French knight lord: I have a skill panel

Chapter 4 The Harvest Day Dinner Interlude
In a blink of an eye, it was mid-September.

In the dense forest to the east of the Volo River Valley, the half-green and half-yellow broad-leaved forest has almost all turned into withered yellow.

When the autumn wind blows, it is like a golden rain, and the air becomes colder.

These days, Luo Mo ran into the dense forest when he had nothing to do.He has moved from monotonous chamber exercises to hunting exercises.

Compared with constantly chopping stakes, hunting wild animals will add more experience points and is more efficient.

Luo Mo exhausted today's mana and exhaled heavily.

A Timberwolf lay under its feet, its blood had dried up, and its wound was covered in frost, as if it had been frozen.

This is the No. 13 Timberwolves of the North Wind that he hunted and killed with ice swordsmanship.Thanks to the great sword of Qingshuang, the Timberwolves on the edge of the dense forest have almost disappeared.

Dragging the Timberwolf corpse back, Lomo opened his skill panel:
【Name: Lomo Sardin】

【Age: 23】

【Strength: 6.1】

[Agility: 6.2]

[Remaining physical strength: 40.5%]

[Law Knight Level: Beginner]

[Blood Sacrifice Contract: Cyan Frost Great Sword]

[Elemental magic: 1.5 (water attribute)
[Magic power remaining: 5%]

【Skill】

[Ice Sword Art: Level 893 (1000/[-])

Although Ice Sword Art has not yet reached the second level, but with these days of practice, the strength and agility have reached 6.
Obviously, the practice of ice swordsmanship can also improve the basic physique, and it is more efficient than before.

His current strength has obviously improved by a level compared to before he was promoted to the French Knight.

Back at the manor, the butler Barron greeted him early and handed over the Timberwolves to the kitchen.

Today is the day to celebrate the harvest, the farmer's door got off work early, sitting outside the farmhouse in groups of three or four, drinking and farting.

The women came and went in the square, preparing for today's dinner nervously and orderly.

Barron brought Luomo to the living room and reported to him the results of this harvest season: "My lord, this year is really a rare bumper harvest!"

The old butler spoke loudly, with an ecstatic expression on his face, and as he spoke, the carefully trimmed beard raised and lowered, feeling very happy:
"In this bumper harvest, a total of eight tons of potatoes and 26 tons of wheat were harvested. Others, three tons each of chickpeas and lentils, and two tons of peanuts."

When he said this, he took out the notebook in his hand, looked at it for a long time, stretched out two fingers and said: "There are 39 households in our manor, 160 people. The food is enough to feed us for two years."

"Two years!" Barron emphasized, his tone excited: "We can sell at least half of the grain in the coming year. Then we can exchange it for ironware, salt, cloth and various fashionable items."

When Luo Mo heard this, he nodded and calculated.The banks of the Voro River are indeed a piece of fertile soil.There is only more than 100 mu of land. Under such conditions, the total output of potatoes and wheat can reach 37 tons.

Of course, this output is far less than the yield per mu in his previous life.But that is the result of scientific cultivation.The quality and cultivation method of the seeds are by no means comparable to that of an amateur farmer like myself.

He is already very content with this output.

There is a saying that people regard food as their heaven.In any territory, the supply of food is the top priority. Now that there are these reserves, there will be no more incidents of farmers fleeing.

And as a sitter, one's own training can also be fully guaranteed.

After working hard for more than half a year, the people in the manor can finally relax for a while and enjoy the joy of the harvest.

Soon, night fell, and a grand barbecue party was held in the manor.

Farmers sang and danced around the bonfire, while young men and women hid in the shadows of the yard and secretly dated.

Luo Mo was arranged in the most central position, and farmers kept offering him roasted game and potato chips.

Instigated by their parents, some young girls went up to invite dancers, but they were all rejected by Luo Mo.

On the other hand, the old housekeeper, Barron, mixed among the widows, drinking and chatting, enjoying himself.

Many of the female family members who escaped from the farmers and stayed behind were given to Barron cheaply.

But this is actually nothing, the Kingdom of Clay does not believe in the church.Since the royal family practiced natural magic, there were no strict restrictions on love.How many wives you like to marry and how many lovers you have are all your own freedom.

Although old Barron is old, he is still full of energy.If a boy and a half girl can be born, it will also contribute to the population of the manor.

Looking at the singing and dancing crowd, Luo Mo was thoughtful.

The current principle of food distribution in the manor is still a centralized system.All the land is owned by Luo Mo, and the grain collected by the farmers is managed and stored by Barron.

On weekdays, each household can receive food for five days.If you encounter outstanding contributors, you will receive additional rewards.

And the carpenters, masons, cooks and other technical occupations in the manor are basically treated the same as the farmers.

Strictly speaking, these households are all serfs of Luomo and have no private property.As long as you have clothes to wear and food to eat, you are already very satisfied.

For this system, Lomo is actually a little worried and disgusted.Because with the improvement of material conditions, the desire for private property will definitely sprout in their hearts. Although in the extraordinary world, they should not have the psychology of resistance, but it may also affect their enthusiasm for work.

As for how to change it, he hasn't figured it out yet.But this kind of thing does not need to be rushed for a while.

At present, the development and growth of the territory is the most important thing to consider.

Infected by the cheerful atmosphere of the people around him, Luo Mo also completely relaxed.

The high-pressure training in the past few days has made him a little overwhelmed.Just take this opportunity to relax.

While drinking ale, his eyes wandered, searching for the young women who danced gracefully.

Suddenly, he noticed that in the west corner, a thin young woman was sitting there sobbing softly.

