5 Bread, potatoes, and coals

Located at the northernmost tip of the Wandering Star Empire, Francis' Territory encompasses an entire mountain range and the second largest lake in the Empire.

Perhaps due to their location on the border, Francis' subjects were brave and skilled in battle, whether gifted or not, and their hoes and scythes were able to work in the fields and swing at the heads of their enemies.

That's part Eli knows.

But no one before this mission told him that Francis was barren land.

Eli suddenly remembered the words of the maid in his ear when he was drowsy: "This year, the white harvest of the territory has been reduced again. ”

The white grass of this world is similar to the wheat he knows, and most of it is ground into flour for baking.

Eli remembers that the staple food on the castle's table was white bread, and the servants were slightly simpler, while the family ate it in a variety of elaborate shapes.

There is no doubt that white grass is one of the main crops of the territory, and now its production has been reduced to the point where the chef has to leave a part of it to supply the lord's son.

Copy-and-paste cards lined up in front of Eli's eyes, and Eli sighed in confusion.

I said how come ten nine potatoes in a row, I was waiting here.

[Ding Dong, for the record, the system cannot control the gacha process.] ]

Does that mean that he smoked such an outrageous result purely on his own?

[Yes, although the probability of occurrence is very small, there have been similar cases in the history of the system.] ]

Similar cases?

The system was silent, it really didn't want to suddenly think of the strange host that couldn't draw any serious cards, and ten or ten side cards.

Eli didn't care if he didn't get an answer, he didn't know if he was right or wrong now. You say Ou, and he draws nine more duplicate ordinary cards; You say no, these nine ordinary cards are just right to use.

Maybe this is the Asian blood full of metaphysics.

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door being pushed open, and Eli followed the sound as the tall, handsome man waved to stop the servant in the room. He walked to the side of the bed in three or two steps, wanting to hug Eli, but paused in mid-air as if he remembered something.

With the Francis family's signature silver hair and golden eyes as bright as the sun on the snowy field, it will be difficult for those who are accustomed to his usual restrained edge and calm appearance to imagine how terrifying his momentum is when facing enemies.

Dylan Francis, the seventeenth lord of Francis's domain, is the famous Black Knight on the continent, and the strongest shield on the border of the Wandering Star Empire.

He has so much fame, but in front of Eli he is just a helpless young father.

Eli stretched out his arms, and the lord gave him a gentle hug as if he were some precious porcelain.

"Firia will be pleased." The lord said.

"Of course," Eli nodded affirmatively, "I would be happy if I were a mother." ”

Dylan has never been a doting father, but there are some anomalies today.

When Dylan tried to feed himself water, Eli finally couldn't help but ask, "Father, you seem to be a little strange. ”

Dylan put down the glass, he carefully studied Eli's pale face and somewhat emaciated cheeks, and finally rubbed Eli's hair with a smile: "It's not strange at all. ”

They followed a loud bang to find Eli, who was lying under the wings of a white dragon, breathing so faintly that he couldn't see his chest heaving.

Dylan almost trembled and picked up his child, perhaps psychologically, he couldn't even feel the weight on his hands.

Eli's healing process is also bumpy, he is one of the rare humans who has magic in his body before he resonates with the magical element, and Francis's doctor is helpless. In the end, it was the lord's wife, Phiria, who invited an archmage and half of the doctors of the treatment house from the royal capital through her mother's family, and Eli was saved from the fate of not being able to sleep.

During that time, Eli seemed to be dying at any time, and Dylan and Firia were in a cold sweat in their midnight dreams, and they had to run to Eli's room together to make sure that Eli was still alive before they could barely sleep.

That is, the lord couple was frightened out of the psychological shadow by their young son.

The initiator was unaware, and his mind was now full of potatoes and potatoes.

The world's calendar is much the same as Eli's familiar one. From memory, the potatoes should have been planted in February or March, but Francis's temperatures have always been cooler, and this time should be pushed back another month or two.

Eli was in late March, and it's now close to May.

Very perfect time for sowing.

For the first time, Eli experienced what it feels like for the novel's protagonist to be favored by fate.

Don't mention it now, but when!

After promising himself a reasonable request to Eli, Dylan received a surprise answer.

"You said you wanted to see the farmland?"

Eli nodded.

Dylan's eyes narrowed, and he asked in surprise, "Why does our little Eli suddenly want to see the farmland?" ”

"But I just want to see it."

Very vexatious.

The unrest in the territory has not been completely eliminated, and the doctor has made it clear that Eli needs to recuperate for a while. Dylan's refusal rolled twice in his throat, and he was finally defeated in front of Eli Pika's eyes.

