"This plant is called purple cane by us. They are crops grown by forest humans and horses. The juice is sweet and delicious. Unfortunately, there are too many residues. We humans cannot eat this crop at all, unless we can have a strong mouth like centaurs.

Teeth and three stomachs." Edwin spit out the remaining chewed residue in his mouth onto the ground.

Victor looked at the cut purple cane in his hand, savoring the sweet taste in his mouth, and felt excited. This crop is clearly the sugar cane of this world!

Of course, it is somewhat different from sugar cane on earth. There are no knots on the surface of purple cane. Compared with sweet sugar cane, purple cane tastes slightly lighter and has a unique fragrance, but its

There are much more residues than sugar cane, and it can even sting your tongue when you chew it in your mouth.

"Why haven't I seen this kind of crop in other places in the Centaur Hills? For example, I can't see it in the Black Castle or the territory of Baron Eskeri." Victor threw away the purple cane in his hand, and the residue of this crop appeared again.

It was too many and rough, and he no longer wanted to try it again.

"Of course it was cut down. Foresters and horses have planted these things all over the fertile land in the hills. Unless they are plowed out, farmers can't plant crops. In fact, after several years of development, the original appearance of the hills has changed.

It has been completely destroyed a long time ago. Only in your territory can you still see the original style of the Centaur Hills." Edwin said with a smile.

In the past few years, due to other research, old scholars did not participate in the exploration of the Centaur Hills. Now if they want to see the traces of civilization left by the forest Centaurs, they can only go to Victor's territory.

This also shows that the territory Sylvia replaced for Victor was clearly an undeveloped wasteland! However, he had no more choices at the time. Thinking of this, Victor was a little depressed.

But seeing the acres of purple cane forests here, he couldn't help but get excited.

There is no sucrose in this world, and people generally use wild honey. Unfortunately, honey is rare and precious, and even the needs of the human aristocracy cannot be met. If Victor can use purple cane to develop sucrose, it will allow him to

Acquire very great wealth.

"Purple cane tastes sweet, although there is too much residue. But if it is just used to squeeze juice, it should still be a good drink, right?"

"It is true that some people use purple cane to squeeze juice. Unfortunately, the nobles generally believe that forest centaurs are a type of centaur and a lowly orc, and the food of orcs can only be eaten by commoners. Therefore, under the orders of the lords everywhere, purple cane

It has been cut down completely." The old scholar shrugged disapprovingly.

This is both good news and bad news. On the one hand, no one has realized the value of purple cane. On the other hand, it may not be easy for the human aristocracy to accept the cane sugar made from purple cane.

There was a noise from the crowd in front. Victor and Edwin walked forward and saw people surrounding a giant net, and a huge strange bird was captured in the net.

The strange bird is huge, comparable to an adult horse. It has a huge and sharp beak, the dark green feathers on its body are shining, and its strong and sharp claws are desperately scratching on the ground, trying to tear apart the giant net on its body.

It's a pity that this net is both tough and can't withstand stress. So now it can only lie on the ground and scream "Ang, Ang" in vain.

Seeing their lord and Master Edwin approaching, the onlookers all made way for them.

"What is this?" Victor asked curiously, looking at this strange bird that looked like a mixture of a velociraptor and a rooster.

"Sir, we don't know either. Some territorial residents wanted to capture a few ground lizards to improve their food. They found this guy in the purple cane forest, and then I led people to catch it."

A war bear mercenary explained to Victor.

"This is the Swift Bird, a large chocobo unique to Centaur Hills. This bird is strong and powerful and good at running. Their speed is even faster than war horses. They feed on purple cane leaves and other plants, and some

Sometimes it will also prey on ground lizards and frogs. The swift bird is very strong and can easily break a person's ribs, and its sharp beak can also easily peck through leather armor. You should be lucky that when you catch it,

No one was hurt."

Edwin looked at the strange bird struggling in the giant net with surprise, and continued: "The speedbirds have a huge appetite. When there is not enough food, they start to eat the crops planted by farmers, and their meat is tender and delicious.

Many lords of the Centaur Hills ordered these birds to be hunted. Now, this giant bird can no longer be seen in other places in the Centaur Hills. How lucky! I thought I would never taste this delicious food in my life. Unexpectedly

, I caught a live one as soon as I arrived in your territory."

Hearing the old scholar's last words, Victor couldn't help but staggered.

Sure enough, there is no concept of environmental protection in the world of foodies.

At the same time, in the royal capital of Wimbledon, Lord Abel was reporting to a graceful lady what he had seen and heard in the Black Castle through a curtain made of gauze.

"Sir, I think we should immediately petition the Senate to request a stay of impeachment against Victor. At the same time, we should send knights to the Black Castle to stabilize the situation there." Abel said respectfully to the figure behind Qingsha.

.

"It's too late, Abel. Just the day before you came back, the Senate had obtained the territory exchange document signed by Victor. The York family exchanged a piece of land in the south of the hills with Victor's territory.

"A sweet voice like a clear spring came from behind the veil.

"How could this happen?! Before I left, I specifically told Victor not to act rashly. How could he sign such a document?" This sudden situation made Abel shocked.

