"Quest reward received: 1000 experience points!"
Eron nodded in satisfaction, "Very good, Edward, you can organize people to start logging in the mountains. At the same time, gather another group to start quarrying stones. The era of muddy paths will come to an end!"
A hint of a smile flashed in Edward's eyes, "Yes, My Lord, I will organize the manpower immediately!"
Edward slowly departed. As he left the castle, his expression grew even more joyful.
The young lion had finally grown, revealing the aura and ambition of a hegemon. As a servant, Edward was extremely pleased. At this moment, he no longer had to worry about his Young Master—no, he should say, Baron Eron.
Soon, sixty people were drawn from the town, half for logging and half for quarrying stones. Another sixty people were assigned to build new houses and flat roads within the town.
Eron, with his perspective as a transmigrator, offered some very useful suggestions for these constructions.
This earned Eron endless praise from the craftsman in the town.
Two days later, as the reconstruction of the town was in full swing.
Sparrow, whom Eron had sent out earlier to find a buyer, returned, bringing a buyer with him.
Eron was extremely familiar with this person.
"Hey! Eron, I didn't expect you to be so lucky, capturing a Natural Spirit as soon as you arrived!"
Eron walked to the castle gate and saw a luxurious carriage slowly approaching from a distance.
On the carriage was the Thorn Flower family crest, which he was most familiar with.
Eron poked his head out of the carriage and greeted Eron.
Eron's expression was calm, "Eron, are you also here to purchase Magic Roses?"
"The Earl Territory shouldn't be short of such magical plants, should it?"
Eron showed a hint of helplessness, "You know, after taking too many magic potions, one always develops resistance, and the effects become weaker and weaker. The Earl Territory has rarely seen new magical plants appear in recent years, making it impossible to concoct new magic potions. And the previous magic potions already have very little effect on me."
"After breaking through to Fourth-level Knight, the effects of those magic potions became increasingly low. Only the family's Thorn Flower magic potion is useful to me, but I can't keep taking Thorn Flower magic potions."
"Oh? You are a Fourth-level Knight now?"
Eron was slightly surprised, but his expression remained calm. After all, he had already leveled up his character twice using experience points, and he was now a Third-level Knight.
In just over a week, from an apprentice knight to a Third-level Knight, this cultivation speed was unprecedented!
"Yes, I finally condensed the Knight's Aura and became a Silver Knight."
Eron revealed a slightly triumphant smile.
Eron touched his nose, "Congratulations."
"Then please come in, let me show you my Magic Rose garden."
Eron didn't waste words and directly led Eron to the garden behind the castle.
As they approached, they could feel a rich magical fluctuation.
"Hmm, I haven't found a new type of magic potion, this is simply great for me!"
Eron's eyes gleamed with a hint of desire when he saw Eron's Magic Rose garden.
"Since you are so satisfied, let's talk about the price."
Eron smiled. He was very short on money right now. As a lord, developing his territory required a large amount of gold coins.
And at the same time, he also had a system, which was a big spender of gold coins. The young dragon Safineeded an Advanced Dragon Nest to accelerate its growth, and he himself needed a lot of gold coins to quickly acquire the creatures he needed after unlocking new species.
For example… the horses for his knight order. Well, considering his current economic capabilities, using horses would suffice for now. When he had more money and unlocked new species, he wouldn't mind buying some magical creatures as mounts to create his invincible army!
"Emi!"
Emi was currently sprawled on Eron's head, playing with his hair.
Eron stared at Emi for a long time, then said, "Eron, how about I trade my Thorn Flower Natural Spirit for Emi?"
Eron chuckled at the remark, "I don't think so. I only sell magical plants."
Eron sighed, "What a pity. In that case, I want to establish a long-term transaction with you. I need a lot of magical plants!"
"Alright, as long as you can give me a good price."
Eron said with a slight smile.
"I can purchase your Magic Roses at a twenty percent premium over the market price."
