Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 340 Omen of War

Soon Owen figured out that the so-called specialty class was the sheep herding class. There were only two days of class a month, and the rest was all self-study.

Herding sheep and grazing, eating enough and eating less all depend on their own abilities.

If he had been treated this way in his previous life, Owen might have died happily, and then cried to death after entering society because he couldn't eat.

Although the class time is short, it is full of dry goods. A legendary alchemist and a master alchemist come up with various theories and data. If it were replaced by other alchemists here, I am afraid that I would have to kneel and listen.

But for the students other than Owen and Cortana, it's pure duck listening to thunder, what the hell is this?

However, as the course progressed, Owen and Cortana couldn't keep up. They were smart, but the relevant knowledge system couldn't keep up. It would be very difficult to get in touch with high-end things rashly, and it would take a lot of time to fill in the gaps.

Cortana can ask the teacher for advice, and Owen also has a group of subordinates. After asking them to help with the analysis, he can then activate Wisdom to copy.

In any case, Owen had a lot of time. After a few trials, he simply used the Portkey to go back and forth to the Northland. Anyway, it would not delay his collection of knowledge about Academy City. Gradually grow under the operation.

It’s hard for Karl, he was locked into a small black room by his sister from time to time, first he was pumped, then various props were put on in turn, and finally he was carried back to the Alchemy Department by a group of strong men in black tights, which became a scene in the academy city, Many students bet on this, and even came here to watch.

Now Karl finally understands that there is no future in fighting alone, so he started to find someone to join forces.

Carla was very pleased with his younger brother's growth. To encourage him, she pumped harder. She even didn't leave a coat for him when she sent him back, and even oiled him.

Think about a group of strong men in black tights with protruding backs like bunches of grapes, holding up a handsome man with welts and oil on his body to parade through the street. This scene makes men look hot and women can't walk away. One can imagine how famous Karl is in Academy City now.

Now Karl has let go of his revenge for killing his father, he just wants to kill Kara.

It has to be said that Kara succeeded to a certain extent. She succeeded in making her younger brother forget the old hatred, and now only the new hatred remains.

In the process, Owen, who helped come up with a lot of ideas and provided a lot of props, did not dare to take the credit and kept a low profile to prevent being mistaken for a pervert.

On the contrary, those hydra minions are more and more free of themselves. Once they wear tights and headgear, they don’t love anyone, and they secretly develop a lot of people. After all, when you are surrounded by perverts, you don’t It will look out of place.

Owen, who was aware of this, had nothing to do. Although he didn't want to be the leader of a group of perverts, the problem was that he had already gone nowhere since he was advising Kara. At this time, it was useless to prove his innocence. Being able to hide his identity, through Kara, senior sister, Obadi, and Brody, he controlled the Hydra interest study group, and set up a grading system like the one-eyed marinated egg, trying to avoid his identity from being discovered.

During this period of time, Owen focused most of his energy on the territory, because with the implementation of the canonization of nobles in the Northland, many forces in the empire will penetrate into the Northland. Although many opportunities have been brought and the development of the Northland has been accelerated, it is also Bring countless hidden dangers and disputes, such as the competition for population and resources.

Now the borders of the empire are wide open, allowing landless farmers and wealth-hungry merchants in the empire to enter the Northland, but the sparsely populated Northland's desire for population is endless.

This is very realistic, because both land development and army training require a large number of people to support them, so people competing for people on the border of the empire often happen. Owen's territory has not had a large number of refugees for a long time, only a small number of people who followed the caravan , which shows how fierce the competition for population is.

If the competition for population is fierce, then the competition for resources is fierce.

The North has never lacked resources, especially mineral veins.

Limited by manpower and material resources before, these veins could only sleep in the ground, because compared to digging these mines, farming to support oneself was more important, because the environment in the Northland back then could not buy gold bricks to eat.

But with the influx of a large number of refugees into the Northland and the formally canonized nobles of the Northland, these mines have value.

Nobles are qualified to have the ability to mine veins and turn them into wealth.

The problem is that some territories are barren iron mines, some are high-quality copper mines, and some are crazy gold mines, so conflicts and disputes arise.

This kind of contradiction and dispute is irreconcilable. If you have me or not, what you want to do is to rob. Those who are robbed are unwilling, so they can only fight desperately, so wars emerged.

Ferrier and Solari, the veteran earls of the Northland, are also having a difficult time today, and they are also facing challenges from emerging forces. The original monopoly on fur and horses in the Northland has become precarious.

These two things are the foundation of the two people's territory. Once there is a problem, it will not be far from collapse, so they can only fight, whoever touches the other, until no one touches.

Regarding the turmoil in the Northland, the empire ignored it. If there is no chaos, how can they have the opportunity to intervene? Besides, the empire does not intervene in the struggle between the nobles, unless mediation is required, and not all nobles are qualified to be mediated by the empire, at least Must be earl level.

The troubles are not limited to these. Through the black hand's intelligence network, Owen learned that Sylvia's father, Grand Duke Macaron, had finally taken action, but because he was in Academy City and exposed the blood of the elf royal family, he dared not Apparently, secretly leading an undercurrent against Beicheng.

At the same time, Sylvia also received a letter from her father, asking her to keep Owen's blood. Simply put, it is to improve the family's blood by leaving seeds behind.

Grand Duke Macaron dared to think that a witch with the blood of the elf royal family might not be worse than a demigod in some respects.

If these are just hidden dangers that have not yet erupted, then the sudden drop in temperature in the Northland this year is the prelude to a large-scale war.

Before halfway through autumn, a shallow layer of snow covered most of the Northland. This was not an auspicious sign of auspicious snow, but a sign that many people would die.

The farther north it gets, the colder and poorer it is, the more scarce food is. If Owen hadn't been hanging out, there wouldn't be so many fertile fields in Beicheng.

In contrast, the barbarians in the north depended entirely on the sky for their food, so they had to stock up enough food for one winter before winter, one person would die if there was less food for one person, and ten people would die if ten people died. so cruel.

Therefore, once faced with the problem of insufficient food, the barbarians in the north had no choice but to go all out, either hunting or robbing.

However, the large-scale cooling caused the difficulty of hunting to rise sharply. In contrast, going south to plunder became their only choice.
