Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 608: Chapter 35: New Intelligence · Explosive Strength, Opportunities Abound

[5: Foundation of White Castle: To the west of your territory, 1600 imperial miles away, on the Tasir Plateau, there’s an Empire engineering team from the Imperial Engineering College seeking opportunities to showcase their skills. They will only accept one employment in the Border Prince’s Territory. No noble has offered to hire them yet, as their price is exceptionally high. If you can straightforwardly pay them 10,000 Golden Crowns, they will construct a vast [White Castle] on your territory’s Bloody Highlands, which will be your most crucial forward fortress and core stronghold for further expansion to the north.]

[6: The Missing Knight and the Ancient Mission. On the northern side of the Shadow Forest, southwest of the Tasir Plateau, you’ll find a village on the brink of bankruptcy. The population is dwindling, and the houses are in disrepair. However, if you arrive on a full moon night, you will witness a golden beam of light emanating from the village’s only Sun Goddess Monastery. This is because a deceased knight inside still bears the goddess’s favor and uses his last life energy to resist the encroaching dark forces. By helping him fulfill his wish to clear the Shadow Forest of the [Bone Speaker Order], you will receive a Holy Relic of Glory: the Eternal Shield from his remains.]

[7: The Strange Beast Tamer and the Mysterious Book. If you halt with your large attendant guard on the Twisted Oak Path on the west of the Shadow Forest for 2 hours, a hidden beast tamer will block your way, claiming to have tamed a talking fox. If you say no to his offer to see it, you’ll anger him and be cursed, unable to take flight around the Twisted Oak Path, and will continually suffer attacks from tree demons. If you say yes, you will obtain the ”Song of the Beast Speaker.” If readers can grasp it within three hours, they’ll gain the ability to communicate with animals. Otherwise, they must help him with a task to drive away the Beastmen Warband in the woods. (Do not attempt to refuse, as a spell hidden in the book will curse the reader into a fox!)

[8: On the northwestern mountains of the Tasir Plateau, there is an Akendunff Castle. Inside, numerous enchanted souls are trapped in the church and cannot find peace. If you can dispatch a powerful priest to bring them peace, these freed souls will reward you with a former lord’s collection from the ancient castle: Ainir’s Magic Net, which can firmly bind the evil vampire and make her body exceptionally sensitive.

[9: 1800 kilometers downstream of the Brionne River is a bridge spanning this majestic river, though it’s broken, and a wizard clad in beast skins sits at its gap. He’s been fishing here for years, waiting for a Storm Dragon Head Eel. If you can bring him one, he will reward you with a cup of [Water of Magic]. For several hours after drinking it, the drinker will see and communicate with essence souls. Contact with these essence souls often leads to personal adventurous expeditions or ambitious achievements. Even the minimum rewards after all this won’t go below a [Rare Level Item]!

[10: There be dragons here! Residents near the Green Moss Swamp have long shared stories of a giant dragon overseeing the west’s desolate swamp from the hills. The lord of the Baron’s Territory, Litaner, found these records in a library about a red dragon settled in the dragon cave of the Dusk Fissure. He seeks to establish his dominance over this area by taming the Red Dragon, Drake. Demster Niseg, the Divine Chosen of Mole, God of Watcher of Death, accepted this commission but clearly underestimated the red dragon’s power. This high-tier Divine Chosen level dragon is far beyond what he, a middle-tier Chosen One, can handle. He has already battled the green dragon for three days and nights. If you can assist him, rescuing him from the brink of death, he will owe you a life-debt. With this as leverage, demanding three years of service in your territory from him is absolutely achievable!

After reading the last piece of glittering intelligence, Su Li instantly felt invigorated, sweeping away his laziness, and suddenly embracing Freya, he sat up from the bed.

Freya, who was leaning against the headboard, was suddenly lifted by him, exclaiming in surprise as she reclined into his arms and asked, ”Honey, what’s wrong?”

