Chapter 0068 Aqueduct Plan
A sword competition ended in the amazement of everyone.
Since the bard and the Awakened Knight, Aldington has added the reputation of a genius martial artist to his head - martial artist is a cultivation system in ancient times, which has declined before the birth of knightly civilization, and has now become an adjective, whoever can create new exercises, or improve them, is a martial artist.
That night, father and son sat in the study again and began to count.
"Father, with my current strength, there is no pressure to challenge the knight beyond the rank, so shouldn't you think about catching the Golden Clustered Eared Lynx?"
"You're so obsessed with the Golden Clustered Ear Lynx?"
"I'm very interested in phantom beasts, and besides, the family can also open up more land, right?" Aldington has systematically studied the area around Red Leaf Town, "As long as we clear the lynx forest, we can build a canal between the Horseshoe River and another parrot river in the forest." β
The name of Momiji Town is the town, which is actually equivalent to a county-level administrative unit, and the official unit of measurement of the Plantagenet Kingdom covers an area of more than 1,100 square kilometers.
However, it was a country where most of the inhabitants were serfs living on the estates, and a small number of freedmen living in the bazaar.
Butterfly Fort is the center of Momiji Town, with the North Market to the north, the South Market to the south, and the New Market to the east, and basically all estates can be governed. Most of this area of more than 1,100 square kilometers is cultivated as farmland and pasture, and the perimeter is surrounded by forests.
At the border location, there are many fortresses where knights who are vassals of the Iris family are stationed.
To the east of Momiji Town, and further east of the new market, is the main river in the territory, the Horseshoe River, which meanders and flows all the way to the Horseshoe Pearl City. To the west of Momiji Town, there is the Lynx Forest, and further west of the Lynx Forest, there is a big river, because there are many parrots flying on both sides of the river, it is called the Parrot River.
Both the Horseshoe and the Parrot River are tributaries of the Danube, and it is theoretically possible to dig a large number of canals between the two rivers to irrigate more farmland and cultivate a large number of cash crops instead of pasture.
And.
These reclaimed lands are nominally part of the kingdom's commons, but they can be purchased from the king and turned into the territory of Momiji Town for a sum of leva - the Plantagenet Kingdom has always encouraged nobles to reclaim land, but the monsters will return at any time, and it is difficult to ensure the safety of the land.
The Golden Clustered Eared Lynx is a phantom beast that blocks the land reclaimed by Momiji Town, forcing Momiji Town to become a long strip that is long from north to south and short from east to west.
Once this phantom beast is hunted, Momiji Town will be able to open up more land to the west, turning the territory into a circle, with Butterfly Fort as the center, with a radius of about 30 kilometers. The distance of 30 kilometers is only about 20 minutes of galloping horses, so that any estate can be supported at any time.
"Father, the land of the lynx forest is fertile black soil, once the Parrot River is connected with the Horseshoe River, we can reclaim at least eight hundred square kilometers of farmland, and the annual profit will be greatly increased, and if we replenish the number of serfs, we will be able to support more knights."
Aldington kept tempting: "In this way, in a few years, our knights can be doubled and formed into two knight orders, one stationed in the territory, and one on the battlefield for meritorious service, how good!" β
"Okay, I see, when your grandfather arrives, we'll talk about hunting the golden-eared lynx." Baron Aureno interrupted Aldington's demagogy, "I know you really want a phantom beast, but the golden clustered eared lynx is not a good choice, the run-in of wild phantom beasts is huge, so it is better for you to cultivate Hawking." β
"I'm just worried, when I advance to the Phantom Beast Knight, Hawking is still just a Monster."
"When that day comes, you can buy the domesticated phantom beasts, as well as the Valkyrie, you can inherit Lady Geroroel, or you can go to the market and trade a lady over."
The development of knight civilization has been ten thousand years, and the development of phantom beasts and Valkyries has matured and streamlined.
Many veteran aristocrats will cultivate phantom beasts and Valkyries, and then sell them at a high price to complete the promotion for those phantom beast knights with shallow background.
Speaking of which, phantom beasts are very smart, and Valkyries are even more intelligent in personality, but humans can be sold as slaves, not to mention these intelligent creatures.
"I understand."
"I was amazed by your performance today, before you knew it, you had already cultivated the 'Thunder Sword' to the melting stage, and the next step could be to focus on how to improve the 'Thunder Nine Swords'. In addition, if you have the leisure to do so, you can try to practice the "Lianzhu Arrow" first, our family has always been weak in archery. β
"I don't think I have any talent for archery."
"Let's practice first, if you really can't do it, you will specialize in swordsmanship and marksmanship. The Panshi family's "Mountain Gun" is broad and profound, and even the "Dragon-shaped Array Gun" inherited by the royal family is not necessarily more advanced than "Mountain Gun". The charge is indeed inferior, but mountain warfare and jungle warfare are even better. β
Aldington nodded: "I try to absorb the essence of "Mountain Gun", and then fuse it with the family's "Thunder Gun" to see if I can improve the marksmanship that is more suitable for the family inheritance." β
"Forehead...... "Baron wanted to scold Alding for being so ambitious, is it so simple to improve the exercises.
But.
Thinking that the sixteen-year-old Aldington had begun to improve the "Nine Swords of Thunder", he swallowed the following words and waved his hand decisively: "It's late, go back to sleep." β
β¦β¦
The excitement continued, and the next day it was the turn of the celebrities of Little Versailles to come en masse to ChΓ’teau de la Butterfly.
Compared with the celebrities in Horseshoe Pearl City, who brought some ordinary gifts, there were many nobles in Little Versailles, and the celebrities were also very rich, so the gifts they gave were very luxurious.
A gift from the palace minister, Aldeington's favorite, was a cloak with tufts of special feathers on a crimson background. There is no doubt that this cloak, called the Cloak of Hundred Feathers, is a magical equipment that can release wind magic when activated.
It doesn't allow people to fly, but when jumping from a height, it can glide with the help of wind magic and land safely.
You can also use wind magic to jump more than ten meters away.
Can be classified as secondary magic equipment.
Aldington liked it not because of its function, but because its style was very stylish, draped on his body, and his whole temperament immediately increased by ten percent.
"It really sets off your temperament, young master." The maid Anna carefully arranged the ties of the hundred-feather cloak for him, and then smoothed out the folds, and praised it sincerely.
Looking in the mirror, Aldington said calmly, "It's okay." β
"Young Master, do you still want to put on the Yan Ling crown and give it a try?" Anna asked again.
The Yan Ling Crown is also a piece of magical equipment, a gift from the Archbishop of the Little Versailles Temple, a knight's top hat with the tail feathers of a high-grade magical beast whitethroat swift, which looks gorgeous.
"No need."
Aldington shook his head.
Yan Lingguan is indeed very popular, but compared to the hundred-feather cloak, it is a little flashy, except that it can be worn in a festive atmosphere, and it is a bit abrupt when it is usually worn on the head. However, whether it is a swallow feather crown or a hundred feather cloak, he will be included in Valkyrie's fingers.
Wait until you enter the sea copy of the book, and then get dressed up and fight the monster with full armor.
