Lord of Plenty

After a day of ‘meditation’, Kun, who didn’t even have time to enjoy dinner, was sitting in the conference hall of the castle listening to the progress report of three territory officials.

“…, the 127 civilians who came to Fengrao Territory with us from the capital, plus 366 slaves, have now all been registered.

For those who don’t have names, I also asked Mark to help them choose simple and easy-to-remember names according to the instructions of the young master.

For the matter of giving them names, those slaves are all grateful for the kindness of the young master.”

Old Tate, who became more and more excited as he spoke, even stood up from his seat and bowed to Kun, who was sitting in the main seat, as if he was thanking Kun for those slaves who got their own names.

And Kun just nodded expressionlessly, and didn’t feel any special pride in Old Tate’s praise.

Judging from the way ordinary kingdom nobles treat slaves, giving a lowly slave a name is simply unimaginable.

The only value of such a lowly existence as livestock is to dedicate the last bit of strength and flesh and blood to their noble masters.

How can I deserve to have my own name like them?

But for Kun, who has seen another world and has been deeply influenced by the culture, history, and knowledge of another world, doing so is both a selfish act and an instinct.

The nobles of the kingdom regard slaves as livestock from the bottom of their hearts, and are born to be lowly.

So they can regard all cruel acts against them as a matter of course.

Because in the cognition of traditional nobles, slaves are not equal to people.

Since they are not the same species as me, why should I feel pity?

But Kun can't do this.

He has accepted the more advanced ideas of another world and knows that there is no essential difference between the high kings, nobles, civilians, and even those lowly slaves.

We are all the same, people.

For Gong, he can't stand people like him lying in the mud, becoming livestock, and even having a lower status than livestock. That would make him feel uncomfortable.

Personally, he needs people who are inspired, passionate, capable of learning, self-aware, and living people to build his territory.

And these advantages will never appear in a slave.

That's why he signed such a contract with those slaves who should have been slaves for their whole lives and would never get rid of their slavery until the day they died, and all their descendants would be as miserable as them.

As long as they help him build his territory for five years, he will give them back their civilian status.

And old Tate looked at Kun with a face full of emotion.

He is really worthy of being his young master. He only used such a simple method to gain the loyalty of those lowly people, and he is not arrogant or impatient. He has really grown up.

As a slave, old Tate knows how attractive Kun's seemingly simple tricks are to those slaves who have lived in despair all their lives.

Originally, those slaves were skeptical about Kun's agreement with them, but Kun put everything on the table clearly, and even asked Vittorio to write a notice and post it in the whole village. This is to establish his own credibility.

Giving a name to the slaves who didn't use his own name was telling everyone that he, as a lord, could be so kind even to those slaves of low status, not to mention the civilians.

Old Tate dared to guarantee that the loyalty of those slaves to Kun was even higher than that of the guards that Kun brought from his family.

If honesty and kindness were not enough to prove that he was an excellent lord.

Then Kun asked his guard leader, Dawn, a third-level warrior, to serve as the sheriff of the territory and would immediately deal with the threat to the lives of the people posed by the monsters of the Dark Forest.

This last piece of the puzzle was put together to show that he had enough power to protect the territory.

Not only did Old Tate think so, Dawn and Vittorio also thought so.

The two looked at Kun with admiration. They didn't understand Kun's series of actions at first, and even thought he was too "kind".

It was not until they saw the enthusiasm in the eyes of the slaves who registered with Old Wright that they suddenly realized that they seemed to have underestimated the Marquis.

After Old Tate, the second territory sheriff to report was Dawn.

"I have traveled all over the outer areas where the Ever Dark Forest and the Territory of Plenty meet, and found many potential traces of monsters, but this is even worse."

Dawn took out a bloody canine tooth from his arms. The canine tooth was about an inch long, shining with a fascinating cold light under the refraction of the candlelight.

"I found this on a thick-skinned wild boar that was eaten to the point of only bones.

Following the blood and feces, I found a medium-sized group of blood wolves deeper in the forest. The number is estimated to be no less than 100."

