Soon, Wayne brought them to the south of the lake below Kaer Morhen, where there was a flat open space where he planned to grow magical vegetables.
After arriving at the location, Wayne looked at these giant men who were basically shirtless, only wearing a few pieces of animal skins as shorts, and with a little dew on their bodies. He waved his hand, and a pile of coats and long shirts made of rough linen canvas appeared on the ground.
The material of these clothes is very rough. Their only advantage is that they are strong and durable. They are all styles that giants can wear. They were originally used to build tents or for other industrial purposes.
However, it is just right to be used as clothes for these giants. At least it is much better than the tattered and smelly animal skins they are wearing.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. It is not that Mr. Wayne is reluctant to spend this little money, he just wants to better manage these ferocious giants.
"These clothes are given to you as a reward. If you work hard, you will get all kinds of good things. In the future, you will understand that if you want to live a good life, looting is not the only way."
"Earning money with your own hands is the right way."
As the saying goes, you need to use both the carrot and the stick. When facing the giants under your command, you cannot just use fear and oppression. You must always give them some sweet benefits.
Faced with the clothes given by the master, the giant named Baboon, without even looking at them, was the first to kneel down and express gratitude. Looking at his skillful movements, it was obvious that he had learned the true skills from Glass.
"Thank you for the reward, Master."
The other giants seemed a little dumb, until they saw the leading baboon kneel down, then they followed suit and expressed their gratitude.
Wayne didn't bother too much with these big guys. With another wave of his hand, some super-large farm tools specially made according to the size of these giants appeared in front of them.
A large amount of steel was used to make these farm tools, all of which were made by Wayne himself.
After seeing these tools, the leading baboon and others breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that their master only asked them to come and work, rather than do anything dangerous.
Without much instruction, these giants, led by Baboon, began to pick up tools, reclaim the wasteland, level the ground, and transform this open space near the water source into farmland suitable for planting.
Of course, as a reward for the master-level treasure chest, the magic vegetable seeds are extremely precious. Such important things cannot all be handed over to the giant to manage. The two beautiful tree girls he brought back were prepared for this purpose.
"These are truly magical plant seeds, Lord Wayne. I can feel that the inside of these seeds is filled with powerful vitality and a thirst for magic power."
Aigles held the seeds of the magic pumpkin that Wayne handed to her in her hand. She observed carefully and said with emotion: "Lord Wayne, I can feel that these magical plants are very compatible with the magic of our tree spirits. Our magic power should be very helpful for their growth."
"However, we have planted other crops in the forest before. According to our previous experience, we must first choose a fertile land, and it is best to wait until the plant seeds germinate before burying them in the soil."
“The seeds of different plants need different seasons to be planted.”
"Otherwise, it won't grow normally."
Agnes spoke slowly and in a gentle tone. As a healer among the dryads, she was quite familiar with all matters other than combat.
At this time, she was wearing a black hunting suit made of cotton and animal skins. She had a slender figure, and even in such a slightly bloated outfit, she still looked tall and graceful, very beautiful.
Marika, her partner, wore a set of tough rhinoceros leather armor, carried a longbow and quiver on her back, and had two scimitars on her waist. She always kept a vigilant eye on the working giants, and it was obvious that she was still wary of these monsters.
Wayne shook his head when he heard this.
"It doesn't take that much trouble to grow these vegetables. Let me show you how."
He smiled and took out a carrot seed from the bag of seeds given to Agnes, then squatted in a small piece of farmland that the giants had already cultivated and buried the seed in the soil, about twenty to thirty centimeters deep.
Then he took out his magic wine flask, adjusted it to the mana potion slot, and poured the blue potion on the soil above the seeds like fertilizer.
The chaos magic that the demon hunter possesses is too violent. It is difficult to transfer it to other objects in a peaceful way without a medium.
However, the mana potions brought back from Azeroth are very useful. These mild magic powers are very suitable for the growth of magical vegetables. Using them to promote the sprouting of vegetables can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
However, this thing is too valuable, and it is definitely not worth using it to grow vegetables. It can only be used as a demonstration, or when there are more raw materials in the future, lower-level mana potions can be made to stimulate the growth of magical vegetables.
Seeing Wayne pouring blue potion on the seeds, Agnes squatted aside curiously. Even Marika couldn't help but glance at the farmland. She crossed her arms and held her round chest high.
Wayne stopped talking and just waited quietly for the result with the two beautiful maidens.
He had already tested these seeds at home, and they were just as described in the system. They had very little demand on the outside world. As long as they were buried in the soil and infused with magic power, they would grow quickly.
There are a total of ten varieties in this bag of magic vegetable seeds, including carrots, pumpkins, corn, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, peanuts, and even watermelons and beets.
They are all varieties that can be recycled and produce their own seeds. As long as they are carefully cared for, the seeds of the magic vegetables will increase in number and there is no need to worry about them becoming extinct.
Sure enough, under the watchful eyes of the two beautiful tree girls, in less than two minutes, the soil above the magic radish seeds suddenly began to loosen, and a green plant branch emerged from the soil. Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, it grew to more than ten centimeters high, lush green, and quite cute.
Wayne chuckled, and then did the same thing again. Together with the two beautiful girls from Shumei, he used the other nine types of seeds to sprout more than a dozen sprouts, using about one-tenth of the seeds.
When a small piece of farmland was completely covered with fresh branches, Wayne patted Agnes and Marika's buttocks and said to the two beautiful tree girls:
"This piece of farmland is your experimental field. You can study how to speed up the growth of these magical plants. Once you have concluded a relatively complete planting process, we can consider large-scale planting."
