Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 949: Chapter 126: Expansion of the Silver Armored Shrimp Population (Part 2)

”It’s the rich Wind of Jilun. Witch Moon is related to eight kinds of Wind of Magic, and the Star Dew Begonia Fruit absorbs the rich Wind of Jilun. This will lead to an increased survival rate for trees grafted onto it, or those it’s grafted onto, and they will develop relatively faster.”

”Of course, since it is not an Extraordinary Spirit Tree, the powerful effects of the Wind of Jilun are not as strong as the Holy Purple Vine Tree. Only when there is a large number of Star Dew Begonia Fruits will the growth speed of the surrounding fruit trees be slightly accelerated.”

With a slight enhancement, that ability won’t have an immediate effect. However, it can still increase the orchard’s yield, which Su Li does not mind.

Then Su Li looked down at the dam, where a continuous stretch of fruit trees had already been planted. This patch of fruit trees will extend more than thirty miles along the south bank of the dam, not only increasing yield but also reinforcing the dam, while making the scenery extremely beautiful.

Su Li then said, ”I am not worried about grain yield and farmland. You need to further focus on the breeding situation of various orchards and Spirit Plants. How are the results in this area?”

Vandar immediately said, ”Then I will invite Lord to inspect the Maiden’s Ring.”

The Maiden’s Ring is currently the largest Holy Land of their Dawn Goddess Church. Because Reya does not emphasize grand temples, this Holy Land can essentially be regarded as a center of faith and religious sanctuary for the whole region akin to the Sun Goddess Church’s Eternal Flame Cathedral.

When Su Li and Vandar walked up the path of the Maiden’s Ring, they found that around this Holy Land, a large number of cultivators from the Dawn Goddess Church had rushed from surrounding villages and territories, worshiping the Holy Land and offering sacrifices.

Of course, Su Li could easily tell they came from different territories, because there were very obvious reasons—their clothing style was clearly different from that of Hesse Territory.

The magic robe of the Reya Church is basically selected by individual priestesses, and the church doesn’t impose many restrictions on the attire of priests.

Generally, the priestesses prefer brown and green fabrics made of coarse fibers or linen decorated with floral or fruit embroidery. In cold weather, they wear fur-lined sheepskin for warmth. A priestess may carry a staff as a symbol of her office, often carved in the shape of an ear of corn.

During ceremonies, a priestess may wear a crown of barley to imitate their goddess, although some insist that they must greet their goddess unclothed, making all sorts of excuses to strip off their clothes.

However, generally in Hesse Territory, priestesses wear green linen robes. It’s an open secret that Lord prefers the cool forest nun style.

Lord believes that azure and green make women appear fairer, cooler, and more charming.

The saying goes, ”Azure is your collar, and my heart longs for you.” There’s a broad consensus in Hesse Territory that from the lord down to the common folk, everyone agrees that azure robes are a symbol of beauty and nobility.

Therefore, for evangelization, whether they like it or not, the priestesses of Hesse Territory wear azure robes, and those with better conditions even pair them with beautiful stockings.

This causes the visiting priests to this Maiden’s Ring to be easily distinguished by those working in the fields, who can tell who are the outsiders at a glance.

Su Li walked along the picturesque path, feeling the mist and the coolness stirred up by the waterwheel, and curiously asked, ”Are there many outsiders visiting this Holy Land every day?”

Vandar nodded and said, ”Quite a few. As you know, the cultivators of the Dawn Church are not known for their combat prowess, so usually the priests of the Dawn Goddess Church who come to worship arrive by carriage. Seldom do one or two priests or nuns arrive alone. As a result, every time worshippers arrive, after our persuasion, a few nuns usually stay to contribute to the spread of the Dawn Goddess in our territory.”

Hesse Territory is currently also in great need of nuns from the Dawn Goddess Church. After all, so many villages, strongholds have increased, and there are so many Fantasy Spirit Plants that need care.

Upon reaching the top platform of the Maiden’s Ring, Su Li’s eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, ”The scenery on top of your Maiden’s Ring is so beautiful that it doesn’t even look like it belongs to this world.”

The Dawn Goddess Church certainly leans more towards rural and pastoral life. On the platform of the Maiden’s Ring, besides a low, modest monastery, there are a large number of pear and apple trees. They are planted in the monastery’s courtyard, these dozens of trees are neatly planted, at the end of their flowering period, with their beautiful blossoms scattering in the wind, white and pink petals drifting gently, a scene so breathtakingly beautiful it captures the heart.

Vandar smiled and explained, ”These are what we bought from the market through your information, the Star Dew Roses and prickly pear trees, they are all in good condition and very suitable for grafting, so we quickly expanded the Holy Land garden.”

Su Li raised an eyebrow and said, ”I remember last time the focus of the information was the Star Dew Sweet Orange, wasn’t it?”

The most valuable item at that stall was the Star Dew Sweet Orange kind of Spirit Plant, while the Star Dew Roses, prickly pear trees, and others were just accompaniments.

Vandar then led Su Li to the purple Spirit Field in the middle of their monastery, pointing to the Sweet Orange blooming alone at the top right corner of the Spirit Field and said, ”We have carefully transferred this Star Dew Sweet Orange here. We have reached an agreement with Lady Ingrid, all the output from this Star Dew Sweet Orange belongs to her. At the same time, we also have to compensate her with 5 portions of Breath of Harvest each month and 10 jin of Rainbow Silk each quarter to take care of this Star Dew Sweet Orange.”
