Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 112: Miraculous Consecration of Wisteria Pods

After obtaining the wisteria tree seeds, Su Li immediately took Fandral back to the purple spiritual field north of the castle.

This purple spiritual field is now full of vitality. The planted clover has sprouted, and the slender green leaves have turned this place into a green shade.

Perhaps it won't be long before the daily intelligence system will prompt that a four-leaf clover has been born here.

This magical plant that can bring good luck to people, as long as you carry it with you, you will be successful in everything, and even get more inspiration for heavy strikes in battle.

However, the protagonist today is obviously not them, but the consecrated wisteria tree species in Su Li's hand.

Fandral personally dug a tree pit in the purple spiritual field, then carefully placed the tree seeds in it and watered it with the water from the fish pond full of spiritual energy.

After finishing everything, he didn't even bother to wash the dirt off his hands. He knelt in the field and prayed earnestly: "Goddess of Dawn, you are the nurturer of the earth, the mother of all things. Your grace is like spring rain, nourishing the dry land. Our seeds, carrying hope and dreams, long to grow. Under your protection, they will break through the soil and greet the sunlight."

"We pray to you to grant these seeds the strength to grow, to take root in the soil and flourish in the sunshine. May your light shine upon them as it shines upon our hearts, and may your love nourish them as it nourishes our hopes..."

Su Li truly witnessed the power of divine magic. Before the priest of the Church of Dawn finished praying, they could clearly hear the sound of seeds sprouting and breaking through the soil in the silence.

Then Su Li and Fandral both exclaimed and quickly took a few steps back, only to see a sturdy wisteria tree rising from the ground in the tree pit planted by Fandral. In the shocked eyes of the two, the wisteria tree grew more than ten meters high in a blink of an eye, and the trunk was winding and undulating, and was two meters thick. Then, a brilliant lavender petal hung from the sky, like a cloud brocade or a waterfall. The magnificent scene was like a forest on its own. This spiritual tree alone seemed to have created a bizarre fantasy forest.

Su Li asked in surprise, "Is the grace of the Goddess of Dawn so strong?"

Fandral gazed up at the dazzling, magnificent spiritual tree, his mouth gaping in shock. After a long pause, he replied, "This... isn't the goddess's grace. I haven't even finished my prayer yet. This is simply the unleashing of energy this consecrated wisteria has accumulated over hundreds of years. I can clearly sense its joy."

As he spoke, he walked forward, placed his right hand on the trunk of the consecrated wisteria, and closed his eyes as if listening to something.

Su Li crossed his arms in front of his chest, not in a hurry, and looked at him calmly. It seemed that the legend that druids could communicate with plants and animals was not false.

About five minutes later, Fandral opened his eyes, and the smile on his face could no longer be suppressed, even brighter than the consecrated wisteria.

"My Lord, you wouldn't believe how powerful this consecrated wisteria tree is! It is the source of life, the spring of the wind of Ji Lun. As long as it blooms, it will continuously gather life force from all directions here."

Su Li raised his eyebrows. The problem of building the spiritual medicine farm was solved. He remembered clearly that Fandral had said that what the tranquilizing flower lacked was a place where the wind of life could converge.

Now the Blessed Wisteria Tree continuously gathers life energy from all directions here, and the medicinal fields around it will also benefit, and those precious medicinal materials can be cultivated on a large scale.

Even the most common potion would cost no less than 50 silver coins. With such a large quantity of tranquilizing flowers, the territory could earn hundreds of gold crowns annually just from potion making.

Su Li was more concerned about the effect of the consecrated wisteria tree. He looked up at the radiant and magnificent spiritual tree and asked, "What is it doing by gathering so much life energy? It can't just be for growth, right?"

Fandral said excitedly, "Of course, it's not just for growth. Its purple spikes hang down, and its flowers are numerous and fragrant. Early summer is when it blooms, and in midsummer, the tree is covered with dense leaves. During this time, even if you do nothing, just staying beneath the tree can clear your mind, greatly increasing your success rate in crafting various props. And in autumn, it produces consecrated pods, which can directly increase vitality. Eating one pod each year can extend your life by at least a year."

This is not the blessed pod, it is clearly a ginseng fruit tree!

Su Li immediately asked with concern: "Can I eat a few more?"

What is the most important thing for nobles and kings?
Is it a powerful and glorious army? Is it unrivaled strength? Is it a peerless beauty?

Of course not, but it is immortality!
No king can resist the temptation of immortality. With an immortal life, he can easily hold any beauty or power in his hands.

Even if you rely on the perseverance of water dripping through stone, you can still become the strongest person in the world.

Otherwise, no matter if you are the invincible emperor or the mighty king, when your life span comes to an end, you will turn into a handful of dirt.

