"This plant, which we call purple cane, is a sweet and delicious juice grown by the centaurs, but unfortunately there are too many residues for us humans to eat at all, unless we can have a strong tooth and three stomachs like centaurs. Edwin spat the remaining residue from chewing in his mouth to the ground.

Victor looked at the purple cane that was cut down in his hand, tasted the sweet taste in his mouth, and felt a burst of excitement in his heart, this crop is clearly the sugar cane of this world!

Of course, it is still a little different from the sugar cane on the earth, the surface of the purple cane does not have a knot, and compared to the sweet and greasy sugar cane, the purple cane taste is slightly light, and there is a unique fragrance, but its slag is much more than the sugar cane, and it will even sting the tongue when chewing in the mouth.

"Why haven't I seen this crop anywhere else in the Centaur Hills? Victor threw away the purple cane in his hand, the residue of this crop was so large and rough that he didn't want to try it anymore.

"Of course it was chopped off. The fertile land of the woods was full of such things, and the farmer could not grow the crops without shoveling them clean. In fact, after several years of development, the original appearance of the Centaur Hill has long been destroyed, and only in your territory can you still see the original appearance of the Centaur Hill. Edwin said with a grin.

In the past few years, because of other research, the old scholars did not participate in the exploration of the centaur hills, and now if they want to see the traces of civilization left by the forest centaurs, they can only go to Victor's territory.

This also shows that the territory that Sylvia replaced Victor with is clearly an undeveloped wasteland! Thinking of this, Victor was a little depressed.

However, seeing the purple cane forests here, he couldn't help but get excited.

There is no sucrose in this world, and people generally use wild honey, but unfortunately honey is scarce and precious, and even the needs of the human aristocracy cannot be satisfied. If Victor can use purple cane to develop sucrose, it will allow him to obtain a very large fortune.

"Purple cane tastes sweet, although there is too much residue. But if it's just for juicing, it should still be a good drink, right?"

"It is true that some people use purple cane to extract juice, but unfortunately the nobles generally believe that the forest centaur is a type of centaur, and it is also a lowly orc, and the food of orcs is only eaten by commoners. Therefore, under the orders of the lords of various places, the purple cane has been cut down. The old scholar shrugged disapprovingly.

This is both good news and good news, on the one hand, no one has yet recognized the value of purple cane, and on the other hand, it is probably not easy for the human aristocracy to accept the cane sugar made from purple cane.

There was a commotion from the crowd ahead, and Victor and Edwin stepped forward to see people surrounding a large net that had caught a giant strange bird.

The strange bird is huge, comparable to a full-grown horse. It had a large, sharp beak, glowing dark green feathers, and powerful, sharp claws that were desperately scratching the ground in an attempt to tear open the giant net on its body. It's a pity that this net is both tough and uncomfortable. Therefore, it can only lie on the ground now, and make a futile cry of "Ang, Ang".

Seeing their lord and Master Edwin approaching, the onlookers got out of the way.

"What is this?" asked Victor curiously, looking at the strange bird that looked like a mixture of a velociraptor and a rooster.

"My lord, we don't know, a few people wanted to catch a few ground lizards to improve their food, and found this guy in the purple cane forest, and then I led someone to catch it. A war bear mercenary next to him explained to Victor.

"This is the swift bird, a large chocobo unique to the Centaur hills. This bird is strong and good at running, and they are even faster than war horses. They feed on purple cane leaves and other plants, and sometimes ground lizards and frogs. The swift bird is powerful enough to easily kick and break a person's ribs, and its sharp beak can easily peck through leather armor. You should be glad that no one was hurt when it was captured. ”

Edwin looked at the strange birds struggling in the giant net in surprise, and continued: "The swift birds eat a huge amount of food, and when there is not enough food, they begin to eat the crops planted by the farmer, and their flesh is tender and delicious, and many lords of the Centaur Hills have ordered the hunting of these birds. Now, this giant bird is no longer to be seen in other parts of the Centaur Hills. Luckily, I thought I would never taste this in my life. Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived in your territory, I caught a live one. ”

Hearing the last words of the old scholar, Victor couldn't help but stumble.

Sure enough, there is no concept of environmental protection in the world of foodies.

Meanwhile, in the Marquis of Wimbledon's palace, Lord Abel was reporting to a graceful lady what he had seen and heard in the Black Castle through a curtain of light veil.

"My lord, I think we should immediately present our case to the Senate and ask for a stay of impeachment against Lord Victor, and at the same time send a knight to the Black Fort to stabilize the situation there. Abel said respectfully to the figure behind the veil.

"It's too late, Abel, just the day before you returned, the Senate had already obtained the document of exchange of the territory signed by Victor himself. The House of York traded a piece of land in the southern part of the hills for Victor's domain. A pleasant voice like a clear spring came from behind the light veil.

"How can this be?!" Before I left, I specially instructed Victor not to act rashly, how could he sign such a document?" This sudden situation shocked Abel.

