Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 174: Chapter 105: Full-scale Explosion of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry (Part 3)

However, this kind of situation is something Su Li might not need to face anytime soon.

With the life-extending effect of the Holy Purple Vine Tree pods, he might just manage to achieve immortality.

Right now, the priority is still to continue strengthening the military power of the territory. Upon hearing Su Li’s idea of equipping the Hesse Forbidden Guard Knights with a Holy Lily Banner, Hilude naturally supported it wholeheartedly.

She said, ”Lord, you should also keep an eye out for information in this regard. Many wandering nobles carry a banner and drift around, seeking sponsorship from other lords.”

But the progress in this area, as Hilude mentioned, still requires time to advance.

While Su Li was contemplating, Hilude teamed up with Lauren to quickly organize the last batch of treasures from the Dragon’s Nest.

Lauren reported, ”There are 11 items left in the Dragon’s Nest treasures, which are invaluable artifacts. Though they cannot directly enhance our military power, they can improve our development speed in various ways, and at the very least, fetch a good price.”

In the Green Dragon’s collection, many items are of great value, and these treasures brought out all possess remarkable functions.

Besides the Dwarven ”Bergman’s Flame Generosity,” there is also the ”Elf’s Wild Hunt Horn.” Once blown, this horn will stir up all hidden animals around, attacking any intruders entering the forest.

The original use of this item is for the Wood Elves in the forest to summon beasts, tree spirits, and forest essences to launch a wild hunt against invaders.

But when the Hunter is strong enough, this becomes an excellent tool for encircling prey. Once the horn is blown, various wild rabbits, forest wolves, wild boars, and even rampaging deer herds will charge in, practically becoming the Hunter’s living targets.

As long as the Hunter doesn’t venture too deep into the forest, they won’t have any safety issues, but the number of animals they hunt will soar several times over. A Hunter could easily come back with hundreds of pounds of game in a day, and if lucky, encountering some precious magical beasts like Fire Rabbits, Wind Language Deer, and Thunderbirds could bring in harvests worth tens or even hundreds of Golden Crowns.

Of course, among these 11 treasures, more are Dwarven and Elf crafts, which if sold to Marle Castle, would yield excellent profits.

This expedition to the Dragon’s Nest might bring back wealth for the Hesse Territory worth no less than 50,000 Golden Crowns, which is several times more than all the fortune Su Li had previously acquired, and this isn’t even counting the value of the Ancient Dwarven Relics.

So, Su Li held a grand banquet to honor these several heroes and then ordered the blacksmiths to fully focus on using the Moon Crown Tree Flower to forge enchanted weapons more effective against demon damage. He hopes that before the decisive battle against the Demon Army, the territory can have hundreds more weapons with special attacks against demons.

After the banquet, Su Li eagerly took Hilude back to the bedroom.

After being apart for so long, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and Su Li and Hilude embarked on a very passionate knight’s practice.

Hilude was also very engaging; a woman who loves you can’t help but want to have intimate communication with you.

To them, this is also the most joyful and intimacy-deepening way. How could they resist? It’s simply as sweet as honey.

And on the night when Su Li and the courtiers were diligently practicing, outside in the courtyard, the Moon Crown Tree was in full bloom, and all kinds of spirit plants around it were flourishing at a pace visible to the naked eye. The Calming Flowers in the flower field blossomed piece by piece, and the Lion’s Mane Mushroom grew densely, its roots continuously expanding.

Su Li and Hilude both severely underestimated the effect of this Spirit Tree. As it flourished in growth, the prosperity and flourishing effects it brought to the territory were comprehensive, far beyond just that of the military.

The first to be affected was the territory’s agriculture. Its full blooms on the branches caused many fantastical species to begin nurturing throughout the fertile lands of Hesse Territory.

In the hilly valleys, on the highland cliffs, by the field ridges, and even near many ancient trees, new vitality is sprouting.

Ingrid, as the Forest Witch, was the first to feel all of this, and this feeling was so distinct!

In her magical garden, various spiritual energies were slowly bubbling up underground like spring wells, indicating that some precious spirit plant was about to be born.

Especially in the dense clover patch under the Holy Purple Vine Tree, mysterious, deep spiritual energy lights flashed occasionally. In this profoundly silent night, some seeds broke through their shells and began to sprout gently. The sound of tender shoots growing in the soil was so pleasant and clear.

Even in her treehouse, due to the exceptionally abundant spiritual energy, a few flowers suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Then, the changes were felt by the veterinarians on the ranch. In the stables where they were treating, racehorses that had been lying sick and weak suddenly seemed as if their illness unraveled like pulling a thread. In less than a night’s time, the weak racehorses appeared to be blessed and could even stand up from the ground.

The early-morning milking workers were pleasantly surprised to find that the milk production of the cows had significantly increased. Previously, one cow could barely produce two full buckets of milk.

However, today not only did they fill two large wooden buckets to the brim, the newly brought third bucket even filled up to a finger’s depth at the bottom.

The milk workers talked amongst themselves and found out that not only had the production of one cow increased, but the productivity of all cows, sheep, and mares on the entire ranch had improved to varying degrees.

The grass-cutting workers swore it was entirely due to the more sumptuous quality of the grass they returned with, providing the livestock with richer nutrients, thereby resulting in higher yields.

This statement was initially not believed by the ranch manager, but when he walked into the feed room and chewed a bit of the new grass, he couldn’t help but brighten his eyes and acknowledged the claim that even the territories’ fodder has become more tender and juicy.
