Heading towards Kree Martha Lich Knight Chapter 23: Although the Hilder Chamber of Commerce has been in a row, things seem to be back on the track that Jones expected to make money, pay off debts, and then make money, expand the castle, and become a great lord of the blood clan.

The goal seems to be close.

"If I could earn 50,000 gold coins a year, I could pay off my debts in two years. In another eight years, by the time I had ten years, I would have had 400,000 gold coins! 400,000 gold coins! That would do a lot of things, and I could expand the castle several times! Of course, I might also buy another castle to completely get rid of this Hydra!"

"I even kind of thanks to the goblin who sold the castle to me. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have owned a castle and a territory so soon. Although my debt has not been paid back, strictly speaking, this castle cannot be mine, but it will be mine soon! Hahahaha!"

Thinking of it, Jones suddenly felt that his future was full of hope. He began to hum a song while walking.

In the next few days, while waiting for Adolf's arrival, he focused on sorting out the castle's internal affairs.

First of all, a major cleaning is essential. I just cleaned up Hydra's feces before. I wanted to clean up the castle to be suitable for living, but it was still far away. There was still a lot of waste in the castle.

It was basically left by the former owner, and most of them had been run over by Hydra, so it can be said that they were too useless to be abandoned. The possibility of reuse was ruled out.

Of course, there are also some complete, but they are all worthless, such as pots and pans. Since Jones is not a lord of the life department, all of these things were given to the dwarves. Or to be more precise, Jones moved all the garbage out and threw it on the ground, and the dwarves looked for themselves whether there was anything to use, and then moved all the remaining garbage out and found a place to bury it.

In fact, the reason for doing this was mainly because Jones didn't want to dig a hole and buried it by himself, which was too troublesome. Unexpectedly, the dwarves were very happy. They cheered with smiles, and even the wine barrels were happy.

Looking at the dwarves running around the ground with joy, Jones was a little puzzled.

"Why? It's just something useless. Is it worth being so happy?"

"Because it's your own." Jiuzhu replied softly: "As slaves, you cannot own your own private property. All of us belong to the slave owners. And what you just promised to find belongs to us. Isn't this worth being happy?"

Jones was stunned for a moment and stared at the barrel.

"What's wrong?" asked Jiu Chuan.

"Nothing." Jones took a deep breath and said, "I was just a little surprised. I had never thought about what a slave wanted or liked. How to say it... I hope you don't mind. Before, I always thought that a slave was a slave, and when he was born, he was a slave, just like a tool, that's all."

"There is nothing to mind about. Every slave owner thinks so. What is not like to think so is another way." The wine barrel smoked, looked at the happy dwarves with a smile, and said softly: "You actually think about why we are happy, which surprised me."

After thinking about it, the wine barrel took out another cup, poured a glass of liquor and handed it to Jones: "Come on, let's have a drink, I wish you a smooth mining operation, and I wish you a new blood genius rich man."

Jones hesitated to take the cup and met the wine pot of the barrel: "I wish you all the best to restore your freedom."

The barrels were still busy exploring and preparing for mines, while Jones was busy cleaning up the castle.

Most of the dwarves were idle, so Jones simply asked them to help.

Hydra is still hibernating. The dwarves probably really think that Hydra was raised by Jones, and they all took the courage to walk into the castle.

With more people, the cleaning speed has also increased significantly. In just two days, they not only moved all the debris in the castle from top to bottom, including the dungeon, but also transported water bucket by bucket, and washed the entire castle from top to bottom.

This is a big project.

Since it is cleaning the environment where you live, Hydra also cooperates.

After two days, the entire castle was completely refreshed inside and outside. The only problem was that it was empty and nothing was there.

"Do we need to make some furniture for you?" a dwarf asked Jones.

"You can make furniture?" Jones asked back.

"Of course, our furniture is made by ourselves. Dwarves don't just make iron and mine. As long as there is wood, we can make any furniture."

"Then...I'll pay you? You can save it to redeem yourself."

So, Jones solidly experienced the benefits of having a bunch of dwarfs "friends".

He gave a long list of furniture that was enough to fill the entire castle. In addition to his own room, there were Dora's room and ten other rooms. Don't ask why there were so many rooms. Mainly Jones felt that the rooms in the castle were empty and very uncomfortable, and the price offered by the dwarf was very low.

With only five gold coins, they contracted the furniture of Jones's entire castle. Not only the furniture, but also various carved patterns on the furniture, which looked very high-end, except for the lack of paint. But Jones didn't mind.

Everyone was busy, the castle was going on every day, and the hibernating Hydra couldn't help but open their eyes to see these smiling dwarves.

"Sir, are there anything else that can be done? It's the kind of thing that comes with a reward." A dwarf ran to Jones.

Well, it doesn’t take so many people to make furniture, so some of the dwarves are idle. These people can’t sit still when they see others making money.

