Chapter 39, Salamanders
After seeing this scene, the envoy's eyes couldn't help but light up, and his attitude towards Zhou Mingyue was even better.
Obviously, although this Baron Hunterney failed to activate the bloodline, his vision is not weak.
As an envoy of the noble senate of the kingdom, if you can't even recognize whether the bloodline is activated or not, then you are not qualified to be an envoy.
Soon, the humble canonization ceremony took place outside the valley.
Many soldiers lined up on both sides, and the peasants and slaves were naturally not qualified to approach.
Baron Hunterney, on behalf of His Majesty the King, accepted Zhou Mingyue's allegiance and placed a long sword on his left shoulder, conferring the title of independent knight, and also reading out the duties and rights of an independent knight.
Well, the duties of an independent knight are similar to those of ordinary nobles, that is, they pay a certain tax to the royal family every year, and they are required to undertake military service when His Majesty the king gives an edict.
However, in view of the new land reclamation, there is no need to pay taxes for the first three years.
In addition, independent knights enjoy the privileges of the nobility, such as killing people without serving a prison sentence, paying a fine, in addition to independent knights and their descendants can go to the royal academy of the national capital for further study, etc.
After the canonization ceremony, Zhou Mingyue became an independent knight, and in the future, others will not be able to call him Zhou directly, but need to add an honorific title, Lord Knight!
Of course, that's not to say it's over.
After that, Zhou Mingyue also needed to go to the national capital, record his family badge in the noble senate, and learn the noble badge.
This is also a helpless thing.
In this world, as a nobleman, it doesn't matter if you don't activate your bloodline, and it doesn't matter if you don't have a territory, but it's a very fatal thing to not understand the noble badge.
As a nobleman, if you don't know the identity of someone else's family badge when you see someone else's family crest, you are an unqualified nobleman.
In addition, the noble senate of the Kingdom of Flor exchanges information on the noble coat of arms with the noble senate of other countries every year to prevent such situations from occurring.
Baron Hunterny had enough of being here, and he was anxious to return to the warm capital, so he wanted to leave in a hurry after the ceremony.
However, Zhou Mingyue is not the kind of person who is not exquisite, and personally led a team of guards cavalry to escort him out of the country.
Baron Huntney was very satisfied with the souvenir presented by Zhou Mingyue, a large bag of gold sand and his personal escort: "Lord Knight Zhou, if you come to the royal capital, you must inform me that I have the best cheese wine waiting for you at home. ”
Seeing off Baron Huntney, Zhou Mingyue had no intention of going to the royal capital immediately.
After all, for him, this aristocratic status is just a cover-up, whether there is a family crest, or aristocratic privileges, has little impact on him.
So he returned to the valley and summoned Ness, who inquired about the valley and hurried back to the A3 tribe in a wyvern.
Digging more mines, creating more soldiers, and strengthening his strength are the next things he should do.
Of course, this is a long process.
With the passage of time, the ice and snow covering the earth melted and disappeared, and the temperature rose little by little, so that everything on the earth recovered, and the green began to spread rapidly on the earth.
Two months later, the A3 tribe deposits were excavated.
However, even if the two ore veins are hollowed out, War Magic Workshop+ will only produce 12 troops.
Among them, 2 teams of Wyverns, 4 teams of Guards Cavalry, 3 teams of Guards Infantry, and 3 teams of Guards Spearmen.
To be honest, according to Zhou Mingyue's thoughts, he was ready to invest all his resources on the most powerful Guards cavalry or flying dragons.
However, considering that the composition of the high-level troops is too single, which will affect the suitability of the army, he also had to give up his plan.
The A3 tribe's veins were depleted, and their value to Zhou Mingyue decreased dramatically.
Although there is a large plain suitable for cultivation nearby, Zhou Mingyue does not have enough manpower to develop it.
Well, he didn't want to put his energy into farming either.
It was enough to reclaim the valley, not only to repay the favor of the Tyrese family to save them, but also to barely be able to hide their identity.
However, what surprised Zhou Mingyue was that in the two months that the A3 tribe was mining, he sent griffons to inspect and found that the nearest barbarian tribe to the A3 tribe was 300 miles away!
According to the supply of products in this wild land, there will basically be a barbarian tribe in 60-90 miles.
Even if the A3 tribe defeated and eliminated a barbarian tribe before, it is reasonable that there should still be a barbarian tribe within 300 miles.
After sending out all 8 griffon cavalry, and after patrolling back and forth several times within this 300-mile range, Zhou Mingyue found a small volcano towering over the plain.
Well, this small volcano is only a little more than a hundred meters high, but there are a large number of herbivores living around it, but not a single wild beast appears.
There is no doubt that this is an anomaly.
After the griffin cavalry stared at it for half a month, Zhou Mingyue found out what the problem was.
There's a huge salamander in that little volcano!
Sitting on the back of the flying dragon, Zhou Mingyue looked at the salamander that was rolling in the magma below, his eyes were a little dull.
A prompt sounded in his head: "Advanced resource magma discovered!" Discover the Advanced Advanced Resource Salamander! ”
It was definitely something he hadn't thought of.
Magma is also an advanced resource!
It was an absolute bonus!
If he hadn't been calm, he might have ordered the army to besiege here.
But obviously, for now, it's a stupid thing to do.
That salamander wasn't a good stubble.
It is over 10 meters long and feeds on the predators around the volcano.
The fierce beasts around the volcano are not weak, and there are many brute bulls, stone lions, and the like, but they are completely vegetables in front of the salamander.
After observing for a few days, Zhou Mingyue temporarily dispelled the idea of dealing with the salamander.
No way, this salamander is too strong.
Its size is huge, its defense is extremely strong, and the magma it spits out has an extremely high temperature, and it can hunt and eat fierce beasts of the same size, just these points, Zhou Mingyue sent all his troops up, although it is possible to kill them, but the losses will be so large that he can't bear it.
But then again, after discovering that magma is also considered an advanced resource, Zhou Mingyue felt that he didn't have to hang himself from a tree.
What do you have to say, look for a volcano!
The lava comes from underground, and although it's a little low-level for the War Magic Workshop, it can be called inexhaustible!
This time, not only the 8 griffin cavalry were dispatched, but even the 8 freshly baked wyverns also set off, using the A3 tribe as the base point, and explored around the wilderness.
But Zhou Mingyue forgot a little.
The terrain of this wild area is mainly plains and hills, and under normal conditions, there is no possibility of a volcano.