"It's not surprising that now that she's decided to do something to us, there's nothing left behind. Even if Victor does not sign the replacement agreement, we have no chance of winning in the Senate debate. You may not know that just three days ago, Viscount Charles, the first in line to the throne of Archduke Williams, was engaged to the granddaughter of the Marquis de Greward, the deputy speaker of the Senate, and now we are completely at a disadvantage in the Senate, so whether Victor signs the agreement or not, it will not change the fact that the York family has reintegrated the territory. ”

"I didn't expect the Earl of York to be so old-fashioned. After listening to the woman's explanation, Abel was a little depressed, he claimed to be a shrewd and resourceful person, but he didn't expect that his strategy was insignificant in front of the means of the great nobles.

"Hmph! York's fat pig is not worth mentioning, I'm talking about his wife, Sylvia. A woman of incredible beauty lifted the curtain of light veils and walked out of it.

This woman looks about 27 or 8 years old, mature and intellectual, but if you look closely, you feel that this is clearly an innocent girl who is less than 20 years old. She was wearing a white tunic dress, the style of the long skirt was simple and simple, but the design was extremely fitting, outlining the woman's slender figure and graceful curves to the fullest, and there was a hint of sexiness in the grace. Her skin is snow-white, her facial features are exquisite, her manners are elegant and dignified, her long purple hair and eyes like amethysts add a sense of mystery and enchantment.

Youth and maturity, grace and sexiness, dignity and charm are all perfectly interpreted in this woman, and give her a strange charm. She was none other than Victor's titular wife, the Marquess Sophia Wimbledon.

As if taken by the bright face of the hostess, Lord Abel hurriedly bowed his head to the marquisess.

"Do you wonder why I didn't send a knight to follow Victor to the Centaur Hills in the first place?" Sophia seemed to see through the confusion and dissatisfaction in the heart of her right-hand man.

Indeed, if Sofia had sent two knights to Victor in the first place, it would have been enough to ensure Victor's safety, and there would have been no follow-up.

"I have a bit of a friendship with Sylvia, and to be honest, I don't want to offend her, even though I don't agree with her. Not sending a knight to the centaur hills is exactly that message I sent to her. I knew that with Sylvia's character, she would definitely take tough measures in the face of the advance of the princes, but I didn't expect that this slut would actually do it to us first, completely ignoring her previous feelings!" The former best friend's ruthless approach made Sophia's heart also burn with anger.

"And what about Victor?" asked Lord Abel stubbornly in the face of the angry Marquisess.

Regardless of whether or not the House of York can complete the consolidation of the territory, Victor's personal signing of the exchange agreement is a betrayal of the family and the failure of the Princes' layout in the hills, which must be sanctioned.

Even if they are in the same camp, they cannot be monolithic internally. Sophia has always been known for her beauty and wealth in the royal capital, and four chambers of commerce under her name make huge profits for her every year, and in the process, it is natural to offend some families, including the prince's party, who will surely take advantage of Victor's betrayal to denounce Sophia.

"I understand what you mean, although we may be blamed for something, but this is not necessarily a bad thing for us, Her Majesty Catherine has always been suspicious of my relationship with Sylvia, and this conflict must be able to completely reassure her about us, after all, we have lost half a million gold soles. As for Victor ... His cowardice and cowardice disappointed me. From now on, cut off all his support. Sylvia's slut will make him understand what regret is!" At the mention of Victor, Sophia's eyes showed a hint of unbearability, but in the blink of an eye, it was replaced by indifference.

Just as Abel was about to say something, a waitress came over and curtsied Sophia and said, "Lord Marquis, at your invitation, His Excellency Andre is already waiting in the reception room. ”

"Andre has arrived?!Lucy come and help me see if there's anything wrong with my hair?!" Sophia said in surprise when she heard that the guest she had invited had arrived.

Her white face was as white as jade, and her bright eyes were bent into two crescent moons, just now she was a strong woman with a splendid chest, and in a blink of an eye, she became a young girl with affection in her eyebrows, ignoring Abel who was standing aside, Sophia walked into the room with her maid.

Andre is a golden knight from the eastern kingdom of Borui, who is not only strong but also young and handsome, shining as the sun. He has only been in the royal capital of Gambis for half a year, and his elegant demeanor and noble blood have been favored by countless noble ladies and celebrities, but he can always clean himself and there are no scandals. This fascinated many women, including the Marquis Sophia.

This is the reason why Victor was kicked out of the royal capital by you, Abel thought secretly.

In fact, except for little Victor himself, the entire aristocratic circle of the royal capital is rumored that Sophia sent the obstructive Victor to the distant centaur hills in order to pursue the golden knight Andre.

Victor had no money and no one in the centaur hills, and was replaced by the York family with a wasteland for his barony, and now the family will completely cut off his support, Abel can't imagine the situation that Victor will face in the future.

Ask for your own blessings, Victor.

Abel sighed and turned to leave the Marquis' Mansion.

Standing in front of the moss-covered castle, Victor's face was pale, he already knew what regret was!

He looked at the Bruce Knight, who didn't squint.

He turned to look at Nicole again, and the female cadet knight was staring intently at the ground in front of her toes with her head down, as if there was some secret waiting for her to uncover.
