In the next few days.

Lynn arranged the classrooms that several scholars needed to use properly.

And informed Kuisi to arrange the townsmen in batches to go to the school to learn literacy with the scholars.

Everything in the territory was accounted for.

Lynn, riding Mo Ying, led Red and other guards, a group of dozens of people left the town.

Amidst the gazes of the townsmen seeing them off, they headed towards the Primordial Forest on the left side of the town.

Whether it was the forging of armor plates in the blacksmith workshop, the weaving in the textile workshop, or the development of the three major mineral veins, all were proceeding in an orderly manner.

Even if there was a need to expand the scale and improve efficiency.

It would have to wait for the townsmen in the fields to complete this year's spring plowing and planting, and a massive release of labor before it could be done.

Rather than waiting in the town, he might as well take the guards into the depths of the forest for another exploration.

Lynn's goal is simple.

While improving the [Hunting] skills through hunting, find some special minerals.

For example, borax mines used to reduce the thermal expansion coefficient of glass.

For example, saltpeter and sulfur used to make gunpowder.

If gold and silver mines can be found, then smelt them to make gold and silver.

Make the already gradually enriching territory even more prosperous.

It would be even better if magic ore could be found.

With magic ore, he could completely exchange various special blueprints from the [Special Building Library] using Energy Stones.

Then add magic ore to build various special buildings!

He could then use the special buildings to breed mutant wild boars and wild wolves, creating his long-desired troops similar to [Wild Boar Knights]!

Of course.

They have just set off from the town, and these are merely Lynn's expectations.

The warhorses galloped through large open fields of sprouting wheat seedlings on the lime road, heading towards the forest edge ahead.

They raced to the open-pit iron mine, where Lynn asked everyone to stop.

The lime road was only repaired up to here, and beyond that, it was a forest full of ancient trees.

Even though the performance of the warhorses was very good, running in the Primordial Forest was still inconvenient.

Instead of damaging the already few warhorses, it was better to leave them at the open-pit iron mine.

After the warhorses were arranged.

Lynn and his group headed on foot into the forest.

Even though it was already April, the chill in the depths of the forest was still present.

Lynn felt that the temperature should be around ten degrees Celsius.

This was the daytime temperature, it should be even lower at night.

However.

Lynn didn't care much.

Before coming, he had already made plans.

He had the guards prepare thick clothing to resist the night's cold, and brought linen tents that could be set up as camps.

They also brought a special chef to cook food for them.

They even brought hundreds of pounds of high-purity alcohol!

A sip of the hot gin, perfect for warming up.

Whistle~ Whistle~

As time went by.

Lynn and the group continued to delve deeper into the forest.

Sounds of sharp, mournful cries of birds and beasts echoed in their ears.

Lynn, holding a longbow, followed behind several pathfinding guards.

His gaze constantly scanning the surroundings, no movement escaped his keen eyes.

After walking in the forest for over an hour.

Apart from some squirrels and small birds, Lynn and the group did not see any prey!

Lynn could only assume that it was shortly after the beginning of spring, and the hibernating beasts hadn't started foraging yet...

Until dusk.

Just when Lynn was about to arrange for the guards to find a spot and set up camp.

A pathfinding guard quietly came up to Lynn.

The guard whispered, "Master, there's an adult brown bear ahead!"

Lynn's eyebrows raised slightly.

Without a word, he gripped the longbow tightly in his hand and stepped forward.

Red and a dozen other guards also gripped their iron spear longswords tightly, following Lynn.

Led by the pathfinding guard, Lynn stood behind a fallen dead tree.

In his line of sight.

A stout brown bear, its body covered in brown-gray fur, was crawling on a ground covered in fallen leaves.

Its head was large and round, with its snout protruding, stained with scarlet blood!

Evidently.

In recent days, this brown bear had been feeding!

Lynn did not hesitate, his arm moved to slowly raise the longbow in his left hand.

He took a triangular armor-piercing arrow from Red with his right hand and set it on the bowstring.

With precision, he drew the bow, the linen bowstring instantly reaching a full bow.

A slight humming sound was produced!

The brown bear, which was walking, seemed to hear the sound of the bowstring.

It suddenly turned around and looked towards where Lynn and the group were.

Roar~

Upon discovering Lynn and the group, the brown bear let out a roar.

Without any hesitation, it charged towards Lynn.

In the moment the brown bear turned.

Lynn released his right hand fingers, and under the draw weight of the bowstring, the triangular armor-piercing arrow shot out instantly.

Whizz!

A mere thirty meters away.

Under the full force of the longbow, the triangular armor-piercing arrow penetrated into the brown bear's body instantly.

Roar!

A roar of pain erupted from the brown bear's mouth once again.

It bared its teeth, face twisted with fury, running even faster towards Lynn and the group!