After thinking about it, Jones could only answer helplessly: "No more for the time being."

"Toilet." Hydra behind her whispered.

"Okay, I almost forgot." Jones scratched his head.

So Jones asked the dwarves to help transform the castle and build a toilet for Hydra. The price was ten gold coins.

The dwarves who received the new mission cheered with joy.

Looking at the dwarves' excited appearance, Jones also smiled: "Others' slaves are very lazy and have to whip them. Look at my slaves, they are very diligent and even ask me for a job by themselves."

"That's because Lord Jones is willing to pay." Dora said with a smile: "No slave owner would be willing to pay slaves. If they want to pay, why don't they find a servant? Lord Jones is the only one."

Jones suddenly thought of something and said, "I seem to have... never paid you before."

Dora shook her head quickly: "Dora doesn't need money, Dora won't redeem herself. Dora just needs to follow Lord Jones for the rest of her life."

Those eyes seemed to radiate light.

Jones was stunned.

In fact, to put it bluntly, building a toilet is also very simple. It is to dig a canal and bring the water from the moat into the castle hall. In this way, Hydra's excrement can be washed away along the water flow.

In a blink of an eye, four days have passed since he returned from Hield. Although the originally dilapidated castle has almost no change from the outside, the interior has been cleaned up very comfortably. It is really like the castle of a blood clan lord.

Standing in front of his castle, Jones happily paid the fifteen gold coins with pride.

The dwarves were also very happy because they had already started to save money to restore their freedom before they started mining gold. The entire territory was full of joy.

...

At dawn, Jones and Dora turned into bats and flew towards their homes.

"Do I have anything else to do? It seems that there is nothing left. I can't help with exploration and mining. Next, I'll wait for Adolf to send someone over."

"When will Mr. Adolf send someone over?"

"I don't know, he said it would take some time to prepare. But it should be soon. He said he would ask me to go to him next time the brothers gather, and he should be ready by then."

"Where does he live?"

"It shouldn't be surprising just living in Hilde, after all, he is so rich. For him, the problems that money can solve are not problems, and all we need is money. Just right."

"How should we thank him for helping us like this?"

"Actually, what I am most satisfied with is this. No. Because we make money together, making more money is the best thanks. If he borrowed me directly from 200,000 gold coins, I would not dare to ask for it. After all, it would be a favor to repay it, and I don't know how to repay it."

With his wings flapping, Jones landed on his own balcony.

The weather is pretty good today, so Jones, who hasn't been home for four days, specially selected this day and specially selected dawn because the place where their home is located is not divided day and night.

However, as soon as he pushed open the balcony door, Jones was stunned. Because Jones' parents were sitting in his room, looking at him expressionlessly. Earl Dracula was still crossing his hands, and it was obvious that the visitor was not good.

"Father, mother. I'm back." Jones shouted, and silently, under the gaze of his parents, he took Dora and was about to leave the room.

"stop."

Jones had no choice but to stop.

"Let's go back."

Jones had to turn around with his teeth.

"Where have you been there these days?"

"I..." Jones stammered, "I'm going, Adale's house."

"But Adair's housekeeper sent someone to find you yesterday." The Countess said expressionlessly.

Jones' heart suddenly skipped a beat and began to sweat.

Count Dracula said, "I have been looking for you for two days. I originally made an appointment to visit your Aunt Sarah's house today, but because I can't find you, I can only cancel it. What are you doing these days?"

Jones blinked and tried hard to make excuses, but for a while, he couldn't think of it and could only be frozen.

Dora lowered her head and stood silently beside her.

The Countess then asked, "And, that female werewolf."

"What's wrong with her...?"

"You didn't tell me that she was worth 30,000 gold coins. The housekeeper of Adair said you know she was worth 30,000 gold coins."

Jones was startled: "Mother, you won't...sell her, right?"

"What are you talking about? How could I sell her from Adair's gift?" the Countess said angrily: "I mean since you know she is worth 30,000 gold coins, how can you let her live in a dungeon? And, how can you let her eat the zombies? What if you keep them dead?"

Jones wiped her sweat silently: "It's my fault, I'll prepare a new room for her now."

"No need, I have prepared a new room for her. There are new clothes and food. I have also ordered the kitchen. I can handle such expensive gifts at will, and I don't know what you think. I am in my seventies, can't even handle this matter well?"

"Didn't you say you don't like her?" Jones asked cautiously.

"But she is worth 30,000 gold coins."

"Didn't you say there will be no blood clan to raise a werewolf as a pet?"

"But she is worth 30,000 gold coins. Is this reason not enough?" the Countess spread her hands and said, "And look carefully, she looks pretty good."

Jones rolled his eyes quietly.

The Countess said worriedly: "I am worried now that you should give Adal back what gift you received such a valuable gift? If you don't give it back, will it make him feel that we are uneducated people? This may affect your friendship with him. We cannot give out a gift worth 30,000 gold coins at all."
