Just like that, the winter of the Akat Territory came as the two of them studied hard. After a month of low temperatures, it finally snowed heavily in the territory.
Looking at the snowy scenery outside, Luo Ya was a little excited. In such weather, people always wanted to go out and have a snowball fight. Even Ai Lisi, who had always been quiet, was a little excited.
Unfortunately, there were only two people in the Marquis Mansion, Luo Ya and Ai Lisi. Luo Ya couldn't bring himself to have a snowball fight, so the two of them had no choice but to make a little snowman.
As the saying goes, a timely snow indicates a good harvest. This year's snowfall would become a spring water source to nourish the earth. Therefore, Luo Ya and Ai Lisi weren't the only ones who were happy about the snowfall. The farmers in the villages outside the city were also happy.
The snow continued on and off for a few days. After it stopped, Ka Diya finally found a chance to go home. Recently, the Marquis seemed to be very busy. Even when he returned to Akkat City, he didn't stay idle. In the limited time he had, he led the militia and soldiers into the mountains to start a winter hunt.
The winter hunt was a must-have event in every territory. In the past, when everything withered in winter, people often lacked clothes and food. At this time, the local nobles would call the men who were idle at home because of the season to hunt in the mountains to supplement their living expenses.
The meat of the hunted could be eaten, and the skin could be made into clothes. It was a way to alleviate the difficulties of winter every year. However, now that the times had changed, people didn't have to go hungry in winter. Therefore, the hunt became more of a festive event.
Luo Ya wasn't old enough this year, and he didn't want to leave Ai Lisi alone at home, so he didn't participate in this activity. Ka Diya went into the mountains for three days, and on the fourth day, he brought a deer head back for Luo Ya.
"What the hell is this?"
This was Luo Ya's first thought when he saw the table-sized deer head. To be honest, he was really shocked. The deer head that Ka Diya brought back was comparable to the elephant head in Luo Ya's previous life. Not only was it big, but it was also very ferocious.
The first was the teeth. The three rows of sharp teeth were obviously not herbivores. The second was the antlers. This giant deer's antlers were greyish black at the base, and the top was bright red like blood. In the dark, it even emitted a little blood red light. even though Luo Ya was already dead, he still felt a deep sense of oppression. It could be said that its appearance was very ferocious.
"This is a blood-horned deer that has mutated by absorbing magic essence. It's a carnivorous beast. It's quite rare to see one this big. This is the biggest harvest of this winter hunt. Fortunately, I encountered it this time. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if it came out of the mountains and hurt people in the winter."
Ka Diya stroked the huge deer head with a look of joy. This made Luo Ya quite speechless. At the same time, he also recognized Ka Diya's strength as the chief wizard of the Knights.
"Father, how strong is this deer?"
"This deer, an ordinary blood-horned deer is about the fourth level of source rank. This one is too big, and the curse on its two horns is also very strong, so it should be close to the third level of source rank. It can be considered a pseudo-level 3 monster."
"So it's like this, I understand."
Luo Ya looked at Ka Diya with a little deep meaning. Although his father never talked about his strength, judging from this incident, even if there were soldiers cooperating with the encirclement and suppression, he should be at least above the third level of source rank.
After guessing Ka Diya's strength, Luo Ya looked back to observe the elephant-like giant deer. The young man touched the antlers that were much thicker than his thighs and suddenly felt that the world might not be as safe as he imagined.
After the winter hunt, Ka Diya left again after a few days. He looked very busy with work. Luo Ya and Ai Lisi were used to it. Everything in the mansion was in order until the arrival of a person brought some unexpected surprises to Luo Ya.
President Alvin came to deliver the sword.
After the business deal between Luo Ya and him three months ago, the two had not contacted each other. Luo Ya, who didn't want to sell things in the system, wanted to run away after cheating him, so he simply didn't go to Sorofia. But now that three months had passed, the custom-made short sword was completed, and Alvin came to visit himself.
Alvin came with a smile. Luo Ya naturally couldn't kick him out for no reason, so he arranged to meet him in the reception room. But what he didn't expect was that Alvin's smile was not perfunctory, he was really happy.
"Young Master Luo Ya, you've helped me a lot!"
Alvin excitedly held Luo Ya's hand, and the Favorability Value kept increasing, making the young man confused. Mr. President might have noticed Luo Ya's doubts, so he quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said,
"The lamp you sold received the sincere gratitude of the buyer, and the effect was far beyond expectations. Luo Chet's main store recorded this as a great merit for me. Next year, I will go to the Holy Capital to serve as the president of the Theocracy Headquarters. I'm really grateful to you and Lord Marquis."
Alvin smiled with a red face, but Luo Ya blinked in surprise. He didn't expect that a lamp could let Alvin directly become the president of the Theocracy Headquarters. This was a real important position.
Wait, it seems that the effect of this lamp is beyond imagination. According to the principle of the butterfly effect, it may have changed a lot of people and things. Is this a blessing or a curse?
Luo Ya frowned and thought for a long time. He felt that he didn't need to panic too much.
In the original work, he was ganged up on and beaten to death as the big boss. Could it be worse than this? As for the impact …
"How can it affect me so easily?"
Luo Ya smiled and threw this matter to the back of his mind in the blink of an eye. At this time, there were two new things in wooden boxes in front of him that attracted his attention.
One was a beautifully shaped short sword. The scabbard was decorated with black wood, gold, and jade. The design followed the ancient style, and the blade inside was shining with a cold light. It was made of expensive ice iron, and the overall length was slightly short. It was a short sword that was specially made for young nobles.
Obviously, the price was not cheap, and it was far more than the price Luo Ya offered at the time. This should be the automatic configuration for him by Alvin.
The other was much simpler than the short sword. It was a neatly arranged box of gold coins. Luo Ya roughly looked at it, and there were at least thousands of gold coins!
"Young Master Luo Ya, this is the 5000 gold coins I brought this time to express my gratitude. Please accept it as a testimony of our friendship. When I work in the Holy Capital, you are welcome at any time!"
Alvin pushed the box over with a smile. Luo Ya looked at him and smiled. He naturally understood what the president's subtext was. He wanted to maintain the cooperation and become a dedicated buyer of Luo Ya's treasures.
Luo Ya was not disgusted by Alvin's thoughts. Although this middle-aged man had the shrewdness of a businessman, he was not insatiable. He could have not mentioned the reason for his promotion and saved the 5000 gold coins, but he chose to thank Luo Ya and return the favor by establishing a long-term cooperation.
He was willing to give up and gain. He was a talent for daring to make such a big bet.
Thinking of this, Luo Ya straightened up and reached out to hold the box full of gold coins. He smiled with satisfaction.
"Deal!"
