Lord of Plenty

Fortunately, there are relatively few fools in the Harvest Territory who feel that studying is useless and not as good as farming, so Reinhardt doesn't have many opportunities to appear.

In fact, not only were the schools full during the day, but the adult classes at night were also crowded, much more than Kun originally expected.

People in Yongxu Continent seem to have an extremely strong thirst for knowledge. They didn't have the opportunity before, but now there are free schools. Even if they are exhausted during the day, they still have to go to Jade University Hall to attend classes at night.

Although most of them could not understand what the teachers were saying, it seemed that as long as they were in the school, they would be extremely satisfied.

As the principal, Myhrvold had a headache about this. He thought it was an easy job, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome. There was a serious shortage of teachers and too many students. After asking again for a long time, I heard a joke.

There are still a lot of things to deal with every day, and he is even busier than when he was in the Magician Association. If it weren't for that adult, he would have given up his job long ago.

Originally, Kun wanted to trick the old mercenaries from the Bingya Mercenary Group into giving lectures to the off-duty workers, so as to alleviate the problem of insufficient manpower in the lecture hall.

In fact, those mercenaries only need to talk about their adventure experiences. Compared with the boring and incomprehensible mainland history and magic basics, the adventure experiences of mercenaries in various places are more attractive to these workers.

Kun has high hopes for the children in the classroom. For those who are off-duty workers, he only hopes that they can understand basic words and numbers, and there are not many requirements.

There was nothing that could be done about it. The trees had already grown, and Kun could only prune the branches and leaves of the trees to make them grow better, but he could not change the nature of these trees.

Unfortunately, the plan did not change quickly. Those mercenaries had to "volunteer" to take on the work of running merchants. Compared with having a few more half-baked lecturers in the lecture hall, it was more important to open a trade route between Fenghuo Territory and the outside world.

Although the Harvest Territory does not yet have much output, the territory needs cloth, iron ore, seasonings and other daily necessities. For these, the Harvest Territory cannot be self-sufficient for the time being, so it requires dedicated people to go out and buy them.

And now that there is a business group, the hard-earned money of the territorial residents can finally be put to use.

Kun has always believed that making money is just a means, and spending money is the goal.

In other words, living better is the goal.

"Sir, are you looking for us?"

Dawn and Nia pushed open the door and entered.

Kun, who was standing by the window, turned around and said with a smile:

"How is your new arm? Are you getting used to it?"

Dawn clenched her fists and said with gratitude:

"Thank you, sir. I'm very adaptable. After these few days of training, the awkward feeling at the beginning is gone. I don't feel that this arm is fake at all. It's just that I still don't have enough strength."

"What's fake? That's an arm reshaped with your body's flesh and blood. The awkwardness you feel is nothing more than your psychological effects. Slowly forget about the fact that your arm was cut off. This new one will The arm will be able to exert its original strength. I feel sad, but I think it shouldn’t be a problem for you.”

"I understand, thank you for your guidance."

Kun nodded and threw a bottle of sky-blue potion to Dawn, who always looked serious.

"You have brought great gains to the territory. You did not accept the cut-off weapon. Helping you reshape your arm is just compensation. This is your reward."

"I don't ask for any reward."

"Oh? This is what you desire most, the key to the fourth level. Do you really not want it?"

"Fourth level, key?!"

Dawn looked down at the potion in his hand that was as clear and deep as the sky, and his whole body trembled slightly. Even if he was as calm and serious as he was, he would never be truly indifferent in the face of such a huge temptation.

Nia on the side couldn't help but widen her eyes, curiously looking at the potion in her master's hand.

After this period of hard work, Nia is no longer the reckless girl who didn't understand anything. At least she still knows the classification of warriors.

For example, she is now a first-level warrior, also called a junior warrior. Most of the guards brought by the lord from the royal capital are at this level.

Her master Dawn is a third-level warrior, also known as a great warrior. He is not an ordinary great warrior, but a peak great warrior. The next step is the heroic realm, the legendary sword master.

But how difficult is this step? Just look at how many great warriors and how many sword masters there are on the entire continent. Anyway, no one in the entire Dansu Kingdom has set foot in the realm of heroes for three hundred years.

And this small bottle of magic potion in front of me is actually the key to entering that supreme realm?

If another person had said this, she wouldn't believe it even to death.

