Chapter 45: Barren Territory

Full of anger, Chi Nan walked back to his residence. It seemed that he could see the anger on his master's face. Although he didn't know why, the bald father and the one-legged man remained silent.

It wasn't until Chi Nan entered the room that the two of them dared to speak in a low voice: "What's going on, sir? Haven't you already become a noble? Why are you still so angry?" One Leg also felt anxious in his heart.

"What else can I do? I must be angry." The bald dad said with a natural look.

"How is it possible? Your Excellency is now a baron. Who dares to make Your Excellency angry?"

The bald father rolled his eyelids: "Of course it's the other nobles. Those nobles look down on civilians and half-elves. How can they be happy if you can become a noble when you have both."

"No way, just because of this? Will they lose their temper with adults?"

"It's not about losing their temper. They have many ways of making people vomit blood with their mouths. I saw this old man when I was young. Hey, every new noble is like this. Without family inheritance, it is really difficult."

Then the bald father smiled: "It doesn't matter if it's not enough. As long as we do well, we will be the elders of the territory in the future, and our descendants will also be able to become prominent figures in the territory."

"You still have descendants alive, don't you mean you are the only one left in your family?" One Leg was surprised.

The bald father said disdainfully: "If you don't have it now, it doesn't mean you won't have it forever."

"You are so old and you still want to have descendants, is that okay?"

"What's that look in your eyes? Why can't you do it? Are you worried that others will look down on me? Don't be joking. We will all be the elders of the territory in the future. Believe it or not, some women take the initiative to post. Also, you should also find a woman. I'll take care of you. What will you do if you are alone like this? It will be too late when you are my age."

Chi Nan didn't hear the discussion between the two people. In fact, it was somewhat similar to what they said. When Chi Nan went to the noble management office before, he was indeed made trouble for. The Noble Management Office is a place specifically responsible for the affairs of the nobles.

Therefore, the people in charge are also nobles, many of whom do not have their own territory.

These people, after knowing their identities, were very sarcastic. Of course, Chi Nan doesn't care much about these. When he was on Earth, he heard countless uglier words, so this irony is nothing.

What really annoyed Chi Nan was some records about his territory that he got from the noble management office.

My territory is called Hongsha Ridge, and the name doesn't sound like a good place. The land over there is all red land, and most of it grows nothing at all. Food is very scarce and very dangerous.

That place is backed by the Forest of Death. It is not a place suitable for adventure, because it is full of miasma and swamps, and adventurers will not go here casually. It just so happens that this is the border of the empire, and some desperate bandits often harass this place. Therefore, the place is more barren and less populated.

Moreover, the terrain here is complex and it is difficult to get in and out. Things inside cannot be transported out, and things outside cannot get in. No businessman would go to such a place. It can be said that this is a desolate place with nothing.

No wonder the original nobles only built a castle and then abandoned it. Because there are no special products in this place at all. No matter how much they pay here, it is impossible to bring them any return.

For nobles, the greatest use of territory is to provide themselves with golden dragons that can be used for squandering. A territory that cannot provide oneself with golden dragons but requires oneself to invest in it is better not to have it. Anyway, relying on the subsidies distributed by the Parliament of Nobles, those nobles can live a much better life than ordinary people.

Many nobles even relied on their status to directly start the business of merchants, and many of them were richer than those nobles with territories. Of course, if there is no territory, there is no territory. This is very important.

After learning about the situation in his territory, Chi Nan decided that he would never go unless his strength improved.

Because of the terrain, that place was not attacked by the wild orcs during this disaster. But this is also a matter of time. Who knows when the wild orcs will come over there.

Once the wild orcs are gone, even one or two wild orcs can eat up the entire Red Sand Ridge. Do you have to rely on your own strength to go head-to-head with countless wild orcs?

Therefore, he still needs to improve his strength. Only when he doesn't care about those wild beasts and can deal with those evil beast dogs, Chi Nan will plan to go to his territory.

Forget it, let’s study the plants we just got first. Chi Nan took out the mousetrap, injected it with magic power, and began to feel it.

Rattrap teeth are not very hard, after all, the thing is not that big. The mouth can secrete strong paralyzing toxins and very strong digestive juices, which can quickly digest prey.

The digested nutrients will flow down the tube into a hollow sac at the root, where they will be stored and supplied to the growth needs of the entire body. If you can eat a lot of big meat in a short period of time, your growth rate will be accelerated and you will reach adulthood quickly. However, even if there is no food, the mousetrap can still rely on the characteristics of the plant to survive.

The seeds are produced just below the flower bones. They are very small seeds that can fly in the wind.

Chi Nan nodded. This thing is still very useful to him. It is a plant that attacks actively. The light flashed in his hand, and the ability to permanently create seeds was activated. If you want to do a good experiment, you need to have enough plants.

A large number of seeds soon appeared in Chi Nan's hands. Chi Nan carefully packed them and put them in his box.

Then, Chi Nan looked at the strange fragrant flower he brought back. This flower can produce a very special smell, but the specific effect has not been tested by anyone, and Chi Nan cannot feel it by sensing the plant.

This substance acts directly on animals. The light flashed in Chi Nan's hand, and soon the leaves began to deform, and a strange fragrant flower was permanently induced to grow. A strong fragrance slowly emanated. Chi Nan did not hesitate, and quickly induced the birth. The strange fragrant flower withered, but it left a large number of seeds for Chi Nan.

In any case, this is also a valuable plant that he found. When he has time, he will slowly consider how to use it. Plants that can only be cultivated by nobles are a joke in Chi Nan's eyes.
