Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 487: Chapter 2: New Intelligence and the Joyful Life of a Lord

[9: The wandering dwarf engineer can build an [Earth Vein Furnace]. In the northeastern direction of the territory, near the Gray Mountain Range, a group of exiled Gnomish Anvil Clan appeared. They can use ancestral techniques to build an underground forge, refining ordinary iron ore into [Star Iron]. As everyone knows, this is one of the most important raw materials for forging plate armor in this world, renowned in the old world for its extremely high durability. This can greatly increase the output of your territory’s Vibranium Rune Armor. By accepting them, you may incur diplomatic conflicts with the dwarf Kadek Clan.]

[10: A convoy of refugees carrying [Holy Sanctuary Knight Relics] has arrived at the border. 300 escaped serfs from the Imperial Angnis Territory have reached the Border Prince’s Territory. Among them, a stubborn young boy carries a relic, a finger bone of the Holy Sanctuary Knight, the Unfeeling One, Odo de Paragon. In his hands, it’s just a useless bone. Collect it back, as mentioned on the [First Volume Title Page of the Imperial Agricultural Festival]: ”Soil and lineage are equally sacred, where wheat waves surge, therein lies the knight’s glory!” Have the priest of the Sun Goddess Church pray for this finger bone and then bury it in a wheat field. The divine bloodline will permanently enhance the fertility of the land, turning it into rich black soil, at least doubling the wheat field’s yield.]

In the dining room, Philis was radiant. She held her stomach, and the child was now pulsating, with less than three months until birth. Her bright face exuded more and more maternal brilliance.

This life was so perfect she could hardly believe it. The war was over, the Sword of Damocles hanging overhead had vanished, and the territory could now rest and recuperate. Her husband spent each day happily beside her; she was carefree, only needing to prepare exquisite meals every day.

This blissful and relaxed life felt like a dream throughout the month, and she feared someone would wake her from this beautiful dream.

Seeing Su Li buttoning up as he walked down the stairs, she immediately smiled: ”Lord, you went to bed very late last night and exercised for a long time. You must be a bit hungry. Come quickly for breakfast; I’ve carefully prepared many of your favorite foods for you.”

”There’s your favorite herb milk fruit tea, infused with vanilla pods and orange in heated milk, garnished with mint leaves for a refreshing taste. Additionally, there are the signature adventurer pancakes from Half-Elves, Marle Castle’s specialty pork sausages, forest roast meat, honey bread rolls, cheese, and seasonal fruit and vegetable platters. Moreover, I also made my specialty, aromatic venison and caviar with peppered prawns.”

Listening to the sumptuous lineup of delicacies Philis listed, Su Li felt his appetite surge. After all that exercise, and so vigorously, his stomach was indeed a bit hungry.

He sat down in the chair Philis had pulled out for him, took a deep breath of the aroma wafting from the table full of delectable dishes, and then smiled and praised: ”Philis, your arrangements are becoming more and more perfect, as if you know me inside out. No, you understand what I like even better than I do.”

Saying this, he forked a piece of the crispy yet tender venison into his mouth, and as he bit down, the rich and warm juices burst in his mouth. He felt enveloped in warmth, his soul luxuriating as if it were sighing in pleasure.

”Ah~ Philis, this is what life is about!” he said as his hand crept into Philis’s skirt, caressing her warm, beautiful leg, then rested his head on her round belly, attentively listening to the pulse of new life.

Philis’s eyes curved happily as she gently stroked Su Li’s head resting on her stomach. After he got up, she sweetly brought a cup of hot milk to his lips, saying, ”Lord, warm your stomach a bit first, don’t dive straight into so much meat.”

Su Li nodded with a smile, tipped his head back, and drank half a cup of milk, then said, ”I heard the little one’s heartbeat, very strong, and quite restless inside. Could it be that it wants milk already?”

Philis laughed and said, ”Lord, how could that be? The baby hasn’t been born yet, how could it want milk already?”

”Who says? Such a big baby must already have its own consciousness, right?” Su Li also smiled happily. Despite having lived two lives, this was his first time becoming a father. He laughed and said, ”You should eat more too, to feed the little one well. I hope that when it’s born, it will be a strong little knight.”

”A strong knight?” Philis asked a bit worriedly, ”Lord, do you prefer boys more?”

Su Li decisively waved his hand and said, ”Not at all! I like both boys and girls. If I must choose, I prefer girls as they’re more attentive and adorable.”

Hearing Su Li say so, Philis smiled happily again and asked, ”Then, Lord, have you thought of a name for the child?”

Name?

Su Li paused the fork heading to his mouth and took a big bite of the aromatic venison, musing, ”I really am terrible at naming. Let me think, if it’s a girl, call her Luna. If it’s a boy, call him Sven; that’s a big, bold name!”

Sven is quite similar to Strong, considering names akin to Strong, Tiger, and the like, after all, a crude name is supposedly easier to raise.

Philis immediately understood that the Lord was indeed terrible at naming. Though she didn’t know what made the name Sven so ”big and bold,” she could feel the Lord’s eyes sparkle with laughter as he mentioned the name.