"This is not surprising. Since she has decided to attack us, she will not leave any loopholes. Even if Victor does not sign the replacement agreement, we have no chance of winning in the Senate debate. You may not know it yet, but

Three days ago, Charles Viscount, the first heir to the throne of Archduke Williams, got engaged to the granddaughter of Marquis Greyward, the deputy speaker of the Senate. Now we are completely at a disadvantage in the Senate seats, so no matter whether Victor signs or not

Signing an agreement will not change the fact that the York family will reintegrate their territory."

"I didn't expect the Earl of York's methods to be so sophisticated." After listening to the woman's explanation, Abel was a little lost. He claimed to be a shrewd and strategic man, but he didn't expect that his strategies were insignificant compared to the methods of the great nobles.

"Hmph! That fat pig in York is not worth mentioning. I am talking about his wife Sylvia." An incredibly beautiful woman opened the gauze curtain and walked out gracefully.

.

This woman looks about 27 or 8 years old, mature and intellectual, but if you take a closer look, you will feel that she is an innocent girl who is less than 20 years old. She is wearing a white waist dress,

The style of the long skirt is simple and simple, but the design is extremely fit, which vividly outlines the woman's slender figure and graceful curves, and reveals a touch of sexiness in her elegance. Her skin is white, her facial features are exquisite, her manners are elegant and dignified, and she has long, gorgeous purple hair.

Her hair and charming amethyst-like eyes add to her mystery and enchantment.

Youth and maturity, elegance and sexiness, dignity and coquettishness are all perfectly interpreted in this woman, giving her a strange charm. She is Victor's nominal wife, Sophia Wimble

Marquess of Tonton.

Seemingly captured by the hostess's bright face, Lord Abel quickly bowed his head to the Marquise.

"Are you wondering why I didn't send a knight to follow Victor to Centaur Hills?" Sophia seemed to see through the confusion and dissatisfaction in the heart of this right-hand man.

Indeed, if Sophia had sent two knights to Victor, it would have been enough to ensure Victor's safety, and nothing would have happened later.

"I have some friendship with Sylvia. To be honest, although I have different positions with her, I don't want to offend her. Not sending knights to Centaur Hills is exactly the message I conveyed to her. I know,

With Sylvia's character, she would definitely take tough measures when faced with the prince's party's intrusion, but I didn't expect that this slut would attack us first, regardless of her past friendship!" Such a ruthless approach by a former best friend,

Sophia's heart also ignited with raging anger.

"What about Victor?" Facing the furious Marquise, Lord Abel asked bravely.

Regardless of whether the York family can complete the integration of the territory, Victor personally signing the replacement agreement is a betrayal of the family and makes the prince's party's layout in the hills fail. This behavior must be punished.

Even if they are in the same camp, they cannot be monolithic. Sophia has always been known for her beauty and wealth in the royal capital. She has four chambers of commerce under her name that make huge profits for her every year. In the process, she will naturally offend people including those in the prince's party.

Some families, it is conceivable that these families will use this incident of Victor's betrayal to blame Sophia.

"I understand what you mean. Although we may receive some criticism, this is not necessarily a bad thing for us. Her Majesty Catherine has always been suspicious of my relationship with Sylvia. This conflict will definitely make

She is completely assured of us. After all, we have lost half a million gold soles. As for Victor...his cowardice and cowardice disappoint me. From now on, I will cut off all support for him. Sylvia that

The slut will make him understand what regret is!" When mentioning Victor, Sophia's eyes showed a hint of intolerance, but it was replaced by indifference in the blink of an eye.

Just when Abel was still about to say something, a maid came over, curtsied to Sophia and said: "Your Majesty, Marquis, at your invitation, Your Excellency Andre is already waiting in the reception room."

"Has Andre arrived already?! Lucy, come and check for me, is there anything wrong with my hair?!" Sophia said in surprise when she heard that the guests she invited had arrived.

Two pink roses bloomed on her fair and jade-like face, and her bright eyes curved into two crescent moons. Just a moment ago, she was a strong woman with beautiful breasts, and in the blink of an eye, she turned into a young girl with affectionate eyebrows.

Abel stood aside, and Sophia walked into the room with her maid.

Andre is a golden knight from the Eastern United Kingdom of Borui. He is not only powerful but also young and handsome, as dazzling as the sun. He has only been in the capital of Cambis for half a year, and his elegant demeanor and noble blood have already received countless praises.

Although he is favored by noble ladies, he always keeps himself clean and there are no scandals. This fascinates many women, including Marquise Sophia.

This is probably the reason why Victor was kicked out of the royal capital by you, Abel thought to himself.

In fact, except for little Victor himself, the entire aristocratic circle in the royal capital is spreading rumors that Sophia sent the unsightly Victor to the distant Centaur Hills in order to pursue the Golden Knight Andre.

Victor has no money and no one in Centaur Hills, and the York family has replaced his barony with wasteland. Now the family will completely cut off support for him. Abel simply cannot imagine the situation Victor will face in the future.

.

Wish yourself the best of luck, Victor.

Abel sighed, turned around and left the Marquis Mansion.

Standing in front of the moss-covered castle, Victor's face was ashen. He already knew what regret meant!

He looked at Bruce Knight, who was looking at him intently.
