Age of Apocalypse

Perth said sincerely, "Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity, Mr. Chuck."

"Then, let's get started." Chuck said, taking out a golden emerald dagger. The breath of life lingering on it is the attribute of a magic tool.

Chuck held the dagger in his hand and made a horizontal cut along the abdomen of the steel-spine golden lion, but no blood flowed out. He could only vaguely see the faint green light flashing along with the magic tool dagger.

Just like surgery, a caesarean section was performed on the dead lioness.

Carefully place the twelve lion cubs that have not yet taken off their afterbirths on the clean sheepskins.

The largest ones are no more than the size of a fist, the smallest ones are not even as big as the palm of a hand, and the weak ones have almost no breath.

Afterwards, Old Chuck knelt on the ground, raised his hands above his head, and performed the most devout prayers and calls.

The obscure spell seemed to have a natural rhythm, and the pair of antlers on his head became as crystal clear as jade.

Triangular magic arrays appeared on the parchment, their mysterious and beautiful light exuding the fragrance of vegetation.

Perth looked at the brilliance floating in the air and seemed to feel the rhythm of the earth. This was rich, slow, powerful but gentle that he had never felt before...

The pulse, blood, and even Perth's body are changing with this rhythm.

Even the beating of his heart became slower, but more vigorous. It gathered all the energy, and the golden vortex became dazzling, as if it wanted to reflect all the dark corners in his body!

When Perth came back to his senses, he saw Old Chuck looking at him with a deep and somewhat relieved expression, and said, "Congratulations, Your Excellency, Baron, when my magic blessed them, your vigorous aura infected them.

At this time, you are probably the closest person to them in the world!"

Feeling the vigorous energy of the heart, the blood carries them to every corner of the body.

Perth feels like it can move a mountain!

Elite level bronze! This is a rare opportunity. The rhythm of nature not only made his restless heart feel the peace that he had not seen for a long time. Even the fighting spirit in his body gained an indescribable spirituality.

He quickly took the sheepskin wrapped with twelve lion cubs handed over by Old Chuck, and found that the little lion cubs who were dying just now had fallen asleep and even grew fetal hair. This made Perth intuitively appreciate the magic.

Then he said, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Chuck. If you don't mind, I will host a banquet for you in my castle to express my most sincere gratitude."

Just when Old Chuck was about to say something, residents in the distance came out one after another.

When they saw the bodies of Perth and the lion, they immediately cheered, "Long live the lord!" "Long live the lord!"

Obviously, this is not a good place to talk.

Reluctantly, the two had no choice but to return to the castle with the body of the lioness and the little lion in their arms.

........

On the way back, people kept saying hello to Perth.

When Old Chuck saw this, he couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that your prestige and kindness have been deeply imprinted in the hearts of your subjects."

"Thank you for your praise. This is my minimum responsibility as a lord. Besides, I still have a lot that I haven't done well," Perth said with a smile.

He couldn't help but look at the cattle carts, chickens and ducks passing by the roadside, and said helplessly, "It's like the feces on the roadside, which affects the hygiene of the territory."

Old Chuck was stunned for a moment, thinking that the Baron was really humorous. What a big deal this was.

After all, even in some places in the emerald Nanshan City, such scenes cannot be avoided.

After thinking about it, I could only shake my head and say with a smile, "You are so humble."

....

Back at the castle, Old Chuck looked down at the tulip emblem on the floor tiles in the castle hall, lost in thought for a long time.

It was Old Stone who saw Chuck when he greeted Perth and couldn't help but joked, "Old Chuck, your legs and feet are really fast!"

"Old guy, you're not young anymore!" Old Chuck replied.

Perth couldn't help but be a little surprised to see the two of them so familiar.

After all, druids yearn for nature, and they are often very mysterious.

In this regard, Old Chuck smiled and explained, "Don't be surprised, Mr. Perth. Stone and I were both servants of your late mother, Mrs. Najib.

It's just that when you were born, I was about to be promoted to Archdruid. So your mother made a promise with me: "When you become a knight, it will be the day I follow you."

Fortunately, you lived up to your expectations and gave me the honor to step into the gate of Tulip Castle again.

But, I wonder if you can forgive me for leaving and accept my loyalty?"

In response to this, Perth could no longer suppress his laughter and said, "A great druid who is comparable to the Golden Knight, I can't ask for more, haha!"

Then he turned to Old Ston and said, "Mr. Ston, it seems that the dinner prepared by Aunt Luo Lin today will be more sumptuous.

I would also like to invite Mr. Nader and Knight Case to support Mr. Chuck!"

At night, Tulip Castle ushered in the long-lost excitement.

The memories of Old Stone and Chuck made Perth feel the memories of the original owners.

Her long golden hair was tied up, and her eyes were as bright as gold and jade, revealing incomparable kindness.

She always wears a snow-white tunic, listens to the play of elves, and sings melodious songs...

.........

These days, Perth has become more diligent in order to develop the territory.

Especially after discovering that Old Chuck, an archdruid, was proficient in the mysteries of the elements and had engraved an inscription on the waterwheel to gather elemental energy.

After practicing every morning, Perth would take Keith and three knights to conduct on-site inspections along the Yuxi River. By the way, he would bring along the serfs who had been taking care of the waterwheel all year round. He also planned to build a new inscription waterwheel to increase the food production of Tulip Collar.

