She was wearing a black and white maid outfit, with long light golden hair hanging down on her shoulders in twin ponytails. Coupled with her beautiful youthful appearance, she was so lovable.

33. Twin ponytails and little loli

Although Rosa is the monitor of the maid class, since she became Lu Heng's personal maid, she can no longer stay close to other maids.

That would naturally require another person to coordinate and manage the maids with Rosa.

Although Lu Heng did not give any specific orders, Barbaris took on this role very consciously.

Barbaris is 16 years old this year, which is relatively older than the maid class where the average age is 15.

Her personality is like that of an older sister, and it is always easy for people to get close to her.

If Leliam takes care of everyone's stomach, Barbaris' sunny temperament illuminates everyone's hearts.

Her appearance is also quite good. Her rosy, tender face with clear lines and flawless appearance gives people a feeling of beauty and health.

Unlike Rosa who is shy and reserved, Barbaris exudes the radiance of elegance and confidence.

When she found Lu Heng looking at her, she looked back gracefully.

This made Lu Heng discover once again that there seemed to be stars shining in her pink eyes.

There was innocence mixed with sweet charm, as if making some unspeakable invitation to Lu Heng.

Combined with her soft waist, it really felt like she would fall down with just one push, which ignited a passion in Lu Heng that usually needed to be restrained...

But...it's time to eat now.

No matter how in-depth the communication is, it is better to do it after dinner.

As Lu Heng thought about this, he savored the delicate cream cake and recalled the content about Barbaris on the roster.

She had a fulfilling and nurturing childhood.

However, as misfortunes happened in her family, both her parents died in the chaos.

Barbaris could only wander with her brother.

Her down-and-out brother decided to change his fate at all costs.

Later, her brother got a chance to become an imperial gentleman.

For this reason, the brother chose to sacrifice his sister.

Later, as a price, Barbaris naturally became a high-end maid in the Burios family.

Despite all the traumatic experiences she's endured, Barbaris has remained positive.

She didn't write down her future plans, but she was not at all a passive person. Instead, she was enthusiastic every day.

Before she came to the Mountain Territory, she had already accumulated a lot of artistic knowledge in literature, music, dance and other fields.

This makes Barbaris more like a smart and knowledgeable noble lady than the stereotypical humble maid.

This makes her passionate yet also implicitly elegant.

Lu Heng also felt that Barbaris might have come from a family more noble than the Burios family.

But Barbaris didn't want to reveal her background, so Lu Heng didn't forcefully try to pry into her secret.

But there was one more thing he wanted to know.

Lu Heng activated the psychic vision he had just acquired, looked around, and found that except for Rosa, everyone else's vision was dim, but the degree of dimness varied.

Maid No. 2, Leliam, is almost transparent under psychic vision, which means that her progress in accumulating psychic matter is very slow.

Maid No. 3, Barbaris, is making much faster progress.

A lot of spiritual energy has been accumulated in her body, and she is almost just one step away from being promoted to the first level.

This may be related to the difference in their food intake since childhood.

Rosa's father may have started training his daughter to be a spellcaster very early so that she could become an adventurer or an affairs officer, so he would give her a lot of meat rich in psychic energy.

Although Leliam's father is a great chef, the food his family eats is rather ordinary, so Leliam is still far from being promoted in rank.

It is possible that Barbaris ate better than Rosa when she was a child, but subsequent family changes interrupted this process.

But even so, her "talent" to be a spellcaster is much stronger than that of ordinary maids.

Lu Heng planned to find Barbaris to conduct experiments first after the reserves of psychic crystals were sufficient.

Perhaps she will become the first spellcaster to be "ripened" by the psychic crystal.

What will be her special talent?

When I think about it, I’m really looking forward to it.

Some girls also have some spiritual energy accumulated in their bodies, but it's not as obvious as Barbaris's.

For example, Lu Heng’s maid No. 4, Chloe, has also reached a medium-to-high level of psychic energy in her body.

But in addition to her psychic progress, she also has a kind of beauty that can inspire a desire to protect, which makes Lu Heng like her very much.

She has flawless skin as white as ice and snow, and her long lavender hair gives her a fresh and lovely temperament.

Those big, bright eyes were deep blue, as clear and transparent as lake water.

And her petite, delicate and charming figure is also unusually soft and slender.

The most special thing is that she is a 15-year-old girl, but her height is only 145 cm.

In addition, the openness of her chest, which was totally inconsistent with her age, made her look even younger.

This made Lu Heng a little worried. After this girl developed for another 3 years, when she was 18 years old, would she have an A?

It seems very uncertain...

As if she had noticed Lu Heng's gaze, Chloe lowered her head slightly.

It was like a silent apology: "I'm sorry, Chloe has let the master down."

It turns out that the mind is sensible, but the body just can't keep up?

