Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

After reading the gleaming words in the daily intelligence report, Su Li paused as he caressed Ingrid's right hand.

The information updates are always particularly important during major festivals.

Today's intelligence revelations basically signaled the end of his indulgent life of enjoying beautiful women and nightly revelry.

The quiet and peaceful farming life would be replaced by the busyness and joy of the summer harvest season.

Of course, he hadn't been doing nothing at all these past few days, just lying around and enjoying himself.

In addition to the dwarves providing great assistance to his territory, his lands had also seen considerable development in farming and animal husbandry with the aid of the daily intelligence system.

For example, the Livestock Master, Bernhard, was finally found in the Crimson Highlands before the summer planting, thanks to Su Li and several nuns' full-force search, and this entity without a physical form was persuaded to move to the Rhododendron Noble Ranch in the territory.

This ranch not only housed a large number of the territory's warhorses, cattle, and sheep, but also valuable Flame Rabbits and Giant Pasture Deer. The arrival of the Livestock Master successfully ensured that the Flame Rabbits became pregnant again after more than three months, and due to the Livestock Master's characteristics, the number of offspring born per litter would increase. This time, they were likely to give birth to more than ten Flame Rabbits in one litter!

Moreover, the territory welcomed a new fantastical species, the Willow Silk Butterfly, a beautiful creature that even a straight man like Su Li would marvel at.

It was the size of an adult's palm, with mint-green wings and a body as luxurious as brocade. It was also known as the Violet Cloud Butterfly or Evergreen Moth. When it fluttered, it was so beautiful that it refreshed the heart and mind. (I strongly recommend everyone to go to the museum to see this beautiful creature, adapted from the Willow Silk Moth of Earth. The beauty and fantasy of nature really exceed human imagination and cognition. Humans cannot imagine things they have never seen, but nature will broaden your horizons. It is as beautiful and magnificent as a strange world).

This creature did not live on Su Li's proudest Blessed Wisteria tree; it did not have high requirements for the Green Gielen Wind, because it was itself a creature that produced Gielen Wind. It lived on a willow tree on the small island in the center of the territory's sacred Lake Leflein.

According to the territory's Archdruid, Fandral Oakheart, this fantastical species was a unique creature that existed since the beginning of the world, usually inhabiting the Amist Ridge in the Sleepless Mountains of the Empire's southwest, and rarely seen elsewhere.

They would form cocoons on volcanic rock walls or trees with abundant water elements. If the larvae absorbed iron elements, their bodies would turn yellowish and blackish; if the larvae absorbed water elements, they would turn into a clear mint green.

Amulets made from Willow Silk Butterfly specimens had incredibly powerful effects. When carried by church priests, they could completely purify a piece of land, eliminating the chaotic corruption, death aura, curse magic, etc., left on the land, and restore a piece of land corrupted into a wasteland to be vibrant, pure, and fertile.

Of course, unless a Willow Silk Butterfly died accidentally, few wizards or priests would actively harm this beautiful creature. Its main role was to make the territory's pollination more complete. When they flew by, they could attract pollen grains to the Willow Silk Butterfly without touching the flowers.

This meant that the orchards in the Willow Silk Butterfly's activity area would definitely have a bumper harvest that year, and would rarely encounter pests.

Su Li's focus for the next period of time would also be on planting a grove of fruit trees on the highlands near Bjorn Bay.

But right now, his most important task was to deal with the content revealed in the new intelligence report.

While eating breakfast, Su Li said to Phyllis, who was sitting obediently beside him and eating breakfast quietly, "Phyllis, go to the Night and Rose Brothel in Hassen Town later."

This beauty with crystal silver-white hair sat quietly and elegantly, sipping hot milk in small sips, truly exuding a noble elegance.

Apart from being a little weak in character and not liking to cultivate much, she could be said to be a perfect noble image, at least a duchess's image.

Su Li wasn't quite sure how she, a girl from a humble family, could have a natural royal noble temperament in her words and deeds?

Hearing Su Li's voice, Phyllis looked up in surprise, "Ah? Me? Go to a brothel?"

She was indeed a little at a loss. These days, she had also been indulging in pleasure every day, and life was so wonderful that she couldn't have imagined it before.

It wasn't just men who liked cultivation.

There were many things that could please men, such as power and prestige, such as war and horses, and even farming and management. These could give men a great sense of conquest and pleasure.

But women were relatively simpler. They were like delicate roses, yearning for the nourishment of love's rain and dew.

