Chapter 9 : Inspecting The Castle

Alexander looked at their serious faces and chuckled. He was moved by how they readily swore an oath even putting their lives on the line. In the previous Alexander's memories, he knew that swearing of oath was no easy matter, because if one swore an oath and proceed to break that oath the consequences would be tragic. Therefore he was moved by how much, they would readily swore an oath without much scruples.

" There is no need for guys to swear an oath. Just promise me that you won't tell anyone about this". Alexander chuckled and said.

" Young Master you can trust us, we won't tell a soul about this. We will take this secret to our graves". Watson hurriedly said .

Julia and the others nodded their heads to express their agreement.

Alexander heart warmed, with people he could trust he could rest assured.

Alexander then immediately said," why don't we go outside and experiment with the black soil and see if the treasures the old man gave me really works".

Watson immediately shook his head and said,

" Young Master, it's already late today. I think we should go and take a look tomorrow. Young Master, you go and rest early".

Alexander looked at the sky, and although he was a little hurried, he nodded, " Alright let's go and take a look tomorrow. But Grandpa Watson, I saw that there are many supplies in the square outside. Why haven't they been moved inside the castle".

Watson said with a troubled expression,

" Young Master, it's not that we don't want to move them inside the castle, but the available rooms right now is too small to house so many resources. Although the castle is big, it has not been used for many years, so some of the rooms are in poor conditions. Therefore, we are organizing the slaves to build wooden sheds so that we can pit those things in".

Alexander nodded and looked at the sky outside. " What about the slaves? Do those slaves have a place to stay, it's already approaching the rainy season. We have to let those slaves have a place to stay. Our Frost family only has few people left. We have to rely on them in the future".

The uneasy expression on Watson on face changed, When Alexander asked about the slaves he was feeling uneasy. In the eyes of the nobles im the world, slaves were just ants to them.

However Watson, knew that there only so many people left in the Frost family. In addition, it was almost the rainy season.If he made those slaves sleep outside, they would really fall sick. At that time they would face the predicament of having no one to use.

However, Watson did not expect Alexander to think of this. This made him realized that his Young Master has really grown up, so he quickly said," Young Master, don't worry everything has been arranged".

Alexander nodded and said," With Grandpa Watson around, I'm relieved. Alright I'll go back and rest, you guys should also go back rest. We will talk tomorrow."

With that Alexander walked back into his room.

Watson watched as Alexander left the dinning room. His eyes glistened with tears, he was really emotional, finally his Young Master has finally grown up.

Julia and Rose looked at each other and smiled. Although Gilbert and Kane face were still expressionless, their eyes showed a trace of happiness.

" Alright, everyone should go and take some rest, It's already late." Watson happily instructed.

After returning to his room, Alexander could not fall asleep. Perhaps because he had slept too much during the day, he could not fall asleep no matter what.

After lying on the bed for more than an hour, Alexander still did not fall asleep. After some thought he decided to converse with the system.

" System are you there?." Alexander probed.

" Yes host" the system in it cold and robotic tone.

Alexander rolled his eyes and said," System can't your tone be more friendly when you speak".

" Yes host". The system replied but this it's replied in a 'delicate voice', but this delicate voice was like the howling of ghost and banshees.

Alexander was immediately creeped out, he hurriedly stood up from the and looked left and right, " System what was that, is the castle being haunted".

" Host didn't you tell me to speak in a friendly voice ". The system immediately reversed it's tone to the cold and aloof voice.

Alexander was stunned, " System this voice belongs to you?".

" Humph " the system snorted.

" Do the host want me to speak more friendly to him now ".

Alexander immediately broke out in cold sweat." Actually system your original voice is more pleasing to hear."

Alexander didn't want to hear that creepy voice again, he almost shit his pants when the system spoke in its ' delicate voice'.He didn't want to have nightmares in his sleep.

Alexander lied back on the bed and said, " System can the celestial soil and spring of life revive the land of death?".

The system snorted in an angry tone," Host, the products from the system are of high quality, so don't question the authenticity of the system products."

Alexander nodded, " Can I buy any farm seeds from the system shop?".

" Absolutely host, the more you level up the system the more seeds and functions are unlocked". The system replied.

Alexander nodded his head and continued to converse with the system for more than hour .

After he knew that he had transmigrated, Alexander was not afraid at all. Instead he was secretly delighted. On Earth, Alexander was a shut in otaku. He lived an ordinary life with a small salary and was under a lot of pressure.

But it was different here. He was a Noble . Although his family was ostracized, he had his own fief. Although it was a land of death, he still had loyal subordinates and could decide their lives and death with a word. He had a castle and slaves. Most importantly he had a system.

Thinking of this, Alexander fell asleep. In his dream he turned the Great Desolate Region into a large farm . He built a beautiful castle and was the owner. His life was beautiful.

The next day, Alexander woke up early in the morning. Probably he was the first person to wake in the entire castle. Looking outside the window,it was already starting to brighten up. Alexander was embarrassed to wake them up.

However, it was boring to stay in the bedroom, so Alexander slowly walked out. He wanted to take a good look at the castle that belonged to him.

He walked out of the castle which was in the inner area . After passing by a small square, he arrived at the outer area. The structure was very simple. The outer area ground was paved with limestone slabs and had row of simple and crude stone buildings. Behind the stone buildings were the walls. The walls were very tall about ten metres. When he walked near the wall he realized the they were very thick, about five metres thick. The gate looked to be made of refined iron. It was more than four five meters tall and was locked with a huge iron bar. There was a device looked to be used to pull and insert the iron bar.

Alexander nodded. He did not expect the level of technology in this world to be so developed. He looked around and did not find anything else. Other than a large pile of supplies bought by Watson in the middle of the square, there was nothing else.

He turned to the stone stairs beside the gate and unhurriedly walked up the wall. These walls was made of huge green stones and looked very sturdy. There were four arrow towers on the four corners of the castle that could protect the castle from all sides.

He turned looked at the inner castle walls, the inner castle walls was slightly higher than the outer walls. There were also four arrow towers built on it. It's seems like the defensive ability of this castle was really comprehensive.

He turned looked outside the walls. Alexander finally saw the outside of the castle. He realized the castle was built in the middle of a valley, this valley was very big. Alexander could see a pond about ten kilometers from the castle. The water was very clear. He could also large patches of green randomly distributed across the entire valley.

There were a small a path that lead directly to the entrance of the valley. There were many weeds on growing on it. It seemed it had not been used for a long time.

Alexander knew that this castle had been abandoned for countless years. They had only walked through the path once. He believed that for the past month no one had gone outside the castle, so the path looked like that.

Other this path, the outside of the valley land filled with black soil. There was not a blade grass growing on making the land look

desolate and lifeless.

At this moment the sun had already risen.

The golden sunlight fell on Alexander's figure.

He stood on the wall with his hands behind his back, looking at the rising sun at the distance. He could not help but feel heroic and pumped up. He laughed uproariously and said

" Alright this castle and everything the sun touches in this Great Desolate Region belongs to me. Although this place is a land of death, like the rising sun it won't belong, I will let it's name spread across the entire Azure Wind World".

Alexander did not realized Watson and the others had already woke up. They were standing under the wall and quietly looking at Alexander's figure who was standing on the castle wall like a god with worship in their eyes. Tears of excitement was flowing down their faces.
