Justin saw that the ogre's house building was almost complete, so he brought back more than 100 slaves from the territory, leaving 200 catties of grain for the ogres to dinner.

Originally, Justin also wanted to make twenty large iron pots to stew grain, wild vegetables, mushrooms, etc., for the ogre to eat. Later, I found out that there was a big iron pot in my territory, which was still in the castle. The slaves used stone pots and stuff.

Justin felt a sense of urgency when he thought of the ambitious Dubie and the Ogre who were close at hand. No, the fiefdom must not go on like this anymore, it must be changed.

Upon returning to the castle, Justin rewarded each of his helpers' slaves with two taels of grain, which was considered a reward.

The slaves received food and went home rejoicing.

Walking into the restaurant, Justin saw that Jia Daring had already ordered his subordinates to cook, and it was still the same way.

The dish is a salted dried fish, the soup is a fresh wild vegetable soup, and the staple food is two white flour steamed buns. Occasionally, fresh wild vegetables will be saladed, salted fish soup will be boiled, and then two white flour steamed buns will be served. As for bread, hehe, I can't afford to hire a chef who is good at making pastries!

If these foods were placed in the past, Justin could have eaten eight or nine points full, but now, he is only four or five points full. Height gain is one reason, as is the increase in energy intake after physical fitness improvements.

Carefully chewing the fresh wild vegetables full of nature's fresh scent, fully absorbing the sweetness of the wild vegetable root to the taste buds, drinking a sip of hot soup, and swallowing a mouthful of steamed buns, this is what Justin used to do.

Especially the small salted fish, which is really not much worse than the cat eats, the difference is that the cat can eat the fish bones, while Justin can't swallow the fish bones due to the species.

Nowadays, Justin has a higher pursuit, eating a bite of fresh wild vegetables containing the fresh taste of nature, drinking a sip of hot vegetable soup, and a bite of roast mutton-flavored steamed buns.

It's not that the steamed buns really smell like mutton, but that Justin gave full play to his imagination, after all, he had just eaten roast lamb in the ogre tribe, and that taste was still fresh in his memory after the taste buds strengthened his memory.

A dinner full of imagination came to an end, and what Jia Daring saw was Justin's usual way of eating, in such a familiar way, his heart was at ease. It's just that he couldn't imagine that this meal was different from the past.

Justin knew that because his stomach, which was still hungry for food, was protesting to him, and no one should try to fool his own stomach, because the stomach was the most real. Whether it is good or bad is not something that can be changed by imagination, and ultimately needs to be tested by the stomach.

Touching his stomach, which he felt about the same as before he had eaten, Justin became more and more desperate for change.

Before this outing, Justin was content to eat one dried salted fish every day.

However, now he is very different from the past, he is no longer the ignorant thirteen-year-old child, not a rookie magician, not a fantasist who dares to sneak out of the territory if he wants to apprentice.

After an adventure between life and death, and through a treacherous crisis, Justin's mental maturity rate has fully matched his height.

At this time, Jia Daring, who was standing on the side, said: "My lord, there is not much food in the castle, and it could barely support this autumn's harvest, but as soon as these ogres come, the amount of food consumed is estimated to increase exponentially, and I am afraid that the grain storage will be unsustainable, and it will not be able to support the autumn harvest." ”

"Tomorrow I'll take all the ogres to Ark City to buy some livestock, food, seeds, etc. Food shortages should not be publicized, and there is no need to be worried. ”

After a pause, Justin stared at Jia Daring and said, "You have performed very well in the past month or so, and you have not disappointed me. I hope you will continue to work hard and continue to help me manage the fiefdom, as long as the fief develops, I will be the first to remove your slave status in half a year. ”

After listening to Justin's words, Jia Daring looked grateful. Since he became the manager, he is no longer the slave who used to fight just to survive.

After he took over the management of the territory, he saw that he had heard a lot, and he knew that slavery was a shackle on his head. As a slave, there are no so-called rights, only obligations.

Don't look at him as the head of the castle and take care of the management of the territory, if it is in a rich and prosperous territory, he will have great power in his hands, and his life will be quite rich and rich.

However, in the Thorn Realm, his status is only that of a slave steward, and his food is only enough to feed and wear. He could not go anywhere outside the territory without the permission of his master, and his children were born slaves for generations, and he was too eager to get rid of slavery.

Of course, he also remembered Justin's kindness. He knew that if it weren't for the Thorn Realm, he wouldn't have been able to be the manager, and he wouldn't have been able to have enough to eat, and even now the whole family couldn't go hungry.

Justin returned to the bedroom, a large and deserted room. Justin had already instructed the attendants to help the ogre move all the boxes to his house.

Taking out the two chests that he valued very much, Justin slashed the lock with the sharp broadsword he brought, and the knives were a little curled.

Opening the small box, Justin saw several books inside.

Justin picked it up and looked at it, and it was actually more than a dozen cheats on the cultivation of Dou Qi. Flipping through it, Justin wasn't interested, just because he was a magician.

I shook the dozen or so books casually, and there were no other items in them. Justin picked up the yellow satin that had been placed under the book again, and shook it off. 、

Justin was very disappointed, how could this be? If I don't have the key, then what use would I want these two chests? I might as well ask for a few more chests of gold!

No, I have to double-check again, otherwise, it will be really unwilling.

Looking at the rather heavy box in his hand, Justin found that there was a problem, but Justin couldn't say what the problem was.

Justin put the book and silk neatly in it again, and after looking at it carefully, he took out the book and silk and put them on the ground next to the box, and finally found that the bottom of the box was very heavy, and these books did not take up much space at all.

Justin suspected that there was a mezzanine underneath the box, and tapped his finger on the bottom of the box, and the echo was dull.

Rummaging through the box, Justin finally noticed that the two eyes of the dragon carved under the lock ring on the outside of the box were somewhat different. One eye is more worn, and the other is more intact.

Justin placed the chest on the ground, then took out a shield from the chest next to him and held it in front of him.

Hehe, this is purely because Justin is deeply affected by reading travelogue novels, lest some hidden weapon in the box shoot out, and he will die under the relaxation of his mind.

Gently touching the dragon's eye, Justin quickly withdrew his arm and curled up behind the heavy shield.

Justin heard the click of a lock, and his whole body tensed, lest some forbidden spell be released from the box and make him disappear.

After waiting for a while, Justin noticed that there was nothing unusual in the room, so he stood up and looked at the box from above the shield, and saw that the mezzanine of the box had been opened, and there was no hidden weapon shooting, let alone a forbidden spell.

Justin put the shield back into the box and comforted himself, "Be careful!"

Walking back to the open box, Justin saw that in this new space, there was a fifty-centimeter-long key lying quietly, and there was a small box and an atlas next to it.
