Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 352: Chapter 156: Land Sale Finances and Freya’s Principles (Part 4)

Amidst the intertwining paths, there were Swamp Mantis creatures, towering over ten meters tall with eight leg-like columns, carrying vast amounts of materials and slowly heading towards Heisen Castle. Despite their slow movements, their unparalleled transport capacity exceeded that of dozens of carts.

The people of Dawn Church observed all of this by the gate, ensuring that the lake water could irrigate all the farmlands and channels below and also ensuring that some mystical creatures in this Holy Land wouldn’t leave.

Thus, Vandar released a [Sunset] on the eastern side of the lake, greatly enlivening the beings within. Various rare fish and fantasy creatures, some even unseen by Su Li, scrambled to leap out of the water, reveling in the surging Wind of Jilun brought by the divine magic.

Through this divine magic, the lake creatures were attracted to the eastern shore of the lake, preventing them from swimming out of the gate.

This scene attracted a large number of residents and creatures living in the territory to enjoy the spectacle. Even Guardian Otter Kappa led a primitive maiden and a group of River Elves into the lake to appreciate the beautiful sight.

However, this divine magic greatly drained Vandar’s stamina, and after casting it, he sat gasping for breath on the embankment, resting against a willow tree.

As Su Li approached, Vandar was gulping wine from a flask.

Su Li chuckled and asked, ”Lord Vandar, you’re in good spirits. Enjoying new wine with the splendid scenery during these great times?”

Vandar quickly stood up, leaning against the trunk while breathing heavily, and said, ”Lord, you misunderstand. This isn’t wine. Druids usually refrain from drinking alcohol. This is Magic Spring Water, infused with laurel gemstone, to help me recover my divine power.”

Su Li’s eyes lit up: ”You’ve already used the laurel gemstone?”

Vandar nodded and said, ”Indeed. Now, our territory has only two laurel gemstones, one with me, and one that should have been with Pasture Master Edmond, but it was taken by the Military Commander today.”

”It wasn’t easy. If not for the Provincial Assembly’s support, the Pasture Master wouldn’t have willingly handed over such precious gemstones to a rough knight. I heard Edmond even holds onto his gourd vessel while sleeping.”

The gourd, similar to a calabash, made from gourd, is commonly used by the Empire and Druids to hold items like olive oil, wine, and sweet spring water.

Edmond holding onto his gourd while sleeping was something Su Li hadn’t expected.

Su Li laughed and asked, ”He doesn’t have anything particularly important, why is he so attached to it?”

Vandar immediately said solemnly, ”How can he not? With Edmond’s help, our Hot Spring Village’s herb cultivation has expanded to 43 acres!”

”That’s entirely due to his full effort to catalyze it.”

acres of herbs—what a precious spice, meaning at least 50 pounds can be produced next year.

A pound of herb pods is equivalent to a pound of gold.

But it shouldn’t be perceived as easily achieved expansion. All development requires investment.

Edmond’s consumption of potions, spring water, and divine magic to catalyze these herbs is a considerable investment.

Don’t think that these things are free and thus valueless; they can be considered as equivalent work hours.

A druid casting numerous spells and divine magic generates vast value in any aspect.

Su Li was curious about another matter and asked, ”Did you use [Sunset] on the herb plantation?”

Although the usage quotas for [Sunset] divine magic are extremely tight, with every place needing its blessing, given its tremendously powerful effects. It can summon a Fiery Sun, causing golden dawns to flow like liquid gold across farmlands and pastures.

Then, the land will be protected by a series of divine grace, including [Pure Area], [Recognize Nature], [Immunity to Insect Pests], [Abundant Grain], and [Natural Order] for a whole month.

Regardless, the herb plantation deserves such a divine magic blessing, which can increase spice per-acre output and may even result in higher quality extraordinary herb pods.
