Chapter Eighteen

Two days had passed since the army arrived at Blackstone Town. Lark and his soldiers still hadn’t returned.

Mikael had adjusted to the life here. Using a made up story of his previous life in the Lion City, he pretended to be an immigrant who wished for a peaceful life in the country side. For the past two days, he worked as a miner. This was an easy task, since knights like him have several times the strength of an average individual. Very quickly, his ´talent´ in mining was recognized by everyone.

“Look at that guy,” a familiar voice spat. “He’s just a greenhorn. It’s not even a week since he started working here and he’s already being so familiar with the Scholar. What an ass.”

The owner of the voice did not bother lowering his voice. Mikael was sure those were all directed at him. For the past two days, this man had been badmouthing him nonstop.

The miner next to Mikael shook his head. “Don’t mind him. Arturo’s like that ever since.” He cast a glance at Arturo, a short, muscular man in his early thirties. “I heard he’s got some Dwarven blood in him. Those guys are really proud of their blacksmithing and mining skills, you see.”

Even if the miner did not tell him these things, Mikael had not the slightest bit of intention of fighting him. It would be nothing but a petty squabble, after all.

Mikael was more interested of other things. “Is it true that the northern farmlands were non-arable several months ago?”

The miner, whose name Mikael did not yet know, nodded his head. His pickaxe struck a hard object in the ground and he stopped. “Yes and no. There used to be a small field there where we plant vegetables and herbs. But aside from that, the rest of the northern land is non-arable. Even weeds find it hard to grow on that soil.”

Hearing this, Mikael could not help but be bewildered of the things happening in this town.

He visited the Northern Farmlands yesterday, and he was surprised to see a field of green covering everything. Numerous small shoots grew on the ground, each of them spaced evenly from each other. He had been to Golden Wheat City before – the richest city in the entire Kingdom, next only to the Capital – and he was sure those shoots were wheats. In the next few months, those things would grow and cover the entire northern lands with a shade of gold.

Looking further beyond, Mikael noticed an artificially made river – the irrigation system – running next to the fields. It branched into numerous forks, with several stoppers at each path, controlling the amount of water passing through. Mikael later learned that the irrigation system was connected to the abundant river from the Endless Forest. With this, even if drought befell this town, the crops would not easily wither and die. He could not help but gape in awe upon seeing this spectacular sight.

It’s as though one of the three Great Minds of the Kingdom visited this place and created a reconstruction program.
