Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence-Chapter 497 - 4: The Necessity of First Night Rights and Extraordinary Grass

This was equivalent to several days of their income. A farmer’s average daily income was about 20 Copper Coins. The only thing that pained them was that the Civil Servant announced that one bundle of hay would exchange for one Copper Coin, but they could never get that much. The pastures’ overseer, that fat-headed and big-eared guy, would withhold two to three percent of the commission at will, under the guise of saving for the Lord.

The farmers were helpless, but they were content with the few Copper Coins in their hands. No matter what, this was the benevolent governance of the Lord. With this additional income, their children wouldn’t have to compete with stray dogs for food.

After all, even if the Civil Servant didn’t pay them, these commoners would still have to "voluntarily" sacrifice for the Lord’s great cause.

But the situation changed when Lord Su Li personally inspected the pasture’s fodder. On the fertile pasture piled high with tens of thousands of bundles of hay, the fat-headed and big-eared overseer’s head was hung at the top of the flagpole.

The fertility of the pasture and the piling of hay made Lord Su Li very satisfied.

However, the fact that the overseer dared to manipulate the equestrian project made Lord Su Li very angry.

Corruption in equestrian affairs was Su Li’s taboo and thunder pool. Anyone who dared to take a step beyond would face the most severe punishment without hesitation!

Although this minor steward only embezzled a few dozen Silver Coins, the Judicial Court still had no possibility of forgiving him.

Meanwhile, as the hay was being stored, Edmond’s Moonlight Alfalfa project in the Holy Forest was also progressing rapidly.

These noble Silver Horn Giant Shepherd Deer were like the aristocrats among the Giant Shepherd Deer. When they entered the Holy Forest, they patrolled the entire forest, and a large amount of Moonlight Alfalfa grew in the tracks they left, greatly reducing Edmond’s cultivation time.

If these Giant Shepherd Deer could cover the entire forest with their footprints, they might be able to cultivate thousands of acres of superior pasture.

After all, the area of this Holy Forest was not large; it was transformed manually by Edmond.

For this great plan, Edmond even bribed Shepherd Leader Lunadeshan of the Tal Church, asking her to seduce these Giant Shepherd Deer.

Of course, he didn’t dare to say this directly. Otherwise, Lunadeshan could have easily torn his beard out.

He promoted the project under the guise of cooperation.

This was also a tradition for the two churches. Priests from the Dawn Church and the Tal Church would often collaborate to host ceremonies at festivals.

This was also his inherent impression of the Tal Church. Tal and his Holy Beasts were old perverts, even a Giant Shepherd Deer likes to be mounted by a pure maiden.

Lunadeshan was unaware of Edmond’s thoughts. Because this old fellow used the guise of compensation to deceive her.

Initially, Lunadeshan’s Giant Shepherd Deer was lent to Vandar and ended up dying in the Dragon’s Nest. Its skull and the corpses of two other Giant Shepherd Deer tracked down by Su Li’s intelligence were collected back, and the Dwarves crafted three Holy Beast Skull Scythes using bronze, oak, and skulls. These were handed over to a few pure 17-year-old maidens for harvesting Moonlight Alfalfa in the forest.

Both Vandar and Edmond suggested to her to tame another Silver Horn Giant Shepherd Deer as her new Advanced Mount.

Lunadeshan gladly accepted the goodwill of these two old men, though she didn’t understand their true intentions. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

However, things did not go as planned; these Silver Horn Giant Shepherd Deer were indifferent to her, even less so than towards Hilude.

But one should know that Hilude was no pure maiden; in fact, she was tainted with Su Li’s scent.

This was basic physiological knowledge; a perfect intimate encounter would leave a man’s scent within a woman’s body for at least two days.

This meant that during these two days, the woman’s inner garments would carry the man’s remnants during her movements.

Yet, even so, the Silver Horn Giant Shepherd Deer were closer to Hilude, which was quite a blow to Lunadeshan.

Though she enjoyed admiring the bare chest and abs of male Knights, she was genuinely still a pure maiden devoted to serving Tal.
