"Young Mater, the business is going very well in this town. We have recruited some locals with clean backgrounds from this world. They, under the leadership of knights, secure the buildings from any kind of danger." Biggs began
"As for the Hartmann Chamber of Commerce, the framework is already ready. The only thing left is to bring the goods from our world." He paused, waiting for Luis's response.
"I want to know what items you are selling in this world," Luis questioned with curiosity after Biggs finished speaking.
Biggs nodded and continued, "The major items are food and spices, clothing and fabrics, glassware and pottery, tools and utensils, furniture's, soaps, perfumes, wine, coffee, and tea, jewelry and accessories, mirrors, and glassware."
Luis nodded satisfied as he heard all the items that were being sold.
"These are all good items; you can manage it yourself." Luis said, "I won't focus on these matters from now on, but inform me when the pharmacist develops something interesting."
"Yes, Young Master."
Luis left the room after talking with Biggs for some more time. Biggs was handling the business well, and that was one less thing for him to worry about.

Luis wandered around the headquarters for a while, checking in on the knights.
Among the 41 who arrived later in this world. Everyone awakened their life seed. Now, he has 53 knights under him who can fight, not including those old guys who came to this world later.
However, Xiao Wei still hasn't awakened his life seed, as he was just a 2nd stage body training warrior when he joined.
Luis could see his bright future ahead, with an invincible army behind him conquering everywhere. If he walked on the road, he might have made much greater progress, but he sees a group as a whole. He believes in the quote.
"If you want to walk fast, walk alone. But if you want to walk far, walk together."
It was already evening as he spent his whole time in headquarters, so he returned to the castle.
Pipi was waiting for him, her eyes gleaming as she fluttered around. Luis smiled and quickly prepared the magic stones for her, watching as she absorbed the energy.
'I will try again tomorrow.' Luis thought, determined to convince his father about going to the battlefield.
----
The next morning, Luis went to confront his father. He would have a long conversation with his father today. Since he has already killed the orc general, the battlefield should be safe for sometime.
He entered the room after knocking on the door.
"I am definitely going to the battlefield; you cannot stop me." Luis shouted directly, looking into the eyes of Felipe Hartmann.
Felipe remained calm, looking at his son.
"You kid have been disturbing me every day. I have not been so annoyed even if I face those annoying orcs, Shaman." Felipe said as he flipped the report in his hand.
"I am coming here every day until you approve of me to go to the battlefield." Luis was relentless.
"Fine. If you want to go so badly, I'll allow it. I'll provide you with soldiers and resources." Felipe said with a soft sigh.
"I will go to..." Luis suddenly stopped and looked at Felipe in surprise.
"Wait, what? I can really go." Luis asked again with doubt.
"Yes, you can go; don't bother me now. Come to me in half a month, and I will prepare the soldiers and resources for you," Felipe said, waving his hand dismissively.
"Haha, father, you are really the best." Luis laughed and left the room.
"This kid..." Felipe shook his head and started reading the daily report. Since he has already promised his wife to take care of the barony, he has to fulfill it. This job is much harder than fighting on the battlefield.
-----
Luis returned to his room with a wide smile, his heart brimming with excitement after receiving his father's permission. The long-held dream of leading his own forces on the battlefield was finally within reach.
His mind buzzed with plans. He could already imagine his troops training rigorously, pushing themselves to their limits, all under his command. The thought of wielding power and skill on the battlefield filled him with a sense of purpose.
'Father will give more assistance too. I hope he gives me a little more Life Potions.
Thinking of all these, he traveled to Cultivation World. The knights cannot stay in the cultivation world for now; otherwise, it will create suspicion later.
He needs to travel to Ferterra Town and drop them and bring them back to this world again.
In the cultivation world, those old guys will take care of small things. As there is not much danger for now.
----
The next few days, Luis stayed in the library to gather all the information he could about Northern Wasteland, Orcs, Undead, and pioneer knights. He was going to be fully prepared; the battlefield is not a joke.
In the library, he began reading all the books. Although Liam and other old guys might have information about the wasteland, knowing himself is a lot better than not knowing anything and being clueless.
He already knows a lot of information as he lived the past 14 years in Northern Wasteland. This time he looked deeper into the forces of orcs and undead.
He began to skim through many stacks of books daily.
'A middle-aged world, where magic failed the people,' he didn't know if it was the influence of wars and many different factors. The technology of this world has not changed a bit since thousands of years.
The creatures like goblin and gnomes, who were good at technology, were destroyed by nobles in war thousands of years ago. There is no place for innovators.
Magic that can literally change the lives of people is hidden and not shared by those arrogant wizards. Nobles are high above others. The culture of slaves is still very apparent in this world.
'I hope I can change the world and not adapt to it.'
Many thoughts flashed in his mind as he read the books. He still has not forgotten the comfortable life of Earth.
