Wigster Town
The territory was divided into three parts, with the central position going to Lionheart Earl, and the other two parts being divided equally among the Royal Capital and other nobles, large and small. This was not only to maintain the balance of the Kingdom's stability, but also, more importantly, to ensure mutual support among those with shared interests.
Correspondingly, all the nobles and royalty, big and small, had to bear some responsibility. To defend against the Demons' attacks, they had to send some people to the border to defend it. The Lionheart Earl, who occupied the best position, could enjoy his protection for five years without sending troops to guard the border.
"Yan'er, the richest territory of Earl Tiger Earl will be entrusted to you from now on. I will leave a portion of the Lionheart Legion soldiers for you. If you need any resources, you can write back and I will prepare them for you."
Lionheart Earl patted Li Yan's shoulder heavily, looking at his still somewhat immature and unsteady son, a touch of emotion appearing on his face.
"You don't need to worry about the Royal Capital. Your uncle, as the King, isn't that petty. Your title has already been bestowed upon you. Although it's only a baronship, you can inherit my Earl. If you work hard, you might be able to become the Kingdom's Earl yourself and leave the inheritance to your younger brother."
Hearing his father's words, Li Yan opened his mouth to refuse. He still wanted to travel freely, but considering that his father no longer had anyone he could trust to guard this vast territory, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
After a grand banquet celebrating the nobility, Li Yan officially became the new master of the Tiger Earl's territory and the first person in charge of Wigster Town.
Looking at the large castle that belonged only to him, Li Yan couldn't help but think of transforming this town, his territory, into a magnificent machine age. The thousands of Mechanical Magic Puppets he had entrusted to his Godmother were now proving very useful.
Without hesitation, on the very first day, Li Yan led a group of carriages directly to his master Seria's castle. He planned to bring back most of the mechanical puppets for the future development of the town and various aspects of the castle.
Early in the morning, Serie was about to enjoy her leisurely day reading Magic Tome when she heard a series of banging noises and couldn't help but feel impatient. When she pushed open the door with a bit of annoyance, she saw a large number of Mechanical Magic Puppets moving house. Some of them were sitting on simple versions of Mana chariots, while others were sitting on horse-drawn carriages. The magnificent sight made Serie blink involuntarily.
"A Yan, you're back?"
Seeing the castle gates open, Li Yan stepped out from under the Mana chariot with a slightly embarrassed expression. "Grandmaster, you're awake! I was planning to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect these clumsy guys to make such a racket."
Serie gave Li Yan a disdainful look, then kicked Li Yan hard in the buttocks with her snow-white leg. The force was so great that Li Yan felt as if he had been bumped by a small dog.
"What, where are you planning to throw these broken machines to sell as scrap?" Serie puffed out her cheeks, looking at the group of Mechanical Magic Puppets.
"You're planning to throw it into my own territory, the town of Wigster? Grandmaster, would you like to go play there?"
Li Yan smiled and reached out to touch her Grandmaster's long golden hair. It was soft to the touch, without a trace of scalp oil, and very refreshing.
"No, I'm not interested. I've never heard of it."
Serie remained calm.
"Ugh, so sad. I really wanted to take my Grandmaster to see the famous fried chicken and fries hotspots in Wigster. I heard that Coke is free-flowing and there's delicious food everywhere."
Li Yan spoke with a regretful expression, while Serie, who was preparing to return to the castle, froze on the spot, swallowing hard in disbelief.
"Really? Can you really drink Coke without worry? And are there shops that specialize in making fried chicken?"
A flicker of emotion crossed Serie's usually calm face, and her tone softened.
"Of course it's true. In the future, we'll be offering various flavors of fried chicken, as well as all sorts of other delicious foods, such as pizza, spicy hot pot, and other tasty treats."
Li Yan racked his brains, recalling all the delicious foods from his previous life. He planned to develop a food street in Wigster City, and then devote himself to developing all kinds of modern and convenient products.
"If you beg me, I might consider going, it's just for a few days."
Serie looked at Li Yan with a serious expression, her delicate hand already tugging at the hem of Li Yan's clothes.
"Hmm, Grandmaster, please, please come with me to build Wigster City!"
"Okay, I promise!"
After retrieving his master, Celia, Li Yan led a large number of robotic puppets on their return journey. Two days later, two Lionheart Legion squads that had gone to Lionheart territory to collect supplies joined Li Yan. Xiao Wu and Xiao Xue stepped down from the carriage and, seeing Li Yan safe and sound, couldn't help but show joy on their faces. "Young Master, are you alright?"
"Young Master, I miss you so much."
Watching her personal maid being escorted over, Li Yan couldn't help but feel a warm sense of comfort. Without a doubt, this was a sign of special care from her father or mother.
