It's another early morning.

Ron woke up from his sleep and called Eileen to prepare some water to wipe his body.

As we enter summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

"Is Melitoa awake?" Ron asked casually after putting on his shirt.

On the side, Erin, whose ears were red, stumbled and replied: "I'm awake. Sister Joyce is teaching little Meili now."

Ron said "hmm" to express his understanding. After finishing breakfast, he went to the vegetable garden, which was his daily habit.

Some of the seeds brought back had withered, perhaps due to the weather or acclimatization, and they did not survive even on the best land in the Arnold Territory.

However, he was not too disappointed. The other seeds he planted sprouted, including the Red Flame Snake Fruit. Ron was a little relieved that there would be dozens more flavors on the table in the future, and the most important thing was chili peppers. .

After inspecting the vegetable garden, Ron walked towards the study, followed step by step by Eileen. When he arrived at the door of the study, Eileen stepped forward to open the door for his master.

Ron didn't go in immediately. His eyes fell on Eileen's maid costume. He usually didn't think anything about it, but now he felt stuffy when he saw it.

"Aren't you hot?"

Hearing the sudden inquiry, Irene was stunned for a moment and said: "It's a bit hot. I see that many people have changed into cooler clothes. Speaking of which, Master, it's time for you to change your clothes too."

Seeing that she didn't understand, Ron said bluntly: "Why don't you wear this heavy maid uniform, it looks too hot."

He originally thought that Irene would jump with joy, but Irene shook her head and said, "This won't work. The head maid said that the Baron's Mansion has its own rules. The maids wear maid uniforms and the attendants wear attendant uniforms. You can't mess with the rules."

Diana?

This is indeed very similar to what she said. Since the power in the mansion has been given to her, Ron can't interfere too much.

Moreover, what Diana said was very reasonable. There would be no rule without rules, and he understood.

"In this weather, it would be a lot more comfortable to eat popsicles." Ron said and walked into the study.

Popsicle? !

For some reason, Erin felt cool all over after hearing this word. She kept asking, "Master, what are popsicles? Can you teach me how to make them?"

——

White sugar is needed to make popsicles, and white sugar is a high-end luxury product in the aristocratic circle. The baron's palace also has this. It is not used much in daily life. It is only used to entertain guests at banquets on important events.

Therefore, it was impossible for Erin to use sugar privately. Seeing her dejected look, Ron stood up helplessly, "Let's go, I'll take you to get it."

If he, as the lord, comes forward, of course it won't be a problem.

Erin was so happy, her eyes were full of brilliance and she was extremely excited. Looking at her look, Ron chuckled.

After solving the sugar problem, Erin stayed in the kitchen, while Ron returned to the study. When he pushed the door open, he found Joyce already inside, but she was sleeping soundly on the table.

Too tired?

Ron thought to himself, and walked over slowly without disturbing her, looking at Joyce's sleeping face. She also had a document to be processed in her hand.

It can be seen that Joyce is very serious about completing the tasks assigned to her by Ron, so that she does not have enough rest time.

Ron stretched out his finger to Joyce and landed on her fingertips, and the character card was instantly generated.

Joyce's character card did not have entry attributes, so there was very little information. Ron looked at the favorability column and clearly saw [Favorability: 87 (Admiration)], which was not yet the level required by Ron to give entries to others. standard.

Just when he was hesitating, Joyce woke up, and when she saw Ron's face clearly in front of her, her expression changed drastically.

"Lord, I'm extremely sorry. I have neglected my duty. I will be punished according to the rules." Joyce looked ashamed, and when he saw Ron frowning, his heart tightened.

She didn't know that Ron was confused about something else.

When Joyce woke up, the two of them quickly separated from each other, but Ron still saw her favorability immediately change from 87 to 65, and the subsequent description was still 'admiration'. This strange phenomenon was what Ron saw. En frowned and thought about the reason.

"It's not your fault, it's my fault for not taking your schedule into consideration."

Now was not the time to delve deeper, so he smiled and told Joyce not to pay too much attention to it, even though the other person's character would take this incident to heart as a lesson.

"Did your lord come here to ask me to do something?" Joyce asked. Ron rarely stayed in the study these days, so it was not difficult to guess that he came here for something important.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk too much about her daily routine, Ron didn't force her. He nodded and said, "Didn't I say before that we would promote the teaching materials to the entire territory? We can start making preparations."

Hearing this, Joyce was shocked.

Just listen to Ron continue: "You have to prepare at least a thousand textbooks and ten classrooms for classes in three towns within half a month. I have already said hello to Egbert, he will Cooperate fully and you have the right to allocate funds."

"When you finish this, I'll tell you what to do next."

Ron's idea is very simple. If you want to improve people's intelligence, education is essential. Although dull people are easier to control, he wants to see new ideas appear in his territory.

