Lord of Plenty

Farming is a hard job. The lords on Yongxu Continent whipped their whips until sparks came out. At most, a young and strong slave could plow half an acre of land with those simple stone tools in a day.

And Kun, a fourth-level fertility wizard, and a second-level blue-armored bear, actually plowed 200 acres of land in a day. Kun was not in any trouble, but the bear was almost exhausted. Kun had to ask a water magic apprentice to cast a few water magic spells on the blue-armored bear to relieve fatigue.

Kun stood in front of the simple animal shed built for the Blue Armor Bear, like an unscrupulous boss who exploited his employees, and praised him hypocritically:

"Thank you for your hard work, but today's results are still much less than I expected. Give me a little more effort tomorrow, Tate, and ask the chef in the castle to give it a midnight snack at night. How does the saying go? A horse cannot grow fat without night grass. Eat more, and try to cultivate 400 acres tomorrow."

The Blue Armor Bear King, who was also a local overlord in the outskirts of the Ever Dark Forest, slowly opened his mouth and stared with eyes that looked doubtful about his life. 200 acres today, 400 acres tomorrow? Is your increase a bit exaggerated, or do you have some misunderstanding about bears?

Or else?

"Hey, I'm telling you."

Kun's eyes immediately became dangerous, "I've already cast a tracking magic on you, you'd better not have the stupid idea of ​​escaping at night. Of course, it doesn't matter if you want to escape, but I will extract your soul and expose it to the sun, and then make your body into a fake doll. Believe me, you are really comfortable plowing the land here."

The blue-armored bear immediately became wilted.

The bear's life is in danger. This guy who looks like those weak two-legged beasts is definitely a high-headed demon who has changed his posture. Otherwise, how could he be so cruel and evil?

After beating the playful bear who dared to sneak around under his nose, Kun turned and walked towards the castle.

That is, he was not very skilled in sowing hundreds of vines at the same time for the first time today, and he couldn't plant too many blue-armored bears, so he turned a blind eye to the playful bear who sneaked around, otherwise he might not know what to eat for supper tonight.

"I didn't expect to find a new way to sharpen my mental power by accident."

Kun was very satisfied with today's harvest. Although the number of acres of cultivated land did not reach the initial plan, there were more than 6,000 acres of land to be cultivated, and the time was only a little more than half a month.

In other words, only if more than 400 acres of land were cultivated every day, all crops could be sown without affecting the growth of crops. The discovery of a new way to sharpen mental power was a pleasant surprise.

Using magic to summon hundreds of vines can be done by some beginner mages with a solid foundation, but if it is to command these vines as if they were arms and fingers, ordinary beginner mages can only control one vine. Even for a third-level great mage, Kun dares to guarantee that the number of controlled vines will never exceed ten.

Condensing a fireball and shooting it out, and making the condensed fireball suddenly bend in the air are two different levels of difficulty.

Imagine that with hundreds of arms on the body, ordinary people may not even be able to live a normal life. The touch feedback from those hands alone can make the brain crash and can't handle it at all.

108 vines, this is the limit of Kun's current ability to finely control vines. Once this number is exceeded, Kun will start to get flustered. In fact, when he first started, he could only control 73 vines.

But Kun is very smart and learns quickly. It didn't take long for him to master the trick, and he kept increasing the number of vines one by one until the current limit.

After this day of extreme training, Kun not only felt that his mental power was a little tougher, but also that his spiritual sea had a tendency to grow slightly stronger.

"If the improvement of mental power could be as simple as magic power."

"Hehe, what are you thinking about."

Kun shook his head and laughed at himself. This is what is called greed.

The unique magic characteristics of the Abundance Mage, the plants planted will feedback to the magician's magic power. Kun's huge source of magic power, which is 40 times more than that of the same level, is accumulated little by little by the plants he planted. Otherwise, he would not have been able to advance to the hero realm at such a young age.

From the height of the fourth level, it is a high-level view to infer the bottleneck of the third level. From the third level to infer the door of the fourth level, it is like a blind man touching an elephant. The difficulty is very different.

