I, a fallen nobleman, started the farming system

Chapter 37 Rewarding the task of iron ore

The green wheat seedlings are growing gratifyingly, swaying in the wind.

Lin En and many serfs stood on the edge of the field, looking at the large farmland in front of them.

Old Tom said: "My lord, it's really strange to say that the seeds are all planted together. I don't know why some crops grow very fast. Look over there."

He pointed to the land ahead. The wheat seedlings in that area generally grew taller than the surrounding wheat seedlings, and the stalks were thicker, which puzzled the serfs.

Lin En was not surprised. These wheat seedlings were grown from high-quality wheat seeds rewarded by the system, so they naturally grew better than ordinary seeds here.

In the future, these wheat harvests will be specially used for the next breeding, and after a few times, large-scale planting can be carried out.

Lynn's line of sight was in the sunset forest, and the two of them entered it, but they didn't know why.

He thought for a while and said, "It rained heavily two days ago, has the arrowhead mushroom been affected?"

"There was some impact. I saw that part of the ground was washed away, and some arrowhead mushrooms were washed out." Old Tom replied.

Lynn frowned, "Go and have a look."

A group of people came to the place where the arrowhead mushrooms were produced, and the dry trees were still there. Some arrowhead mushrooms were hit by the rain and cracked. Lin En asked the serfs to split and rush out, and the larger arrowhead mushrooms were picked.

He looked around and asked Little Tom to take him to the place where he lost yesterday.

It's not far from the arrowhead mushroom production area, and the serfs have been here before when they explored around the production area.

Little Tom whispered, "My lord, I saw a lot of shiny things right here, they were very beautiful, and then I don't know where they went."

He was a little embarrassed, if he wasn't distracted, he would definitely be able to follow.

Lynn shook his head, "It's okay, don't worry about this, as long as you don't do this next time."

After becoming a knight, his eyesight and hearing have improved, and Lynn is carefully surveying the surrounding environment.

According to Little Tom, if Raff went out suddenly in the middle of the night, he must have encountered some problems, so it would be impossible for him to cover up his traces.

Lin En narrowed his eyes, he found a footprint, looking at the series of footprints ahead, he knew that this was where the two were going.

He asked little Tom to go back, and he chose to follow the footprints.

After walking about a hundred meters, Lynn heard the sound of running water. He walked through a large area of ​​bushes and came to a river. The water was clear and there were some unknown fish living in it.

The river is not wide, about two or three meters long, and the water depth is less than the calf, and there are stones and leaves all over the water.

The footprints stopped abruptly here, and there were no footprints on the other side of the river, which made Lynn feel strange.

The panel in front of him changed.

"Mission [-]: The mayor Raff seems to be hiding some secrets. Find and break the secrets. The first stage rewards clean mountain spring water. (Completed)"

The mission dissipated, and a line of words appeared.

"Mission [-] ([-]): What is the purpose of the mayor going deep into the forest in the middle of the night? There seems to be a big secret in it. Find and decrypt it. The second stage rewards iron ore."

The moment Lynn saw the task reward, the expression on Lynn's face changed.

This is iron ore, which means that the reward will be a mine, not a piece of iron ore, which means quite scary.

The resource of iron ore is a very important strategic material for any lord or noble. As long as one masters a mine, a large amount of ore can be excavated from it.

Taking iron ore as an example, it can be used to make farm tools, weapons, armor, etc., covering all aspects.

What's more, there is not only one kind of ore in each mining area, but also associated ore, no matter what it is or how many, it can provide a lot of income for the lord.

Not only Ash Town lacks iron ore, but even the territory of Lynn's father, the Earl, lacks iron ore. This kind of resource is not as much as the nobles dislike it, it will only feel that it is scarce.

Lynn's eyes changed, he looked at the river, and guessed where Raff and the others went, and why the reward was an iron mine.

At present, he also has a general understanding of the composition of system task rewards. Some tasks directly issue rewards, and some are to guide you to get rewards. As for the illusory rewards that increase happiness, they are not included in it. up.

The iron ore will not appear out of thin air, so it means that the mission is to guide Lynn to find the iron ore.

This made Lin En even more puzzled. Raff must know where the iron ore is, why he didn't mine it, and if he found iron ore, the earl would definitely reward him, and maybe even give him a noble status.

After all, iron ore is too important to sell privately. Unless you are a noble lord, ordinary merchants dare not buy it. Ralph is just a freeman. Even if he has the means to sell iron ore, he can sell a few or dozens of yuan at most. He wants to sell it in a steady stream, and if things go on like this, it will still attract the attention of interested people.

Not to report, not to mine, not to become a nobleman, not to earn gold coins, what is Raff's purpose?

Unless, there is something more precious than iron ore in it.

What was Lynn thinking it would be?
"Master, why are you here?" Karis' anxious voice came from behind.

After hearing what Little Tom said, he immediately led the serfs to chase after him. This is the Sunset Forest, what if he encounters a monster.

"Come over and have a look, I didn't expect to have unexpected harvest. You see, the river is clear, and there are some fish in it, which can be caught and cooked for soup. In addition, send people over regularly to look around and explore more around. There are rivers There are beasts in the place, if you find them, go to the castle and tell me immediately." Lynn said.

"There is one more thing. If possible, you can follow the river to the upper and lower reaches. The lower reaches of the river are wide and have richer fish resources. If you can catch enough fish, you don't have to worry about food."

The serfs nodded one after another. Although they were a little afraid of the unknown forest, the adults had said so, so they could only explore as much as possible.

Under the leadership of old Tom, they entered the river, and within a short time they caught many small fish, which were not big, only about the length of a finger, and only a few big fish were only palm-sized.

"My lord, come and have a look." Old Tom ran over and said to Lynn.

Lynn immediately followed Old Tom downstream. At first, the river was only two or three meters wide, but gradually it widened.

Four to five meters, six to seven meters, and the depth is also increasing until the bottom of the river cannot be seen clearly.

Due to the influence of the terrain ahead, the river water converged into a huge lake.
