Narant didn't know that a big trouble was about to brew near his territory. After reading Stella's letter, he also wrote a reply in which he expressed his longing for the tulip flowers and asked her to do the same.
be careful.
At the same time, he took out half of the ten sweet potatoes left in the warehouse and asked two messengers to take them back to Tulip Castle.
In the next few days, Nalant continued to practice hard, and occasionally took a few lucky daughters of his family to enjoy the snow scenery.
The snow has been falling for three days, and after three days the entire territory became covered with snow. If we put aside the invasion of dark creatures that will come in a month, it really means that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest.
"Ding, the system side task of ensuring that the serfs stay warm through the winter has been completed, and the task reward of new plants has been distributed!"
After dinner that day, Nalant was about to get up when a system reminder sounded in his mind.
"Finally completed? Mario is good, he completed the task three days ahead of schedule!" Nalant was naturally surprised when he heard this reminder.
Although the heavy snow has stopped today, according to the "well-informed natives" like Thomas, the sunny weather is only temporary, and it will definitely continue to snow after a while.
During the severe winter that occurs every eight years, basically the entire winter will be covered with half a meter of snow.
And now that the system prompts to complete the task, it means that the serfs in his territory will not freeze to death, at least not in large numbers, which also avoids the property loss of his lord.
"I don't know what the new plant rewarded by the system is!" Immediately, Nalant began to look forward to the reward of this mission, and walked towards the study while thinking.
"System, I want to draw a lottery!" After sitting down in the study, Nalant directly opened the system panel.
Now comes another free draw once a week.
Now that his energy points have been used up, this is the only way for him to quickly improve his strength before the next wave of main mission rewards are released.
"Huh? Affinity fruit?"
When the lottery panel opened, Narant looked towards the prize box above.
After this sweep, he immediately frowned slightly, because the affinity fruit appeared in the lottery options this time.
If this thing of affinity were placed in the past life, it would definitely be very useful. Whether it is socializing or talking about business, it will have a big effect.
But in this world, he, Narante, is a lord, so he has already eaten one affinity fruit, and he thinks it is enough.
After all, as a lord, in addition to affinity, majesty is also an essential temperament for ruling a territory. He was worried that eating too much would weaken his majesty.
"I hope my luck won't be so bad and I won't win this thing again. Even if you give me an agility fruit, it would be great!"
With this in mind, Narant directly clicked the lottery button.
And the lottery wheel started spinning immediately.
Under Nalant's gaze, the large turntable rotated for more than ten seconds and finally stopped slowly.
"Damn, I'm really afraid of something happening!" When the lottery came up, Narant immediately cursed.
The reason is simple, the affinity fruit he least wanted was drawn by him.
Cursing, Narant closed the lottery panel. The next moment he looked at the affinity fruit taken out from the panel, he wanted to throw it out the window.
"If I eat too much of this stuff, will the lord's majesty be weakened?"
"It's a pity that we are in this fantasy world. Otherwise, sir, if I had obtained it in my previous life, with the blessing of two affinity fruits, I would be a proper Sea King seed player."
After watching the Affinity Fruit complain for a moment with a look of disgust on his face, Nalant finally had no choice but to do anything.
"Let's eat it!"
If the system hadn't stipulated that these fruits couldn't be given away and transferred, Narant might have exchanged them for gold coins to get a good deal.
However, now I can only continue to eat.
Thinking like this, Nalant directly stuffed the affinity fruit into his mouth, followed by a wave of warmth, and then nothing happened.
The only thing worthy of praise is that it tastes as delicious as ever.
After leaving the study, Narant returned directly to the bedroom.
He had never returned to the bedroom so early before. In any case, he would sit in the study for a while and read the miscellaneous books or autobiographies of nobles in the study. Even if it was not nutritious, it was still a way to pass the time in this world.
But these days, since he obtained the magic meditation method, his 'nightlife' has become richer, and he practices meditation method without sleep every day.
Moreover, after practicing every night, I still eat it and it tastes great, which makes me feel more energetic!
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Narante closed the door and began to meditate.
Although these days of hard training have not allowed him to reach the threshold required to learn the magic of the first apprentice, it is not without success.
At this moment, in his body, in addition to the fighting spirit seeds, there was also a small drop of colorful water on the side, which was the magic power that he had absorbed into his body and gathered here.
Now the water droplets are the size of rice grains. According to the meditation method, as long as they gather to the size of soybeans, it will be enough to support the release of an apprentice spell. At that time, Nalant will start learning magic.
Putting aside all the thoughts in his mind, Nalant released his perception and headed towards the surrounding space.
Although the magic power is scarcer than the fighting spirit element, compared to the base number in the entire world, it is still endless.
