Chapter 219: Chapter 218 Ice Age Is Coming

Katie was only twenty-eight years old this year, and had already excavated six groups of main ridians. After the successful reconstruction of her Battle Qi, there was great hope for her promotion to Great Knight.

“With this, Eric, Grof, and Katie, I would have three Great Knights, and counting myself, that makes four,” Russell squinted his eyes, leaning on Unicorn Polly, silently contemplating the future developnts.

If the four Great Knights could all bond with Fantasy Beasts, that would an four Phantom Beast Knights.

Waging war on the Snowfield for three to five years, they should be able to gather quite a few Ice Soul Pearls for Little Dream Dragon to devour.

Russell wondered if this might revive Little Dream Dragon’s true form, causing it to burst forth from the volcano.

Looking through the bamboo leaves at the sky, Russell mused, “The growth period of Great Dragons is extrely long, but if I start nurturing Phantom Beast Knights now and seize the Ice Soul Pearls to feed Ice Cream, perhaps I could mount a Great Dragon and carve out my own kingdom sooner.”

In the following days, Wuyao Snake Manor was bustling with activity.

To help the newly purchased serfs integrate into the territory quickly, Russell required that each hamlet hold a bonfire party, giving young serf n and won a chance to interact, and those who took a fancy to each other could marry and start families without delay.

Occasionally, Russell would personally appear at the bonfire parties to share in the joy with the people.

As a result, after just a few short days, a large number of young serfs chose to marry—since it was matrimony within the manor, no taxes were required. Only when a manor serf married soone from outside the area, especially if they married out, would taxes be levied.

While busy integrating the bustling serfs, Russell also frequently inspected the progress of various construction projects throughout his entire territory.

Under the managent of several pig-hearding technicians, the just matured offspring of the Black Gold Pigs had successfully impregnated several Golden Black Sows.

Over at the Bear Honeybee Farm, beekeeper Kenny had finally raised several new queen bees, successfully expanding the scale of the bee colony.

Now that the local nectar sources for Bear Honeybees weren’t sufficient, Russell specially instructed Knight Attendant Jas, who served as the transportation captain of the territory, to escort Kenny on trips throughout the Glowing Valley to raise Bear Honeybees.

anwhile, at the river clam pond, Rib Jimmy was reassigned by Russell to be the clam-hearding technician, continuing to expand the cultivation scale of the precious pearl clams.

At the sa ti, he also appointed a serf skilled in fishing known as Cent Loach Londo to be a fish-hearding technician, raising fishes in the lower reaches of the Glowing River. Cent Loach Londo, a villager of Grotto Village, had previously used the cold springs in Echo Water River Cavern to raise fishes and possessed a certain level of fish-farming expertise.

Moreover.

Russell also assigned Mrs. Sharby, the village head of Lentil Hamlet, with a task to explore greenhouse vegetable cultivation during the ice period.

Mrs. Sharby and her physically impaired husband Sharby were skilled vegetable growers, and since the villagers of Lentil Hamlet were heavily involved in vegetable cultivation, it was a good opportunity to mobilize them to experint with greenhouse vegetables or vegetables that could be consud during winter.

Vegetables like bean sprouts and chive shoots, for instance, could be developed.

At the sa ti, Russell also instructed Charles to encourage serfs to breed more poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese.

As for livestock like pigs, cattle, and sheep, they too needed to be gradually developed.

“Without eating more at and eggs, how can the children of the territory foster the seeds of Battle Qi? If the youngsters aren’t up to standard, how can they train to beco Knights in the future?” This was Russell’s line of thinking, as he needed a group of strong subordinates to accompany him in his venture of making a mark on the world.

Even if a kingdom were to be established in the future, people were needed to govern the territory, and to start preparing now was the best choice.

Ti flew by, and November turned over its page to December.

The scorching sumr season had passed, and the temperature began to decrease gradually.

