My Magical System

Chapter 212: Cultivating a land

There were about 15 people who came to the village early in the morning. They consisted of adults only, about ten men and five women.

Based on their ragged clothing, they seemed to be commoners. However, their appearances were comparable to that of a noble. They are both beautiful and handsome people. Even Eman himself could not explain why it always turned out this way. Whenever he makes them his pet, they become handsome and beautiful humans.

Eman welcomed them.

Aunt Claire was amazed by the fact that it was only a day and someone already came to the village. ‘Is it always this easy to recruit someone?’ She thought in doubt. ‘Also, this place was so far away from the main city. How did they arrive here a day after us?’ Although she was wondering, Aunt Claire chose to remain silent. Maybe, after Eman posted his recruitment notices in the guilds, some of the men and women read it and decided to come the next day.

After all, there were many kinds of people in the world. Some wanted to have a chance at a good life in a different place.

Regardless, she wasn’t sure of their reason for coming, but she had a strong feeling that it was related to the notices that Eman posted in the guilds of Main City. She saw Eman talking with the new people. And after half an hour of talking, they seemed to come into understanding as she saw the people nodding their heads repeatedly at him.

“How about the equipment needed for excavating the land, Young Lord?” Asked one of the men.

.....

“Don’t worry about the materials. I will find ways to get them.”

Aunt Claire was a little surprised that these people were so respectful towards him. And Eman already sounded like a village head. This made her chuckle a little. That kid who was supposed to be a whiny kid sounded so reliable at this very moment. Aunt Claire thought of the past Eman.

After their little meeting, Eman introduced them to Aunt Claire and Eina. There was no problem communicating with Aunt Claire, but Eina wasn’t the type who communicated with other people she only met for the first time. It was a difficult task for her to talk with them. Also, because of her past, she had a trust issue towards other people. Eman understood it as he was watching his sister.

Eman let the people roam around the place to find their accommodation inside the village after instructing them what to do. They were his people inside his Lord’s Domain. So he had no trust issue with them. But he still needed to put into account Aunt Claire and Eina’s feelings.

The women talked with Aunt Claire. They needed to build up a good first impression. Although, it was the most difficult job for him. But since he wasn’t the person in question, it was easy for him to ask them to do what they must do to build up a good relationship with other people. Also, his people needed to interact with real humans to learn more.

Eman thought. ‘Maybe it would be better to let Little Sky come. So Eina has someone to talk with.’ But he already had a plan for Little Sky. Therefore, Eman thought against it.

Among all his people, these 15 were the most elite in cultivating the land and some other chores. He appointed two of them as the village guard. The rest would be managing the other task.

“Aunt, I’ll be leaving for now. I needed to buy the needed materials,” Eman asked Aunt Claire.

He must buy the equipment needed for the village. He could buy them inside his Market section in his Interface, but Eman didn’t want to waste his Soul Points with the equipment that could be bought in this world. He rather buys them using his royal money.

“I see. Okay, be careful,” she sounded skeptical, but Aunt Claire also understood that it was needed.

He secretly asked some of his men to patrol the nearby area. Last time, together with Borris and Sky, they hunted the wild beast that could be seen around. Therefore, he believed that there weren’t as many wild beasts left in the surrounding area. But Eman still appointed some of his men to patrol the area, regardless. He needed to secure Eina and Aunt Claire’s safety.

Traveling back towards the main city takes a lot of time. He was even skeptical about going back to the academy. But since he was the new leader of the Merciless Clan, he needed to do his job.

The main reason for the long trip was mainly because of the uneven road. And he needed to walk a couple of miles to get to the nearby town to get a chance of a carriage. After all, no carriages were coming in the Sunville Village at the moment.

The carriage they used to ride here was even skeptical to transport them to this place. After all, this place was known as the den of bandits and most of the people in the empire had yet to know that it was already reclaimed by the empire. Well, since it was so recent that it happened, most of the people have yet to hear the news.

Thanks to Aunt Claire’s begging and Eman’s high fare offer, the coachman agreed in the end. But even so, they stopped a kilometer away from the village. So Eman, Eina, and Aunt Claire walked a kilometer away to reach the village.

Really, there were so many issues about the village at this time around. But Eman was very optimistic to develop this land into a proper town.

“Sooner...” he thought.

Eman did not forget to instruct his people that if ever an unforeseen predicament was to happen, their priority was to secure his Sister and Aunt Claire’s safety.

“Don’t worry, my lord, we will make sure nothing will happen to the young lady and your Aunt,” replied one of the females. Although they looked like innocent commoners, they were battle-oriented. They would kill their target without batting an eyelid.

Eman nodded.

Before leaving, he thought it was the right time to try his luck in the Gacha again.