, and planned to reduce the land rent for serfs.

After all, although he had no intention of changing the serfdom system, he had no intention of undermining the serfs' enthusiasm for production under such extreme oppression.

Not only that, you will also learn about natural elements with Chuck after lunch. At night, you will use the moonlight to exercise your body and fighting spirit.

A regular and peaceful life always makes people forget the passage of time.

........

Tulip Castle, Governor Nader is reporting work progress to Perth.

Nader held the parchment and compared it carefully, fearing that he would miss an item.

"Your Excellency Perth, the newly built waterwheels and canals are ready for use, and the reclamation of wasteland is also in progress. As for the remaining two waterwheels, I am afraid they will not be able to catch up with today's autumn harvest.

In addition, Mrs. Rowling's purchase of wild animals and poultry continues every day, but there are only about a dozen more farmers in the town.

But they just circled a piece of grass in the backyard of the house and fed a dozen or so animals, which was their limit.

This is almost all the quantity in the town. Not only is the quantity too small, but it will also take a while for the next batch to mature."

As the level of fighting spirit in Perth increases, at least seven or eight colorful chickens or three guinea fowls will be consumed a day, not counting others.

Seeing Nader's slight frustration, Perth immediately said, "The quantity is small because the demand in the town is still small, but we have already made a good start, right?"

"By the way, how is the porcelain workshop?" Perth asked next.

Mentioning the porcelain workshop, Nader smiled and replied, "Oh, my Excellency! Thanks to your various exquisite and novel designs, we already have more than 300 pieces of exquisite tulip porcelain in stock. I think

That’s enough for us to trade.”

In fact, many of Nader's arrangements as a consul were very appropriate. "You did a good job, Nader the consul."

"You have commended me. This is what I should do, Your Excellency." Nader bowed and said.

"In addition, every street in Tulip Town must build a public toilet. It is prohibited to defecate and defecate at will, and all residents must go to public toilets to solve personal hygiene problems.

And look for a place to build a large pond to collect excrement and fertilize farmland." This is what Perth has always wanted to mention, but has never said.

After all, the Tulip Territory has now stabilized, and Perth must seize any opportunity to develop its territory.

Nader was stunned after hearing this, and then asked, "Of course, but... what is fertilization?"

"Fertilization means mixing and fermenting the collected manure with grass ash. This not only allows the food to grow better, but also maintains the hygiene of the town. There is even a place to dispose of the excess straw and wheat straw after harvesting.

Mr. Nader, look, this is simply killing three birds with one stone!"

After Perth said this, he was very proud, and even thought coquettishly in his heart that he was really a genius!

But Nader looked confused and said with some disapproval, "But your magic elves can do these things for you, so why bother collecting feces? After all, they are so disgusting. And it will cost more."

The Golden Madrid.”

"Okay, Mr. Nader, you will know, just go and make arrangements." After hearing this, Perth didn't know how to explain it. After all, the natives of Hogworth did not have this concept.

Of course, since the great druid Chuck Pan followed.

In this world where farming is the basis and food is the hard currency, Perth began to focus on using Chuck's various magical inscriptions to achieve the goal of increasing food production as quickly as possible.

Even the "septic tank", Perth has already planned to engrave an inscription on the bottom of the tank that brings together the elements of the earth.

Old Chuck was even numb to this.

After thinking, Nader had to ask another question, "But if this is the case, I'm afraid there won't be enough workers in the tulip collar."

"Then gather workers and organize a special engineering team.

Each worker was given a monthly salary of fifty denarii, and a captain was selected from among them, a salary of seventy denarii per month.

After all, the development of the territory does not happen overnight." Perth expressed with a big wave of his hand.

Of course, as a competent lord, Perth naturally knows that these need to meet the basic conditions for development, which is population, a large number of people and talents!

So he added, "At the same time, we must transport as many people as possible."

"Next month is the day when the caravan sets off, I think we can buy serfs in large quantities.

I think you know, this is the fastest way to replenish the population." In this regard, Nader quickly gave advice.

Afterwards, Nader said, "In this case, as the leader of the caravan, I wonder who you have, Mr. Nader?"

After all, this time is different from before. Porcelain will be the signature of Tulip Town’s future operations!

Nader seized the opportunity and said with a smile, "My assistant Laura Plantagenet, you have met her.

He is smart and reliable, so I would like to recommend him as a guarantor to lead the caravan."

As he said that, Perce recalled the smart and capable boy. As a descendant of an exiled nobleman, Laura's knowledge goes without saying.

And nodded and said, "In this case, let him train with the knights who are the retinue of Knight Commander Case.

After all, the risk of doing business is too high, and it is very beneficial to have some ability to protect yourself." Perth

"Your generosity and kindness make me ashamed, noble Baron!" Nader saluted and complimented.

Unknowingly, the golden-red sunset reflected through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the castle hall, as if giving the castle a dreamy brilliance.

Only then did Perth issue an eviction order, stood up and said, "Okay, it's getting late, Mr. Nader, I'm going to have to work hard for you during this time."

"Please take care of yourself, I'm taking my leave." After saying that, Nader bowed and left.
