Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 130: Chapter 71: Elf Handmaiden

On the display platform, there are six Elite Level Transcendents, including four Knights from the Hospital Knight Order and one Elite Knight captured by the Slave Capture Team on the way. This Knight was sold to Su Li at a friendly price of 200 Golden Crowns by Master Kote.

This transaction is indeed profitable for Su Li because this Elite Knight’s strength is not ordinary, having reached the level of High Tier Elite Knight.

Although there is still a bit of distance from the state of perfection of a High Tier Elite Knight, regardless, he is only one step away from becoming a Champion Knight.

If Su Li could obtain some important breakthrough opportunity from Daily Intelligence, he might successfully break through to Champion Level like Jerald.

This is the most important reason why so many knights leave their hometown and follow Su Li to the Border Prince’s Territory.

To seek breakthrough opportunities, many knights are willing to sacrifice everything. Even with a one in ten thousand chance to break through to Champion Knight, knights are willing to risk their lives.

Without guidance from Su Li, most knights would never have the chance to break through to Champion Level.

For Elite Knights, it is the highest achievement of a lifetime for most knights. Countless High Tier Elite Knights are stuck at this level, one step away from Champion Knight, yet as distant as the ends of the earth, hopeless for life.

Actually, even Su Li couldn’t guarantee that this High Tier Elite Knight could break through to Champion Level; even someone as strong as Oerstein lingered at the threshold of breakthrough for nearly ten years.

Therefore, Master Kote didn’t particularly care about this High Tier Elite Knight, but focused on the last Transcendent and introduced to Su Li: ”The last one with war paint on her face and pointed ears is an Elf.”

”Don’t underestimate her. She is a servant of Tal and a powerful War Dancer. If you can find her a Giant Shepherd Deer, you will gain a powerful Giant Shepherd Deer Knight, equivalent to a human Griffin Knight of powerful Monster Cavalry!”

Giant Shepherd Deer, Su Li certainly knows, it is the Holy Beast of the Wilderness God Tal. They are gigantic, with high-hung antlers, yet can run unhindered through the densest shrubbery. The Elves claim that the forest makes way for Tal himself.

An ancient story passed down within Tal’s priesthood shows that Tal was deeply impressed by the Essence Soul of the first Giant Buck, thus granting them gigantic horns to match Tal’s Horn.

It is said that these Holy Beasts can survive with just water, harboring a deep hatred for serpents, they will go to all lengths to kill them, even ignoring other threats while doing so.

Su Li doesn’t need much detailed information about them because these giants are as fierce and rare as Griffins.

Su Li once acquired a corpse of a Giant Shepherd Deer, weighing over a thousand pounds, just to know how large they are. Taming such a wild beast is no less challenging than taming a Griffin.

Therefore, Su Li didn’t particularly care about the grand plan for Giant Shepherd Deer Knights but instead asked: ”What kind of Transcendent profession is Tal’s maidservant?”

”Just an Elf maidservant, considered clergy of Tal Church. This Elf maidservant can use Tal’s Foot Binding Technique to summon a green web at the Summoning Land and bind targets.”

”This tactic works well in Elf and Dwarf armies, having miraculous effects on beheading Green Skins and Beastmen. These rash big guys rush to the forefront of the army, but when bound by Foot Binding Technique and then focused on by bows and firearms, a powerful monster can be quickly killed instantly.”

Su Li smiled, as his view on Tal was indeed correct!

This guy plays it really wild, his clergy are his maidservants.

In Mole’s faith, there are two kinds of divine magic. One is called [Dream Information], the user can appear in a target’s dream and send a message not exceeding 30 seconds. The recipient must be someone the user has personally met, must speak a common language, and must be asleep during the spell.

The other divine magic is called [Enlightenment Dream], his followers receive a dream about a specific action Mole wants you to take. Dreams are always clear but never complete. The dream usually shows you at a specific time, place, performing a specific action, you somehow know the name, location, and exact date of this place, even if these details are not obvious from the dream. According to doctrine, followers must go to these places to complete the dream’s content.

Su Li wonders if Tal’s faith also has similar divine magic, and if so, given Tal’s wild nature, wouldn’t it be numerous erotic dreams? He could have all maidservants be pestered one by one.

This made Su Li feel heroic and exclaimed, substitute it for me!

If Su Li becomes a Divine Spirit, he would be such a wild Divine Spirit!

But this is just a random thought, too far away to reach. Then he spent three hundred Golden Crowns to buy this Elf named Lunadeshan Cuiye.

Let her organize tomorrow’s Summer Solstice celebration with Vandar.

Apart from these six elites, the remaining Transcendents also have considerable value. As Su Li accurately guessed, there are eleven knights from the Hospital Knight Order among them. Although they haven’t obtained divine magic yet, their future potential looks promising.

