"Lord, what are these newly recruited people for? For their work, we have to pay an additional 300 gold coins a month!"

"Don't worry, they will earn these 300 gold coins back."

"But we haven't made a gold coin yet!"

Fiona was a little helpless: "even if there are a lot of gold coins in the vault, she can't afford to spend like this."

"Fiona," said Donne earnestly, "if you want to make Ellington's economy active, you must first let the residents have gold coins available. I'm hiring these people to deliver gold coins to the residents."

"But how can we earn it back then?"

"Wait, soon, when I finish the plan... How's the situation at the blacksmith shop?"

"The mine has begun to transport iron ore to Ellington. Now it is only a small amount of inventory. A large amount of iron ore should be delivered in two days. Brian and Edgar are working overtime to manufacture waterwheel. Edgar has recruited several apprentices. After the apprentices are skilled, the efficiency will be higher. It is estimated that it will take a week for the waterwheel to be fully laid."

"Where's the guard?"

"The guard has begun to receive new training..."

Speaking of the guard, Fiona's face was very strange: "Lord, what training method did you use? I heard from Elsa that the guard people have been crazy these two days. After the training, they came home and ate a meal, slept directly in bed, and no one went to the pub to drink. Would this be too strict?"

"Ha ha..."

Donne smiled: "if they still have the energy to drink in the pub under this kind of training, it only means that the training load I give is not heavy enough... Don't worry, although it's more strict, at least they won't die on the battlefield."

"That's true, and I haven't heard any complaints from them. After knowing that this is your training method, they have a high enthusiasm for training."

"That's good... But I think the key is the reward of training."

"Reward?"

"I promise that the top three of each month's training will be given extra rewards and the last three will be punished."

"No wonder..."

"By the way, did you reply to the letter you sent?"

If Fiona's people can't come, Don will have to find a way to solve the problem of the caravan by himself.

"I have received a reply."

Referring to this matter, Fiona showed a happy face: "after they know my current situation, they are happy to come to you. Now they should be on the road and will come in a few days."

"Very good. Then shift the focus of your work in the past two days, start the preparation of the chamber of Commerce, and report to me after you sort out the specific things."

"I see - where are you going?"

"I'll find Elia."

Donne patted his ass and left.

"Elia! Elia again!"

Fiona frowned. Why has Donne been looking for the little girl these two days? Although the little girl is really cute and likable, as a lord, she doesn't work hard all day to find an orphan girl. If others know, I'm afraid Donne's reputation will stink!

Donne doesn't care. In his heart, Elia's importance is much more important than those so-called fame.

"Elia."

"Lord, big brother!"

Elia saw that Donne was very happy. She trotted over and hung it on him.

Donne hugged Elia and said with a smile, "how do you feel today?"

"Very good. The method taught me by my big brother is really easy to use. I can feel that those lovely little light balls are like obedient babies. If I think about it, they will all gather in my hand."

Elia said with a smile, stretched out her dirty little hand, and a colorful small light ball condensed in her hand.

Donne's eyes flashed and he was secretly shocked by Elia's magic affinity.

He only taught Elijah a simple magic control method these two days. Unexpectedly, she could do so. How terrible her talent is

"I see. Let them spread out. For the time being, don't let others know that you learn magic from me."

"All right."

Elia regretfully dispersed her magic: "I also want the little light ball to dance for my mother."

"Don't do that."

Donne shook his head. Before, the residents of Ellington regarded Elia as a monster when they saw her talent. Now she can't master her talent well. What if she scares people again?

It can be seen that Elia likes Clara and Elsa very much now. If Clara can't stand the shock and abandons Elia again, the little girl is estimated to be sad and dead. No matter how strong and optimistic she is, she will turn black.

"Today, let's try to gather only small blue light balls and make them agglomerate in your hands."

Although the fire element is more lively and is the easiest element to use, but because the fire element is too lively, children like Elia will lose control and hurt themselves if they are not careful, so Donne decided to start training Elia with the gentle water element first.

"Is that so?"

