Chapter 84: The Lord's Wisdom
Chapter 84: The Lord's Wisdom
In the early morning sun, the young lord stood in the light, on a stone in front of him.
He looked at the densely packed citizens below him and announced:
"My dear people, I have good news for you. I have solved the problem of Sangling. I declare that Sanggu Territory has entered the next chapter. You will be able to raise silkworms soon."
"Great!"
“Sanggu can now raise silkworms!”
"The Baron is so great."
"My Lord, you are a great and wise man. We salute you!"
As the lord announced it himself, the hopes of the people were confirmed. They all smiled with joy, some even cried with joy, and they all cheered.
Finally, under the leadership of someone unknown, they half-knelt on the ground to pay high respect to the lord to show their support for him.
After years of suffering, Sanggu Territory finally welcomed a wise lord.
Looking at the smiling faces below, including the elderly, children, and young and middle-aged people, Ivan smiled knowingly. Although the time was short, he was still doing a good job as a lord.
If there is a subject called "Lord Studies", then the experience points will definitely increase a lot.
After the news was announced, the people waited for the lord to leave before slowly dispersing, smiling all the way back to their villages.
Solving the Sangling problem does not mean that things will get better immediately. There are still a series of things that need to be arranged, such as replanting mulberry trees. Each village has retained the original mulberry seeds.
"There is no need to buy mulberry seedlings from other places. The mulberry trees in Sanggu have been tested for hundreds of years and are excellent varieties. The mulberry leaves they produce are very suitable for raising silkworms." After returning to the castle, Reed and Paul pulled the others together to discuss the matter enthusiastically.
"You guys can arrange these things. I won't get involved." Ivan waved his hand. He had no interest in planting trees, nor did he know the magic to plant trees. Seeing that Jiushi was interested, he continued, "Come with me. I'll teach you some new knowledge."
Hearing his words, Jiushiti's face turned red, and she lowered her head and quickly followed him.
Ivan had considered it. Planting trees and raising silkworms in Sanggu would take time. If Jiushiti could make medicine skillfully, the territory would be able to get through the initial period well after he left, and the Giant Shield Mercenaries could also be transformed into a caravan.
The prerequisite is that Jiushiti's medicine refining technology has reached a certain level, has a higher medicine refining yield rate, and can refine a variety of medium-level medicines.
After going upstairs, Jiusiti said hesitantly, "Ivan, it's still daytime. Why don't we learn new knowledge at night?"
"Learn at night?" Ivan turned his head in confusion, and when he saw the blush on her face, he suddenly understood and was moved. "What are you thinking about all day? I mean to teach you about alchemy. The knowledge you want to learn can only be learned at night, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to get up during the day."
Thinking that there were only twenty days left before his departure, he reluctantly gave up the idea of teaching Jiushi other knowledge. At most, he could teach her an extra hour at night. As a pharmacist, he had plenty of ways to improve Jiushi's combat effectiveness.
Jiusiti responded, blushing and arguing, "I was talking about knowledge of alchemy, it was you who misunderstood, Lord."
Ivan laughed: "Same same, it's all new knowledge anyway." He turned around and continued to walk up the wooden stairs.
Jiushi stared at the figure in front of her, wondering how this person, who was the same age as her, could have so many tricks.
The two came to the alchemy room, and Ivan first taught her how to refine the Akagi Hemostatic Powder and corrected the inappropriateness of her previous refining techniques. In fact, some things can be realized so easily as long as someone points them out.
Now, the alchemy room is divided into two compartments. After giving her some instructions, Ivan let her figure it out on her own and returned to the other side.
Ivan had the bat secret potion, the calming potion, the mountain monster potion, and the giant frog secret potion. The mountain monster potion was given by Jiusiti, which was the nutritional potion recipe she gave to Old Orr. Compared with Toins's nutritional potion, the mountain monster potion was inferior, but it was not without value. On the contrary, it was worth a lot. It could enhance the effect of the breathing secret potion, and the medicinal materials used were easy to buy.
These potions need to be refined, the two giant frog potions need to be perfected, and the collected breathing methods need to be studied. He has a lot of things to do right now.
After dealing with Sang Ling's problem, he can devote more energy to refining medicine.
After a while, a big moth fluttered towards the alchemist and turned into a wood-colored silkworm with a snap. Following it were other smaller moths, all of which fell around.
"Mumble."
The fat wood silkworm tried to raise its head and made a tiny sound, as if complaining that someone made it fly so far.
Ivan took out a piece of mulberry wood from under the workbench and placed it on the table. The moths, like fish seeing water, threw themselves on the fresh piece of mulberry wood without any reserve, and disappeared silently on the bark, leaving the fat wood silkworms crawling slowly outside.
"You are just lazy and picky about food. You are small but have a lot of problems." Ivan put the wood silkworm on the mulberry wood and told it not to play disappearing, which made the wood silkworm feel aggrieved.
This fat wood silkworm is none other than the culprit that has brought disaster to Sangling. It is the queen and ruler of the entire insect swarm. After the insect-control technique was successfully used last night and it was released, it easily quelled the turmoil in Sangling.
After Ivan skillfully divided the knight-level bat secret medicine into three parts, poured it from the glass dish into a glass bottle, and turned it into three bat secret medicines, he had the energy to take care of the wood silkworm queen.
"Ask your guards to come out and show me how to spin silk."
After successfully performing the insect-controlling technique, there was a weak mental connection between him and the wood silkworm queen, and he could convey commands through mental power, but it required a certain amount of mental power.
As the ruler of the insect colony, the wood silkworm queen has a certain degree of intelligence and will call out other silkworms upon receiving orders.
On a piece of mulberry wood, a group of silkworms were wriggling their bodies, busy as they were for a long time without even farting.
Ivan understood: "Forget it, it seems that you can't spin silk, so what other skills do you have?"
Led by the Queen, the wood silkworms transformed into smaller moths, flying back and forth in front of Ivan, showing a speed far exceeding that of the water midges. After transforming into moths, their bodies became as hard as iron, but it was not visible from the outside.
"anything else?"
When a moth lives on a glass bottle, its body color becomes the same as the glass; when a moth lives on a tin can, its body color turns black.
Afterwards, the moth turned into a silkworm again and burrowed into the mulberry tree. The mulberry tree dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye and turned into a dead tree.
The wood silkworm queen demonstrated her ability. Her body squirmed and split into a young silkworm, as if to say that this was her ability to reproduce the swarm of insects.
After watching the wood silkworm demonstration, Ivan had a comprehensive understanding of them: "I will give you a name. From now on, you will be called 'Swift Wood Silkworm', and your name will be 'Silkworm Queen'. Come to the Silkworm Queen, make them obedient and accept my control."
The ruler is the ruler. With the support of the Queen Silkworm, Ivan easily performed the insect control technique and successfully controlled five swift wood silkworms.
Then, he skillfully condensed spring buds and planted them into the body of the swift wood silkworm.
Ivan has more expectations for this group of swift silkworms that can destroy 1,200 acres of mulberry forest. Perhaps the swift silkworms, which have strong vitality, can bring a surprise.
