Red Sand Territory.
In the few days since Richard left, Red Sand Territory has changed a lot.
The sand on all the streets had been replaced, and the smell of urine and dried feces was gone.
After the people finished these tasks, they were sent to clean up the Nansha River, widen the river channel, and remove the silt accumulated in the riverbed.
Working under the scorching sun was no easy task, but no one complained because the lord had sent an important signal.
We must reclaim the water source!
The Nansha River was cut off for three years, the oasis gradually shrank, and large areas of poplar trees withered and died.
No one can live without water; this is a truth that every Red Sand Territory resident understands from childhood. But it is hard to leave one's homeland, and no matter how unbearable it may be, it is still the place where they were born.
They certainly hoped that the river could flow full of water as before, and that the oasis could become green again.
As for whether the lord can get Huangshi Territory to open the dam, is that even a question?
Look at those knights, so majestic and imposing in their magical armor, with their broad, azure swords taller than themselves.
What the old lord Seric couldn't do, the new lord might be able to do. Red Sand Territory will surely win a great war!
In addition, the earthen walls of Chishabao were raised to more than four meters.
They simply added a wooden board around the existing low wall, which was better than nothing. Richard had instructed them before he left that they didn't expect the wall to block anyone, but mainly to prevent spying.
What happens inside must not be seen by outsiders.
More than forty stone houses were built, making the area inside Chisha Fort extremely crowded. The gray-black stone bricks stood out conspicuously against the yellow earth mounds.
When Nia and the other maids first saw the little hammer flying in the air, they thought it was a ghost and several of them hugged each other and screamed in fright.
The Chiffon Guards who remained behind laughed heartily, telling them that this was the lord's magical power and there was nothing to fear.
"Does Your Highness know magic?" Nia asked timidly.
"They know more than just magic." The guards were all ecstatic when they mentioned their lord.
"The lord knows a lot, you have to get used to it. You can't shout about everything you see, or you'll embarrass Qi Feng."
After a few days of contact, the maids learned quite a bit from the guards, such as that the lord did indeed have a main territory in the North called Chiffon.
Red Sand Territory is just a temporary stop; they will be granted fiefdoms sooner or later. If they perform well, the lord will take them back to Chiffon.
Then they will see what true greatness is.
There were flowers covering the entire street, magical lights that glowed everywhere, pipes with running water in the houses, and even a castle built in the clouds.
Wow!
A flying castle!
Whether the maid is real or not, just hearing about it makes one yearn for it.
The maids were all young girls, and they were certainly eager to see the outside world. The young people of Chisha Territory were like that, and almost all of them left.
Those with skills went to Huangshi to make a living, while those without skills went to Hongyan to do hard labor. Those who remained were the old, weak, sick, or disabled, or those who had nowhere else to go.
If we don't leave now, we'll rot in this sand for the rest of our lives.
So when Richard returned to Red Sand Castle, the maids worked harder than ever.
They massaged my shoulders, served me drinks and water—they were incredibly attentive. I just wanted to see the legendary flying castle as soon as possible.
Richard was soaking in the bathtub, his head resting on a soft cashmere pillow, so comfortable he wanted to sigh.
I haven't had a proper shower in the days I've been in the Eastern Territory. The wind still carries sand, and I can shake off half a pound of dirt every time I turn over in bed at night.
It was arguably the most agonizing experience he had had since transmigrating.
The water was brought by Nia; she had specially collected several buckets of muddy water from the Nansha River while Richard was away.
After letting it sit and filter, then boiling it again, you can get clean drinking water. Richard took it for a bath as soon as he got back, and Nia is now blushing as she scrubs his back.
Looking at the well-behaved and intelligent girl, Richard chuckled and praised her, "You've done a great job tidying up Red Sand Castle while I was away."
Nia was overjoyed. "I'm glad you don't mind."
Hearing that soft, sweet voice, Richard felt a strong urge to seduce it. Without a doubt, he had to carry on the great tradition of the lord.
—Teasing the maid!
Richard then teased Nia until she blushed.
Having witnessed the lord's hidden weapon, she could no longer be treated as an ordinary person, so Nia was promoted to personal maid and put in charge of internal affairs of Red Sand Castle.
The next morning, Richard asked Nia to have breakfast with him.
Porridge made with Iridium wheat, blueberries marinated in Iridium honey, and a small dish of crispy fried bacon.
Nia had never seen these things before; she had only heard about those purple-glowing foods from other people's boasts.
She took a bite and felt lightheaded.
Then she discovered that there was another entity in her body called life energy.
Advance to the initial extraordinary level!
When the other maids saw Nia being held in the lord's arms and whispering secrets to him, and being given a handful of gold coins as pocket money, they were green with envy!
Good heavens!
That's at least ten gold coins!
In the past, adventurers risked their lives in the scorching desert, and were lucky to earn twenty or thirty silver coins each time.
Even so, you still need to buy all sorts of expensive potions and tools; if you make a mistake even once, it will be a huge loss.
Free citizens like them, even if they work hard their whole lives, probably wouldn't be able to save up that much money.
With his stomach full and his back empty, Richard was finally able to get down to business.
Once the portal opens.
If we don't open it soon, the grain stored in the Red Sand Warehouse will be eaten up.
The portal was located inside the walls of Red Sand Fortress, concealed by three stone houses built in a triangular pattern on three sides, with only one exit, making it very well hidden.
Select location.
open!
A flash of white light appeared on the ground, and a square hole suddenly appeared.
"Wow!" Anthony was the first to come out of the cave. After taking a look at the surrounding area, he immediately frowned.
"My lord, isn't this eastern region far too dry?"
The drought in the North is only a climatic issue; there is little rainfall, especially in the Chiffon Wilderness, where the Sudden Snow River is nearby and the Arctic Ocean is in the distance.
The drought in the Eastern Territory is so severe that the air is completely dry. If you are not used to it, even ordinary people will experience chapped and peeling skin if they stay there for a long time.
