Warm Dragon

Riding the unicorn Baoli back to his territory, Black-rumped Snake Manor, Russell really took advantage of the horse's momentum to gain momentum.

The snow-white unicorn, with its four hooves making wind, galloped in the air, its strength soaring to the extreme. It is estimated that the Dragon Knight can overshadow Russell's Unicorn Knight at the moment.

certainly.

He is indeed handsome, but his domineering level is slightly reduced.

The main reason is that Baoli is too beautiful and Russell is too handsome. As a result, one person and one rider are too elegant and lack the ferocity and domineeringness that a knight should have.

This is also a helpless matter. It is not so easy to have both fish and bear's paw - unless you go to ride a dragon.

"Sir, congratulations on getting another phantom beast. The Grand Duke's dragon must be watching you all the time!" Charles ran over in a hurry and flattered Russell with all sincerity. Very flattering.

Unicorn Paulie was not so enthusiastic about everything around her. Instead, she quickly fell in love with the bamboo forest near the cigar compound.

In this short half month of growth, the bamboo cordyceps have more than tripled in size, and now it is really a bamboo forest with only one tree.

Russell turned his head, looked at Baoli who was walking leisurely in the bamboo forest, and smiled slightly: "Praise the dragon, thank the dragon."

Charles also prayed: "Praise the dragon, thank the dragon."

"Teacher Charles, have all the serfs sent over last night been arranged?" Russell asked. During this serf trade, he bought a total of 1,200 serfs.

There were 500 male and female serfs each, and among the remaining 200 serfs, there were some children and some serf technicians.

In addition, there are Howles and Big Bear Grove, more than a hundred free people recruited in the cave.

The total population is close to 1,400, and after several rectifications, the Black-loisted Snake Manor only had a population of over 4,000. It can be said that this serf trade directly increased the manor's population by as much as one-third.

Charles calmed down his expression and responded seriously: "Sir, the arrangements have almost been made. After the thunder beast pulling team arrived last night, I first placed the serfs in the small market for camping, and then summoned the village chiefs and serf stewards to come. Claim the serfs.”

At present, there are seven villages in Wuyao Snake Manor, including Market Village, Potion Village, Diku Village, Damai Village, Wheat Village, Alfalfa Village and Lentil Village.

There was no plan to divide new villages, but to arrange these serfs into various villages for digestion and absorption.

"Seven villages, my lord, each village will add 200 serfs, just enough to absorb the 1,400 people." Charles said, "The temporary housing and uncultivated wasteland in each village have also been divided. This group of The serfs can start farming after just two days of rest.”

"Can we still farm this year?" Russell frowned. It was already the end of November.

"The warm season and ice age have indeed been somewhat unstable in recent years, but I speculate that this year's warm season may last until the end of December, and there is still some time to replant wheat. When the ice age comes, wheat will not die. When the ice age passes next year , the wheat will grow wildly.”

Usually starting from November to March of the following year, it is the ice age.

April to October is the warm season.

But this is different from the changes in the four seasons such as spring, summer, autumn and winter. It is not fixed. It is a confrontation between the power of the snow demon and the power of the dragon. Therefore, sometimes the warm season is longer, and sometimes the ice period is longer. The ice period and the warm season The length of time will also vary.

For example, this year, April, when Russell just passed through, was still in the ice age, and the warm season had just begun in May.

"As long as we can replant." Russell nodded and asked, "Is there enough food?"

"We may have to continue to purchase a batch of grain for storage."

"Then buy it. While the warm season is still here, buy more grain to stockpile. In addition, the living supplies for the new serfs must be provided as soon as possible to help them integrate into the life of the territory as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty is kind, and the serfs will definitely be grateful to you." Charles responded while flattering him, "I will purchase a batch of farm tools, as well as warm quilts and clothes as soon as possible and distribute them to the serfs."

"Um."

Russell was still very satisfied with the general affairs handled by Charles, and most of them could be implemented according to his will.

He suddenly thought of something again and said: "I plan to arrange for Grove to serve as the knight commander of my manor guard, and Eric will become the knight commander of the territorial patrol. Of course, the position of chief of security remains unchanged."

Charles asked, "Can Grove be trusted?"

"Let's take a look first, and he has sworn allegiance to me. The most important thing is that he is not a costumed knight, but a great knight."

"Ah, that big stupid bear is actually a great knight?"

"It can be seen that he is still talented, and he is not too old. He is not yet thirty-five years old. He may have a chance to be promoted to the Phantom Beast Knight." Russell said.

Charles suddenly said with a sour tone: "My lord, you must carefully choose the contract partner for the fantasy beasts."

"Don't worry." Russell smiled.

"I have another happy event that I want to report to you, sir. Katie has re-cultivated Dou Qi and completely penetrated the main meridians of her arm!" Charles' tone became excited. "When she practiced the Ranger route before, she had penetrated six groups of main meridians. Meridians, now that the fighting spirit has been successfully restored, there is hope for the great knight!”

"Really? Go call Katie over and let me check on her condition." Russell said happily.

Charles nodded repeatedly and asked with a shy face: "Sir, you have gained a lot this time. Are you going to hold a banquet at noon?"

"Haven't you seen the cigar courtyard clanging all day? The luncheon won't be held. We'll have a barbecue buffet on the lawn in the evening."

"Okay, I'll go call Katie over first."

After Charles left, Russell walked into the bamboo forest.

The unicorn Polly was already lying on the ground, enjoying the leisure of the breeze in the bamboo forest, especially the rustling sound of the bamboo leaves being blown by the wind, which made it a little intoxicated.

"Is it much more comfortable here than life in the snowfield?" Russell sat down and leaned on Polly's belly.

"Hmph."

"But you can't eat bamboo. The bamboo here is a complete Cordyceps sinensis." At this point, Russell suddenly wanted to do something.

He had previously strolled around Windrage City and wanted to buy some bamboo rice to plant, but he didn't buy any.

Bamboo is relatively rare in the Shadowflame Duchy, and I don't know where to buy bamboo rice, so if I want to cultivate a bamboo forest potion, there is no way for the time being.

However, considering the strong vitality of bamboo, he planned to try to see if he could do something with the Cordyceps itself.

He did it right away.

He found a few bamboos at the edge of the bamboo forest and asked people to come and cut off the bamboo whips at the roots of these bamboos.

In this way, these bamboos were disconnected from the entire Cordyceps.

"Although the connection is broken, these bamboos still have roots and should continue to grow." Russell thought.

If they can grow, it means that the bamboo forest magic potion can be cultivated in this way. These magic potion bamboos may be a little difficult to make magic potions, but they will be very important magic materials in the future.

Whether it is making bamboo paper or using it as building materials, it can play an important role.

At this moment, Katie rode a horse to the cigar courtyard, walked quickly into the bamboo forest, and bowed to Russell: "My lord."

"Katie, you are here." Russell was observing the bamboos and did not find that the bamboos were wilting, so he was in a good mood. "Charles said that you succeeded in re-cultivating your fighting spirit. This is a happy event. Stretch out your hand and I will help you check it."

"Yes." Katie stretched out her arm.

Russell grabbed her wrist, and the fighting spirit quickly pierced into the meridians of Katie's arm, and then sensed it.

Then his eyes lit up: "Yes, the main meridians expanded this time are quite solid. The remaining groups of main meridians must be excavated in this way, so that there is hope to be promoted to a great knight."

Katie nodded deeply: "If it weren't for your respect, I would not have succeeded at all. Katie will remember your kindness in re-creating me!"

Russell smiled and said, "I just helped a little. What really determines your future is your own determination."
