In the north, the cultivated area is square in shape. A respected middle-aged man, with a burly build, personally picked up a shovel and led his men to continuously turn over the land, which is a hundred meters long and wide. They worked hard, sweating profusely, completely ignoring the sudden drop in temperature.
Mike, a senior butler of the Goblin family, is on par with Hrulf and serves as the deputy commander of the Shadow Guard.
However, due to the unfortunate deaths of the three leaders of the Gubang family, the surviving direct descendants fought for power, but were targeted by Minise. In less than three days, the family split apart, the core members were banished from Titan City (presumably to be left to rot in the wilderness), and their property was seized by the Tulip family, who took over everything.
Therefore, reacting quickly, he pledged allegiance to the little fox on Khrushchev's advice and escaped unscathed.
"call out!"
Mike wielded the shovel and skillfully turned over the soil.
Even though he was holding farm tools and doing the rough work of a commoner, he didn't care.
If he were a proper knight, he would naturally understand that what he was doing—wielding farm tools and working in the fields—was an insult to the profession of knight!
However, being appointed by the little fox as the head of the northern planting area was a matter of his future career, which he took very seriously.
After all, those who cared about honor were all persecuted to death by Minnie with a knife (he suspected the little fox was also involved).
Even if you were once a member of the three hundred silver main force, and faced a great purge after the war, if you followed a small or medium-sized family, you would be given a permanent travel ticket for the whole family, and you could walk the road to the underworld with a smile. The most important thing for a family is to be together.
"call!"
He took a deep breath to calm his blood and then used the shovel to cut a straight line.
Yes, it basically involves turning the soil in the middle to both sides to form a trench about 50 centimeters wide and 20 centimeters deep.
In an instant, hundreds of people started working at the same time, digging trenches. Each trench was planned in a strict manner, with at least half a meter between each trench, giving everyone the feeling of a little fox crossing the wasteland in a straight line.
Therefore, if anyone digs a ditch at the wrong angle or in the wrong direction, they will immediately be beaten up by the supervisor.
The most bizarre thing is that there are fifty silver-rank knights in this group. Even though professionals are born with a superior status, Mike sent them up for the sake of efficiency and merit.
Silver-rank knights have smooth blood circulation, and their internal energy forms a virtuous cycle, giving them strong recovery abilities.
Therefore, digging continuously is not a difficult task.
Titan City itself was built on wasteland with loose soil. At the start, use a few magic scrolls to blast it, and with the help of alchemists' auxiliary items, a soft soil will be formed in a short time, still retaining a scorching heat.
Increased soil temperature is also a great benefit to seeds.
"My lord, intelligence has arrived from the South City Manor; they're already pouring out the Purple Orchid Fragrance Liquid!"
Lily's father, a knight serving as his second-in-command, hurriedly approached Mike, who was covered in dirt, and reported.
"What?! Hammer is so fast!?"
Mike exclaimed in alarm, unfolding the step-by-step diagram in his pocket and quickly glancing through it.
The first step is to create square planting areas based on the surrounding environment, including spaciousness, sunlight, and the difficulty of cultivation. The second step is to turn the soil and dig trenches, following a strict layout. The third step is to pour the purple orchid fragrance liquid from the barrels into the trenches and report it to the city lord. The first place winner will receive a special reward.
At the bottom of the step-by-step diagram, there's a sketch of an adorable little fox, making a six with one hand – awesome! Go for it, everyone! (Embarrassing moment)
Suddenly, he turned around, looked at the neat trenches, and waved to proceed to the next step.
He hadn't forgotten that there were competitors in the cabbage-growing industry, vying for the promising future bestowed upon him by the little fox.
Heruff in the western plantation, Hammer in the southern manor, and Jay in the cemetery plantation (actually a part-time job, second-in-command, Black Raven).
"Bang!"
At Mike's command, the group lifted the barrels of liquor that had been transported from the vehicle.
Upon opening the barrel, one finds it filled with a rich, white-purple liquid, resembling the nectar secreted by flowers, silky and smooth.
The Purple Orchid Fragrance Liquid is a mysterious item developed by alchemists led by Natasha, which greatly pleased the little fox.
It is said that the raw materials are mainly slime with purple orchid as an auxiliary ingredient, which are refined through magic, and then the little fox further expanded the production scale.
"Alright, everyone, from now on you must follow my command. Under the glorious light of the City Lord, may Titan City be blessed!"
The alchemist who followed on the chariot smiled elegantly, first flattering the little fox, and then, amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, demonstrating the true uses of the Purple Orchid Fragrance Liquid.
"Splash!"
The membrane fluid was poured in, flowing like a rushing river in a 100-meter-long trench, rapidly flowing from one end to the other.
Then, the fierce current gradually weakened, and the water level rose to about 1 centimeter before it subsided.
Everyone: "..."
"Ahem, the real use is waiting for the great little fox city lord to exert his power... Don't look at me, I'm only responsible for guidance, I don't know anything else."
The alchemist chuckled awkwardly, gleaning a deeper meaning from the astonished looks of the knights around him.
That's it?
"Since it is the city lord's will, we will naturally do as he says."
Mike eased the alchemist's embarrassment by leading a group of twitching-mouthed subordinates, carrying barrels of wine, and pouring the violet-scented liquid into the ditch.
The white-purple lubricating liquid is transparent, clear, and moisturizing. When applied to the back of the hand, it brings a slight cooling sensation if a breeze blows.
Soon, to Mike's astonishment, the purple orchid-scented liquid on the back of his hand suddenly solidified.
"The properties of slime and orchid? But... it's unlikely that vegetables can be grown with these properties, right?"
Mike asked suspiciously, tearing off the thin film on the back of his hand, slightly surprised.
Slime is the dead slime that expands into a liquid state when it absorbs heat, based on the principle of thermal expansion and contraction.
However, the properties of this purple orchid fragrance liquid are the opposite; it absorbs heat and solidifies.
"Cough cough!"
Suddenly, a knight clutched his throat and collapsed to the ground, struggling violently.
Although he was saved by drinking cold water and swallowed the membrane in his throat, his eyes were filled with fear as he stared at the barrel of wine with a panicked look.
When his colleagues asked him with concern why he had accidentally ingested the purple orchid fragrance liquid, his reply, "Because it looks like jam, it might taste better spread on bread," resulted in him having half of his salary deducted for the week.
Hey, what kind of fruit sauce is similar to this? You have so many quirks!
At the same time, some knights secretly poured the collected purple orchid fragrance liquid into the ditch, exchanged glances, and breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, this smooth film can be used as a lubricant at night...
