Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 335 New Spices
The primitive girl Vidag's eyes were filled with longing as she gazed at the iridescent silk, her delicate face practically screaming "I want it!"

But Su Li completely ignored him. He wasn't Wa Xuedi! If he wanted something, he'd have to offer an equivalent amount of wealth in exchange. Did he really think he could just use a woman's status and a few sweet words to make him grovel and offer up his treasures?

So Su Li replied, "This is a specialty of my territory, similar in status to the specialty of your Gem Pool."

Vidag stared intently at the rainbow silkworm silk in Su Li's hand, his eyes practically bulging with excitement, and quickly asked, "What are its effects?"

Su Li smiled and looked at the simple-minded girl, asking, "You can take a look."

Vidag immediately leaned down excitedly in front of Su Li, her bent-over revealing a perfect expanse of white skin to Su Li's eyes, instantly arousing his blood.
Coincidentally, Vidag's height only reached Su Li's waist. When she bent down, it was as if she was lying under Su Li. Then she raised her head and looked at Su Li cautiously, asking, "May I touch you?"

……

This was far too ambiguous. Even Ariana couldn't help but glance over. Was this primitive girl so impatient?

This scene really isn't Su Li's fault. Su Li has been very serious and calm ever since she arrived.

But any man, seeing a beautiful young girl who is almost naked, all white, lying beneath him, looking up at him with eyes full of tenderness and pleading, would not be able to remain unmoved!

Although Vidag is relatively short, she has great proportions, fair skin, a curvy figure, and long, slender legs that are completely exposed from her toes to her thighs.

Although Su Li wasn't Wa's junior, he wasn't exactly a saint either. It would be strange if he didn't react; what man could resist?
So he had to take a deep breath, step back, and say, "If you mean touching this iridescent silk, then that's fine."

"Of course it refers to this~" Vidag gave Su Li a strange look: "What else could it refer to?"

The water sprites behind her didn't understand either, and chattered around her: "What this human lord is saying is so strange. I feel like he's implying something else."

"Like other human men, will they be lured into the pool by beautiful women transformed from water spirits?"

"Should we conjure up a beautiful human woman to test him? A beautiful human woman, like Vidag? He does seem to have a different feeling towards Vidag. I can feel his breathing becoming heavy."

"But how do you seduce a man? I heard you have to take off all your clothes."

"And we can't speak! If we do, the men will notice our voices are strange. It means we have to be mute brides."

Su Li glanced at them; these little guys really dared to dream. But if it were a mute bride, it wouldn't be entirely impossible. They could transform into a naked woman swimming in the water—frankly, many men would find it hard to resist, right? Especially in the desolate wilderness, it would greatly amplify the evil in people's hearts.

The only thing to blame is the incredibly powerful shapeshifting magic of this world. Stories of beautiful women luring men into the water and leading them to their deaths are all too common. And the most powerful among them are undoubtedly the followers of sadomasochism; their succubi are always seen as the most handsome men or the most alluring women in the eyes of mortals.

Su Li sees one or two succubi infiltrating Black Forest Territory and causing trouble almost every month. Once Flashspear City is built, this number will inevitably increase further. How to deal with this is indeed a very important issue.

However, Vidag was completely oblivious to the chatter around her. She was completely absorbed in stroking the rainbow silk, her breath becoming unusually hot.

Su Li had to change the subject, otherwise the atmosphere would be too strange: "You could use this rainbow silk to make a dress as thin as a cicada's wing. Or you could make a pair of stockings with this silk for yourself to wear, which would be more in line with the atmosphere of the Gem Pool."

Vidag trembled with excitement at the thought of standing in the jewel pool wearing thin white stockings, with his beautiful legs shimmering with iridescent light between them.

She immediately looked at Su Li with sparkling eyes and asked expectantly, "Really? Can you give me this rainbow silkworm silk? I'm willing to do anything for it."

Willing to do anything?
Su Li's eyes lit up immediately—that was wonderful! "Would you be willing to do me a small favor?"

As she spoke, Su Li stuffed the rainbow silk into Vidag's arms. This silk weighed only one pound and couldn't be used to make anything particularly high-end. The territory's silk industry wouldn't truly take shape until after summer and autumn. Giving it to Vidag in exchange for her help was undoubtedly the most worthwhile option.

Before Vidag could respond, Su Li said directly, "I need you to help me create a homey atmosphere."

Although Vidag didn't understand what Su Li meant by "creating a homely atmosphere," she still immediately hugged the bundle of raw silk tightly to her chest, tucking it into the center of her bulging chest beneath the vines.

