Live Stream: I Am A Lord In Another World

In the reception room, Count Zane fell silent.

Richard wasn’t in a hurry either.

He sat down and quietly drank his tea.

Count Zane, subconsciously picking up his cup, took a sip and his eyes lit up: “Young friend, what is this called?”

Richard replied, “It’s tea. If you want, I can give you two packs.”

Count Zane was pleased: “In that case, I won’t refuse.”

【Wow, the anchor suddenly so generous, I’m not used to it.】

【Same here, but I feel like the anchor has a bigger plot~】

【What are you talking about? Do you understand the anchor’s vision?】

【…】

In the live chat, even a small gesture like giving tea sparked a lot of discussion.

After Count Zane expressed his pleasure, he got down to business: “If you could help me reclaim the northeastern region, becoming a count is assured. As for your request, many noble families have perished in the northeastern region, so there should be enough territory available. But are you sure you want half of the northeastern region?”

Richard looked straight at him and said, “That’s right!”

Count Zane replied, “I can’t make this decision alone; I need to report to the king. However, you should think carefully. The northeastern region borders the Beast Kingdom. If a war breaks out, and you get half of the northeastern region, you will be on the front lines. The demi-humans are quite destructive, and the territory you’ve worked so hard to build could be destroyed by them.”

Richard calmly replied, “There’s no need for Count Zane to worry about that.”

Hearing this response, Count Zane said, “Alright, I’ll report to the king immediately. It will take a day for the carrier pigeon to reach the royal city. I’ll get back to you the day after tomorrow at this time!”

Richard said, “Alright!”

“Young friend, I’ll take my leave now. After taking the medicine from your doctor, I feel a bit sleepy. I’ll go back and rest for a while.”

Thus, Richard saw Count Zane out and also gave him two packs of tea leaves.

Well, once Count Zane finishes drinking, he’ll realize just how expensive this stuff is.

Actually, it’s not that expensive. Richard bought it for just over a thousand yuan per pound on the online store. Converted to this world’s currency, it’s around 10 silver coins. However, Richard wouldn’t sell it for that cheap. A half-pound pack would likely sell for at least 5 gold coins.

Such tea is probably unaffordable for ordinary nobles. In Richard’s city, the tea sold in stores costs just over a hundred silver coins per pound, making it a luxury that commoners can’t afford. The tea available there is aimed at slightly lower-ranking nobles.

After Count Zane left, Richard went to check on the situation with the rebel captives.

The tribunal for the rebel captives was currently in session.

A large number of rebels, who had committed various crimes, were being identified.

However, many of them had been forced to join or had joined simply for food, and had not committed much wrongdoing.

Of course, perhaps due to the fact that this was General Rigg’s “trusted” troops, there were still quite a few rebels who had committed significant crimes.

Richard had no interest in personally judging each one of these individuals. They would all be put to hard labor until they died.

As for those who had been forced into the rebellion but hadn’t done any wrong, they would also be put to hard labor for reformation. After the rebels were completely subdued, if they had shown good behavior, Richard might consider giving them a chance.

He wasn’t a saint, but he wasn’t cold-blooded either.

【Anchor, let’s see the confident guy from the battlefield!】

【Yes, anchor, let us have another look at that guy~】

【…】

When Richard was checking on the captives, someone saw the confident small leader from the battlefield and started calling out.

However, Richard didn’t pay any attention to the live stream. After taking a glance, he left.

He didn’t need to personally oversee these matters.

After leaving the military camp, Richard returned to the castle.

When he saw Lacey yesterday, he had run out of internet time and couldn’t buy the compressed biscuits. Today, he planned to buy them all.

Lacey wanted ten thousand boxes of compressed biscuits, which amounted to ten thousand pounds. Richard wondered if the merchant would have that much stock.

As Richard was about to end the live stream and go on the online store to buy the biscuits, he saw Lacey with a few fox girls on the castle’s observation deck, admiring the view below.

However, to Richard’s surprise, Lacey wasn’t wearing her veil today.

He finally saw her face.

It was an exceptionally beautiful face.

She had a perfect oval face, with flawless skin, and a pair of bright, spirited eyes. Her eyebrows were also quite lovely, elegantly arched. On a scale of ten, Lacey would easily score 9.9.

What was more important was that this beauty was natural. She hadn’t applied any makeup; her beauty was completely unadorned!

Upon seeing Richard, Lacey’s stunning face revealed a slight smile.

【Wow, an elf?】

【Damn, she’s a big beauty!】

【Unbelievably beautiful!】

【I guarantee that such a beauty is one in a hundred million!】

【An immortal!】

【…】

In the live stream, Lacey’s appearance immediately caused an uproar!

The fox girls were also quite beautiful and unique, but their beauty leaned towards a delicate charm. Lacey’s beauty, on the other hand, was of an extremely perfect kind.

