Chapter 193: White House Manor

Joan carefully read the precautions for hunting ground worms twice, and later copied the entire page into his notebook.
He glanced at the clock, and half an hour had passed. He didn't want to waste those five gold coins, and then kept on reading the other insect-shaped monsters recorded in the book.
...
Joan sat in the reading room for four hours until he finished reading "The Book of Monsters of Vares" (Volume 9) from beginning to end, and the notes were full. Then he returned the book and left the book with satisfaction. Pavilion.
It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and Joan went to the playground as usual to exercise.
While jogging, think about how to deal with the ground worms that are messing up in Castis Manor.
The book proposes to deal with such huge monsters with the magic control system. Joan just happened to learn two spells for controlling the mind, "Colorful Jet" and "Sleep", and I want to come in handy tomorrow.
After running ten laps in one breath, Joan wiped his sweat and collected a bag of clean sand on the playground.
Then he went back to the flower garden belt opposite the playground and asked the gardener who was trimming the bushes if he could collect the withered rose petals.
"Sir, do you want these petals as casting materials?"
After all, this is the Austrian branch, and the gardener's request to Joan is already strange.
After getting a positive answer, he helped Joan collect a lot of fallen rose petals and gave him a cloth pocket to store the petals.
Joan thanked the gardener and then left the flower garden with a cloth bag. When he passed the grocery store, he went in and bought a bundle of smoked mosquitoes, a large piece of celosia-also known as "realgar", a dozen empty milk bottles, and There are three colors of red, yellow and blue... I can't eat dinner, so I hurriedly carried this big bag of debris back to the dorm.
Joan cleaned the empty bottles first. There are still a lot of powders for insecticides. Joan is skilled in blending medicines, which are packed in glass milk bottles, dissolved in water, and covered with a wooden stopper.
The size of the earthworm is ten thousand times larger than that of the cockroach. In order to deal with this huge and ferocious monster, Joan's insecticide was prepared at this time.
The concentration of the newly equipped medicament is 100 times higher than that of common pests, and it is not necessarily as strong as a ground worm.
Joan did not pin his hopes for winning bounties on pesticides, he trusted his spells more.
After distributing the pesticides, Joan then took out the fine sand collected on the playground, grabbed a large amount and placed it in an iron basin, dyed the sand red with the newly purchased fuel, used "magic tricks" to dry it, and poured it into A small pocket.
Next, he poured a large pile of fine sand into the basin, dyed it yellow and dried it.
Finally, he dyed the remaining fine sand blue.
Repeat this three times to complete the dyeing process, and Joan gets fine sand in three colors of red, yellow, and blue.
Joan mixes the three kinds of fine sand in equal parts to make the colored fine sand, which is the casting material needed to cast the 1st Arcane "Colorful Jet".
Joan packed the prepared colored fine sand into a storage bag, and the remaining unstained sand was mixed with the dried rose petals and placed in another pocket as a material for releasing "sleep".
In fact, most spells are not necessarily cast using only one material.
For example, "sleep", in addition to the mixture of fine sand and rose petals prepared by Joan, you can also use a live cricket as a casting material, which can also play a hypnotic effect.
However, Joan feels that collecting sand and rose petals is far more convenient than catching crickets, and he must use live crickets to successfully cast spells. Such casting materials are not only troublesome but also difficult to store for a long time.
Everything is ready and the sky is completely dark.
Joan cut two slices of bread and sandwiched cheese to make a simple sandwich for dinner, filling his stomach.
Before going to bed, Joan used to specialize in spells. The focus is of course "Sleep" and "Colorful Jet", the two key spells used to deal with the earthworm tomorrow.
Concentrating on studying the two-hour spell book, Joanne tries to cast these two 1-ring spells.
He exhausted all the spell slots and "Mythical Power" in one breath, releasing 5 "Colorful Jets" and 4 "Sleep Techniques" respectively.
The initial exercise was still a bit jerky. After one or two exercises, it gradually became proficient. Finally, the casting time of the two spells was controlled within 3 seconds, and Joan ended the exercise with satisfaction.
The night outside the window was deep, and Joan thought that he would get out of the city early tomorrow and ride to the manor of the Castis's house. He washed his bed one hour earlier than usual, and fell asleep with the longing for the high bounty.
...
Early in the morning on Sunday, Joan took a public carriage to the west gate of Leiden City.
At the post near the city gate, he rented a horse using his student ID as a mortgage.
Joan rode out of the west gate and rode along the north bank of the Eifen River for more than an hour before arriving at the "White House Estate" where the Castis family lives.
Joan's journey along the way can be described as an eye-opener, and I really appreciate how magnificent the big plantation in Alfheim is!
The Castis Estate built on the banks of the Efen River covers an area of ​​over 20,000 mu and has more than 300 slaves. It is a typical large plantation in the southern New World.
The castle-like mansion of the host family is located in the center of the manor, painted white, and it looks beautiful and generous. Therefore, this place is also called "White House Manor" by the people of Port Leiden.
The lawn surrounding the castle extends to the small pier by the river.
Next to the castle are two smaller houses, one for the kitchen and one for the office.
Along the two sides of the mansion, there are many functional buildings indispensable in the manor.
These outbuildings include a laundry room, a washing room, a weaving room, a sewing room, a fumigation room, a small workshop for making soap and candles, a workshop for tanning leather and leather boots, a carpenter's shop, a blacksmith's shop, a gardener's house , As well as chapels, clinics, warehouses and ice cellars.
In the end, of course, there are rows of cabins where tenant farmers and slaves live.
There are vegetable gardens and fruit forests in the manor. Vegetables and fruits are produced and sold on their own.
On the periphery of the fruit and vegetable gardens are arable land and pastures that are too big to see. They are planted with large pieces of grain, tobacco, and indigo, and they raise cattle and sheep and horses in groups.
A typical southern plantation, like a small independent kingdom, a small self-sufficient society, people's clothing, food, housing and transportation can basically be solved in the manor.
Joan rode along the ridge for a long time before he found the avenue leading to the interior of the manor.
He walked straight along the broad paved avenue, and when he approached the gate of the castle, he was stopped by a guard wearing a servant's uniform, and he kindly asked him where to call and how expensive he was.
Joan turned over and dismounted, saying the words he had prepared:
"I saw the reward notice signed by your host at the "Red Tomato Pub", saying that I was recruiting a pest control expert. I came to the house today to visit and it was for this reason."