Just as Su Li said before, the rainbow silk and the environment of the gem pool are perfect. If she could further transform the rainbow silk into a light gauze-like veil or stockings, a rainbow would form wherever she walked.

With this effect, she will definitely be able to further expand the size of the Gem Pool, extending its reach to include the Star Moss Forest and the Corridor Garden.

Only when she could feel the soft silk against her chest did she feel slightly relieved, and then said, "I don't know what you mean by the atmosphere of home. I only know that the Gem Pool is my home and territory, just like your human manor. Living here makes me very happy. The expansion of the Gem Pool is like your humans expanding their manor and decorating their garden, which gives me a wonderful experience."

Su Li turned her head and looked at this beautiful place where spring reigns all year round. The reason why a large number of lilacs can be grown in the Fragrant Corridor Garden is because the unique climate here is very suitable for the growth of spices.

So Su Li pointed to the lilac trees blooming with snow-white flowers to the east and said, "Do you see that beautiful fragrant garden with its corridors? It's a product from the spice country in the far east."

Vidag looked in the direction Su Li was pointing, and the Fragrant Corridor Garden was indeed magnificent. The afternoon sun shone through the overlapping branches of the tall lilac trees, dyeing the thousands of snow-white flowers into translucent glass cups. The bell-shaped buds trembled in the wind, shaking off specks of gold dust.

The air beneath the flowers rippled gently, and a warm breeze blew by, carrying the delicate fragrance of lilacs, making one feel refreshed and relaxed, allowing one to clearly experience the gentleness and beauty of the world.

The mountains and rivers here are indeed like fine wine, gentle and timeless.

As Vidag looked at the lilac petals falling into the Gem Pool and smelled the fragrance in the enchanting warm breeze, he smiled and said, "We all love this beautiful garden. On behalf of everyone, I would like to express our gratitude to you. Your planting has made our Gem Pool even more beautiful."

"But what does this have to do with the atmosphere at home?"

“Of course it’s related,” Su Li said with a smile. “I need you to help a lady create a homey atmosphere. She will help you grow more spices. Don’t you want to plant more beautiful and fragrant spice plants around the Gem Pool?”

"Really?" Vidag was still too naive. She immediately said enthusiastically, "I'm willing to help. Please let this lady come over here quickly."

Su Li gave Ariana a wink, and Ariana immediately bowed slightly before leaving the rainbow pool.

Not long after Ariana left, a hoarse voice echoed from the pool: "Oh~ Su Li, my deepest bond, hahaha, you've come to see me again?"

Before the words were even finished, a massive figure leaped up from above the Rainbow Waterfall, obscuring a patch of shadow, and then landed directly in the Gem Pool, creating a huge splash.

With a splash, the guardian otter Capana's furry head emerged from the water, then eagerly swam to the shore and asked, "My good friend, what have you been up to lately?"

Su Li stroked its fluffy head, and Kappa rubbed against his palm with enjoyment. Before Su Li could answer, it eagerly continued, "I just went to St. Leonard's Bay and brought back three silver lobsters. One for me, one for Vidag, and one for you."

"This is a very delicious food, and after eating it, you will become exceptionally tough. You can control your energy and make a part of your body as hard as iron. Just like my claws, which can easily cut through the scales of venomous snakes and the armor of goblins, protecting the safety of the waters."

Can it make a part of the body as hard as iron?
Su Li coughed lightly. Children really do speak the truth. He hadn't wanted to accept the child's gift, but after hearing it, he had no choice but to accept.

After all, the Knight class is known for its high survivability and long health bar. Previously, items such as Dragon Bloodstone, Burning Pearl, and Emerald Spike had improved Su Li's vitality, stamina, and recovery ability to varying degrees.

This silver-armored crayfish is clearly designed to enhance a knight's defense, making them as tough as steel. Enemies simply can't cut through them; a sword strike will send sparks flying, but the health bar will barely change.

When the time comes, everyone will have to praise Su Li, saying, "This [Knight] is really tough!"

After accepting the still-live silver-armored crayfish, Su Li immediately changed the subject and asked, "Does Vidag still eat fish and shrimp?"

Vidag asked matter-of-factly, "Otherwise? Are you really living like a fairy, eating only dew and drinking only air?"

Kappa nodded immediately and said, "That's right, that's right. I'll often bring Vidag fresh river fish; she's a primitive girl who eats meat and fish."

