Chapter Eighteen
His own son was involved in such a big thing as murdering the lord, but not only was Lord Lane not angry, he actually gave them such an important task.
Bart and Sobai were puzzled as to what qualities Toby and the others had that could make them worthy of being favored by the lord. They could not think of a reason to refuse. They nodded with serious eyes and said, "We will definitely complete your mission."
And they will definitely try their best to do their best.
Even Toby and Al were a little eager to try, but they had not yet resigned from the escort team, so they looked up at Ryan and asked: "Can the two of us come together?"
The work of the escort is a bit boring to them when they are young. It is far better to do something truly meaningful, which may gain Ryan's attention more.
In addition, this is a love fruit! Toby and Al have never heard of this fantastic plant that can produce 30 to 50 fruits from one seed in just 25 days.
Bart and Suo also looked at Ryan. It would be best to have Toby and Al to help. After all, the fewer people who know about such a hidden matter, the better.
"No, you two will continue to stay in the escort team temporarily, firstly to avoid Henry's doubts, and secondly..."
Ryan thought for a few seconds, blinked his eyes and continued: "As I told you before, I plan to get rid of some of the sneaky guys in the escort team first, and keep the truly capable people, so that their abilities can be used
Get real use, and let their efforts and returns be directly proportional."
To put it simply, Ryan wants to retain capable people and form a guard team that truly supports him.
There are too many cancers in the escort team now. Ryan wants to overthrow the reorganization. Moreover, the salary of 50 copper coins a month is really too low. Those who are capable will look down on them. When needed, they will be a mess and will not obey orders.
It would be better to have no escorts at all, just wasting his money.
Toby and Al are not stupid. They were originally a little worried about the bad reputation of being kicked out of the Guards. After thinking about it for a few seconds, they immediately realized that this was a hint given by Ryan, and their cheeks turned red with excitement.
"This is a good thing!"
Suo and Bart reached out and patted their son on the shoulder at the same time, glaring hard and saying, "Go back and train me more, so that I won't be embarrassed when the time comes."
Toby and Al took a big breath and replied loudly: "Definitely!"
They can't wait now.
Behind the castle is an unkempt forest garden, where many beautiful wild flowers that cannot be named grow. Lush weeds and thorns surround the big trees, but unfortunately there are not many fruits on the trees.
The place where Ryan was at this time was very close to the river. Although it was a bit remote from the castle, the water flow and light were very good.
Bart and the others held simple tools in their hands and flower baskets at their feet. They pointed to the soil they had turned this morning and asked Ryan: "Should we plant these love fruit seeds tonight, or now?"
Ryan raised his head and glanced at the changed color of the sky, "Let's do it now, the sooner the better. Al and Toby happen to be here too. I'm afraid it's going to rain later."
Several people immediately started to take action, grabbing the tools and plowing the fields again. Toby and Al were also helping.
Fortunately, they had plowed the land in advance, otherwise they would have had to start weeding now.
Emily watched carefully from the side and said nothing. She was very smart and could guess that since Ryan asked her to come over, there must be something she needed to do.
The system said that these seeds had a 100% germination rate and had flower fairies, so Ryan let them skip the step of raising seedlings.
There are not many seeds in more than a hundred love fruit. Each seed is spaced at a certain distance, and everyone moves very quickly.
After Bart carefully covered the soil, he poured a little water on it. After finishing his work, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. Bart squatted on the ground and looked up at Ryan and asked: "Dear Lord, is this okay?"
Although they had farmed before, they had never planted love fruit. Although they followed Ryan's steps, they didn't know if they were doing the right thing.
"Thank you, you did a great job, and I also found a good helper for you."
Ryan smiled and praised them, and then walked towards the square Lover's Fruit Field. He ended the communication with the system in his mind. When he raised his right hand slightly, a small sunflower with only one closed petal on top appeared in his palm.
.
Several people have never seen Sunflower, and they have no idea what the helper Ryan is talking about.
"Could it be——"
Suo had some vague suspicions. Under the confused eyes of Bart and others, Ryan gently placed the mini sunflower on the ground.
As soon as the roots touched the moist soil, the sunflower seemed to be alive, walking automatically to the center of the field, facing the fresh sunshine and swaying the green leaves in the breeze. In the intertwining of the stretched petals and halo,
A flower fairy who was only as tall as Ryan's index finger, had blond hair the same color as the sunflower, and had an extremely cute appearance sat on the stamen in the middle of the sunflower.
The flower fairy has no gender and looks like a miniature elf. It rubbed its eyes with its small hands and then woke up from its sweet dream. When it stood up from the stamens, the sunflower petals bloomed with golden light.
The halo and sunlight transform into a beautiful golden mist, gently covering the soil surface.
In the mist, the newly planted love fruit seeds began to stir, and the young flower buds broke through the soil, pursuing the sunshine and growing wildly.
Bart and the others were almost frightened when they saw this wonderful scene. They didn't know the existence of the system, and they couldn't see what the system did. They only knew that Ryan easily opened the space as soon as he raised his hand and invited a person.
Petite creatures never seen before.
Before coming out, the system had already communicated everything with the Sunflower Fairy.
The sunflower flower fairy released the light mist that can nourish the growth of plants, then plucked out a sunflower petal, sat on the petal and flew to Ryan in the wind. Her eyes were as green as emeralds, and she spoke softly as if singing, like sunshine.
Generally bright and warm.
"It's actually a sunflower, so cute."
Ryan exclaimed in surprise, raised his finger, and a piece of nectar wrapped in petals appeared on his fingertip.
When nectar appears, the air seems to become sweeter. The sunflower fairy flew to Ryan's eyes on the petals. With a little hand raised, the petal wrapped with sweetness rose into the wind, and the sweetness slid into the flower along the tips of the petals.
In the mouth of the goblin.
A drop of honey should make the flower fairy full. It touched its round belly with satisfaction, then blew a kiss to Ryan, ignored Bart and others, and returned to the mini sunflower stamens, recycling petals
The package renews the sweet dream.
"It's amazing."
Ryan sighed in a low voice, looking at the flower fairy who was swaying in the wind but still sleeping soundly, and asked the system: "Tell me, if I ask it to give me some melon seeds, do you think it will agree?"
There are no sunflowers in his territory. Although there are some in the store, the prices are very high.
Ryan lowered his head and calculated. If he got some melon seeds from the flower fairy, wouldn't that directly unlock the prerequisites for purchase?
Not only can it be eaten, sunflower seeds can also be used to extract oil.
Um?
He has unlocked a new way to make a fortune!
Ryan couldn't help but think to himself, he is really smart.
system:"……"
It obviously just randomly communicated with a flower fairy, so why did it happen to be a sunflower?
Even though he thought this way, the system could only reply honestly: "Then you can give it a try, this flower fairy quite likes you."
After all, no flower fairy would give a sweet kiss to a stranger the first time they meet him.
"Let's wait until it wakes up. There's no rush. Let's establish a good relationship first. There are too many and we can't handle it now."
Ryan stopped to think, and then realized that several people around him were already going crazy.
Suo pursed his lips, pointed at the sunflowers in the lover's fruit field, and nervously asked Ryan in a low voice: "Sir Ryan, if I guess correctly, that seems to be a flower fairy?"
"Yes." Ryan nodded, "A flower fairy among sunflowers, it can speed up the growth of love fruit."
After getting the exact answer, their eyes suddenly opened wider.
