Chapter 178: Traditional Activities and Winemaking Wizards after the Harvest Ceremony
Every harvest season celebration is a feast for the men in the territory.

Su Li was no exception. He watched the pious sacrificial ceremony of the nuns of the Church of Dawn from beginning to end with great interest below Bjorn Bay.

I have to say, these nuns are really as generous as ever.

Any man who mentions the Dawn Church has to give a thumbs up. It is an absolutely generous church.

From top to bottom, they implement the creed of generosity in every aspect, without a trace of falsehood.

Even the nuns' bodies were displayed nakedly for everyone to see.

Anyway, at this time, everyone wears a mask, and no one knows whose beautiful body it is.

This novel scene made Tiberus, who was following Su Li, stare with wide eyes. He watched intently until the sacrifice was over. He wiped the corner of his mouth and said to Su Li, "The customs in the south are different from those in the north. These girls are so generous and beautiful."

Su Li nodded. The territory was gradually improving, and the nuns seemed to be getting better. There were also more of them. Among the new nuns, there were one or two that made Su Li's heart flutter.

There is still a big gap between their style and that of humans. The nuns of the Church of Dawn prefer to choose girls with half-elf blood. They have taller and more well-proportioned figures, and also have a more forest-like look.

Which man wouldn’t be moved by a forest-style beauty wearing a green nun’s robe and having a pair of beautiful white silk legs?

Only after they had put on their robes and regained their sacredness and mystery did Su Li reluctantly withdraw his gaze and return to the territory. He asked Tiberus, "Don't you have the Church of the Dawn Goddess in the north?"

Tiberus shook his head and said, "We do have the Church of the Dawn Goddess. The nuns of the church always try to plant crops like wheat, cabbage, and beets on the frozen soil to alleviate food shortages in the north. But there are no such generous ceremonies. They don't take off their clothes and serve the gods devoutly. But perhaps because it's too cold, northern women don't have such flexible figures. They start to have pot waists before they reach forty."

Su Li raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Hildre was also from the north, so she was very tall and slim. She also had the richest and fullest breasts in the entire territory. Would she also have a pot belly in the future?

However, after just one look at Hildre's curvy body, Su Li discarded this boring idea. Hildre is now the knight of the Goddess of the Fiery Sun in the south, and his diet is the same as his own, so how could he have a pot belly?

Moreover, Su Li felt that as her strength improved and she reached the champion level, her figure became more perfect. Her breasts were full and heavy, as if about to burst out, but her waist was constricted in an exaggerated curve, and her buttocks were round and firm, and her legs were long.

The whole body is curved, showing the beautiful curves of women perfectly.

When she reaches the God-chosen level, her figure will probably be even healthier and more perfect. Her resilient waist and beautiful belly with a vest line will be able to bring him the ultimate experience like a little leopard.

She was now like Su Li's strongest aphrodisiac. After watching an aphrodisiac sacrificial ceremony of the Church of Dawn, Su Li decisively pulled Hildre along. Like other couples, they waited until night fell, found a secluded place, and began the most intimate communication.

However, most of the other couples were among the wild flowers, while Su Li found a place with the most flowers in the territory.

There is no doubt that this place is under the moon canopy tree in the middle of the manor courtyard.

With the collection this summer, the purple spiritual field around the moon crown tree has expanded to hundreds of square meters.

The tree has grown to more than two meters high. After the sun sets, the tree will be full of flowers, and the grass under the tree will be covered with white wild lilies.

Now is the season when lilies are in full bloom in midsummer. The entire courtyard of the manor is filled with fallen petals and blooming lilies, and the whole courtyard is full of flowers, which is a beautiful sight.

What was undoubtedly more beautiful was Hildre's delicate body with skin as white as snow. Su Li only took the initiative for one round, and left the rest of the resistance to this energetic female knight.

The violent aftershocks and the dazzling white light made Su Li's blood boil and his chest burned like fire. It was not until midnight that he successfully vented all his enthusiasm and passion with the help of Hildurd.

The desires accumulated during the day and the burning heat in his chest were all released by Hildre. Su Li felt relaxed all over, as if bathing in sweet rain. Then his whole body felt extremely comfortable, and his mind and body were clear.

Then he happily embraced Hildreth's slightly cool body, playing with it lovingly, and said, "You girls' bodies are really amazing. Your body is so hot, but your legs are cold. Are you cold?"

Hildre shook her head slightly, picked up a turquoise long dress, and draped it over the two of them, blocking out the night's chill. Then, she snuggled intimately in Su Li's arms, her cheek against his heart, looking up at him and smiling, saying, "My Lord, your chest is like a small stove, how can I be cold?"