Su Li asked in surprise, "Kappa, you can take river delicacies everywhere? And you can keep the fish and shrimp alive all the time?"

Then why should I cooperate with the Ramsay family?
In the end, it turns out the method for transporting the scaly fish had been right under my nose all along!
Kappa scratched his head sheepishly: "I can indeed carry fish and shrimp around, and they always survive, no matter how long it takes. However, they never survive more than 200 miles."

"Why? Can you only maintain your activity for 200 li?" "No, it's because I was carrying them in my mouth. Such delicious food, I couldn't wait 200 li before eating it."

At this moment, Bui poked its little head out from behind Kappa's fluffy neck and added, "The longest record is 187 miles, and that was only because I kept reminding it to hold back."

Well, transporting a few fish is quite costly. It's manageable for Kapa to transport them over a hundred miles, as the Lightscale Fish can be sold within the territory. But if it's tasked with long-distance transport, the losses would be enormous. A single Lightscale Fish costs hundreds of gold crowns; if it eats two, the profit wouldn't even cover the losses.

However, if the buyers are only about a hundred miles from Lake Reverlyn, then it seems unnecessary for Capa to transport the goods. Why don't their family just come to Hesse and eat there in person? There are even chefs in the town who can cook it for them for free.

Like a mischievous child, Kappa blushed and felt embarrassed, so he quickly changed the subject: "My friend, you still haven't told me what you came to the Gem Pool for."

Before Su Li could answer, Bu Yi interrupted, "He said he wanted to create a homely atmosphere for a beautiful woman, and she's from the far-off spice country in the East—they say the climate there is warm and spring-like all year round, just like our Gem Pool!"

"A beautiful woman? That's wonderful! As beautiful and gentle as Vidag?" Kappa was also very excited.

It doesn't have any animalistic desires; it's just a mischievous kid who simply likes beautiful and gentle girls taking care of it.

"Is our Gem Pool about to welcome a new member? Where is she?"

Amidst the commotion, Ariana returned from outside, bringing with her a graceful and beautiful woman. She was fragrant and had a slender waist and a slender figure.

As the beautiful woman approached, all the water sprites screamed and instantly hid behind Capa.

Kappa, the guardian otter, instantly bristled, put on all fours, exposed his sharp claws, and tensed his body, assuming a posture ready to attack at any moment.

"Snake! A snake has invaded our gem pool! My good brother, quickly hide behind me, let me protect you!"

The primitive girl Vidag immediately waved her hand, summoning a slingshot from the bottom of the water. Holding an emerald gem in her hand, she rode warily on Capa's back. If the snake woman Hela continued to approach, she would use the emerald gem as a projectile and shoot it at her with the slingshot.

This is her most important means of protecting the gem pool; the projectiles she fires will hit the target like arcane missiles, causing terrible magical damage.

Previously, Chaos Knights and Tzeentch followers had infiltrated this place, and Capa used this method to drive them away.

Even powerful elite Chaos Knights couldn't withstand this terrifying magical attack; the arcane missiles melted their armor and purified its corrosion.

Perhaps feeling it wasn't safe enough, Vidag shouted again, "Buyi, Lucy, go and call the Valkyrie. She is our strongest guardian, and we absolutely cannot let the evil Medusa pollute our gem pool."

In fact, Seranville had already emerged from beneath the Rainbow Waterfall where she had been cultivating; it was the source of the Gem Pool, at its deepest point. When Kappa excitedly leaped off the waterfall, the tremendous roar of the water startled her awake. Upon hearing that Su Li had arrived, she rushed there immediately.

Seeing Hela and Iriana standing behind Su Li, she seemed somewhat at a loss.

Su Li had no choice but to reach out and summon her to his side, saying, "Don't get excited. I'm just adding a new member to your Gem Pool, just like adding Thranville to your family. Hela isn't a serpent or Medusa, but a delicate and beautiful snake woman from the distant Spice Kingdom. In the Khajiit-ruled regions, they are renowned for cultivating and tending spices."

As he spoke, Su Li gave Ariana a wink, and Ariana stepped aside, taking Hela's fair arm and leading her forward.

As she approached, Vidag and Kappa tensed simultaneously, taking a step back while still watching her nervously: "Who knows if she's lying? Even vipers can lie! What if she drops her disguise and eats us all after you leave?"

Does Hela have this ability?
While it's true that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive, Hela couldn't possibly fool the eyes of so many chosen ones in the territory as well as Su Li's daily intelligence.

In fact, Hela is a weak witch, just like Ingrid and Annalise, whose magical abilities are mainly used for procreation.

