You, a dragon, are farming in hell

"Sure, I'll discuss this with the three generals in the military. Oh, by the way, goblins are monsters...they have hands and feet. If the army has a large number of prisoners, your Ministry of Works can have these goblins do the work."

Theodore's eyes lit up. "Your Highness's suggestion is excellent! I've taken note!"

Theodore is gone.

Sophia picked up her teacup and took a sip of black tea. She thought of her eldest sister, Eileen, and realized it was time to borrow some money from her.

Borrow 30,000 to 50,000 gold coins first.

Anyway, Eileen said in her letter that she had more money than she could spend and was even planning to buy a giant dragon.

With so much money, I suppose I wouldn't mind lending her 30,000 to 50,000 gold coins to spend.

It's time to meet that knight named Rex.

"Anna, send someone to inform Rex to come to the castle."

"Yes."

Around four o'clock, Rex, dressed in a white and gold knight's casual outfit, arrived at the castle garden.

Upon seeing Sophia lying in the rocking chair, he placed his right hand on his chest, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Your Highness Sophia."

"Sir Rex, there's no need for such formalities. I've summoned you here today to ask when you plan to return to Flower Language Plains."

While talking to Rex, Sophia gestured for him to find a place to sit.

"As Your Highness Sophia suggests, if Your Highness has urgent business or a letter that you need me to deliver to Your Highness Eileen, I can return to Flower Language Plain at any time."

"I see." Sophia stood up and took out two exquisite gift boxes from her spatial dragon scales. "These two gift boxes are gifts I prepared for Eileen. The box in my left hand contains a 'heavenly treasure'."

On the box in the right hand lies a precious 'herb'.

Sophia walked up to Rex and said, "Sir Rex, please give these two gifts I prepared to Eileen."

Rex stood up and carefully took the two exquisite gift boxes from Sophia's hands, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Does the North, with its barren landscape, possess any rare and precious natural treasures?

Chapter 133 His Highness is daydreaming again.

Perhaps it is a rare and precious treasure from deep in the mountains and forests.

Could it be a 'magic crystal' inside a high-level magical beast?

Speaking of which, adventurers from the North seem to be afraid to venture deep into the mountains and forests, and their exploration of these areas is less than 60 percent complete.

Rex had been wandering the streets for the past few days, learning about the situation in the North. During this time, he had come into contact with adventurers from the North and learned from them that very few adventurers ventured deep into the mountains and forests.

Especially in remote mountains, few adventurers dare to explore. Those forests are a paradise for magical beasts, and adventure teams simply don't dare to enter.

The main problem is that the adventurers in the North are not very strong, and there are no powerful adventurers to lead the team.

Ultimately, the North is simply not wealthy enough to attract powerful adventure teams.

"Your Highness, rest assured, I will personally deliver the gift you prepared for Princess Eileen to her."

Sophia smiled and nodded, then said, "The gifts I prepared for Eileen are all edible."

There's another thing. I'd like to borrow some money from my sister, Eileen. It's not much... 70,000 gold coins. If she can't come up with that much, lending me 40,000 or 50,000 gold coins would be fine too.

Besides gold coins, there was also food. The North was short of food; I don't need to mention that, Knight Rex should already know that.

I need Sister Wang, Eileen, to send some food to the North. I've written the details in the letter.

Sophia then took out a letter from the spatial dragon scales and handed it to Rex.

"Inside the envelope, besides the letter I wrote to Eileen, there's also an IOU. Tell Eileen not to worry about me not paying back the money; I'll definitely pay her back when I have the money."

Rex put the gift Sophia had prepared for Eileen into his spatial ring, and then respectfully accepted the envelope Sophia handed him.

“Yes, I will relay Princess Sophia’s words to Princess Eileen.”

Rex put away the envelope, looked at Sophia who was a head shorter than him, thought for a moment, and said, "Has Your Highness ever considered exploring the mountains and forests within the Northern Territory?"

"Is exploring the mountains beneficial to the North?"

"It depends on whether there are any minerals in the mountains and forests of the North. If there are minerals, they will only benefit the North and not harm it. For example, there may be magic crystals or iron ore."

If there were a magic crystal mine deep in some mountain in the North, just one magic crystal mine could alleviate the financial pressure on the North.

"No mines are no problem. The deep forests and remote mountains of the North are sparsely populated, and there must be plenty of wild herbs and magical potions, which can also increase the North's income."

Rex felt that this prince was perfectly capable of exploring the mountains of the North. This prince was not an adventurer, but the lord of the North.

An adventurer party needs to form a group if they want to explore a large mountain.

Princess Sophia doesn't need that. She can mobilize the army and have the strongest soldiers lead the way, slowly advancing and exploring the mountains bit by bit.

Sophia's face showed a thoughtful expression. Magic crystal ore... iron ore...

If these could be discovered deep in the mountains, it would certainly be beneficial to the North.

But the problem is that there are many magical beasts in the mountains, and the magical beasts deep in the mountains are stronger than those on the outskirts.

Sending troops to exterminate the monsters in the mountains will inevitably result in casualties.

She feared she wouldn't be able to handle too many casualties.

Another point is, before she came to the North, didn't those lords in the North ever think about exploring the mountains?

Sophia thought that some lords must have thought of this.

As for why no lord ultimately explored the mountains, it must have been related to the magical beasts lurking within.