Su Li laughed excitedly and lowered his head to forcefully kiss Freya’s moist cherry lips: ”Hahaha, indeed, only with a wider activity range can there be greater opportunities!”

What did he see?!!!

A Divine Chosen Knight, no less!

The intelligence actually revealed a path for him to recruit a Divine Chosen Knight.

Today’s information was indeed too powerful!

It was likely because Su Li had been cooped up in the territory for too long, gathering a lot of opportunities around him, so this first outing resulted in an explosive revelation of them all at once.

Even though this knight wasn’t serving Su Li but was instead serving in the territory for three years, Su Li didn’t care about this slight difference.

Not to mention so many opportunities and treasures in the territory, whether he would even leave after coming.

Just his arrival, in terms of enhancing combat power, would stabilize the territory through three years, and the value of that was incomparable!

Give Su Li three years of stable development time, and wouldn’t the territory experience rapid changes and a soaring strength?

Perhaps three years later, Hesse Territory wouldn’t care much about a Divine Chosen Knight’s comings or goings. If he continued to stay, Su Li would certainly be happy. If he insisted on leaving, the impact on the territory’s strength wouldn’t be too significant either.

However, this mindset is for three years later. At present, a Divine Chosen Knight’s addition significantly boosts the territory’s strength.

Moreover, his arrival is precisely what the Grey Rock Tribe needs to purify their Holy Land; otherwise, Su Li could only send an elite-level Mole Knight to lead the Armed Attendants Camp to purify the dwarves’ Ancestral Holy Tomb. The success rate would be much lower, and if the purification failed, being misunderstood by the dwarves as disturbing their ancestors’ peace wouldn’t be good.

Elves have poor temperaments, and dwarves have equally bad tempers, with very few able to get along harmoniously with them.

Apart from these two opportunities, there are also many other adventures along the way.

From the simplest, requiring only the delivery of a Storm Dragon Head Eel to gain [Water of Magic], to slightly more challenging tasks needing the pacifying of the Evil Battle Group to earn the [Holy Relic of Glory: Eternal Shield], to the most difficult beast tamer challenge.

This journey truly maximized various encounters, essentially unleashing a year’s worth of accumulated adventures all at once.

Causing rare level treasures and Holy Relics to seem so commonplace amidst the abundant adventures!

Su Li laughed heartily to express his sentiments and then said, ”Truly, one cannot become too reclusive; benefits will keep diminishing. It’s necessary to go for a walk once or twice a year.”

Freya pressed down on his restless hands on her chest and said, ”I still hope you can expand the territory’s scale, so with a broader domain, opportunities would be just as ample, without the need to travel.”

Also reasonable!

Su Li pondered for a bit and said, ”After returning from Marle Castle, after this harvest season, we can consider simultaneously expanding our forces outward.”

Currently, his forces have expanded 1500 leagues eastward into the Blood Pine Forest, opening new land, and another White Castle is set to be constructed on the Bloody Highlands to control the expansive Northern Highlands.

Then he could consider another wave of expansion westward or southward.

Ingrid placed a brand new Destiny Talisman on Su Li and then, hugging his arm, said, ”Outside travel is not like within the territory. Try to avoid too much risk; we await your early return.

Su Li patted her head, smiled, and said, ”Don’t worry; it’s just a simple trip out, and I’ll be back soon. I promise a cycle, at most not exceeding half a month, and will definitely return in time. And also bring gifts for you all.”

After spending over ten minutes comforting them, Su Li hastily had a bit of breakfast and left for the gathering point.

Elf Silvana, already calmly waiting here with her giant eagle, smiled elegantly upon seeing Su Li, and said, ”Lord, you’re quite punctual. I thought you might spend more time with your courtiers.” ”Su Li leaped onto the back of Death’s Claw, waved, and said, ”I don’t like being late. Now that everyone is here, let’s set off immediately.”

Upon his order, the griffins spread their wings from the spacious terrace above the castle, soaring into the sky.
