Chapter 47 Struggle in the field

  Boom!

  The spiritual core of the crab-shaped puppet continuously outputs energy, allowing this huge mechanical crab to gallop across Little Duke's farm.

  Where the Benz passed by, the soil was all turned over and crushed.

  Ordinary farmers in the farming team followed behind to pick up some gravel, tree roots and other things. These things can easily block the next work of the crab-shaped puppets and must be cleaned by hand.

  The sky is gloomy, and there are already raindrops falling.

   "The weather is fine, Boss Little Duke. It will rain after the wheat is planted. The harvest next year will definitely be good." Old Joseph said with a pipe in his mouth.

"hope so."

   "To be honest, Boss Little Duke, you bought the farm, which really surprised me. I often go to the little Sam repair card shop to repair the card. It is a good business, sitting in the shop is not leaking. The work on the farm is uncomfortable, and it is exposed to the wind and the sun every day."

   "But I still prefer the farm, free and unrestrained."

   "Haha, I can only say that each has its own advantages. But Boss Duke, you are a mixed breed of wheat, and you have a lot of money to hire Lingzhi envoys."

  Old Cerf is actually not optimistic about Duke.

   Most of the people who run the farm business are Lingzhi envoys. After all, the farmer himself can use the breathing method to guide Lingzhi's breathing resonance. If you want to hire a spirit planter to cast spells, this is not a small amount of extra expenses.

   Duke just smiled at that.

   Who said he was going to spend money!

  He turned his head and said to Levin: "Go make some pots of coffee, and then take out the snacks I bought, and give them to the farming team to enjoy."

  Levin immediately ran to the workers' dormitory to make coffee.

  Although Duke’s own house is still being renovated and cannot be moved in, the row of houses in the worker’s dormitory has almost been built.

  Every time he came with Duke, he would bring some unused luggage from the rental house.

  Old Cerf took the coffee and snacks, his beard trembling with a smile: "Well, hospitable Boss Duke, come, let us toast together to pay respects to Boss Little Duke."

   Soon it began to rain lightly.

   This does not prevent the farming team from continuing to work, and the construction team over there is still decorating in an orderly manner, and everything is going well at Little Duke Farm.

   "Boss, Aunt Abby's house has a big hound next door, which is pregnant. We can buy a few hounds from him." Looking at the scene outside the dormitory, Levin proposed to Duke with a hint of longing, "It will definitely be great!"

   "Is that big hound a 0-ring spirit beast?" Duke asked casually.

  He reached into his pocket, curled up in a small pocket, and licked Duke's palm with his tongue. With Xiaodou, a young spirit beast, Duke already looked down on non-spiritual beasts.

  Levin shook his head: "It seems not."

"forget about it."

"oh."

   "You don't have to worry about it. When I go to Shenjiao City next time, I will buy a few four-eared hound puppies. When they grow up, they will be stronger than any non-spiritual hound."

   "Really boss!" Levin asked excitedly.

"certainly."

  The farm is so big, if there are not a few spirit dogs to guard the house, he can't sleep well at night.

   Among the 0-ring spirit dogs, the four-eared hound is known for its loyalty and fierceness, and it has a chance to evolve into a 1-ring spirit beast-six-eared spirit dog if it is properly cultivated. It's just that four-eared hounds are a little more expensive than ordinary spirit dogs, but Duke can afford them now.

  Buying a farm, sowing wheat, and building a house cost about 30 gold dragons in total, and he still has more than 60 gold dragons in his hand.

   Besides, there are still many refurbished cards in hand.

   "Boss, can the four-eared hound be handed over to me? I raised hounds with my grandfather when I was young... After my grandfather died, the hounds were all sold by my father."

   "Do you still have experience in raising hounds?" Duke was overjoyed, "Well, when I buy a four-eared hound, I will leave it to you to feed."

"Um."

  Levin grinned foolishly.