Next to her, there was a little boy with brown hair, who kept comforting his mother. He was also tear-stained and his eyes were red.

The sadness of these two people is in stark contrast to the happy atmosphere of those around them.

Luo Mo suddenly felt a little strange, he waved to George Walter next to him, and said, "What are the names of the women and children over there? Why are they crying so sadly? Ask them to come and talk."

George is the eldest son of the housekeeper, Barron, and the farmer of the estate.He was a stocky man with a rosaceous nose and a bushy beard, just like his father.

At this time, he was holding a hare's rib to feast on. Hearing Luo Mo's call, he immediately threw away the rib, wiped his mouth, and strode in front of the mother and child, pulling them up immediately.

Immediately, he pushed the mother and the child in front of Luo Mo, and said roughly: "Look at you two, you are crying, which affects your interest in drinking! Damn it!"

The young woman's thin body was trembling constantly, her face was pale, obviously frightened.The brown-haired child next to him was clinging to his mother, at a loss.

"I'm sorry, I made you angry and spoiled your interest."

As she spoke, she knelt down, pulled the boy next to her to kneel down together, and kept kowtowing to Luo Mo.

Seeing this situation, Luo Mo immediately stepped forward and helped them up himself.

The young woman went in without knowing it, a little flattered, and looked at the lord blankly.

Luo Mo frowned slightly, glanced at George next to him, and said, "I asked you to invite them over, not drag them over."

When George saw Lomo's gaze, he glanced casually, but it was full of oppression, which was even more terrifying than the Timberwolves' eyes.

His face immediately turned pale.

Luomo turned to the young woman and said kindly, "Don't be afraid, I'm just a little confused. On such a harvest day, why do you cry so sadly? What's your name?"

Barron, who was in the distance, had already noticed the distress of his son George. He immediately got rid of the widows, ran all the way over, and introduced, "My lord, this is from the farmer Tim's family. He escaped from the famine in April this year."

"What about Tim others? Why are you crying?" Luomo asked.

When the young woman heard the lord mentioning Tim, she couldn't stop sobbing and said, "My lord, my husband. My husband was taken away by a wild beast a few days ago. My son and I are very sad, so we cry."

"Abducted by wild beasts?" Luo Mo turned his head and looked at Barron with a questioning expression.

Baron was silent for a moment, and replied: "My lord, Tim was harvesting wheat in the wheat field outside the village three days ago. He was taken away by a wild beast. There is also another widower, Jack, who was also killed four days ago. kidnapped."

"Oh?!"

Lomo was shocked immediately. He was busy practicing these days and handed over the affairs of the territory to Barron.

Now that the territory is being attacked, I don't know anything about it!
"What kind of beast is it?" Luo Mo narrowed his eyes, and his expression became a little hostile.

"It's an owlbeast. That magical beast deep in the eastern jungle. When Tim was taken away, several people saw it." Barron replied.

"Why didn't you tell me what happened a few days ago?" Luo Mo blamed.

Seeing that Luomo was angry, Old Barron looked a little embarrassed, and explained bravely: "The owl beast is too powerful, and it lives in a dense forest. The Lord Hansen next door once led a knight detachment into the dense forest to encircle and suppress it. The results failed, and two knights died.

So I think that we can only be considered unlucky if we encounter this kind of thing.If I told you, it would be too dangerous for you to go into the depths of the dense forest in a fit of anger."

When Luo Mo heard this, he said in a deep voice: "Baron, you must tell me about the safety of the manor. Whether you decide to attack or not is up to me. You must keep this in mind in the future."

"Yes." Old Barron lowered his head with guilt on his face.

Luo Mo's face turned pale, and he handed him a piece of wolf meat, comforting him: "No need, I don't mean to blame you. It's just that you have to be careful in the future."

"I see, my lord, I will never hide it from you in the future." Old Barron immediately expressed his position.

Luomo smiled slightly, picked up two pieces of unroasted rabbit meat, handed it to the thin young woman, and said softly: "I'm sorry to hear the news. It's just that you need to cheer up, your son still needs your meat." Take care."

The young woman didn't expect to get a reward, she quickly thanked Luo Mo, and then took her son to leave.

Old Barron also retreated with shame. He took his son George to the dark place, and said solemnly: "From now on, you should be more polite and polite to that widow of Tim's family, you know? Look at the situation today, Mr. Lomo He should have fallen in love with her, and maybe he will accept her as his lover."

"Well! I must remember!" George nodded heavily.

Immediately, he scratched his head, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that my lord likes petite women, no wonder he doesn't even touch the plump maid you arranged for him."

As the banquet continued, Luo Mo relaxed and seemed not to be affected by the incident, but he was silently thinking about this owl beast that dared to invade his own territory.

Farmers in the manor are not only their own private property and labor, but also their subordinates and partners.From the perspective of interests and humanities, we should not turn a blind eye and treat them indifferently.

It is said that the owl beast is a low-level race produced after the owl was demonized.Although it has no language of its own, it is powerful and can use natural magic.

However, due to the limitation of IQ, the power of magic is very small.But even so, the strength should not be underestimated.

Because of demonization, their internal organs and bones can be used as magic materials.If he could hunt a wildkin beast, it might be helpful to improve his ice sword skills.

Even if it doesn't help, you can take it to the market outside and sell it.Then exchange for the desired magic material.

The value of hunting it is far greater than hunting Timberwolves.

Luo Mo thought to himself, these days, he has been wandering around the edge of the dense forest, and it is almost no challenge.

Seeing that his road to magic riding is progressing slowly, maybe it's time to take an adventure in the depths of the dense forest.