Rather than ubiquitous production tools.

"Yes, Lord Lord."

Joyce bowed and accepted the order, then thought of something and said, "There is one more thing I need you to decide on."

Ron was about to leave when he heard this and glanced at her, but did not agree immediately, "Let's talk about it."

Joyce carefully considered his words and said: "This year is hotter than in previous years. Most of the farmland in the territory is experiencing drought, and the harvest is expected to drop significantly."

The soil in Arnold's territory is not suitable for planting, and an abnormal change in weather will be a disaster.

“How was this situation resolved in previous years?”

"Purchase from the Viscounty of Gordon."

Ron suddenly realized that the Arnold Territory and the Gordon Viscounty were connected, but the situation was completely different. The Gordon Viscounty was rich in agricultural products, and the excess grain could be sold externally.

After pondering for a moment but without a good idea, Ron said: "I will find a way to deal with this matter. Please handle the matters I told you first."

After saying that, he left the study.

There is no need to delay the drought of the land. It is still just the beginning of summer. When midsummer comes, the situation will become more serious.

Moreover, the previously reclaimed wasteland is still growing potatoes and cannot be allowed to continue.

He had thought about asking Viscount Gordon for help. Viscount Gordon was a second-level water magician and might have a way to control the drought.

Not to mention that Viscount Gordon cannot cast water magic over such a large area, it is unreasonable to ask a lord to water your farmland.

"It would be great if we could artificially rain."

Ron sighed, and his words were listened to by Nancy who happened to come to see him.

"What are you talking about? It sounds like a kind of alchemy." Nancy came to Ron for her own alchemy workshop. Since she made up her mind to stay, she must have a workshop of her own.

Seeing Nancy's arrival, Ron's eyes lit up. He explained the principles of artificial rainfall to Nancy, and finally asked: "Can you make it?"

Nancy looked at Ron in surprise, frowned and thought, "You should be able to do it if you give me some time. I need to calculate the synthesis formula."

Hearing this, Ron smiled. The top alchemist was indeed very reliable.

Ron said: "By the way, I've found someone to build an alchemy workshop for you. It's up to you to decide the location. Just tell Egbert and he will arrange it for you."

So he had already arranged it, Nancy thought to herself.

"That's pretty much it."

She raised her head, even though she was small, she looked full of arrogance, "By the way, in order to make what you want, I need alchemy equipment. I heard that you have a top forging master. Can I ask him for help? ?”

Of course, Ron would not refuse. He gave Nancy an address and reminded: "This Master Hadyi is bold and straightforward. You have to be careful. Forget it, I'll go with you."

Nancy slapped Ron's hand off her head in dissatisfaction, pouted and said, "Don't treat me like a child! I'm not your sister."

As she said that, she ran away. Ron looked at her back and shook his head and laughed.

——

In the garden courtyard.

Ron was lying on the chair, holding a beautiful dagger in his hand, which was the item he was writing entries for at this time.

This short sword was made by Hadyi after he obtained a new tool, and was presented as a gift to Lord Ron.

Being able to use the word 'offer', it is obvious that this is a weapon whose quality is not inferior to that of his shield.

In other words, this dagger is a blue item and has three entry slots!

[Dagger (blue)]

【picture】

[Entry 1: Shadowless (Blue)]

[Entry 2: Convincing people with reason (white)]

[Entry 3: Intermediate conduction (green)]

[Shadowless (Blue): Silent and invisible, hidden in the darkness. 】

[Convince people with reason (white): Act with reason in the world and refuse to fight or kill. When you attack any creature, you can be harmed by the opponent next to you]

——

Looking at the second entry, Ron's eyes darkened. Such an entry actually appeared on a weapon?

Are you embarrassed too?

Ever since he got this dagger, Ron had been brushing up entries every day and night. Through his unremitting efforts, Entry 1 quickly gained very powerful attributes.

Ron has tested this [Shadowless] attribute. As long as the dagger is placed in the shadow, no one else can notice it except him, the owner, even if it is in front of others.

In the eyes of others, the dagger does not exist and can only be observed when the dagger is exposed.

Moreover, in the process of wielding the dagger, there will be no resistance and no sound will be made.

The top assassination artifact.

Ron guessed that [Shadowless] should be the one with the highest quality among the blue entries.

So he kept the blue entry, then browsed the second entry, and encountered what happened above.

"Forget it, let's keep this one for now. There are three entries anyway, so let's finish the third one first." Ron's eyes fell on entry 3 of [Intermediate Transmission].

This entry is a built-in attribute of the dagger, and its effect is very simple. It improves the efficiency of the transmission of fighting spirit and can maximize its own strength when used.

But it was just a green quality entry, and Ron wasn't satisfied.

