Standing at the door, Tang En listened to the rustling sounds inside, mixed with the low whispers of Illya and Clara. He felt very fortunate in his heart.
Thanks to his rich "knowledge" from Earth, he successfully avoided an awkward situation, and Tang En silently praised himself.
After all, whether it was Elsa or Illya, they were both very familiar with him, and Aberton could also contribute a lot to Ellington in the future. If something awkward really happened, it would be difficult to meet them again.
"Lord, you can come in now..."
With Clara's permission, Tang En walked in and saw that Clara was covered in sweat, her face slightly flushed, and even her nose was sweating.
The last time Aberton brought Clara back from Alinx, Clara had stayed in the carriage the whole time. This was the first time Tang En had seen her. Seeing this beauty, Tang En couldn't help but marvel at Aberton's good luck for winning the favor of such a beauty.
From Clara's face, Tang En could vaguely see what Elsa would look like in the future. Compared to the young Elsa, Clara was clearly more mature and charming.
After subconsciously looking around and combining the clues he saw, Tang En immediately knew what kind of event he had just avoided, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Just now, Illya said she was helping the weak Clara wipe her sweat, but she clearly overlooked something more important.
Due to the very hot weather and no one else coming to the house, Clara wasn't wearing any clothes...
Clara said a bit awkwardly, "I'm sorry, my lord, I can't get up to greet you..."
"No problem."
Tang En smiled and said, "I don't mind these things. But speaking of which, Aunt Clara, you are so weak, and Uncle Aberton is not at home to take care of you every day. That's really not right. Should I talk to him about it?"
Tang En's attitude made Clara feel very good about him. Plus, he didn't rush in just now, so Clara was very friendly to him and said softly, "No need. He has his own things to do, and I understand him."
Tang En's face turned serious, "Thank you for your understanding. You are truly a considerate and good wife."
Clara said a bit embarrassed, "Right, I haven't asked what brings you here, my lord. Are you looking for Elsa?"
"No, no, I just made something good, so I came to give the employees some benefits."
Tang En smiled, "This weather is unbearable even for a child like Illya. Aunt Clara, with your poor health, it must be even worse for you, right?"
"I'm sorry to trouble you. If I were in better health, I wouldn't have troubled Illya."
Clara touched Illya's head, feeling very sorry to see her covered in sweat.
Originally planning to take out the air conditioner, Tang En had a sudden idea and took out a bottle of life potion and handed it to Clara, "Speaking of which, I forgot. Aunt Clara, try drinking this. The Blood of the Goddess can heal all injuries. It might help you feel better."
"The Blood of the Goddess..."
Clara smiled and shook her head, "No need to waste it. The Blood of the Goddess won't work for me. I'm not injured."
Tang En smiled, "Why not give it a try?"
"I..."
Clara originally wanted to say that she had already tried it, but after hesitating, she swallowed her words and took the life potion, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, my lord."
Then, under Tang En's watchful eyes, Clara drank the life potion. The life potion, which had always brought Tang En various surprises, disappointed him this time. After Clara drank it, her complexion only became a bit rosier and her complexion improved slightly, but the weak aura still lingered around her.
Tang En couldn't help but frown.
Clara smiled helplessly, "You see, I told you it wouldn't work. You wasted a precious bottle of the Blood of the Goddess, my lord..."
"No problem. It's not a big deal for me."
Tang En nodded slightly, "Aunt Clara, don't worry. I'll think of a way to solve your problem when I have the chance."
"I don't want to trouble you, my lord. You are busy with official duties. Don't waste your energy."
Clara was very clear about her condition, so she tried to persuade Tang En not to waste his efforts. However, the stubborn Tang En didn't want to give up. How could he, a穿越者 from Earth, fail to solve such a simple illness? What kind of savior would he be then?
Tang En secretly noted this matter and said, "Alright, let's put this aside for now. Let's talk about the main thing... Oh, right, I came to give the employees some benefits."
"Benefits?"
Clara was very interested in this new term.
"Here it is."
Tang En took out a magic air conditioner in front of Clara. Since she had already heard about Tang En from her husband and daughter, she wasn't surprised by his spatial equipment. Instead, she looked curiously at the square box.
