Elf Lord, intelligence updated daily.

Chapter 23 The Fifth Elf Bug
The remaining two pieces of information are both related to dragons.

One is that the Ice Dragon Lord on the other side of the Elf Sea is about to lay a dragon egg.

The Elf Sea is vast and boundless, making it unrealistic to cross it to the other side, and obtaining a dragon egg from a dragon is pure fantasy.

Aside from the Elf Queen, who would dare to have designs on a dragon?

However, we could try to obtain the treasure left behind by the dragon on the unknown island.

Loren is currently only a novice knight. If he wants to explore the sea, he either needs to improve his strength as soon as possible or find helpers.

Loris is a good choice.

She is a high-ranking knight with considerable strength.

From the current perspective, they are also a good ally.

Based on the intelligence updated in August, Loren was once again convinced that the value of monthly intelligence far exceeded that of daily intelligence.

Following this logic, will there be more valuable annual intelligence at the beginning of next year?

Loren suppressed his excitement.

The most important thing now is to improve our strength, so that we won't be unable to do anything when we need to gather intelligence.

There are three ways to improve your strength: knight training, witchcraft practice, and evolution into an elf insect.

If we can acquire the treasure of the unknown island as soon as possible, we might be able to quickly improve our strength!
Loren decided to explore the Elf Sea.

Instead of letting others discover the island first, let's cooperate with Loris and share the treasure.

Of course, the collaboration had to be postponed.

Before that, he couldn't miss the caravans coming to Shashi Town.

In August, the farmers in Shashi Town finished their harvest and began implementing a new fertilization program as instructed by Xuefu.

After fertilization, the rye and wheat fields will be left idle for a month before new wheat seeds are sown the following month.

Peas will be planted in the tomato fields, and pea shoots will be harvested after a while.

The road repair plan was sent by Lolis.

The simultaneous commencement of road construction in Shashi Town and Jinhai Town will significantly shorten the construction period, aiming to complete the project within one month.

The development of Sandstone Town also benefited Loris, so when she received caravans, she would always suggest that they pass through Sandstone Town.

This is why there are more caravans in August.

At the beginning of the month, a caravan passed through Shashi Town late at night, bringing five sugarcanes with them.

"My lord, these five sugarcanes are worth 200 gold coins, not a penny less."

Compared to Triss of the Dragonflame Caravan, Ms. Aisha was not so easy to talk to.

"You're asking for the moon!" Loren was taken aback by the exorbitant price.

Lady Elsa smiled and said, “My lord, you should know how precious sugar is in the Elf Kingdom.”

If these five sugarcanes are cultivated properly, their value will far exceed two hundred gold coins.

If you purchase sugarcane, I can also provide you with methods for growing it.

Loren sneered, "Do you think I don't know how difficult it is to grow sugarcane?"

Elsa was somewhat surprised.

Nobles generally don't know anything about farming, and she assumed Loren was the same.

"But I still won't lower the price. There will always be people willing to pay a high price to try it out; they're not as smart as you, Lord."

Elsa's expression was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

She's right; not everyone knows the conditions for sugarcane to mature.

There will always be foolish nobles who will spend money to cultivate sugarcane, especially when Aisha provides the planting methods.

"If I buy the sugarcane, can you give me some extra goods as a gift? Like common plant seeds."

Loren had noticed the watermelon seeds in the carriage long ago.

Aisha looked at Loren with suspicion.

She carefully examined the goods inside the carriage.

Loren disliked this unscrupulous businessman.

This guy has an overly keen sense of smell.

"I'm sorry, my lord, these seeds are quite expensive. If you need them, please let me know, and we can discuss the price separately."

Loren casually pointed to the tomato seeds in the car. "How much is this bag?" Aisha thought for a moment. "100 gold coins."

Loren had nothing to say.

Tomato seeds worth less than 1 gold coin can yield a price as high as 100 gold coins.

This guy is just mindlessly inflating prices.

Loren couldn't help but retort, "Are all the Nightfall family's caravans as shrewd as you?"

Aisha understood Loren's unspoken meaning. "My lord, the Nightfall family is insignificant, and family reputation is not important. Besides, I only offered a higher price, but I am absolutely honest."

It seems almost impossible to buy the seeds from her at a low price.

After some haggling, Loren finally bought five sugarcanes and a bag of watermelon seeds for 280 gold coins.

If it can be planted on a large scale, it will definitely not be a loss.

Both sugarcane and watermelon are quite valuable crops.

The question is how long it will take Loren to develop the magic to cultivate plants.

If the research yields no results, then his money will have been wasted.

Ms. Aisha smiled broadly. "Sir, I look forward to seeing you grow these two crops. Also, do you have any goods for sale?"

Shashi Town is just beginning to develop.

New crops such as potatoes, black rose barley, purple barley, and brewing rye are all in the development stage.

Loren naturally wouldn't sell it.

Elsa was not disappointed.

She had high expectations for Shashi Town.

Loren knew that sugarcane was difficult to cultivate, but he was still willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.

This suggests that Loren is trying, and may even have found, a way to cultivate sugarcane.

Once sugarcane is cultivated, Shashi Town will surely prosper.

[Today's information has been updated]

[Intelligence 1]: You have become a novice knight under Xuefu's guidance. She now has a great liking for you and trusts you completely.

[Intelligence 2]: You have learned Lesser Illusion, Frozen Touch, and Fire Arrow, and have become an apprentice wizard.

[Intelligence 3]: Through persistent training, Xuefu is about to break through and become a mid-level knight.

[Intelligence 4]: This afternoon, Cordyceps militaris will capture a raging bison.

[Intelligence 5]: Three days later, a Cabbage Fairy Bug will be born in the farmland of Sandstone Town.

New information update: After a month, a new Bug Pokémon has been born in Sandstone Town!

The soil fertilization has gradually shown results.

The number of fairy insects harvested in the future will increase.

The rest of the intelligence was mostly summaries of the current situation and not very valuable.

Xuefu's promotion was also reasonable.

She trains diligently every day, and recently she has been practicing combat with Loren frequently, so her battle aura level has naturally improved.

Loren was pleasantly surprised that the thorny elm cordyceps could capture the raging bison.

He originally intended to use the thorny elm tree to stop the monster invasion.

Unexpectedly, they could not only block it, but also have the opportunity to capture it.

If the thorny elm worm evolves into a small sprite, it might become a major force in capturing magical beasts.

Three days later, Loren harvested the Cabbage Fairy Worms.

This is his fifth sprite insect.

With these five sprite bugs, Sandstone Town can be said to have completely escaped its predicament.

His next task is to further develop Shashi Town.

August 10th arrived, and Loren got up early to head to the coastal town.

Loren had written to Lolis long ago, telling her to prepare a large amount of gold coins in advance; he wondered how well she was doing.

Evolution crystals aren't that cheap.
