How to get Healed at Demon Farm Chapter 245

Locus, who was trying to stop me from going to the strawberry field, suddenly changed the topic of conversation.

“By the way, Lord, have you thought about what I said last time?”

“What?”

When I asked back as if I was hearing for the first time, he added an explanation with a slight frown.

“Don't feign ignorance, my Lord. It's about the proposal to build a permanent residence – your mansion in the village.”

“Ah…”

“You didn't give it a thought, right?”

“No. It's not that I didn't think about it…… I was just wondering if it was necessary.”

Locus's face was filled with irritation when he heard my answer. I flinched and took a step back at the sight of him hitting his head in frustration.

“Ugh! Does this make sense that a Lord doesn't have a house in his own territory?”

“Well… There is no rule that I must have my own house. And there's farm building…….”

” What are you talking about, my Lord? The farm building is something that's not owned by the Lord, In addition, you don't stay as a lord there, but as a farm worker.”

“Well…”

Locus raised his voice as if he had enough of my excuses.

I couldn't refute anything to the frustrated Locus because there was nothing wrong with what he was saying.

“Locus, calm down a little bit.”

Lagos looked around and tried to stop Locus. But it didn't do much good. Rather, Locus pulled Lagos' arm strongly and pointed with his finger.

“Don't you feel sorry for him, my Lord?”

“Sorry for Lagos?”

“Yes. This guy handles almost everything that happens not only in Eldon Village but also in the Cardis Estate, but there's no proper office for him. He's still working at a table in his home.”

Locus pointed to the poor workplace conditions of Lagos. My face stiffened from the shock I received from his words.

Lagos, who was originally the chief of Eldon Village, now handles all the big and small affairs of the estate.

Had it not been for this Deerman, the Cardis estate would have been in a much more chaotic state than it was now.

Even though the amount of work he does has increased exponentially, the place where he was working has not changed much.

Of course, I gave him a generous salary, but I couldn't pay attention to the working environment.

Lagos waved his hand quickly when he saw my hardened face.

“It's not like that, my lord. I have no complaints about the current environment. Rather, I think I'm underserved for all the things the Lord has provided me.”

“What undeserved…… Even if you're fine, I'm not. Until when do I have to work at the small deer house? I too want to work in a proper office.”

“What's wrong with my house, Locus? You enjoyed the tea I made yesterday, didn't you?”

“Ugh! I'm tired of the tea you make for me. I want to drink the tea that pretty maids make for me.”

Lagos and Locus, who became close while working together, began to quarrel.

It was nice to see a nice relationship budding between the two, but suddenly my thoughts deepened due to various problems that were thrown at me.

While the blonde Demon and the Deerman were quarreling, a large Dragon descendent, Kroc came to me.

Kroc used sign language with both hands. It was a simple greeting, so I understood it quickly.

“Yes, it's been a while, Kroc. Are you done with your work?”

-Nod.

When I turned toward the strawberry field, other Beastpeople were also finishing their work after finishing the harvest.

Kroc looked at the two who were still fighting, and then asked again using his sign language.

“Oh… It's not a big deal. We were talking about the permanent residence and the working environment at the place where you two work now.”

“By the way, do you also think that a permanent residence is necessary?”

Kroc scratched his head with his big hand at my question.

Normally, he would have told me to do as I want, but this time he answered in sign language with firm intention.

-Of course, there should be a permanent residence.

“See, Kroc has the same opinion. We must have a Lord's permanent residence. There will be a lot of important guests coming from now on, where are you going to let them stay?”

“Ugh..”

“It's not like we're building a big castle, why are you hesitating when what we're building is barely a small mansion? And if the villagers hear that you're building your mansion, they'll be very delighted.”

“Lagos is right about that, my Lord. If you build a mansion, everyone in the village will be happy and will try to help you somehow.”

Hmm…

Originally, I had no intention of building a permanent residence. Even if I built a mansion, I thought I would stay mostly on the farm, and it would not be very practical.

I didn't want to spend the hard-earned money of my estate people recklessly because there are many places where I could spend that money.

However, as I listened to the three people, my thoughts changed little by little. In addition to the purpose of my stay, I thought it would be helpful in many other ways.

After a moment of thought, I nodded slowly.

“Okay. I'll seriously consider about building a permanent residence.”

The three people's faces brightened at my positive answer.

Rumors spread in the village within a few days about the construction of a permanent residence.