Dao En suppressed the excitement in his heart and said:

"Aren't you saying that without a year and a half of research, this thing wouldn't be possible?"

Thinking of a poor guy who could only move his fingers after being in remission for more than half a month, Kun suppressed a smile and said:

"Yes, I did say this, but God doesn't know what will happen tomorrow. The necessary materials were obtained very quickly. This can only mean that you are very lucky. It happens to be an attribute that you can use. Secondly, a guinea pig voluntarily sacrificed his life and provided a lot of valuable research data, which greatly accelerated the research of the finished product, and you are the first beneficiary. "

"But let's start with the ugly story, because the main ingredient of this potion has an extraordinary origin. While the effect is extraordinary, the danger is also greatly increased. Even now, there is still a 20% chance of death. Are you sure you want to take a gamble? Or When I get safer 'materials', I will prepare a more stable potion with a lower failure rate for you."

"80% chance of promotion, 20% chance of death?"

Dawn, who murmured softly, looked dazed for only a moment, and immediately made his decision, saying in a deep voice:

"No need to bother, just choose this. Thank you for your help!"

After removing the cork from the bottle, Dawn drank the blood in one gulp very proudly. Not to mention the 80% chance of promotion, he dared to bet even with an 80% chance of death and only a 20% chance of success.

Seeing Dao En's reckless behavior that was exactly the same as Li Tianyun's, Kun's face twitched. He really deserves to be a master and apprentice. The 80% chance of success he said was based on his magic assistance. You just did it without asking. , isn’t this looking for death?

You don’t need to follow the doctor’s instructions before taking the medicine. Why don’t you ask if there are any taboos?

Sure enough, Dawn clutched her throat and fell down with a look of pain on her face.

Kun sighed lightly, he couldn't carry them one by one.

With a slight stomp of his feet, the magic circle rose up, and Dawn, who fell on the ground, was transported to the special magic circle in Kun Magic Laboratory and sealed layer by layer.

If Dawn succeeds, then he can come out of it, but if he fails...

Kun had a headache. He really couldn't find a talent who could replace Dawn for a while. Wasn't such a reward a bit too reckless?

However, Dawn's contribution to the Harvest Territory this time was too great. Apart from the divine blood fusion potion, he had no matching rewards on hand.

"Master Dao En?"

Nia looked worried. Dawn was very kind to her. Nia, who had no father or mother since she was a child, worshiped Dawn as her own father.

"Don't worry, he has his own decisions and ideas. You should bless him. Isn't it the luckiest and happiest thing in the world to have the opportunity to practice his own path and dreams? You will be slower in the future. Slow to understand.”

Nia stared blankly at Kun, whose eyes were full of enthusiasm. This look sometimes flashed in Dawn's eyes. She knew that this was the biggest difference between them and herself.

It's not even a difference in strength, because that senior brother who is countless times weaker than her, Li Tianyun, also has this look in his eyes. It seems that he can abandon his own life at any time for something, but there is really something more important than life in this world. ?

"Nia, Nia..."

Nia, who had come back to her senses, was slightly shy and said with a blush:

"Sorry sir, I was a little distracted. What did you just say?"

"I said, I'm going to let you take the escort to the capital. I have a business partnership with a guy in the capital, and I need you to help me deliver the goods. If your master doesn’t accept it, just take it as a reward for your work.”

Nia stared blankly at the broken sword handed to her. She had only seen lords who collected taxes in advance, but never seen lords who gave rewards in advance. However, it looked like it was just a broken sword, so it shouldn't be too valuable. , so he took the broken sword generously and said in a deep voice:

"Please leave it to me to deliver the goods. I will fulfill my mission and deliver the goods successfully."

Kun laughed and said:

"Try this sword. It's too short for ordinary warriors to use, but it's still good as a secondary weapon."

Nia nodded and held the hilt of the sword with her backhand. The brilliant crimson fighting spirit spurted out like a trailing meteor. With a single stroke, a large section of the high-grade sassafras wood chair beside her was immediately chipped away.

Kun's face darkened. You stubborn child, I asked you to test the sword, not to chop down my chair. I want to buy my antique furniture that is a hundred years old. I can't find a place to buy it. I will secretly take this account from your salary in the future. Mile buckle!

