, good troublemaker during fights; hoping for him to help dig the canal and develop the swampland was asking too much of the dragon.

It was unrealistic to expect the dragon to completely roast the swampland dry, probably won’t be achievable even if it works to death.

Moreover, the baked dry swampland would lose its value.

“Dear Mr.

Belsden, it’s time to work!”

Hudson was excellent at lowering himself when seeking help from the bear.

The agreement back then was somewhat unfair, a joint development of the swampland with shared ownership, but the basic infrastructure was unfairly claimed by Hudson.

The young Belsden, unaware of the trap, signed the agreement innocently.

Faced with the agreement in black and white, the proud Earth Bear would not go against his word.

“Dear Earl Hudson, spare me the flattery; I am not a kid anymore.”

Friendship is friendship, but clear calculation is required among close brothers.

Our relationship is somewhat similar.”

“I did not agree to help with digging the artificial canal.

We’ll write off what happened before, but the later project part needs to be re-discussed!”

While speaking, he shook his round head; although his expression was cute, Hudson was not pleased at all.

“Belsden, you can’t say that.

You are an equity bear for this artificial canal.

Think about it; once this canal is in place, wouldn’t it be much more convenient to irrigate the lands along its banks?

As a necessary auxiliary project for swamp land development, you can’t just walk away, can you?

If you don’t build it, from then on, you would have to pay me for water consumption on your pasture, arable land, and forest.

Look forward, you are a bear that can live for thousands of years.

Only the last one hundred eighty miles are left to be constructed.

You work for a year or two and complete it, and you will reap benefits for thousands of years!”

Hudson tried hard to fool Belsden.

Regrettably, these tricks were outdated and would not work on the young bear who was used to them.

He waved his claw straightforwardly and said,

“Don’t fool this bear, I’m not ignorant.

30% of canal toll goes to me, and all future management and maintenance costs will be yours!”

Following the growth in strength and increase in intelligence, Belsden had seen a rapid increase in his knowledge while following Hudson into battles.

He saw through Hudson’s real intention of digging the artificial canal immediately and, to avoid being ripped off, chose to have a share in the transportation fee instead of the revenue.

“The cost of maintaining the canal in the future is not low, 30% is too much.

Unless you also participate in the maintenance work, at most I can share 10% of the transportation fee with you!”

Hudson pretended to hesitate and said.

The Mountain Domain is not on the golden route, as an internal canal, it already could not charge a high transportation fee inherently.

But Hudson would not mention these.

Or else, considering the laziness of the Earth Bear, he could quit at any minute.
