Chapter 173: Your Life Is Even More Exciting Than A Story

“Young Master Watson, is it convenient for you to tell me how Blackmoon Castle became like this?”
Christine swallowed her saliva and suppressed her fear as she asked that question. At that moment, one of the temples had transformed into a hundred-meter-tall giant that walked past her head with its thick legs. Its huge rock-made feet touched the ground and left a huge pit. Her body trembled as the temple moved.
A few servants trailed behind the giant, and they carried tables, chairs, benches, and other furniture as they chased after it. As they ran, they shouted, “That rock golem is serial number 002. According to the plan, we should make it stop 1,000 meters south of Blackmoon Castle; be careful when you control it. Don’t let it go too far.”
Because Blackmoon Castle had become a city in the sky and flew into the sky, the original location of Blackmoon Castle was vacant. Watson was going to build a new manor and distribute it to the Blackmoon Iron Knights.
Blackmoon Castle’s original location was vacant because it had become a city in the sky—it had flown into the sky. Watson intended to construct new houses and distribute them to the Blackmoon Knights.
The manors were arranged according to serial numbers, from 001 to 002, and so on. According to the plan, Blackmoon Castle had set up 100 serial numbers. Watson’s goal was to build 100 manors in the town. Even though there were only 65 Blackmoon Iron Knights, they would recruit more in the future, so he wanted to prepare for that.
The group of manor owners felt the giants pass over their heads, and their hair stood on end. Someone followed up with Christine’s words and asked, “Young Master Watson, please give us an explanation.”
“What explanation do you want?”
Watson opened his arms and introduced the surroundings enthusiastically. “As you can see, Blackmoon Town has been transformed into this current appearance after all my hard work. All the houses are mobile! They are made of super-large rock golems; they are not only extremely sturdy, but they can also change into any shape according to the owner’s wishes. We’ll add some furniture to it, and it’ll become a good house. Don’t you think so?
“This is the first time we have mobile houses in the kingdom. Think about it; with a house like this, you can go wherever you want. Merchants can enjoy the warmth of their home while they’re on the road too. Don’t you think it’s great? We can also use these houses in the winter; the houses at the border are not sturdy enough, and that’s why we suffer heavy losses during the season. These mobile homes will help you escape when there is danger, and they can also help defend you against your enemies. It can kill any magical beasts below platinum-tier with just one punch.”
Watson spoke with assurance as he pointed at a few huge rock golems that went past them. “I name these houses made of rock golems as mobile fortresses. They are priced at 1,000 gold coins each. I am selling items made of platinum-tier summoned creatures for only 1,000 gold coins, aren’t I conscientious?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The manor owners nodded subconsciously, but they cursed inwardly. Why was there a need to be conscientious? Why would anyone spend 1,000 gold coins to live in the bodies of those monsters? Was that not only to suffer? What if those giant rock golems turned over and crushed them to death?
However, when they thought of what Watson had described, they were tempted, indeed.
At least the bandits and magical beasts would not dare to attack them if they traveled in the rock golem. Who would not run away when they saw a giant rock golem that was close to a hundred meters tall?
Furthermore, they could load all the goods and things they needed for their journey onto the rock golem. They would even save money on extra guards and workers. That way, they might even earn 1,000 gold coins.
As he sold his points, Watson paid attention to the manor owners’ facial expressions.
He wanted them there for one simple reason—he wanted to start a business. He had exhausted Blackmoon Castle’s resources after the battle with the astrologer. He had already set up a points system for the Blackmoon Knights to help collect the resources. However, it was not enough.
Since the astrologer had gone to visit the border count a week ago, he had yet to return. Watson did not know if the astrologer had encountered any situation during his journey, but he knew that he could not count on the old man. He could only rely on those manor owners who had signed a contract with him. They were Blackmoon Castle’s loyal allies. How could they not help when Blackmoon Castle was in danger?
Watson wanted to sell two main products. The first was Emperor Cluck’s Phoenix eggs—they had accumulated about 650 Phoenix eggs. Watson decided to wait until they had more eggs before he would sell them. The second product was the rock golem houses.
The giant rock golem that he summoned would not consume any magical power as long as it fell into a deep sleep. Even if it had to face an enemy, the golem would be able to maintain its vitality if he injected some energy into it in advance. The people who bought the mobile homes would have to go to him regularly to maintain them. If he did not have enough magic to do it, then he would leave it to his master.
Watson smiled as he rubbed his chin; he had a plan. He could tell that the manor owners in front of him were very eager for the giant rock golem house. After all, one could walk unhindered at the border with that. Therefore, he decided to throw them a bone.
“Actually, these mobile houses can also be rented. The price for a month is relatively low—only ten gold coins. This is a special price for my allies, like you.”
