The mountains are not very steep, but their appearance is somewhat peculiar.

The further up the mountain you go, the more granite you see. Many of them are even directly exposed without any soil or vegetation covering them.

At the top of the mountain, there is a bare stone forest.

After seeing this mountain, Ronin thought of making this place Carlos's lair.

That day he came to the foot of Yashi Mountain and called upon the dragon through the contract for the first time.

The connection between souls was very magical. Although Roning didn't know how far the man and the dragon were apart, he could feel that as he called, Carlos was approaching him at a very fast speed.

Soon, a black dot appeared on the horizon and expanded at an extremely fast speed. Within a few breaths, a huge figure arrived in the near sky.

Before it landed, the Cloud-Stepping Horse sensed the breath and let out an uneasy neigh.

With the blood of a third-level magical beast and having undergone training, such a warhorse would generally not panic unless it could not help itself.

Even the Cloud-Treading Horse is in such a state, not to mention Tom's mount next to it.

The ordinary warhorse seemed to be trembling all over, and raised its front hooves nervously, wanting to leave. If Tom hadn't held the reins tightly and comforted it, it would probably have run away.

Whoosh~ Carlos folded his wings and dived down, creating a gust of wind and slowly landed in front of Ronin.

"Master, you called me!"

Its voice seemed much more cheerful than before, and it looked like it had been having a happier time recently.

In fact, Carlos has figured it out in the past half month.

Following the master in front of you will not only give you full freedom, but also allow you to get great help from him in improving your strength.

Especially the latter, this ability to instantly enhance its strength and save it decades of training time is really incredible.

By recognizing Roning as its master, it will not only not suffer any loss, but will gain great benefits.

"I haven't seen you for half a month. You seem to have grown a little bit?"

Roning said with a smile.

In addition to its large size, Ronin also noticed that the opponent's level progress had increased by 3 points, and now it was (3/12500).

At this rate, it will become a level seven monster in more than a hundred years.

Um……

All I can say is that although the dragon is powerful, the process of becoming stronger is a bit slow.

Carlos looked back at his body and felt that it had grown a little bigger.

"Maybe I've been eating too well recently, so I made up for the nutrition I lacked during that period."

A dragon that is over two hundred years old would normally be much larger than it is now.

"I won't go into too much small talk. I called you here today mainly for two reasons."

Luo Ning pointed to the mountain ahead and said, "I plan to use this place as your lair. You can come back and stay here for a few days when you have time. This will prevent the nearby monsters from easily setting foot in a town inhabited by humans."

Carlos looked at the mountain. He was not opposed to settling here. On the contrary, he preferred the open-air environment, which made him feel comfortable and free.

"Don't worry, Master. With me here, the monsters won't dare to come near."

Carlos swore, "After we parted that day, I ate a large black bear here. The smell it gave off was enough to make the nearby monsters flee."

Not to mention its dragon power, just talking about strength, a level six dragon is enough to make many monsters retreat.

Other magical beasts knew that there was a giant dragon living here, so they naturally didn't dare to approach easily.

After saying this, Ronin asked Carlos to take him around the swamp.

This was something he had wanted to do since he got Swamp Town, but unfortunately the conditions were not there at the time.

The vast swamp is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also dangerous to travel on foot. Even if you ride a horse, there are no established roads and the environment in the swamp can easily cause horse hooves to rot.

Now that Carlos's physical strength has almost recovered, riding it for a spin is not only convenient but also fast.

This time, when Roning patrolled the swamp, in addition to wanting to get a general idea of ​​the scope of the swamp, he also wanted to find something he wanted.

The giant dragon roared, and in the blink of an eye it carried Roning into the sky.

On the ground, Tom, who was leading the Cloud-Stepping Horse, was a little absent-minded.

Back then, with his strength, he could still fight with the Lord, but now he would be knocked down if Carlos sneezed.

Now, Roning has become the object of admiration of all the extraordinary people and magicians in Wubei Territory.