Nia looked at the chair with only a section cut off in surprise. She had just rushed to smash the chair. When she lowered her head and looked at the broken sword in her hand, it turned out to be blunt, so she said with some embarrassment:

"What a great sword."

Kun said angrily:

"Okay, okay, I specially asked Antone to recast a layer of hundred-forged steel on this artifact, without even opening the blade. This short sword is not as sharp as a machete now. If this can be considered a good sword, In this world, any shoddy sword can be called a magic weapon."

"God, artifact?"

Nia's hand shook and she almost threw the dagger in her hand.

"It's what you thought, an artifact. There is a terrible curse attached to this sword. Most people will be deprived of their entire body's vitality if their skin is broken even slightly. You have also seen the injuries on Dawn, right? This sword cut off an arm. Because it was too dangerous, I put a magic seal on it. Don't even think about opening it until you step into the realm of the great warrior, and restore the original appearance of this artifact. It is what it is now. A dull knife that’s hard enough to chop wood.”

"This, this, is too valuable. I can't accept it. Please take it back."

"It was Dao En's recommendation. He said that this Lishou Short Cut is more suitable for you. And didn't I say that this is a reward paid to you in advance. Of course, if you can't even handle the small task of transporting goods, you Just return this short cut, don't let your master and me down."

"Yes! I will definitely live up to the expectations of the lord and master!"

Putting the Li Jue Short Blade on her waist and shoulders, Nia left the reception room with a face full of excitement.

In fact, not only Dawn was optimistic about Nia, but Kun was also very optimistic about this wild girl. She was the best choice in talent and character. Maybe she could be the second Falling Star Sword Saint, but she was a little too wild.

However, a true genius is not the kind of person who is willing to be under someone else for a long time.

Kun is not the kind of ruthless lord who will eliminate all the threats without asking any questions. Similarly, he has his own pride and is not afraid of challenges.

He is the Master of Abundance, the owner of the nursery, and to put it bluntly, he is just a flower farmer.

But after all, the flowers that ran out of his nursery should be marked with his mark.

Whether it is the fighting method or the special point that the Li Jue Short Blade is a divine weapon, it is just to tell Nia, this wild girl, who is good to her and where her home is, and to increase the weight of the Abundance Territory in her heart.

Geniuses will not be moved by petty gains, but will be moved by sincerity.

"Why is there no one willing to exchange sincerity with me? Am I too cold?"

Kun reflected on his actions for a while.

In the end, he found that it was not his fault.

He had no attachment to this world, just like a dandelion seed blown by the wind, he could go anywhere and it didn't matter where he went.

If the heart is like a rootless duckweed, it will appear indifferent, because there is nothing worth his attachment here, and everything can be thrown away at will.

Some people miss their hometown because there are people who love him and those he loves there. The farther away from home, the more they miss it.

Kun worked hard to build Fengrao Territory, which was to create a "hometown" for himself and a place of peace of mind.

I think he will not be so "indifferent" on the day when Fengrao Territory is truly built.

Since there is nothing worth his attachment in this world, then build one with his own hands, this is Kun's idea.

Calling the maid to clean up the chair that can no longer be sat on, Kun also left the living room.

The matter of Fengrao Territory has come to an end for the time being. He plans to take a two-day break and go to Blue Star to have some fun. He heard that Haicheng seems to be holding an animation festival, which is very lively, so it's a good time to join in the fun.

Yongxu Continent naturally has its own festivals. The birthday of the king is a festival, and the birthdays of the six gods such as the goddess of the sky are also festivals, but basically each kingdom celebrates its own, and it can't be considered a unified festival.

The birthday of the king of each country cannot be on the same day, and because of the different beliefs of each country, the birthday of the true god is not celebrated in every kingdom.

The Kingdom of Dansu simply doesn't celebrate any god's birthday, as if it has a grudge against the six gods.

There is only one festival that can be regarded as a unified festival on the continent, and that is the big celebration at the end of the year, the New Day Festival.

The name of this festival sounds a bit strange, New Day, New Day, but isn't every tomorrow a New Day?

Moreover, this festival is not the first creation of the human kingdom, but has been passed down since ancient times, older than the ancient elf kingdom, so old that no one knows why this festival was born and when it started.

Kun consulted countless ancient books and found only sporadic relevant records, mentioning that the "sun" in the New Day Festival actually refers to the sun.
