#207 - Huge profits from farming

After returning to Heissenburg from the border front, Su Li had been recuperating.

The Battle of the Outpost had almost completely drained him of his Windwing Rune.

At the time, the exciting news kept his body stimulated, and he couldn't feel the pain. But after returning to the territory and gradually settling down, he felt soreness all over his body. In the past few days, he hadn't even gotten out of bed much, experiencing the feeling of an elderly patient confined to bed, which made him look forward to the arrival of his child even more. These days, his female courtiers had been taking care of him at his bedside without taking off their clothes.

According to the advice of Fandral Oak, a priest of the Church of the Dawn Goddess, Su Li had been living in the garden under the Blessed Wisteria Tree these days, relying on the surging Gale Wind to restore his life energy and vitality. The witch Ingrid had been taking care of him.

In addition, the pods of the Blessed Wisteria Tree had also begun to mature. There were a total of 13 beans in the pods. When fully mature, eating one bean could increase one's lifespan by one month, and 13 beans would increase one's lifespan by exactly one year.

However, since the Blessed Wisteria Tree had just been planted, its age rings and strength were not enough, and the fruits it bore were still very unripe. According to Fandral's careful research and evaluation, it could probably only increase one's lifespan by two weeks. He couldn't make a detailed judgment on the specifics.

But for a young man like Su Li, it was all the same. Anyway, if he started eating them now, he could extend his life by hundreds of years.

So, in the past few days, he had been eating the pods like candy beans, consuming ten strings of them! If the quality wasn't enough, he would make up for it with quantity.

After eating 130 beautiful beans that exuded a faint purple light, his vitality became a little too strong.

To the point that strange changes began to appear on his body. Purple vines grew on his skin, verdant green grass grew on the top of his head, and there were three small purple flowers.

He truly had a green prairie on his head!

It was really bad luck, and he was so frightened that he quickly asked Fandral Oak what was going on.

Fandral was also taken aback. He searched through the church's records but couldn't find such a case.

Mainly because no force would eat this kind of extraordinary spiritual fruit like candy beans, especially not an elite-level knight. Such an opportunity was even rarer.

Fandral could only say that he needed to pray and ask Lera to know how to deal with it.

But fortunately, before Fandral could obtain a divine revelation from the goddess, the matter quickly took a turn for the better.

After his vitality flourished, he began to cultivate diligently. Every day, his female courtiers cried out for mercy, and even Ingrid, the powerful knight chosen by the goddess, admitted defeat in the fierce cultivation process.

If she wasn't so fond of Su Li, lying in his arms and indulging in his various behaviors, she wouldn't have been able to hold on.

At the same time, Su Li's fire-attribute bloodline ability also began to take effect under the blessing of the breathing technique, quickly baking the various flowers and plants that had grown on his body until they withered.

This made Su Li couldn't help but find it funny. Could any green prairie on a man's head be removed by powerful cultivation?

But no matter what, solving this problem made him feel extremely good.

At the same time, he didn't dare to be so reckless anymore. This world has always had this characteristic: moderation is generous, but greed easily leads to bad consequences.

So, he generously took out half of the remaining pods of the Blessed Wisteria Tree and rewarded them to the meritorious officials of the territory who had contributed to this battle.

The fruit of the Blessed Wisteria Tree was incredibly productive. Besides the ones Su Li ate, there were still more than 120 left.

The remaining half was taken by Su Li to Thorns Town and auctioned off. Even those knights who had made meritorious achievements needed to buy this powerful spiritual fruit for their families.

And merchants, dwarves, and halflings showed amazing wealth.

These 60 Blessed Wisteria Tree pods sold for a sky-high price of 12,500 gold crowns!

This was a scale of wealth that Su Li had never seen before.

But even so, Su Li still felt that this price was far from reflecting the true value of these spiritual fruits.

For some kings, nobles, and legendary powerhouses, a year of life was immeasurable in value.

Su Li felt that the nobles would spend a fortune on such a spiritual fruit without hesitation.

You know, the Royal Griffin Military Academy of Mordheim relies on a Grace Tree to support a huge force comparable to an Elector Count's territory. It allows the dean of the academy to join the secular electoral college and become one of the dignitaries who control the fate and direction of the empire.

Even if the Blessed Wisteria Tree doesn't have such powerful abilities, it will still earn Su Li 100,000 gold crowns a year in the future.

But this requires a long process. The effect of the Blessed Wisteria Tree pods is really not obvious.

It is difficult to prove to people how much it has specifically extended their lives.

