Chapter 33 Next(1/2)
"Sevena, aren't they... compatriots from your hometown? How could..."
"Don't worry, although we are compatriots, it's just a special feeling we have for the past. In fact, they and I are not of the same race at all now, and I don't treat them as compatriots on the surface, so there are some
I don’t worry too much about things, and doing so won’t harm them. After all, they are just a group of children. Rather than letting them live freely, it would be more appropriate to hand them over to others to take care of them.”
"and you……"
"I'll forget it. Although I do want to handle it personally, I still can't interfere because of my status concerns. This is against the rules. Of course, the same goes for my companion who returned to his hometown. He is returning to his hometown now. In fact, to a certain extent
He has already broken the rules, so he will be punished when he comes back again."
"Punishment... from whom?"
"Well... things may not be as simple as you think, and there are some things I am really not suitable to tell you now."
"Sorry, I was presumptuous."
"No, it doesn't matter what happened to you, there's nothing wrong with you." Savina put down the tea cup and then looked at Hex and Desmo who were sitting nearby and asked, "You guys should also tell me your opinions."
Goddess Desmo nodded and said that she had no objections to the new residents of this world, but she did put forward some ideas for the operation and management of the village.
"What will this village look like? Local customs? Or the cultural style of Drahm? And will the products of Drahm be restored in terms of crops?"
"There are some difficulties. It was a long, long time ago when I lived there, so I don't know what Drahm was like before it was destroyed. Moreover, these children no longer have much memory of their hometown. Resurrection as humans
The price is too high, and the only thing they can remember is probably their own name..." Severna smiled bitterly, but I couldn't see why she was smiling bitterly.
"Does the master plan to let them take root here? Or is it a temporary residence?" Hex suddenly asked.
"For now, there is nothing wrong with letting them take root here. After all, they have nowhere to go." Severna leaned back and asked.
"In that case, let's make some preparations in advance."
"Do you mean?"
"For example, the lifestyle of these children. Although they came here as humans, Master, you don't seem to intend for them to live like humans, right?" Hex's words aroused my interest.
I was curious, so I also turned my attention to Severna.
Severna stared at the tea cup on the table for a while, and then said with a sense of loss: "I don't know what my thoughts are. Maybe you are right, I don't want them to become completely human...
..." Severna shook his head and said: "Anyway, these are off-topic. Now let's talk about whether there is any suitable management method that can make this village a little richer? But it can't be too much.
Alternative, at least it will not cause other human beings to become greedy just because they have a lot of wealth."
"Then we can get rid of gold and silver, and food is a good choice. Having rich food can not only fill your stomach, but also sell it, and at the same time, it will not attract the attention of other humans." Desmo finished speaking and looked at it.
Look at Hex.
"Don't look at me. You know much more about mortal affairs than I do."
"Don't you have any additional comments?" Desmer asked, tugging on Hex's sleeve.
"Do you have any opinion... The yield of human crops nowadays is not high..." Hex looked at me thoughtfully and asked: "Diana, does the agriculture of your elves really work? Tell me about it.
The biggest difference is on the human side.”
"The biggest difference is probably the elf magic... We will use some very special magic to improve the richness of the soil... It seems that there is also magic that works on seeds..." My memory of my hometown itself is not
It's quite sufficient, but I don't actually know much about agriculture.
"This is good. We can copy the methods of the elves. Oh, I mean copying the method is not directly applying their magic. We can change the method and cover a wider range. It does not have to be limited to
In terms of food... than minerals or fisheries?"
"Yes, this lake is also a good resource...but will Shadir agree? This is her territory." Desmo looked at Hex again.
"I went back to talk to her about this. I think the problem shouldn't be big. After all, we did not break the contract to allow "human beings" to live in her territory. There is also a small problem, that is, I think we have problems with this small village.
I need to ask Erica for her opinion, I think she will be interested in this." Hex said and looked towards the door.
Severna and Desmo also laughed, and without knowing why, I turned my head and glanced at the door, only to see Erica and Aurora sticking their heads out from behind the opened door in a sneaky way.
.
"Hey... everyone is here... Diana, can we go in?"
Looking at Erica's flattering smile, I sighed helplessly.
"Come in, we have something to ask you."
"Village? They're all still kids?!" I asked, scratching my head in confusion.
"Well, they're not too young. They all look like teenagers." Severna explained.
"Since we want to resurrect them as humans, we can't make them older? At least we can make them adults."
