The Law of Food Raising - 8

Chapter 8 - Abbey

Wei Chen arranged for them to stay in Xincheng Mansion and listened to many complaints along the way.

To them, Kavos is indeed a remote place with inconvenient transportation, old cities, backward clothing, lack of food, turbid air, incomplete equipment, underdeveloped technology, and no network for fun and communication.

Almost as soon as they entered Kavos, the faces of the ladies changed. They came with a mission, and they did not hesitate to sacrifice their beauty in order to take over Kavos in the future. However, when they saw the actual situation in Kavos with their own eyes, they couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Even being the wife of a nouveau riche in the Royal City is better than being the lord's wife of Kavos!

People who have never lived in the Royal City will not understand the difference between the two. It is simply the difference between the era of technological civilization and the primitive world.

Samus was too lazy to pay attention to them. He even skipped the polite reception and left everything to Wei Chen to arrange.

The ladies in the royal city were naturally even more dissatisfied. They sent people to inquire about Samus' itinerary, and decided to block people while he was out of the mansion for inspection.

It was a beautiful and sunny day. The ladies had booked a hotel in advance and gathered in the lobby on the top floor to wait for the target to appear.

"Look, it's a wind leopard, he must be here." A young lady pointed in a certain direction and shouted.

All the ladies looked over there together, and saw a sturdy man riding a leopard calmly, with short hair dancing freely in the wind, sharp features, a pair of eagle eyes slightly raised, with a bit of coldness and arrogance. Under the open collar, a body of bronzed skin is exposed. The muscles are strong and, covered with complicated vine patterns. It is s*xy, strong, and wild.

The ladies exclaimed in unison, with a flash of light in their eyes.

Samus looked down at the women blocking the way in front of him with an unswerving expression.

"Your Excellency Samus." The leading woman saluted him and said, "I am Abbey of the Bran family. It is an honor to meet you."

"Is something wrong?" Samus asked coldly, with no intention of getting off his mount.

Abbey raised her chin: "Sir, you are a descendant of the ancient royal family. Don't you even understand the most basic etiquette?"

Samus sneered at the pretentious etiquette and said impatiently: "If it's okay, don't delay my schedule."

"Wait a minute." Seeing that Samus was about to leave, Abbey quickly stopped him, "We have come all the way, but Your Excellency avoids us. It is too unkind. Your Excellency, I came to Kavos not only to meet with Your Excellency. The marriage also has another purpose, which is to grow edible plants for Kavos as a cultivator."

As soon as these words came out, the people watching around were in an uproar. Kavos has applied for planting rights and cultivation technology for many years without success. Now that Wangcheng has sent a cultivator, it is undoubtedly exciting news.

Moreover, this woman is also the marriage partner of their lord. Once the marriage is finalized, it means that Kavos will have his own breeder for decades to come.

Samus noticed the reaction of the people around him, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. If the marriage proposal had been put forward before he was betrayed, maybe he would agree for Kavos's future, but now, it's just a joke. The new nobles in the Royal City had no idea what they were planning.

This woman is quite scheming, and she found support for herself with just one sentence. If he directly drives her away, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among his people.

"Bai Dong," Samus said to Bai Dong beside him, "escort these ladies to Xincheng Mansion, I will be there shortly."

"Yes." Bai Dong jumped off his wind leopard and saluted Abbey, "Beautiful lady, please come with me."

Samus stopped lingering, pulled the reins, turned around and ran towards the lord's mansion.

In Courtyard No. 3 of the Lord's Mansion, Hua Duo is studying new wild plants. The plant varieties Wei Chen collected were all edible. Although she liked them very much, growing edible plants was cumbersome and required regular fertilization, so their promotion was slow. Moreover, after testing, low-level edible plants will suffer a decline in quality after two harvests without the nourishment of spiritual energy, and the production of spiritual energy cannot meet her requirements. As a result, they need to be cultivated repeatedly, which is very troublesome.

Hua Duo thought of the golden ball (dandelion) she saw in the ruined city before. It was also E-level and had a high success rate in cultivation. Importantly, once successfully established, there is no need to worry about planting as it will spread naturally. As long as there is wind and a suitable growing environment, by the time the first golden balls mature, their seeds can spread throughout Kavos.

In an environment with negative spiritual values, the key is to accumulate a little and make a little more. The promotion of edible plants requires a lot of labor and is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so it is necessary to cultivate some plants with low edible value but good spreadability.

Such plants include rushes, thistles, hyacinths, cornflowers, lantana, ivy, water hyacinth, ivy, etc. Of course, these plants may not all be found on Thuran, and their names may also be different. Hua Duo planned to make a simple record of these plants and give it to Wei Chen to collect.

When Samus walked in, he happened to see the girl lying on the table, drawing something intently. The sunlight outside the window gently brushed over her exquisite body, as if covering her with a layer of gauze, demure and warm.

The annoyance in his heart disappeared instantly, and what was left was softness. Samus walked lightly and approached Hua Duo to watch her draw.

