Facing Narant's sudden action, Katherine's breathing was a little rapid.

Although there was a wall behind him that could not retreat, Catherine did not make any extreme moves, but continued to lower her head. She knew that Narant was not the lustful nobleman.

Naturally, Narant is not a pervert, but he knows that if he wants to persuade Catherine, who is used to being alone and burying her thoughts in her heart, you need to be stronger than her so that she can stir her mind.

Only then can she hear what she says.

"Well, then do you know why I have this title? That's because the God of Glory will give me instructions in my dreams from time to time."

"For example, I have only been to Storm for three months and found four elves. This is the favor and guidance of the God of Glory."

"And the appearance of dark creatures, the God of Glory will also be guided!"

"Before you appeared, I had actually received guidance from the God of Glory, so the appearance of those dark creatures was not because of you! It was not because of Shirley and Vivian!"

"Is this... true?" In a slightly nervous mood, Katherine finally couldn't help but raise her head after hearing Narant's words.

She thought of the exercise venue set up by Narant outside Maye Village, and also the calmness of Narant in dealing with dark creatures at the border. When she heard such words, she couldn't help but believe it.

Of course, she also hoped that this was true, because only in this way could she convince herself to continue to stay in the castle and prevent her from being alone.

"Of course it's true. You can ask Shirley and Vivian when I lie to them!" Narant nodded in a majestic image, "Catherine, I hope you don't have to think about anything else to bring bad luck or something else next. This is my castle. If you are really the daughter of bad luck, then I care more than you!"

"So, promise me to stay in the castle and learn fighting spirit with Vivian and Shirley. In the future, you will help me deal with dark creatures and defend the Storm Corps!"

"And I will save more lucky daughters like you in the future!"

"Um!"

Finally, Catherine nodded heavily at Nalante!

...

Narant was not too busy in the next two days, because with Mario, the civil affairs officer, he didn't need to worry about many things himself.

His brick burning plan has begun in the past two days because the stonemason has built an experimental brick kiln more than two meters high at his request.

Currently, there are only dozens of bricks placed in this brick kiln each time, but for experiments, this is enough.

There is no news about inquiring about the process of firing the pots, so Nalante simply asked his subordinates to burn them randomly before talking about them.

He vaguely remembered that he had heard a saying before that the fire should not be too strong in the previous stage of burning these soil products, otherwise the temperature would rise too quickly and the bricks would crack.

So, he explained this precautions and then Mario did it.

After all, the process of burning bricks with this original kiln cannot be completed in one or two hours. Even if the furnace is small, it will probably take at least two or three days. He is not so idle in guarding the brick kiln.

Early that morning, Narant was eating breakfast and following the usual routine, listening to Mario's daily report.

But today's report contains two more important news, one is good and the other is bad.

The good news is that the first waterwheel mill in the Storm Leader whom he ordered to build was finally completed yesterday afternoon. When Narant is accepted today, the Storm Leader's people can grind wheat on their territory.

The bad news is that because of the joining of the barbarians and the arrival of Boris' team a few days ago, the food received by Storm was not enough to eat, and it could last for more than a month at most.

"Mario, how long will it take to ripen the wheat in the next quarter?"

After finally surviving the third invasion of dark creatures and encountering food problems, Nalant was speechless.

"Sir, it will take about two months to ripen wheat. However, although the wheat has risen well, there are too few ploughed people in the Storm Leadership, and the barbarians will settle down and they will not farm. Therefore, even if there is wheat tax, the food rations may still not be enough in the second half of the year."

"If the adults are not prepared to let the barbarians farm next quarter, they need to prepare in advance and go to other territories to purchase grain when the harvest is good."

"The price of grain would not become more expensive at that time, and it would be easier to purchase grain!"

I have to say that Mario is a qualified and excellent civil affairs official. Not only did he think about the current situation, but he also had long-term plans and even thought about the food problems he might encounter in the next quarter.

"This problem needs to be solved!" Narant also felt troublesome after hearing this. The food crops in this world are relatively single, that is wheat.

Although there are still bananas and fruit foods in some places, they are not mainstream foods after all.

Due to the low wheat yield, most territories are not willing to sell food, and often they may not be able to buy it if they have money.

The number of people in Narant's territory is too small, which is more difficult than other territories. The food cultivated by several serfs cannot raise too many "idle people".

Now that these barbarians who cannot farm, the problem immediately becomes prominent.

However, the physical qualities of barbarians are used as materials for being guards or for construction, so they naturally cannot be used to farm.

"I will go there in two days and I will send someone to the Heiyan Corps to ask. If there is any surplus grain on their side, I will buy it. As for the food in the next quarter, you will remind me again when the harvest is good!"

Narant had no other way for the time being, so he could only buy it for money.

"Yes, sir! The acceptance of that mill..."

"I'll go after I'll feed the squirt lizards later. You let the craftsmen wait there for a while now!"

Next, Mario quit the restaurant after reporting.

"It would be great if there were potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and so on in this world, and these crops were also highly productive!"

"It seems that another day we have to first calculate the situation in the sea. The sea can actually share some food needs!"

"As for other methods, it is a bit difficult to increase the number of serfs in the territory. There was no war in the Principality in the first half of the year, so it is difficult to buy slaves. There are no bankrupt free people in the Storm Corps who are willing to come to be serfs!"

Taking money to buy food is just a temporary measure. If Storm Leader wants to truly grow, food must be self-sufficient.

Otherwise, if the food is in the hands of others in an emergency, it will easily cause people to get stuck.

...

Outside the Black Rock Corsair Castle.

"Huh, I'm finally back! This time I'm so lucky... so exciting!" When I came to my castle, Boris was still a little impressed by this thrilling experience.

Especially the carriage behind him was equipped with two catapults, which meant that he would be a nobleman who would be on par with those counts in the future. He would be extremely proud to say it.

"Sir, you are finally back. Sir Bello from Barley Valley visited Baron Castle yesterday and has been waiting for you in the castle!"

"Belo, he came to me and didn't say anything in advance!"

"Haha, Boris, with our relationship, you must not be so polite to come here. It's so troublesome to send a visit post!" At this moment, a young man who was about the same age as Boris walked out of the gate of the inner castle.

"That's right, but if you send someone to ask in advance, you won't have to wait for me in the castle for a day!"

Boris didn't care about Bello's random statements, because Bello had a very good relationship with him, and the two were not only friends, but also classmates.

Although Bello is a jazz, his father is one of the few viscounts in Tulip Corner.

"When it comes to this, I'm very curious, Boris, where did you go? Your butler told me that you went to the Storm Leader that place of doom. I think your butler must be joking with me!"
Chapter completed!
