Chapter 158 Elf Big Sister
Chapter 158 Elf Big Sister
In Count Runwolf's legendary journey, everyone was curious about how he came to befriend the proud elves.
To know.
The elves of the Golden Forest have always looked down on other races and never form alliances with outsiders.
but...
Others might not know, but how could Richard, a wolf cub, not know?
The biggest reason.
It was Earl of the Wolf who seduced the female chieftain of the Darkmoon Elves!
The two even have an illegitimate daughter!
In fact, the Earl of Strombard was quite dissolute in his youth. Perhaps it was because of this incident that he seemed to become a different person after returning to Strombardard, becoming more mature and stable, and adhering to aristocratic traditions in everything.
As someone of ordinary bloodline.
However, like Frost, he also practiced the rule of no premarital sex for heirs, which resulted in Richard's elder brother still being... .
The changed Earl of the Wolf began to show great affection for the Countess, and she gave birth to their five siblings over seven years.
But...
The Countess died the year after giving birth to Richard.
Richard simply couldn't believe that his mother, a mid-level superhuman, could die of illness during the rise of the Wolf Warriors. How could that be possible?
If you can't invite a high priest, can't you at least buy all sorts of random healing potions?
Not to mention that our ally is an elf. If we just ask the elf moon servant to help, we can cure most diseases, right?
Unfortunately, even the eldest brother was unaware of this, as he was not yet ten years old at the time.
Count Wolf once issued a decree forbidding anyone from discussing the cause of the Countess's death, with severe punishment for violators.
Because he was too young at the time, Richard didn't have a deep memory of his mother, so he didn't have much affection for her.
But as a son...
We need to know what's going on!
In fact, apart from his eldest brother, the Earl was very indifferent to the other children.
Even if other families focus all their resources on the first heir, they will still pay attention to their other children.
At the very least, they'll provide some life crops to see if there's any potential for extraordinary talent, which will ensure a future career path.
Richard and the others first ate life-sustaining food because their eldest brother violated the Earl's prohibition and secretly gave it to them.
to this end.
He was also severely punished by the count.
Richard found a few silver star parsnip plants among the first crops he planted at Wolfsburg, but he didn't eat them immediately.
Instead, he planned to enjoy it slowly in the Chiffon Wasteland, because he was worried that eating it would suddenly make him transcendent.
That would cause unnecessary trouble for my older brother.
However, those few silver-spotted parsnip plants were spotted by a lucky charm on the road, which led to the story at the beginning...
Richard wasn't surprised that the family was so wary of each other; in his memory, he had almost never seen the Earl with a kind expression.
In addition, his mother passed away at a young age.
Perhaps this is why the eldest brother is so protective of his younger siblings, and why Richard is even closer to his older brother.
And my older brother once said...
On the day his mother died, Felix was teaching him at Wolfsburg.
So Lee realized that Felix must know something. With such a big commotion, he must have heard something, right?
He hadn't asked until now, in Chiffon Territory, on his own turf, he finally couldn't hold back any longer.
Felix remained silent for a long time, so long that Richard thought he wouldn't answer.
He slowly raised his head, but ultimately shook it, his tone still incredibly firm.
"My lord."
"I swear by all my knowledge, the Countess did indeed die of illness."
"The Earl was deeply grieved by the passing of his wife and wept bitterly. This was not only my opinion, but also that of many others."
...
Richard turned around.
He stared intently into Felix's eyes, trying to find a trace of a lie within them.
Felix's eyes were calm, with a scholar's stubbornness and determination, revealing no trace of falsehood.
Richard's heart sank.
It seems so.
Either he really doesn't know anything, or he's made up his mind that he won't say anything no matter what.
Asking further will probably yield no results.
Richard sighed softly and waved his hand.
"Okay, you can go now."
Felix bowed, turned and left the study, his steps somewhat heavy.
Richard was left alone in the study.
He thought of his mother in this world. Although his memory was vague, he could always recall her holding him and humming a lullaby.
Who killed her?
Earl of the Wolf?
Darkmoon Clan Chief?
Or was it really just an accidental death, as Felix said?
Richard smirked thoughtfully; whatever the truth, he would investigate further.
If you want to find out what exactly happened in Wolfsburg that day, you'll have to make a trip to the Golden Forest someday.
Let's talk about it next year.
Anyway, more than ten years have passed, so a little more time won't make a difference.
...
...
No more dwelling on it.
Richard changed into a brand new all-black aristocratic suit, and his mood improved considerably.