After Nalant's body was integrated with the first ray of magic power, it became more attractive to other magic powers, so this time he waited for more than ten minutes before the first ray of magic power finally appeared.
"Hey, wait, what's behind that!"
However, when Nalant was about to control his perception to capture this first ray of magic, he suddenly discovered cross-dressing at the edge of his perception.
I saw that in addition to this first ray of magic power, there were four or five colorful light spots behind it, which were other magic powers.
Nalant has also been practicing for several days, and this is the first time he has seen such a thing.
Although after his body was integrated with magic power, the speed at which he attracted other magic powers became faster, but it was basically maintained at a rate of one ray every ten minutes.
In addition to the scarcity of magic elements in the world, this is because his magic talent is not a genius.
The higher the magic talent, the greater the attraction to magic, so it will naturally save more time to attract people.
This is also the difference between a magical genius and a magical one.
But what Nalant saw now was clearly not something his talent could have caused.
It takes more than ten minutes to attract five or six magic powers at the same time. This cultivation speed is probably no more than that of those magic geniuses, right?
"Is it because of good luck that there are so many magic elements around?"
Narant didn't think much about it. He was completely self-taught, so he could only use his knowledge to explain it.
He felt that this must be an accidental situation, so he immediately put aside his thoughts and began to carefully control his perception to introduce these magic powers into his body.
"It's so cool. No wonder everyone wants to be a genius. I attracted five or six rays of magic power at once, which is equivalent to more than an hour of my efforts in the past two days!"
Nalant smashed his mouth, some of it was filled with citric acid, and it was sour for those magic geniuses who had never been masked.
After finishing the calculation, Nalant continued to activate the perception to attract magic power. After more than ten minutes, the second wave of magic power appeared in his perception.
After counting the amount of this wave of magic power, Nalant couldn't help but be stunned.
"What's going on? Why are there five or six more strands? Could it be that the magic hair has relaxed?"
No wonder Nalant was so surprised. If the previous incident could still be considered an accident, this time it was definitely not an accident.
But Nalant couldn't figure out why the magic power he attracted suddenly increased tonight.
Logically speaking, there is only one way to increase the attraction power.
As long as the magic talent remains unchanged, only as the realm improves, the magic power attracted will increase. This is because as the mental power increases, the fluctuations caused by perception can spread farther, so it can attract more people.
Much magic.
But this is obviously different from Nalant's current situation. Although his mental power has increased, it is not possible to attract so much magic power.
So what will it be?
etc!
Suddenly, Nalant paused and thought of a possibility.
Affinity!
Magic talent is actually the affinity for magic power. As long as the affinity for magic power is high enough, it will naturally be easier to attract magic power, and the speed of cultivation will naturally be faster than that of ordinary people.
And Nalant just happened to draw an affinity fruit, and now this situation occurs.
"Hiss! Affinity has such an effect!" Nalant suddenly lost his composure.
I originally thought it was bronze, but I didn't expect this affinity fruit to be the king.
This is simply a snake oil fruit. Not only is it excellent in appearance, it is also helpful in cultivation.
"System, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you! I hope that there will be more such powerful magical fruits in the future!"
Narant immediately apologized to the system in his heart, and hoped that there would be more such "unsightly" fruits in the future.
If he could swallow three or five affinity fruits, let alone a magic genius, he would probably be nothing more than a magic monster.
Next, Nalant wasted no time and immediately controlled his perception to absorb all the second wave of magic power into his body.
Then came the third wave, the fourth wave...
Nalant's practice this night was already as good as the previous days' total, and he was getting closer and closer to being able to learn his first magic.
Time passed day by day for Narant, a fulfilling and diligent cultivator.
As the invasion date of the tide of dark creatures got closer, Nalant also began to make relevant arrangements.
Of course, there are not many tasks that can be assigned this time.
First of all, because there are too many dark creatures, the rain and dew can be evenly distributed in almost all his territory, so it is no longer possible to set up arrangements in advance where the dark creatures appear like the previous two times.
The second reason was that the heavy snow made the terrain more difficult to identify. Although he had nightmare predictions, this time the scene only flashed by, and the heavy snow cover made it blurry for him to see where the dark creatures appeared.
As a result, there are only two arrangements he made, that is, to evacuate the serfs from the territory in advance and evacuate them to a safe place.
Even if he really can't fight it by then, he won't have any worries because of it.
The second is to set up strong enough defenses outside the castle so that he can defend the castle and eliminate the dark creatures as much as possible.
These two items have been arranged by Nalant these days. For example, for the first item, although Nalant cannot announce the fact of the invasion of dark creatures yet, he has sent coolies to the grassland.
We plan to open a temporary gathering place there, set up simple tents, and then stockpile enough food and wood to allow the citizens of the territory to hide for three to five days.