Elia opened her hand curiously, and a blue light in her palm was glowing.

"... no, that's right..."

The muscles on Donne's face twitched. I don't know whether it's lucky or unfortunate to have such a talented student.

"Next, we begin to learn how to release them. You should use your own consciousness to control the magic to wrap the water element, provide channels and energy for them, and then see the little flower in front? Aim at it and launch..."

As soon as Donne's voice fell, Elia shot an unusually sharp and ferocious water arrow. After piercing the flower, she opened a deep hole in the ground.

"Horizontal groove!?"

Donne was silly. His original meaning was to let Elia condense the water element, absorb the water in the air, form a stream of water to water the flowers, and make the little girl feel the convenience and joy of magic, but... What the hell is this!?

Maybe it's called water archery?

There is no such magic at all!

Even if he uses it, the water arrow doesn't have much lethality. At most, it has the ability to click back and wet the enemy.

But just at that moment, Donne even felt the air torn. It can be seen how powerful the speed and pressure of the water arrow are, which is comparable to the high-pressure water jet on earth!

This NIMA

"Big brother..."

Elia was startled and looked weakly at Donne: "did I do something wrong?"

"No, Elia, you did a good job."

Donne felt Elia's head with a dry smile: "just don't use this spell in front of others. It will hurt people."

"Ah... Big brother, is there any magic that won't hurt people?"

Elia looked forward to: "I want to help people with magic. I don't want to hurt others."

"Well, let's learn water making. I tell you, water is very important to people. People can live seven days without eating, but they will die three days without drinking. So water making is very important. It's also the reason why magicians are called Dharma Masters... Er, you can forget that."

Under the instruction of Donne, Elia easily mastered the zero order spell water making.

Donne was in tears.

Elia doesn't seem to have a gift for awakening, does she?

But... She actually mastered the water making technique and became a magic apprentice?

Is this hitting him in the face?

He's the jumper! Where is the aura of the protagonist!? Why are Elsa and Elia so sick!? What a shame!

Seeing Elia playing with a clear water stream out of thin air, Tang en felt a deep sense of frustration. With such a talented disciple, how can he show the strength of a full-level mage

"Elia, stop playing. I didn't expect you to learn water making so soon..."

Elia looked confused: "ah? Is this difficult?"

"... it's not very difficult!"

Donne broke the jar and said, "it's just a surprise. Elia, your talent is very good, so big brother is very happy."

So Elia was very happy.

"But I think it's better to start from the basics, so today I'll teach you some zero order spells. Look, this is a low light technique, which can illuminate the darkness around."

"This is cleansing, which can clean up dirt, dust and blood..."

"This is detection. It is a very important basic spell. It can detect the surrounding environment and enemies and find traps..."

"And this, arcane arrow, is the only lethal spell in the zero order spell..."

While explaining, Donne demonstrated the zero order magic for Elia. The zero order magic generally has no lethality. Most of them are auxiliary spells, but only these auxiliary spells have made the magic apprentice a very popular role in adventure.

It is needless to say the importance of detection and low light. Cleaning is also very convenient. It is a necessary spell for killing people, stealing goods, looting homes. The lethality of arcane arrows is not as good as that of bows and arrows, so there is no need to have much hope.

But the key is water making. As Donne said, water making is the root of Dharma Master.

Water is the source of life

The only pity is that prandal is different from the game world of Warcraft. Dharma Master can't rub bread. Here, bread is a divine skill that can be mastered by priests and knights in various temples.

Donne's face was filled with emotion, but Elia next to him was already astringently casting an arcane arrow to shoot the summoned Water Polo

Just then, Donne's face changed slightly. He suddenly felt a magic wave in the Lord's house - the transmission scroll was activated!

Did Baron duvier really dare to kill Ellington's messenger!?

"Elia, I'll go back first. Go home quickly. Remember not to let everyone know you're learning magic from me!"

"I see... Eh? Big brother?"

Elia turned her head when she finished, but found that Donne had disappeared. She couldn't help but deflate her mouth and scattered her magic to go home.