Love occupied ninety-nine percent of their world, especially after pleasure was satisfied, love almost occupied the entire world.

So Phyllis was very sweet every day now. She was very happy to be able to accompany Su Li.

She had no pressure in life, and she didn't need to worry too much about her career.

Every day, she just needed to sing and dance, please her beloved, make her beloved's mouth carry a pleasant smile, and after feeling the sweetness of love, there was a physically and mentally pleasant cultivation. Her married life was incredibly happy and sweet.

So these days, she was also enjoying it, enjoying the sweet married life, and had already become somewhat oblivious to worldly affairs, focusing solely on cultivation.

Suddenly hearing that she was going to go to a brothel, she was indeed a little caught off guard.

As expected, in this desperate and dark world, there could be no long-lasting happiness and sweetness?

Su Li nodded and said, "There is a Lanode monastery under this brothel. As a follower of the Goddess of the Blazing Sun, go and destroy it."

Lanode's followers were not known for their martial prowess. Although their church did have powerful knights who were self-reliant and strong, most of them were liars, thieves, prostitutes, and the like.

As a squire and a high-ranking retainer of the territory, Phyllis would have no difficulty destroying the monastery there.

She just weakly asked, "Why me?"

Why her?

Su Li said casually, "This is an opportunity to improve your strength as a squire. Don't you want to improve your strength?"

Phyllis hesitated. She wasn't really interested in improving her strength...

She liked flower arranging, dancing, singing, and gardening, but she didn't have much interest in combat.

If possible, she didn't even want to go to the battlefield.

Her childhood dreams were all about flowers, knights, and the love of roses, not the battlefield of flesh and blood.

So entrusting such an important matter to her, she couldn't help but say, "Why not let Avril go?"

Avril also nodded and said, "Lord, I can go with Phyllis."

Su Li drank his porridge and said indifferently, "No, you have other tasks. Only Phyllis can do this."

The most⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥in⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥first⊥release!

The more important reason why he had to assign this task to Phyllis was the intelligence about the Province of Suland.

Why did the intelligence always push content about this elector count?

The Province of Suland was at least three thousand imperial miles away from the Black Forest Territory, so they were completely unrelated.

Even if green-skinned warlords and air-abusing greater demons appeared there, it had nothing to do with Su Li.

Even the demons in the neighboring Gray Mountain Province, in the area bordering the Black Forest Foothills, rarely had their intelligence pushed over.

But the content about the Province of Suland in the daily intelligence system had been continuous, presented almost in the form of daily battle reports.

Considering that Phyllis was one of the most important aids for Su Li to ascend to the imperial throne.

So Su Li felt that this female courtier was probably the most mysterious of the female courtiers in terms of background.

Although she now seemed to have a gentle personality, weakness, and naivety, without any ambition or outstanding abilities, neither as steadfast and resolute as Hild, nor as mysterious in ability as Ingrid, with clear ideals and pursuits, she probably contained the greatest changes.

So it was worth Su Li's effort to cultivate her.

With Phyllis's gentle personality, of course, she couldn't go against Su Li's will, so she could only put down the milk and weakly say, "Oh, I'll go with Avril after we dry the bedding later."

"Well, you can wear my mithril rune armor later, in case of any oversights or mishaps."

In fact, this was not really necessary. There were no unknown personnel sneaking into the territory, and the underground prayer room of the brothel was definitely created secretly by a prostitute or staff member.

It would be difficult for them to pose much of a threat to a powerful squire, and after Phyllis put on the armor, she would be standing still, unable to be cut down by opponents, and might even turn the attacker into an ice sculpture.

Avril had always been close to her, and seeing her a little confused and at a loss, she patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll wait for you outside. There won't be any problems."

Hild looked at the two of them, drinking milk calmly. In fact, she was the most intelligent of all the female courtiers, and possibly even of all the attendants. She was intelligent and perceptive.

Unlike their confusion and panic, she instantly saw that the lord was intentionally cultivating Phyllis's ability to be independent and self-reliant.

But the clearer she saw, the harder it was for her to understand. What was the meaning of this?

Why cultivate a female courtier's independence and autonomy?

But since Su Li had decided on this matter, they had no ability to raise objections, and Su Li quickly arranged the other content of the intelligence report.

There was too much involved in today's intelligence content, not only concerning the harvest season, but also finally shifting the focus from the Black Forest Foothills to the surrounding areas.

It was inevitable that disputes and wars would soon arise with the surrounding forces and lords.
