Next, Chris spent four days raising the vine to a height of more than five meters.
If we continue at this rate, in another month or so, we will be able to grow the ghost tendon to its full size.
If it were in the wild, it would be absolutely impossible without five or six years.
But now, thanks to Linda, a plant magician, and the irrigation of dragon blood, the growth rate has increased dozens of times.
Chris used Dragon Roar to try to cut a vine, but it only made a shallow mark without cutting it off.
"Very good, I guess even the peak level three knights won't be able to break free easily." Chris was very satisfied with this.
Without injecting demon fighting energy, the sharpness of the dragon roar can barely match a third-level attack.
"Chris, where did you pick up the seeds? I'm going to pick one too." Linda was very envious. If she could have such a sixth-level plant for protection, then in most places in the kingdom,
You can walk sideways.
Chris said: "That's a place called Baihua Valley, and there's a big adult tree. Go find it and see if I can give you another seed."
He couldn't help but think of the ghost vine whose intelligence was comparable to that of a human being. He wondered if he had been frightened into moving away.
It's a pity that it can't be tamed as an adult, otherwise Chris would really want to turn that tree over too.
In this way, there are two sixth-level magic plants in his territory.
······
Guessing that the reward for the pioneering order is coming soon, Chris needs to prepare early.
He called the chief knight Jonathan over.
"Sir, are you looking for me?" Now, Jonathan is already a fourth-level knight, and his body is much stronger than before.
Not only that, two of the four first-level knights in the territory have now broken through to the second level.
"I have an important task for you." Chris said, "You take Knight Shiloh and select a dozen young adults from the territory to follow you to Nebula City to find an heir to the earl named Paul.
"
Hilo has experience in this area, but there are many dangers on the road, so he needs the protection of Jonathan, a strong man.
Chris continued: "Ask Paul to help pull the strings and recruit free people in Nebula City, or buy serfs from other nobles. The more the better, but they must be healthy."
Now I hope that the town's industry is on the right track, but after my title is promoted, my territory will expand, and more people will be needed to open up wasteland.
Therefore, Chris does not need to let new people come into contact with his core craftsmanship, and he is not afraid of being leaked.
Naturally, the larger the number of citizens, the better, and it can provide more reputation, allowing Chris to break through to the fifth level as soon as possible.
Chris handed a space ring to Jonathan: "There are ninety tons of food here for you to eat on the road. There are also three thousand gold coins, I must spend them all!"
"Yes!" Jonathan took the order and left.
······
On this day, Chris came to Kenzat.
Kenzat touched the ring and took out the golden coins: "These are the last profits from the dragon meat. Plus the king's reward of 30,000 gold coins for you, the total is 46,030 coins."
His old face always looks so friendly.
Except for the few hundred kilograms of dragon meat that Chris told him to keep for his own use, everything else was sold.
Kenzat continued: "After this time, I won't have to come here in person anymore. The trade between you and the princess will return to normal, and there will be a caravan coming to transport the jam."
Chris smiled and said: "Perhaps, there will be a chance for you to escort me personally in the future."
He has set his sights on the evil dragon of the Edmund Association. If he can kill it, then the dragon meat business can continue.
"By the way, you have been canonized as the Earl of Thorn Ridge by His Majesty the King. This is your Earl's cane." After saying that, Kenzat took out a half-meter-long bronze cane from the space ring and handed it over.
Then, Kenzat took out a noble code and a parchment map: "Here, what's marked on it is your territory."
"Speaking of which, you really surprised me. You only participated in the pioneering order once and you have accumulated enough achievements from baron to earl. Not to mention the Eagle Kingdom, even for other countries on the continent, this is unprecedented."
Chris took the map and took a look, his expression turned ugly.
The area marked above is very vast, as big as six Hope Towns, and borders it in the northwest direction of the town, so Chris does not need to move.
But the most disturbing thing is that the new territory is a large no-man's land, overgrown with thorns and poisonous insects, and rarely populated.
Even whether this area is considered the territory of the Eagle Kingdom is open to question.
Chris gripped the map so hard that his nails pierced the paper and veins popped out on the back of his hands.
Damn, this old king is so damn stingy.
I worked so hard on the pioneering order, it would be an exaggeration to say that I saved the entire country, but in the end, I was given such a perfunctory reward?
Even if it is only given to one earl, even the territory is the kind of place where nothing matters.
The next time you see Princess Shirley, you must give her a good show.
Kenzat comforted him: "Don't be angry. There are many minerals in Thorn Ridge, but because there are too many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, and there are monsters in and out, the nobles are unwilling to take risks."
Hearing this, Chris felt a little better.
"There is another secret that I don't tell most people." Kenzat whispered, "I heard that there is a huge treasure buried in Thorn Ridge, which can even be traced back to the Holy Demon Era thousands of years ago, but
Because it’s so old, no one knows where the treasure is buried.”
Chris said: "Who did you listen to? Do you believe this trick of coaxing children?"
"It's true!" Kenzat was extremely sure. "The source of the information is absolutely reliable."
"Oh." Chris agreed casually. He was not interested in that kind of illusory treasure.
After being buried for more than a thousand years, no matter how good the treasure is, it has expired.
Moreover, there is no tradition of collecting antiques in this magical continent, so even if you dig out those old gadgets, they are not worth anything. At most, you will have some gold coins that can be used.
Instead of struggling to find the treasure, it would be more practical to slay two dragons and sell the dragon meat.
At least, this thing can earn more than 100,000 gold coins.
Kenzat came over and asked curiously: "I heard that you killed two sixth-level knights, is it true?"
"Of course not." Chris shook his head.
Kenzat breathed a sigh of relief: "Let me tell you, how could you grow so fast and have the power to compete with the sixth level."
Chris said calmly: "They are three sixth-level knights and a sixth-level magician."
