In the martial arts training ground next to the magic crystal mine.

The chestnut squirrels are fighting against the knights at this time, in order to exercise their combat ability.

"What did Your Highness do to these chestnut squirrels? The speed of this combat power increase is too outrageous, right? The knights looked bitter.

Originally, they could easily solve these chestnut squirrels, but since some time ago, the strength of these chestnut squirrels has been growing, and at this time, their strength has surpassed them!

"Your Highness, the combat power of these chestnut squirrels is already close to the peak combat power of the official knights." A helpless smile appeared on Valker's face, this highness is really too strong, and it is thanks to his promise to protect the third prince that he swore to the Grand Duke.

"Well, thanks to those magic crystals, I wouldn't have been able to complete so many chestnut squirrel enhancements." Su Luo nodded with satisfaction, "However, the chestnut squirrel is still much worse in terms of combat skills, and in addition, in terms of cooperation, you can let the knights try to fight with the chestnut squirrel, which can greatly improve the combat power of the defenders." ”

"Yes, Your Highness, I will train these chestnut squirrels well." Valk nodded, and then said with some regret: "It's a pity, these monsters are chestnut squirrels, if it's a war horse or those coyotes, I can let the knight and the monster practice riding together." ”

Riding - Su Luo was stunned, indeed riding can be said to be one of the compulsory courses of knights, but it is a pity that the strength of those ordinary war horses is too weak for formal knights, and they can only play a role when thousands of troops and horses charge, and in ordinary times, knights rely on long swords and fighting spirit, but they can exert their strongest strength.

Therefore, most of the knights at this stage are actually just swordsmen, and knights are more like an identity to some extent.

However, if the knight's mount is a monster, it will definitely be able to participate in the battle, which will greatly increase the knight's combat power.

"Is it possible to get the knight to contract a pet beast as well?" This thought suddenly came to Su Luo's mind.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the system's enlightenment function can actually be used by other people, and according to his experience in strengthening chestnut squirrels, he should be able to let others open the beast space to become a beast master.

He glanced at the knights in front of him with some interest, if he could make all these knights contract a pet beast, even if it was not as a mount, the increase in combat power as a monster would definitely be very large!

However, thinking that these knights already have fighting energy in their bodies, he was a little unsure, and he didn't know if Qiling would have an impact on the knight's original power system, which was like a knight and a mage, few people could train a knight and a mage at the same time, and the thing of demonic and martial arts double cultivation only existed in legends.

If there is a conflict with the fighting spirit in the knight's body because of the existence of the beast energy, let alone let the knight become a beast master, they may even lose their original fighting energy, and may even die in the conflict between the beast energy and the fighting spirit.

In addition, he was not sure if his thoughts were correct, and he did not know what would happen to other people after they passed the enlightenment.

Thinking of this, he frowned, feeling that he might be able to find a way to try, but the search for the test subject was a bit troublesome.

First of all, it needs to be controllable, and then it is necessary to be prepared for accidents - he can't help but think of death row prisoners, who are going to die anyway, and it is nothing to conduct experiments, but in the end, it is the education he received in his previous life that makes him a little ruthless.

Soon, the morning exercise in the field was over, and the knights began to patrol as usual, while the chestnut squirrels went to the magic crystal pit to continue training their claw strokes, and by the way, they were not disgusted by these simple chestnut squirrels, they themselves have a habit of burrowing and finding treasures, and there are plenty of rewards for finding magic crystals.

Squeak, squeak, squeak-

Komatsu also ran back at this time, happily jumping onto Su Luo's shoulder.

Suddenly, Su Luo felt that his entire body was sinking, fortunately, with the influence of the beast's energy, his physical fitness had improved a lot, otherwise it was really possible to be kicked down directly this time.

"Komatsu, let's go back to the castle first." Su Luo touched Komatsu's head, Hausman had already urged him to go back to approve the official documents several times, and he couldn't delay it for too long, "It seems that the administrative reform must be carried out as soon as possible, and the official documents of the territory have to be reviewed by me before they can be implemented, which is too tiring." ”

He sighed, thinking of the more efficient division of labor and administrative system in his previous life, of course, he hadn't completely sorted it out, and couldn't help but sigh that he had embarrassed the traversers.

However, he really didn't think about being a lord or anything, he just wanted to cultivate pet beasts with peace of mind and become a god-level beast master!

……

Upon returning to the castle, Hausmann immediately came looking for him.

The most important thing is about the territory finance, now due to the excavation and reward system of the magic crystal mine, a large number of territory finances have been filled in, if you don't want to increase the territory finance, the operation of the entire territory will come to a standstill.

"Your Highness, how have you considered the sale of the magic stone?" Hausman asked cautiously.

The magic crystals in the magic crystal mine are constantly being excavated, and most of the magic crystals have been sent to His Highness, but there are still some magic stones associated with the magic crystal mine that can be sold.

These magic stones are special ores formed by the influence of magic power, and they can be used to forge various magical equipment, and they are also very valuable commodities.

Hausman plans to contact nearby caravans and sell these magic stones to them in order to increase the territory's finances.

"Sell magic stones?" Su Luo frowned, this can indeed supplement the territory's finances, but with the exposure of the magic stone, the news of the appearance of the magic crystal mine in Thorn Town will be exposed sooner or later.

He thought for a moment and frowned, "Hausman, apart from the magic stone, is there no other way to increase the treasury in the territory?" ”

"Your Highness, Originally, Thorn Town made a living by planting thorns, but if it was just thorns, the territory would be enough to get 100 gold coins a year, and this was only enough for half a month's food consumption in the Magic Crystal Mine." Hausman explained that Thorntown was indeed too barren.

"Plant thorns?" Su Luo rubbed his brows with a headache, and there was no useful information in his mind at all.

In his previous life, he had come into contact with a lot of ways to make money, but with the values of this world, it was useless, and what was most lacking now was the goods, except for thorns and magic stones, there was no third commodity that could be sold in Thorn Town.

"Can you grow something else, like wheat or something?" He thought for a moment and said, agriculture should be relatively important in this world, and if the food problem is solved, then most of the cost of the territory can be removed.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, this is something that the other lords of Thorn Town have tried, and this place is not suitable for growing crops other than Thorns."

Su Luo opened his mouth, thought for a while, and said helplessly: "Hausman, we have killed some monsters recently, and the monster materials obtained can still be exchanged for some gold coins, you can find a way to deal with it first, as for the magic stones, wait a little longer, and wait until the mercenaries summoned by Lawrence arrive, and the strength of the territory will be improved a little more, and we will no longer be afraid of the covetousness of the surrounding lords, and then we will trade the magic stones." ”

After thinking about it, he still planned to be able to drag on for a day, of course, he also thought of his identity as the third prince, those nobles didn't dare to do anything with him openly, but if the other party secretly did something, it would be very troublesome, of course, the biggest trouble still came from the eldest prince and the second prince, and he didn't want to attract the attention of these two guys.

In addition, there is also the Duke of the North, a sky knight who has always been strong, and a magic crystal vein is enough to attract the attention of the other party, I don't know what his attitude is.