No matter how conceited Kun is, he dare not say that he can enter the fourth level from the third level in one year. On the surface, he seems to have entered the third level at the age of fifteen, and then it took only one year to be promoted to the fourth level hero realm.

But in fact, this account should be calculated like this. He did not break through the fourth level barrier from the year he entered the third level at the age of fifteen, but from the day he became a rich magician, from the first plant he planted, he began to prepare to break through the bottleneck.

It’s just that even Kun himself didn’t know this at the beginning. He just simply thought that if the magic power increased, he could support his magic experiments for a longer time.

Ten years ago, in the ten years when Kun became a magician, he didn’t even deliberately plant plants to pursue more magic power. If it weren’t for the need of the rich mark on his hand, Kun would actually be more willing to spend this time on magic research, because his magic power was too much, so much that he couldn’t use it up at all.

Although this may sound a bit Versailles, he does have too much magic power to use up.

To cast magic, a mage needs not only magic power, but also mental power. If the mental power is exhausted, no matter how much magic power he has, the mage cannot cast any magic.

General magicians suffer from too little magic power, because mental power can be improved through training and meditation, but it is more difficult to improve magic power.

It is the opposite for Kun. His magic power has been increasing crazily, but because he is too young, he is in an awkward situation of insufficient mental power.

So this time, Kun accidentally found a mental training method that suits him, so he was so happy that he finally didn't have to walk with a limp.

"Dawn and the guards haven't come back yet, right?"

Old Tate turned his head and looked in the direction of the Ever Dark Forest, and answered cautiously:

"They probably haven't come back yet. I've sent people to watch outside the village. Once there's any news about Dawn and the guards, we'll notify Blackstone Castle as soon as we get it."

"Master, don't worry too much. Dawn is a well-known warrior in the capital. If he didn't have some real skills, he wouldn't be able to be a combat master in the Marquis's mansion. Something must have delayed him. The Ever Dark Forest is dangerous, but he's just repairing the traps on the periphery. There are still guards, so even if there's any danger, it's estimated that they can't stop him."

Kun said "um" lightly.

He knows Dawn's strength. He's one of the best among the great warriors in the capital, but the Ever Dark Forest is different from other places after all. It was formerly the core area of ​​the Elf Dynasty - the Eternal Forest!

In fact, a thousand years ago, the entire Northern Territory was the Eternal Forest. The "Black Mountain" in the Forbidden Scorched Earth, which was only scorched earth and half a wooden stake, was the sacred tree worshipped by the former Elf Dynasty, the Mother Tree of Life.

Overnight, the sacred tree was destroyed along with the powerful Elf Dynasty that once ruled this continent, and the Mother Tree of Life was burned down.

At the same time, the entire Mother Tree of Life was surrounded by a terrible magic storm. There was no vitality, no grass, and only endless undead skeletons wandered in it day and night.

The Ever Dark Forest was the "small piece" left by the fire that burned down the entire huge forest in the Northern Territory, the Eternal Forest. The so-called Rich Territory is actually a "buffer zone" sandwiched between the Forbidden Scorched Earth and the Ever Dark Forest.

The kingdom legend says that there are powerful creatures such as dragons and Titans living in the Ever Dark Forest. Anyway, anyone who has set his sights on this ancient forest will not have a good end.

The seventh king of the Dansu Kingdom heard that the heart of a dragon could prolong human life, so he once poured half of his national strength and 100,000 troops into the place, but in the end, not even a wave of water splashed, and even his own life was lost.

Since then, the Ever Dark Forest has become a forbidden area like the Forbidden Scorched Earth, and no one dares to propose to cultivate this ancient "treasure". Even the fertile land of Fengzao Territory is not welcomed by the nobles of the kingdom and is regarded as an ominous place.

After all, at least half of the 100,000 troops at the time were private soldiers gathered by the noble lords of the kingdom. Not only the royal family, but also they suffered heavy losses, otherwise it would be another matter what the royal family's surname is now.

