CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 42 REVEALING THE BOTTOM (5K)_3

Magical Beast Tide...

Lin Ke didn’t know what to say.

It turns out that Viscount Garoce returned this year not only for his bloodline enlightenment but also to solve the magical beast tide that occurs every six years.

However...

This time there’s Ove.

With Teacher Ove’s strength, as long as the Great Swamp’s magical beast tide doesn’t have any overly powerful magical beasts, it can be resolved.

Garoce is just a few levels; if he can handle it, then Ove can as well.

"I... I’ll think of a way too." Lin Ke’s eyes were determined.

Nobles have rights, but they also have obligations to fulfill.

He enjoys the love and support of his people, so he should also bear responsibility; this is one of his principles as a person.

The lady avoided Lin Ke’s gaze and waved her hand:

"Alright, go back and rest. Your task now is to grow. Leave the rest to me and your mother. I just hope that once you become a professional, you won’t get too arrogant; I’ll handle these issues."

The lady turned around and continued to daze at the moon.

So, Lin Ke returned with a mind full of concerns.

Debts, magical beasts, war... and the curse a year later...

The curse, Lin Ke asked Ove about it.

Even someone as strong as Ove couldn’t detect the ’curse’ on him, so Lin Ke could only hope for help from others.

The King of Gods’ curse is still a significant matter.

If not, a year later, those who sense the aura of the King of Gods’ heir might all come rushing in.

...

The next day, on the vast lawn in front of Azaenn Castle, guards, servants, and slaves were building a square wooden platform.

The wood used for the platform was made from hundred-year-old trees from the southern forest, very sturdy, and was supported by many huge stones underneath.

Besides people, there were hundreds of Servants of Truth busily transporting wood and other materials back and forth.

Ove was in the sky, controlling these level one Servants of Truth.

Lin Ke stood beside the wooden platform, with Butler Billy, John, and Knicks behind him.

"Uncle Billy, is my mother alright?" Lin Ke asked softly, always worried about Fulon’s condition.

"The second lady is reading interesting books and enjoying delicious brunch in the company of the lady," Billy replied with a bow.

Billy had two faint dark circles under his eyes, indicating a long night of work, handling several level one professionals sent by the baron.

He also had to keep the news sealed to prevent panic within Azaenn Castle and the five villages.

"Good." Lin Ke nodded slightly.

He finally assured Fulon that Garoce would surely return within this year, even pledging this with Ove’s name.

Initially, neither Fulon nor Antova believed, but when Ove himself mentioned having news, they became half-convinced.

At least, normal life could be maintained.

Thinking of his mother regaining her smile and innocence, Lin Ke felt happy, so he smiled and asked Knicks: "Knicks, have all the villagers from the five villages been notified?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin Ke, I spent the entire morning notifying everyone."

Knicks didn’t feel particularly exhausted, possibly because of his fast speed.

Moreover, the vast meadow wasn’t far from those villages; even from a distance, smoke from the chimneys could be seen.

"Alright, we’ll start in the evening."

Lin Ke nodded.

Near Azaenn Castle, there were five villages, and these five villages were almost entirely self-sufficient.

Household items were only bought in Parrot City occasionally, and sometimes they would follow the procurement team from Azaenn Castle.

These villages cultivated land, grew crops, vegetables, and fruits.

Except for in winter when they needed to recruit low-level professionals from Parrot City to fend off some beasts or magical beasts from the Great Swamp, at other times, it was like a peaceful utopia.

However, in Lin Ke’s eyes, this was simply a waste!

Those vigorous, strong young men just did farm work all day, then awkwardly flirted with young girls, and in the evening, using traditional skills to expend their energy.

Those meticulous, skillful young girls were either openly or bashfully flirted with all day, then engaged in farm work that required little physical effort.

What a waste!

These are not just chives... ahem, these are human resources!

If the capitalists from the previous life saw so many idle people, they would shed tears of joy.

Lin Ke is not a capitalist and does not plan to develop a profession of [Capitalist] here; he just wants to earn money to pay off debts.

280,000 gold coins is not a small amount; what if that Deep Blue Duke happens to lack money and marches his army?

In reasonable situations, Ove can protect him, but in the case of debt repayment, Ove can’t really say much.

So, Lin Ke is setting up this platform to make money!

By the end of the year, to pay off debts.

Just thinking about it is stressful, even more so than those with mortgages in the past life.

Antova and Fulon are likely unreliable; in the end, either assets will need to be sold off, or the lady will have to borrow money from her family.

Therefore, Lin Ke can only come up with ways himself, like opening a factory, or... entertainment.

Setting up the platform, a stage.

Of course, beyond making money, the stage is linked to Lin Ke’s envisioned profession—[Inventor].

After much thought, Lin Ke finally decided that he wants to be an [Inventor]!

Yes, to invent!

If the skill of a [Scholar] is to gain insights through research and study activities, in Lin Ke’s vision, the [Inventor] profession is to gain feedback through invention, creation, and other activities.