Tang En asked, "Is this your and Uncle Aberton's bedroom?"
"Yes."
So, Tang En looked around and placed the magic air conditioner on a side cabinet, inserted a magic crystal, and smiled, "Now, let it cool you down for the whole summer."
Saying that, Tang En turned on the magic air conditioner, and soon the cool air filled the entire room.
"This, this is..."
Clara's eyes widened in surprise, "How can this thing blow cold air?"
If it were the Clara before Elsa was born, she could have clearly felt the magical aura of the array inside the box. But the current Clara didn't have that ability and thought there was some secret inside the box.
"Wow! So cool!"
Illya exclaimed in delight, "Big brother is so awesome! Big brother is so great!"
Illya obviously idolized Tang En unconditionally. Plus, she was young and didn't feel anything was wrong. She only knew that she would have a very comfortable summer... Wait!?
Thinking of this, Illya suddenly froze. After a moment, she pitifully hugged Tang En's leg, her big eyes looking at him with a helpless expression, "Hey, big brother, this thing—"
"It's called an air conditioner."
"Okay! Can we have one in my and Elsa's room too?"
Illya looked at Tang En nervously, afraid he would refuse.
Seeing her nervousness, Tang En suddenly had a mischievous idea and said, "There's only one air conditioner. If I give it to you, Aunt Clara won't have one. What should we do?"
"Ah..."
Illya was stunned, standing there for a long time before pouting, "Okay, we won't have one. We should make Mom more comfortable..."
Seeing Illya's filial piety, Tang En was very satisfied. Just as he was about to tease her, she pouted and said, "I'll sleep here at night..."
Tang En and Clara couldn't help but laugh.
Unable to resist, Tang En patted Illya's head and smiled, "Alright, I won't tease you. Where is your room? I'll go install it for you."
"Ah! You're mean!"
Illya glared at Tang En angrily, "Big brother, you tricked Illya! You're so bad!"
"No choice," Tang En shrugged, "Who could resist when Illya looks so cute when tricked? I just couldn't help it..."
Illya stubbornly pounded Tang En's stomach with her small fists, "Big brother is a bad guy! Big brother has a bad heart! Big brother is so annoying!"
"Ha ha..."
Tang En couldn't help but laugh. After laughing enough, he went to Illya and Elsa's room to install the air conditioner for them. Then he returned to Clara's room and explained how to adjust the air flow and turn off the air conditioner. After all, Clara's health was very weak, and being in the cold air for a long time could cause problems. This was an important matter that needed to be explained.
After distributing the benefits, Illya saw Tang En to the door. Feeling the heat wave outside, Illya immediately stopped, "I won't see you out, big brother!"
Tang En was very surprised. Illya wasn't usually like this...
"It's too hot outside..."
Illya stuck out her tongue, her face suddenly serious, "And big brother tricked Illya just now, so Illya decides not to talk to big brother for the whole day!"
Tang En was speechless and waved goodbye.
"Big brother!"
Tang En paused, perking up his ears.
"Thank you! And... I like big brother the most!"
Hearing the door close, Tang En smiled and left. Teasing the little girl occasionally was... truly delightful...
On his way, he went to the blacksmith's shop to solve the heat problem for Brian and the others. After receiving the admiration and gratitude of the apprentices, Tang En was chased away by Brian, who now hoped Tang En would stay at the steel mill every day to supervise the progress. He was eager to use the new steel.
After this long detour, Tang En returned to the lord's mansion and then remembered Fiona, who was still in the study.
"It's so hot, she must be uncomfortable..."
Tang En's lips curled up, and he walked leisurely toward the study. As he approached, he heard a conversation inside.
"Speak! Who sent you, and why are you sneaking around the workshop!?"
"I told you, I'm not a suspicious person... I'm just curious about Ellington's secrets... Oh, right! Do you have trade relations with the elves? Is there an elf in Ellington?"
Tang En was stunned, pushed the door open, and saw a handsome and dashing man waving his hands excitedly. Fiona and Elsa beside him looked helpless.
Who is this guy?