She was so smart that she could guess what Su Li wanted and what he would think today, so she was very considerate and wore a green long dress in the morning, contrary to her usual behavior.

Su Li lowered his head and rubbed her hair intimately with his cheek. Then he raised his head and looked at the tree full of flowers and asked, "My darling, do you think this moon crown tree has grown a lot taller?"

Hildre raised his head and carefully looked at the Moon Crown Tree in the moonlight. It was as if the watery moonlight was sprinkled on its crown, and the flowers on the tree were as beautiful as the Milky Way in the sky.

Hild observed it carefully for a moment and said, "It's not just grown a lot, it feels like it's growing rapidly. When I observed it just now, its tallest leaf didn't even reach the eaves, but now it's a leaf tip higher."

Su Li couldn't help but smile: "This shows that our territory has grown a lot after this harvest season."

Hildre stared at his happy smile and smiled happily as well. He said, "Yes, this moon crown tree is closely related to the fate of our territory. Its prosperous growth will promote the growth and prosperity of the territory. The high per-acre yield in the territory may also be due to its role."

This is possible, otherwise the yield per mu would not deviate so much from the estimate, with the yield per mu differing by 40 kilograms!
What does this mean? When the human empire was first established, the yield per mu in the feudal empire was only about 100 kilograms, a difference of nearly half.

Su Li looked at the blooming Moon Crown Tree and was also a little curious. He said, "How big do you think our territory has grown now?"

Hildre shook his head and said, "That's unclear. We may need to hold a meeting and have the Provincial Council and the Cabinet jointly report to you before we can clarify."

This is exactly within the scope of authority of the high-ranking attendant general, Hilde. She is responsible for convening meetings of the ministers and vassals of the Hesse Territory to discuss important matters.

Su Li then said, "Then you can spread this message. When the harvest season is over, we will hold a mid-year territory meeting."

He had been so absorbed in cultivation recently that he hadn't paid much attention to government affairs. He needed to gain a comprehensive understanding of the territory's details.

Sensing his uneasiness, Hildreth gently stroked his chest and said, "Lord, rest assured. Your rule remains extremely strong. I will always stand firmly behind you and protect you with my life. Your unfamiliarity with the territory is not due to your recent training, but rather the territory's rapid development. Over the past month, it has passed in a flash, and much has changed."

Su Li couldn't help but lower his head, hugged the beauty in his arms tightly, kissed her lips passionately, and kissed her passionately for a full five minutes. His hands wandered restlessly on her smooth and round body, and he picked her up and stuck close to her.

This girl is like a worm in his stomach. She can detect any uneasy thoughts he has.

That’s right, the reason why Su Li convened this meeting was because he was worried that he would become addicted to cultivation, lose control of the territory, and his power would be shaken.

But with Hildur's support, this worry will be greatly alleviated.

Because Hild is not only the strongest in the territory, he also controls the largest number of Su Li's direct servants and is one of the military pillars of Su Li's rule.

Moreover, this girl looks smart, noble and elegant, but she was actually born a slave. It was Su Li who personally rescued her from the sea of ​​suffering and changed her destiny, life and even the whole world with his own hands.

The relationship between the two is far beyond ordinary, and they are very close to each other. To her, Su Li is like a lover, a master, and even a father.

She is also Su Li's absolute supporter and confidant. If she cannot trust this girl whom she has personally cultivated from scratch, bit by bit, then there is no one else in the world who is worthy of trust.

Their destinies, lives and the entire world are actually tied together, just like their bodies are merged together at this moment, completely one. How can they distinguish each other?
The body of Su Li in Hildre's body is probably not much less than her own body.

The two of them lingered under the moon-crowned tree for a while before getting up and returning to the bedroom in the manor.

But strangely, Phyllis and Avril were not in the bedroom.

Hild immediately asked a maid, and then replied to Su Li: "My Lord, according to the maid in the castle, Phyllis and Avril have both arrived at the vineyard north of the manor."

"Vineyard?" Su Li also became interested and said, "Could it be that the Amethyst grapes are ripe? Let's go and take a look."

The vineyards to the north of the estate are actually some distance away from the estate, and are located below the green hills.

It will take several years to cultivate this vineyard before it gradually expands to the side of Bauhinia Manor.

Su Li and Hirud rode for a while before arriving at the Amethyst Vineyard.

