Chapter 501: Layout

The vegetation of the cave was destroyed by the Great War, and there are scorched marks everywhere, and there are very few plants left.

There weren't many plants to be found, but Hu Tao was not discouraged, smiling and squatting in the grass, trying to pick it up like a grasshopper.

"It's so stupid, I have the greatest wealth but I don't know how to use it, don't say I'm your mentor, I can't afford to lose that person!"

The elemental arm grabbed the whip and stretched it out, and it was a jerk towards Downton's back.

"I know I'm wrong!"

Downton hurriedly apologized.

Homer forgave Downton, but didn't stop, this kid is too good, he hasn't had a chance to clean him up for a long time, and now he has caught the handle, but he has to get his money back.

Downton didn't know that Homer was in the Gazette for personal vendettas, so he found a relatively intact piece of land, cleared the weeds, and after digging deeply, planted the coffee beans.

Take out a bucket and smash it open, Homer drops half a drop of the Fountain of Life into it, and Hu Tao immediately shakes it vigorously.

"Won't it be too little?"

Downton felt that Homer was too picky, and that the half drop of spring water was not as big as the dew that had condensed on the grass in the morning.

"You know what? If you pour too much, you'll die. ”

Without waiting for Downton to answer, the elemental arm turned into a spoon, scooped a scoop, and sprinkled it on the newly cultivated land.

A rainbow immediately appeared, and then a magical scene occurred.

The dew descended and moistened the soil, and as if by magic, the green shoots broke through the soil and continued to grow wildly until they were three meters high.

Downton was dumbfounded, and in just a few breaths, a coffee garden appeared in front of him, filled with green, and then the flower bones bloomed. Then it fell and turned into a round and jade fruit.

Hu Tao stretched out and touched it, picked one and threw it into his mouth.

"Spit it out!" Downton was startled at the rattling sound.

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous. Homer reassured, "The amount of spring water is just right." You don't know the way, the fountain of life also has an effect, which can stimulate the life limit of plants, and now these coffee plants are probably the strongest in this world. ”

"Harvest!"

Downton didn't bother with that, and was busy picking coffee beans.

In less than ten minutes, the entire cave was filled with Downton coffee, and after several seasons of harvest, more than a ton of coffee beans had been stored.

"Alright. Enough to keep the seeds. ”

Homer urges that he has been away for too long, and if he doesn't do it, he will arouse suspicion.

Downton returned, finding that the specially selected vintage had not disappointed, and that the Krupp sent had fallen drunk to the ground.

"Quick, pretend to be asleep!"

Downton made up for a sleep.

Returning to the tribe again, Downton received disappointing news that the chief had agreed to send a mercenary to help in the battle. But he needs to take out the drawings of the steam airship to return it.

"How dare you open your mouth?"

Downton snorted coldly.

"Our people's lives are not so cheap!"

The chief thinks that Downton has a request for people, so he sits firmly on the Diaoyu Tai. Besides, the Nine Great Empires have set up teleportation arrays and have always had trade contacts with these tribes, so they are not short of allies and supplies.

"Good, just as if I didn't say anything!"

Downton deliberately put on an angry expression and left, jokes, airships are still useful. In addition to economic value, there is also political significance, if it is given to Krupp, these guys will definitely sell it all over the world.

"Hmph, the sky of the entire Western Earth Continent. I can only let my Downton's airship soar!"

After calming Hu Tao, who was about to fight, Downton pondered that he had to teach these guys a lesson, but he was too blind.

In the stone house set up by the teleportation array, when he saw Thyssen leading eight families, a total of thirty-six people, back, Downton was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth, and immediately advanced half a year's salary, promising a good reward.

Not all giants are strong and like to go out hunting, and there are also thin ones among the giants, and after hearing that they can use the forging craft to make money and eat well, some giants are tempted.

The harsh environment of the secret realm has created powerful magical beasts, and the danger of hunting is naturally not small, even the most brave warriors dare not say that they will return every time, and they pity the parents of the world, and no one wants to see their children and grandchildren work hard.

The effect of Downton wooing Thyssen finally came out, the Krupps didn't believe in other humans, but he was absolutely fine, didn't he see the chief's son follow him, and when he looked at the face and muscles, he knew that he ate well every day.

With a group of craftsmen in tow, the repair of the airship could be brought forward a little earlier, and Downton now hoped that Placido would come later to give him plenty of time to recuperate.

"Lady Luck is so good to me!"

After making a cup of coffee himself, Downton sat in his office in the hall of Morning Mist, admiring the scenery of the distant mountains, and he finally had time to be lazy.

"What a fart, do you know that Placido hasn't appeared yet, it's because he's trying to win over allies and set up plans, you don't even count as a dish in his eyes, and it's the royal family and the other dukes of the Three Realms who have to deal with it. ”

Andrea walked into the room and grumbled angrily.