After descending a little, Roning saw that near the town, many residents were bending over to mine manure from the swamp, while at the same time tidying up the swamp and reclaiming new arable land.

Developing swamps is a bit more dangerous than reclaiming wasteland in the mountains.

Even though these swamps had been treated with magic by Ronin, there were still risks. At the very least, one could get injured, or at worst, one could get stuck in the quagmire or be bitten by a snake and lose his life. These things had happened.

But the people need to work and survive, so they have to go ahead even if they are worried about their safety.

What's more, after dinner, villagers from several villages would compare themselves with each other. If they fell far behind, they would even be ridiculed. As a result, they would work even harder.

Fortunately, the new lord is not as stingy as Lei Sen. Although the work they do is hard, as long as they work hard, they will receive food subsidies, so having enough food and drink is not a problem.

For Luo Ning, he wanted to lead the people to do their work well and minimize accidents.

To this end, he also convened Wilson, Serin and several village heads and group leaders to discuss and formulate some safety plans.

For example, if someone is stuck in a quagmire, the methods and steps for rescue, as well as the long poles, hemp ropes and other rescue materials that need to be prepared when starting the work;

For example, if you are bitten by a poisonous snake, how should you deal with it to prevent the spread of the poison?

In addition, Elrond also taught them some knowledge about detoxifying plants, asking them to pay more attention when they started working.

The dragon flew quickly and soon left the town and came to an area where few people went.

Compared with the terrain near Swamp Town, the environment here is more primitive and rugged, and the sky is high and vast.

Long and thin rivers began to appear on the vast land, crisscrossing each other and connecting the numerous lakes of all sizes, forming a magnificent natural picture.

While overlooking the beautiful scenery, Ronin knew the value of this land.

If they were all developed, given the fertility of the soil here, this would become a huge granary in Wubei Territory.

"Descend a little bit and slow down a bit."

"Good Master."

Carlos' flying ability is extraordinary. He can maintain a low-altitude gliding posture just by spreading his wings without flapping.

At a distance of fifty or sixty meters above the ground, Roning could see the situation below clearly.

Rice seedlings are the plants that Luo Ning wants to find this time.

The main crops in this world are barley and wheat, and Luo Ning has never heard of a crop called rice.

I don’t know whether there is no such crop as rice here, or whether there is such a crop but the cultivation level here is low and this food crop cannot be developed.

The reason why Roning had such an idea was mainly because the swamp was rich in species resources.

There are many birds living here, and they bring a variety of seeds, as well as many types of plants. In addition, the environment here is also very suitable for growing rice.

If he really discovered wild rice, it would be of great help to the development of Swamp Town.

After all, growing wheat requires relatively dry soil and high drainage requirements, which increases the difficulty of land reclamation for the subjects.

In contrast, rice prefers an environment with abundant moisture and loose soil, which greatly reduces the difficulty of reclaiming swamp land.

The yield of rice grown here will definitely be higher than that of wheat.

Although wheat and rice have different tastes and nutritional values, there will always be people who like them.

What's more, having this kind of food crop with higher yield is not a bad thing for Wubeiling.

Of course, these are all hypotheticals, and everything depends on whether Roning can find wild rice.

Carlos kept flying at a low altitude, not very fast.

Ronin did see quite a few green plants, but when he let Carlos land and took a closer look, he was disappointed again and again. These green plants were just weeds.

But he knew that the more this happened, the more patience he needed.

It is only the middle of May now. Even if there are wild rice here, they are still in the seedling stage and their height is not much different from weeds, so they need to be observed carefully.

Carlos was a little confused and didn't understand why his master was so interested in weeds. Compared to plants, he was more interested in meat.

It looked at the pool of water nearby, and its intuition told it that there was a big fish underneath, but it was not hungry at the moment.

Ronin walked along the wetland for some distance and didn't see what he wanted, so he jumped onto the dragon's back.

"Let's go and try another place." (End of this chapter)
