Chapter 23 Confession
After breakfast, Merlin asked Meg to lead the slaves and continue to tidy up the caves. It would be best to cut down all the trees on the mountain to see if they could be made into a small boat. In this way, they can go to Yamanaka Lake and have a good look at it. But Merlin himself planned to take a closer look around the castle to see if he could find a place suitable for them to improve the land.
In Merlin's view, improving the land is a top priority. Only when the land is improved can people like them have a foundation to live and work, and have hope of survival.
Although she didn’t know what Zhao Hai’s space farm was about, seeing that Zhao Hai could improve the land and produce 80,000 kilograms of radishes at once showed Zhao Hai’s ability. It's related to agriculture.
Although Merlin doesn't know the magic of space farms, she is a smart person. Coupled with her age and rich life experience, she can guess almost everything.
But when she saw that Zhao Hai didn't tell her, she didn't ask any more questions. She knew that Zhao Hai was the head of the family now, and Zhao Hai had more ideas than before. It would be bad for her to ask further questions.
As soon as Zhao Hai heard that Merlin was going to inspect the terrain around the castle, he had to go with him. In the past few days in the foreign world, besides being in the castle, he just walked around the mountains, or else he I was busy working in the space and never looked around here at all. Today I can take advantage of this opportunity to take a good look around. After all, this is his territory.
Zhao Hai wanted to follow, so naturally the wood and stone also followed, but Zhao Hai did not give in. He only took the wood and asked the stone to stay and help Meg take care of the slaves. Being left alone to watch a hundred slaves, Zhao Hai was really worried.
Zhao Hai and the others came out of the castle. Mu Mu walked alone on the mountain and looked at the terrain carefully. Zhao Hai and Mei Lin walked along the foot of the mountain. Merlin was older and a magician. Naturally, Zhao Hai was not in good health, and the same was true for Zhao Hai, so the two of them did not go up the mountain for a walk. If they had gone up the mountain, they would be too tired to move after walking for a while.
It was also the first time for Merlin and Zhao Hai to leave the castle so far away. As they walked, they looked around. To say that this black soil wasteland was really strange. On the semi-circular mountain, there were only There are some small trees and grass, but surrounded by mountains is a large plain. You can't see the edge at a glance. There is nothing interesting at all. It is clear at a glance.
Only the terrain on the mountain is a little more complicated, but because the mountain is not very high and there are not many trees growing, the terrain on the mountain can be seen clearly from the bottom of the mountain, so there is no need to worry too much.
The two of them walked along the corner of the mountain for more than three hours. In addition to feeling increasingly desolate, they found nothing. Black land is still black land, and barren mountains are still barren mountains.
Zhao Hai glanced around, then turned to Merlin and said: "Grandma Merlin, take a rest for a while. Our fiefdom is too big to be seen in one or two days. If it doesn't work, just wait for Grandpa Green to come back. , we came out on horseback, It’s really tiring to walk like this now.”
Merlin is also very tired. She is a magician, not a warrior, and her body is not strong at all. She can usually do some housework, so let her rush like this. , she really couldn't bear it.
The two casually found two rocks and sat down. As soon as Mumu saw the two sitting down, he immediately ran down the mountain, walked to Zhao Hai and said, "Master, you are here first. Rest, I’ll take a look around.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said: "Okay, go ahead and be more careful." Mu Mu responded, turned around and ran up the mountain again. Judging from his appearance, he was not tired at all.
Merlin sat on the stone and looked at the endless black land in front of him. He sighed leisurely and said: "When we heard that the empire had given this place to us, we were really desperate. Now, everyone knows that the Black Soil Wasteland is a dead land where nothing grows. , and it’s right next to the Carrion Swamp. We were assigned here, and there’s really nothing we can do except wait to die.” At this point, she stopped, lowered her head, and said with a look of reminiscence in her eyes: “Green. As soon as I heard the news, I immediately spent all the money at home to buy various things. Capital, he also wants us to persist for a few more years. As long as the old nobles no longer pay attention to us in a few years, we are thinking of other ways to make money. No matter what, we cannot let the Buda family die in our hands. "
Speaking of this, Merlin remained silent for a while. , as if recalling the desperate scene at that time, Zhao Hai did not say anything. He could understand the mood of Merlin and the others. The Buda family was the place where they were born and raised, but they could only watch the Buda family walking towards the black soil wasteland. The place of death, waiting to die here, the feeling is so desperate.
