After Aarons informed the city government of the need for manpower, he immediately received a large number of volunteer applications.
"Although I didn't pay for it, fifty people are too many! If such a large number of people run out, they will be targeted!"
Because he didn't want other nobles to find out what he was doing, Aarons deliberately limited the number of recruits to thirty.
After a simple "friendly discussion", the volunteers who applied for the project finally selected twenty-five "suitable" engineering team members.
"... Director Chen, do they usually compete for jobs in this way?"
"Yes, young master, for a soldier, this is also a kind of exercise."
The winners cheered, while the losers could only cover their swollen faces and get angry secretly - after all, fighting warriors are not as versatile as magicians, so the competition is relatively fierce.
"Now that the people have been selected, I'll ask Director Chen to send them to the mine first. Someone will be responsible for the contact there, and I will go there later."
"Understood, I will rent a car to send them there now."
Now that the problem of insufficient manpower has been basically solved, it is much easier for Aarons to do things.
Although this number is not large for a marquis, these people are different from the servants hired by ordinary nobles.
"In addition, young master, the people who went to various cities to collect intelligence will be back soon. I will give them to you after receiving the report."
"Oh, then I'll leave it to you."
-The reason they work for Aarons is not just to make money.
...
"Young master, although you have Miss Karin's protection, you still need to pay attention to safety."
Since there was nothing else to do, Aarons immediately changed into a set of clothes for a long trip after returning from the city office.
Karin had already changed into short leather boots and sleeveless vests suitable for outdoor operations, ready to set off at any time.
"If you encounter an enemy, please avoid the threat first, and then consider supporting others. You must remember that your own safety is the most important."
"Don't worry, Miss Xia Ye. If you really encounter an opponent that you can't solve, even if I have to sacrifice myself, I will definitely send the young master back safely."
"Don't say such unlucky words, but I remember it."
Seeing that Aarons obviously didn't intend to take this advice to heart, Xia Ye couldn't help but rub her frowning eyebrows with her hands, and then sighed deeply.
"Although I also know that Miss Karin is an excellent bodyguard, you'd better not treat her as an invincible existence. She also has limits."
"Don't worry. Then we'll set off."
After watching Aarons and Karin walk out of the yard side by side, Xia Ye couldn't help but sigh again.
- Although she didn't think Aarons would really encounter any danger, she felt that it was not good to relax like this.
"Miss Yang, why are you standing there sighing alone? You'll have more wrinkles."
"You don't need to remind me, old woman."
The wise Jiang Yue, who has neat dark purple neck-length hair and also wears glasses, exudes intellectuality and maturity all over her body. For some reason, she suddenly came to the side of the Aries beauty.
"Are you worried about the safety of the Marquis? In fact, you can also go with him."
"No, now there must be someone in the family to take charge of various affairs. Before the young master is officially married, this job can only be done by me."
"You are really dedicated, worthy of being the most trusted secretary of the Marquis."
Seeing Xia Ye's mouth corners raised an arc because of this compliment, Jiang Yue couldn't help but chuckle.
"Don't worry, I won't compete with Miss Yang for this job. I still prefer to do my technical research rather than dealing with those chores."
"If you dare to interfere, I will kill you."
Because the two do have some similarities in some aspects, Xia Ye is so vigilant.
But she herself didn't really understand why she valued her current identity and position so much.
She was a demon who could live as she pleased, but now she was worried that her position in this family would be taken away by others.
——Has her mentality changed?
"By the way, Miss Yang, I'm a little curious about something that happened before, and I want to ask you about it."
"Go ahead."
Looking at the Aries beauty who had meticulously groomed her long white ponytail and curly horns, with no flaws on her body, Jiang Yue suddenly showed a malicious smile.
"A few days ago... two days ago. That morning, I saw Miss Yang and Miss Wolf coming out of the Marquis' room together."
"We areDiscussing work with the young master. "
No one would believe this kind of statement that was not even a lie. Jiang Yue, who had rich life experience, knew that Xia Ye was talking nonsense, but she did not expose this lie.
"The state of the Marquis was quite bad that day. He looked like a towel that was forcibly dried. Because I was a little worried about his health, I used the instrument I brought to help him test it. "
After seeing a trace of haze on Xia Ye's expressionless face, Jiang Yue's smile became even brighter.
"The results of the test were quite shocking. I found that the Marquis's vitality had decreased by nearly one-fifth without any signs that day. If it cannot be replenished in time, then the life span will be shortened. "
-As if talking about something unrelated, Jiang Yue talked while turning around Xia Ye.
"But the next day, I discovered an even more incomprehensible phenomenon-the Marquis's vitality suddenly returned to normal, and it was a little more than before the loss. "
"Is that so? Maybe the young master has a special physique."
"So yesterday, when the Marquis came to the back to discuss the teaching plan with me, I specially did a detailed physical examination for him. So, I got a very interesting result."
At this time, Xia Ye not only frowned, but also seemed to have a fierce light flashing in his dark blue eyes.
After seeing such a change, Jiang Yue also put away the smile on her face.
"——The Marquis's vitality was actually deliberately replenished by someone."
"...Old woman, what do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is that the Marquis was obviously squeezed dry the day before, but the next day he suddenly recovered to the point of being lively and energetic - it is very likely that someone with an excessively surplus life span and who can live for a long time actively transferred his vitality. "
——At the moment when Jiangyue finished saying this, Xia Ye's eyes even showed a blood-red glow.
However, when she saw Jiangyue showing a playful smile again, she still forcibly suppressed her anger.
"So I am more curious, does Miss Yang know such a person?"
"I, don't, know. I have work to do, so excuse me."
"Oh, that's a pity. Then let's keep this as our secret."
After watching the Aries beauty who didn't know what she was hiding angrily and helplessly left, the wise Jiangyue who had seen through everything could not help but subconsciously reach out and pinch his chin.
"...What is the special charm of that marquis?"