They could rent one?
The manor owners’ eyes lit up when they heard that.
“I want to rent one, Young Master Watson. I’ll rent for a year.” Morgan was the first to speak. The rental for a year was only one hundred gold coins; he would save more than that for transportation and guard fees. He had been too slow to speak the last time, and Christine had robbed him of those benefits. He had already learned his lesson. If there were benefits, he would be the first to speak up.
“Young Master Watson, I want one too.”
“My family runs a lot of businesses. Can I rent two rock golems?”
After Morgan had spoken, the other manor owners were unwilling to be outdone, so they began to fight over it.
“There’s no need to fight; there are enough rock golems to go around. I will allocate them to you after we have signed the contract.” Watson waved his hand. “Other than the giant rock golems, I also need you to help me sell some Phoenix eggs. It’s also worth 1,000 gold coins each! You can’t rent it, but you can pay in installments. You only need 120 gold coins as down payment, and then 120 gold coins per month for the rest of the year.”
He had such a good deal for them?
The manor owners knew what the Phoenix Egg meant. It was a treasure that worthed more than 1000 gold coins. However, they needed 120 gold coins to get it, and they still had to continue to pay for it monthly. However, they were tempted, even though more than 100 gold coins were not a drop in the ocean for them.
After the rock golem rental idea, Watson proposed the installment system, which made the manor owners even more excited. All of them expressed their interest in buying it. Watson smiled and clapped his hands; three people appeared from behind him.
“My name is Zeke.”
“My Name is Zenoah.”
The first two men were Watson’s third brother and fourth brother. They looked proud as they said, “We’re in charge of Blackmoon Castle’s business trades. If there’s anything you need, just let us know! I’m sure that many of you know us by now. So, let me introduce you to the person behind us. He’s our fifth brother, Peter. He had been in poor health, and he was bedridden; he couldn’t even walk upright. However, thanks to the Phoenix egg, he can now walk, run and fly!”
“Hello, everyone. My name is Peter.”
Peter blushed when his two older brothers referred to him as the Phoenix Egg’s wonderful proof of effect. He introduced himself in a low voice.
The manor owners clicked their tongues in amazement when they saw Peter’s rosy complexion; he did not look like a patient at all. They became more expectant of the Phoenix egg.
After Watson introduced his older brothers to the manor owners, he retreated to the side. He believed that with the modern ideas he had proposed, his two older brothers, who were proficient in business trades, would do better than him. He felt happy. Suddenly, something rustled from his side and interrupted his thoughts.
He turned his head around and saw his sixth sister, Margaret. She would not usually leave her room, but she had gone to him. She was in her nightgown, and she also had a quill pen in her hand as she wrote something in her manuscript. She looked at him strangely.
“Sister Margaret, what are you doing?” Watson was not familiar with that sister, but he tried to be reasonable.
“You’ll know when you see it. I’m writing a novel.”
“Writing a book in the castle would have been fine. Why did you come to me?”
Was it because his sister could not go up to the castle after it had evolved into a city in the sky?
Watson thought to himself, ‘But I gave her a Phoenix Egg. She should have mastered the ability to fly.’
He could not figure it out. Suddenly, Margaret put down the quill pen and rolled her eyes. “Do you think I want to be here? It’s all your fault! I had a peaceful life, just writing my stories at home. It’s all because of that dragon’s roar! Do you know what it means to see a real dragon when you’re sitting at home?”
When Margaret spoke, she widened her eyes in anger. “It’s not just the dragons. You’ve even taken our home to the sky. In addition, we have giants that are 100 meters tall. It makes me feel like I’m living in another world! That is really, really—”
Watson interrupted her when he realized that she was too excited to speak. “I’m sorry, Sister. It’s all my fault. I’ve made you scared.”
His actions must have shocked his sister, who spent all her time at home. However, Margaret’s next sentence made him freeze on the spot. “That is great!”
“Great?”
“Of course, isn’t that great?”
Margaret held a pen and paper in her hands, and her eyes twinkled like stars. “Everything that you’ve experienced feels even more wonderful than the content in my book. I never thought that reality is even more wonderful than fantasy! If I write those into a book, it would definitely sell well.”
Margaret retracted her excitement as she stretched out a finger and poked his chest gently. “As the main culprit who brought me out of the room, you must be the one to make my book popular. Now, I have the material for the novel, but the only drawback is your name! Watson is just too ordinary. I’ve thought of two new names—Mordecai Caesar and Arthur. Which of these two names do you prefer? Hey, I’m talking to you!”
Watson looked at the sky speechlessly. He did not expect his sister to come out because of that. She was also a chatterbox. He had a feeling that the future would be very troublesome for him.
