In the vast marshland, countless species reside, containing endless secrets and resources.
Even legends like the Phoenix have not yet uncovered all the secrets of the marshland, much less have a full count of the magical beast species present.
What Lin Ke needs to do is first strive to protect the ecosystem here and then gradually uncover potentially useful species within it.
"Your Highness Linke, do we need to protect all the magical beasts along the way?" The Phoenix tribe did not understand Lin Ke’s request.
A human asking them to protect all the magical beasts and plants during the road construction process?
The Phoenix tribe exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.
What’s the point of such an operation?
Betrayal?
No, that’s not right.
"Yes, all of them must be protected," Lin Ke nodded. "You must understand, now the entire marshland is my property. Losing any species of magical beast is a loss to ."
So that’s what it is...
The Phoenix tribe finally understood Lin Ke’s intention.
"As you command, Your Highness Linke," the Phoenix nodded in agreent. "We will protect the magical beasts and plants along the way and have them migrate out."
Lin Ke nodded slightly.
"Mr. Linke, your kindness truly is genuine," Vilune, who was ticulously constructing the city’s foundation and sewer system nearby, praised.
The most ntally consuming work for him now was building the foundation, which was completed. The remaining sewer and underground construction work was much lighter, leaving him so thoughts for chatting.
"Kindness? Perhaps," Lin Ke didn’t consider himself kind, but compared to the locals of Naseng, he was quite kind indeed.
"Indeed, kind, smart, and with noble knightly virtues, daring to charge against legends, the young n of Gula Kingdom are taking you as their role model!"
Vilune laughed, "We owe much to Lord Lamiel."
Indeed.
After Lin Ke fell asleep, Lamiel conveyed Azanen’s story through poems and stories to so of his friends.
Those Minstrels spread the information to their friends, traveling and singing all over Gula Kingdom until everyone knew of Young Master Lin Ke.
"To follow Young Master Lin Ke is my honor," Lamiel laughed, looking at Vilune who was praising him, finding Vilune pleasing in every way.
"Hmm, good job," Lin Ke praised Lamiel and looked at John. "So, has our population in Azanen increased? How about the business situation?"
"Yes, Master, Azanen’s population has increased significantly, Parrot City has expanded three tis!" John said with pride, always proud of matters related to the Master, though he scratched his head. "But as for business, I’m not too sure."
"More people is good," Lin Ke nodded. "Lady Heshan should be arriving soon, right?"
Lady Heshan had been running around the past two years and went out a few days ago to get ledgers for Lin Ke to review and understand the general situation.
"Yes, she should be here tonight," John replied.
"Alright, let’s head back later, I need to buy many things and ask so questions," Lin Ke looked at Vilune. "Mr. Vilune, how much longer will it take?"
Vilune estimated, "About an hour or so."
"Then we’ll go for a walk around, you continue on," Lin Ke didn’t want to just wait idly here. "Phoenix, fly in the sky to protect . Bloodthirsty Barbarian Bull, you stay here and wait, let’s go."
This ti, he planned to walk on foot.
Though viewing from the sky was always less grounded than exploring step by step on land.
However, he didn’t bring Ove this ti, so he needed the Phoenix’s protection.
"Yes, Your Highness Linke," responded the Phoenix and others.
Without them, even Vilune couldn’t survive long in the vast marshland.
Lin Ke imdiately prepared to enter the marshland with John and others.
There was a damp feeling here; perhaps the clouds and mists swirling between the trees were toxic gases, naly miasma.
Luckily, Lamiel was around.
"Purification Hymn," Lamiel smiled, looking at the miasma, and started using his skill. "That distant Orland Lake, clear and bright, the breath of spring renewal, encircling the shore..."
As Lamiel chanted, a circle of white mist spread from his body, surrounding everyone and forming a ring.
The miasma was instantly isolated, allowing Lin Ke and others to breathe fresh air to enter the forest.
...
The grasslands were bright, and the forests dim.
The original forest was noisy, with sound interspersed by ape cries, bird calls, and wolf howls.
Yet when the Phoenix flew, the sounds within a radius of three miles fell silent, utterly quiet.
Who dares to make noise when a legendary magical beast is patrolling?
Lin Ke took a Level 1 Magic Sword from his Space Ring, chopping the obstructing foliage and searching for those plants or animals he rembered.
"Any animals or plants you see, rember to tell . You don’t need to tell about ordinary ones, just tell the special ones," Lin Ke instructed the group.
John and others didn’t understand the reason but obeyed nonetheless.
Then began a chattering journey...
"Master, look quickly! This is a rare poisonous snake. I’ve treated its poisons in Azanen’s northern areas; it’s called the ’Yellow-haired Ear-drooping Snake,’ see its head has two strands of hair drooping like ears."
"Master, this bloodsucking leech has a great taste. I drank it at a tavern during my travels around the Eternal Freeze Court; it can be used to make the famous juice ’Bloody Mary.’"
"Hey handso, look at this flower, so fragrant!"
"Master, look, such a fat animal! So fat, so fat!"
John, Lamiel, Lolita, Knicks took turns pointing out the flora and fauna to Lin Ke.
Lin Ke imdiately took out a blank notebook and the Magic Pen Ove gave him, also using the mory Stone to record.
Yellow-haired Ear-drooping Snake, poisonous, might have dicinal value, residents need to be careful, may capture for experints.
Bloodsucking leech, raw material for certain beverages, reportedly juice fernted with these leech fragnts has a unique taste but might have diseases and parasites, postpone.
A blue luminous flower, preliminary judgnt shows no radioactivity, has a special fragrance similar to lavender, can be used as raw material for perfu, can be planted extensively.
Certain magical beast, with sturdy limbs, bulky body, gentle nature, larger than pigs, fewer body hairs, can try rearing for at consumption, nad Fat Beast.
Lin Ke noted them all down; these were precious biological resources.
After Fat Beast is dosticated, the eating thod can be researched. If truly delicious and nutritious, breeding technology can be researched for large-scale farming.
"Hey handso, look!" Lolita suddenly pointed ahead, in the dense grass, a pale yellow tulip was about to bloom.
A strong magic power fluctuation emanated from it, no less than a level 10 magic power fluctuation.
Magic Plant——Bright Tulip!
Now that they were here and saw it, Lin Ke imdiately rembered a saying from his past life——
Mine, all mine.
