300 Knowledge Is Everything

It was already fall. It rained continuously, and the day was a bit chilly.

The residents had gathered in front of the Dark Castle to welcome them home. They wanted to know about everything that had come to pass. Whenever Su Wan and Xu Yuan got back from their expedition, they would have some words for the residents. The residents treated this as valuable knowledge.

The residents respected Xu Yuan and Su Wan so much that they made statues of them to grace the square in front of the Dark Castle.

Su Wan dismissed the troops and quietly led Ferula into the Dark Castle through the back door. The maids and servants were surprised to see them. Su Wan assigned two people to take care of Ferula.

Xu Yuan took a nap. He needed to level up.

After a sumptuous dinner, Ferula could barely keep her eyes open. She kept yawning. However, the young centaur held onto Su Wan’s arm and was unwilling to let go.

“Mother, you won’t leave me, right?” asked Ferula.

Su Wan was conflicted. She was uneasy because the young centaur depended too much on her, but it felt good to be a mother, too.

When Ferula looked at Su Wan with a gaze of affection and faith, it tugged at Su Wan’s heart. Su Wan stroked her hair.

“Of course not,” said Su Wan. “But you need to be good and go to sleep, alright? I will take you to the plantation area tomorrow to show you around.”

Ferula’s eyes lit up. She pursed her lips and nodded. She then reluctantly followed a maid upstairs to find her room.

The Dark Enchanter, who was summoned by Xu Yuan, felt that this was very strange. “Lord Su Wan, how did Ferula become your daughter so suddenly?”

Su Wan shrugged and leaned back on her chair. “I’m not sure. The collapse of the lake must have done something to her. Ferula has lost her power, and it must have also damaged her mental state and her memories.”

The Dark Enchanter, Eve, nodded thoughtfully. “What do you want to do about that?”

“I don’t know,” said Su Wan. “There must be a way to restore her memories… but we shouldn’t rush. Ferula is in a very fragile mental state right now. I don’t think she can handle it.”

Su Wan felt that it wouldn’t be such a bad thing even if Ferula didn’t regain her memories. She could always start over.

Ferula had been a demigod, and she was controlled by the Desert Fisherman Lord. She was at least free now. It must not have been a very pleasant experience being controlled like that.

Ferula looked happy like she was reliving her childhood. How many people got the chance to be a child again?

Eve nodded. She didn’t say anything further. Clearly, Su Wan knew more about the current situation than she did.

“Lord Su Wan, the dwarves are already requesting to build an alchemy workshop to create alchemy bombs and other weapons. There are no blueprints right now, but Timo said he doesn’t need them.”

“What did you say?” said Su Wan.

“They needed your approval,” said Eve. She didn’t look too happy about that. “We need to prepare and obtain more resources as soon as possible. The threat of the Light-Types is imminent. The six-winged Seraphim that the Dark Demon Dragon encountered is powerful, but others are even more powerful than him. To name a few, they have the twelve-winged angels, demigods, and even gods on their side. There is also that supreme entity that forced the Dark Demon Dragon to descend to the Overlord Plane. He is now restricted from reaching his peak until he levels up.”

“It is important to build higher walls for defense as well,” said Eve. “We need more defensive fortifications, especially after introducing alchemical cannons. Those cannons will be extremely useful in defending the territory. They can deal huge damage to enemies if used properly. The artillery needs to be placed in all four directions of the territory, not only on the front. Right now, the territory’s defenses… still have room for improvements.”

Eve’s words pointed at their biggest weakness. She was right. The defense of the territory still wasn’t perfect. Dealing with powerful enemies required strong and efficient military techniques.

The core problem was that they didn’t have high and sturdy walls. With that weakness, other arrangements found no proper footing.

Su Wan nodded. She felt a headache incoming. “I am aware of the problem. I will figure out a way to solve it as soon as possible.”

Building fortified city walls required blueprints, and the only ones Su Wan found at the marketplace were for ordinary city walls.

The kind of blueprints she was looking for would cost around 300,000 units of resources. Su Wan had spent all her resources on troops recently. She had no choice but to wait and accumulate more resources.

They moved on to other tropics. “What about the winery and the food workshop? How has that been going on?”

The two young men who had been converted to heroes had taken over the two departments. Su Wan hadn’t heard any news after that.

” The research and development will take a long time, especially since it’s fairly new. I’m afraid we’ll need to wait a while longer.”

Others couldn’t interfere with the progress. Only professionals could research and develop their fields further with the help of their expertise. Trying to rush the work wouldn’t help anyone.

Su Wan knew that she couldn’t expect those two projects to reap any benefits in a short time. She nodded.

However, she was still afraid that it might take too long.

After Eve left, Shi Linglong arrived at the territory to meet her best friend. “I heard you are now a mother to a centaur daughter?” she said. “I didn’t know Xu Yuan and you could make babies of entirely different species.”

Su Wan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She knew that her friend was only teasing her, but it still felt so embarrassing.

“Ferula has gone to bed,” said Su Wan hurriedly.
