Chapter 006: A Blood Incident Triggered by a Slice of White Bread

"What do I care if you caught a ghost! Did you not see that just now there wasn't even a single guard beside me? From now on, remember that my safety is the top priority!" Bruno shouted somewhat angrily

Perhaps it was the icy lake water that left him feeling completely chilled, as the young man suddenly shivered and widened his eyes in surprise

The young mage cried out in pain, unable to contain himself, as Bruno's punch struck with such force that it caused the man to bleed from his nose

Upon hearing Bruno's statement, Shabi couldn't help but be taken aback. Indeed, the Count is still able to heed everyone's advice...

"Oh? Then tell me, how should I treat you?" Bruno said with a smile that was neither fully a smile nor fully not.

Although Bruno has only just crossed over to this world for a few days, he is already aware of the existence of magic within it. He quickly realizes that the scene before him is likely some form of magic as well

If the old butler were to find out that Bruno had such a wasteful thought in his presence, he would surely want to tear him to shreds

This is a young man in his early twenties. Although his light purple garment has been torn to shreds by his guards, it is still evident that it is not an ordinary item.

The disheveled mage widened his eyes and said, "On what grounds do you tarnish someone's innocence..."

Swish

Bruno glanced at him and said lightly, "You should really think about how to arrange the collection of manure when you return..."

The construction of an aerial garden will be a monumental project, requiring substantial human resources, materials, and financial investment. It is not merely a waste of money; more importantly, it involves a scarcity of materials.

If one cannot even accomplish this, how can one have the audacity to claim to be a time traveler? This is simply a disgrace to countless predecessors of time travelers

Although his face was smeared with some mud and there were fresh bloodstains on his head, he was still handsome and refined, unlike an ordinary person.

After a short while, those personal guards who had rushed out on their own finally returned, which undoubtedly relieved Bruno

% # % % ... ... ''

Chase!

Shabi tightly clung to Bruno's thigh, his face full of pleading, hoping that Bruno would change his mind soon

"My lord, do not be afraid, I am here!" Shabi finally stumbled to his feet, rubbing his somewhat sore knees, and said with a mischievous smile.

Is this ... ... magic

Having said that, he completely fainted.

The leading bodyguard clearly wanted to showcase his abilities in this hard-won opportunity, so he took the lead and charged into the jungle.

Oh dear

The swords were drawn, and the accompanying guards almost instantly aimed their blades in the direction of the white-faced man

I am fortunate not to have failed in my duty, and I have captured this person!" The guards led by him respectfully saluted Bruno and said in a deep voice

She raised her head, her eyes darting around in a panic as she furtively assessed the people surrounding her

Hey! What are you all doing? Come back! Come back and protect me!

However, the guards had long since departed, and Bruno's cries could no longer be heard

As if to bolster his own courage, he finally mustered the bravery to shout in a trembling voice: "I am a noble mage! You cannot treat... treat me this way!"

Bruno heard Shabi's call, turned around, and happened to see the piece of white bread floating in mid-air

After being scolded harshly by Bruno, the once smug bodyguard suddenly wore a worried expression. Well, not only had the reward been revoked, but it was also fortunate that there was no punishment.

The daily consumption of hundreds and thousands of serfs alone amounts to a significant figure, not to mention that such a project cannot be completed in just one or two days

Moments later, just when people thought everything was about to come to an end, a sound of "biu" was heard, and that piece of white bread suddenly shot into the nearby jungle like an arrow released from a bow

Servants like Shabi have mostly been dependent on the Stuart family for generations, having started working for them since the time of their great-grandfathers, and they are undoubtedly loyal to Bruno

You ... ...

When Bruno came to his senses, he realized that beside him, there was only the shivering Shabi still clinging to his thigh.

He could be seen holding his bleeding nose, loudly complaining that

After throwing a tantrum, Bruno finally took a close look at the unfortunate fellow who had been captured by the guards

"Shut up!" Hearing the cries all around, Bruno gritted his teeth and commanded loudly

A large amount of labor requires a substantial supply of food, and food is undoubtedly the most precious resource during the winter.

"Bastard!" Bruno kicked the defenseless Shabi aside, feeling somewhat frustrated as he scolded, "I must definitely discipline the guards when I return. Don't they understand that protecting me is the primary duty of a bodyguard!"

Bruno had no patience to listen to this nonsense; he took a few steps forward and then swung his fist violently towards the young mage's face

After all, this is merely the first task assigned by the system

... ...

The man flushed red and loudly defended himself, saying: "I was just hungry... I took a little something to eat, can this be considered stealing in the matter of a mage?" Following this, he launched into a series of incomprehensible phrases, mentioning things like "Levitation Spell," "Fireball Spell casting," and "Noble Mage Apprentice," which caused everyone to burst into laughter, filling the clearing in the woods with a joyful atmosphere

It is merely the construction of a garden, what is there to complain about? If it cannot be completed in a short time, then let it be built slowly. If one thousand people are too many, then let one hundred be employed. Is it possible that the legacy of my Stuart family, spanning generations, could be undermined by a mere garden?

Bruno was certainly aware of the difficulties he faced, yet he had no other choice

Grain needs to be transported, supplies need to be delivered, the gathered serfs need to be effectively managed, and all of this requires a substantial amount of manpower and financial resources

Indeed, the noble lord is a person of great wisdom! He is capable of such extraordinary ideas as slowly repairing... My lord... My lord! Please take a look!

The piece of white bread seemed to realize that it had been discovered, and suddenly it hovered motionless in the air

"Mage? You are nothing but a thief!" Bruno interrupted the man's words without any courtesy

My lord, although our family occasionally has a surplus, we cannot support such a project... This is the foundation of the Stuart family for generations...

Could it be that I am seeing things ... ? Bruno rubbed his eyes in disbelief

Shabi did not know when he scooped up a large bucket of cold lake water from the nearby lake and suddenly splashed it all over the young man

"Isn't that white bread what you stole?" Bruno said

Well, the original personality is probably like this...

Therefore, such a project would involve various aspects, which is indeed somewhat overwhelming for a mere count's territory

Shabi was originally hugging Bruno's thigh while flattering him, but unexpectedly, with a shake of his head and a glance from the corner of his eye, he saw a large piece of white bread suddenly emerge from a guard's backpack, floating somewhat unsteadily in mid-air

Therefore, when they heard that Bruno was going to make such an absurd decision, both the accompanying guards and servants all knelt down in unison, hoping that their lord the Count would change his mind. After all, if the Stuart family suffered a loss, they too would lose their source of livelihood; this was a relationship where honor and disgrace were shared.

Countless workers gathered in the Armis Mountains, which necessitated the construction of temporary shelters. The building of these shelters required a substantial amount of timber, which in turn demanded sufficient manpower for logging
