Tina reminded: "You must recruit more powerful knights and magicians as soon as possible to help you deal with the battle in a year. Otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with the Edmund Association with the strength of us alone."
"Yes, I will." Chris said seriously, "But before that, we still have to develop the territory. Otherwise, even if we recruit knights and magicians, we won't be able to support them."
"That's a problem." Tina pondered.
"It's getting late. Let's go back and rest. Tomorrow I will take them to Mott City to sell ice cream."
Tina's eyes were glaring and she said: "I'll go with you tomorrow. I can use wind magic to stir things much faster than they can with a spoon."
Chris slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of using this method? Thank you, Tina."
"You're welcome." Tina yawned, "I'm going back to bed first, good night."
"Ann~" Chris waved to her.
After watching Tina go away, Chris also returned to his room.
Now, he has a preliminary understanding of the Edmund Association.
And I still have one year left to develop.
There is a long way to go.
······
The next day, when the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the window, Chris woke up.
He stood up, stretched, put on his clothes, and walked out the door.
"Morning, sir." The maid came over with hot water and towels.
"Morning." Chris washed his face with hot water and wiped away the water drops on his face with a towel.
After washing up, Chris came to the dining room and prepared to have breakfast.
"My lord, breakfast is here." Mrs. Allen brought out an omelette and two slices of butter bread.
"It smells so good." Tina sniffed her nose and walked in, followed by Linda.
"Come, let's eat together." Chris greeted warmly.
Tina and Linda also sat at the dining table, and Mrs. Ellen brought over two more breakfasts.
"Linda, come with me to Mote City today." Chris said while eating, "Buy some fruit saplings, and you can help me choose some good varieties."
"No problem, I'll cover it." Linda wolfed down the butter bread in front of her and said without raising her head, "You can just buy it, I'll make it bloom and bear fruit in a few days."
"Okay." Chris felt relieved.
With this little girl who specializes in plant magic here, even if you plant all the fruit trees in your territory, there won't be any problem.
After breakfast, Chris walked out of the castle and said to Jonathan Knight, who was exercising: "Get ready, we will go to Mote City again today."
"Yes, sir!" Jonathan turned around and ran away to inform those first-order knights.
Chris touched it from his arms and took out the demon soul crystal ball. With the injection of magic power, a puff of smoke exploded in front of him, and the dragon-blooded horse walked out.
Chris touched its head and said, "I'm going to have to work hard for you today."
The dragon blood horse snorted and raised its head.
At this time, Linda and Tina also walked out of the castle.
Chris pointed at the dragon-blooded horse, made an invitation gesture, and said: "You two, please ride this horse together."
"Okay, I've wanted to ride it for a long time." Linda was immediately elated. She ran over and wanted to jump on the horse, but she was not tall enough. No matter how hard she fluttered her short legs, she couldn't climb up.
On the back of a bloody horse.
Chris silently covered his face, came behind Linda, grabbed her slender waist with his hands, and with a strong force, sent her to the dragon blood horse.
"I'll do it myself." Tina took out her wand, and a whirlwind appeared at her feet, causing it to levitate and land lightly behind Linda.
At the same time, Jonathan also led the bay red horse and came over with three knights.
Chris turned over and rode on the back of the maroon horse, waved his hand and said: "Let's go!"
The seven people marched toward Mote City in a mighty manner.
On the way, Chris found that the bay red horse under him always carried him towards Tina and Tina, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Hey, what's going on with this horse?"
"Sir, you don't know something." Jonathan explained, "Your bay horse is a female horse, and the dragon blood horse is male."
"I see." Chris touched his forehead and realized that his bay horse was in heat.
However, this is also a normal phenomenon. A dragon-blooded horse has a strong physique and a noble bloodline. If placed among horses, it will definitely become tall, rich and handsome.
It seems that I can no longer lock the dragon-blooded horse in the demon soul crystal ball in the future, and I have to release it more often so that the two can develop their relationship.
Maybe in the future, the bay horse will be able to give birth to a foal with dragon blood.
Although the bloodline is not as pure as a dragon blood horse, it is still much better than an ordinary horse, right?
Chris didn't stop the bay horse's lustful behavior, and the two horses walked side by side.
But the dragon-blooded horse didn't catch a cold, and turned his head to glare at the bay-red horse from time to time.
If Chris hadn't been there, this guy would have kicked the poor little mare away.
Two hours later, Chris and his party arrived at Mote City.
In order to prevent the dragon blood horse with scales from arousing the covetousness of others, Chris took it back into the Demonic Soul Crystal Ball in advance.
After undergoing an interrogation by the city gate guards, Chris and the others successfully entered the city.
When they arrived at the rented shop, they saw a middle-aged man standing at the door, waiting patiently.
"Butler Byron?" Chris looked at the person standing at the door of his shop in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
Chris was very impressed by Baron Raymond who took care of his business, so he naturally remembered the butler next to him.
"You're finally here." Byron stepped forward quickly and held Chris's hand tightly. "You didn't come to sell ice cream yesterday. My family was all anxious."
"I'm sorry, something was delayed yesterday, but I promise you, there will be ice cream for sale every day from now on." Chris showed an apologetic smile.
Yesterday morning I was busy making lunch for the citizens and earning reputation points.
Immediately afterwards, he killed the evil dragon and had no time to come to Mote City.
"Hurry up, my lady is waiting to eat." Byron looked particularly eager.
"Okay, okay, right away." Chris opened the door of the shop with the key, and took out a large handful of silver coins from the space ring and gave it to Jonathan, "Take them to purchase the raw materials for the ice cream."
"Yes, sir." Jonathan responded and left with the three knights.
Immediately afterwards, Chris turned to Byron who was following him and said apologetically: "Sorry, the recipe for making the snowflake cake is confidential. I hope Butler Byron will understand."
