Chapter 696: Chapter 60: Orchard Development and Crafting the Territory’s First Treasure

"Dean Oliver has a grand plan?" Su Li was genuinely surprised upon hearing Ms. Eludrin’s words.

He hadn’t heard about Dean Oliver reporting any major investment projects. To be honest, the territory’s finances are not very abundant. The over twenty thousand golden crowns Su Li brought back from Marle Castle were mostly spent on military expenses and the artisans’ production, leaving very little left.

Currently, all financial expenditures of the territory are avoiding any thrilling grand plans. As long as everything remains stable until this harvest season and then earns a big profit at the tournament, only then can the territory’s finances be guaranteed to stabilize and gradually reverse the financial deficit.

So it’s impossible for Dean Oliver to have any costly grand plans. What is his major project then?

Eludrin carefully recalled: "As people get older, they can’t remember many things clearly. I remember Dean Oliver said a few days ago when inspecting this hive that he wanted to use the legendary materials, Fiery Sun Bee Wax, inside to make something?"

Fortunately, Su Li was quite patient; mainly because he wasn’t in a hurry, he could wait for her memory, and if she really couldn’t recall, he could directly send someone to ask Oliver.

Once people have more choices, they become more composed and dignified.

Without anyone urging, Eludrin slowly thought for a while and finally recalled the crucial link: "I remember now, Dean Oliver said he sensed the intense Divine Grace of the Goddess of Justice. After gathering a batch of legendary materials, he will be able to create a divine artifact!"

Virena’s divine artifact?

This Goddess of Justice and Learning, who protects bureaucrats and scholars, Su Li really hasn’t seen the products from the Virena Church.

Although the territory customarily only considers Oerstein and Hilude as chosen by gods when discussing chosen ones, the Provincial Affairs Council’s Dean Oliver is actually a chosen one, but he is chosen by the God of Bureaucrats, not as dazzling as the Divine Chosen Knights.

This new year, the territory has gained so many opportunities for development, and various sects more or less have felt the Divine Grace. So it’s only natural that Oliver, Virena’s chosen one, would sense the Divine Grace too.

However, unlike the Dawn Goddess Church and Healing Goddess Church, which can make potions upon sensing Divine Grace, and the Fiery Sun Goddess and Divine King Redema Church, which can make religious holy images, it’s unknown what the Virena Church can create?

Su Li immediately asked with concern: "What artifact is Dean Oliver planning to make?"

Eludrin shook her head: "I don’t know about that. The dean only said he needs the legendary materials, Holy Flame Light Honey and Fiery Sun Bee Propolis from here."

"Have these two materials appeared?"

"We have collected about half a pound of each."

Su Li then said to the guard beside him: "Let Dean Oliver come here. We should discuss the specialties of the Sun Bees."

With Half Griffin as mounts, the knights could swiftly return to Bauhinia Palace and bring Oliver over.

Su Li wasn’t in a hurry and continued chatting with Eludrin about production, asking: "How’s the output of the Sun Bees?"

Since the appearance of the Sun Bees, Eludrin has been taking care of them, and she possesses Perception Ability, allowing her to communicate with Sun Bees akin to family members, and immediately replied: "Since nesting in our territory, the Sun Bees have been somewhat comfortable, with plenty of flowers for them to gather and beautiful landscapes. However, their honey production is low. Up to now, we’ve harvested 20 pounds of Sun Honey, which solidifies and condenses into gold bars about a palm size."

The value of 20 pounds of gold is around 1000 golden crowns, which is indeed a considerable wealth for a Knight Clan. But for a large territory like Hesse, especially one maintaining elite infantry and cavalry of over a thousand, it’s merely a drop in the ocean.

Su Li initially had expectations for this place, even thinking before coming from Luoteng Canyon that the honey production couldn’t be less than 100 pounds? If we could earn 5000 golden crowns, that would be considerable, equivalent to the entire territory’s agricultural season yield.

However, fortunately, there are still a few legendary materials as some compensation, better than nothing.

As he adjusted his mindset to comfort himself, the little Green Tea beside him, Hilude, suddenly spoke, full of a green tea girl’s essence: "Lord, I was wondering, could the insufficient production of these Sun Bees be due to... them not being emotionally satisfied? Maybe lacking the blessings of the Fiery Sun Goddess. Anyway, I’m just asking casually, if I’m wrong, please don’t be mad at me."

Just casually guessing?

Su Li hardly believed it; her tea art was already masterful, never firing without aim.

After hearing her words, Su Li recalled that this tea art girl is not only an elf, naturally possessing {Animal Affinity}, but also gained an opportunity from a curious Beast Tamer, holding a book called "Song of the Beast Speaker," which upon complete mastery grants the ability to communicate with animals.

During the time back in the territory, she successfully tamed a Giant Shepherd Deer. She now has two mounts: a Giant Eagle for aerial shooting and a Giant Shepherd Deer that can dart through the woods.

It’s not surprising at all to Su Li if she could communicate with Sun Bees.

The knights from the Fiery Sun Church surrounding Su Li glanced around and also noticed this issue, nodding in agreement.
