The four village chiefs did not show their heads just now. Seeing that the new lord was so strong, they were now wandering outside the castle anxiously. Danny quickly brought them to the lord. Ivan found that the four were all strong young men, and they should be hunters in the village. "Let's talk about the refugees first. You have screened the refugees, and I can trust you. But they cannot use their original names, and they need someone to guarantee them. Each refugee needs three households to guarantee and sign or leave fingerprints. If there is a problem, they will bear the responsibility together. Can you do it?" He chose to let the refugees go. In the new territory, it was a bad debt anyway. As a lord, he did not bother to identify whether they were refugees, and other nobles could not care. "Don't worry, lord, we will do it." The four looked at each other, and the village chief of Fengchou Village took the lead, and the others also promised. "Let them get out of my territory without a guarantee." Ivan said bluntly, and he looked at his brother Paul: "Brother Paul, you urge them." "Okay, lord." Paul did not shirk responsibility. Ivan has said that he will leave in a month. He has discussed with his family about the arrangements for Sanggu Territory. The family will move from Flying Fish Harbor to Sanggu Territory. Paul will temporarily serve as the sheriff and may be responsible for taxation in the future. Lede will be responsible for training the guards to protect the territory. Biman will leave. His idea is still to join the Grand Duke's Brilliant Knights. With Ivan's identity as a baron, it will be easier for him to achieve his goal.
The only thing that has not been considered clearly is the Giant Shield Mercenary Group. Compared with the title, the mercenary group is insignificant. This is Lede's idea. He will ask the mercenaries to see who is willing to settle in Sanggu Territory, and the rest will be handed over to Dane who can calm the situation. It's just a pity to do so. After all, the mercenaries have always supported the Marichaton family, and no one has made trouble for many years. "Let's do this first. If there are other arrangements, I will post the decree directly." Ivan did not intend to make drastic changes. Any ideas would be arranged after solving the problem of Sangling. After sending away the four village chiefs, Ivan led a group of people to the front ridge of Sangling. The two mulberry ridges add up to 1,200 acres, more than twice the area of the triangle in the middle. The land in the triangle is barren. Without the two mulberry ridges in front and behind, Sanggu Territory can be said to have little value. Climbing to the top of the mountain, looking around, there are dead mulberry trees, big and small, as if they have been burned by a fire, but looking at the ground, weeds and trees are growing well. If it weren't for the frequent spontaneous cleaning of the territory, the mulberry forest would probably become a paradise for weeds and trees. Old Hank pointed to the wooden stakes left after some trees were cut down and explained: "A few years ago, it was thought to be some kind of infectious disease. Lord Bart once ordered a large number of sick mulberry trees to be cut down." Ivan nodded slightly, and he went to another place to take a closer look. He couldn't see anything from the appearance of the trees, and there were no obvious signs of ants and borers. "Are there any mulberry trees that haven't died?" "Yes, please come this way." Following Old Hank, we came to a place where mulberry trees were higher than other places. The living ones are all old mulberry trees that are more than 20 years old. The oldest one is 109 years old. The only one that is 100 years old requires four people to hug it. It is now half dead and can no longer grow mulberry leaves. These are the hard work of the Bart family. Ivan stretched out his finger and poked it casually. His finger easily pierced through the bark and sank into the trunk. It was not that his finger was hard, but that the trunk was too fragile. It didn't look like a 100-year-old tree at all. It seemed that nutrients were drained by something. 'Is it a curse? Similar to the curse of demon resentment. ' He suddenly had an idea, and then felt that it was impossible. He had never heard of cursing only mulberry trees. The trees in the Black Mist Forest on the other side were alive and well.
Could it be that some strange monster ran out of the Black Mist Forest? On the side, old Hank's pupils shrank slightly. He didn't expect that this lord was also a knight who mastered fighting spirit. He was really unfathomable. No wonder he could become a baron at such a young age. "Father, did you find anything?" "No, the tree roots died directly, there are no signs of gnawing, and there is no problem with the soil anywhere." After checking everywhere without success, Ivan asked his family to do other things and said that he would deal with the problem of Sangling. Leide and others had no objection. Unknowingly, Ivan became the one who gave orders at home. He was a little awkward at first, but Leide and others thought it was natural. This was the weight of the title, so he got used to it. It was night. This was their first night in Sanggu Territory. As the lord, Ivan had to stay in Sangling. He didn't have much time and had to solve the hidden problems in Sangling before leaving. Ivan spread a tiger skin under the century-old mulberry tree. This was given by the village chief of Fengchou Village before. He didn't believe that there would be no movement at all. The night was full of insects and beasts, interweaving into a noisy wild song. Biman approached in the dark and sat next to him: "I still can't believe it. You just became a wizard and a lord." "Yeah, I can't believe it either." Ivan found that there were many more fires in Sangling, and couldn't help asking: "Are they all asleep?" Beeman said: "You, the lord, are guarding the forest. Who can go back to sleep? Padget and Sean followed Paul to search over there. Even the four village chiefs brought people here, but no one came here to disturb you." "It seems that everyone is very enthusiastic." There are not many plants in Sangling, so Ivan doesn't have to worry about the safety of his brothers and sisters. Seeing that he didn't even bring a light, Biman asked curiously: "Is the wizard's eyesight so strong?" "You should be able to see it more clearly than the Great Knight." "I actually took the test and I don't have wizard qualifications." "It's good to practice fighting spirit." "But I can't even sense the seeds of life now." The two chatted together, and Ivan could feel Beaman's distress. Indeed, the younger brother has a prosperous career, while as the older brother, he is steady in everything. This contrast occasionally causes a strong sense of loss in my heart. Ivan patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Why are you thinking so much? You will always overcome this hurdle. Anyway, you are not in a hurry to go to the capital. Why not go back to Feiyu Port tomorrow to help me buy azure potion materials, and bring me another I need a favor from Miss Purney at the Hobsons." Biman's words made Ivan realize that the problem of the family's giant frog breathing technique also needed to be solved. He was going to find a way to upgrade the knight's breathing technique to level 4, and then start solving the hidden dangers of the giant frog breathing technique. In addition, he also has a bold idea related to the buds of spring. Hearing his request, Biman felt free to do anything. It was late at night, and Ivan gave a special order before letting the others go back to rest. Ivan continued to pay attention to the movements around him. He had extraordinary hearing and keen observation brought by his mental power. He could also detect changes in energy particles, and even under slight mental pressure, such as mosquitoes and moths. Weak creatures instinctively would not approach him.
However, he stayed there for most of the night and found no movement. However, his hands were not idle. He condensed a bud of spring every half an hour, then selected an insect he named 'Cold Water Midge' and planted it into its body. He basically gave up on the Bubble Leech. It turned out that the possibility of the Bubble Leech carrying the Spring Bud was very small. Just after planting a bud of spring into the body of the cold water midge, Ivan looked at the tree trunk in front of him and blinked several times. He seemed to have seen something strange just now. There was a moth lying on the tree and it was absorbed by the old mulberry tree like water. . Can this tree eat insects? He stood up suddenly and stepped back a long distance, staring at the century-old mulberry tree warily.