She wasn’t short. Even as a young woman, she stood over 1.6 meters tall, and her figure was fully developed, making her look like a graceful and stunning beauty!

In the live stream, many viewers were so stunned by her appearance that their eyes nearly popped out.

Richard then remembered that the live stream was still on and turned it off.

In general, he rarely live-streamed in his private space. He only occasionally live-streamed daily life or the situation in the castle.

【Anchor, do you really have to do this!!】

【…】

In the live stream, millions of viewers nearly went insane!

The female viewers were okay, but many male viewers who had just seen Lacey’s beauty were going crazy with excitement!

Richard was, of course, unaware of it. After closing the live stream, he quickly opened the shopping site and placed an order for ten thousand boxes of compressed biscuits.

After placing the order, Richard inquired and, indeed, the flagship store did not have that many biscuits in stock and needed a few days to arrange the goods.

“Lord Richard!”

At that moment, Richard heard Lacey’s clear voice.

He looked up and said to her, “How did you sleep last night?”

Lacey nodded and said, “I slept very comfortably in the room arranged by Lord Richard!”

It was more than just comfortable.

Lacey felt that she had never slept in such a comfortable bed before.

Additionally, the guest room Richard had prepared for her was filled with various decorations and equipment that Lacey had never seen before.

A fox girl had even taken the time to explain how to use various devices.

Things like electric lights, faucets, and water heaters were completely new to Lacey.

The guest room Richard arranged was, of course, far more advanced than the houses rented by the nobles in the city.

Although elves do not usually have a strong desire for material possessions, Lacey was still amazed by the various things in Richard’s guest room.

Richard came over to her and looked out at the city from the observation deck, saying, “The compressed biscuits you wanted will probably take six to seven days to arrive. Will that be okay?”

“Six to seven days… that’s fine!” Lacey replied.

Richard said, “For these few days, you can eat with them.”

Seeing that Lacey seemed a bit embarrassed, Richard added, “No extra money needed. The magic scrolls you gave me were worth more than that, so there’s no need for room and meal fees.”

Lacey said, “That’s very kind of you, Lord Richard.”

She was indeed a bit embarrassed.

However, she had already given all her money to Richard when purchasing the compressed biscuits and had no money left. His considerate words relieved her embarrassment and made her feel a bit of goodwill toward him.

Richard took the opportunity to talk to her about magic, “Your magic, is it related to ice?”

Lacey nodded and said, “Yes, I know Ice Magic.”

Richard said, “The magic I know is the exact opposite of yours.”

Lacey smiled and said, “I know, Lord Richard, you specialize in fire control, right?”

“Yes, I have a dedicated room in my castle for magic training. Perhaps we could exchange techniques.”

Lacey showed interest, “That sounds great!”

Seeing this, Richard took her to a room in his castle.

The room was spacious, with reinforced walls and an additional wall specifically added. Inside, there were several dummies of varying strengths and materials.

This room was built by Richard for testing the power of magic.

Since his castle was large, adding one more room was no big deal.

Once inside the room, Richard demonstrated his fire control ability by casting a fireball.

The blazing fireball shot out, hitting a dummy and tearing it apart.

“Lord Richard’s fireball spell is quite powerful!” Lacey remarked.

Richard looked at her and asked, “I haven’t seen other mages. How would you rate this fireball spell compared to others?”

Lacey said, “Actually, I’m not sure. There are indeed very few mages.”

Richard asked, “Apart from me, have you seen other mages?”

Lacey replied, “Yes, my—teacher.”

“Teacher?”

Lacey nodded and explained, “Yes, my teacher is much more powerful than I am. I’ve been learning from her all this time, but recently, there have been some issues in my clan, so I had to return to help.”

Richard casually inquired, “What happened?”

Lacey said, “It’s not a big deal. It’s just that the area where my people used to live was invaded. The clan members are preparing to migrate, and once they move to a new place, the fruit vines and trees they cultivated will no longer be useful and will need to be replanted. So, they need a lot of food to get through the transition.”

Lacey had developed a certain level of subconscious trust in Richard. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have shared such details with him before.

Hearing this, Richard’s mind was stirred.

Lacey’s strength was undoubtedly impressive.

In the legends of the continent, elves were also known for their formidable combat abilities. Many elves were born as exceptional archers, even better than the fox people in archery.

Fox people were known for their strong arms and proficiency in long-range throwing. Elves, on the other hand, excelled in precision and were renowned for their accuracy.

Having a team of elven archers under his command would undoubtedly be a significant advantage.

However, Richard chose not to pursue the topic further.

Elves were far more cautious of humans than demi-humans.

If Richard were to extend an invitation now, even if Lacey trusted him, other elves might not come due to their wariness.

Moreover, he was not yet familiar enough with this half-elf girl.

So, Richard decided to wait.

Lacey would be staying here for a few more days. It would be better to get to know her better and learn more from her before making any plans.
