Considering the possible impact of this business and the possibility of a surprise attack by Viscount Moore at any time, Yue Jinghua left Xiao Shan and the Giant-Winged Mosquito King behind to set up defenses, and asked Teng Wu to help look after the village for a while.
She only brought Nan Muyu, Pinjin Cankou, and Snake Hair Gore along with her on this trip.
Before leaving the town, Yue Jinghua also approved several plans proposed by the old butler Betsin.
One is: to encourage immigration, people who move their families to Fontaine County will be given a three-year exemption from various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. The situation in Fontaine County is becoming increasingly stable these days, with the farming and Blue Snow Candles including
With the promotion of a series of projects, the income of Fontaine County has increased, and immigrants have come in one after another. Some people who were dissatisfied with the mediocre governance of Viscount Moore of Bailu County moved here with their families, including a large number of craftsmen.
Relying on these people, Hongyao established several additional Lanxue candle processing factories, recruited a group of local villagers, and then sold them to the Risong Federation through the channels provided by Heliansheng.
He Liansheng left Fontaine County shortly after the spring plowing began. Before he left, he summoned a deacon from the family. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, the deacon from the Helian family who came from the Federation would come.
Come pick up the goods and bring some Federation-specific novelties.
The second is: forming a new Fontaine County Guard. Even though there is a prairie poisonous algae and a giant-winged mosquito king, they are just magic trees and monsters after all. And now only Yue Jinghua can control them. If you are not careful, they are just magic trees and monsters.
, it may cause unnecessary harm.
It's just that rebuilding the County Guard is not something that can be completed in a day or two. In order to relieve the manpower pressure in the county, Batesin's old housekeeper accepted the suggestion of the former County Guard leader Nan Muyu and planned to build the largest military base on Xuan Beast Ridge.
Mercenary Town - Wusheng Town spends a lot of money to recruit a group of permanent mercenaries.
The Five Saints Town is one of the largest mercenary towns in the Eastern Continent. Because it is close to the Mysterious Beast Ridge, which has the richest resources of mysterious beasts, a large number of mercenaries enter the Five Saints Town every year.
Nan Muyu has seen many such mercenaries. He believes that the current defense of Fontaine County only relies on a limited number of people, which is obviously not enough. If the lord has money, he can hire a mercenary team to help.
defense.
Yue Jinghua agreed to his proposal and entrusted Betzin to recruit.
After bidding farewell to Lierou and others, Yue Jinghua traveled lightly into battle. With Nan Muyu who was familiar with the terrain, it didn't take long before she left Fontaine County and entered Kalan Peak.
Along the way, the ice and snow line gradually moved up, and the traces of spring became stronger day by day. On the tall mountains, downy green grass had already grown.
However, along the way, Yue Jinghua only saw some trees, and the traces of even the lowest-level mysterious beasts became less and less.
It took more than three months, and around noon, the two of them arrived at the peak of Kalan Peak.
The height of Kalanfeng Mountain is approximately equal to the modern altitude of more than 1,000 meters. It can only be considered a medium height among the Black Beast Ridge. The peak is covered with coral cypress that has just sprouted. Other than that, there are no legendary sights.
The cave where the corpse of the evil dragon was once sealed.
"Legend has it that a special space-time profound formation has been set up in this area. If you don't find the formation's eye, you won't be able to find the cave." Nan Muyu also made a mistake back then and had to follow the mysterious beast as a sacrifice to enter the cave.
.
"In previous years' sacrifices, when those who brought the sacrifices arrived here, they would put down the sacrifices and then leave." Along the way, Nan Muyu kept urging Yue Jinghua, just a short distance away from where his wife, children, and parents were sent to Kalan Peak.
, three days have passed, and although he knows that the "Beast God" will not swallow all the sacrifices immediately, with every minute that passes, the lives of his family become more and more dangerous.
"Where is the mist you are talking about?" According to Nan Muyu, originally the beast god would receive sacrifices once every spring and autumn equinox, but Fontaine County has not offered sacrifices since last year due to disasters in the county.
In order to attract the tide of beasts, Viscount Moore also reduced the number of sacrifices.
The decrease or even extinction of the mysterious beasts in this area is the result of the "Beast God" being hungry and going down the mountain to hunt himself.
"You need to wait until midnight. The beast god only comes out at night." Nan Muyu took out a few antidote pills and handed them to Yue Jinghua. In fact, he didn't think much about going into the mountain alone with Yue Jinghua this time.
After all, he originally wanted a Tianxuan master like Teng Wu to go with him, but Yue Jinghua refused right away.
"Removing miasma and repelling insects? This elixir is good," Yue Jinghua just took one and identified the herbal ingredients in the elixir.
Nan Muyu was slightly startled, Lord, is he still proficient in alchemy?
He became less and less familiar with this young lord. Before leaving, the lord casually threw him a pill. It was said that if he took it, he could directly break through from the Jade Profound Realm to the Earth Profound Realm.
"It's still early, can you tell me more about the adventurers, as well as the methods of refining detoxifying pills, animal skin tie-dyeing, and animal blood ink?" After seeing Nan Muyu's adventurer equipment, Yue Jinghua asked,
He was very interested. After learning about the existence of Five Saints Town, Yue Jinghua had a new idea.
Relying on only Blue Snow Candles and a limited number of Blue Snow Stoves is obviously not enough to become Fontaine County's economic backbone. She wants to take advantage of the natural advantage of being adjacent to the Five Saints Mercenary Town to earn money from the mercenaries.
The most generous people on the road are the mercenaries who deal with death and risk every day, and Nan Muyu’s family heirloom adventure items are a big deal to the mercenaries, even if they are
They are willing to pay a higher price.
After He Yue Jinghua explained in detail how to make adventurer equipment, the night darkened the entire Kalan Peak without even realizing it.
In order to prevent the "Beast God" from discovering the scent of the two of them, Nan Muyu took out a special-smelling concealing powder, sprinkled it around the two of them, and then quietly waited for the "Beast God" to appear.
After waiting for more than an hour, there was still no trace, and the legendary fog did not appear. Yue Jinghua asked in confusion: "What's going on?"
"Oops, we forgot to bring the sacrifices. We didn't smell the sacrifices. That 'Beast God' is cunning, I'm afraid he won't come out." Nan Muyu patted his forehead. It was so confusing. How could he put the last
I forgot the key thing. The "Beast God" is very picky and won't eat anything but live animals. There isn't even a single mysterious beast nearby, so where can I find suitable sacrifices?
"Sacrifice? As long as it's alive, it's fine, right?" Yue Jinghua thought for a while, and like a magic trick, a white bug appeared in her hand, "Then let it be," after saying that, she flicked her fingertips and
The Golden Silkworm, who was so sleepy that he was drooling, was thrown out.
