Start as Inherited Baroness

After a while, Sarit hurried to Simon's tent.

After saluting, he reported: "My lord! A group of bats just flew over in the east and dropped a parchment letter.

It is suspected to be a vampire of the earl level.

The letter is here."

"A vampire sent me a letter? What is it?

Bring it here for me to see." Simon was very surprised. He raised his hand and chanted a spell, releasing a spell to detect poison.

The result showed that the letter was not poisonous.

He took it with confidence, opened it and scanned it quickly, and then fell into deep thought.

"This vampire earl is interesting. You should strengthen the defense." Simon came back to his senses and ordered.

"Yes! My lord!" Sarit responded and turned to walk out of the tent.

After that, Simon read the letter again and put it in the storage column.

This vampire earl brought him some information, which was still interesting to him.

Those senior earl nobles sent people disguised as bandits to invade Sanshan Territory.

In order to achieve actual occupation.

"Why would this guy help me? It's really strange.

Humans and vampires are fighting to the death and cannot coexist."

Simon was a little puzzled and couldn't figure it out, so he had to bury his doubts in his heart.

After dinner, he lay down to sleep. His thoughts collided with each other for a while, and gradually fell asleep.

This night was quite peaceful, and no accidents happened.

The next day, they crossed the river and set off on their way home. In the afternoon, they returned to Spark Castle.

On the same day, the Falcon Mercenary Group received an order and set off with some supplies.

After Simon returned to his nest, he first asked the maids to boil a large bucket of water, took a hot bath, and then went to linger with Winis for a while.

As for the information brought by the vampire earl, he threw it behind his mind.

He was very self-aware and knew that he didn't have the strength to hold such a strategic location and couldn't manage it, so he might as well let it go.

Just retain the formal claim right first, and fight back when he has the strength, which can be regarded as a legitimate reason.

At present, let those old nobles who covet this place show their magic.

Anyway, Simon will not accept it. As long as they don't attack the Courageous Territory and the Fearless Territory, he will never say a word.

…

When there is something, it is long, and when there is nothing, it is short. Time flows like water.

The unbearable winter passed unnoticed.

During this period, it was quiet and stable. Simon's territory entered a period of rapid development. All work was carried out smoothly and various achievements followed one after another.

The brick-making and pottery-making skills of Bobby and other potters became more and more sophisticated.

The brick-making rate is now over 80%, and the pottery made is also much more exquisite.

Unfortunately, the kiln temperature is not high enough and the soil is not good enough to make porcelain.

Otherwise, this skill alone is enough to make a rich man in the kingdom.

Firing porcelain is not something that can be formed with ordinary clay. Simon remembered that in the world before crossing, special clays such as kaolin were required to successfully fire it.

If you try to use ordinary clay, you will probably only get some glass in the end.

It is a bit difficult to make money this way, and it will not be successful in a short time.

So the cash cow that Simon wants to sacrifice recently is soap with lower technical difficulty.

After a winter of storage, dozens of barrels of fat oil have been accumulated, which can make a considerable amount of soap.

And the operators are also very ready, that is, the nearly 400 female slaves who were not given to the guards.

As for the specific production steps, Simon has tried it himself in his spare time, and it took dozens of times to make a satisfactory soap.

The difficulty lies in making alkali. The simpler and easier way is to mix wood ash and water and soak it, and then extract it through a series of filtering processes.

Although Simon can't get soda ash with his skills, it is completely sufficient to make soap.

By then, he only needs to train the female slaves and he can get hundreds of free and reliable soap makers.

It's hard not to get rich.

In addition, the blacksmith apprentices arranged before have also made some achievements now, and it's no problem to make some simple farm tools and spearheads.

And Simon also divided them into groups, with dozens of people responsible for making armor plates of the same specifications.

Another dozens of people are dedicated to making other parts, and there are five or six such working groups.

In this way, although they don't master the entire process of making a set of armor, each part is combined to form a complete set of armor.

This is much faster than a high-level blacksmith making a set of iron armor by himself.

However, Simon has not found iron ore in the territory so far. This strategic resource may be controlled by others in the future, which is also quite helpless.

However, the brine pond has achieved very remarkable results.

The brine in the pond seems to be inexhaustible. They use it every day, but the water level of the pond has not dropped at all.

It seems that even if the salt well is not built, the brine provided by this pond can be boiled into salt and sold.

Simon has tasted this salt himself. It is salty enough, but with a hint of bitterness. It looks good, and the finished product is better than golden salt.

The color is between snowflake salt and golden salt, but the taste is worse than golden salt.

But compared with other low-grade salts such as sea salt, it is much stronger.

In time, this small brine pond will surely become Simon's treasure pot.

With these two sources of income, Simon was not panicked at all, and even asked Sarit to select 500 young men from the free people to join the army.

It was early spring now, and the temporary free people camp was no longer necessary.

Mad was busy moving the free people to various villages or building new villages according to the pre-arranged plan.

Most of them were settled in the Courageous Territory, about 70%.

The remaining 20% ​​were arranged in the Fearless Territory, and 10% were craftsmen who were left in the town.

Although Simon now has more than 30,000 people, it is still too scarce compared to the vast territory.

Once so many people dispersed, they were like a drop of water in the sea, and soon disappeared without a trace.

The wilderness outside the forest returned to a quiet scene. Many small animals saw the crowd leaving and ran over carefully to find food.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Simon's panel level has been continuously improved during this period, and it seems that the development of the territory can also provide him with a lot of experience.

Now it has reached level 13, and when it was upgraded from level 9 to level 10, it gained five enhancement points at once.

Simon was ecstatic at the time, realizing that every ten levels of the panel might be a node, and it could get multiple enhancement opportunities.

As for how to distribute it? After careful consideration, he added it all to Dou Qi.

This skill became level 15, allowing him to advance to the Bronze Knight.

His life span was extended to between 150 and 180 years, and he could also use Dou Qi skills, which was much stronger than the Golden Warrior.

Simon immediately felt the Dou Qi surging all over his body at that time, which gave him the illusion that he could reach the sky in one leap.

However, this state lasted for only a few minutes and then subsided.

After he regained his composure, he felt that his body had been improved in all aspects, and his reaction speed, hearing, etc. were much stronger.

But there was no significant change in his muscles.