The most important reason why this auction was only worth more than 10,000 gold coins was because of this. The people had not heard of the reputation of the Blessed Wisteria Tree pods and completely trusted and followed Su Li, so they chose to believe in the effects he promoted and bought a portion of the not-so-obvious spiritual fruit for a price of more than 200 gold crowns.

Su Li estimated that it would take decades or even hundreds of years for the effect of this fruit tree to be fully realized before people would be extremely convinced.

Of course, Su Li could completely afford to wait.

If there were no powerful foreign enemies invading, he could farm here for a thousand years.

And besides the maturity of the Blessed Wisteria Tree, the other biggest achievement of farming recently was undoubtedly the spiritual grain field northwest of Thorns Manor.

After Fandral spared no expense to forcibly release the second [Descent of the Sun], the Emerald Spike successfully sprouted and grew in this third purple spiritual field.

Relying on the Gale Wind continuously absorbed by the Blessed Wisteria Tree, this Emerald Spike developed very well and had grown into a green wheat seedling.

Especially at night, this wheat seedling emitted a fluorescent green light, which complemented the beautiful wisteria of the Blessed Wisteria Tree, really giving Ingrid's garden a magical garden feel.

The low trunk of the Star Dew Sweet Orange was not conspicuous in this garden, but it brought unparalleled fragrance to this garden.

Su Li could guarantee that anyone who smelled this fragrance would never forget it and would directly assert that it was the most wonderful fragrance he had ever smelled in his life.

The fragrance of the Star Dew Sweet Orange was like the breeze of a clear summer morning, with a faint citrus freshness and a subtle floral fragrance, light and deep, making people feel relaxed and happy.

At first smell, it was like the fragrance of plants and flowers coming towards you, like a sweet orange as the base, blended with the rich iris and tuberose floral fragrance, outlining a rich sense of layering, releasing a intoxicating fragrance.

When surrounded by the fragrance, it had a faint botanical fragrance, very fresh, with a hint of plants and nature, making people feel calm and relaxed.

When you left, there was still a clear aftertaste on your body, as if your whole body was carrying a mysterious and noble natural atmosphere, giving everyone who came into contact with it a feeling of peace and joy.

Of course, its effect was far more than these. Its charming fragrance was just a characteristic attached to its powerful ability.

The reason why this third spiritual tree was called Star Dew Sweet Orange was because every time the starry sky descended, its leaves would shine with a faint silver light, like stars falling into the world, and the fruit, Star Dew Sweet Orange, was like a luminous pearl under the moonlight, emitting a bright fluorescent light.

In this beautiful scene, no matter how serious a human was poisoned by snake venom or entangled by a vicious curse, as long as they entered the vicinity of this spiritual tree, they would relieve their pain, fall asleep peacefully, and enter a dream.

When they woke up, all the curses and poisons on their body would be completely purified! It was as if all of this was left on themselves in the dream.

Su Li even felt that this Star Dew Sweet Orange might one day evolve into the legendary [Avalon], the mysterious island that King Arthur went to after his death, surrounded by swamps, forests, and mist, which could only be reached by boat. When King Arthur's body arrived at Avalon by boat, it would be awakened by the Lady of the Lake and would come out again to save his kingdom when the world was in danger.

In short, this place was indeed worthy of a poem: "In a dream, I don't know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of clear dreams, pressing on the galaxy".

And the reason why Su Li knew all this was because on the Day of Mysteries, his knights entered the terrible Corpse Demon Fortress. Two full teams of knights wearing Mithril Rune Armor, led by Captain Constantine, entered this ancient castle and went on a killing spree.

They slaughtered more than 200 terrifying Corpse Demons. These Corpse Demons were neither living nor dead. They were all travelers, hunters, and exiles who had unfortunately lost their way and strayed into this forbidden area.

They endured long hunger and the cold of the mountains, risking exposure to the most insidious effects of the winds of magic. At this point, even the most steadfast were forced to mutate into demonic shells, thus becoming Corpse Demons.

These Corpse Demons began to become greedy, as thin as razors, with bones cracked from the cold, living in the high, cold wilderness, grabbing everyone they met and eating them greedily. These creatures had poor autonomy, but their instincts for hunger and killing were undiminished.

The knights found hundreds of round and smooth purple magic pearls on their remains. This was the most powerful life force pearl produced by them maintaining their vitality under the torment of the winds of death.

One of these pearls was worth nearly 20 gold crowns, close to the value of a trainee knight.

And its effect was also very powerful. Like the Dragon Blood Stone, as long as you carry it with you, you can continuously improve your vitality.

