Western Fantasy Lord: Starting with Daily Intelligence

Connors looked Vanessa up and down, his gaze involuntarily drawn to certain indescribable areas, and his breathing became heavier.

She's a real beauty...

Suddenly feeling as if he was eagerly anticipating something, he coughed and quickly adjusted the angle of his shirt hem.

He's already eighteen, and naturally full of energy, he can't resist such sensual stimulation. Coupled with some lingering habits from his previous life, the influence is even more profound.

Suppressing his inner turmoil, Connors breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Vanessa: "Would you be willing...?"

"I do." Vanessa bit her lip lightly, her eyes sparkling with seductive allure as she looked at Connors.

Looking at her like this, Connors suddenly remembered the inconsistency in the information on her file and became secretly on guard.

"I haven't told you what I want you to do yet."

Vanessa straightened her posture and knelt on the ground. As she moved, her white linen dress swayed back and forth, making Connors feel a surge of heat in his lower abdomen.

She said with an ambiguous expression:

"Whatever you want me to do, sir, I'll do."

Connors said sternly, "Stop with your act, or you'll be stuck here forever."

Suppressing his agitation once more, he set out his terms:

"I saw in the information that you are a pharmacist. I plan to put you in charge of agricultural affairs in Lily Town and appoint you as the agricultural officer. If you are willing to work hard, I will give you your freedom in five years."

Vanessa's eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing this.

This was very different from what she had expected. She had planned to seduce the man with her alluring figure, even if it meant giving him her first time to gain his trust, and then find an opportunity to remove the slave collar and escape from here.

But to everyone's surprise, this nobleman proposed a deal.

Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes sparkled, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Deal, but I have a request. Of course, the decision is yours."

"I hope you will give me a private room, free time, and treat me like a free man, not a slave."

Connors smiled easily: "Even if you hadn't said anything, I was planning to do it anyway."

Vanessa was completely taken aback this time and couldn't help but look Connors up and down.

"Weirdo," she thought to herself.

The conditions she just proposed were all to test Connors.

She was a slave to begin with, so it was only natural for Connors to order her around; there was no need for him to do anything unnecessary.

His purpose in doing so can only be one thing: to require her to do things sincerely.

The conditions mentioned earlier cannot be deceived by lies; they are tangible things that can be seen in the short term and can be quickly verified.

If Connors agrees but doesn't intend to do it, it would reveal a lot about his character; his words are likely a lie, and it wouldn't interfere with my original plan.

If he could really do that, what would it matter if he became a slave here? Working under a lord was far better than his previous life in the village.

If they spend enough time together, she could even try to win the heart of a nobleman by virtue of her superior qualities, thus achieving a leap in social class.

perfect!

Vanessa thought she was absolutely amazing—beautiful and intelligent, that's her for sure.

Connors nodded slightly: "Let's go, I'll take you out."

He then led the two men to his study, had a servant serve them tea, and gave them instructions:

"Megan, prepare two rooms for these two to stay in. Also, prepare some clothes for them."

Megan Quinn, a woman in her early thirties, was one of the maids brought by her predecessor.

Currently serving as the head maid of Lily Castle, she mostly assists Sachers in maintaining the castle's operation. When Sachers is away, she temporarily takes full charge of the castle's affairs.

"Yes, Lord Connors." Megan gracefully withdrew.

Vanessa picked up her teacup, took a sip, and clicked her tongue, saying, "Noblemen live a good life. This is the first time I've ever had tea made with red star leaves."

Red Star Leaf, in the Steel Dragon Kingdom, costs about 1 silver coin per pound, making it a luxury item for ordinary people.

Connors glanced at her: "If you behave well, you can drink every day."

Osis overheard their conversation and curiously picked up his teacup to smell it.

Red Star Leaf is a specialty of the Steel Dragon Kingdom, so he had never heard of it.

Seeing Vanessa's blissful expression, he took a small sip with some skepticism, then his eyes widened in surprise.

Then......

"Glug glug glug glug..." Osis drank like a cow.

Vanessa's lips twitched, and she shook her head as she put down her teacup.

It's such a waste to give you such good tea.

Having lost interest in tea, she looked at Connors and smiled gently:

"My dear master, you didn't release me just to enjoy tea, did you? I wonder what I should do?"

She's pretty sure now that this "weirdo" really does want them to do something practical, and what he said before is probably true.

As for the basis of judgment, it should be attitude.

This nobleman did not have the condescending arrogance of other nobles; he was very approachable, spoke with respect, and made people feel comfortable.

This kind of temperament and eloquence cannot be faked.

Even now, she has never heard of any nobleman allowing a lowly slave to sit at the same table with him and drink expensive tea.

This is simply unheard of.

After a moment's thought, Connors said, "The territory of Lily Town is approximately 1500 acres (about 9000 mu)."

"The vineyard covers 50 acres."

"Lily Estate covers 20 acres."

"The rye farm covers 200 acres."

"The wheat farm covers 350 acres."

"The ranch covers 180 acres."

"Among them, grapes, rye, and wheat all have the assistance of silkworm spirits."

"You are a pharmacist with extensive knowledge of pharmacology and botany. I would like to temporarily entrust these matters to you. This also includes subsequent developments and the production and application of the Fairy Silkworms, all of which will be your responsibility."

Vanessa was shocked as she heard the rest, especially when she heard the words "elf silkworm." Her breathing quickened: "You...aren't you afraid I have malicious intentions?"

Connors looked at her strangely: "Aren't you afraid?"

He picked up the slave bracelet with his finger and twirled it a few times: "Have you forgotten you're still wearing a slave collar around your neck?"

The slave bracelets controlled the life and death of slaves and imposed many restrictions on them.

For example:

Crushing the ruby ​​on the bracelet will cause the corresponding slave collar to explode, resulting in the slave's death.

If a slave leaves the vicinity of the bracelet, the corresponding collar will also explode, and the slave will die.

If the master knows how to use magic, he can infuse magic into the gem, and the corresponding slave collar will instantly release an electric current, paralyzing the slave's entire body.

This is just the standard model; there are also some custom-made collars and bracelets with special functions.

Vanessa's charming face froze, and she gave a sullen smile: "Your generous and benevolent master certainly wouldn't have the heart to watch my neck explode, would he?"

As she spoke, she bit her lip and put on a pitiful look.

Looking at her on the verge of tears, Osis thought to himself, "So weak, it seems she's really not suited for blacksmithing. Blacksmithing is a physically demanding job; one has to be able to endure hardship."

Connors's eyes were playful: "Who knows? Maybe I'll accidentally crush it."

As he spoke, he gripped the corresponding Vanessa slave bracelet and made a forceful grabbing motion.

Vanessa's face turned pale instantly, her breath caught in her throat, her eyes darted back and forth between Connors's hand, and she forced a smile.

"You...you must be joking with me."

Connors snorted and loosened his grip on the bracelet.

If I don't give you a good talking-to, you'll always be up to no good.
