Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor Chapter 348 - 209: News of the Red Griffin Clan

"Hmm."

Durant nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully,

"Even though she already has the title of Baron, granted by the Empire, according to so noble rules, that woman can indeed use the family’s na to stir up so troubleso matters."

"However, we can pretend to know nothing, as we are not the Empire’s heralds."

Durant smiled lightly, his gaze turning cold,

"Let the Night Language Association first find out their intentions."

"If they really harbor ill intentions, then deal with them all."

"It’s normal to have two or three groups of robbers in the Northern Wasteland, which was never peaceful to begin with."

As Durant finished speaking, there was no need for further reminders; Luo De imdiately understood.

Luo De nodded, then asked with so concern, "Will the Red Griffin Clan hold us accountable for this?"

"No worries, when the ti cos, just send them a few heads of Mixed Bloods, maintaining face within the noble circles is sufficient."

Durant patted Luo De on the shoulder,

"If they want to bully us, any reason will do, so it’s better to kill more."

"Black Pine Ridge hasn’t provoked anyone, but if anyone provokes , I will retaliate with full force."

"And not just like a child’s fight, trading punches."

"Understood, Lord Baron!"

Luo De straightened his chest, "I’ll make arrangents imdiately!"

Durant nodded.

"By the way."

Luo De was about to open the door and leave when Durant called out to him again.

"What is it, sir?" Luo De turned back.

"It’s nothing, just wanted to say, your wife Stella is more than five months along,"

Durant gave a knowing smile and said with concern, "Don’t work too late, make sure to spend more ti with her."

"Hmm."

Luo De looked moved and responded forcefully, "Thank you for your concern."

"Go on."

Durant waved his hand casually, and Luo De nodded, saluted, and then opened the door to leave.

Durant also walked out of the inner room and continued crafting the Magic Steel Arrowheads.

"Eh? Can these arrowheads be enchanted?"

Durant looked at the arrowheads still unfinished on the clamp,

"If they can be enchanted, then what should be used for the arrow shafts?"

...

...

Fla Tempering and forging not only consus Blazing Energy, but also a lot of physical strength.

Durant felt exhausted the whole day, and extrely hungry.

Even though he ate lunch on ti, his stomach was already growling before sunset.

Durant had to put down his work and return to the manor early, asking Martha to prepare dinner quickly.

Martha’s cooking skills were improving, and with the abundant supplies from Frost Leaf Town, Durant’s dinners were becoming more sumptuous.

Roast leg of lamb with rosemary, stewed wild boar with wild vegetables, pan-seared salmon, a cheese platter, and nuts and dried fruits.

It’s just that in winter, there are fewer vegetables.

Durant didn’t want to worry Avril, so he didn’t ntion matters related to the Red Griffin Clan and put it out of his mind.

After dinner, Avril continued to be busy in the side room, while Durant called Xue Rui to the manor hall.

Xue Rui bowed respectfully, and Durant invited her to sit and had Leia offer her a cup of fruit tea.

"The foundation for the city wall is dug, I see it going quite smoothly?"

Durant asked casually.

Xue Rui nodded and replied, "Yes, sir, the foundation on the west side is completed, and a third of the east side is finished."

"The speed is not bad at all," Durant praised.

"You’ve provided enough manpower; the two hundred new Wildn work very diligently."

Xue Rui said happily, "And those machines for transporting soil up and down have been a great help."

"Hmm, then the east side can start building the foundation soon; all the stones and timber are prepared, and those bricks are piled high."

Durant had opened four more brick kilns and drying houses, producing more than 20,000 bricks daily, with no storage space near the kilns.

"You’re right, I’ve already started arranging it."

Xue Rui hesitated for a mont, then explained, "However, with spring coming soon, I might need to dig drainage ditches first."

"That’s exactly why I called you; it seems you already anticipated it."

Durant looked at Xue Rui with satisfaction, "Not just the drainage ditches, but also the soil on both sides of the trench needs to be reinforced with rope netting to prevent collapse."

"And if necessary, use stakes on both sides to prevent it."

"I understand your intentions; I’ll arrange it tomorrow," Xue Rui responded repeatedly.

"Alright, if there’s rain, I’ll let you know a day in advance."

Durant gave a reminder and waved his hand,

"Okay, go rest."

Xue Rui nodded slightly, got up, and glanced again at the cup,

"Sir, can I finish the tea..."

"Of course, drink it."

Xue Rui happily picked up the cup and drank it all in one go, then bowed and retreated.

Later, Luna ca with herbs, and Durant got up to go to the studio to continue working.
