Luo De bent down to lift Fernie onto the chair, helping her bypass the complicated process.

"Thank you, Lord."

Fernie nodded obediently and saluted, then stuffed a sugar stick into her mouth and concentrated on her copying.

Meanwhile, Luo De looked up at Avril,

"Don't you think the manor is getting a bit small?"

Avril nodded, "There are more and more people."

She glanced at the busy four wizard apprentices, "They all need their own rooms, especially for meditation."

"Hmm."

Luo De nodded slightly.

Even without building a castle, a true Lord Manor is more complex than it is now.

The manor's main residence, council hall (manor court), study secret room, workspace, kitchen and storage rooms, and the residences for vassals, etc.

In comparison, the current manor of Luo De could only be considered a large courtyard, lacking many functional rooms.

"We'll plan it out in the coming days, and after the spring plowing, the manor will also be expanded."

...

...

Luo De did not chat idly with Avril; after receiving the recipe, he returned to the hall.

Luna just came by to assist Luo De with potion making, so Luo De handed the recipe to Luna,

"Collect more of these herbs, this potion is beneficial to all of us."

Anyone who needs to learn can use the Guiding Potion, including Avril and other low-level wizard apprentices.

Luna didn't ask much, nodding repeatedly, "No problem, it's just the tears of this Magical Beast..."

"Leave that to me."

Luo De offered proactively.

At that moment, Kael rushed back, panting heavily,

"Master, I've clarified it, those Mountain Cat People are skilled in leatherworking and herb collecting."

"Oh?"

Luo De's eyes lit up, exchanged a glance with Luna, who also looked pleasantly surprised.

Handling leather is a common skill among the alien races; they live by hunting, which is a basic survival skill.

Not many are good at collecting herbs, as it involves a lot of herbal knowledge.

Currently, the territory lacks people to care for herbs, if the Mountain Cat People are truly skilled with herbs, it indeed would be a treasure found.

"Have them send someone over tomorrow morning, I need to understand how exactly they excel in this."

Luo De waved his hand at Kael, "Alright, you've been busy all day, go rest."

"Yes, my lord."

Kael saluted and stepped back.

Luo De then brought Luna into the studio to continue working on the Giant Wolf Mutation Potion.

...

...

Perhaps Vika had made a deliberate reminder.

Nessa took Luo De's words very seriously.

The next morning, just as dawn broke.

Leia helped Luo De dress, and a Guard came to report.

"Lord, Kael is here, and he brought a Mountain Cat Person named Nessa."

Kael could come and go freely in the manor.

But he couldn't enter with an outsider without permission.

"Hmm, let them go to the dining room."

Luo De turned to Leia and gave some instructions, asking her mother Martha to prepare two extra breakfasts.

Since they came, naturally Luo De wouldn't let them talk on empty stomachs.

Luo De didn't like talking during meals, focusing seriously on the sandwich in front of him.

Having had enough of dry bread and vegetable soup, Luo De later taught Martha to use three slices of bread to sandwich fried egg and roasted meat, with some blanched wild vegetables inside.

Kael had dined with Luo De several times and was not the least bit shy, not only finishing everything but also asking Leia for an extra carrot.

However, Nessa was very reserved, eating carefully and occasionally watching Luo De's expressions.

When Luo De put down his utensils, Nessa immediately stopped eating as well.

Luo De had no choice but to instruct Leia to pack the food, so she could take it when she left.

——Frost Leaf Town wasn't affluent enough to waste food yet.

After breakfast, Luo De gained a comprehensive understanding of the "skilled herb collecting" as claimed by the Mountain Cat People through Nessa.

The surprising thing was, Nessa's knowledge of herbs was very extensive.

She was knowledgeable about the growth cycle, environment, preferences, and effects of herbs.

Like Luna, Nessa had even planted a small patch of herbs herself.

This herbal knowledge all came from the heritage of their Mountain Cat People ancestors.

Mountain Cat People loved to wander and traverse forests, blocking them in many corners.

Their sense of smell was exceptionally keen, with strong perception, allowing them to discover many wild grasses with special scents.

The Mountain Cat People ancestors used to gather these wild herbs, originally using them as condiments in their food.

Later discovered that many wild herbs had special effects, like empowering people or hastening the recovery of wounded patients.

Of course, during this process, some Mountain Cat People were poisoned, even fatally.

Then, the Mountain Cat People ancestors realized that not all wild herbs were beneficial to the body.

Gradually, Mountain Cat women began experimenting using birds and squirrels.

Countless years passed, and the Mountain Cat People became increasingly familiar with herbs.

During this process, however, there are some knowledge gaps.

For instance, the Mountain Cat ancestors had already touched upon the realm of Magic Potions.

But now, only legends remain among the Silver Claw Tribe.

This news made Luo De very happy, and he immediately called over Luna as well.

The herb garden needed manpower, and these Mountain Cat herbalists were a perfect fit.

Luo De immediately entrusted Nessa to Luna, asking them to select suitable herbalists from the Mountain Cat People.

However, they would also need to find a Snow Rabbit Person to act as a translator.

Kael couldn't stay long as he had to return to Razor Plain.

After entrusting the Mountain Cat issue to Nessa, Luo De went to the Blacksmith Shop.

Bain, after a good night's sleep, was in high spirits, having completely recovered.

Notably, Flame Tempering seemed to engrave an array within the Yak People bodies.

This Talent Ability allowed the Yak People to operate Blazing Energy, but it could only supply this Talent Spell.