While scrolling through the entries, Ron thought about Abel and the others' favorability, and then thought about Joyce's favorability which changed from 87 to 65.

Apart from Sig, the ones with the highest favorability are Abel and Egbert, both with 94 points of favorability, which is only 1 point away from the standard set by Ron.

Perhaps it was because the Six Sig followed them to the royal capital. A lot of things happened during the journey, including killing the black crow, solving a major case, interrogating forcefully, buying gifts for everyone kindly, etc.

The favorability of the six people in Seager is much higher than that of the others, all of them are above 90 points, and Thomas reached 93 points.

The remaining four people are all at 91 or 92 points of favorability.

By the way, after writing an entry for Siegel that night, his favorability score went even further, reaching 98 points, and it continues to rise.

Ron was looking forward to what would happen when his favorability level reached full.

But why does the favorability suddenly drop?

Even Veronica's favorability level has reached 85 points. Ron thinks he treats Joyce well and there is no reason why his favorability level should be lower than Veronica's.

No, following this line of thinking, 87 points of favorability is the real favorability?

Ron remembered that Joyce was asleep at the time, and the drop in favorability occurred after she woke up.

The favorability on the character card only corresponds to Ron, not anyone else. No matter what the situation is, it shows his good opinion of Ron.

Thinking of this, Ron chuckled and showed a relieved smile, "What should I say? Joyce, you really maintain a rational mind all the time. You not only deceived the character card, but also deceived yourself. .”

As I said a long time ago, Joyce is an extremely rational person and she never acts emotionally.

In Ron's eyes, she had done nothing wrong. She exudes an aura of rationality, which is completely opposite to Veronica's emotional approach.

While getting along with Ron, she may have realized her admiration for the lord. It would be okay if she was an ordinary maid, but Joyce was ordered by the lord to handle the territorial affairs.

She has the responsibility to think rationally at all times, even when dealing with lords.

Ron guessed that not only he was treated like this, but maybe Joyce treated other people like this too, or even worse than him.

After a question came to an end, Ron stopped thinking about it. When he continued to write entries for the dagger, Irene came over with an anxious look.

"Master, Master! It's not good."

Ron gently rocked the armchair and said with half-open eyes: "What happened again? Are the popsicles ready?"

"Master, it's about the popsicles!"

Erin held the small grooved wooden box in front of Ron and said with gleaming eyes: "Master, we have no ice!"

Ron: "."

He lowered his eyebrows and glanced at the thing in Eileen's hand. In the groove of the wooden box was the popsicle syrup she made, and the wooden box was the mold for shaping.

Ron was impressed by how much mobility this guy had to go to try a new delicacy.

He asked calmly: "What's in it?"

Erin answered honestly: "I put pudding, beans, and some sugar."

Hearing this, Ron raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Go and ask Sig to come over and leave this thing behind."

Soon, Sig arrived.

"Lord, do you have any orders?" He was a little excited. Did the Lord have an important task for him?

Ron nodded, and then said to Eileen: "Go and make other flavors, and I will teach you better ones later."

"I'll go right away." Irene was delighted and left the garden in a hurry.

When Sig was confused, Ron's voice came, "Use your ability to cool this thing down."

Looking at the thing in front of him, Sig suddenly realized that the Lord was testing my ability to control it!

His expression became extremely serious, this time he would not let the lord down again!

Half an hour later.

Erin prepared several kinds of popsicle syrup with different flavors and went to the garden. Sig was nowhere to be seen in the pavilion, only Ron was eating a popsicle.

"Master, Master, what are you eating?" Irene's pupils were trembling, with a look of disbelief, as if she would cry in the next second.

"Possicles, you did it." Ron said frankly. It was also a joy to tease the simple maid every day.

Erin tried hard to suppress her sobs. She couldn't cry even if her nose was sore!

But the next second, Ron's words broke her defense, "Well, it tastes really good, but it's a pity that there is only one stick."

Woohoo~

Eileen finally cried, and Ron said helplessly: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. You can take these newly made things and go to Sig. He has a solution."

"Really?" After hearing this, Irene stopped crying.

"real."

By now, Irene also knew that the young master was teasing her and said, "You are so kind, young master. Don't forget your agreement."

Then he disappeared in a flash.

Ron shook his head and continued to write entries for the dagger.

On the other side, the blacksmith workshop.

After Nancy got the address, she quickly came over. She knocked on the door and asked, "Is Master Hadyi here?"

"Where are you, little girl? This is not the place you should be. Where are your adults?" Hadyi said impatiently. He received an order from the Cavaliers and needed to build a batch of equipment for Abel and the others. He was suddenly Excuse me, I'm in a bad mood.

"Wait! You're an elf!"

Hadyi's eyes suddenly widened with a look of astonishment on his face.