Leaving the lord's mansion, he soared into the air towards the training ground, intending to observe the skill combinations of the soldiers after their job advancement.
Of all the professions, aside from the Necromancer who hasn't yet changed jobs, Li Jue felt that the most powerful was the Contract Soul Master.
because...
In the game, monsters only follow a rigid, predetermined program.
For example, slimes are monsters that come in several different colored variants.
Although they have different attributes, they are all based on the same code and textures; they are just monsters with different skins.
Their attack methods and operational logic are exactly the same, using only a few repetitive patterns.
But in reality...
Monsters are very agile beings, and even the same type of monster can have vastly different levels of basic intelligence.
Take, for example, the Swiftwind Fear Wolf of the Swiftwind Fear Wolf.
Some are born with the temperament of a wolf king, are exceptionally outstanding, and even possess a degree of human intelligence; these are the ones suitable for taming into war mounts.
Some are as stupid as huskies, constantly chasing their own tails in circles, and are not even suitable as pets.
However, this also leads to a greater number of contract options in reality, hundreds or thousands of times more than in games.
If someone, like Earl of the Wolf, were to reach the Saintly Glory level in their lifetime, they would undoubtedly be an absolute god-tier class in the late game.
Not to mention the monster leveling mechanism. In the game, you gain experience by killing monsters, and in real life, as long as you are fed, the growth rate is frighteningly fast.
The bigger your appetite!
The faster you advance!
Chiffon cakes can lack anything but living crops, which is why Richard highly values this extraordinary profession.
...
Unfortunately...
The twenty contracted soul masters are still at the initial stage of transcendence and cannot form contracts with the intermediate-level monsters in the mine.
Now that we've advanced to the 38th level of the mine, we can't even find a single green slime, so there's nowhere to practice.
As a result, they can only undergo anti-vertigo training now, and Richard came to assign them new tasks.
Go to the Black Pine Forest...
--Practice with contracted animals!
Before he came to reclaim the Chiffon Wasteland, the Black Pine Forest was a primeval forest with a very complete ecosystem.
Besides some large, ferocious beasts, there are also many soft, squishy creatures.
Richard had seen some small animals such as squirrels, sables, snow hares, lynxes, and wildcats.
Besides.
There are also all kinds of birds:
Robins, little tits, goldfinches, warblers, tail tits, magpies, golden eagles, and so on.
Richard had been eyeing these furry and adorable creatures for a long time.
...
According to the later-stage plan.
Once the outer city is developed, we will enclose an area of over ten square kilometers at the junction of Qifeng Wasteland and Luanshi Forest to build an ecological park.
Plant some flowers and plants.
Build a pavilion and a separate courtyard.
Finally, all the animals that could be raised in the North were moved there.
Contractual Soul Masters act as administrators, taming and caring for the animals, while serfs are responsible for cleaning up excrement and maintaining cleanliness.
Anyone can visit for free, but they must not harm the animals inside; otherwise, if caught, they will receive a free 10-pull gacha.
Unfortunately, it's just a dream; it's too early to build an ecological park now.
The soldiers would tame the animals they acquired on the spot before releasing them back into the wild, purely as practice.
of course.
I met someone cute.
Bring it back to me, sir!
As for the lapdog I've been longing for, I've already told the ferret merchant to bring a few good-looking ones with them next time they deliver goods.
It was evening.
The twenty contracted soul masters completed the task assigned by the lord. Some contracted with squirrels, while others tamed lynxes and snow rabbits.
The most outrageous one was that they actually brought back a chubby badger, which was quite adorable.
Besides these, there were dozens of small birds with colorful feathers.
These cute and pretty little creatures were all given to Susan, who specially built a row of small wooden houses for them to live in at the camp.
A thick layer of soft wool was laid out, along with cornmeal and wheat grains, ensuring the animals could thrive.
Richard was holding a squirrel, the little guy blinking its round eyes and rubbing against his palm gently.
Gee!
The contract makes all the difference!
The fur feels dry and split, far less soft and supple than the rabbit ears and tail of Xueyue.
--Not nearly as good!
...
It's okay.
This is all because no one cared for me before.
If you follow me from now on, I guarantee I'll raise you into a big fatso with shiny, lustrous fur. That way, it'll be really satisfying to pet you.
The maids were overjoyed by the arrival of these little creatures, squatting down to pet them with beaming smiles.
Martha raised her hand and released a ray of life-giving light into the little animals, who instantly perked up and started jumping around.
Xueyue hugged an adorable snow rabbit, chuckling at Richard with a blush spreading across her face.
