"Go, little guy!" When Nalant came to the edge of the Fire Forest, there were large tree stumps that had not yet been removed. These were the biggest difficulties in converting them into cultivated land.
However, these stumps are currently being used to grow sweet potatoes, so we don’t need to pay attention to them.
Nalant released both elves at once.
"Migu! Migu!"
The elf came to the ground, stared at Nalant for a moment with big watery eyes, jumped twice in front of him, and then walked towards the wasteland.
Without Nalant's command, the two little guys directly occupied an acre of land each and settled down.
As the green light rippled, green light spots visible to the naked eye appeared among the surrounding weeds.
"Kenbi Cowdung, let the villagers start working! Clear out the weeds and plant the sweet potatoes and the purple grass together. Remember, also scatter the ungerminated sweet potatoes and seeds!"
"Yes, sir!"
Because of the importance of sweet potatoes, Narante had to personally supervise here.
Next, he hid in the shade of a tree and watched the serfs start working hard.
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. With the work of dozens of serfs, it only took one morning to clear the weeds in two acres of land.
The next step is to dig out the vegetable ridges, transplant and sow.
Let the serfs have a quick lunch and continue working in the afternoon.
"The weather is really hot!" Although he was hiding in the shade of a tree, it was already summer, so the sweat on Nalant's body could not stop flowing down.
"It would be great if there was iced watermelon juice!" As he chewed on the wild fruit that the guards had found, Nalant smashed it into his mouth, remembering the cold drink in his previous life.
It's a pity that in this world, ice cubes are exclusive to the nobles, not to mention that there are no watermelons in this world.
"Chirping!" But at this moment, there were several small sparrows surrounding Nalant.
It turned out that there were many seeds in the wild fruits that Nalant ate and he spat them around, but they were targeted by these sparrows.
"Well, you are quite courageous!" Nalant was a little surprised. The nearest sparrows were only one or two meters away from him.
"Come on, I have some fruit here, do you want to eat it?" Nalant was also bored, so he simply stretched out his hand and handed over half of the uneaten wild fruit.
Chirping chirping!
To Nalant's disbelief, just a moment later, two small sparrows flew quickly onto his palm and began to carefully consider the wild fruits and eat them.
"Hiss! Am I more handsome today, or do these sparrows not understand the dangers of society?" Nalant felt a little incredible.
It would be okay if something like this happened to Shirley, but it would be different if it happened to me.
"Could it be...that affinity fruit?" In the next moment, Nalant suddenly realized that perhaps, this was the effect of the affinity fruit he had taken in the morning.
"Although it's a bit tasteless, it feels pretty good!" After thinking about it, Nalant returned to calmness. It was a good feeling to be able to interact with these little animals.
If he had been in his previous life, he would have been able to enter the countryside as if there were no other people around him, and walk through the streets without having to worry about being chased by dogs.
"My lord, the plowing has been completed."
At this time, Kenbi Cowdung came over and reported.
"Kenby Cowdung, why don't you pay attention? Don't you see, sir, I'm in trouble!" Narant also wanted to tease a few little sparrows and take them back to Shirley to raise, but Kenby Cowdung was This throat is ruined.
"ah?"
"Ah what! Kenbi Cowdung, this sweet potato will be left to you from now on. Be sure to take good care of it. Its existence is more important than wheat!"
There are more than thirty single sweet potato seedlings. As for the ones that have not sprouted, Narant doesn't know whether they will survive, so he is counting on these thirty plants as seeds for next year.
"More important than wheat? Yes, sir! Kenby must watch them carefully!" Although Kenby still didn't understand the importance of sweet potatoes, he still patted his chest and responded.
"Well, if there's anything going on here, feel free to report to the castle!"
After saying that, Nalant didn't stay any longer. It was really hot in the wild, so he had better stay cool in the castle.
"Adults, walk slowly! The little one will definitely like the sweet potatoes!"
"Well, it's strange. Although your lord is a bit fierce today, why do I feel that your lord is more admired than before!" Kenbi Cowdung nodded and bowed to send Nalant away, and finally muttered in confusion.
…
Time flies and more than ten days have passed. It is now close to the end of June. It is only a few days before we leave for Tulipland.
These days, Nalant has not stopped much, but has become even busier. A week ago, the barbarian guards were finally able to meet the requirements of standing and walking in unison.
From that time on, Nalant gave extra meals to the guard team every day.
Not to mention running cross-country in the jungle, learning to swim in the sea, and learning rock climbing at night.
Narant just carried out night raids on the wooden houses where the guards lived in the early morning every day.
The time of the attack was not fixed every day. He would wait until the guards were asleep before suddenly rushing in and beating them randomly with a wooden stick.
Although being hit with a wooden stick a few times was nothing to the barbarians, the sudden attacks every night also made them miserable after undergoing intensive training during the day.
Fortunately, after four or five days of sneak attacks, the barbarian guards gradually got used to such days.
Even in the last two days, when Nalant approached the wooden house, the barbarians would sit up and stare with eyes the size of copper bells, waiting for Nalant to enter the house.
When Narant saw that the barbarians' vigilance finally increased, he was satisfied and prepared to change the daily attacks to every three and five.
"Catherine, assemble the guard team and bring some dry food. Let's set off. We won't be returning to the castle at noon today!"
This morning, Nalant gathered his personal guard team early.
His big brick kiln was finally completed before departure, and Narant was going to inspect it in person today.
In addition, Kenby Cow Dung also sent a message last night, saying that the task of driving the sea team to learn swimming has been completed.
Although it cannot be said that all of them are idlers, at least they cannot drown.
Therefore, he still needs to go to the beach today to see if his guess is correct and whether there are other magic sea clams on the coast.
"Meet the adults!"
"I've met the lord!"
When Narant led the guards to the open space outside Maiye Village, the original small brick kiln had been demolished and replaced by a large brick kiln that was dozens of times larger.
"Well, have you put all the bricks and mud in?"
"Sir, it has been put in, waiting for you to check the ignition!"
After the barbarian women and children came to the Storm Territory, because they did not know how to farm or do any technical work, the brick factory became the best place to arrange them.
Things like digging clay, making brick embryos, and carrying bricks are considered hard work for ordinary human children and women, but to savage women and children, this is just like play.
Under the labor of more than a hundred barbarian women and children, brick embryos were continuously produced.
When Mario came to report the completion of the brick kiln yesterday, Nalant ordered them to put the first batch of brick embryos into it.
In this way, the first kiln of green bricks will be fired today, and he can confirm the quality of the fired bricks before he leaves.
If the bricks are fired up to standard, he can go to Tulip City with confidence. The renovation plan of Maiye Village will use green bricks as materials in the future.
Under the leadership of Mario, Nalant approached the brick kiln to check.
This brick kiln is made of stone and mud, with an oval shape and a large chimney inserted behind it.
When I walked to the door of the brick kiln, it was already filled with bricks and mud embryos waiting to be fired.
"Then start building the door!"
There was nothing else to pay attention to. Nalant gave an order, and the serf craftsmen began to seal the brick kiln door with stones.
"ignition!"
After the kiln door was sealed, Nalant stood in front of one of the lighting holes. Following his order, the other serfs joined him in lighting the six fire holes in the kiln.
As the ferocious fire began to burn, Narante was satisfied.
"Mario, I'll work harder on you these days. Bring someone here to keep an eye on me!"
"Yes, sir!"
This is the first kiln, and Narant hopes to get off to a good start.