"Are your centaurs here?" Downton poured a cup of coffee, "sugar or honey?"

"Here, but I didn't expect Pharfo to make a move, this time he sent a Templar Order, a priesthood!"

The female priestess was worried.

"It's only two, it's a small thing. ”

"What do you know? That's the most elite force of the Holy See in Frankfurt, and they're enough to sweep away your hill natives. ”

The female priestess glanced at Downton, "You're still a clergyman, and you don't even understand this?"

"Hehe, what a big stroke, it seems that I still have a little weight in their hearts. Downton handed the coffee to the priestess.

"It's said that it's not you, it's to deal with the Marquis of Boas's St. Tottenham Legion, because of your fuse, the royal capital has been surging recently, and many people have died. ”

The female priestess took a sip of coffee, and her brow, which was originally frowning because of worry, suddenly loosened, and then wrinkled again, and took a sip with a surprised face.

This time she drank very seriously, and the sweetness after the bitterness was savored, as if the whole person was in the garden where the honey flowed.

"What kind of coffee is this?"

Andrea asked.

"Doesn't it taste good?"

Downton was proud. The heroine is from a wealthy and aristocratic family, so she can ask everything, and it seems that she can make a lot of money from her cash crops.

"The taste is also very good!"

The careful taste of the female priest, the soft and fragrant liquid, is undoubtedly the greatest enjoyment for the taste buds.

"The crops I found in the secret realm are going to be planted on a large scale next year. Downton looked at the priestess with a smile. Five fingers were raised.

"Little Slippery Head, you and Elaine are both my students, will I treat you badly?" Andrea snorted, but also sighed that Downton was delicate.

Although the relationship between teachers and students is close, it is only for themselves, and there is no interest in the family, investing in two future young talents?

"I'll plant them all over the West. Then sell it all over the Western Earth Continent, so that every nobleman must have this drink on their table. ”

"Shhh

Listening to Downton's account of his plan, Andrea couldn't help but gasp, if she really did, it would be a huge amount of income, this kind of coffee she had just drunk, it was definitely the best product.

"The land in the west is barren, and nothing grows. In addition to volcanic coffee, volcanic oats are an exception. I have seen their abundant harvests, wine-making, bread-making, and prosperity for the people, and an inexhaustible supply of taxes. "Downton deliberately replaced it with 'we' to create a sense of belonging for the female priestess.

"Fifty percent of the proceeds will be shared with me, are you willing?" the female priestess took a deep breath. Awakened from her fantasy, she is a religious person, and at the same time a spokesperson of political power, and she will not be fooled by a sentence or two.

"What if you're unwilling, I don't have a choice!"

Hear Andrea's analysis. Downton realized the seriousness of the matter, even if he won the battle against Placido, there would be countless troubles in the future, a civilian with no background wanted to control the Western Frontier?

"What do you want my family to do?"

The female priestess didn't dare to underestimate Downton, he was really planning to get the West, not on a whim.

"Give me full support, and use your family's influence to pressure the king to recognize my status as a duke after I win the battle against the Duke of the West. ”

Downton stared into Andrea's eyes, his tone sonorous and powerful.

"We can also choose new spokespeople, these two plants, with the strength of the family can be easily obtained. Andrea shot back, she wanted to see Downton's strain, but unfortunately the expected disappointment did not look on her face, and the other party smiled shamefully.

"Placido will definitely die, if nothing else, I will be defeated at the hands of the king, do you think it is easier to do business with the king of a country, or with a commoner with no background?" Downton scoffed, "Besides, you and Elaine still have a mentor-apprentice friendship." ”

"Very well, you convinced me, but are you sure that you will win? Falfo pulled out all his strength, and by the way, because of the relationship of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, another priest, Doppler, may also come. ”

The female priestess wanted Downton to know about the difficulties he faced, but this kid had no fear at all.

"If you're here, you don't have to go back!"

Downton looked at the distant mountains and drank the coffee from the cup in one gulp.

Andrea walked away with a look of shock, if before she only helped Downton because of the friendship between teachers and students, then now she put him on an equal footing.

This seventeen-year-old young man exuded a strong self-confidence at the moment of his generous speech, and the man was attractive and energetic because of it!

"Nasty, what am I thinking!" Andrea sat in the carriage and patted her head hard, she decided to help Downton with all her might, and if anyone in the family dared to stand in the way, she would eradicate them.

War was inevitable, and Placido's army, with the Scharke Legion as the main force, several border guards, nobles and their private armies, all flocked to Morning Mist.

With more than 100,000 troops, no one thought Downton had a chance of survival. (To be continued......)
