Chapter 127 Rosie’s Day
An oasis is a large area of land around a volcano that is not affected by ice and snow all year round. The entire Shadow Flame Grand Duchy is built on the volcanic oasis.
The vastness of the oasis land is indescribable.
The large fertile land here belongs to the Red Castle and the Shadow Flame family. Several generations of grand dukes successively enfeoffed nearly 300 lords and lords around the territory to protect the entire oasis. It makes it difficult for the wind and snow to pass through.
But outside the oases, there are also some warm enclaves similar to “satellites”, such as the mouth of the Sancha River and the Youguang River Valley.
The Shadow Flame family was unable to control it, so they divided it into two earls and five barons to rule these warm enclaves. They guarded the vast oasis like satellites and became the thorn that the snow demons and snow ghosts could not avoid before they wanted to invade the oasis.
Because they are satellite enclaves, these warm places cannot be directly connected to the oases, so they have to open trade routes in the snowfields.
The Mountain and River Trade Road is a trade road that connects the oasis to the Youguang River Valley.
The fluorescent mushroom family is responsible for construction and cleaning.
“The Snow Ghost is really weak this year. It’s not even the hot summer yet, so why is the Snow Ghost wilting?” Lord Atlas complained.
“Stop complaining, Atlas.” Baron Roman said, “With fewer snow ghosts, we can focus more on the territory, manage it well, and if possible, take the opportunity to open up some new farmland. “
“This requires population, sir.” Atlas said, “If the Thunder Beast carts resume early this year, can we do some serf trade?”
“Yes, sir.” Lord Marcus also said, “The oasis has been resting for twenty years, and its population has increased a lot. We can buy and sell a batch to enrich the territory.”
Compared with the oasis, the satellite enclave is a bitter cold place, and the population has been slow to increase.
Naturally, I thought about buying and selling serfs from the oasis.
Hearing such a conversation, Russell immediately pricked up his ears. Although the serf trade easily reminded him of the black slave trade, he did not think of abusing the serfs like animals, but was preparing to introduce a group of immigrants to farm the land.
In my previous life, back home on Earth, major cities competed with each other for population and introduced various preferential policies.
He secretly thought: “If I set the welfare package higher, maybe I can attract some outstanding talents to come and settle in Wuyao Snake Manor!”
At this time, Baron Roman said: “Let’s restore the thunder beast to pull the cart first. The sale of serfs requires the permission of the Red Castle. You can test the Grand Duke’s tone first.”
The plan was settled.
After the meeting, they had a feast and a drink at noon. In the afternoon, the lords returned to their respective territories and began to prepare the knight squad.
Russell is no exception.
In addition to the knight classes in the morning and evening, a few extra classes were added for the practice of fighting spirit and martial arts. As the saying goes, if you don’t sharpen your weapons quickly in battle, it will be useless. Although a trip to the snowfield can make money, there will always be dangers that must be guarded against.
“Jiji!”
While he was practicing “Yu Guang Sword Technique” hard, the mushroom bird Rosie landed on his shoulder, swaying her body with Russell’s ups and downs, and then combing her beautiful green feathers all the time. It was really cute.
Russell stopped swinging his sword and touched Rosie’s head lightly: “Little guy, go play somewhere else, I still want to practice my sword.”
“Jiji.” Rosie was very understanding of human nature and immediately flew away obediently.
However, it did not fly back to the manor. Instead, it flew outside like a real bird. After adding up the speed, it was like an arrow leaving the string, so fast that the eyes could not see it.
In the blink of an eye, he flew from the manor’s courtyard to the potion farm.
It comes to see its own Cordyceps.
On the trunk of the largest birch tree, fluorescent cordyceps grow vigorously. Although they cannot glow during the day, they are still green and dazzling.
“Jiji.” Rosie liked her Cordyceps. It fell on the trunk of the tree and gently pecked at some of the defective areas of the Cordyceps to remove the defects so that the Cordyceps would grow more beautiful, like it Just as beautiful.
A bee buzzed over. It was a bear bee from the bear bee farm in the birch forest, looking for honey sources.
However, there were obviously no flowers in the birch forest, so the bumblebee flew away disappointed.
Rosie became interested, and followed the Bear Bees and quickly flew to the Bear Bees farm, where she saw a large group of Bear Bees busy coming in and out.
This filled Rosie with joy and she flew directly into the swarm of bear bees.
As if they knew it was a magical creature, the bumblebees did not cause a commotion because of Rosie’s arrival, and continued to collect pollen and build a hive seriously.
“ah!”
The wife of beekeeper Kenny, the bearded man, saw Rosie playing among the bees and hurriedly called to her husband: “Look, what a beautiful little bird is here!”
When the bearded Kenny saw it, he immediately pulled his wife: “What little bird? This is the Mushroom Bird, Mr. Rosie!”
“ah?”
“Didn’t you hear what the village chief said? The lord has a beautiful green mushroom bird called Lady Rosie. All the people in the territory are prohibited from doing any harm when they see the green bird. Violators will be executed immediately!”
“ah!”
“Farewell, come and say hello to Your Excellency Rosie.” The bearded Kenny took his wife and quickly came to the edge of the bee swarm. He bowed to Rosie from a distance, “I didn’t know you were here, Your Excellency Rosie. We What a rude couple, I hope you don’t blame me and have a good time here.”
Rosie tilted her head, wondering what these two people were doing.
But soon it lost interest, and also lost interest in the swarm of bears and bees. It flapped its wings and flew away like an arrow.
It was long after Rosie left that the bearded Kenny’s wife complained: “I don’t know if Rosie has eaten the queen bee. There are only a few queen bees in the bee colony!”
“How is it possible? Your Excellency Rosie is a magical creature, a mushroom bird!” said the bearded Kenny. “It doesn’t eat these things. It only eats jade powder. Did you know that jade powder is a companion of metals and gemstones? Just eat jade powder!”
“Okay, but Mr. Russell is really generous. Do you want such a beautiful mushroom bird to just fly around?”
“No one dares to hurt it, and no one can hurt it.” Bearded Kenny knows a lot, “I heard that elves and mushroom birds can be reborn. Even if you kill it, it can be reborn from Cordyceps. Woolen cloth!”
Then he added: “And you also saw its speed. It disappeared in a swish. Who can catch up with it?”
“You can always get it online.”
“Maybe it can pierce the net… Anyway, don’t think about it. It’s the treasure of the noble gentlemen, and it’s not something we like us can care about.”
“Think about it, you won’t violate the taboos of noble lords.” Bearded Kenny’s wife murmured in a low voice.
The bearded Kenny glared: “I can’t even think about it. The dragon is watching me. I am a nobleman who is watched by the dragon!”
When the dragon was mentioned, the bearded Kenny’s wife immediately shrank her neck and said obediently: “I know, I won’t think about it anymore… The dragon is above me, I don’t think about anything, you must not Watch me.”
The giant dragon is the most devout faith in Longmian Continent.
“Chi-chi, chi-chi!” Rosie, the mushroom bird, flew back to the manor’s courtyard. It happened that Russell had finished his extra lessons, so it landed on Russell’s shoulder and chirped, seeming to be telling what happened when he went out to play today. Interesting things.
Feeling the happiness in the little guy’s heart, Russell also became happy, and laughed and said: “You can only walk around nearby, you can’t run further, you know?”
“Jiji.”
