Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence-Chapter 576 - 27: The Fire Rabbit Harvest and the Knights’ Restlessness

In order to feed these two strong and enormous beasts, over 100 pounds of meat is consumed daily, and they really don’t eat pork, preferring large prey such as Horned Horses, Uros Bulls, Moose, Forest Wolves, and so on.

If they were solely supported by the pasture, providing meat for them would require butchering over 200 Horned Horses and Uros Bulls every year.

It is important to note that these two creatures are extremely valuable!

Each Horned Horse is an exceptionally excellent warhorse, and Uros Bulls are only able to be grazed in mountain regions, with endurance for plowing that far exceeds ordinary Yellow Cattle.

So, after interacting with them for a moment and personally feeding each a large piece of freshly cut tender steak, Su Li turned to Edmond and asked, "My minister, this spring is truly burgeoning, do you have any good news on your side?"

"Of course!" Edmond immediately straightened his chest and answered loudly, "There is plenty of good news from our pasture. Thanks to the lush and vigorous grass, our Fire Rabbit breeding business is thriving. After a winter of recuperation last year, we have now restored the Fire Rabbit population to 32! And the average weight has exceeded 10 pounds!"

pounds of Fire Rabbit? Su Li was immediately delighted, this is actually considered a plump rabbit.

Although it’s not comparable to the three 30-pound plump rabbits Su Li first caught in the wild, 10 pounds is already a very high standard for domesticated rabbits.

And thanks to the rabbits’ extremely high libido, they can go into heat throughout the year, and winter hasn’t hindered their reproduction.

So among all the animals in the pasture, they were the first to bring good news.

They were already quite plump, and this spring, they will continue to breed.

Su Li did a simple calculation and then said with a smile, "These results are impressive. If those mature rabbits can give birth to one or two more litters this spring, we can fatten them up by autumn and sell them for a good price when winter arrives."

This Fire Rabbit is an epitome for Fire Attribute knights, as just one meal of rabbit meat can directly promote a small rank below the Elite Tier.

If luck holds and the foundation is strong enough, it might even directly breakthrough from Apprentice Knight to formal Knight or from formal Knight to Elite Knight!

Su Li’s rapid rank advancement is closely related to the fact that he ate Fire Rabbit meat three times last year.

In a mature Count’s Territory like Bauhinia Castle, a single Fire Rabbit’s price once auctioned up to 116 Gold Coins!

Of course, in Hesse Territory, it wouldn’t sell for such a high price.

Bauhinia Castle can sell at such high prices, not just because the territory is mature with many knights, but the key reason is that rarity commands a premium. The knights of Bauhinia Clan are all fire-attributed, so they desperately need this rabbit meat, driving the price up to a sky-high 116 Gold Coins.

The wealth level in Hesse Territory is relatively impoverished, and the Fire Rabbit population is too large; last year, it was sold multiple times, and this year, except for Elite Knights, no one would bid at such a high price.

This magical beast has a price at its production area on the borders of the Empire generally about 1/3 to 1/2 of the internal Empire prices.

Calculating it, it’s only about 40 to 60 Gold Coins.

Of course, this is not a small fortune either, meaning that just breeding these Fire Rabbits can bring a profit of 2,000 Golden Crowns to Su Li.

Edmond confidently said, "As long as there is enough Extraordinary Grass, we can ensure that these Fire Rabbits all grow strong and plump, becoming one of the main incomes of our pasture."

"Moreover, we have collected over a hundred Fire Rabbit pelts in the pasture and crafted some precious witchcraft artifacts, adding to our additional output."

Su Li raised an eyebrow. He honestly hadn’t paid much attention to this aspect before, usually just consuming Fire Rabbit meat without concern for anything else.

However, last year, the main stock of these Fire Rabbits was slaughtered by Su Li to enhance and reward the strength and morale of the soldiers.

So the Fire Rabbit fur must have been kept with the territory. Unexpectedly, the pasture actually paid attention to this.

Su Li immediately asked with interest, "What kind of artifacts have you made?"

"Our pasture spent 12 Golden Crowns and independently commissioned three Wizards and Divination Masters to create three kinds of witchcraft artifacts."

"The first is the Fur Heart-Protecting Talisman, which can resist one curse and malicious spying upon wearing, with a fire-ribbed pattern appearing on the chest of the wearer, burning invasive magic with high temperatures. A Wizard granted this effect by soaking Fire Rabbit chest fur in the lava spring for seven days."

"The second is the Ashen Language Divination Tube. Made from the Fire Rabbit’s rabbit bone, the divination prophesy stick allows the text to appear as embers after being ignited by Fire Attribute Spiritual Energy, providing a lot of information guidance. This is an important tool for adventurers exploring ancient tombs, seeking treasure, and surviving forest adventures. But there’s a taboo: it cannot be used on a full moon, or it will attract the gaze of a Chaos Demon."

"The third is the Fire-Ribbed Saddle Curtain, which can be draped over cavalry saddles. Golden threads embroidered with Holy Lily patterns can significantly reduce the impact knights sustain during charges. After absorbing the knight’s blood, it conspicuously aids in restoring endurance."

Su Li’s eyes lit up; all three of these witchcraft artifacts sound quite fascinating.

"Have you sold these three artifacts? What’s the price?"