Fandral shook his head and said, "If I just eat the fruit, it probably won't have any other effect. But I think the potion I'm researching using the Blessed Pods should be able to slightly extend my lifespan for a while."

Su Li was a little disappointed at first, but after hearing Fandral's explanation, he immediately became excited. As long as his lifespan was slowly increasing and only increasing every year, sooner or later his lifespan would be extended to the level of immortality.

Su Li's requirements were not high, just the level of black magic to prolong life would be enough. Many famous vampires, undead and dark elves in this world have a lifespan of thousands of years, and as for dragons, they can easily live for thousands of years.

However, the characteristic of the Consecrated Pods meant that it could only be used within the territory. It could not be sold at a high price like the Muen Spirit Fruits and become so famous.

Because it was difficult to prove to the other party how long his life was extended by eating the Blessed Pod. However, Su Li did not care. The lack of significant effect made it easier for him to hide and make a fortune secretly.

Just as Su Li had planted the consecrated wisteria tree, good news soon came from Xilude.

She found the Kisser, put it in a jewelry box, and brought it back to the castle.

Such a small creature was sold for at least 2000 gold crowns. Su Li did not dare to neglect it and asked the nuns of the Dawn Church to personally move into the prayer room of the castle to take care of this little bug.

2000 gold crowns. This is the annual tax revenue of many earls.

It would be possible to earn so much wealth if one were to visit nearly ten monasteries and witch huts and constantly make potions and items.

For this purpose, Su Li specially mobilized two loyal knights to guard in front of the prayer room and not allow anyone to approach.

At dusk, when the sun was setting, the golden afterglow covered the earth. Another piece of good news came. Joseph, the resident knight of the Flaming Sun Knights, successfully shot and killed the moose sparrow. The whole territory cheered.

The knights happily brought the huge bird of prey to Su Li's castle and presented the harvest to their virtuous lord.

Su Li was of course aware of their expectations, and with a wave of his hand, he generously issued an order: "Loyalty will not be betrayed. I will reward each loyal knight with two kilograms of moose and finches."

This bird of prey is huge and can eat a creature as big as a horse. It may weigh five or six hundred kilograms. Apart from the less than two hundred kilograms given to the knights, Su Li still has three or four hundred kilograms left. The few people in his castle definitely cannot finish it.

So he asked Hildreth to take out more than 50 kilograms and distribute them to his direct armed attendants. These were the troops directly commanded by Hildreth, the chief high-ranking attendant. Hildreth was teaching them Violet's martial arts, and they had good combat power.

When the knights all have their own armed attendants in the future, Su Li plans to convert this force into the city guard and his direct legion.

As a powerful lord, of course you must have a standing legion as the pillar of your military force.

If the development is good, you can also raise funds to build a knight order in your own territory.

In this way, when the time comes to go to war, a considerable army can be formed with the Knights as the core, the standing legion as the main force, and the vassal knights and armed attendants.

But apart from the 50 kilograms of reward, there were still nearly kilograms of moose and sparrow meat left, so Su Li simply asked the Minister of the Seal to send people to sell it in the market to increase the prosperity of the city.

The effect was so sensational that it shook the entire Hessen town. A large number of the knights' armed servants and family members took out the wealth they had accumulated over a long period of time. The guards of the Steel Nail Mercenary Group and the West Chamber of Commerce almost filled the market.

The Steel Nail Mercenary Corps lost five soldiers in this battle. They were well-trained and often fought against goblins, so they knew how to conserve their strength, so the loss was not great. However, they made a huge profit of 50 gold crowns, so naturally they were willing to spend money to improve themselves.

After all, increased strength brings not only status and honor, but also a greater chance of survival.

After a night of clamor, most of the moose finch meat was sold, earning Su Li 223 gold crowns. The territory was still relatively undeveloped, and if it were sold in Maleburg, the price would be at least 3-5 times higher.

Of course, the effect of moose finch meat was also very significant. That night, 17 knights and armed attendants achieved a breakthrough, and the territory gained 11 apprentice knights and 1 elite knight.

Su Li was even unable to provide them with enough armed attendants because the territory simply could not spare the manpower to be trained as soldiers.

This is also a happy trouble. I am afraid that only in the Hessen Territory would people be troubled by the breakthrough of a large number of knights.

However, without a squire for the time being, these trainee knights had no complaints. Leaving here in anger? That was absolutely impossible, not even a thought.

Not only are the treatments here excellent, but the knights also truly hold a high status.

During these days, Su Li took advantage of the fact that there was no war and personally presided over the funerals of the knights who died heroically.

The Cemetery of Heroes is located just below the leafy hills to the north of the castle. Under Su Li's personal leadership, all the knights wore armor and attended the solemn funeral. Honor and respect were deeply imprinted in the hearts of all the knights at that moment.

How could they possibly leave this perfect territory? They would die on the land they swore to protect.