Samus was surprised to find that the girl's drawing skills were very good, with delicate lines, complete composition, and neat strokes.

When she stopped, Samus started to praise: "The painting is very good. Is this... amber chrysanthemum?"

After a pause, he saw several plant patterns painted beside him. After looking at them one by one, he asked hesitantly: "Are these the plants you want to cultivate?"

Hua Duo smiled and nodded, sorting out her results with satisfaction.

"Wait a minute." Samus turned around and walked into his study, took out a few books from it, handed them to Hua Duo and said, "This is the plant atlas of Thuran, which contains about a thousand plant species. Whatever you want to grow, you can search in it.”

So, she painted all morning, but it was all unnecessary?

Hua Duo held the book with a depressed look on her face.

Samus was secretly amused and touched her head: "Painting is also very interesting."

Stop talking! Your comfort is anything but pleasant!

"Okay." Samus took the towel from the maid and said while wiping Hua Duo's hands, "Follow me to Xincheng Mansion, stay by my side and don't run around."

Xincheng Mansion is mainly used to entertain foreign guests. Samus rarely handles internal affairs in Xincheng Mansion.

The two walked into Xincheng Mansion, and Samus said to Hua Duo: "Duoduo, go to the back room and wait for me. I'll be back in a moment."

He doesn’t want his girl to come into contact with irrelevant people. Those women are not easy to mess with at first glance.

Hua Duo followed the guard and left obediently, not knowing why Samus called her here. Is it to prevent the parasitic vines from triggering? Since getting Grapes, even without the use of inhibitors, the number of his attacks has become less and less. It is definitely no problem to be stable for two or three days. It seems that there is no need to follow him anytime and anywhere...

After Hua Duo left his sight, Samus stepped into the hall. The ladies who had been waiting impatiently immediately stood up and saluted him.

Samus is different from the polite men in the Royal City. He combines the arrogance of the royal family with the wildness of the warrior, and is full of special charm that makes people fascinated.

Samus sat on the first seat and glanced at the woman in the hall. This time, the royal city sent five candidates for marriage, with Abbey from the Bran family being the highest.

Seeing that they were all dressed up beautifully, Samus was thinking of his Duoduo. It seemed that since she entered the lord's mansion, she had always been wearing the clothes of a maid. She was simple and plain, and had never asked for anything. Probably eating delicious food is the greatest happiness in the world to her.

There was a smile in Samus' eyes, and he absentmindedly dealt with the group of women with ulterior motives in front of him.

"Miss Bran," Samus said, "I just want to know one thing. What are your specific plans for the breeding and cultivation of Kavos?"

Marriage is just an excuse, everyone knows it, there is no need to waste time.

Abbey replied: "Kavos lacks technical talents and does not have advanced equipment. I can only start with the simplest small-scale planting. Breeding technology requires a certain biological foundation. Without the needed technology and conditions, I can't help..."

"It doesn't matter, you can list all the conditions." Samus said in a positive tone, "As long as you can list it, I can do it."

In fact, he didn't really believe in Abbey's ability. According to his information, there were about 600 known cultivators of different arts, and the files of these people were still on his desk. But Abbey's name was not among them. She is a young lady from the Bran family, with a noble birth. If she had the status of a breeder, she should have been famous long ago. Why was there no news at all in advance? And with the cautiousness and stinginess of the Royal City, how could it be possible to let a cultivator enter Kavos?

Abbey was silent for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it will take me a lot of time to sort it out by myself."

Samus stared at her with deep eyes. Deliberately stalling for time. What do you want to get from Kavos?

"Okay, you guys will stay in Xincheng Mansion for the time being. If you need anything, let me know and I will handle it as appropriate." Samus didn't want to stay any longer and stood up to leave.

"Your Excellency," Abbey walked up to Samus, straightened her proud breasts, and said meaningfully, "You won't invite us to dine together?"

"I think my butler will prepare a sumptuous dinner for you." Samus replied, "If you need additional entertainment, just ask. Although Kavos is far less prosperous than the Royal City, it does not have a "countryside" atmosphere. I hope you all have a good time, excuse me."

Samus walked around Abbey to leave.

Abbey was so angry that she stamped her feet. This man was so evil. She thought she had shown him enough courtesy and respect, but he didn't appreciate it. She is not only a noble, but also a cultivator. Could it be that the cultivation technology related to Kavos' future cannot get his attention?

"Abbey, Samus is more unruly than the rumors say. No wonder the leaders of the Royal City get so angry when they talk about him." A red-haired woman walked up to Abbey and said with dissatisfaction.

"It's just that we came all the way, and he didn't even look at us." Another woman also complained.

"Come on, I have to let him have dinner with us today." Abbey raised her head and walked out of the hall.

The other women all showed excited expressions and followed closely behind.

The author has something to say: To explain the "different skills", the magic set in this article is actually "mental power". Magicians have mental power several times higher than ordinary people, and mental power can enhance the five senses, condense coercion, strengthen the body, control elements, etc.

According to different expertise and mental attributes, they are divided into magic cultivators, magic doctors, magic warriors, etc.
