Elf Lord, intelligence updated daily.

Chapter 6 Look at your performance
More intelligence updates!

It seems that the intelligence is updated at noon every day.

This intelligence update includes information about Xuefu, the knight, and the town's residents.

There are also Warcraft and Elf Bugs.

Two days later, at dawn, a new fairy insect will be born in Rose Castle.

This message is essentially meaningless.

In two days, he simply couldn't get from Sandstone Town to Rose Castle.

Moreover, Rose Castle was not part of his territory.

It's almost impossible to harvest sprites from someone else's territory.

However, this is also good news.

This means that there is a high probability that one of the daily intelligence reports will be related to the Sprite Bug.

The only useful piece of information today is the fourth one.

A vicious dog on the verge of death will appear on the road leading to Tieling Town.

The Violent Hound is also a low-level magical beast, and it has several times more flesh than the Fire Rabbit.

If the Knights bring the Violent Dogs back today, we can have an extra meal tomorrow!

After lunch, Loren found Liz.

"Captain Liz, this afternoon I would like to ask you to send two knights to patrol the mountain road in Iron Ridge Town until sunset."

"Yes!"

Liz stopped asking why.

Loren had demonstrated his accurate premonition, and Liz had no reason not to believe him.

Loren doesn't plan to travel with the knights today.

He wants to start training with the Cavaliers today.

Before Xuefu returned, Loren took out the Rye Fairy Worm.

The little guy is dozing off in the jade box.

It's noticeably fatter than it was in the morning.

This indicates that the cordyceps is growing very well.

Loren took out the magic jade powder and sprinkled it on his hand.

The rye sprite worm opened its eyes at the smell and began to enjoy its lunch.

Fairy insects are magical creatures.

Absorbing the magic jade can replenish its magic power and accelerate its growth.

According to the memory in my mind.

The key to the evolution of the fairy insect lies in the plant species.

The more plant species there are, the higher the probability of the spirit insect evolving.

Take rye as an example.

There are several types of rye, including winter rye, spring rye, perennial rye, and wild rye.

Within the range of Cordyceps' radiation, the more types of rye there are, the easier it is for the Rye Fairy Insect to evolve.

Unfortunately, he didn't understand hybridization breeding...

In the afternoon, Xuefu returned to the castle.

She has already assigned the fertilization plan, and now she finally has time to rest.

After lunch, Xuefu went to the training ground outside the castle for training.

Loren was also there.

Xuefu looked surprised. "You wanted to see me about something?"

"Have you taken care of everything regarding the farmland?"

Xuefu nodded.

"I've already had the Knights make the arrangements; they'll prioritize fertilizing the rye fields these next few days."

As she spoke, Xuefu couldn't contain her curiosity any longer.

"Why do you know all this? This kind of knowledge wasn't taught in the academy."

Not to mention the academy, probably very few people in the entire Elf Kingdom know the benefits of fertilization.

Everyone believed that high-quality soil and the help of insect spirits would improve the yield and quality of food.

But no one ever thought that fertilizing could make the soil more fertile.

Xuefu was really curious: how did Loren know all this knowledge?
If he knew this, why did he do nothing about it before?
Did he suddenly realize his mistake, or did he become a different person?

But in any case, Xuefu only hopes that the old Loren will never come back.

Loren didn't explain. "Teach me swordsmanship. I want to become a knight."

Xuefu was slightly surprised. "Are you sure?"

"Of course, even my eighteen-year-old sister can become a high-ranking knight, so my knightly talent should be quite good as well."

Xuefu couldn't help but exclaim, "Lady Loris is indeed exceptionally talented."

With a serious expression, Xuefu said, "Since you've decided to train, you must stick to it. Let's start with basic training today."

Basic training, also known as physical fitness training.

Loren had a similar experience before, during military training. After an afternoon of intense training, Loren simply couldn't take it anymore.

"Snow... Snowflake, isn't this training intensity a bit off?"

Xuefu remained calm. "It's because your physical condition is too poor."

"Shouldn't knight training involve learning breathing techniques?" Loren asked.

Because the original owner of this body used to be lazy and always slept, Loren knew nothing about knight training.

He thought that knight training started with breathing techniques.

"Of course not. You haven't even mastered the basics, how can you practice breathing techniques?"

Finally, Loren could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.

Xuefu's training was truly ruthless.

Seeing that Loren was exhausted, Xuefu did not add any new training content.

Loren's ability to hold on for so long has far exceeded her expectations.

But the most difficult time is yet to come.

Nobles almost always start training from a young age to become knights.

Loren is already twenty years old, so his training process will naturally be more arduous.

After leaving the training ground, Xuefu called Anna to help Loren take a bath.

Anna asked cautiously, "My lord, would you like me to help you up?"

Loren waved his hand with difficulty, "I can do it myself."

Having someone to wait on you is a very happy thing.

Especially when you can't reach your back while showering.

After a hot bath following training, Loren felt all his fatigue disappear.

After dinner.

The patrolling knights returned, bringing back a ferocious dog.

"My lord is truly amazing! This patrol has really yielded results!"

"I wonder if the adults will share meat with us this time."

Liz slapped their helmets twice.

"Stop dreaming about such good things. Patrolling the territory is your job. Keep a straight mindset!"

"Yes! Captain!"

Were any other discoveries made during the patrol?

"Yes, Captain! We've spotted several bandits on the mountain path."

They killed this vicious dog.

They ran away as soon as they spotted us.

"Bandits?"

Liz frowned.

"I understand. Give this vicious dog to the kitchen and let them take care of it and put it in the warehouse."

"Yes!"

Liz went to the lord's office to report on the patrol.

To her surprise, Loren and Shirley were chatting casually in the office, looking quite amicable.

When did their relationship become so good?
"My lord! The knights we sent out on patrol this afternoon have returned. They brought back the carcass of a ferocious hound, and also discovered several bandits."

"Bandits?"

Loren seemed to be deep in thought.

Refugees or knights who were unwilling to serve the nobility were likely to become bandits.

Their ability to kill the ferocious hound indicates they possess at least the strength of a novice knight.

"Strengthen the defenses on the Tieling Mountain Road, pay attention to the movements of that bandit group, and prevent them from threatening the residents of Shashi Town."

Starting tomorrow, when you have some free time, go to Tieling to investigate the bandits' hideout, but try not to alert them.

"Yes!"

Liz finished speaking and took her leave.

With her mid-level knight strength, dealing with a group of bandits was more than enough.

After Liz left, Shirley continued to recount the situation in Sandstone Town.

This includes information such as the number of households in the town, and how many of them are farmers, blacksmiths, or other professions.

Seeing that it was getting late, Loren tentatively asked, "Sherry, we only have two maids in our house. Isn't it a bit of a waste of manpower for them to serve both of us separately?"

Xuefu stared coldly at Loren. "So?"

"Hmm... if we live together, wouldn't we only need one maid to serve us?"

Loren's intentions were obvious.

Surprisingly, Xuefu did not refuse immediately.

She thought for a moment and said, "It depends on your performance."

Loren was overjoyed; there was hope!
