After leaving the Weiss Manor, the Purple Hyacinth Adventure Team boarded a rented carriage and headed out.
That city was their permanent residence and also their home.
Their businesses were all located there.
"Baron Roland is really generous," Adonis said, looking at the small box filled with gold coins in her hand, her face filled with delight.
As a small lover of wealth, she had no resistance to the glittering gold coins.
"He is indeed generous!"
The crowd nodded in agreement.
They had been doing missions for so many years, but this was the first time they had encountered an employer who was so generous with money.
The mission took an unexpected turn and the difficulty increased.
Not every employer would make up the difference.
Even if they did, it would be at most a 10% increase on the original reward.
Unlike Roland, who directly increased it by 40%.
The reward they received from this wave of missions was almost equivalent to what they had been busy with for half a year.
"That Baron Roland is willing to give such a generous reward, he must be even wealthier himself!"
"Handsome, powerful, and wealthy, he's truly a perfect man! If only I could..."
At this point, the female healer Karra didn't know what she was thinking, and a hint of blush appeared on her pretty face.
"This little vixen is in heat!"Ava teased while remembering the figure.
Truthfully, she admired him but as for liking, she liked a broad muscle man while Baron looked like someone who survived on eating soft rice.
"We've been sisters for so many years, we promised to spend our lives together! Now Kaaraa wants to become a Baroness, she's truly a little traitor."
"That's right!"
Seeing Karra's appearance, the other women couldn't help but tease her.
All kinds of provocative words kept coming out.
Karra blushed…
Listening to the laughter and playfulness of her sisters.
On the side, the half-elf girl Freya couldn't help but think of the scene when Roland saved her before. That sense of security in his embrace made her feel intoxicated. The unintentional intimate touch still made her blush and her heart race when she recalled it.
"I'm not falling for that guy, am I?"
Feeling her own unusual emotions, Freya's mind was in chaos as she absentmindedly looked in the direction of Apus Village.
Whatever it was, she decided to bury it as it didn't look like she was going to meet the Baron again, and even if they met, who knew how much the Baron would have changed?
.....
During this time, Roland had kept some distance from Janet until he dealt with Flaming Saber Tooth Tiger materials. Generally, he should have discussed this with his wife, but with a child in her belly, he felt it wasn't suitable for her to see these things.
Though Roland had dealt with Flaming Saber Tooth Tiger, he didn't relax and maintained vigilance as he was worried about more.
Soon, through his searches, he found a small horde, but unlike Flaming Saber Tooth Tiger, they were weak so he was uncertain about the future. However, he didn't take risks as who knows how powerful they became once grown up.
So, Roland went out again to clear the hordes.
Two days after…
"Roland, you're back! Did you get injured during the expedition against the monsters?" Janet's face was filled with concern.
She had been extremely worried when her husband went out to fight the monsters. He had just come from hunting a huge beast a few days ago, and now he was out again, this time without any adventure team or mercenaries to help.
If it weren't for Roland insisting on going, she would never have agreed to let him go on this adventure alone.
"Of course not!" Roland pretended to be unscathed and replied.
He didn't want Janet to worry. It was not good for either Janet or the baby in her belly. To prevent his wife from noticing anything amiss, Roland didn't dwell on this topic.
He quickly changed the subject.
He half-truthfully recounted his experience in the expedition against the monsters.
Janet, who had never traveled far, was also very interested in such adventure stories.
She lay on Roland's chest, listening quietly.
The two of them cuddled together.
A day quickly passed…
After defeating the Flaming Saber Tooth Tiger, Roland's life returned to its usual rhythm.
He spent his days playing with his children and accompanying his wife. With four children piling up and still small, and Janet's pregnancy due, the responsibility fell on Roland.
Except for Priya and a few others, he didn't let other maids take care of them. Being a transmigrator, he had already seen ample movies where maids give crooked ideas to the kids.
When he had nothing to do, he would go hunting in the forest around his territory.
Life was very comfortable.
As for the development of the territory, Roland had already laid the foundation.
With time, the Apus Brewery became more and more well-known, and the volume of shipments increased.
The small clothing and craftsmen also started gaining popularity. Roland sighed heavily seeing this. If they had access to sea routes, their craft might become more exquisite and a piece of art using sea ornaments as it was easier to find sea materials than precious gems…
Still, trade prospered. It attracted a large number of visitors. The local villagers gradually became prosperous. The lives of villagers became better and even could share a piece of pie.
Thanks to this, the number of free settlers coming to Apus Village increased.
The population of Apus Village grew from over seven thousand to thirteen thousand. The laborer having ample jobs found it easier to afford good houses.
A part of the cropland was changed to grow grapes and others. Farms of exquisite vegetables were also focused on.
Slowly, the canals digging was also on the verge of finishing.
And it continued to maintain a high growth rate.
It was expected that by the middle of next year, Apus Village would become Apus Town.
Of course, Roland had a way to expedite this process.
The knowledge brought from his previous life, if utilized, could further develop pillar industries for Apus Village.
But it really wasn't necessary. In this high-magic world, interests needed to be maintained with corresponding strength.
Without strength, creating too many good things would not only prevent one from enjoying the benefits, but also bring trouble. Naturally, he wouldn't do such a foolish thing.
Now, the most important thing for him was to take care of his wife's health and ensure a smooth birth for the child.
And as he got stronger gradually, he would soon use his knowledge and power to uplift his family status and his people.
.....
Days passed…
Janet was getting closer to her due date.
Just as the Roland family was preparing to welcome the birth of a new life.Three noble lords, accompanied by more than ten guards, suddenly visited Apus Village.