"Blood wolves? Goddess, isn't that one of the most brutal and vicious low-level monsters on the continent?

I remember that blood wolves should be solitary monsters. How could they appear in groups? Lord Dawn, are you seeing things?"

"See the blood groove on this canine tooth? It is attached with the magic of the blood wolves that will make people bleed profusely. Weapons made with this thing will also make people bleed profusely until they die of excessive blood loss.

If you don't believe it, you can scratch it on your hand."

Vittorio's eyes were filled with horror, and his head shook like a rattle.

Kun laughed and said:

"Okay Dawn, please stop teasing our tax collector. If you are not afraid of having your wages deducted in the future, then please feel free to do so."

"No, no, how could I do this?"

Vittorio kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with a silk handkerchief, and deducted the salary of a third-level warrior. Who would dare to do this if he has eaten the heart of a bear?

"The queen should have appeared. The blood-terrible wolf is a typical matriarchal society type of monster. Only during the mating season will the blood-terrible wolf gather around the queen to reproduce the next generation.

As for the so-called magic that makes people bleed, it is just that there is a bacteria in the mouth of the Blood Horror Wolf that can secrete coagulation inhibitory factors, not any magic. "

"This kind of bacteria is harmless to the Blood Horror Demonic Wolf, but it can cause the prey bitten by the Demonic Wolf to bleed profusely, increasing the chances of the Demonic Wolf hunting successfully. It can be considered a relatively common symbiotic relationship."

Dawn fidgeted with the canines in her hand and murmured:

"It turns out it's not magic."

Although he didn't quite understand what the germs in the lord's mouth were, he could still hear clearly that there was no magic attached to the tooth.

Compared to the legend of the magic wolf passed down from generation to generation, he naturally believed more in what a third-level archmage said personally.

“Now that a group of uninvited guests have appeared in the forest, our plan to cut down a safety isolation belt between the Forest of Eternal Darkness and the fields must be stepped up.

Once the Queen begins to give birth to offspring, the Blood Horror Demonic Wolf will capture all creatures within sight for the Queen to feed on. With the current power of the Fertile Leader, it cannot withstand the ravages of a hundred demonic wolves. "

"clear."

Dawn nodded and made her request.

"I need more manpower, otherwise I won't be able to cut much wood in one day with the few manpower of the original escort team.

By the way, there are also tools, tools that are handy. The cold fir trees in the Forest of Eternal Darkness are too hard, and the stone ax alone will cause too much damage. "

"Manpower? Are you still short of manpower to chop down trees?"

Kun set his sights on Vittorio, who was part-time secretary. Spring plowing had not yet begun, and there were only two things to do in the territory. One was to cut down an isolation strip, and the other was to build more houses.

The Jade Heart Village, plus the people he brought from the royal capital, totaled a total of 1,100 people. With these two things, there should not be a shortage of manpower, right?

"this……"

The silk handkerchief, already soaked with sweat, was obviously no longer able to absorb any more sweat.

Old Tate and Dawn looked at their noses with their eyes, and their noses looked at their hearts, keeping their mouths shut, as if this matter had nothing to do with me.

Kun, who guessed the situation, comforted him:

"It's okay, don't be nervous. Everything is waiting to be done in the territory. Whether it is the territory or the people's trust in us, we need to build it up little by little. No one can do it overnight.

Tomorrow I will patrol the entire Harvest Territory. If there are any problems, we will solve them together tomorrow. "

Vittorio, whose face was full of excitement, quickly stood up from his seat and bowed ninety degrees to Kun.

"Thank you very much for your trust in me, sir. I, Vittorio, swear by the name of my family name Diarra, I will wholeheartedly help you settle every account in the territory, and I will never be greedy for any copper coins in the territory. ”

"I'm looking forward to it."

A decent smile befitting a lord appeared on Kun's face.

Kun, who has been influenced by the Yalan family since he was a child, although it is a bit awkward to do such a thing, he is still quite comfortable.

After finishing the black tea on the table, Dawn and Vittorio bid farewell to Kun sensibly.

