Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning

In the past few days, the residents of Swamp Town all knew that the knights under the new lord were clearing out dangerous locations in the territory.

Perhaps for the safety of their own operations, or perhaps to enjoy the pleasure of a noble knight serving themselves, one or two volunteered to deliver information on dangerous areas to Swamp Castle.

Redal responded positively to the enthusiasm of the people.

On the one hand, he arranged for the newly arrived Grado to record all these dangerous locations. On the other hand, he divided the knights into three teams, with himself, Joffrey, and Rogner leading the teams to investigate these locations one by one.

Using this method of mobilizing the masses, aimless raids turned into precise strikes.

In the past few days, if nothing else, Swamp Castle has a lot more meat, with crocodile meat and green python meat being the most popular, which is a real feast for the knights and guards.

As for materials such as crocodile skin and snake skin, which were of limited value, Luo Ning did not ask any further questions, and Ruidal distributed them according to their military merits.

Perhaps it was because Leisen also carried out a cleanup during his tenure as Baron of Swamp Town, but the knights did not find traces of Warcraft in the areas around the town where the citizens often visited.

Although the harvest was limited, this operation left a "people-friendly" impression on the Marsh Castle in the hearts of the people, which greatly deepened the people's favorability towards the new lord.

As a lord, Luo Ning was not idle either. He devoted himself to the "Evaporation Project".

In the past two days, Wilson and Selin have planned and divided the work of the residents. Some people are responsible for plowing the land, while others are responsible for digging fertilizer.

Some areas can be mined directly, but some areas require proper drainage before mining organic fertilizers.

Not only is this a labor-intensive job, it's also very time-consuming.

It is now late January, spring plowing is around the corner, and what is missing is time.

So Hu Luoning thought of a simple but efficient way - to use the high temperature brought by fire magic to properly evaporate the water.

Luo Ning has been learning new magic since he broke through and became a great magician. Now he has mastered the fourth-level magic flame beam.

This is a spell that can last up to ten seconds. It not only brings huge high temperatures, but also has the characteristics of covering a wide area.

Luo Ning looked at the wetland in front of him. Below it was silty soil and above it was covered with water. This was the area he needed to dry out next.

At this time, his mental power was carving the spell pattern of the flame beam a dozen meters away.

Only after being promoted to a great magician can you cast spells at a distance, and as Luo Ning began to increase the magician level, the distance of casting spells seemed to have been slightly improved.

He has used the flame beam magic countless times and is already familiar with it.

As the spell lines were carved, the magic power in the mana space was quickly extracted. The spell lines lit up with red light, absorbing the fire elements in the surrounding heaven and earth. With a buzzing sound, a huge flame beam rose out of thin air on the water.

snort~
When fire comes into contact with water, the ultra-high temperature directly evaporates the water, bringing thick water vapor that blocks the sight in front of you.

But Luo Ning didn't need to observe anything, he just needed to maintain this spell.

Ten seconds later, the spell lines rippled for a moment, and then quickly dissipated. At the same time, the flames also disappeared into the air.

After the wind blew away all the mist, the water floating on the surface in front of us had completely evaporated, and even the ground seemed to be dry.

However, if mining is carried out, the upper surface of the land will be dug up, and there will still be moist silt underneath.

“It’s so efficient!”

Luo Ning was very satisfied with the effect. He really hoped that there would be a fire-attribute magician in the territory, so that he could serve as the "captain of the swamp mining team".

It's a pity that besides him, there are only three magicians left in the territory. One is of light attribute, and the other two are of water attribute.

"However, it is said that water magicians can control water flow when they reach level five. This can also help drain the swamp, right?"

That being said, becoming a fifth-level chief magician is not an easy task. Take Jenny, for example. Although Redal said that she has shown signs of breakthrough recently, even if she successfully becomes a senior magician, she will still be thirty-four years old.

To be honest, this kind of cultivation talent is not low, but it will take at least more than thirty years for her to become the chief magician.

In comparison, her daughter Irene will definitely be more outstanding. If she practices well, she might be able to become a fifth-level magician before she is thirty.

But this still takes more than ten years.

For more than ten years, this swamp of light must not have been fully developed, and perhaps there is still room for Irene to use it.

"Sir~"

A cavalryman galloped over, "Chahar asked me to come here to inform you that Mr. Anthony from Muma City has brought the slaves here."

Luo Ning's eyes lit up, he got on the Cloud-Stepping Horse and returned to the castle.

"You're here, why don't you bring any gifts?"

"Hahaha, congratulations, sir, on becoming the Viscount of Wubei Territory. Please don't dislike these gadgets."

In the Swamp Castle, Ronin shook hands with Anthony warmly.

The other party not only brought slaves this time, but also brought some crystal carvings, books and stationery, a dozen bows and thousands of arrows.

Although the value is only more than a hundred gold coins, which is less than one-tenth of what Luo Ning spent on the other party, it is not small. At least Anthony can do business.

The other party should be able to see that Wubei Territory needs development, and development requires manpower, and there is a shortage of manpower here.

Judging from the last two transactions, Anthony does not feel that Luo Ning is short of money, especially now that he has become the Viscount of Wubei Territory.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Viper Slave Trade, Luo Ning is a high-quality big customer.

It is necessary to use hundreds of gold coins to maintain relationships with major customers.

Sure enough, in the following conversation, Ronin revealed that he needed to buy slaves, which made Anthony overjoyed.

There is no way, there are not many ways to obtain people. Although buying slaves costs some money, it is the fastest way to get people.

Although Luo Ning knows that this is immoral and deprives human beings of basic rights and dignity, now he can only follow the Romans and use this method.

The only thing he can do is to be nice to these slaves, let them work for him with enough food, and then give them a way to escape their fate.

"This time, let's buy two thousand slaves first."

Luo Ning thought for a while and quoted a number, "However, I still have a deal I want to make with you."

Anthony was already feeling happy. Since the order was negotiated last year, his status in the Viper Slave Exchange has risen sharply.

Not only did he negotiate a big deal today, but he also had other deals to do, which really made him overjoyed.

"Sir, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to complete it for you!"

Luo Ning nodded and said, "Actually, I mainly want to talk to you about this matter, not the slave exchange behind you."

"I?"

Anthony blinked, not understanding what Ronin meant. (End of chapter)
