Chapter 46: Leaving Earlier than the Counterattack Troops
For three whole days, Chi Nan stayed in his room, and even the food was brought in by his bald father. The food in this world cannot be said to taste bad, but it is definitely not very good.
Moreover, there are only a few types of food, which are basically raw materials. Nobles can only eat this kind of food. You can imagine the level of food in this world. Many times, Chi Nan can only produce some fruits to change the taste.
It's a pity that Chi Nan has no intention of improving the food in the other world now. The top priority is to improve his own strength.
Unfortunately, after reaching the black iron level, it is not as easy for Chi Nan to improve. Every time a plant is spawned and controlled, only a small amount of growth can be achieved. If you want to advance to the next level, you don't know how many years and months it will take.
Chi Nan discovered that if permanent growth was used, the plants after growth would always be under his control and would continue to provide strength to himself. Within a certain range, the plants that are spawned by themselves will continuously improve themselves. But ordinary plants still don't improve themselves very much.
If you want to get a significant improvement, you can only rely on plants at the black iron level. It's a pity that I can't go anywhere now in the Black Stone Fortress, and it's impossible to find black iron-level plants.
High-level magic plants are generally either useless or dangerous, and they are not easy to cultivate, so Blackstone Fortress will not grow them. Chi Nan can't access any of the useful ones now.
As a noble who appeared out of nowhere, he was not welcomed by those nobles at all. For such a long time, no one has come to see me. It can't be said that there is no such thing, because Sawyer has been here. It's just that Sawyer didn't come here for him, but for some improved fruits he had spawned. After the improvements, they tasted very good.
On this day, Chi Nan was still slowly studying the various plants in his hands as before. But a voice suddenly came from the door. "Lord Baron Chi Nan, do you have time now?"
Chi Nan was stunned, put down the seeds, and walked out. There were several guards outside, and now Chi Nan also knew that the guards with a big furry thing on their heads were all high-level guards with noble backgrounds.
"What's the matter?" Chi Nan asked. There are only a few people in Blackstone Fortress who can use such guards.
The guard handed a box to Chi Nan with both hands: "This is a joint order from the city lord and the governor. I hope you can take over your territory as soon as possible. Now Remas needs the help of nobles like you."
Chi Nan's face turned dark. Does Remas need this newly promoted noble? What about those nobles who have been nobles for a long time but escaped with their soldiers? Those guys are probably in the Blackstone Fortress now. Why haven't I heard of them setting off? You must let yourself go. Damn it. What do these people want to do?
Do you want yourself to die as soon as possible? But it seems that you have not offended anyone except Farah. Chi Nan was a little confused, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a murderous aura.
"No, this is unfair to you. There are wild orcs outside now, and you will be in danger if you go out.
The guard still said respectfully and calmly: "Your Excellency is a nobleman personally conferred by Her Royal Highness the Princess. Of course, you should set an example and make greater contributions to the kingdom. This is also what the Princess means."
There was only a slit left in Chi Nan's eyes. After a long time, Chi Nan reached out and took the box over, and said coldly: "Okay, I accept it, let's go." No matter what they wanted to do, Chi Nan couldn't say it now. Completely incapable of survival. After these few days of proficiency, Chi Nan has roughly determined what step his abilities can take.
"If there's nothing wrong, I'll take my leave." Chi Nan waved his hand and the guard left.
"Pack up your things and we'll set off now. We don't need to bring too much water and food. We don't lack these things." After thinking about it, Chi Nan continued. The bald father and the one-legged man were helpless. What else could they do now but obey the orders?
Opening the box, there was indeed an order and twenty silver dragons inside. For ordinary people, this is a very large fortune, but for nobles, it is nothing at all. Seeing this, Chi Nan's eyes suddenly became colder. "Fortunately, it's enough to buy a few mediocre horses."
Chi Nan took out the silver coins from the box and prepared to go out and sell some horses. It's still several days' journey from here to Hongsha Ridge. It would be too dangerous if you just walk by yourself.
Not long after he went out, Chi Nan saw Sophira, whom he hadn't seen for three days. "It turns out to be Her Royal Highness the Third Princess Sophira. I wonder what brings you here. I'm busy going to take office."
In this case, it was almost a suicide. It was strange that Chi Nan didn't have any resentment.
Sophila was a little embarrassed, but she still explained: "I'm really sorry, I didn't want to at first. However, the city lord of Blackstone Fortress and the governor of Remas are not from my side, and I just found out that they It’s been…forget it, it’s okay if you don’t understand these things, but you have to be careful.”
"Also, I will help you find ways to gain more power. All you have to do is develop as much as possible and expand your influence. You are now regarded by others as one of my people, and we must help each other. "
Is that so? Chi Nan's resentment subsided a little. But even so, Chi Nan still felt that he couldn't get rid of his anger. "Hmph, no matter who is looking for trouble with me, don't let me know. Otherwise, I will definitely make you look good when I have the chance."
Chi Nan said to himself silently in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm: "Okay, I understand, I will develop well. However, I also hope that you can keep your word."
Sophia nodded slightly: "You are the only noble I have canonized, and I will definitely not give up on you. In addition, keep the token well and don't let anyone see it. If you have any trouble, take the token to me. My promise will not change."
After that, Sophia turned and left. Chi Nan muttered silently in his heart: "Didn't we say that the hero who saves the beauty must be committed to her? Sure enough, fairy tales are all lies." Chi Nan only thought about this in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it out loud. Alas, why is it so difficult to do something without strength and power? Chi Nan has also experienced it.
