Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 695: Chapter 59: Mother Earth’s Holy Pool and the Dawn Pastoral Rite (Part 4)

Of course, this kind of tax revenue will clearly be beneficial for the expansion of their Dawn Goddess Church. It means that, besides striving for donations, they have a second important source of church income.

With 5% of the grain revenue, even if they only take out 1% for their church’s operations and maintenance expenses, it can bring the church hundreds of Golden Crowns in earnings each year.

However, considering that the Dawn Goddess Church has little desire to interfere in urban affairs and is not known for its military prowess, making its threat level rather low, Su Li thought for a moment and said, ”I will have Dean Oliver review this ritual, and if things go smoothly, within this cycle, we will mobilize the entire territory’s power and begin executing this ritual.”

Vandar beamed with delight and immediately said excitedly, ”Then, on behalf of all the believers of the Dawn Church, I sincerely thank the Lord for your generosity and grace.”

Su Li nodded and then, accompanied by his guards, arrived at the Sun Bee’s nest.

The Sun Bee’s hive is vastly different from those ordinary hives in Luoteng Canyon. Its theme is very much in the style of the Fiery Sun Goddess, structured as a twelve-pointed star prism, its surface covered with Molten Gold Bee Wax, emitting a blazing white aura day and night.

The hive coexists with the Rose Star Dew fruit trees, capable of releasing a large number of Sun Bees to repel goblins, and even the powerful Sun Bees can pierce Beastman Iron Armor.

Even more amazing is that this hive can dynamically grow with seasonal changes. Upon seeing this hive, Su Li was astonished and asked the Druid responsible for its care, ”Has this hive gotten bigger? I remember it was less than 1 meter the last time I checked. It must be 3 meters now?”

The caretaker here is not an ordinary nun, but one of the few Druids belonging to the Order of the Tree of Life in the Dawn Church, Lady Eludrin Mossshadow, the only female Druid in the Dawn Church.

This is quite rare, as the Druids Su Li has seen are all bearded elders, with only this Druid being a wrinkled female elder.

However, despite being female, she is equally powerful. As a member of the Order of the Tree of Life, she, like the others in the order, is primarily responsible for cultivating the territory’s extraordinary plants. For instance, their head, Elite Level Sister Isabella, primarily takes care of the Holy Purple Vine in the Fantasy Garden, while other nuns are responsible for maintaining the Extraordinary Ears, and promoting extraordinary plants like spices, herbs, and Purple Crystal Grapes.

If Su Li were to inspect the territory’s specialties today, there’s a high chance he would be dealing with their order.

Su Li has impressions of their order; Vandar mentioned during a report on the scale of the Dawn Church that their order has 2 elite nuns, 1 Druid, 3 full nuns, and 4 novice nuns.

Yet now, Su Li saw more than 3 novice nuns using divine magic in the orchard to care for the transplanted fruit trees, providing them with abundant Jilun magic power so the branches can grow more robustly.

Clearly, their order has seen some expansion in size.

This aligns with Su Li’s initial instructions, where he required the order’s scale to increase by at least 2 to 3 times.

Lady Eludrin, being well-versed with the situation here, said to Su Li, ”These Sun Bees with their gold-edged wings are indeed very amazing. The hives they construct will change with the seasons. At the beginning of spring, the diameter is estimated to be only about 1 meter. But by the time autumn sets in, they will keep expanding, reaching around 5 meters. Once the vegetation withers, they will gradually contract to the core area to hibernate through the winter.”

Su Li nodded in surprise, always feeling that these extraordinary creatures might not be of this world, perhaps brought back by the Fiery Sun Goddess from the Beast Realm or some insect race domain.

He asked, ”How is the production from these Sun Bees?”

Eludrin replied immediately, ”It’s truly remarkable. We have yielded some crucial Legendary Level materials. The Provincial Affairs Council has already documented them, and I’ve heard Dean Oliver has a very grand plan regarding this, possibly affecting the entire territory!”
