King of the North: My Lord's Diary Weekly Summary

"These extraordinary gadgets that defy common sense actually correspond to my current situation..."

When did becoming a lord become so easy?!

Wayne's current thoughts are not just overly shocked—imagine if he had such a command card when the frost broke out early and the bandits attacked, he could have strengthened himself, Ronald, Wright, and most of the villagers and soldiers!

At that time, with the same manpower, the same situation, and the same strength, I was able to not only avoid shrinking the battle lines but also trade space for time... and in the end, I still didn't manage to harvest all the grain.

On the contrary, he could even have the reinforced villagers frantically harvest grain within two hours while continuing his previous plan—

Ronald led one team from the southeast outpost, while he and Wright led another team from the southwest outpost, directly encircling and annihilating the bandits in their hometown!

Although this will cost you a whole reward in the settlement, you should know how much you used your brain and how many times you almost died during this crisis!

Is this still the Crystal Blue Card?!

Wayne couldn't help but look forward to the rewards that would follow—weapon cards would enhance combat power and help find resources, bloodline cards would directly transform his strength, and the ex-body reagents would also have extremely powerful superhuman combat utility!

There's still a margin for error with item cards...

"Just one of those every week, and imagine how much stronger you and your power would become!"

Even though reason tells Wayne that the appearance of the second bandit leader and the Northern Barbarian Holy Servant in his Lord's Notebook also indicates that there is no shortage of extraordinary power in this world, Wayne is still overjoyed and confident.

These are just the lowest rewards of Crystal Blue and Enchanting Purple... As long as I survive, what am I afraid of?

As for the third general reward option, Wayne would definitely not choose it at this time.

Although this reward can be considered indispensable:

Now, Wayne's concerns about his luck, such as the fact that the rarity of the settlement rewards was not entirely based on the weekly evaluation level, no longer existed.

Because with this universal option, you can combine bloodlines and similar low-level rewards—so there's no need to worry about having a full bloodline slot or not being able to draw gold!

"The props we chose this time were such a great deal!"

Wayne smacked his lips, seemingly still wanting more: "Of course, it would be better if it were gold next time..."

Excluding the third type of reward, it's quite obvious which is more useful for Wayne's current situation: the countermeasure card or the shining card – definitely the three unfreezing cards have the highest minimum value.

For Wayne right now, construction is an urgent matter—but it doesn't need to be completed in a very short time. And the most valuable aspect of the command cards—their role in warfare—is not particularly useful to Wayne.

He thought of using this card to try and resolve the crisis in the cliff cave—

However, if they are unable to eliminate the "cave dwellers" even after using the card, and there are no external enemies like bandits in their territory, then this card is temporarily useless.

As for the food problem, even if Wayne doesn't address it now, in the barren North where frost comes early, he will likely need to use up settlement opportunities to obtain food.

Since the first type of card is both irreplaceable and there are three of them, it is naturally difficult for Wayne to resist it.

……

Two hours later.

In the open space of the village's farmland, a "small mountain" made of frozen grains stands tall.

The villagers were relocated to the center of the village, where they worked while whispering amongst themselves.

They couldn't understand why such a wise and powerful baron would do such a thing—the grain was clearly beyond saving, so why bother piling it up?

Ronald leaned against a wooden pillar, arms crossed, brow furrowed slightly: "My brother told us to gather all the frozen grain together and kicked everyone out..."

What is he planning to do? He can't possibly be planning to pile them all up and burn them as a sacrifice to the heavens, can he?

"Burned?"

Wright smiled wryly: "That would be such a waste."

Even if it freezes, grinding it into powder and mixing it with good grain can at least last for a few days.

That's why I can't understand it.

Ronald sighed and lowered his voice: "Didn't you notice? Ever since the fight, Big Brother has been acting a little strange."

Someone was standing there, spacing out, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling... and now they've made us do this again.

Wright was silent for a moment: "Perhaps the master has his own plans."

"Of course I knew he had plans."

Ronald rubbed his temples. "I'm just... a little worried."

"In today's battle, those evil methods that northern barbarian used... could it be that my brother also..."

He didn't finish speaking, but Wright understood.

"Won't."

Wright shook his head: "Didn't you see? When Big Brother is fighting, all his movements are like a prophet—can't he anticipate danger?"

"But we don't know what their methods are..."

Ronald looked southeast—he and Wright were relatively close enough to see Wayne standing motionless in front of the small mountain of waste grain.

The two knights exchanged a glance and both saw the worry in each other's eyes.

They trusted Wayne completely.

But this trust, at least on a rational level, is based on the wisdom, decisiveness, and strength that Wayne has demonstrated so far.

But what I'm seeing now...

What do you think he's thinking?

Ronald asked.

Wright shook his head: "I don't know. But my brother never does anything meaningless."

"I know that too."

Ronald raised his voice: "I just don't understand... how could he possibly restore that pile of rotten grain that was frozen solid?"

The sentence was said casually, but after it was spoken, both of them were stunned.

They exchanged a glance and saw the same thought in each other's eyes—it wouldn't be possible if it were anyone else.

But if it's Wayne...

"That can't be right."

Wright murmured.

"If it were my eldest brother..."

Ronald stared in Wayne's direction: "Maybe..."

……

Wayne stood in front of the grain pile.

The night wind blew through his blood-stained black hair, and the damage and bloodstains on his leather armor were clearly visible in the morning light.

But at this moment, his back was straight and his expression was calm.

He reached out his hand, and a thought struck him.

The crystal-blue card, bearing a half-melting snowflake symbol, appeared in his hand.

At the same time, a square-shaped space of energy, which Wayne could fully perceive, appeared in front of him.

It is invisible and odorless, but it can be perceived by Wayne and moves with Wayne's will.

Wayne aimed it at the grain mountain, and in an instant, the card shattered, turning into countless points of light.

In the real world, a complex blue rune suddenly appeared on Wayne's left palm.

The runes glowed with Wayne's will, then detached from his palm, expanding into an array like magic, and covering the grain pile from above.

The moment the battle formation touched the grain mountain—

Change has begun.

It wasn't a dazzling light, but a gentler, more fundamental change.

The white frost on the surface of the grain pile began to fade.

Where the frost had receded, the original color of the grain was slowly revealed.

The grains, which were almost frozen solid, are recovering!

Moisture is redistributed evenly, and the material structure returns to normal...

Under some unreasonable force, grains that could almost fill half a warehouse appeared in front of Wayne!

"This isn't a prop card anymore..."

"This is...magic, isn't it?!"