Given Annalise's fighting ability, she would have trouble even carrying a few bottles of wine. If she really had any ideas, Capa could slap her so hard that she would stagger and never wake up again.

So Su Li reached out and wrapped his arms around Hela's fair waist. She really did have a slender waist; when he held her in his arms, he felt only her delicate and fragile nature.

Men who frequently hug different women know one thing: hugging different women feels completely different.

Some women are so soft and fleshy when you hug them that you can't help but want to hold them tight and even want to ravage them.

Some women are so slender and delicate that holding them feels like holding a tender treasure, making you want to gently care for them.

Hela was clearly the latter. Although her whole body involuntarily tensed for a moment when Su Li hugged her, she immediately nestled into Su Li's arms as if boneless, her fair and slender hands gently caressing Su Li's chest. This perfect, gentle, and tender temperament of an Eastern beauty was something that a female knight like the scheming Ansylvanas could never imitate.

This scene also greatly eased the hostility between Capa and Vidag. Such a beautiful, delicate, and gentle woman could not possibly be a monster like Medusa, who was full of resentment.

Seeing that Vidag had put away his slingshot and Kappa had also withdrawn his claws, Su Li pressed on, further dispelling their doubts, and said, "Hela isn't that kind of bad person. Besides, you have Thranville here, so there's no way Hela would do anything threatening."

Bui, Lucy, and other water sprites popped their heads out from behind Kappa, still pressing the issue: "What if Seranville isn't here?"

Su Li glanced at Hela, and for the first time, a bright light shone in the eyes of this delicate and melancholic beauty. She had already turned her head to look to the right, her gaze focused on the distant corridor and fragrant garden, as if she were looking at the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Su Li knew his plan was about to succeed! "Then I'll have Seranville bring her home and have her live with me."

Family?
This word finally brought a flicker of emotion to Hela's beautiful face. Her home was on a distant continent thousands of miles away, a place she could never return to. Could she still have a home of her own?
Vidag looked at the two people acting intimately with great curiosity: "Are you husband and wife? But I feel like she doesn't like you. And isn't your wife Thranville?"

Su Li shook his head and said with a smile, "I am a lord of humanity, and I can have many wives. However, you can treat Hela as my woman, just like Thranville."

A blush immediately appeared on Hela's fair face. She was a typical Eastern beauty, very reserved and shy. When she heard Su Li say that she was his woman, she lowered her head shyly. Easterners did not express themselves so directly, and after all, the two of them had not had much intimacy before.

However, she didn't refute this point; it was true that lords and officials in the East had many women. When they desired her, she knew she couldn't resist.

Su Li smiled and hugged the beauty in his arms tightly. She truly was a gentle and graceful Eastern beauty.

Touching her fair and slender waist and flat, smooth abdomen, Su Li felt that it was so tender that it seemed like she could squeeze water out of it.

Hela is actually very similar to a venomous snake. If such a venomous snake were a chosen one, it would be breathtakingly beautiful in the eyes of mortals.

Aside from not having as many deformed breasts as Selene, Hela's fair body was practically identical to Selene's.

She can accompany Su Li in her knightly training, but as for whether she can get pregnant, Su Li doesn't know.

At least in the Old World, the image of a venomous snake was still quite common, and there were quite a few brave people who dared to play with snakes.

Therefore, Vidag and Capa found Hela's image relatively easy to accept.

Vidag said, "If that's the case, then let's accept her as one of us. After all, we Primal Girls keep our word, and I promised before that I would do anything for you."

Hela raised her head upon hearing this, bowed slightly, and spoke in a gentle, husky voice, full of the magnetic charm of a mature woman: "Thank you. I won't cause you any trouble. I usually live in that fragrant garden with its corridors."

Su Li encouraged, "You can go and see your new home. With you here, this area is like a spirit beast that has taken up residence; it will become more vibrant."

Hearing Su Li's encouragement, Hela nodded gently, then turned her gaze to the beautiful, fragrant garden in the distance.

Her expression was complex, a mixture of reminiscence and longing, her clear eyes seeming to hold countless images. Gazing at the beautiful spice garden, she walked forward with almost reverence, her entire being exuding a captivating fragrance.

Seeing the corners of her lips murmur, Thranville's eyes widened instantly, and she excitedly hugged Su Li's arm with her soft arms, then pointed behind Thranville with her other hand!
Su Li couldn't help but smile excitedly. It had come true! Behind Hela as she gracefully walked by, a magical spice she had never seen before had indeed appeared!
