Lord blessed by the elves

Chapter 25 Letter

To the esteemed Lord Reyes Lionfang, the guardian of Lionfang Territory and my lord:

May this letter travel across mountains and rivers and reach you safely.

I am your loyal knight, Wilstone Stone Shield.

As I write this today, my heart is filled with complex emotions that are hard to describe. There is a deep concern for you, and also excitement about the recent changes in Lion Fang Territory, which I urgently need to report to you.

First, please allow me to report the most important good news that can dispel the long-standing gloom in Lion Fang Territory: Young Master Kruze has successfully condensed a Qi vortex in his own Qi Sea on the morning of the third day after returning to the territory, and has officially stepped into the realm of apprentice knight!
My lord, when that pure and resilient fighting spirit light rose from the young master's training ground and dispelled the morning mist, all the soldiers and servants who witnessed this scene were moved to tears and cheered in unison!
This means that the long-standing concerns about succession in Lion Fang Territory have finally vanished.

The eldest young master not only inherited the glory of the Lion Fang family bloodline, but also won absolute recognition of his strength and status through his own perseverance and talent!

Throughout the territory, people were greatly reassured and filled with unprecedented confidence in the future.

Please rest assured, the next generation of lions in Lion Tooth Clan is steadily honing their claws and teeth.

Although the eldest young master has only been back for a month, his leadership skills and pragmatic spirit have already impressed and even shocked us.

He did not linger on the glory of being a trainee knight, but immediately devoted himself to governing the territory. His broad vision and pragmatic methods far exceeded our expectations.

The most significant change began with the land. The young master, from who knows where, had communicated with some learned sorcerers and learned a strange technique called "fertilization".

This method is not magic, yet it surpasses magic!

He personally led the serfs and some soldiers on leave to dig deep pits on the edge of the territory, mixed human and animal excrement, weeds, fallen leaves, and even discarded bone fragments and kitchen waste, and covered them with soil to decompose.

At first, everyone was skeptical, and some even privately complained about the unbearable smell. However, when the first batch of dark brown, earthy-scented "natural fertilizer" was spread into the newly cultivated pea field, within just a few days, the originally barren and whitish soil visibly turned dark and soft, as if it had regained its breath!
The old serfs stroked the land, so excited they were incoherent, saying they had never seen such fertile "divine soil." The young master said that this fertility could sustain the land and benefit it for several seasons to come.

These methods of turning decay into magic not only save on the expense of buying expensive fertilizers, but also fundamentally enhance the productive potential of our land!
The serfs were more motivated than ever before because they saw real hope.

Another major issue concerning the survival of the territory is the condition of the pea sprite "Green".

My lord, to be honest, after you left, "Greenery" was in a very worrying state. The barren land had taken a heavy toll on it, and its essence was showing signs of instability. However, after the young master returned, he took this matter very seriously.

He not only managed to raise funds to purchase the precious jade powder (the details of which are complex and will be reported later), but also devised a comprehensive recovery plan: once the peas are harvested this season, the "green" cordyceps will be immediately moved to the newly cultivated twenty acres of pea fields to reduce its burden and supplement it with jade powder for nourishment.

Now, thanks to the effects of the jade powder, "Qingcui" has escaped danger, its emerald luster is gradually being restored, and the sound of its wings flapping has become powerful again.

The young master personally takes care of the place every day, and his meticulous care shows how much he values ​​the foundation of the territory.

We all believe that once the relocation plan is completed, "Greenery" will be able to fully recover its vitality, and may even surpass its former glory.

In addition, the young master discovered a new crop with great potential!
This matter is still in its initial stage, and the details still need to be verified, but its significance may be no less than that of composting techniques.

This crop is called "purple root melon". Although it looks unappealing and is initially poisonous and requires special treatment, the young master firmly believes that it has a very high yield and can serve as an important supplementary food source, and may even become the key to surviving a famine!
He has secretly ordered Butler Buffet to organize a manpower to collect it, and arranged for the old serf Camis and his family, who discovered it, to be responsible for trial cultivation. If they can successfully domesticate and cultivate it, the food crisis in Lion's Tooth Territory may truly come to an end! This is the glory of knights shining upon Lion's Tooth!

My lord, though I am but a knight and not skilled in literature, I have witnessed with my own eyes that Lion Fang Territory is undergoing profound changes since the young master's return.

Inside the castle, the servants walked with lighter steps; in the fields, the serfs worked with straighter backs.
In the barracks, the soldiers' shouts during drills were louder.

This is a long-lost breath of hope, which is sprouting anew on this barren yet resilient land.

The young master is decisive and thoughtful, possessing both the courage of a knight and the wisdom and responsibility of a lord.

He not only focused on the glory of knighthood, but also devoted his energy to the most fundamental foundations: the land, agriculture, and the basic needs of his people.

I dare to predict that if you return next time, you will see a Lion Tooth Territory that is full of vitality and has a brand new look!
Although the road ahead remains difficult, the finances are still tight, and the shadow of powerful enemies has not yet dissipated, with young master Kruse at the helm, we followers are filled with unprecedented strength and hope!

Finally, I implore you, my lord, to take good care of your health. Lion's Tooth Territory needs you, and we eagerly await your return day and night.

All matters concerning the territory will be overseen by the young master. We will do our utmost to assist him, fulfill our duties, and guard every inch of Lion Fang Territory until your triumphant return!
May the God of War bless you with great military success!

Your most loyal knight and servant,

Wilstone Stone Shield

At Lion Tooth Fort
Twenty-seventh day of the Golden Harvest Month

Wilstone had just sealed his secret letter to the lord with scalding hot lion's tooth seal wax; the red marks of the wax, like congealed blood, were branded onto the rough parchment.

He solemnly handed the letter to his most trusted messenger, repeatedly instructing him to personally deliver it to Lord Reyes the Lion.

Only after watching the soldier's figure disappear at the end of the castle passage did Wilstone breathe a sigh of relief, as if a huge burden had been lifted.

However, before he could fully exhale, a hurried and slightly immature shout came from around the corner of the corridor, breaking the tranquility of the study:
"Sir Knight Commander! Sir Knight Commander Wilstone!"

Wilstone looked in the direction of the sound and saw his squire, Eddin, running up breathlessly.

The boy was only fifteen years old, wearing a slightly oversized militia leather armor that had been washed until it was faded, and the training sword at his waist clanged as he ran.

His face was flushed red, and fine beads of sweat clung to his forehead, clearly indicating that he had run all the way here.

Edin was one of the few promising young militiamen who showed signs of developing a faint fighting spirit. Wilstone valued his potential and honesty, and took him under his wing to train him.
