Simon felt a chill in his heart, completely reshaping his perception of the young master he had watched grow up.
"Grandpa Simon, thank you for your efforts over the years. If there are any similar issues, feel free to tell me. I believe I can solve them," Xiar said, not intending to explain further. After all, such matters would only increase in the future; it was better to lay everything out now.
The Steward had served the family for decades, and his descendants were also dedicated to the Mestlin Family, so there was no need to worry about him betraying the family.
"Alright, then I'll go calm the panicked subjects," the Steward sighed. As he left, his steps slowed considerably, clearly shaken by the recent events.
Previously, Baron Bougiano had been equally forceful, but all his actions, even ordering guards to kill, fell within what the Steward could understand.
Now, however, many things had completely exceeded his imagination, leaving him with a sense of outdated frustration…
In this world, only power was the ultimate truth.
Xiar was now firmly convinced of this; he did not have time to waste arguing with Viscount Mark.
Although the latter commanded thousands of private soldiers and even had several School-Level Warriors among them, they were insignificant to him. There was no need for Vajra Mi Luo to intervene; merely relying on Venomous Stinger Bees would be enough to utterly destroy the opponent's private army.
Xiar opened the map and placed his finger on Moonlight Forest.
Deep within the forest lay Moonlight Lake, the source of several rivers in the area. Beneath it flowed abundant underground water resources, forming a torrent that fed into Seine River at the northernmost part of Shining Gold Town.
Seine River originated from the western snow-capped mountains of Antu County in northern Farn County and flowed into Storm Harbor. It was a large river comparable to the Pearl River from his previous life, serving as a vital transportation artery for both counties.
However, Shining Gold Town could only provide the cheapest timber and furs; despite having such a rich golden water source, it struggled to develop.
"I don't have much time left here; I must quickly find a sustainable path for the territory," Xiar said, his gaze fixed on the map, particularly the northern and western regions of his domain.
He planned to study in Morent for two months before returning directly, relying on the knowledge he would gain and the resources he possessed to establish a vast base.
Xiar understood that one person could not do everything alone. Having a group of excellent subordinates would make his future endeavors much smoother.
During this trip to Morent, he was determined to find a few top talents for the future, even if he had to forcefully recruit them!
Talent was crucial not only in his past life but also immensely important in this new world.
"The simplest solution right now is to cultivate a few Evolved Grade Totems skilled at clearing paths and directly open up access to the iron mine!" Xiar muttered to himself.
With the strength of an Evolved Grade Totem, their power was equivalent to dozens of ordinary people. If given a sufficiently sharp axe, they could fell hundreds or even thousands of large trees in no time!
Next came the critical issue of transportation. The timber could be shipped via water to Storm Harbor, and for road construction, rocks would need to be transported and laid down.
"It's a pity I don't have much time; otherwise, I would definitely enjoy some farming gameplay," Xiar sighed, shaking his head. After clarifying his thoughts, he walked out of the study, ready to get to work.
As soon as he stepped outside, he encountered a charming young girl approaching him—it was Erin, now free from her disguise.
The girl looked entirely different from before; her presence made the guards and servants swallow hard as she walked by.
With her true appearance restored, her silver hair flowed smoothly and shone brightly. Her fair skin revealed a youthful glow, adding an alluring charm. She still had a delicate figure but appeared vibrant and healthy, with a rosy hue on her cheeks.
She was wearing a costume meticulously tailored for her by Xiar.
A black pointed wizard hat adorned her head, complemented by a silver-white wizard robe, black knee-high boots, and a black cloak draped over her shoulders. Mysterious magical patterns were embroidered on her chest, and she appeared before him as a character from a certain series.
"Xiar, this outfit looks so beautiful!" After regaining her daughter's form, Erin was completely back to normal, joyfully admiring her attire. She twirled around and shyly asked, "Does it look good?"
"Yes, it's fantastic! I didn't expect it to look this great," Xiar said lightly, clapping her hands and genuinely praising her.
However, Erin's future could be described as tragic; it seemed like a punishment for someone who could see the future.
Her Totem Beast had little combat power before the Super Evolution, leaving her pitifully weak and reliant on others.
Many sought to exploit her, hoping to gain astonishing rewards through her foresight.
There were all kinds of people; even among Fate's Seven, three attempted to take advantage of her. Only heroes like Rody and Leslie thought of collaborating with her rather than simply using her.
In the end, the Seer completely attached herself to the King of Strength, Rody, becoming his most capable assistant. She even went so far as to find crucial items for him through prophecies that turned against her.
Thus, Rody was able to eliminate everyone and emerge as the ultimate victor, thanks in no small part to her existence!
Now, such a person stood vividly before him, treating him like family.
"Hehe, I didn't expect your taste to be quite good. I'm very satisfied," Erin said with a smile as she playfully patted his shoulder, resembling a friendly neighbor sister.
"Sister..." He felt a stir in his heart as he thought of that elusive older sister.
Unfortunately, neither he nor the original owner of this body had any strong feelings for her. Perhaps he would look for her when the opportunity arose in the future.
"Are you thinking about another woman?" Erin tilted her head, scrutinizing him. It was undeniable; a woman's intuition was quite remarkable.
"Not really. I was just thinking about Sister Lia. I wonder how she is doing now." Xiar did not hide his feelings, and a faint sadness appeared on his face.
"Sister Lia has been away for nearly a month now, participating in the battle against the rebels. It's indeed quite concerning," Erin sighed.
She was already familiar with Xiar's family situation, so she had no doubts.
"Yes, I hope Sister Lia returns safely." Xiar's tone was low and sorrowful. He then greeted her, "Erin, I'm going out for a bit. Would you like to come along?"
"Where are you going?"
"To the town. I want to find a few people and check on the situation in my territory since I'm currently responsible for managing Shining Gold Town." Xiar smiled as he spoke.
"Of course! If you don't mind, I'd love to go with you." Erin's eyes sparkled with excitement. Coming from a merchant family, she was completely unfamiliar with matters related to nobility and was naturally very interested.
"Then let's go."
