Chapter 365 - 365 365 Good Thing I Brought the House

365: Chapter 365: Good Thing I Brought the House 365: Chapter 365: Good Thing I Brought the House This state of absolute impoverishment was beyond Zhao Guang’s expectations.

Although drawing on a blank sheet of paper wasn’t bad, it seemed there wasn’t even a blank sheet available here—he had to make the paper first.

“Let it be, I’ll start with the planning, beginning from the edges.

Go and notify Count Valen with my credentials, to prevent being attacked as enemies.

Actually, I’ll visit him personally.”

Since he had already arrived, it seemed somewhat inappropriate not to pay a visit.

After all, certain matters between nobles still needed attention.

Sometimes, these etiquettes could determine the other party’s attitude towards oneself.

Indeed, Zhao Guang arrived with gifts in hand and easily met Count Valen.

The count expressed great satisfaction with the telescope Zhao Guang brought, and the atmosphere between the two changed for the better.

“You want to establish a Domain starting from next to mine?

No problem at all.

Once your Domain is built, we can engage in trade,” Count Valen said, clearly expressing his goodwill.

Indeed, Valen was very straightforward, without any roundabout manipulations.

“No need to wait for later; we can start trading soon.

I still have quite a few good items here.

In the coming days, the Sibar Family might also send someone over.

You’re entirely welcome to take a look if you’re interested.”

These words somewhat surprised Valen.

After chatting a bit more, Zhao Guang looked at the sky and said, “I’ve just arrived here and still have many things to handle, so I’ll take my leave now.”

“Indeed, let me know if you need anything.”

Valen, being a thorough military man, certainly knew the advantages of a telescope.

Even just to be able to purchase more telescopes, Valen wouldn’t want to offend Zhao Guang.

Besides, Zhao Guang was merely a minor noble, hardly noteworthy.

In the Chirali Empire, if one were to seek out the Great Nobles, they would either head to the Imperial City or come to the border.

In a place like the border, there were Great Nobles everywhere, and the smaller nobles grouped together, depending on the Great Nobles for survival.

Zhao Guang did not express a desire to depend on Valen, but Valen did not mind; he valued the friendship with Zhao Guang more.

Being able to produce a device like the telescope meant Zhao Guang’s background was certainly not simple.

Zhao Guang was also very satisfied with Valen.

Had it been another noble, they might have forced him to become their vassal.

After all, not all nobles are the same.

In a place like the border, a Viscount was neither big nor small.

However, in the eyes of a Great Noble, a Viscount was just that, especially someone who had just arrived.

Only upon returning to the border of his own Domain did Zhao Guang realize that work had already started in full swing.

The ground had been cleared of weeds, and people were voluntarily clearing stones and tree roots from the ground.

Branches were stuck into the ground, and some marks on the ground indicated that the planning had already commenced.

Qiao Miya was the one doing all this.

It must be said, in terms of constructing a Domain, Qiao Miya was even more skilled than Miller.

“Master, we’ve roughly cleared the ground as well.

But to start excavating the foundation, we might have to wait until tomorrow,” Qiao Miya said.

Zhao Guang looked around, nodding his head with satisfaction, “There’s no hurry to excavate the foundation; let’s build our accommodations first.

Although it doesn’t rain much here, we still need to take precautions.”

Autumn had already passed, and it was now winter, but rain was still possible.

The most crucial part was that the temperature was getting colder day by day.

This place was in the North, much colder than down South.

“The most important thing is to take warming measures.

I’ll have supplies sent over in a few days.

As for building the Domain, let’s wait until we’ve constructed the cement factory and similar facilities,” Zhao Guang decided.

These things all needed to be handled personally, and many items were unrecognizable to the slaves; they could at most help him find similar items.

Moreover, constructing these factories also required including an Anti-Magic Domain created by himself.

Without an Anti-Magic Domain, many physical laws simply couldn’t operate normally.

With disruptions, temperatures weren’t reached—forget making cement; even bricks couldn’t be fired.

Didn’t one see that even in the huge city of Imperial City, they still used stones?

It was only because people in this world were physically robust.

Otherwise, using stones to build houses would be nothing short of a fantasy.

“Master, didn’t we, didn’t we bring a house with us?” Qiao Miya said cautiously as Zhao Guang finished giving the instructions.

Suddenly remembering, Zhao Guang said, “Oh, right, I’d forgotten.

Let’s pause.

Help me dig a temporary drainage system.”

Though this drainage system was temporary, it wasn’t included in the original plans.

As Zhao Guang commanded, the slaves, seemingly inexhaustible in energy, immediately rushed to dig according to his specifications.

It wasn’t overcorrected or cemented, as it was only to last a few days.

“There are many rooms, so…” Zhao Guang began.

“Master, it’s best not to let anyone else live with you, except for Qiao Miya and his subordinates.

Plus, they should only be allowed if you reside on the third floor,” Xi Fei earnestly advised.

Xi Fei hadn’t spent all this time just on cultivation.

Besides training, Xi Fei had been diligently studying various noble laws.

Xi Fei had decided to help manage the entire family well for her master.

While Qiao Miya was the Housekeeper, Xi Fei couldn’t afford to remain naive; she aimed to surpass Qiao Miya.

As a Magician with a strong mind, Xi Fei learned quickly.

“I see, then just the three of us will reside for now,” Zhao Guang decided, too lazy to move elsewhere.

Zhao Guang unpacked the prefabricated house, and together with everyone’s efforts, it was quickly reassembled.

Looking at this house, which seemed exceptionally luxurious and had very good living conditions to them, everyone was amazed.

So this was what being a noble was like, carrying a house with oneself, something they had never dared to imagine before.

As for envy, that was out of the question; they never thought themselves worthy of being nobles.

Besides, the tents Zhao Guang had provided for them had already been set up.

In their minds, these tents were now the best houses, better than their living conditions before becoming slaves.

Even those from the Xue Feng Thief Gang didn’t utter a single complaint.

Through the journey’s reformation, these former brigands had thoroughly resigned themselves to their fate.

Now, these people were beginning to transition toward becoming a regular army.