At the Grand Scholar Roundtable of Red Castle, a group of Grand Scholars calculated this year’s warm terranean climate and announced the results—the warm season might end by late December, and at the latest would not exceed mid-January of the following year, by which ti the Snow Demon would sweep through again.

The cold was about to return.

Of course, the advent of the ice period did not an that snow would imdiately begin to flutter down; the ice period often lasted about four months, with only the coldest two months experiencing snow and ice in the warm lands.

On this day.

Russell stood on the lawn in front of the Cigar Courtyard, his fine steel longsword swinging continuously. After practicing a set of “Radiant Swordsmanship Technique”, he started to cultivate the Shadowfla Asura Swordsmanship. Sword Qi burst forth around him like fluttering ribbons.

With a thrust of his sword, leveraging its movent, his Battle Qi suddenly blasted open a tiny subsidiary ridian.

“Huff!”

Sheathing his sword, Russell exhaled a breath of turbid air, “Another small ridian has been opened, and the Grand Circulation is not far away! At most another half a month, by the end of this year, I will definitely connect all the ridians into one and advance to Great Knight!”

From the beginning of September to the start of December, a full three months had passed, and he had hardly missed a morning or evening session of Battle Qi cultivation.

Effort never betrays the diligent, and he was gradually reaching the realm of a Great Knight.

Wiping away his sweat, Russell didn’t stop to rest but instead shouted to soone not far away, “Grove, co fight!”

Big Dumb Bear Grof had already beco the captain of the manor’s guard knights, so he practiced with Russell every day.

Upon hearing this, he imdiately left the four knight attendants and strode up to Russell, “Yes.”

A mont later, the two of them were locked in combat in the center of the lawn, but it was clear that Russell had the upper hand.

The reason was simple: although Grof was indeed a Great Knight, his swordsmanship was much weaker and not as refined as Russell’s. Nonetheless, as a Great Knight with his ridians unified and Battle Qi solidified, it wasn’t easy for Russell to defeat him.

The two exchanged blows, Russell dominating the scene, but Grof stood unyielding with the might of his Qi Round Vigor.

Finally, Russell, out of breath, leapt out of the battle circle, “That’s enough for today. Your Tortoise Strategy is getting more proficient. Until I beco a Great Knight, it’s going to be tough to defeat you.”

“Sir, your swordsmanship is unpredictable. If we fought to the death, I wouldn’t last long,” Grof admitted honestly.

This was not only the truth but a grand one at that.

With his transcendent swordsmanship alone, Russell could put pressure on Grof, not to ntion his two major skills: the Six ridian Divine Sword and Thorn Whip. No re Great Knight could stand against him, and even a Phantom Beast Knight would be a fair match.

Russell smiled and said, “You need to get your spirits up, too. Every ti we spar, I can’t feel your desire to fight.”

“Heh heh,” Grof scratched the back of his head.

“I’ve had you join more bonfire parties. What’s the matter, still haven’t found a girl to your liking?”

Grof looked slightly embarrassed, “No.”

“It seems the girls in our territory aren’t up to par, not catching your eye. I’ll have Charles arrange for you to get out more, maybe then you’ll et soone,” Russell hoped that Grof would ignite his passion soon.

Not to always be complacent.

A complacent follower can hardly play a significant role, neither keen on cultivating nor fighting, how could he help build achievents in the future.

Grof gave a goofy smile.

Russell then gestured toward a female knight nearby and said, “Katie has been eager to try for a long ti. Grof, go and have a proper duel with her.”

“Yes.”

Since Katie had successfully restarted her Battle Qi cultivation, Russell had her co over every morning to practice together, hoping to nurture her talent.

Female Great Knights are indeed rare, and female Phantom Beast Knights even rarer.

But if he had a female Phantom Beast Knight follower in his ranks, that would be really cool, and it might even inspire more girls to cultivate Battle Qi and achieve sothing in the future.
