Chapter 231 A little gain

Ronin spent the next few days in the swamp.

Every night, he would find a high slope, use several flame beam magics to drain the moisture from the ground, and then take out the tent from the space ring and pitch it for the night.

With Carlos here, he doesn't have to worry about monster attacks.

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

After all, you have to search in the wetland. If you are not careful, you will get stuck in the quagmire.

Thanks to Luo Ning's strength and the presence of Carlos by his side, otherwise it would have been hard to say.

Four days passed by in a flash, and Luo Ning found nothing at first, but gradually made discoveries.

There are now more than a dozen suspected wild rice locations marked on the parchment in his hand.

These locations are basically on both sides of the river and in shallow water areas. There are reeds, cattails, and these green seedlings that are suspected of being wild rice.

Why use suspected?

That's because although Luo Ning 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 wait until July or August to take a look.

At that time, the rice is heading and mature, so it is very easy to identify.

In the air, Ronin, riding on the back of Carlos, arrived at the border of Swamp Town. Some distance further ahead was the sea.

The swamp is actually directly connected to the sea.

The wind and waves here seem to be relatively strong, bringing seawater to the offshore area, making the hydrological conditions near the coast particularly complicated.

Luo Ning originally thought that this kind of entrance to the sea was suitable for building a port, but now it seems that it is not suitable here. He needs to look north along this east coast.

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

He looked at the sea and put away his thoughts of going around on the sea.

"Come on Carlos, we should go back."

The giant dragon roared, wagging its tail happily and turned back.

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

The crocodiles, pythons, and deer in the swamp are all delicious, especially the second-level monster python caught the day before yesterday, the meat is quite delicious.

It decided to continue to come here when it has time.

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

After flying all the way, Luo Ning returned to Swamp Castle and saw Eileen, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The little girl is fourteen years old this year and has grown very fast. She is now 1.56 meters tall. After putting on a decent long skirt, she looks much more beautiful than before.

Having not seen Luo Ning for a long time, Eileen was naturally in a cheerful mood, "Brother, why do you have time to come here?"

Luo Ning smiled and said, "I happened to pass by here because of something. How are you doing lately?"

Speaking of this, Irene cried sadly.

Since learning magic potions and herbalism from Elrond with her mother, her daily study tasks have become much heavier.

If you want to be a little lazy, Jenny will say it before Elrond, because the latter has a clearer understanding - it is an extremely precious opportunity to learn this knowledge from Elrond!

Magical potion science is inherently profound, and a magician who wants to master it needs to invest a lot of energy and money, and may gain nothing in the end.

It is difficult for ordinary people to get into this subject. Without any background or money, don't expect experienced magicians to teach you.

There is basically no other teacher like Elron who has experience, charges no fees, and teaches them everything he has to offer.

"Hey, I've learned a lot of useful knowledge recently. I even used my newly acquired herbal medicine to heal a middle-aged aunt's injury from a fall!"

Irene's expression of mourning only fleeted, and she was more willing to share happy things with Luo Ning.

Luo Ning couldn't help but give a thumbs up and rubbed the other person's long golden hair: "It seems that Wu Bei will have another great doctor in the future."

Erin clenched her fists and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely do it!"

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

Luo Ning and Irene joked for a while, and then took a look at the increasingly powerful Black Tiger. This guy was probably as strong as a first-level Warcraft.

When he reaches adulthood, he wonders if he can find a storm wolf to mate with him and give birth to a litter of storm wolf pups.

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

If you can't find it, you can only look for some large dogs for breeding. I just don't know if there is reproductive isolation?

After separating from Eileen, Ronin went straight to Elrond's office.

At this moment, the great doctor was immersed in writing something on his desk. Luo Ning guessed that he was recording his experiences in developing magic potions.

Elrond heard the sound, raised his head and saw Ronin coming, and immediately stopped writing, "Sir, you are here."

"I'm disturbing your work."

Luo Ning smiled and asked: "How was the thing I asked you to do last time?"

"It's done."

He said, taking out five purification spell scrolls from the drawer.

Luo Ning took it and put it into the space ring.

Since Natalia's soul-shaman power was somewhat similar to the soul-eating surge in Rulans' body, Luo Ning wondered whether the purification technique would have any effect on Rulans.

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

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!"

Ronin 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 the salary of everyone 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.

Besides Chahar, Jenny is also more suitable.

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

"In this case, I will go and talk to Chahar. It's 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)
