Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

The benefit of flying monsters is that wherever Su Li and Vandar want to go, they only need a moment to reach.

The Jorn Shallow Bay is already close to the Hesse Territory, and now with the Griffin and Giant Eagle, they just took off and accelerated, arriving above this Holy Land.

Now, this Holy Land is no longer as narrow as before; it finally has the appearance of fertile plains, with reclaimed land covering over 30 kilometers!

Over 30 kilometers long, Su Li and Vandar rode the Griffin at an altitude of a hundred meters, taking in the vast landscape. On this fertile and flat land, prosperous fields and fertile lands stretch as far as the eye can see; ordered fields are planted with various crops between forest strips.

Reya’s Divine Grace envelops here, as if a layer of golden mist hovers over the wheat fields. Winds stirred up by Su Li’s Griffin form silver ripples across the wheat fields. The Giant Eagle, steered by Vandar, follows closely, its wings brushing against forest strips, startling countless white-feathered birds.

As they lowered their altitude, Su Li could see the conditions of each field more clearly. Unique pearl wheat and gangtai wheat from the Hesse Territory unfold their leaves under the hazy Divine Grace, and moonlight cabbage near the clear streams has already begun to bloom. Even beside the ridges, Reya’s stone circles and statues already stand tall.

And within the stone circles and the tree houses in the forest strips, various elves move about, including Father of Grains Polevik, Lady Logan, and a Sleep Root.

This is an Essence of Nature formed by roots, wheat stalks, and earth, with a beating green heart inside its chest. Legend says it is the witness of Reya and Yurik’s covenant, so its heart belongs half to harsh winter and half to warm spring. Sacrificing honey and fruit wine to it can cause flowers to bloom over a plot of land, greatly increasing honey and orchard yields.

Originally, it lived in the Luoteng Canyon, but recently the nuns from the Dawn Goddess Church invited it to this Holy Land to promote the blooming of Reya’s Holy Land’s Maiden’s Ring and improve the orchard.

After Su Li circled around, he landed on the dam at Jorn Shallow Bay and smiled at Vandar, who landed right behind him: "Last year, this place was full of thorny salt flats, but this year, it’s a broad expanse of fertile land, truly a miracle for humankind. How many acres of good land are there now?"

Vandar immediately replied, "After the summer planting and sowing, we’ve expanded the farmland here at Jorn Shallow Bay to 250,000 acres! And as you can see, farther east on the flat land, there are half-elves using heavy plowing machines to cultivate new fields."

"According to our expectation, before this planting season ends, our new fields will reach over 2800 hectares."

Su Li nodded in satisfaction and said, "This progress is even a bit faster than our initial estimates."

Vandar laughed and explained, "Mainly because the development pace of our territory is amazing, and developments in many areas ultimately support agricultural growth. For instance, the increase in the number of half-elves, more equipment, and the essence souls from the Dawn Church have all aided the development of this Holy Land."

"In fact, it’s quite difficult to turn a thorn-covered wasteland into neat and fertile farmland. First, we need to use heavy plows to shred various thorns and roots and flip the compacted land. Then, old farmers use eagle-beak hoes to break up soil clumps, removing gravel, weeds, and plant roots. Afterwards, the soil is loosened, the land leveled, and ridges are opened."

"Each part of this process is challenging. Especially those thorns and sturdy roots—twenty or more blades of the heavy plows have been damaged."

Upon hearing this, Su Li couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise: "Is it so difficult to clear this thorn land? So many blades of the heavy plows have been damaged."

Facing such great difficulties and developing wasteland is indeed not easy.

Vandar nodded and said: "Primarily, in this wasteland, aside from thorns, there are many short shrubs. Our Dawn Church found many precious tree species inside, such as the iron-toothed thorn, a valuable plant that clings to walls. Its serrated leaves contain a paralyzing toxin, and once it cuts into a wound, the enemy’s movements become stiff and sluggish. Crucially, it grows quickly, exhibiting typical Tal wildness. These thorns typically form over a meter in size in about three months after the seeds fall, and within half a year, they can cover an entire wall. Coupled with our stone skin pumpkins, they can significantly enhance the defense capabilities of strongholds."

"Essentially, in an extremely fortified stronghold, a stationed business knight can lead dozens of Free People’s Corps to fend off an attack from a roaring beast herd of over a hundred."

"Additionally, our nuns are guiding the wasteland development process, and before the heavy plows clear all plants, they found a batch of Star Dew Begonia Fruit, which perfectly matches our territory’s Star Dew Rose. This is also why you see a Sleep Root here. We need to expedite the planting of a patch of Star Dew Roses here, covering the orchard under the dam."

In this world, items named moonlight or star dew more or less carry a hint of witchcraft.

This is related to the Witch Moon, so they possess some peculiar abilities.

Su Li curiously asked, "What effect does this Star Dew Begonia Fruit have?"