"Notify them, let the people in the Jade Heart be more vigilant tonight, and strengthen the guards tonight. Forget it, there are not many people to begin with. Let them not sleep tonight. I always have a bad feeling."

Old Tate's face also became solemn, "Understood. I will notify them now."

Although his young master is not one of those mysterious astrologers and cannot predict the future, a wizard with strong mental power will faintly sense the coming of a crisis. This is something that everyone on the mainland knows. No one will ignore the danger warning of a great wizard.

Old Tate bowed to Kun, then turned around and strode away.

Kun did not say a few more words to Tate, just watched him leave, because it was a complete waste of words.

If Kun said seven points, Old Tate would do ten points. If Kun said ten points, Old Tate would do twelve or even fifteen points.

Although Old Tate did not meet the normal standards for nobles to choose a butler because of his background, Kun felt that there was no one in the world who was more suitable to be his butler than Old Tate.

But Old Tate was not Kun's steward. He refused it himself because he was afraid that other nobles would look down on their young master because he was a horse servant steward, even though Kun didn't care about it.

Although Old Tate was not Kun's steward, Kun had no intention of setting up a new steward. People in the castle also called Old Tate the steward because everyone knew that Old Tate was Kun's steward.

This was the fact tacitly acknowledged by the lord.

After nightfall, the purple moon hung high in the sky. Because of the few clouds and the lavender moonlight, the visibility tonight was quite good. The Jade Heart Village was quiet.

"Crack~"

The torch erected at the entrance of the village exploded a spark and then went out.

Wearing a somewhat loose animal skin armor, Nia and another soldier of the security group were on duty.

According to the lord's order, not only she, but also other soldiers of the security group were on duty in various places in the village. Unless the suddenly missing Sheriff Dawn and the lord's guards returned safely, they would have to stand guard all night.

There are two entrances to the Emerald Heart Village, one connecting to the lord's Blackstone Castle, and the other is this, which is also the main gate for villagers to enter and exit the village.

The Plenty Territory is fertile and dangerous. Only natives like her know how dangerous it is here.

Even though everyone knows that food can be found in the forest, everyone would rather go hungry than go to the dark forest in the winter, which is so bare. Prey like them is too conspicuous, and it would be difficult to encounter a wild beast. Return safely.

Because it is often harassed by wild beasts, the village is surrounded by wooden fences. Of course, those wooden fences are only slightly fake. Not to mention dangerous monsters, even some large wild beasts may not be able to stop them.

But that was all in the past. Now the fence around the village has been strengthened by the lord's order with felled cold fir trees, and traps have been set up around the village.

Everyone in the village can finally sleep peacefully without having to worry about their throats being bitten by wild beasts that sneak in while asleep.

Unlike the former guardsmen of the security team, who had to work hard all day and had to be on duty at night. They had complaints but didn't dare to say anything. Nia didn't complain at all and was on duty more seriously than anyone else.

When she was very young, her father was killed by a monster that came out of the forest while farming, and her mother was bitten into the trachea by a mouse in her sleep. Because of these experiences, Nia every day The first time I slept, I was very light and would wake up at the slightest movement.

Although she didn't say it, Nia was actually very grateful to the lord in her heart.

Master Dao En said that her talent is very strong and she should not stay in a small place like Fengrao Territory. If she has the opportunity in the future, she should go out and travel to Dansu Kingdom, especially the Royal Capital. There are many masters there, but only the strong and constant ones Through competition, strength will gradually increase instead of remaining complacent.

Nia doesn't think she will stay in the Harvest Territory forever, but before leaving here, she doesn't mind contributing her own strength to the lord.

Looking at the dark road in the distance, Nia couldn't help but feel worried.

The person sent to repair the trap has lost contact for a day for no reason. The only good news is that no body has been found so far.

She knew very well how powerful Master Dawn was. She was worried about Joel, a fool who had not even cultivated a trace of fighting spirit. The Lord's Guards were all advanced warriors, and only Joel and Ledo were The two newly joined aborigines are the weakest and cannot even be considered trainee warriors. If they are really in danger, these two people will be the first to die.

Stupid guy, please don't die.
