Chapter 219 The Ice Age is Coming
Katie is only 28 years old this year. She has already dug out six sets of main meridians. After successfully rebuilding her fighting spirit, she is very likely to be promoted to a great knight.
"In this way, Eric, Grove, Katie, I have three great knights, and I am four." Russell squinted his eyes, leaned on the unicorn Polly, and silently thought about the future development.
If the four great knights can all contract fantasy beasts, they will be four fantasy beast knights.
After fighting on the snowfield for three to five years, we should be able to harvest a lot of ice soul beads for Xiao Menglong to devour.
I don't know if this can revive Xiao Menglong's true body and erupt from the volcano.
Russell looked at the sky through the bamboo leaves: "The growth period of the dragon is very long. I am now one step ahead to cultivate the fantasy beast knight and seize the ice soul beads to feed the ice cream. Maybe I can ride the dragon earlier to create my own country."
In the next few days, the black-waisted snake manor was bustling.
In order to help the newly bought serfs integrate into the territory as quickly as possible, Russell required each village to hold a bonfire party, so that young serfs of both sexes could have the opportunity to communicate with each other, and those who liked each other could get married as soon as possible and start a family.
Occasionally, Russell would appear at the bonfire party in person to have fun with the people.
As a result, after just a few days, a large number of young serfs chose to get married - they were all serfs in the manor, so they did not need to pay taxes. Only when serfs from the manor married serfs from other places, especially when they married out, would they be taxed.
While busy integrating the serfs, Russell also often patrolled the entire territory to inspect the progress of various construction projects.
Under the management of several pig herder technicians, the newly adult black piglets at the Wujin Pig Farm have successfully made several golden black sows pregnant.
At the Bear Bee Farm, the beekeeper Kenny with a big bee beard finally cultivated several queen bees and successfully expanded the size of the bee colony.
Now that the local nectar source for bumble bees is insufficient, Russell specially asked the knight squire James, who served as the captain of the territory's transport team, to escort bearded Kenny out to raise bumble bees throughout the entire Youguang River Valley.
At the clam pond, Jimmy was changed by Russell to a clam farmer to continue to expand the scale of pearl river clams.
At the same time, a serf who was good at catching fish, nicknamed Rondo, was appointed as a fish farmer to raise fish in the lower reaches of the Youguang River. Rondo, the cement loach, was a resident of the Cave Village. He had previously raised fish in the Xiangshui River Cave using cold springs and had certain fish farming skills.
In addition.
Russell also gave Mrs. Sharby, the head of Lentil Village, a task, which was to explore greenhouse vegetable cultivation in the ice age.
Mrs. Sharby and her husband, the disabled vegetable husband Sharby, were both good at growing vegetables. The residents of Lentil Village also grew a lot of vegetables, so they could be mobilized to explore greenhouse vegetables or vegetables that could be eaten in winter.
For example, vegetables such as bean sprouts and chives can all be grown.
At the same time, Russell also gave Charles an order, that is, to encourage serfs as much as possible to raise more poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese.
As for livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep, they should also be gradually grown.
"If the children in the territory don't eat more meat and eggs, how can they breed the seeds of fighting spirit? If the seedlings are not good, how can they train knights in the future?" This is Russell's idea. He needs a group of powerful subordinates to follow him to build meritorious careers.
Even if a country is established in the future, manpower is needed to govern the territory. Starting now is the best choice.
In this way, time passed in a flash, November turned over, and December came.
The hot summer season has passed, and the temperature began to gradually drop.
At the round table of great scholars in the Red Castle, a group of great scholars calculated based on this year's warm land climate and announced the results-the warm season may end at the end of December, and no later than mid-January of the following year, when the snow demon will sweep again.
The cold is about to come again.
Of course, the arrival of the ice age does not mean that snow will fall immediately. The ice age often lasts about four months, and only in the coldest two months will warm places snow and freeze.
This day.
Russell stood on the lawn in front of the cigar compound, swinging his fine steel sword constantly. After practicing a set of "Yaoguang Sword Technique", he began to practice "Yingyan Shura Sword Technique". Sword Qi shot around him like waving a cuff.
Swinging a sword forward, with the help of the sword moves, Dou Qi suddenly opened a small branch meridian.
"Huh!"
Putting away the sword and standing still, Russell exhaled a turbid breath: "Another small meridian has been opened, and it is not far from the Great Zhoutian! At most another half a month, by the end of this year, I will be able to connect the meridians into one and be promoted to a great knight!"
From the beginning of September to the beginning of December, a full three months have passed, and he has almost never missed the morning and evening classes of Dou Qi practice every day.
Hard work pays off, and he gradually reached the realm of a great knight.
Wiping the sweat off his face, Russell did not stop to rest, but shouted to a distance: "Grove, come and fight!"
Big stupid bear Grove has become the captain of the manor guard knight, so he practices with Russell every day.
Upon hearing this, he immediately left the four knights and came to Russell: "Yes."
A moment later, the two fought in the middle of the lawn, but it was obvious that Russell had the upper hand.
The reason is very simple. Grove is indeed a great knight, but his swordsmanship is much weaker, and his moves are far less sophisticated than Russell's. But after all, he is a great knight, with integrated meridians, condensed fighting spirit, and especially fighting spirit and round strength all over his body. It is not easy for Russell to defeat him.
The two of them were going back and forth, with Russell taking advantage of the situation, but Grove relied on his fighting spirit and remained unmoved.
Until the end, Russell panted and jumped out of the battlefield: "That's it for today's battle. You are getting better and better at turtle tactics. If I don't get promoted to Grand Knight, it will be a little difficult to defeat you."
"My lord's swordsmanship is magical. If I try my best, I won't be able to hold on for long." Grove said truthfully.
This is the truth, and it is the truth.
Russell's superb swordsmanship alone can overwhelm Grove, not to mention he also has the two skills of Six Veins Divine Sword and Thorn Whip. A mere great knight is no match for him, even a fantasy beast knight can fight against him. Fight one or two.
Smiling, Russell said: "Cheer up too. I can't feel your desire to fight every time we compete."
"Haha." Grove scratched the back of his head.
"I asked you to attend more bonfire parties. Why, you haven't found the girl you like yet?"
Grove looked a little embarrassed: "No."
"It seems that the quality of the girls in the territory is not good. There is no girl who can catch your eye. I will ask Charles to arrange for you to go out more and maybe you can meet him." Russell hopes that Grove can become popular as soon as possible.
Don't always lie flat.
It is difficult for a follower who is lying down to play a big role. He is not active in cultivation and fighting. How can he help him make achievements in the future.
Grover smiled innocently.
Russell pointed to a female knight on the other side and said: "Katie has been eager to try for a long time. Grove, you and Katie will have a good competition."
"yes."
Since Katie successfully rebuilt her fighting spirit, Russell asked her to come over and practice together every morning, hoping to cultivate her.
There are indeed not many female great knights, and even fewer female fantasy beast knights.
But it would be cool if he had a female Phantom Beast Knight follower under his command. Maybe he could inspire more girls to practice fighting spirit and achieve success in the future.
