Chapter 256: Small Talk

"Rason, Miss Elisa, it's been a long time since you've been here. What do you want to eat today www.biquge.info?" In the VIP box of the 'Spirits Stew' tavern, Aunt Kate greeted Luo Sheng and the others warmly.

Soon after arriving in the Sprout Territory, the 'Spirit Stew', which was under the care of Rasen, was rebuilt, and the scale was even twice as large as when it was in Cook Territory, and it became the largest tavern in the territory. Because of Luo Sheng's care and Aunt Kate's craftsmanship, the tavern's business is extremely hot. Even though Aunt Kate recruited twice as many guys and cooks, she was still a little busy.

"I'm still the same, meatballs, roast and waffles. Alyssa, what do you want to do? I see that you, like Fili, like Aunt Kate's raspberry cake, would you like some of them?" said Luo Sheng with a smile.

Although there were several chefs with good skills among the people that Milou prepared for Luo Sheng, and there were also chefs who specialized in serving the nobles among the people sent by Buniel, Luo Sheng's favorite food was Aunt Kate's craftsmanship. In the past, when he was free, Luo Sheng would often come to the tavern to eat, but he was busy with cultivation during this time, so he didn't come.

"Then a raspberry cake and meatballs, and a vegetable salad and mushroom soup. Alyssa was not polite either, and said to Aunt Kate with a smile.

Because of Luo Sheng's relationship, Alyssa also often comes to stew with spirits, so she is also very familiar with Aunt Kate. I am no stranger to the various foods in the tavern, and I directly ordered what I liked.

"Okay, you guys wait a minute, I'll go and get ready right away. Aunt Kate said with a smile. Although in terms of identity, Luo Sheng is the lord of the entire sprout territory, but Aunt Kate has watched Luo grow up since she was a child, and Luo Sheng has never put up a fight in front of Aunt Kate, so the way the two sides get along is not much different from when they were in Cook Territory.

"Sometimes I really envy your relationship with Aunt Kate!" After Aunt Kate left, Alyssa said with a slight emotion.

Alyssa's mother died shortly after giving birth to Henry, and Baron Cook never remarried. So at a very young age, Alyssa lost her mother. Although there is no shortage of female servants to take care of them, there is no such close relationship between Rason and Aunt Kate.

"Hehe, you have a good relationship with Duke Marcia! Duke Marcia scared me a lot for you. Luo Sheng said with a smile.

"Is there anything like this?" asked Alyssa, surprised. When they met at Xuelong Pass, although Marcia asked about Luo Sheng's situation, she didn't mention to Alyssa about scaring Luo Sheng.

"Of course. She also asked me to promise her that I wouldn't marry you until I was promoted to the Golden Rank. Luo Sheng responded with a smile.

Although Macia's attitude towards Luo Sheng was not very 'friendly' at the beginning, it was for the sake of Alyssa and Luo Sheng, and it also indirectly woke up Luo Sheng, so after a few contacts, Luo Sheng and Marcia got along very well.

"Haha, that's really a teacher's style!" Alyssa was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.

"By the way, speaking of Duke Marcia, is there any news from the Elson Kingdom lately?"

Luo Sheng's current identity, in addition to the members of the Eight Rings of the Nine Rings White Tower, is also the viscount of the Elson Kingdom. And according to the general rules of the Ymir Continent, Luo Sheng found mineral deposits in the territory, and he had to take out one-tenth of the proceeds and hand them over to the royal family of Elson. Now that the True Silver Vein has begun to develop, the Elson royal family should have already received the news and should have reacted to it.

"Yes. They were originally going to send a force to the New Sprouts to meddle in the mining of the True Silver Vein, but they were pressed back by Master Bunir. In the future, the share of the Elson royal family will be directly converted into gold scales, and the Alpha Radiance Chamber of Commerce will pay for it. Alyssa explained.

After experiencing many things in Snow Dragon Pass, Alyssa no longer has the same loyalty to the Elson royal family. After following Luo Sheng to Beilu, he basically stood on Luo Sheng's side and resisted the Elson royal family from the bottom of his heart.

"It looks like the impact of the last incident in the Church of the God of War hasn't passed! Luo Sheng pondered for a moment, nodded and said.

Originally, although Luo Sheng mainly relied on the power of the Nine Rings White Tower, he didn't want to get too stiff with the Elson royal family. But after the last incident of the God of War Church, it is unlikely that Rasheng will reconnect with the Elson royal family, so he doesn't care much about the reaction of the Elson royal family.

"I'm afraid you can't avoid trouble. Alyssa shook her head and said helplessly: "Teacher Marcia sent a message through the Mage Tower before, the Elson royal family is preparing to canonize a new group of nobles and develop the North Continent. The territories on both sides of us should soon be canonized to others. ”

Theoretically, the area around the Sprout Territory is also the territory of the Elson Kingdom. Before, there was just no aristocracy willing to develop, so for the time being, it was all autonomous. If the royal family of Elson is willing to be canonized, and there are nobles who are willing to take over, it can also be canonized as a nobleman's territory.

