When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

“Phew! So comfortable!”

After settling everyone down, Li Shanren lay comfortably on the soft big bed.

The bumpy ride during this period made him feel more tired than continuously exploring the border area.

Next, he planned to spend a few days to get to know the city better, and then choose a satisfactory place to settle down temporarily.

Not long after he lay down, someone suddenly knocked on his door.

Who is it?

Li Shanren raised his eyebrows, stood up and went to open the door.

"Svana?"

The beautiful maid with wolf blood was standing outside the door, followed by two other maids who joined in the procession.

Love and Avril.

They should have left long ago, but I didn't expect them to follow me here.

In any case, this journey has come to an end. Even if Li Shanren thinks this place is not suitable for settling down, he will not leave for other places again in the short term.

"Is there anything wrong? Are you here to say goodbye?" Li Shanren's eyes fell on the two maids behind him and he smiled faintly.

"No...no." The petite Avril said anxiously, as if she was afraid that Li Shanren would misunderstand.

"Lord Lisern, they said they wanted to stay." Svana shook her golden wolf ears and said.

"Oh? Is that so?" Li Shanren looked at Luo Fu who was silent.

Facing his gaze, the maid from an aristocratic family involuntarily avoided his gaze, pursed her lips, and nodded, "Yeah."

"If this is your own wish, I have no objection. And I have said it before, whether to leave or stay is up to you two to decide, and I will not interfere with your decision." Li Shanren said with a faint smile.

To be honest, after spending some time on the road together, he would feel a little uncomfortable if these two maids really left.

And those children who get along better with them will probably cry loudly.

Luo Fu's eyes flickered slightly, and she said softly:

"In the beginning, we did think about leaving when we had the chance. But now we don't want to leave anymore. The slave marks on us cannot be removed. No matter where we go, we may be captured and sold. We can only gain a short period of freedom... This time in the caravan is the most relaxing time since we became slaves. No one will beat or scold us at will, and no one will order us to do anything we are unwilling to do. The children are all very well-behaved, and Miss Tifa is also very gentle..."

Li Shanren listened to Luo Fu's story quietly, and then promised: "You can stay as long as you want, I won't drive you away."

"Thank you for taking us in! Svana, we want to give that thing to Lord Lisern." Love said to the werewolf maid with joy.

Swana took out two yellow contract papers with words written on them from her pocket and handed them to Li Shanren.

"Is this... your slave contract?"

Li Shanren pondered for a while, but still reached out and took them in his hand. This action meant that he completely accepted these two maids as members of the team.

"Well, Svana, there's something I need you to do for me." After receiving the slave contract, Li Shanren took out a bag of money.

"Are you going to do some shopping? The money you gave me before is still sufficient." said Svana.

"No, I want you to help me find a manor. It's best if it's not too far from the town. It doesn't have to be too large, but it has to have all kinds of buildings and enough rooms to accommodate all of us."

Li Shanren stuffed the bag of money into Swana's hand, and then looked at the other two maids.

"You should go with her, and try to choose the best. Money is not a problem."

With a huge sum of money of more than 100,000 gold luxos, it is estimated that ordinary small and medium-sized nobles are not as rich as him, so he has the confidence to say this.

"We will select a suitable manor for you as soon as possible." Svana took on the task and left with Love and Avril.

In the following days, led by three maids, Li Shanren visited three or four small and medium-sized manors that were listed for sale. They all had the advantages that Li Shanren required, such as being close to the city, having complete building facilities, and even having supporting servants to take care of them, so there was no need to hire new ones.

In the end, Li Shanren chose a medium-sized manor. Compared with other manors, it was relatively far from the town and took half an hour to get there by car, but its environment was good.

This manor is located next to a clear blue lake. It is a lakeside manor, and it is very beautiful with the blue sky and white clouds.

Its original owner was a fallen nobleman. It was said that his ancestors were great nobles at the marquis level. Unfortunately, each generation was worse than the previous one, and eventually the manor fell into ruin in the hands of this generation of nobles. The owner of the manor owed a large sum of money, so he had to sell this only asset.

Li Shanren spent thousands of gold coins to buy it. However, since the original owner of the manor could not afford to hire servants to take care of it, this manor covering an area of ​​100 acres was only guarded by a few slave servants, and they were kept as a gift to the manor.

By the lake, Li Shanren was admiring the mirror-clear water and felt very relaxed.

"Do you like it here?" he asked, looking down.

"Well, it's very beautiful. Are we going to live here from now on?" Alice grabbed his hand, with a hint of anticipation in her blue eyes.

"That's right, this will be our home from now on." Li Shanren said with a faint smile.

Then, he turned to look at the three maids and praised them, "This place is great. You have a much better vision than I do. It is indeed the right decision to hand this matter over to you."

"This is what we should do." Svana said with a blush on her face.

"Well, in addition to several houses and villas, the manor is also equipped with an orchard, a livestock farm, and several farmlands. I see that they are almost abandoned. If we want to take care of them again, will we not have enough manpower?"

Li Shanren's eyes fell behind the maids, where stood four old women in plain clothes with dark skin, who looked to be in their fifties or sixties. They were the slaves left behind by the original owner of the manor, who had no choice but to stay because they could not be sold.

As for the others, those who were young, strong and pretty were basically sold out.

These old women have lived in this manor for more than 20 years and are familiar with everything here, but they are probably too old and frail to do any heavy work.

The four old ladies were carefully looking at Li Shanren out of the corner of their eyes. They knew that this was the new owner in the future.

The new owner seemed to be a gentler person, not so mean, which made them feel a lot more relaxed.

"If there were only a few of us, it would be difficult to manage this manor." said Love, who was standing on Svana's left.

"Well, let's recruit some more people." Li Shanren pondered, "The specific number of people can be determined according to your needs. You don't have to ask me for everything. Just be careful to identify and don't let in suspicious people."

"Okay, we'll go recruit people later." Svana nodded in agreement.

Li Shanren looked at the three maids and continued:

"From now on, this manor will be fully handed over to you to manage. If you have any financial difficulties, please come to me. I will not interfere with other matters. In a few days, I will let all the children move here. Well... Miss Yuna should move here as well. In addition to them, I will reserve rooms for Tifa, Eivor, Ezio and Altaïr in the manor. They can come and stay at any time. Oh, by the way, please help me hire a few tutors for the children. It’s time for them to start formal studies..."