After a while, Merlin took a deep breath, turned to look at Zhao Hai and said: "Fortunately, young master, you are awake, and you have that magical ability to improve the land. This also allows us to see It’s time to hope, young master, the future revitalization of the Buda family will depend on you. "
Green also said similar things to Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai understood that this was Merlin and Green's expectations of him, but the more this happened, the more difficult Zhao Hai found this matter to be, like Green and Merlin. He couldn't do it despite his abilities. If he wanted to do it, it would be difficult.
If you want the Buda family to prosper again, you have to face the suppression of all the old nobles in the entire AKS empire, including the royal family. But at this time, he could not say these words. He could only nod his head vigorously and said: "Don't worry, Grandma Merlin, I will work hard."
Merlin nodded. Nodding, looking at Zhao Hai's appearance, he smiled and said: "God will not destroy our Buda family." , to give you this magical ability, this means that God wants our Buda tribe to prosper again."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "Grandma Mei Lin, I will take care of you. You go somewhere." After saying this, the two of them appeared in the space farm.
Merlin and Green are both people that Zhao Hai can trust completely. He did not take Merlin and the others to the farm before. In addition to keeping it secret, it was because there were many things in the farm. There was no way to explain to Merlin and the others, and Zhao Hai was also afraid. He was afraid that Merlin and the others would find out that he had taken Adam's body. If that was the case, Merlin and Green would kill him immediately.
But now he is not afraid. He knows that Merlin and Green do not doubt him at all, and have regarded him as the hope of the Buda family. After all, he is now the only heir of the Buda family. Even if Green and the others find out that he is Those who seize the body may not touch him, because if the two kill him, it will be equivalent to the destruction of the Buda family. If a noble has no heir, the title of the noble will be taken back by the empire.
Merlin was stunned as soon as he entered the space. When he saw the radishes that had just sprouted on the ground and the corn that was about to mature, his head was really hard to turn around.
Zhao Hai said at this time: "Grandma Meilin, this is the special ability I got. On this piece of land, you can grow food and vegetables. The maturity time of food and vegetables is longer than The outside is much shorter, so I can take out 80,000 kilograms of magic radish in such a short period of time."
Merlin looked at the land, turned to Zhao Hai and said: "Master, take those. Where did you receive the magic radish? "
Zhao Hai pointed to the warehouse and said: "It's all in that room. It's like a space equipment. It can hold a lot of it. Not only is the magic radish packed in, but the supplies I have collected are also stored there, so I can take them out at any time if I want to use them.”
Merlin nodded with bright eyes. To be honest, the capabilities of this warehouse alone surprised her.
Zhao Hai continued: "The land in this space can be used to improve the black soil outside, and water can also be used. Before I improved the black soil, I used a mixture of land and water in this space." Then he walked to the corn field and said: "This is a new plant I planted. I call it corn. If this piece of corn matures, the seeds produced will be enough for us to plant a thousand acres of land." There's some left, but I don't We still need to test whether the corn produced in this space can be used as seeds. The stalks of corn can be used to burn fire. Currently, it is the most suitable plant for us to grow. "
Merlin looked at it. Looking at the piece of corn, her eyes were shining. Of course she understood what Zhao Hai meant. As long as this piece of corn matured and could be planted, they would be able to solve the food problem of these people, and at the same time, they would also have cooking materials. .
Zhao Hai bowed his head and said to Mei Lin: "As long as we find a suitable location, we will first improve a thousand acres of land and then plant corn. When the corn matures, we will not have to worry about food. There is no need to worry about burning materials. When the food is available, we can sell the magic radish. Now that we have the money, our Buda family will be able to grow stronger little by little."
Merlin nodded vigorously, turned to Zhao Hai and said: "Young Master, this matter is yours. Don’t tell others, how many people still know about this?”
Zhao Hai shook his head and said: "Only you, wood and stone have been to this space. Neither Grandpa Green nor Meg have been here."
Merlin nodded and said: "Young Master, you can completely trust, but other people can’t. Master, don’t mention this matter to anyone in the future. , If other people know about this, you will be in danger, young master."
Zhao Hai nodded and said: "Don't worry, Grandma Meilin, I won't tell others about this, let's go out. Well, if the wood comes back and can't find us, we should be worried." After saying this, the two of them appeared at the foot of the mountain again.