The attribute of life is too complicated to be summed up in one word. Just like the Dragon Blood Stone improves a person's physique and body shape, it can speed up the knight's cultivation speed, which is a bit like being able to add strength.

Blessed Wisteria pods can increase the length of life.

And this Ember Pearl, the effect of increasing vitality is similar to increasing the upper limit of health points and durability.

To put it simply, it is to make a knight become thicker-skinned and fleshy, and the blood cow attribute is enhanced.

If an ordinary knight hits him with a stick, he may be directly killed. But a knight with this purple [Ember Pearl], even if a stick hits his neck, he may not even react, and then he will backhand and kill his opponent with a sword.

The effect on Su Li was that he could release the [Windwing Rune] for longer while carrying this magic pearl.

So, Su Li carried 26 of them on his body in one breath, and Ingrid made a pearl bracelet for him to wear on his right hand.

Su Li once tried it with Hilde. After he put on this string of [Passionate Ash Bracelet], Hilde stabbed him with a sword. With the protection of the Mithril Rune Armor, he flew out more than ten meters, but he was not seriously injured, and he jumped up and stood up.

He felt that under well-equipped circumstances, even a champion-level knight would have to spend a lot of effort to assassinate him.

And then, with the blessing of the medical knight, he recovered from his injuries in an instant.

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

Another function of this magic pearl was to spread the blessing effect to the knights of the Medical Knights. Embedded in their scepters and weapons, the single divine arts they cast would become range divine arts, taking effect on the target and up to three surrounding soldiers at the same time.

The effect was a bit similar to a convex mirror, spreading the divine arts降from the gods out in an arc.

This pearl was not weaker than the Dragon Blood Stone in any way, but unlike the Dragon Blood Stone, which could even be worth a thousand gold, the most important regret was that it could not increase the noble's experience in cultivation.

So, it was a very orthodox knight equipment prop, suitable for every elite knight with strong beliefs and pursuits.

And in addition to this precious material, the knights also brought out a large number of witchcraft props and enchanted equipment from the castle.

The largest number was undoubtedly the [Mask of Morl]. Morl's power penetrates the door and shows his existence to your enemies through you, and you will gain the ability to unlock fear.

Su Li had obtained a batch of this death mask before the Battle of the Outpost. Su Li had a detailed understanding of the beneficial effects and negative defects. From the performance on the battlefield, the mask's assistance was very powerful.

Especially when chasing, this effect was particularly obvious. You must know that the Imperial knights always pay special attention to the pursuit of killing with unparalleled mobility advantages. But for this reason, countless knights in the history of the Empire have fallen in the process of pursuit because of light soldiers advancing or reckless carelessness.

Why was Gilles the Beautiful's pursuit and combat ability able to make him stand out and be praised and blessed by the Sun Goddess Violet?

It was because rushing into thousands of defeated soldiers with a small number of troops was an extremely dangerous thing.

Many defeated soldiers collapsed for various reasons, either because of the effect of magical fear, or because of the courage collapse caused by the ravages of the god-chosen knights, or because of the low morale in the front and rear attacks, they were forced to withdraw from the battlefield. But once the effects of various fears disappeared, or a powerful horn inspired their morale, a defeated soldier gradually recovered their courage, and dozens of people launched a counterattack or made a trapped beast fight, then the knights who rushed over rashly were likely to be surrounded by dozens of werewolves or centaurs, which could be said to be a situation where they would die.

But with this Mask of Morl, the defeated troops basically could not recover their morale and courage in front of the pursuers.

It can ensure that the elite knights can pursue boldly and will not encounter any accidents.

Unlike the dozen or so masks last time, this time the knights brought out more than 200 death masks from the castle, enough for some elite troops to reveal this terrible mask under the fine mask.

Another enchanted equipment is one of the most orthodox equipment components for knights, the [Ring of Doom].

This is also the equipment with the largest shortage in the territory. Each knight can equip two rings, but relying solely on Ingrid's production, the territory currently only has more than 50 rings. Even with the rings the knights purchase on the market and those seized on the battlefield, the number of rings will not exceed 80.

The shortage of enchanted rings alone reaches nearly 2,000 pieces.

This time, the knights brought back more than 100 Rings of Doom, greatly alleviating the urgent needs of the territory.

This ring is a product of theMor Church. The effect is that after wearing this ring, when you gaze into the eyes of your target and murmur Mor's elegy, you will see the target's doom and glimpse the future. This is almost always related to the target's death and can only take effect on one target once. Once the target is related to you, you will immediately execute him in a foreseen manner, completing a one-hit kill.

If it is irrelevant, a strong kill will receive Mor's blessing, causing the knight's blood to boil, and power, damage, and speed will be increased to a certain extent.

