Olga is patiently checking the boundaries of the territory.
Beside her, members of the former Papal Knights and current combat team were holding magic instruments distributed by Sigrid, carefully confirming the operation of the warning circle.
Since the dominant vampire race sent people to compensate for the loss of the territory and took away the rice bugs imprisoned in the small black room, the vampires who were still active nearby immediately disappeared.
Maybe it has something to do with the vigorous "bounty" in Broken Gold City, but everyone is more willing to believe that it is the appearance of the nuns in black and the Papal Knights that convinced the vampires that the Theocracy controls this area.
Sigrid was happy to see this harmonious scene, so she specially asked the nuns in black and the Papal Knights to go out for a few rounds. As expected, the vampires disappeared even more completely.
The absence of foreign aggression for the time being allowed the reclamation and construction in the territory to proceed very smoothly.
The slimes that were lost in the vampire invasion began to divide after a period of recuperation. The birth of seventeen little slimes attracted everyone's attention. They are only the size of a fist and can be held in the palm of the hand. The soft sticky touch can
Capturing Lu Yu and others will naturally also capture these newcomers to the Theocracy who are generally young.
Compared to the older generation of slimes that need to develop a juicy taste, this batch of baby slimes are destined to be the guardian monsters in the territory.
Valen found Sigrid.
"According to observations, the reproduction method of the slimes I brought back is splitting, so I need some slimes with other reproduction methods."
Lu Yu and the others were not at home, and Sigrid was extremely busy every day facing a bunch of new people who were just getting acquainted with the environment. When she heard Valen's words, she subconsciously asked: "Why?"
"The first is to enrich the types of slimes in the territory. It takes a long time for split slimes to gradually transform into other types of slimes under the cultivation of a specific environment. Well...this is what we can see from the scroll.
"
"I remember you don't know how to read."
"Olga learned it and read it to me... Don't worry, I'm studying hard."
Sigrid encouraged: "Well, I'm looking forward to it... please continue."
"Some of the people sent back by the lords are very good at farming, planting, and animal husbandry, but they have no experience in raising monsters like slimes, so I can only explore on my own... Well, do you want to give it a try?"
Sigrid, who was used to Varun's jumping topics, took the glass of green juice and took a sip.
"The smell of grass, earth, and a bit of orange-like sweetness are mixed in... such a complex taste." Sigrid finished the description with difficulty.
In the past, she would only give a brief evaluation of "drinking bad".
"The taste of the juice has changed, but its unique 'flavor' is a bit too obvious. Maybe I need more attempts, more practice, in general... I need more slimes to serve as experimental samples, imagine
With just a tap on the heads of these slimes, you can get a drink that looks like wine, and the taste may be more mellow and varied... Even Lord Lu Yu is looking forward to it."
Sigrid had to affirm Valen's rigor and motivation. She said: "The members of the combat team will go to the southern coast of the territory with Benlong tomorrow to pick up a batch of goods. You can follow them and search along the way.
"
"It would be more convenient to buy domesticated slimes. I still need to tame wild slimes. This batch of jungle slimes took me almost two years."
Sigrid covered her forehead and sighed: "This will have to wait until our three 'reliable' lords come back to decide. There is no slime ranch industry in the city-states surrounding Broken Gold City."
Valen left with regret. He could understand the helplessness of Sigrid, the acting lord.
Today's meatloaf was particularly sweet, and Sigrid nodded frequently after taking just one bite.
The two chefs, who were young, had no foundation, and whose skills were favored by Laurent, received unanimous praise from everyone as soon as they arrived in the territory.
In the past, their craftsmanship in the Papal Tower was not as good as those of the old masters, and they could only be responsible for the food rations of the nuns and servants in black. Now they are responsible for managing the food of more than a hundred people, and their sense of responsibility makes them get up early every day and stay late every day.
And their abilities are indeed good. Whether it is pasta or hot dishes, they have won consistent praise from everyone.
This was the only benefit of acting as an acting lord. Following Lu Yu, Sigrid also started to be a little picky about what she ate. From barbecuing herself, to cooking to test the waters, to studying in her spare time, she became more and more aware of how to organize the food.
Good is a great knowledge.
As Lu Yu said, if you just want to eat enough, any food is the same, but if you want to eat well, most people have not yet started, even him.
Sigrid still doesn't understand what Lu Yu's hometown is like, which can make him have such a tricky mouth. When he is not picky, he will eat everything. When he is picky, he is only willing to cook by himself... and even plans to cook according to his own taste.
Make seasoning.
Before I had eaten, the nun Zi Xing in black came running over.
"Zixing, let's eat some together. Today's meatloaf is very delicious."
Zixing, who has been accustomed to living here, was not polite. He picked up the meat pie in the basket and took a bite: "There is a lack of stone and wood for construction. I heard that the lords previously prohibited cutting down surrounding trees and mining stone, but it can be done over long distances."
It's very difficult to move, so we want to borrow Benlong to use it."
