Chapter 231 Small Gains

In the next few days, Ronin spent his time in the swamp.

Every night, he would find a high slope, use a few flame beam magic to drain the moisture on the ground, and then take out the tent from the space ring to set up for the night.

With Carlos, he didn't have to worry about the monster attack.

Searching for wild rice is not only boring and tedious, but also dangerous.

After all, you have to search in the wetland, and you will fall into the quagmire if you are not careful.

Thanks to Ronin's strong strength and Carlos's presence, otherwise it would be hard to say.

Four days passed in a flash, and Ronin gradually made discoveries from nothing at the beginning.

Now on the parchment in his hand, more than a dozen suspected wild rice sites have been marked.

These sites are basically on both sides of the river and in shallow water areas, with reeds, cattails, and these suspected wild rice seedlings.

Why use suspected?

That's because although Ronin knows the heading rice, he is not 100% sure about the rice seedlings.

He could only record the characteristics of these areas on paper, and also asked Carlos to note the location and come back in July and August.

At that time, the rice will be in ear and mature, so it will be very easy to identify.

In the air, Ronin, riding on Carlos's back, came to the border of Swamp Town, and the sea was a little further ahead.

The swamp was actually directly connected to the sea.

The wind and waves in this place seemed to be relatively strong, and the sea water constantly washed the offshore area, making the hydrological conditions near the coast particularly complicated.

Ronin originally thought that this kind of estuary was suitable for building a port, but now it seems that this place is not suitable. He needs to look north along this east coast.

"Today is the 19th, and it will be my birthday in a few days. It's time for me to leave for Wushanbao."

He looked at the sea and put away the idea of ​​going to the sea.

"Let's go, Carlos, we should go back."

The dragon roared, happily shaking its tail and turned back.

Although it was boring these days, Carlos also took the opportunity to expand its diet.

The crocodiles, pythons, and swamp deer in the swamp are delicious, especially the second-level giant python captured the day before yesterday, which has very delicious meat.

It decided to come here again when it has time.

Anyway, the master said that as long as it doesn't eat people and doesn't destroy, it can do whatever it wants with these monsters.

After speeding all the way, Ronin returned to the Swamp Castle and met Irene, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The little girl is fourteen years old this year and has grown very fast. Now she is one meter five or six tall. After wearing a decent long skirt, she looks much more beautiful than before.

Irene was naturally in a happy mood after not seeing Ronin for a long time, "Brother, how do you have time to come here?"

Ronin smiled and said, "I happened to pass by here for something. How are you doing recently?"

When it comes to this, Irene's face is sad.

Since she followed Elron to learn magic potions and herbal knowledge with her mother, her daily learning tasks have become much heavier.

If she wants to be lazy, Jenny will say it before Elron says it, because the latter has a clearer understanding-it is an extremely precious opportunity to learn these knowledge from Elron!

Magical alchemy is profound. Magicians need to invest a lot of energy and money to master it, and they may get nothing in the end.

It is difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with this subject. Without some background and money, don't think that those experienced magicians can teach you.

There is basically no other teacher like Elron who is experienced, free of charge, and teaches them everything.

"Hehe, I have learned a lot of useful knowledge recently. I also used the newly learned herbal medicine to cure a middle-aged aunt's fall injury!"

Irene's sad expression was just a flash, she was more willing to share happy things with Ronin.

Ronin couldn't help but give a thumbs up and rubbed the other's golden hair: "It seems that Wubei will have another great doctor in the future."

Irene clenched her fist, "Don't worry, I will!"

"Haha, then you have to work hard, I look forward to that day coming soon."

Ronin and Irene talked and laughed for a while, and then looked at the increasingly powerful black tiger. This guy probably has the strength of a first-level magic beast.

After it grows up, I wonder if I can find a storm wolf to breed with it and give birth to another litter of storm wolf cubs.

This matter can make Carlos pay attention to it and see if he can catch a live storm wolf.

If he can't find it, he can only look for some large dogs to breed, but I don't know if there is reproductive isolation?

After separating from Irene, Ronin went straight to Elron's office.

At this moment, the great doctor was buried in writing something on the desk. Ronin guessed that he should be recording his experience in developing magic potions.

Elron heard the voice, raised his head and saw Ronin coming, and immediately stopped writing, "My lord, you are here."

"Sorry to interrupt your work."

Ronin smiled and asked, "How about what I asked you to do last time?"

"It's done."

As he said, he took out five purification spell scrolls from the drawer.

Ronin took it and put it in the space ring.

Since Natalia's witch soul power is somewhat similar to the soul-eating surge in Lulans' body, Ronin wondered if the purification spell would work on Lulans.

Originally, he planned to take him to Wushanbao, but considering that he had a lot of work to do, he gave up the idea.

Anyway, the spell scrolls have the same effect as those cast by me personally, so he can just bring a few more purification spell scrolls with him.

"Elrond, there is something I need to discuss with you." Ronin said.

"Just give me whatever you want."

Elrond smiled, when did the lord become so polite.

"Are you interested in serving as the financial officer of Wubei Ling?"

Luo Ning said: "Spell scrolls account for a large part of Wubei Territory's income, and your magic potions should also have good sales in the future. It would be more suitable for you to be the financial officer."

The territory is gradually growing, various industries are on the right track, and there are more and more investment and income projects. It is really troublesome for him to handle every payment personally.

Ronin needs a financial officer to handle these things.

However, Elrond's smiling face fell.

"God of light, sir, please forgive me, I may not be able to help you with this matter!"

He pointed to the many bottles and cans beside him, which he had recently purchased.

"Magic potions, herbalism, and making spell scrolls already occupy most of my time. If I are asked to manage the territory's finances again, I'm afraid I won't have the time!"

Luo Ning scratched his head.

Although Elrond rejected his proposal, he gave a very reasonable reason.

These three things indeed require a lot of energy, and managing the territory's finances not only requires a lot of energy, but also involves dealing with various people, which affects his research.

"Sir, it would be more appropriate for me to see Chahar."

Elrond thought for a while and gave his own advice.

"During this period, he calculated everyone's salary in the territory, and there were no mistakes, which shows that he has this ability."

Ronin nodded.

Of course he had considered Chahar, but compared to Elrond, his foundation was much weaker.

The financial officer is sometimes responsible for management and decision-making. Chahar, who was born as an ordinary person, does not know whether he has that ability.

In addition to Chahar, Jenny is also more suitable.

It's just that the other party said that a breakthrough is about to happen. Compared with the financial officer, Luo Ning hopes to have a senior magician in his territory.

"In this case, I will go and talk to Chahar. It is a pity that his dream of being a great butler will be ruined."

Elrond smiled and said: "The chief steward also has to take care of the castle's finances. Since the castle's finances have been taken care of, there is nothing wrong with taking care of the territory's finances."

He would rather Luo Ning let him make a few more spell scrolls than let him manage the finances.

"Okay, that's it."

Luo Ning stood up and said, "I will go to Wushanbao tomorrow. If anything happens when I am not in the territory, you and Redal and McCann can handle it." (End of Chapter)
