“We understand, Miss Lily.”

Chad nodded and immediately led the goblins back to the camp.

Soon after, Chad came out alone and reported to Amelia, "Miss Lily, we found some supplies prepared by the people of the Kingdom of Bagus in the camp. They should be for their daily use. Perhaps we can take these supplies with us."

"Take them with you; we really shouldn't waste supplies." Amelia had no objection.

"Then I'll go and get ready." Chad retreated back into the camp.

After a while, several carriages set off from the camp. Most of the carriages were filled with various supplies, and they were driven by goblins.

Chad drove out in a carriage and said to Amelia, "Miss Lily, we have packed all the supplies."

"Then let's go."

Amelia did not look back at the camp one last time.

She didn't need to deal with the corpses in the camp; the heavy snow would bury everything there.

Amidst the wind and snow, the carriage wheels began to roll, moving at a leisurely pace, until the entrance to the valley gradually came into view.

As they approached the valley entrance, Amelia noticed some figures waiting there.

It's Ruth, and the garrison of Star River Territory!

Ruth knew Amelia's plan. While Amelia pretended to be captured, she also quietly returned with her men. However, in order to avoid disturbing Amelia's plans, she waited for them at the entrance of the valley.

When Ruth saw Amelia and Eileen return, and the members of the Harvest Adventurers were also there, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“Miss Lily,” Ruth greeted her.

"Ruth, everything went smoothly. Come to the carriage, and I'll tell you about the situation so you can be mentally prepared."

"I see."

Ruth, who was riding a horse, immediately dismounted and let the garrison take the horses back, while she got into Amelia's carriage.

After Ruth came up, Amelia first talked about how the Harvest Adventurers had become a subordinate force of the Silent Throne.

Ruth was delighted by this; if the Harvest Adventurers were willing to join them, then the food problem should be able to be solved properly.

It's important to know that goblins are very few in number and have no fixed base, making them difficult to encounter. The addition of this group of goblins is a great benefit to Star River Territory.

After discussing the Harvest Adventurer Group, Amelia then spoke about the situation in the Kingdom of Bagus: "Among the people from the Kingdom of Bagus this time, there is also a High Apostle."

"A high-ranking apostle?" Ruth's expression changed immediately.

“He’s dead,” Amelia said again.

Ruth glanced instinctively at Eileen, who was driving the carriage.

The only one capable of killing a high-ranking apostle is undoubtedly Eileen, yet she discovered that Eileen had not suffered a single injury. Could it be that dealing with a high-ranking apostle was not such a difficult task for Eileen?

Ruth had a clearer understanding of Eileen's abilities.

“The death of a high-ranking apostle is not something to be ignored. The Kingdom of Bagus may take some action in response. In any case, Ruth, please keep an eye on this situation and let me know as soon as you have any news,” Amelia instructed.

“I understand, Miss Lily.” Ruth nodded seriously.

It was late at night, and snow was raging outside. Amelia and the others were unable to return to Morington City that day, so they went to the nearest town to rest for the night before setting off again the next day.

==========

April 29th, 720th year of the Heavenly Calendar.

Amelia and the others set off from the town early in the morning and returned to Morington City at noon.

Upon returning, they didn't waste any time. After finishing their meal, Ruth led them away from the city again, heading to a hillside not far from Morington.

There is a frozen river here, and between the river and the hillside is a clearing that looks bare in this snowy weather.

Looking up from here, the city of Morington can be faintly seen in the distance.

“The geology here is quite good; see if we can plant here,” Ruth said to Chad.

The purpose of coming here is to try to get the goblins to grow food in this kind of weather.

Chad nodded and led the goblins over to examine the ground. Although Ruth had said the geology here was excellent, they still needed to check it themselves.

Inside the carriage, Amelia and Eileen sat side by side, looking in this direction.

Both of them were wearing black fitted long dresses today. Although they looked thin, they didn't feel much cold because they were wearing thermal tops and tights underneath.

Amelia sat there with her legs drawn up, her aquamarine eyes filled with curiosity as she looked at the goblins, wanting to take this opportunity to learn more about the abilities she could gain after assuming the throne of the earth.

The original owner had almost no information in this regard, because the number of goblins was really small.

The geological inspection didn't last long, and Chad quickly concluded that the soil quality was indeed fine.

Since the soil quality is fine, the next step is to modify the ground surface.

The goblins, skilled in using earth-based abilities, all pitched in and used their powers to transform the ground, turning it upside down in a short time to create a suitable environment for planting.

Watching the snow still falling, Ruth couldn't help but ask, "It's been snowing non-stop, will it affect the planting?"

“Under normal circumstances it would be inconvenient to plant, but we can, no matter how cold the weather or how much snow falls,” Chad said confidently.

