Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor

Chapter 796 - 365: The New Empire Does Not Support the Idle

...

...

Diana shook her head in confusion, clearly not understanding these matters.

Luo De was slightly helpless.

Although Lady Rose’s spies have started infiltrating the Western Alliance, Stone Ridge Principality is remote, and it’s unclear if any spies have mixed in.

The Night Language Association is integrating the intelligence organizations of the Empire’s nobility, and it’s unknown if any forces have taken notice of Stone Ridge Principality’s news.

Luo De turned his head and looked at Vivian, "Arrange for someone to investigate."

Vivian nodded in response and then lowered her head.

Without Luo De making it explicit, Vivian knew it was to inform Avril on the other side to send someone to investigate.

"I’m aware of this matter, thank you for bringing the information over."

Luo De looked at Diana and Dos and others, saying, "I’ll give you a sum of money and arrange for a place to stay, but the downfall of Stone Ridge Principality is already a fact."

"In this matter, I can’t help you." Luo De shook his head helplessly.

"It’s already our fortune that you saved us from the mouth of the flying dragon snake, we are immensely grateful."

Diana shrugged indifferently, "The rest doesn’t matter."

Dos wanted to say something more, but Diana stopped him with her hand.

Diana said to Luo De, "Dos and these soldiers are very loyal and brave warriors. If you don’t mind, they can serve you."

"Dos is also a high-level knight, someone like him would surely be needed by your side."

Diana pushed Dos forward like presenting a treasure.

"Hmm."

Luo De nodded slightly without showing too much excitement.

Luo De wouldn’t mind having more high-level knights, but wouldn’t insist too much either.

Currently, the Empire has more than one hundred and fifty high-level knights, and with the Knight Roar Potion, there will only be more in the future.

Top-level knights are still relatively rare, with only eight top-level knights at present, among whom four are aged old nobles.

Luo De looked at Diana and asked, "What about you, what do you plan to do?"

"I’m fine with anything, just find a forest or riverside with a small herbal hut."

Diana said indifferently, "Growing flowers, planting herbs, and occasionally fishing."

"The money you give should be enough to support this kind of life, right?"

Diana asked Luo De.

Luo De did not answer but waved to Dos, "Go catch some more crabs, with the soldiers, it’s easy to catch crabs at night."

Dos was taken aback, then turned to look at Diana.

Diana, sensing the meaning in Luo De’s words, nodded her head.

"Yes, Master Luo De."

Dos responded, then stood up and led the soldiers towards the coast.

"They are indeed very loyal, even when you are about to drive them away."

Luo De said casually while looking at Diana, "Let’s talk about the emerald arrow you shot."

Diana was taken aback, surprised, and said, "You saw it?"

"I have good eyesight."

Luo De said blandly.

The Legendary Knight can strengthen all parts of the body, with vision, hearing, and smell being exceptionally keen.

Other abilities also far surpass ordinary people.

"Alright, since you saw it, I won’t hide it."

Diana confessed, "I suppose I am a witch."

"What abilities do you have?" Luo De asked.

"Healing? Or communicating with plants?"

Diana thought and said, "I can feel the emotions of plants, and also find the herbs I want nearby through them."

"I can also draw energy from them and infuse it into potions, even directly healing wounds."

Diana smiled awkwardly, "Condensing the arrow was the first time today, I don’t seem to be good at it."

"But I have a feeling that with good practice, it should be possible."

Luo De was somewhat surprised.

Originally thought Diana was just an ordinary witch.

It turned out she could communicate with plants.

Luo De couldn’t help but re-evaluate Diana.

According to what Diana said, this ability might not have much value in combat.

But in planting, it was incredibly powerful.

If she could really communicate with plants, she’d know their preferences full well.

This way, the planting strategy could be adjusted, changing the supply according to the plants’ needs.

It’s not obvious when cultivating on ordinary land.

But such an ability would be exceedingly strong when planting magic plants with stringent environmental requirements, those that might die at the slightest provocation.

Diana with this ability is practically a natural gardener of a magic plant garden.

Moreover, Diana herself has healing abilities.

However, Luo De also couldn’t just rely on her words.

He needs to see actual results to be certain.

"When witches first discover their abilities, they often feel lost."

Luo De consoled, "As you become more familiar, using them will become more adept."

"Since you like herbs, I’ll have someone set up an herbal garden for you in the suburbs."

Luo De handed a fragrant shrimp to Diana and said, "You can continue tending to those plants."

"As for Knight Dos and those soldiers."

Luo De glanced at the few on the coast, "If they wish to serve, I’ll arrange it. If they want to follow you, I won’t stop them either."

"Thank you for your generosity."

Diana stood up and bowed, "If you need anything, just let me know, and I’ll do my best to help you."

...

...

Luo De’s harvest this time was very substantial.

Two adult flying snake dragons, and three juvenile flying snake dragons.

In the future, they will all, like Frost and Thunder, grow into near-real dragon beings with the ability to breathe.

One could only imagine the terrifying scene when these giant dragons descended upon the enemy camp from the sky.