This matter needs to be discussed with the ministers in the North before a decision is made.

She wasn't a native of the North and didn't know much about the mountains there.

But most of the ministers in the North are natives of the North, and they know the North better than she does.

"Sir Rex's suggestion is good. I will discuss it with the Minister of the North."

"If my suggestion can help Your Highness and the Northern Border, that would be wonderful."

"When does Knight Rex plan to return to Flower Language Plains?"

"I'll go back tomorrow."

Rex smiled.

Before he came to the North, Princess Eileen had instructed him to return to the Flower Language Plains as soon as possible if Sophia replied to him.

The next time he comes to the Northern Territory, his identity will probably no longer be that of a guard for the Hundred Flowers Caravan.

"When Knight Rex returns to Flower Language Plains tomorrow, please be careful and remember to give the gift I prepared to Eileen."

"Your Highness, rest assured, I will personally hand it over to Princess Eileen."

Sophia nodded, chatted with Rex for a while, then Rex got up to say goodbye to Sophia and left the castle.

As Rex left the castle, he was curious about the gift Sophia had given to Princess Irene. He wanted to open it and take a look, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

What's wrong with him seeing the gift that Princess Sophia gave to Princess Irene beforehand?

When I hand it to Princess Eileen in person, I will know what gift Princess Sophia gave to Princess Eileen.

Unable to bear it any longer, he will set off for Flower Language Plains tomorrow. He is a griffin knight, and riding a griffin, he will be able to return to Flower Language Plains in no time.

Sophia watched Rex leave, then lay back in her rocking chair with a mischievous grin on her face.

She had already begun to imagine what it would be like for Eileen to receive her gift.

The pure white hell fruit radiating a holy glow.

The night-blooming jasmine, which has a faint medicinal fragrance.

Hey...

If Eileen eats the Hell Fruit first, the bitterness that reaches her very soul will make everything she eats bitter for the next two or three days.

However, based on her understanding of her elder sister Eileen, she knew that Eileen would definitely open both gift boxes at the same time.

Having tasted the bitterness of the hell fruit and smelled the medicinal fragrance of the night-blooming jasmine, she might think it was the antidote and then pick a piece and put it in her mouth.

She'll smell terrible then... even a shower won't help.

Ha ha ha ha...

If she eats the medicinal herb Night-Blooming Jasmine first, she will definitely try the Hell Fruit afterward, because the Hell Fruit looks too good.

You won't know the bitterness of the Hell Fruit until you taste it.

hey-hey...

Stinky Queen Eileen, the gifts I'm giving you may cause you some suffering and make you smelly, but they're all really good stuff.

Something of exceptional quality that is unavailable in the entire Kingdom of Roland.

No, it's something wonderful that no one else in the entire human world possesses.

and many more!

Sofia's smile vanished as she straightened up, thinking of a very serious problem.

After Eileen tasted the bitterness of the Hell Fruit and became a smelly princess, she won't be angry and refuse to lend her money anymore, right?

Surely... they're not that stingy?

The gift she gave her was something money couldn't buy...

Don't lend her money. When she becomes queen, transfer her to the North as a lord.

No, no, by then the Northern Territory had already been governed by her to the point where it was no less prosperous than the Flower Language Plain.

Should we let her come to the North to continue enjoying her life?

Sophia lay back down in the rocking chair. "Emily, where do you think I should send Eileen to be a lord after I become queen?"

"?"

Standing to the side, Emily felt that her lord was daydreaming again.

Chapter 134 Your Highness wants to build a zombie army?

Emily thought that her princess should consider whether she would transfer Princess Eileen to the Flower Language Plain as a lord after Princess Eileen became the queen of the Kingdom of Roland.

If my prince could become the lord of the Flower Language Plains, that would be wonderful.

“Your Highness, I think you should first consider whether Princess Eileen will ride a griffin to the North to beat you up after she tastes the bitterness of the fruit.”

"?!"

Emily's words startled Sophia, who sat up straight from the rocking chair. "No...no way? She's the lord of the Flower Language Plains. She's usually busy with official duties. She wouldn't just ride a griffin to the North to beat me up, would she?"

Besides, I'm now a lord in the North, the same rank as her. She wouldn't come looking for a fight over something so trivial, would she?

Seeing Sophia become nervous, head maid Emily suppressed a laugh and said, "Your Highness has grown up. Princess Eileen won't beat you up like she used to."

"Yes, that's what I think too."

"Even if they wanted to beat you up, they would definitely do it away from us."

"..."

Sofia, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, became tense again.

Wait a minute, why should I be afraid of Eileen?

She gave Eileen something nice.

Besides... she can now summon the Heroic Spirit Caroline. If Eileen dares to come to the North and beat her up, she dares to summon the Heroic Spirit Caroline and have her avenge her!

Sophia still felt that Eileen wouldn't come specifically to beat her up, but would find an excuse to do so when she saw her and remembered the incident.

It is safe for the time being.

Emily was mean too, she scared her.

Sophia got up, walked to Emily's side, bent down, picked up a watering can, and watered the flowers and plants in the garden.

Anna went to help her prepare the barbecue. She couldn't forget to build a good relationship with the Blood Beetles, as they would be needed for road repairs in the future.

Developing territory is really tiring. It's better to be Lord Destin's little brat. I don't have to think about anything. I just need to take care of the crops in the fields.