Shalya and Violet are a pair of sisters whose churches can coexist. So even though the primary deity worshiped in the territory is the Fiery Sun Goddess Violet, a Monastery dedicated to the Goddess of Life can also be built next to hers.

Whether the knights of the Hospital Knight Order are strong in battle is hard to say, but they have unparalleled advantages in missionary work. Every Elite Knight is a qualified missionary priest.

Then their grand Monastery can also serve as the most comprehensive hospital in the territory, significantly reducing diseases and injuries within the territory.

Additionally, there is a full-fledged nun from the Dawn Church inside, along with two novice nuns.

The Dawn Goddess Reya is an exceptionally generous divine spirit. Her clergy can receive divine magic at the formal stage, which greatly aids in the development of the territory.

Due to the presence of divine power in this world, the operation of society is markedly different from that on Earth.

That is, having a large number of clergy does not lead to reduced taxes or increased burden on farmers.

These clergy can use their divine magic to increase the output of the territory in various ways.

In particular, the priests of the Reya Church personally guide the development of animal husbandry and agriculture.

Recent intelligence has also revealed an important piece of information about the Essence of Nature to Su Li.

A new Essence of Nature, the Beast Master, has appeared in the most perfect pasture in the northern part of the territory, the Bloody Highlands.

Su Li still remembers the information about this Beast Master.

This is a gestalt-type essence soul that resides among flocks of sheep or goats. It has no physical form but can speak through the mouths of animals. It is arrogant and conceited, and once challenged by a strong personality, it becomes fearful. However, it possesses the power of hope bestowed by the Dawn Goddess. If it exists among herds, the pregnancy rate of the herds will significantly increase, and the number of births in each litter will be greater.

Because it has no physical form, even if it traverses most of the Empire’s territory, it will not be noticed by the local residents.

So, even if it wanders around, it is difficult to perceive. Su Li only knows that a new Essence of Nature has passed by the territory due to revealed intelligence, ensuring no important resources are overlooked.

However, even so, finding this Essence of Nature is not an easy task.

The Bloody Highlands are too vast, a boundless prairie where the Beast Master wanders around. Even if Su Li provided the Dawn Church with a marked location, the nuns of the Dawn Church would find it challenging to directly sense it.

To acquire this Essence of Nature, Su Li has already dispatched three nuns from the Dawn Church to the Bloody Highlands. They ride swift horses across the endless grasslands, continuously adjusting their route based on the intelligence provided by Su Li.

With new nuns from the Dawn Church joining in, the search process can be expedited.

The time left for the Dawn Church is running out. If there is no news within half a month, Su Li will have to abandon the search for this Essence of Nature, and the nuns must return to the territory to prepare for the most important summer harvest and planting.

The land reclamation matters in Jorn Shallow Bay can be postponed by the nuns. But during sowing, these nuns from the Dawn Church must absolutely not be absent from guiding the process.

In the hearts of the farming party, farming is more important and stable than animal husbandry.

And among the carefully selected 50 skilled workers from the Slave Capture Team, many can assist with the major farming projects of the territory. Among them are seven carpenters who can craft the crucial Nord heavy plows for the territory.

This summer, the territory is ambitiously aiming to cultivate at least ten thousand acres of good land. Without the aid of Nord heavy plows, and the help of oxen and horses for plowing, it would be difficult to achieve just by relying on human strength.

Additionally, there are several florists and herb field gatherers, capable of excellently tending to flower fields and herb fields.

Now the Bauhinia Flower Manor north of the castle has begun construction. The ogres’ efficiency is very high, and the main building of the manor has already been built on an acre of land, with subsequent rooms continuing to expand on both sides.

If not for Su Li’s dislike of noise, it could have already been moved into.

This manor manages the most important Holy Purple Vine Tree, the Purple Crystal Vineyard, and about ten acres of herb fields and spirit medicine fields north of the castle.

It’s not very suitable to have serfs coming in and out of here all the time, and having the nuns of the Dawn Goddess Church exclusively manage everything is a bit wasteful.

The emergence of these florists has perfectly solved this issue.

The Purple Crystal Grape Trees have already borne fruit. When they were transplanted, they were already mature grapevines. They just await the coolness of autumn for harvest.

The Purple Crystal Brandy and Purple Crystal Wine brewed from these precious grapes sell well in the southern provinces of the Empire. The price of a bottle of premium brandy is higher than a farmer’s annual income and can easily be sold for a gold crown. Some of the highest-quality ones might even sell for 5 to 10 gold crowns.

Therefore, this vineyard, which only has dozens of vines, can bring in dozens of gold crowns’ revenue for the territory annually, and in good years, it might even earn Su Li over a hundred gold crowns.

And it just so happens that among these fifty skilled workers, there are 8 vintners. Su Li has already ordered the construction of a winery north of the Bauhinia Flower Manor.