Eron said with a slightly serious expression.
Eron thought for a moment. This was a brand-new species of magical plant, so the price would definitely be higher. This was certain, as Eron was not the only one who developed resistance to magic potions.
Every new species of magical plant that appeared would sell for a price significantly higher than the market price.
A twenty percent premium wasn't much.
However, considering his relationship with Eron, Eronstill decided to sell it to him.
"Alright, but I have one condition."
Eron said with a smile.
Eron breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally thought Eron would disagree with his offer and had already prepared to raise the price.
"What condition?"
Eron smiled.
"I've recently taken a liking to collecting monster furs or bones. Of course, I don't need too much of each monster's fur or bone, just a palm-sized piece will do."
"I hope you can give me some furs or bones from different monsters. At the same time, I also hope that Rose Town can become known to the merchant groups in the Earl Territory. After all, as you can see, this place is too remote, and my people are too impoverished. They need change."
Of Eron's two conditions, the first one was nothing to Eron. He himself had many collectibles; at worst, he could just give some to Eron.
But the second condition, which required opening up trade routes to allow Rose Town to have more connections with the outside world and for outside merchant groups to enter, caused even Eron to hesitate slightly.
After all, this was not a small sum.
However, it wasn't long before Eron nodded and agreed.
Anyway, he also needed to send people in and out of Rose Town long-term to purchase Magic Roses. Since that was the case, he also needed a stable and safe passage.
After all, this remote and desolate place had too many wild beasts, and without knight protection, very few ordinary people dared to enter.
"That's great, my dear brother. Don't worry, I won't let you do all the work alone. I will also organize people to pave the road on my side. I just ask that you please help me promote Rose Town when you return, dear brother."
Eron said with a beaming smile.
"Alright, you can rest assured!"
Eron was in a good mood. After having people collect the first batch of ripe Magic Roses, he couldn't wait to leave.
Before leaving, he said to Eron, "Eron, developing Rose Town is too difficult. Everything you're doing might just be a waste of effort. Instead of spending that effort and gold coins developing this broken town, you might as well spend more effort renovating your castle."
Eron was noncommittal about this and didn't care.
Developing Rose Town is meaningless?
Heh heh, you probably don't know that I'm already a Third-level Knight. Next time we meet, maybe you'll still be a Fourth-level Knight, and I'll already be a Fifth-level or Six-level Knight.
This is the benefit of developing territory, what do you know!
Eron silently scorned Eron in his heart, then he sent off Eron's carriage.
At the same time, he also received a full five thousand gold coins!
"Damn, magical plants really make money! One acre of Magic Roses can get me five thousand gold coins!"
No wonder many nobles dreamed of owning a Natural Spirit. With such a treasure, they would never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of their lives, right?
This wave directly made Eron's wallet bulge.
The next batch of magical plants would ripen in a month.
Eron expressed no dissatisfaction with this.
After all, he was about to have a second Natural Spirit, and then there would be another huge wave of gold coins, heh heh!
"Emi!"
Emi sat on Eron's shoulder, looking at her master's smiling face, and couldn't help but cheer.
"Emi, let's go, I'll take you to eat Magic Crystals."
Eron pulled out a Magic Crystal and said to the cute and beautiful Natural Spirit, Emi.
"Emi, Emi!"
Emi's eyes immediately lit up, and saliva flowed from her small mouth.
The Magic Crystals were, of course, brought out from the primary Dragon Nest. Anyway, the young dragon Safi's Dragon Nest was full of these things, so taking some out didn't matter.
He ground the Magic Crystals and fed them to Emi little by little until the Natural Spirit's belly swelled up. Only then did Emi stop eating and fly back to her room.
She lay down on the soft small bed Eron had prepared for her and began to snore loudly, digesting the power of the Magic Crystals.
Two weeks later, the entire Rose Town was brand new!
At the same time, a flat passage paved with stones emerged throughout the small town.
And with it came Eron's system prompt.