"I have considered this before. Although their actual age is relatively young, their intelligence develops faster than humans. However, although their minds are more mature than humans of the same age, their physical fitness is not slightly weaker than humans, so if they are allowed to grow up,
It will be counterproductive to the human body."
"Oh...then there's no problem." I turned around and took the tea that Miss Lisa poured for me and thanked her.
What I just spoke was Annuo, which I learned from Aurora on the plane this afternoon. She is a better teacher than Diana. At least I have memorized a dozen daily words in one afternoon. I sipped
He took a sip of hot tea and looked at Hex before asking: "So...what do you need to ask me?"
"What do you think about the way this village is run?"
"Why are you asking me? Should you ask the kids?"
"As the manager here, you are also an adult, so your opinion is more important."
"Really...but I always feel that you are planning to just let me handle these troublesome things?"
"You're overthinking. Let's talk about food first. Do you have any good suggestions? For example, what crops to plant?" Hex immediately sat up straight and looked like he was asking for advice humbly, but the more she became more like this
The more I pretend, the more problematic I feel.
I stood there for a long time holding my teacup, thinking about this issue. In fact, when Severna told me to let me manage a village, I felt an indescribable sense of excitement, as if I had won the lottery out of nowhere.
I must be happy. Because I instantly changed from an unemployed person who was worrying about his livelihood to a little lord who can exploit people at will. Although this is just a description and I don't intend to exploit those 100 poor children, but in terms of my state of mind
This change still makes me very happy.
A part of the village's output will be paid to me, which means that the farmland in the village is linked to my dining table. Personally speaking, I am not picky about food and basically like to eat everything, but suddenly I was reminded
I can’t tell you what to plant in the ground because there are so many things I want to say.
"Little...wheat?"
"Any more?" Hex smiled at me, but this smile made me feel a little annoyed, because I always felt that she was provoking me again.
"Wheat, corn, rice, potatoes, sugar beets..." I mentioned a few randomly. In fact, although I like to eat them, when it comes to crops, I really can't say much.
"Is there nothing else besides food?" Diana looked at me with some dissatisfaction.
"Oh...chili, vanilla, pepper, nutmeg..."
"Except for food!" Diana pinched me with extreme dissatisfaction.
"What else can there be?" I asked, rubbing my pinched thigh.
"Cash crops? Cotton, hemp, silkworms, oilseeds, salt and sugar, etc.?" Aurora suddenly said.
"Yes, that's it. After all, we can't just be self-sufficient. At the very least, we must try to use some cash crops to communicate with the outside world." Diana nodded with great satisfaction, and then glared at me again.
"With just over 100 people, how can we grow so many things? Are we just farming and not doing anything else? Why do I feel like you are more like a corrupt lord who exploits the people than me... Ah... stop! I was wrong...
..." I was pinched several times quickly by Diana, so now I didn't dare to look directly into her eyes, so I simply looked at Severna to seek her opinion.
"I don't care about this, and I don't know how to do it. It's up to you to handle it." Severna looked at Hex and Desmo.
"I think planting two main crops is enough. By the way, how much farmland do you plan to give to the village?" I looked at Hex again and asked.
"Depending on your needs, in fact the entire forest is now under your jurisdiction. You can get as much farmland as you want."
"Then I want the entire Selida Forest to be planted with potatoes?"
"Okay, do you want it now?" Hex looked at me with a half-smiling expression.
"Forget it, let's get the potatoes and wheat first. As for the other things, we should get them ourselves, right?" I looked at Diana and Aurora.
"This forest is actually not suitable for growing wheat." Aurora suddenly said: "It is more suitable than wheat and rice. Don't forget that there is sufficient water here. It is easy to build a paddy field."
"But wheat can make beer..."
"What did you say?!" Diana suddenly glared at me again.
"No, no, no, I mean...bread, rice can't be used to make bread..." I quickly changed my words.
"You can currently buy this from outside. The main crop of the Principality of Michael is wheat, especially in the northern Bar Plains, where the wheat yield is extremely high... What's wrong?" Aurora glanced at Diana, who seemed to have something to say.
The way he said it.
"The north...the north of the principality...a war is about to break out."
"What?! When did it happen?" Aurora asked nervously.
"I'll tell you this alone later..." Diana glanced at me and then looked around everyone and said, "That's it for the crop issues. As for the follow-up issues, how about I discuss them with Desmo?
"
"Okay, let's talk about this later." Desmo replied with a smile.