Originally, the Hokuriku was desolate, and the development cost was huge, and it was impossible to make ends meet, and few nobles were tempted. Now that Luo Sheng has found the real silver vein and become rich overnight, it is undoubtedly that many nobles have moved their minds about the territory of the Northern Continent, and with the intention of the Elson royal family, it is not surprising that this situation has occurred.

"Hehe, our king really doesn't stop!" Luo Sheng sneered and said lightly: "It's okay." Let them be canonized, and send us money anyway. ”

For the relatively large output of various places in the Hokuriku, Luo Sheng had read the information in his previous life, so he knew very well. Except for the real silver veins of the sprout collar, there are no other overly rich mineral deposits within a few hundred miles of the surrounding area. Especially in the vicinity of the sprout territory, the truly valuable places have long been included in the territory of Luo Sheng, and although other places can also raise people, their development potential is extremely limited.

Moreover, although the Blue Frost Fishmen entrenched in the coastal waters of the North Continent have been severely damaged and the threat has been greatly reduced, the Fishmen entrenched in the northern coastal waters of the Elsen Kingdom have not completely declined. Even though several masters were killed by Baron Cook in the Battle of Snow Dragon Pass, the gold-level fish-man sacrifice at the core of the clan was still alive, and the clan did not fall apart.

Therefore, if the nobles of the other Elson Kingdom want to develop the North Continent, they still have to face the problems of some fishmen. Either they spend a lot of money to build a fleet, risk breaking through the fish-man blockade, and send supplies and people to the North Continent. Either with the help of the White Tower of the Nine Rings, or the shipping power of Luo Sheng to carry out the transportation of materials.

The former is too expensive and extremely risky. And the latter gave Jiuhuan Baita and Luo Sheng the opportunity to make money. In the process of the development of the two territories, Rasheng can not only earn a lot of freight, but also promote the prosperity of the port of sprouts, which is not a loss.

"Making money is making money, but it's a pity that we have pioneered it. Alyssa sighed.

In the canonization that Luo Sheng obtained, Luo Sheng was allowed to open up his own territory in Hokuriku. In other words, if Luo Sheng can gather a large number of people and establish new villages and towns on the ownerless land, the land there can be divided into Luo Sheng's territory by itself.

At the beginning, the Cook family relied on the Pioneer Order to expand step by step in the direction of the Dragon's Back Mountains, establishing new settlements one by one, and expanding the territory to be comparable to the territory of ordinary earls.

Originally, in Elisa's plan, after a year or two of the territory on the Sprout Territory was developed to a certain extent, it would organize forces to develop externally. In the surrounding areas that have not yet been cultivated, build a few more settlements to 'stake the land' and expand the area of the sprout collar. But now this plan has not yet been implemented, and it has almost been blocked.

"Rest assured, our pioneering order is still useful. Luo Sheng smiled and said: "The territories on the east and west sides have been determined, but the north side has not yet. ”

"North, is it still poisonous?" asked Alyssa, stunned and frowning.

Dozens of miles to the north, where Nha Harbor is located, there are many peaks and hills that are not too high. And after crossing this mountainous area that covers a considerable area, there is still a poisonous land that is still polluted. Although there is not as much pollution and toxins as in the interior of the Hokuriku, the land is basically unable to grow crops, and there are a lot of toxins and dust in the air, which is not suitable for development at all.

"Although it is a poisonous land, it is no longer a Jedi, and there is hope for transformation. Have you forgotten what I told you at the beginning, the reason why the territory was chosen in Hokuriku?" Luo Sheng said with a smile.

"Do you want to carry out experiments to transform the poison land in the north?" Alyssa reacted immediately, and asked with a shocked face, "Luo Sheng, do you have a way to improve the environment there?"

You must know that at present, the development of the Hokuriku is basically concentrated in the narrow strip of less than 100 miles along the coast. Only in this area of land is the water source basically clean, barely able to support agricultural production, grow all kinds of forests, and provide basic resources for human life. And if Luo Sheng can improve the environment of the poison land and turn it into an area for human habitation, the benefits that can be reaped will be unimaginable.

"I'm not a god of nature, so of course there's no way around it now. But when I come back from this trip, I'll start experimenting with this. Luo Sheng said with a smile.

If you want to improve the environment of Hokuriku immediately, unless the god of nature comes back to life and sacrifices himself again, it is simply unrealistic. However, in the previous life, thanks to the efforts of the druids and some special opportunities, humans still found a way to improve the environment of the Northlands. And one of the purposes of Luo Sheng's trip this time is to get this method in hand in advance.

"Luo Sheng, you kid has finally come out!" Just as Alyssa wanted to interrogate Luo Sheng about his trip, the door of the box opened, and Old Bard walked in with a glass of ale.