He reluctantly agreed: "Okay, just wait for you to get better." ”

In order to go to the field as soon as possible, Eli has been following the doctor's instructions these days, and even eats half a bowl more than usual.

He finally realized how dangerous his encounter was.

For the first time, the ever-gentle and elegant Phiria abandoned the upbringing of an aristocratic lady and cried bitterly in front of the public, and one morning Eli closed his eyes and communicated with the system, Orin actually probed his snort.

Eli confronted Orin with his eyes, and Orin replied very frankly, "I'm afraid you're dead." ”

Eli didn't know what to say for a moment, and replied dryly, "Thank you then." ”

The most surprising thing for Eli was that he had been in a coma for a whole month, and the rookie card pool was still there.

[The seven-day starter pool refers to the seven natural days that the host is conscious.] ]

Eli had never felt the system so user-friendly.

Probably to take care of the novice card pool, Eli checks in every day to reward the number of novice card pool draws, plus the previous twenty-two general and two novices, he now has a total of twenty-nine draws.

It's only one time away from being able to make it up, Eli was lying on the bed in his pajamas and thought, just as his father agreed to take him to the plough tomorrow under the pressure of his mother, so sign in on the plough.

The Starter Pool will be gone by tomorrow evening, and while it's nowhere near the guaranteed Rare cards, hopefully the two guaranteed Rare cards will bring some surprises.

Eli closed his eyes expectantly.

Dylan was a talker-talking father, and when it was dark, Eli scooped up from the soft bed. Phiria leaned against the window in her nightdress, smiling as her husband clumsily tied the straps on his shirt to his staring son.

"Remember to ask Orin if he wants to go." Firia reminded.

"Of course I do." Dylan was defeated at the cuff of his shirt, "Firia, you have to help me." ”

Eli was already sitting on the back of Dylan's mount, the dragon bird, when Orin, who was next to him, took a lye knot from the small wooden basket with a stinky face and handed it over.

Because of the toughness of the taste, the more fragrant and filling the chew, and the need to add precious sugar, the lye knot quickly became popular and entered the tables of the people.

If Eli hadn't insisted on justifying it, it would have been called Eli or Francis by now.

"Do you want to spread some jam?" Ollie pulled out a metal can.

The jam was also made by Eli, and due to the large amount of sugar required to boil it, the jam was still a luxury only for the aristocracy.

"A little."

Eli and Orin rarely lived in harmony like this, and Dylan, who had driven the dragon bird, looked at them quietly, and the corners of his lips curled upward.

He immediately decided to be a quiet transporter with the dragon bird, leaving the stage to the two brothers who broke the ice.

After a simple breakfast, Eli grabbed the fluffy feathers of the dragon bird and looked down, it was the first time he had left the castle, and everything was new.

The dragon bird flew so high that Eli could easily take in the rugged valleys and bare grey rocks, and he even saw a deer-shaped beast with spiral horns on the cliff.

Eli had seen a portrait of him in the atlas, and it was simply and crudely named the Sheephorn Deer. Unlike the unremarkable and even somewhat perfunctory name, the Sheephorn Deer is naturally possessed by the wind elemental affinity and is very aggressive.

The sheep-horned deer also saw the red-feathered giant beast blowing in the sky, and the familiar feeling of oppression made it a little uncomfortable, and a blue-green ball of light converged between the two spiral sheep's horns. With the movement of its neck raised, the ball of light flew towards the dragon bird.

Then it dissipated into the air because of the long distance.

This fact infuriated the sheephorn deer, and it stamped its hooves and actually trampled on the boulder under its feet.

The carbon-black rock formations were suddenly exposed to the air.

Eli's eyes widened, he tugged at Orin's sleeve and stammered, "Did you see that?" Black stone. ”

Orin saw it, of course, he didn't quite understand why Eli was surprised by this, was it because he was so surprised to see anything after being locked in the castle for a long time?

"So what?" Orin pouted, "The stones in the world come in all colors. ”

It's much more beautiful than black stone, and there are a lot of them in the castle's warehouse, and Eli can pick up a lot of them at any time if he likes.

Eli is physically and mentally messy in the wind.

It's not just an ordinary stone, it's like coal! Serious coal!

[Ding-dong, new quest released]

[Task 2: Mining Coal Mine.]

Mission Description: You use your knowledge to find the ore veins in the valley at a glance, mine and use it, it will surprise you, and you will bring a revolution to the world like never before. ]

The system is making it clear to Eli that in a wood-fueled world, Francis owns a coal mine with at least significant reserves.

What kind of land are you planting? Let's go straight to the steam engine and step into the Industrial Revolution.
