Will Count Vouches go mining in the valley? Of course not. He's still in bed and doesn't have the strength to mine. He needs to rest for a while.
Hehe~
Although Count Vorsis didn't have time to mine, Ed did.
Since the construction of the territory was completed, Ed has been relatively free every day.
Although he had nothing to do, everyone else was quite busy. The fact that everyone else was busy meant that the cement was being used up very quickly. The more cement was used, the less plaster was left.
So Ed decided to go to the valley and bring back some gypsum ore.
In the castle hall
"Andrew, what happened in the valley last time? Is there any danger if we go again?"
Ed sat at the long table, eating chestnuts and drinking herbal tea, living a life of unparalleled comfort.
Andrew was also eating a chestnut. He had seen this kind of chestnut before, but he had never seen it around the territory before.
"My lord, these chestnuts are delicious! Were they roasted?"
Andrew didn't answer questions about the valley, but instead asked about the chestnuts, clearly indicating that he wasn't concerned about the valley.
"Hehe, Andrew, these chestnuts are pretty good, aren't they? You should eat a few more, or there probably won't be any left tomorrow."
Ed was talking about Adelaide and Carly, who eat chestnuts every day. He's already roasted chestnuts several times, and there aren't many left of the chestnuts that Ma Si Ke brought last time.
"Um."
Andrew actually took another chestnut and started eating it seriously.
Ed wasn't in a hurry. He picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip. The herbal tea was now iced because the weather was getting hotter and hotter; it was early summer.
After eating a few chestnuts and drinking some herbal tea, Andrew finally started talking about the canyon.
"My lord, you don't need to worry about the valley at all. We are always very careful when we go there. We won't go into the valley easily."
"Well, Andrew, you've seen the construction of the territory now. We should prepare more gypsum ore."
Construction of the territory is proceeding smoothly. Although there are still some gypsum mines, it's always good to have more, just in case something unexpected happens and construction has to stop.
"Yes, my lord, I'm going to send Eric this time. What do you think?"
Ed looked at Andrew. It was fine for Eric to go, since he had been there several times already. Judging from Andrew's appearance, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Besides, we can't rely on Andrew forever; the territory also needs other people to lead the teams out.
"Yes, Eric is quite good, but we still need to do things the same way as before. We can't stay there for long. We need to finish mining and leave immediately. Also, we can't all go mining. Someone needs to watch the entrance to the valley."
"Yes, my lord. That gypsum mine is easy to mine and won't take long. We won't touch the silver mine."
Ed was quite satisfied with Andrew's work; there were never any mistakes.
"Then Andrew, I'll leave this matter to you."
Ed left the mining to Andrew. He only needed to see the ore, regardless of when he went or how many people went.
"My lord, no problem, I can handle it."
"Yes, the defenses on the mountains surrounding Chitie Village must be strengthened. The city wall is already under construction to the east. Although there are basically no people coming to those mountains, we must still be careful."
"Yes, my lord, I'm currently mostly in Crimson Iron Village."
Andrew initially came to Red Iron Village to oversee the manufacture of weapons and armor, but now he's gotten used to living there.
Just as the two were discussing matters concerning the territory, Carly rushed in.
"Lord Ed, is your soap still not ready?"
