Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor-Chapter 575 - 286: History Repeats Itself (6K)_4

She was silent for a moment, then spoke, "Didn’t you say Madre is a bastard?"

"Would Lord Rod, being so cunning, easily trust a bastard?"

"Well..."

Silo thought for a moment and explained, "Maybe he has a special way to control Madre."

"I don’t care what kind of conspiracy this is!"

Lurice suddenly turned and walked to the table, pointing at the map on the long table covered with dense red marks, 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Seven villages have been completely destroyed now!"

"We’ve lost over five hundred villagers!"

Lurice’s voice was filled with grief and despair.

"The entire land is bleeding, and the people of the Hawk Clan are living in fear!"

"No matter who is behind this, no matter what kind of scheming plot it is!"

"I only know that Madre is one of your people!"

Lurice shouted angrily,

"You must take responsibility for this!"

"Of course, of course!"

Silo nodded repeatedly, "Rest assured, Baron, I will report everything to my master."

"She will send elite soldiers, the true elite of the Cold Blade Clan, to help you eliminate these bastard robbers!"

...

...

The northern border of Razor Plain.

The morning air was filled with the fresh scent of pine needles and wildflowers, occasionally accompanied by the crisp sound of birdsong.

Across the open grassland, sticky morning dew lingered on the tender green leaves.

The campfire had dwindled to mere flickers, as if drained by the night.

Beside it on the animal skins, three people quietly enjoyed the tranquility of dawn.

Despite being covered by a fur blanket, Avril felt the chill of the morning and instinctively snuggled closer to Luo De’s embrace,

"We’ve been out for two weeks already, shouldn’t we head back?"

Avril’s voice was soft,

"There are still so many things waiting for us to handle at the castle."

"The scenery here is beautiful, there’s no rush to go back."

Luo De smiled indulgently, looking tenderly at the beauty in his arms.

Then he held Vivian tightly in his right arm, feeling her steady warm breath,

"Look how soundly she’s sleeping."

"I, I’m still not quite used to the outdoors."

Avril shook her head slightly, turned over, curled up in the fur blanket, and gently put on her clothes,

"It’s still a bit cold up north."

"Hmm, I forgot you two can’t handle the cold, even with the resistance potion."

Luo De tried to open the sheepskin map with one hand while holding Vivian,

but the map was too big, making it quite inconvenient to handle with one hand.

Vivian, noticing the movement beside her, opened her eyes, her fair arm stretching out from under the blanket to hold down a corner of the map.

Meanwhile, Avril stretched the other side, freeing Luo De’s hands.

Once the map was fully spread out, it revealed various markings—the positions of the different resource points discovered on this expedition.

Besides the precise locations of silver mines, iron mines, stone mines, and other veins, it also detailed some precious herbs and magical beasts’ habitats.

"We’ve explored the entire eastern region already."

Luo De ran his finger across the map, his gaze falling on the upper left blank area that had yet to be explored.

"Then let’s make sure to explore all these remaining places as soon as we can."

"Hmm, I still prefer being in the bedroom."

Avril leaned down, placing a gentle kiss on Luo De’s cheek,

"Thank you, my dear, for understanding."

"It’s nothing."

Luo De gently patted Vivian on the back, "Get dressed, let’s continue on our way."

Vivian nodded, also getting dressed under the blanket like Avril.

In this, the two sisters were very similar.

Once dressed, Luo De added some dry wood to the fire, reigniting its flames.

Luo De then took out three prepared rabbits from his storage badge and placed them on a rack to roast until golden.

Afterwards, the three sat together, simply replenishing their strength before continuing their journey.

Avril held Vivian’s hand, and the two quickly became one.

Then Luo De and Avril mounted Frost Thunderbolt, beginning their exploration along the foothills of the Icefield Mountain Range.

The departure of the White Dragon’s corpse didn’t affect the Icefield Mountain Range, and at this time of year, there were still a few snowflakes drifting around the area.

This suggested that the legend of the White Dragon battling the Snow Goddess might be false, or perhaps other powerful magic items in the Icefield Mountain Range were emitting the Power of Frost.

Luo De thought to himself that if he ever had the opportunity, he should conduct a thorough search of the Icefield Mountain Range someday.

Of course, at this point, it was merely a pleasant fantasy.

It wasn’t long before Frost and Thunderbolt were soaring that Luo De discovered a silver mine in the valley.

To make the discovery of the vein more convenient and ’reasonable,’ Luo De signaled Thunderbolt and Frost to lower their altitude.

Then, using the possibility of nearby magical beasts as a reason, Luo De landed with Avril, discovering exposed metallic textures on the gray-white slopes.

Avril, already used to such occurrences, attributed everything to Milly, who was still studying in the territory.

Luo De naturally offered no explanation, concentrating a Seed of Nature and sending it into the vein.

The Seed of Nature could enhance the potential of the vein, and if there was even the slightest trace of magic power, the Seed of Nature could accelerate the vein’s mutation—toward an Extraordinary vein.

Of course, whether it could ultimately succeed in mutating, and what kind of Extraordinary vein it could become, was unpredictable.

With all the discovered veins, Luo De could only spread his efforts wide and plant the Seeds of Nature, then leave luck to Milly.

After finishing, Luo De wasted no time and continued on the journey with Avril.

Not long after Luo De left, as the snowflakes from the sky fell one by one, tiny ice-blue crystals began to appear on the exposed surface of the silver mine.

The crystals emitted faint traces of magic power, with some disappearing into the air.

Others, slowly blended into the silver mine itself.