Seeing Su Li coming, Phyllis immediately came forward happily. She brought a basket to Su Li and said, "My Lord, the Amethyst grapes are ripe. I was planning to bring them back for you to try as the first one of the year. It's a good opportunity for you to try them here since you're here."

Su Li picked a few and fed one to Phyllis first, then said with a smile, "You are a great contributor to our Bauhinia family. Try it first."

After Phyllis opened her red lips with a sweet smile and put the grape into her mouth, Su Li fed another one to Hildurde and finally tasted one herself.

Then his eyes lit up: "Hey, it's really delicious. It tastes sweet but not cloying, crisp with a slight acidity, very refreshing and delicious."

Phyllis said happily, "If you like them, my Lord, I'll have the nuns leave some grapes on the vines and come over every day to pick fresh grapes for you."

Su Li nodded and said, "Okay, this tastes amazing. Leave some for me to eat as fruit."

Su Li likes everything that is beautiful and enjoyable. This amethyst grape is indeed worthy of being specially recommended by the daily intelligence system. The taste is simply unparalleled.

Su Li then asked, "Who is responsible for this vineyard?" A nun from the Dawn Church immediately stood up, bowed respectfully to Su Li, and said, "My Lord, I am personally responsible for this orchard."

Su Li looked over. The nun had a pretty face, emerald green hair, and pointed ears. She was obviously of half-elf blood.

Su Li then remembered that this was indeed the case. When Bauhinia Manor was rising, in order to prevent serfs from entering and leaving Bauhinia Manor and this precious vineyard, the Dawn Church sent a nun to be in charge of this place.

Su Li looked at her carefully for a moment, then asked curiously, "Is there a green leaf pattern on your back?"

The nun's face immediately flushed, and she whispered, "Yes, Lord, you have a keen eye."

Su Li immediately recognized her. She was the nun he saw at the sacrificial ceremony, with a very good figure. Not only was she slim, but she also had no thick hair, and was full of the pure desire of a young girl.

She was relatively easy to recognize. After all, there weren't many nuns with green hair in the territory, so even with a mask, one could still guess her general appearance.

What a beautiful girl! Su Li was also very fond of such a generous girl and asked, "What's your name?"

"Merianne Saphir, my Lord."

"It's a beautiful name." Su Li continued to ask: "What is your strength?"

"My Lord, I am already a high-ranking official nun."

"Then what is your ability?" Su Li asked curiously.

"My power is Lord Emerald Garden. You know, the Wind of Gillen is a fresh, warm breeze that promises harvest and growth, like a spring rain, nourishing and nurturing all things. I can feel it as warm as the earth, as fresh as spring water. Once it touches the ground, it gathers into pools and streams that flow across the land, becoming a river that brings life, like the pumping of blood."

“So the land will blossom with my presence, and my place will become a well-maintained, vibrant garden.”

This is also a passive magic.

Su Li looked up and looked forward. Sure enough, the place had become beautiful and charming. Emerald green vines and green and yellow flowers and plants dotted around the circular stone circle where the ceremony was held. It was so beautiful that it looked like a fantasy world.

This circular stone circle is the iconic building of the Church of the Dawn Goddess. It serves as both the shrine of their church and a place of worship.

Basically, this kind of building will be built wherever nuns of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn are stationed.

Hild took out the love potion he carried with him, handed it to Su Li, and asked, "Lord, are you interested in her?"

Just one drop of this love potion is enough to imbue the user with unparalleled charm.

Su Li has been using this elixir for her cultivation a lot during this period, which has made Hildre, Phyllis, Avril and Ingrid more and more obsessed with her. When the effect of the elixir is strong, they love Su Li so much that they wish they could rub Su Li into their bodies.

The only drawback of this drug is that it has a certain time-limit, and its effect will gradually fade after a cycle.

Su Li used this potion as a lubricant for his married life, making his relationship with the female courtier closer and sweeter.

As for increasing his attraction to the opposite sex, he hadn't used it yet. It was mainly because Hildurd's increased strength, along with the changes in his figure and charm, had made him somewhat obsessed, leaving him with no time to care about others.

Should I use this potion on Melian right now?
Su Li decisively put the potion back on Hildre's waist and said, "You misunderstood. I asked her these questions not because I was interested in her as a person."

Of course, Su Li was indeed very interested in her beautiful body. If Melian was willing to invite him to have a hearty knight training in this beautiful garden or among the stone circles, he would naturally be happy to accept the invitation.

But this beautiful and generous nun obviously has no such idea yet.

Su Li was unwilling to waste a position as a court official and a drop of precious love elixir.