  Working under Duke, he felt extremely relaxed. Duke was better than any boss he had ever met. Now he is excited to come to work on the farm and raise his favorite hound.

  …

   It has been light rain for two consecutive days.

  The farming team braved the rain to sow all the 100 acres of wheat, and the construction team continued to decorate the house, and it will be ready in a few days.

  The person in charge of the construction team said: "Boss Little Duke, the drilling team has already contacted you, and they will come to drill the well in a few days. When the well is drilled, our decoration should also be completed. Once the water pipe is connected, you can come here with your bags."

"OK."

   Back to town.

  Duke said to Levin: "Tomorrow we will go to Shenjiao City to buy some things, and then we will buy the four-eared hound."

"Um."

  The fare of the black beetle bus to Shenjiao City has increased.

   And the number of fixed shifts per day has also increased, with two shifts in the morning and two shifts in the afternoon. In this way, the black beetle cars on each shift are still too full to be crowded.

  The pioneering war started, and Duke couldn't see the war scene, but the impact of the war was experienced all the time.

   The compartment is smelly.

  It is mainly emitted by mercenaries, and the sweat is mixed with the smell of blood.

  These mercenaries are generally 0-ring knights. They not only ride in the car by themselves, but also bring their own contracted spirit beasts into the car. They are all low-level 0-ring spirit beasts, locked in the animal cabin of the black beetle's belly, and the smell floats into the cabin along the gap, making the stench even stronger.

   "The passage to Cuihai Valley is almost completed, and if you want to find leaks, it's hard to find leaks." Some mercenaries opened their clothes and talked loudly.

   "Haha, you have gained a lot these few days."

   "It's not as rewarding as your mercenary group. I heard that you suppressed the lair of the 2-ring spirit beast - the blood shrew. Did you catch them?"

   "No, the **** has grown up long ago, if it's a little bastard, it's really a big deal!"

  Duke frowned when he heard this from the side.

  Like the long-haired meerkat, after the cub of the blood shrew makes a contract with the knight, it also has a probability to evolve into a 2-ring phantom beast-crazy blood shrew. It's just that compared with the long-haired mongoose evolving into a 2-ring phantom beast-the mongoose, the evolution probability of the crazy blood shrew is much smaller.

   "When someone gets rich, someone is unlucky." A mercenary suddenly said with emotion, "The leader of the Broken Sword Mercenary Corps, the 1st ring knight Delemon, died under the siege of the beast horde."

   "I've heard that, tsk tsk, I've said it a long time ago, the name Broken Sword is not good, look, the regiment leader just died, and the tough battle in Cuihai Valley hasn't started yet!"

   "Hey, do you have any news, which great arcane mage wants to come to Cuihai Valley to fight in person?"

   "I don't know, didn't the airship from the Erwin Mage Tower come over a few days ago, could it be the Erwin Great Arcanist?"

   "It doesn't look like that. I've inquired about it. Erwin is still very young and his career is on the rise. There's no need to start a pioneering war in such a hurry, right?"

   "Then why is the airship from the Erwin Mage Tower coming here?"

   "It seems that he is here for the platform of Hibbedi Spirit Mine Company. The Grand Arcanist Erwin has shares in Hibbedia. It must be Hibbedi who wants to occupy the spirit mine of Cuihai Valley."

  Listening to the bragging of the mercenaries along the way, Duke also knew a lot about the pioneering war.

  Currently, the pioneering war is still in the early stage of road exploration, and the passage to Cuihai Valley is being sorted out. The real climax of the war will be when the passage is opened. When humans want to occupy the spiritual spring of Cuihai Valley, the high-level spirit beasts there will definitely not want it.

   In the end, it may take more than ten years to completely wipe out all the high-level spirit beasts.

   But these have nothing to do with Duke for the time being.

  After he got off the bus at the arrival station, he took Levin straight to the waste card station. After bribing the gatekeeper, he learned that there were several waste cards in the warehouse, so he immediately decided to make a big deal.
