Elf Lord, intelligence updated daily.

Chapter 38 October Intelligence Update
As a mid-level monster, the Steel Bear is more suitable for crafting leather armor and other protective gear.

It has few edible parts, but they are all delicious.

Not long after Loris finished the battle, she left in a carriage.

Steel Bear was left to the Knights to handle.

"Sherry, has our castle been quite busy lately? Do we need to hire any new servants?"

"Yes, the castle has been very busy lately, and the servants have had a lot more work to do."

Loren thought to himself that four servants were indeed a bit few.

"Let's hire a few more servants to reduce their workload."

He cannot truly treat his servants like cattle or horses.

If one of them collapses from exhaustion, who will greet the guests and serve the host?
Xuefu went back and had the knight post notices in town recruiting servants.

She plans to hire two more male servants and two more female servants.

For the town's residents, being a servant was considered a very good job.

As soon as the notice was posted, parents brought their children to register.

Unfortunately, they were mostly boys.

In the eyes of the residents of Sandstone, Loren is still a bully.

No one wanted to send their daughter to the castle.

Occasionally, girls are sent over, but they all have various problems.

For example, being too old or too thin.

Xuefu hires people for work, not for charity, so naturally there are requirements.

She has been busy recruiting people these past few days.

There are many male servants to choose from, but a suitable female servant has not been found.

Loren then headed to the coastal town to harvest carrot sprites.

He also plans to make a trip to Haikou to see if there are any other types of roses in the city.

Contracting spirit insects, collecting roses, cultivating crops, knight training, wizard meditation...

September passed in the blink of an eye.

October followed.

[This month's information has been updated]

[Intelligence 1]: Thanks to prior warning, Hela successfully thwarted the orc attack and escaped. She has recently become increasingly familiar with Loris and they often dine together in the coastal town.

[Intelligence 2]: A battle has broken out between the Ice Empire in the northern part of the Monster Mountain Range and the fairy race deep in the mountains. The monsters in the mountains have been affected, and more monsters will appear near Sandstone Town.

[Intelligence 3]: There is a magic ore vein in a cave in the middle of the Monster Mountain Range.

[Intelligence 4]: The Frost Lord is seriously injured. The sirens of the Elf Sea launched a surprise attack on the Frost Territory in order to seize the dragon egg. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. In a fit of rage, the Frost Lord froze a large area of ​​the sea, and the sirens were defeated.

[Intelligence 5]: The Elf Queen is on tour of the kingdom and will arrive in Sandstone Town at the beginning of this month to bring blessings to the elves.

The intelligence in October was closely related to the surrounding races and countries.

These are almost all unrelated to Loren.

Leaving aside the Ice and Snow Empire north of the mountains, Loren had never even been to the middle section of the Monster Mountain Range.

The battle between the siren and the ice dragon had nothing to do with Loren.

He was more interested in information about elves.

For example, where can you get a small Pokémon or a large Pokémon?

As for the magic ore veins in the Monster Mountain Range, we must find them!
Magic ore is a key material for crafting knight's swords.

Unlike ordinary longswords, high-quality knightly weapons can greatly enhance a knight's strength.

The magic stone mine can elevate the strength of the knight army to a whole new level!
The last piece of information was also crucial.

The Elf Queen is coming to Sandstone Town!
As a being of a higher rank than the dragon spirits, the Elf Queen's strength is unfathomable.

Her arrival will surely bring benefits to the Fairy Insects.

If the Rose Fairy Bug hasn't finished evolving by then, maybe we can ask the Queen for help.

The Queen will arrive in Sandstone in early October.

We will need to pay special attention to visitors from other places at that time.

The road between Shashi Town and Tieling Town is nearing completion.

The residential and commercial buildings in the town are almost completed.

It doesn't need to be decorated luxuriously, just livable.

Last month, Loren purchased a large quantity of clothing from Haikou City.

This way, workers can work during the winter instead of staying at home all the time.

"Loren, according to the plan, the town's food street is taking shape, and the training for the specialty food instructors is almost complete. When do you plan to have them open?" Xuefu asked. The food on the food street is generally expensive, and the town's residents can't afford it.

You definitely won't make money opening a store now.

"It's okay to lose some money, let them get the store up and running first."

If the price is too high, then offer a discount and provide sufficient subsidies.

"Food vouchers will be issued to the knights and servants of the castle, as well as the workers in the town. Each person can receive one voucher per month, which can be used to eat for free at the food street."

The food street offers a wide variety of goods.

Braised snacks, spicy mixed vegetables, hot pot, grilled meat and fish, meat patties, cold side dishes, cold shredded radish salad, home-style stir-fries...

It is characterized by heavy oil and spice.

These are undoubtedly a rare delicacy for ordinary residents who rarely come into contact with meat.

Merchants and knights who occasionally pass through Sandstone Town can contribute a little to the consumption.

In addition, Loris sent twenty apprentice knights from the coastal town.

They also have money, so they can go shopping and eat in town.

Once the reputation of the food street spreads, it will gradually attract some wealthy people to visit Shashi Town, and even settle down there.

Because the main consumers are nobles, merchants, and the wealthy.

Therefore, it is essential to pay close attention to food hygiene.

Workers who use vouchers to purchase food must ensure that they are clean and tidy from head to toe.

Workers who are unable to enter can queue up to exchange for a work meal.

The town of Shashi today looks nothing like it used to be, in its current state of decline.

Loren only hoped that he could make a good impression on the Elf Queen when she arrived...

"Xuefu, how is your meditation practice going lately?"

“We successfully built the model last month, and just learned Fire Arrow and Frozen Touch a couple of days ago,” Xuefu said.

"So fast?"

Loren was somewhat surprised.

Xuefu had only been practicing meditation for less than a month, yet she had already learned two kinds of witchcraft tricks.

"But I still couldn't get the hang of the other tricks."

"It seems your extraordinary talents lie in ice and fire."

According to the description in the wizard's handbook.

Only those with extraordinary talent can become wizards.

Wizards can quickly learn their own school of magic.

For example, Loren is more skilled in illusion magic.

The two headed to the training ground.

"Snowflake, try shooting me a fire arrow."

Xuefu and Loren each released a fire arrow.

Unsurprisingly, Xuefu's fire arrows were even more powerful.

When a wizard casts his own type of magic, it is more powerful than ordinary magic.

"Your wizarding talent is very strong. From now on, you should focus on your wizarding meditation training and put your knight training aside."

Loren is different from Xuefu.

He excels at illusion magic, but is not suited for combat.

However, his knightly talent is much stronger than Xuefu's.

Recently, Loren felt that his fighting spirit had become much stronger, and he would soon be able to advance to the intermediate knight level.

Xuefu has been training every day since she was a child, and only recently managed to barely advance to the intermediate knight level.

Loren reached the same level as Xuefu after only two months of cultivation.

All I can say is that talent is really crucial.

Without knightly talent, no matter how hard you try, you can never become an Earth Knight.

Without wizarding talent, one can never become a formal wizard in their lifetime.

Loren's feeling was right.

Five days later, he successfully advanced to the intermediate level.

It was on this very day that intelligence came to my mind.

The Elf Queen will appear in the Demon Flame Meadow in Sandstone Town this afternoon!