What a cute little thing that makes people want to protect it.

But then again, what's wrong with small breasts? Aren't small breasts scarce?

As the saying goes: reject childish aesthetics! Start with others!

As for why she was sold to the Mountains, it was somewhat accidental.

At that time, she and her family were judged by the empire's moral judge to be morally flawed, and the only fate that could match their virtues was to be surpassed by thousands of people.

After being excommunicated by the moral judge...her entire family must have died...

However, the son-in-law branch of the Burios family believed that Chloe's small size could satisfy the special hobbies of some noble lords and had great economic prospects.

This is why Chloe was "lucky" enough to survive and reach the Mountains.

Lu Heng sighed secretly in his heart, what a poor child.

After helping Barbaris become a spellcaster, help her get promoted as well.

Once she has the strength, the threshold for others to bully her has greatly increased.

However, promoting maids to spellcasters is not their only future.

Although some maids have very little psychic energy in their bodies and cannot be the first choice for promotion to spellcasters, they also have special professional skills.

For example, Lu Heng’s maid No. 5, Christina.

She is 168 cm tall, with a slim and focused figure, and her long reddish-brown hair is particularly charming.

A pair of bright and sharp lavender eyes always exudes a kind of persistence and intelligence.

She just turned 17 this year, the oldest among all the maids.

But Christina remained silent and was not as able to organize the girls as the younger Barbaris.

While Lu Heng was savoring the tender and juicy steak and admiring Christina's beauty, he basically came to a conclusion:

If she were a girl from my hometown, she might become a top student in science and engineering. At least she really has that serious and unworldly temperament.

The specialties she had written on the roster were also unique:

“I am very interested in weapons, especially war weapons, and hope to have the opportunity to engage in research in this area.”

34. The Artisan Maid and the Merchant Girl

Christina's father was an imperial craftsman who specialized in making war machines.

Perhaps influenced by her father, Christina has been interested in all kinds of machines, including war machines, since she was a child.

Her father did not prevent his daughter from learning this kind of knowledge, but instead trained her to be his assistant - although his choice was difficult for his colleagues to understand.

Imperial craftsmen often accompanied the army on expeditions and participated in the operation of war machines.

In this way, when a war machine has problems, there will always be craftsmen to repair it.

If Christina also wanted to become an imperial craftsman, she would have to go to the battlefield with the army like her father.

However, the Imperial Army rarely recruits women who are unable to cast spells into combat units.

Even if they do exist, they are often just tools for men to vent their emotions.

So even if Christina learned a lot of knowledge about war machines, she would find it difficult to use it.

After all, she had no interest in being a tool for venting anger.

But Christina's father was always stubborn. Since his daughter liked it, he let her learn it.

In the eyes of this old father, satisfying his daughter's interests will make him happy.

Even if what my daughter learns is not practical.

However, this professional who only talked about reason but failed to see the situation clearly, failed in another matter.

In the empire's logistics supply chain, it is relatively rare to be missing a shield today and a bundle of feather arrows tomorrow.

Because the speed of "losing" was too slow, they "accidentally lost" many shields and many bundles of arrows at the same time.

Even various parts of the war machine can be accidentally lost.

Whether it is resold later or there is infighting between troops, there will always be a shortage of weight.

The bad thing is that Christina's father is meticulous in his work and was promoted to a small leader in charge of logistical supplies.

While everyone else was very sensible, this old father kept a record of lost supplies.

This way, we can clearly see when each batch of equipment was lost and who handled it.

If it happens only once or twice, maybe others can still tolerate it.

But over time, his imperial colleagues could no longer tolerate his "deliberate display of how fair and honest he was."

Eventually, the father was executed by Imperial officers because the war machines he built "performed poorly" in a rebellion war.

His daughter was also punished and sold to the Mountains.

Lu Heng expressed deep sympathy for Christina's situation, and he also wanted to give her a chance to fully display her talents.

After all, he had just purchased a batch of disassembled war machines from Artemisia Town, and he could give them some tinkering for her.

However, this kind of 0 yuan purchase can only bring temporary wealth.

If you only have something that everyone else has, sooner or later you will be crushed by a more powerful force with a larger size.

So Lu Heng still has to research something more useful.

Whether it is a new type of war weapon or a more technologically advanced daily necessities, these cannot be purchased for 0 yuan.

Lu Heng must vigorously engage in independent research and development and persist in developing things that others do not have.

To do this, he needs researchers like Christina on the one hand, and financial assistants to help him financially.

When he thought of economical talents, Lu Heng shifted his gaze and looked at maid No. 6, Sintija, who was sitting opposite him and chewing slowly.

This graceful girl wears a crown of flowers, and her seductive emerald green hair falls gently to her waist, as smooth as flowing water.
