Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 782: Chapter 83: Extraordinary Wheat Seed Harvest

The abundance of talent in the Territory is no exaggeration. After the tour of the Golden Ears Holy Image concludes, a champion-level cultivator of the church will arrive at the Maiden’s Ring, marking a new addition to the Territory.

This is truly rare! Although the Territory already boasts four knights at the divine chosen level, the existence of a champion level is still extremely precious.

In fact, to be precise, each champion of the divine spirits is extremely rare, especially for a cultivator from the Dawn Goddess Church.

Currently, there is only one champion-level druid in the Hesse Territory, and that too was elevated to that status by Su Li’s tireless efforts and favor, at any cost. He secured the prosperity of the Lion’s Mane Mushroom through multiple applications of the Sun Descent divine magic, thereby receiving divine grace.

It can be said that without Su Li’s help, even if Vandar languished for several hundred more years, he might not be able to rise to champion level.

This soon-arriving champion-level great cultivator of the Dawn Church will be the first champion-level priest the Territory has welcomed from the Dawn Church. Moreover, this individual was attracted from the entire Border Prince’s Territory.

One can perceive just how precious the existence of a champion-level is.

Su Li even seriously doubts whether the Dawn Goddess Church has any divine chosen level existences. After all, their church is not known for its combat prowess.

Their church is usually composed of either druids or nuns, both of whom focus more on production. It remains unclear whether this new cultivator will be a druid or a nun. Su Li naturally hopes for a champion-level nun since, among all the champions in the Territory, female members are very few indeed.

Most of the female cultivators in the entire Territory, apart from knights, are nuns of the Dawn Church.

So today’s gathering and the sacrificial ceremony highlight the vitality and prosperity of the Dawn Church.

Vandar, the Shepherd Leader of the Dawn Church, spoke with a beaming smile regarding Su Li’s contributions: ”Our church’s province has also benefited from your support, Lord. As the Territory grows, more villages and farms now have Her Grace Reya’s Ogham Stones and monasteries, and the number of believers of the Dawn Church in the countryside is continuously increasing. Naturally, this has enabled our Territory’s agriculture to thrive.”

Upon hearing this, Su Li immediately perked up, turning to gaze at the fields below Reya’s wheat stand and asked, ”My minister, how has this harvest season turned out?”

Vandar excitedly replied, ”Lord, this spring has been exceptionally good. With no external threats of war and internal favorable weather, the entire Territory is flourishing, leading to an exceptional harvest this season.”

”Our wheat fields have rapidly expanded, with just the blood sacrifice fields reaching up to 2800 acres.”

A smile spread across Su Li’s face as joy filled his heart. Gazing out at the thriving blood fields, he remarked, ”I remember your last report stated that these fields covered 2500 acres?”

This is something truly uplifting and confidence-boosting. Even the number of blood sacrifice fields is gradually increasing each month, and these are no ordinary fields; the yield per acre easily exceeds 2000 pounds! A figure surpassing even the highest yields on Earth.

Vandar nodded, his elder face wrinkling into a joyful smile: ”We should thank the generosity of the Dawn Goddess for bestowing upon us the Holy Relic of Glory, the Dawn Secret Box, allowing us to summon an Essence Soul each cycle to preside over the blood sacrifice.”

”However, unfortunately, we lack sufficient blood sacrifice materials, thus limiting the expansion of the blood fields, otherwise, following the current trajectory, we could easily extend them to over 3000 acres.”

This is no problem; on the contrary, it is good news for Su Li. It means the Territory is peaceful and harmonious.

The materials for blood sacrifices are flesh and corpses, and without wars, naturally, these materials are scarce.

Although the scale of the blood sacrifices is affected, it means more common people can safely engage in production without being disturbed by war.

Moreover, the Dawn Secret Box allows the summoning quota to be shared with other Essence Souls, such as the Hearth Mother, an elderly woman forged from ashes and smoke, holding a clay spindle, with copper bells hanging from her waist. She emerges at night, entering farmhouses, using furnace ash to eliminate plagues and diseases at the threshold, blessing the health of mothers-to-be. Additionally, if children are abused or couples turn against each other, she will ring the copper bells, causing the hearth fire to extinguish abruptly until the wrongdoers repent.

This is closely related to the Dawn Church’s teachings: caring for children, cherishing love, and emphasizing procreation.

Su Li has only seen this Essence Soul once; her absence from today’s parade is because the Hesse Territory does not yet have a permanent presence of this type of Essence Soul; she was summoned only once through the Dawn Secret Box.

Her lone appearance has notably increased the number of pregnancies among common women in the Territory, aligning with the pearl wheat’s sacrificial effects, thereby fostering the prosperity of the Dawn Church as well.

Thinking of this, Su Li asked, ”How about the yield of these fertile fields, and what about the sacrificial effects of the pearl wheat?”

Vandar happily responded, ”Lord, our yield has greatly increased. With this harvest season, the Earth Vein Compass’s selected effect is the Breath of Harvest, the magic power enriched by the Wind of Jilun, so the fertile farmland and expansive pastures all anticipate a huge harvest. The blood fields have also been affected; the yield might rise to 2400 pounds!”

This means just from these blood-sacrificed fertile fields, 3,300 tons of grain can be produced?

This is truly an astonishing figure. The output from just these 2800 acres of blood fields is sufficient to supply the Hesse Territory’s army for half a year.