I certainly said I'd consider it, and I didn't know why the rumors turned out this way.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

The culprit must have been the blonde Demon who frequented the village bars.

And while I was hearing about the rumor that was circulating in the village, a guest came to the farm.

“Hello, Lord Cardis.”

“Hi, Bebeto.”

The middle-aged Demon with dark brown hair who brought the Griffin eggs from the Barbatos family visited the farm.

After a brief greeting, he looked around and asked.

“How are Grify and Finny doing?”

“Wait a sec. I'll bring them.”

“No, Lord Cardis… you don't have to bother…”

When I stood up to bring the baby griffins, Bebeto became restless as if feeling pressured for making me move.

“Haha! It's okay. I'm bringing them because I want to show off their healthy appearance, so don't worry.”

After reassuring Bebeto, I quickly brought Grify and Finny, who were playing on the second floor.

Biip!

The griffins, who had now grown big enough to be burdensome to hug, rushed to Bebeto.

They were glad to see the guest who came after a long time, and they kept hovering around while flapping their wings.

“Oh… They've grown beyond recognition.”

“Isn't it? These days, it's hard to follow them if they decide to run.”

“Haha! Sooner or later, we will be able to see these children flying freely in the sky.”

Bebeto looked at the griffins while getting a little emotional. He seemed very happy that the Barbatos family had regained their family symbol.

“I'll tell the family that the Griffins are doing well. Lord Barbatos and Godmother Diana will surely be happy.”

“I'd appreciate it if you could. But what brings you here today?”

“Oh! The reason why I came is nothing but because I heard that the lord is building a new mansion.”

When he brought up the subject of building a mansion, I asked back in amazement.

“Huh? How did you know that?”

“Aren't there some Engineers from the Barbatos family who are still living in Cardis estate? They heard the rumors and contacted the family in a hurry.”

As construction engineers continued to be needed in the rapidly growing Cardis estate, some of the engineers sent by the Barbatos family were staying here without returning.

Perhaps the engineers heard the rumor and contacted the Barbatos family.

“If Lord Cardis permits, the Barbatos family would like to help in building this mansion. We're already preparing the best engineers.”

“You don't have to…… I think the help I received last time was more than enough.”

“Not at all, Lord Cardis. You didn't just save the Lord's life, you saved the Barbatos family. In addition, building a mansion is a real demonstration of the power of the Barbatos family and our relationship with Lord Cardis. Please don't refuse.”

Bebeto bowed his head and asked for permission, and I couldn't refuse while looking at his sad appeal.

“Okay, raise your head, Bebeto.”

“Are you giving us permission, my Lord?”

“There's no such thing as permission. I'd appreciate it if the Barbatos family could help me.”

As soon as my permission was granted, Bebeto smiled brightly and began to take out something, and spread it out on the table in front of me.

Biip?

Biip! Biip!

I stared at the curious griffins on the table, and before they could take their sharp beak toward the thing Bebeto spread on the table, I quickly dragged the two into my arms.

What Bebeto spread on the table was a map.

I quickly realized that the map represented the Eldon village and the surrounding terrain.

“This is a map of Eldon Village, isn't it?”

“That's right, my Lord. Oh! Please don't misunderstand, this is not a map made with accurate measurements. We only temporarily marked the topography to find out the information needed for construction work. If you feel offended for making the map of the territory without permission, I will discard it right now and apologize.”

“No, it's fine…….”

Bebeto, who flinched for a while, took a breather and began to explain.

“Please look at the map, Lord Cardis. We've marked up places in advance for building a mansion. The place I recommend is…….”

Bebeto recommended three places while pointing to the marked places with his hand.

All the places he recommended had their pros and cons.

Among them, my favorite place was the one close to Eldon Village and not far from the farm.

“In terms of location, I think that's the best place. Let's decide on the location here. My Lord, do you have any thoughts for the mansion?”

I talked about things that I had thought about the mansion one by one.

“First of all, I hope it's not too fancy. There should be an office for me and the people who help me. I also need a space to greet our guests. There should be rooms for the guests to stay in. And… I guess that's pretty much it.”

Bebeto took notes diligently as if he wrote down every single word I said.

“Um……Office rooms and guest rooms…….”

“Playground! We need a playground.”

“A playground…… What?”

A cute voice suddenly interrupted the conversation

As I looked to the side, Speranza, who came down from the stairs, was smiling brightly.