"Stupid Dragon will go out with the battle group tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow...can't magic solve the problem?"
"The speed is too slow. Didn't you say before that you should speed up the pace and complete the living area as soon as possible so that everyone does not have to rest crowded in the first and second floors of the unfinished castle?"
"Okay... okay, it seems that we need to do some statistics on the personnel information in the territory." Sigrid sighed after sending Purple Star away. This thought was another thing to deal with.
Before Sigrid could leave her territory to go shopping in Broken Gold City, the people from the livestock team approached her again.
"Dividing the scope of livestock farming?" Sigrid's head was a bit big.
These former nuns in black adapted perfectly to the change in status and explained to Sigrid respectfully and seriously.
The temporary pasture for cattle, sheep and pigs has been decided, but the guardrails and the demarcation of the pasture area still need to be decided by Sigrid. This is an issue involving the scale of breeding, and this is something Sigrid cannot decide.
Who knows which kind of meat the three lords of our family like to eat more?
Sigrid said apologetically: "We can only maintain the free-range state for the time being. Let's work hard for a while. We can solve the problem when our three 'reliable' lords come back."
The nun in black covered her mouth and snickered, seemingly getting over the news of Laurende's death.
A few days ago, everyone in the territory asked Sigrid to give them half a day to mourn Laurent. Sigrid naturally agreed. Seeing these people kneeling on the ground, crying or feeling sad, Sigrid stroked Laurent.
Lund gave him the dagger, and he felt a little heavy.
Sigrid, who also did not believe in God, recalled Laurent's appearance and made a rare prayer for him to an unknown god that existed.
"Lady Sigrid!"
The people trotting over were two craftsmen. Due to the shortage of manpower in the construction, they had been helping out recently. On the contrary, there was no progress in the stove in their own craftsman's shop.
"Lord Sigrid, I will purchase the forging tools from you... I have promised you for a long time."
Sigrid took out the brochure and took a look at it, and apologized repeatedly: "I will help you pay attention immediately. By the way, do you have any good recommendations?"
"Codezoun!" they both said in unison.
Due to contact with a large number of alien races, there are more active adventurers in Codezon than in Sligo.
Someone has a demand, and the demand will promote the improvement and progress of technology. Therefore, the equipment and tools of Codzoun have always been loved by all races in Mera Continent. Even foreign races will buy them through trade routes. Sometimes adventurers in the wild
You can even see the corpses of aliens holding Codezonn crafts...
Their territory is located in the southwest corner of the entire Mela, while Codezon is located on the east side of the Four Powers region.
"It's a bit far..."
“But the quality is guaranteed.”
"Okay, I'll write it down for you. Unfortunately, this is another matter that needs to wait for the lord's decision. I can't do it for you..."
Sigrid misses Lu Yu and the others very much. They left happily, but it was too torture to be left with a bunch of problems that she couldn't decide on!
"Come back, please come back quickly!" Sigrid kept shouting in her heart.
Perhaps because of her sincerity, Sigrid heard a burst of cheers from the territory just after checking the No. 2 warehouse where the food was stored.
Three Pegasus appeared in the distant sky, that familiar look... Sigrid burst into tears!
"We're home, we're home!" Lulu skipped back to her room as soon as she got off her horse, closed the door, and shut herself up... Oh, she started to develop medicines.
But she quickly ran out again because she suddenly remembered that Sera and Lu Yu prohibited her from making dangerous attempts indoors.
The white wolf slowly walked over with a bunch of cubs. He sniffed Lu Yu's scent, as if he wanted to strengthen the already weak impression, and Lu Yu hugged his big head and rubbed it hard.
After returning, he saw that everything in the territory was prosperous, orderly, and much more lively than before. Lu Yu felt extremely peaceful, and a smile spread all over his face, making the corners of his mouth rise.
"Well done, Sigrid." Sera praised.
Sigrid let out a long sigh: "You are finally back. Come back and work for me as soon as possible."
"I know, I know, but at least let us solve one important thing first." Lu Yu said before entering the room with Sera Lulu.
The radiant incarnation is already waiting here.
Sera handed her the scroll that Laurend had given to Guangwu, the head of the radiance incarnation, and motioned for her to open it and take a look.
Confused, she opened it and read it carefully, then was slightly startled.
The scroll tells Guangwu two things, one is to cooperate with Lu Yu to let his ashes leave the theocracy.
The second thing is to ask Guangwu to remove her from the glorious incarnation.
"Do you understand what he means?" Sierra asked.
The Brilliant Incarnation half-knelt to the three of them: "I really feel the will of Pope Laurent... Being homeless, I naturally lost the name of the Brilliant Incarnation and the corresponding code name."
"Maybe it's time you introduced your original name to us."
"Mi Lei." said the incarnation of radiance.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, then stepped forward to help this special glorious incarnation who could be easily removed.
Mireille is the product of the union between her father and the Siren. Although she has the blood of the Siren and joins the ranks of radiant incarnations at Laurend's suggestion, this tolerance and openness will disappear with his departure.