They obtained some wheat seeds, and the goblins, skilled in life cultivation, used various abilities on them, such as "seed cultivation" to improve the quality of the wheat seeds and "seed enhancement" to make the wheat seeds more resilient and resistant to the cold.

After making certain improvements to the seeds, the goblins planted them in different locations. After planting, someone used the ability of "growth acceleration" to speed up the growth of the seeds.

Chad said to Ruth, "With accelerated growth, wheat can be harvested in just one month. However, we can't just wait. During the wheat's growth, we need to use various abilities to nurture it, such as 'seedling cultivation,' 'water absorption,' and 'germination promotion.' These abilities need to be used at appropriate times during this process."

Ruth nodded, seemingly understanding.

She didn't actually understand the ability to nurture life, and hearing Chad's explanation this time gave her a sense of broadening her horizons.

Regardless, the fact that the planted wheat can be harvested in a month is a great thing for Star River Territory.

Next, Chad and the other goblins only need to expand the planting area and grow more food. After harvesting the food a month later, they can continue to plant the next batch.

“It seems the planting is all set.” Amelia said, stretching her limbs as she did so, then added, “Eileen, let’s go exercise.”

“Okay.” Eileen nodded.

==========

Soon after, Eileen drove the carriage to the edge of a small grove of trees and stopped there.

"The wind and snow are quite heavy." Amelia looked at the sky and smiled. "But a poor environment is good, it's more conducive to training."

Compared to the quiet and undisturbed training room, Amelia felt that the outdoors was more suitable for training herself.

She took her longbow, 'Silver Moon,' and stepped into the woods.

Eileen walked in carrying a wooden sword.

“Your Majesty, today will still be our sparring session. However, in order to better train our self-control, I suggest that we do not damage the trees here during the training,” Eileen suggested.

“I understand what you mean. It’s a good idea to train without breaking a single branch.” Amelia nodded in agreement.

Snow fell in the woods, and the branches were already covered with white frost.

As the wind passed by, a few slender branches swayed, and the frost and snow on them fell off like dust.

As they entered the depths of the forest, Amelia sprang into action, using the Wind God's Dance to quickly approach Eileen, her longbow gleaming with silver light as she slashed towards her.

Eileen remained calm and swung her wooden sword to meet the attack.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The two quickly clashed in the woods.

This wasn't their first encounter; they were well aware of each other's strengths and weaknesses, so they fought with ease.

Defeating Amelia would be easy for Irene, but her goal was to train Amelia, so she suppressed her own power so that Amelia could perform well and get some training.

They fought like that for half an hour.

After half an hour of fighting, Amelia's body had become hot, and her blood was flowing rapidly, which made her fight more composed and her attacks more and more fierce.

Amelia herself may not have realized it, but Eileen keenly noticed the change in Amelia.

'His Majesty's combat strength has suddenly increased? Although the increase isn't significant, what caused this sudden boost?'

Eileen had some doubts in her heart.

She knew that Amelia would never have hidden her strength before, since their purpose was to train, and who would hide their strength during training?

Besides, she was perfectly aware of Amelia's exact strength.

Thinking of this, Eileen jumped back and stopped fighting, asking, "Your Majesty, your combat power has increased. Do you know why?"

"Combat strength has increased? Has it?"

Because the improvement was not significant, Amelia didn't feel anything.

However, since Eileen had already said that, she still carefully examined her own condition and only felt the heat from half an hour of fighting.

Is it the blood of the gods boiling within?

Has Amelia finally reached the point of boiling blood?

[Upon closer examination, while the ability to unleash bloodline boiling is mostly manifested at the higher-ranking apostle level, it's not uncommon for mid-ranking apostles to enhance their strength through bloodline boiling.]

Judging from Amelia's performance, her excitement level is probably less than 10%.

Having this head is already quite good. As long as Amelia can master Blood Boil, her combat power will be greatly enhanced.

The audience immediately understood what was going on and sent comments expressing their opinions.

Even though Amelia couldn't figure out what was going on, she glanced at the comments and her attention was immediately drawn to them.

Blood boiling?

Is there such a concept as the bloodline of gods?

Amelia glanced at the comments and roughly understood the situation.

Although apostles with divine bloodlines are stronger than other apostles of the same rank, they are not significantly stronger. Only after their bloodlines boil and they gain an increase in combat power can they unleash even stronger or overwhelming strength compared to their peers.

'No wonder I always felt my advantages against the other mid-level apostles were relatively limited; it turns out I was missing the "bloodline boiling" stage.'

Amelia suddenly realized that she had recalled the battle with the people of the Bagos Kingdom in the valley yesterday.

At that time, she seemed to have a surge of adrenaline, which led to a slight increase in her combat power.

In other words, getting your blood pumping requires a thrilling and exhilarating battle.