As one of the most orthodox equipment components of a knight, the ring can obviously directly resonate with the knight's own bloodline.

Looking at its effect in sequence, it is actually quite harsh, and very strict conditions are required to trigger the divine magic effect.

But if it is reversed, that is, looking from the bottom up, this effect is very powerful.

It can basically be understood that killing a monster will make the knight's blood boil, and various attributes will be slightly improved. At the same time, there is a certain probability of triggering a fatal blow.

So, the same thing can always bring different moods as long as you look at it from different perspectives.

Su Li is always very good at regulating his emotions in this regard.

However, this period of recuperation is not always full of such terrible witchcraft props and death-style equipment.

There are also some relaxing and joyful things that make the world a better place. The most attractive thing to Su Li is undoubtedly the Rainbow Waterfall north of Linburg Farm.

This is the new holy site of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn.

Under the guidance of Su Li's intelligence, the Church of Dawn successfully built a large stele here before the vegetation withered.

So, in an earthquake that collapsed half of the buildings in Linburg Farm, this waterfall turned into a beautiful scene.

Now, the huge obelisk wreckage stands on both sides of the waterfall, and the fallen remains are all over the top of the waterfall. The magic-infused water of the Blackwater River reflects eight colors of magic when it pours on the broken stone piles.

After Su Li recovered, he took the ministers of the cabinet to visit here as soon as possible.

The scenery here is more beautiful than Su Li thought. Between the beautiful foothills, the waterfall's water curtain lightly slides down from the mountain stream, like a layer of tulle, gently blown by the breeze, weaving a flowing colorful picture in the sun. Each drop of water is like Shalya's tears, clear and pure. They capture the gentleness of the sun in the process of falling, refracting a faint rainbow, adding a touch of dreaminess to the surrounding greenery.

Under the waterfall, there is also a beautiful gemstone pool full of fantasy, lying quietly, like the eyes of the earth, deep and bright. The pool water is not turbulent, but calm as a mirror, reflecting the blue of the sky and the green of the leaves, as well as the birds that pass by inadvertently. The gemstones at the bottom of the pool, after being washed by the magic water, absorb the essence of nature. They flicker with a soft light under the water, like the stars in the night sky, quietly guarding this tranquility.

The vegetation around the gemstone pool is also particularly vibrant because of the nourishment of the pool water. The flowers bloom by the pool, they bloom in all seasons, and their colors are gorgeous. With their unique gentleness and elegance, they complement the tranquility of the pool water, swaying gently in the breeze, exuding a faint fragrance, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Su Li felt happy when he saw the beautiful scenery and the singing of birds and flowers, as if he was full of vitality.

"PriestFandar, this is your Church of Dawn's second holy site, right?"

Rainbow Waterfall, Starlight Pool, Holy Wisteria Garden, Levulin Lake, Healing Hot Spring, Black Forest Territory also has landmark buildings full of fantasy and beauty.

All of this is undoubtedly the result of Su Li's farming and development, so that every merchant, traveler, ranger knight, and wandering poet who comes to the Black Forest Territory can have a deep impression and beautiful memories when they leave.

When they go to other territories, they will also talk loudly with others in the tavern, talking about the various fantastic sights and beautiful scenery in the Black Forest Territory.

All of this will also form the impression of the Black Forest Territory within the empire. Obviously, the Black Forest Territory already has its own landmarks, images, and scenery.

This is not an ordinary territory that is the same as other territories. Even if there are thousands of kingdom knights, the Black Forest Territory is still the one with a distinctive image and uniqueness.

Fandar said with a smile: "In fact, this is the third holy site of our territory's church. There is also an Emerald Garden, which is the sacred forest summoned by PriestEmond. It has now developed prosperously. It is full of birds and flowers, and a large number of deer, birds, and horses have gathered."

Su Li has an impression of this sacred forest. It was created by the divine magic ability ofEmond, the director of the pastoral garden. It can enhance the abilities of druids and priests of the Church of Dawn, and can also greatly improve the development of animal husbandry.

Su Li asked: "The Emerald Garden is on the plain in the east of the territory, right? Is it easy to defend?"

Fandar spread his hands and said: "Why defend? The Green Dragon is one of the forest creatures, and it and its claws will not destroy this forest. As long as we don't station troops in it, they will never set fire to it."

Su Li forgot about this. He still thought that as long as a war broke out, everything of the other party would be burned.

Then he smiled and looked at the bottom of the Rainbow Waterfall and said: "Then tell me what is going on with this gemstone pool? I remember I didn't mention this."
