Rachel moved her chair closer to Todra, resting her arms on the table. Looking at the priest in the dim firelight, she smiled and said, “Randall isn’t suited to knightly combat skills, so I’ll have some suitable people train him. There are many things to consider before the mission. First, the mission location and communication methods—we can’t just let him wander the plains looking for villains, can we? Next is identity secrecy; we need to prepare a set of clothes and a mask for him. Considering his special abilities, I don’t plan to sew too much fabric into his clothes. Then there’s the Inquisition and the Relief Society. As Randall’s achievements and reputation grow, the Church and the Relief Society will inevitably come looking for him one day, so we must be prepared. And then there are weapons and equipment, secret outposts, support teams, post-mission handling, and so on…”
Seeing Todd somewhat stunned by her string of words, Rachel winked mischievously: "Now you should know that creating a mutant hero isn't as simple as you imagined, right? You should really thank me for being here..."
Todd raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Well, Miss Rachel, thank you so much for your help. Is there anything I can do for you?"
“Let me think… In a few days, Karin and I will be opening our hotel, and I hope you can provide more ‘recipes’…”

"Grand Master, the cultivators wish to see you."
Todd looked up from the table at Huggins in the doorway and said, "Let them in."
The man looked at the size of the room and said with difficulty, "This room might not be big enough for them."
Upon hearing this, Todd stood up in surprise and followed Huggins to the church chapel, where he was startled by what he saw.
Fifty-five monks filled the entire hall, and upon seeing the priest appear, they all gathered around.
The leading cultivator, who appeared to be the person in charge, was the first to approach him.
He said, “Lord Todd, my name is Joe Humphrey. We have been here for many days to spread the knowledge of our Father, but we have not been assigned any work. We hope to do something within our power.”
Another cultivator chimed in, "That's right. We've been walking around Muxi Town these past few days and found that the fields near the town are all barren and uncultivated."
Todd's original intention was that these monks, after adapting to life in Muxi Town, could gradually take on the administrative work of the Knights. But upon hearing the two men's words, he suddenly remembered that the monks in medieval monasteries, having long engaged in agricultural labor, did indeed possess a relatively advanced level of knowledge in agriculture.
Todd moved a chair from the pulpit, put down what he was doing, and chatted with the monks for a while, only to find that they had offered many very useful suggestions.
Some monks suggested that, considering the fertile soil of the fields in Muxi Town, which have been uncultivated for many years, they should build heavy plows to replace manual plows and change the original single-field system to a three-field system: one field should be left fallow; one field should be planted in autumn, mainly with wheat, rye, and barley; and one field should be planted in spring, mostly with oats and legumes.
Some monks suggested that the eastern part of Muxi Town is mostly plains, suitable for growing pasture and grazing sheep and dairy cows. The virtuous cycle of pasture fertility and livestock manure ensures fertilizer supply, which can greatly improve livestock feeding and dairy production.
Some of the monks suggested that a couple had recently opened a shop in town selling rare items from the south. They discovered two types of seeds they had never seen before, which they heard were called sorghum and mulberry seeds, and suggested that perhaps they could try planting some.
Todd chatted with these monks for the entire afternoon, not even having time for dinner.
The next morning, a notice was posted on the church's bulletin board.
"The town of Muxi plans to establish a monks' association. The Muxi Mutual Aid Society intends to invest 500 silver months in the association for initial preparations and personnel expenses. We are now recruiting farmers, herdsmen, and clothworkers from the residents of Muxi Town."