As he spoke, Wayne waved at the giant leader Baboon who was working. After the giant came running over, he said to the two beautiful girls, "The task of growing magical vegetables is now handed over to you two. This giant's name is Baboon. You will be in charge of him and his twenty giants. Transform this area into a large vegetable planting area."
This was the first task Wayne gave them. Of course, the two beautiful Shumei girls had no objection and agreed obediently.
The giant leader named Baboon did not dare to raise any objection. He knelt down on the ground and greeted his new boss.
After dealing with the giant village and magical vegetables, Wayne came to the magic node located in the back mountain of Kaermohen.
Triss, wearing a purple dress, was studying the magic maze that Wayne had given her.
After seeing the man coming over, the red-haired woman's frown relaxed slightly, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she said to him with a very emotional tone: "My dear, the magic artifact you found is really too profound and powerful. It is more powerful than the magic barrier of Aretusa Academy where I study."
"I've studied it for a long time, but I still can't figure out its principle. However, with the help of its auxiliary intelligence, basic-level applications can be carried out now."
"According to the magic power reserves provided by this magic node, we can probably activate about 40% of the power of this magic device and build a maze area with a diameter of 50 kilometers."
"Within this area, we can block teleportation spells and build a powerful blockade barrier to prevent outside creatures from entering. As for the enemies we identify within the barrier, we can also suppress their strength, add various negative effects to them, cut off their magic power supply, and reduce their strength by half or even more. It is a very powerful magic barrier."
Triss patted her chest with some joy and some lingering fear as she spoke, "In short, as long as we are within the range of the barrier, it is basically impossible for anyone to defeat us here. Other spellcasters are like being banned from magic in the entire area. They are unable to use spells at all and have become no different from ordinary people."
Wayne nodded and walked to Triss's side. As his most trusted sorceress, Triss was given a secondary control ring with the second authority of the maze magic circle. When he was not here, the maze magic circle was basically left to her to maintain.
Wayne was of course aware of the power of this magic circle. Even in the world of Faerun, it was an extremely powerful magic item, a bug-level existence. Moreover, this was not the top-level maze lock. It was said that the highest-level maze lock could even imprison gods.
Wayne reached out and stroked Triss's long red hair, and asked in a gentle tone:
"Dear, how long will it take you to activate it? Now that we have this tool, the devices that track the giants can be put on hold for the time being. You can use this time to deal with other problems."
"I will not send out these giants in large numbers in the short term."
Triss reached out and held Wayne's hand that was stroking her hair, then put it against her chest. She sighed with some embarrassment and said, "I'm not completely sure either. As a sorceress, I'm still too young and not experienced enough."
"Unfortunately, this magical equipment is too powerful and too precious. If other warlocks knew about it, they would definitely covet it and have inappropriate thoughts about it. It must be kept secret."
The red-haired beauty leaned her head on Wayne's shoulder and said with some pride and some anger:
"I don't know which world you got such a treasure from. Such a good thing must not be so easy to get."
"Give me a month. If I still fail to activate it after a month, I will have to ask our principal, Ms. Margaret, or the former principal, Ms. Dishaya, for help."
Upon hearing this, Wayne held Triss's head, kissed her on the cheek, and said encouragingly:
"I believe you, dear."
"There is no rush for this matter. You can spend three months or even half a year on it."
"Moreover, as the chief warlock of our witcher cult, I grant you the right to recruit other warlocks."
"You can recommend some trustworthy warlocks to me. Maybe you can even set up a warlock academy yourself."
"You are someone I trust, and I am willing to let you go and realize your ideas."
Triss was deeply moved by Wayne's words. You have to know that this is the Middle Ages, an era in which men are generally superior to women and the status of women is very low.
Even though sorceresses have a higher status because they possess great power, they will still be slandered, despised and excluded by men. It is undoubtedly a very happy thing to be able to find a lover who supports them in pursuing their own career in this era.
Soon, more than half a month had passed.
With Wayne in charge, the giants didn't dare to cause any trouble. They all obeyed the leadership of Berengar and the two beautiful ladies and worked honestly.
Things were progressing quite quickly in both the magic vegetable plantation and the giant village.
Especially the matter of magic vegetables. Because of the maintenance of Aegles' magic, she often released druid's plant growth magic on that small experimental field. In just half a month, all the magic vegetables matured.
Unlike ordinary vegetables, magical vegetables are very large in size and have an astonishingly high yield. There are half-meter-long corns, potatoes as big as pumpkins, peanuts the size of fists, and even pumpkins that are almost as tall as ordinary humans.
It's just like the vegetables in the Land of Giants. Each vegetable has been enlarged by ten or twenty times its original size. Although the number of fruits is about the same as that of ordinary vegetables, the food obtained from growing them has also increased by more than ten times.
As for the taste, it can only be said to be just so-so. Perhaps because they are ripened too quickly, the taste of these magical vegetables lacks a sense of harmony compared to ordinary vegetables. However, if they are just used as food, they are definitely more than enough and can be considered nutritious.
Under the command of Berengar, the giant village has built dozens of wooden houses and corresponding facilities.
After having a real place to live, the labor force of these giants was freed up. Some of them were assigned to the castle of Kaermorhen to transform and repair the entire wolf castle, while other giants were arranged to fish, chop wood and mine.
With the addition of these laborers, the entire Kaermohen can be said to have entered an orderly and self-sufficient stage.