Those who could become his courtiers were either intelligent girls like Hilde and Ingrid who could be of great help to him, or breathtakingly beautiful and peerless girls like Phyllis.

So Su Li continued, "I was wondering, if Melian's status was higher, would our brandy be worth more?"

"Now we can put out our slogan. This fine wine is made from top-quality amethyst grapes, cared for by a pure and flawless girl. How much do you think the value of this wine will increase?"

Hildre shook his head and asked, "I don't understand that, Lord. I can't even fathom your thoughts. I don't have the energy to think about other men."

Su Li smiled and said, "Our brandy should be positioned as high-end from the start. Its raw materials are destined to be valuable, and we should try our best to give it the extra value of a luxury product."

“When nobles enjoy luxury goods, what they actually enjoy is a unique service process.”

"If this brandy is made by workers in a rough and uniform manner, the nobles will not be able to feel its nobility. No matter how rare it is, it will not be worth much."

"But imagine this: this brandy, from seed selection and seedling cultivation to pollination and cultivation to the final harvest, was all personally handled by a beautiful and pure young girl. Its value is unparalleled. The nobles enjoyed not only a fine wine, but also the value and unique service provided by this young girl."

Phyllis was a little confused and asked, "What does that have to do with Melian's strength? There are so many beautiful women, and there are many pure girls. Doesn't it matter who picks them?"

"Of course." Su Li said decisively: "Think about it, can the service a female slave provide you be the same as the service a powerful elite transcendent can provide you? So theoretically, the higher Melian's strength, the greater the value of our brandy."

"A bottle of luxurious brandy could be worth as much as ten serfs' hard work for a year."

This amethyst brandy is one of Su Li’s most important farming achievements, and he cannot easily waste these fruits.

So Su Li then asked Meilian, "How many amethyst grapes can we harvest this year?"

Melian considered carefully: "We have transplanted all the purple crystal grape seedlings in the territory here. The total area of ​​vineyard is one and a half acres."

"Amethyst grapes are a high-yield variety, with a minimum yield of 3000 kilograms per acre. However, due to the convergence of various Ji Lun winds and the high-yield nature of the territory, we can probably produce 4000 kilograms of Amethyst grapes."

There is no need to doubt the yield. The yield of the Amethyst Vineyard taken care of by a formal nun will not be less than 4000 kilograms.

Su Li then turned to Hildur and asked, "Where is our winemaker? Please come over and ask how much brandy can be made from so many grapes."

The territory has been preparing for this brandy for a long time, and of course there is a master brewer.

Soon, a mysterious woman wearing a black hood came here at Hildur's call.

Hildre introduced to Su Li: "My Lord, this is your direct attendant, the winemaker, Annaliese."

Annaliese, Su Li had an impression of her. She was a talent mentioned in the intelligence system, just like the Minister of Industry Sharif.

But what was more spectacular was that she appeared in the Gray Mountains. Intelligence said that she would be captured by goblins, so Su Li sent the Swan Knight to bring her back.

This is not because Su Li has a good memory, but because there are only a few women among the ministers and talents in the territory.

There is only one female minister in the entire cabinet, Hilde. Oh, there is also a female foreign minister, but Su Li has not seen her since he appointed the old halfling Hatsklin as foreign minister.

After Phyllis became pregnant, Avril often cried and begged Su Li to find another female court official, but Su Li didn't have many suitable women.

So Su Li was of course impressed by this female talent mentioned by the intelligence system.

The intelligence system didn't say much about her background, only mentioning that she had studied under a winemaking master. Su Li then asked, "Have you brewed any fine wines before?"

Annaliese's face was hidden under her hood as she replied calmly, "Of course. I once participated in the brewing of Mannan's Feast."

Mannan's hum?

Su Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this one of the most famous wines in the world?"

Legend has it that Mannan's has an almost ghostly aroma, with the wine practically evaporating on the tongue, leaving only its delightful scent.

Su Li couldn't believe that he could actually recruit such a winemaking master. Moreover, this girl was so young, how could she actually brew such top-notch wine?

Annaliese, of course, heard the doubt in Su Li's words and said, "It's nothing special. Mannan's Share is a legendary wine, made by the famous hermit Gotthold Koch from a meticulously tended field in the Grey Mountains."

“What makes it so legendary is that the grapes never see the sun; they are grown in a field shielded by sliding doors, cultivated entirely at night by the light of the witch moon.”

Su Li and Hirud exchanged a glance and immediately asked, "So you are a brewing wizard?"