Kun looked at Old Tate, who still regarded himself as his servant:

"Ask Mrs. Mary for me, do you have pan-fried lamb chops, pear juice, and chestnut bread for dinner? All of these are for two people."

"For two? Are you inviting someone to dine with you?"

"A friend from afar."

Kun smiled and said, "I will introduce you to him later. Oh, by the way, he will also live in the castle from now on and ask someone to clean up another guest room."

"Okay, Master."

Without asking any more questions, Old Tate leaned over and left.

Kun did not continue to stay in the living room, but returned to his mage laboratory. The third-level abundant magic of "Flesh Shaping" was a bit bloody, and it was not easy to show it in front of everyone in the castle.

In the center of the already drawn magic circle, place the specially cultivated fungi.

Kun took out a seed the size of a grain of rice from his personal space. As he chanted the incantation, the seed began to germinate, and a needle-like stem came out.

This is a blood-eating plant that lives in the Sunset Desert and will suck out every last drop of blood from the small animals it hunts.

If the external environment is too harsh, it can turn the blood it sucks into nutrients and store them all, then turn them into seeds to go dormant, and then break out of the ground when the rain falls.

At the end of the rhizome of this strange-looking plant, drops of specially preserved blood were spat out.

It was Li Yuntian's blood that he got from another world this time, and it ended up dripping on the white fungi in the center of the circle.

As the blood soaked in the bacteria, the bacterial mass began to revive rapidly, and blue fluorescence began to spread throughout the bacterial mass regularly.

The fungus slowly floated in the air. The brain and nervous tissue were built first, then the bones, then the organs, blood vessels, muscles and fat, and finally the skin and hair.

Soon, the light of the magic circle on the ground faded little by little, and a handsome black-haired boy from another world suddenly appeared in the distant world on the other side of the starry sky. He was no longer bald.

Kun waved the red short-handled coral staff in his hand and whispered to himself:

"Second level fertility magic, [Life Link]!"

A golden arc of electricity hit the black-haired boy's body, and the other end of the arc was connected to the open door of abundance.

The black eyes slowly opened, and the surroundings were a little hazy. The young man wearing a bright yellow high-level mage robe beside him said to him excitedly:

"Welcome to Xuguang Continent, my friend!"

"Move your body and see if there is anything wrong.

This body is completely built according to your body in another world. Except that the brain and nerves are made of neural slime, the flesh and blood of the body are completely a replica of you in the other world.

Although there are diseases, in this world, your illnesses are much easier to deal with. After you get used to your current body, I will help you get rid of your illnesses after a while. "

Li Tianyun tried to hold his right hand and moved his left foot, as if he was under a slowing spell, his movements were slow.

Kun looked his companion up and down and said, "Well, is it because the soul and container are a little slow due to some tolerance? It seems that it will take some time to get used to it."

"Thanks."

Li Tianyun's tone was firm and his eyes were sincere.

Kun had gone around in such a big circle, even thinking of such unbelievable ways as sneaking across the world, and he just wanted to help him cure his illness.

In another world, there is no way to cure him, so we can only find a way to sneak him into this world.

Becoming a great warrior and breaking the shackles of life is the only way to cure his physical illness.

Because the two worlds share one life, if the vitality here increases, it can form a reverse flow, breaking the shackles of life on the body in the other world and causing transformation.

And with the improvement of his life essence, his incurable diseases caused by birth defects can also be cured without medicine.

But just being able to come up with such an unconventional way is incredible, and Kun actually succeeded. Li Yuntian didn't know what to say to express his gratitude.

"This is clothes. The inner lining is made of silk spun from spiders, and the outer lining is sewn from red fox leather. It is very warm, so wear it thicker. It is winter here, and it is so cold that my teeth are chattering. I'm not going to lie to you. ”

"Get dressed and let's go to the restaurant for dinner. Mrs. Marry, remember I told you about her. The cook in my castle is excellent at cooking pan-fried lamb chops."

It was the first time Kun invited a friend to his home, and he couldn't stop talking.

I can't wait to drag Li Yuntian to show off everything worth seeing in his territory.
