Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 21

[Chapter 21 The problem of lake water]

evening, Zhao Hai woke up. It was already dark at this time, and Merlin and the others also came back. In order to save some supplies, Merlin and the others usually do not go out at night, even if they don’t use the magic stone. For lighting, torches or oil lamps are used, and oil is needed, and now they have to save every bit of supplies.

When Zhao Hai woke up, the sky was already a little dark. Those slaves had already eaten, and they could move freely in the castle until they went to bed at night. Anyway, they didn’t have to worry about them escaping. Let them relax. Just a moment is fine.

Now those slaves are sitting in the courtyard of the castle chatting. Compared with other places, they live a life like paradise here. They can eat enough every day, do not have to do too heavy work, and have enough rest time every day. , they like this day so much.

Originally came here, they are still a little desperate, what is the situation in the black soil wasteland, although they are slaves, they have also heard that there is nothing long here, there is only a barren mountain, and it is next to the carrion swamp, such a place is a dead place , they always thought that they would starve to death in the future when they arrived in such a place.

But they didn’t expect that even though they had only been here for two days, they could see clearly that their master was really too capable. He could use magical magic to turn those black soils that couldn’t grow into fertile ones. Tian, you don’t have to worry about starving to death in the future.

These people are just slaves. They have seen people use magic there. In their impression, magicians are omnipotent, and magic is amazing.

Better living conditions than before, treating them like commoners, and being able to get rid of the temptation of slave status, coupled with incomparably magical magic, these things together are enough to make these slaves loyal to Zhao Hai. Among them, a great cohesion has been formed. Now these slaves are no longer passively working, but are thinking about working more and breaking away from the status of slaves earlier.

Zhao Hai stood quietly at the castle and looked at the slaves outside. He wanted to go up and chat with these slaves, but he also knew that now is not the time. These slaves have been oppressed. When they see the nobles, they will be very nervous. , don’t talk to them anymore, I’m afraid they will kneel there again, and they won’t dare to raise their heads.

It’s easy to change someone’s identity, but it’s hard to change their minds. It’s a long-term process to change their minds little by little, so Zhao Hai doesn’t have any contact with those slaves now. , the time has not yet come.

To do anything, you must pay attention to a step-by-step process. If you are too hasty, things may fail. Even if it is successful, it may cause an unstable foundation.

Undoubtedly, the hope of completing land improvement and breaking away from slave status made the lives of these slaves full of hope, and they were not as lifeless as when they first arrived.

Zhao Hai likes to see the performance of those slaves. Only those who are full of hope can be creative and maximize their abilities.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, Zhao Hai came back to his senses and said solemnly: “Come in.” The

door was pushed open, Meg stood in front of the door, looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Master, dinner is ready. , it’s time to eat.” Wood and Stone were still standing outside the door, guarding the door for Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai nodded, he also knew that it was almost time to eat, but Zhao Hai was really a little bit unhappy. In the past two days, Merlin and the others were not only busy managing those slaves, but also cooking for him, which was really tiring. .

But Zhao Hai can cook, but he doesn’t dare to do it. Don’t forget his identity. He is now a dummy who opens his mouth with food, and stretches out his hand with clothes. What kind of meal can he do? He has space ability, which makes sense, after all This is a continent where magic and fighting spirit coexist. There are all kinds of strange people. His ability is not particularly conspicuous, but if he suddenly knows how to cook, it will arouse the suspicion of Merlin and Meg.

Several people poured down the restaurant and found that Merlin and the others had already set up their meals, still bread and some vegetables, with a piece of meat and a soup.

To be honest, a native Chinese is really not used to this kind of thing, but there is no way, even if Ye Hai wants to eat Chinese food, no one can do it, only he can do it himself, but he does not dare to be depressed.

After eating a few bites, Zhao Hai said, “Grandma Meilin, I think what we did today is too rash. It’s better not to improve the land here tomorrow.”

Merlin was stunned and looked at Zhao Hai in confusion: “What’s the matter, young master? Why do you say that? Is it not possible to improve the land? If the land cannot be improved, what should we do?”

Zhao Hai understood what she meant, and he immediately said: “Grandma Merlin, I think you misunderstood, I It’s not that we can’t improve the land, but we can’t improve near the castle. You think, our current strength is still too weak. If those guys find out that we can turn this place into a land that can be cultivated, they will let go Are we? We’ll be finished by then.”

Merlin has also seen big winds and waves. Today, she was just overwhelmed by the joy of improving the land, so she didn’t think about it for a while. Now, as soon as Zhao Hai reminded her, Merlin immediately Understand what Zhao Hai means, Zhao Hai is right, if the old nobles of the emperor find that they can improve the land here, they will definitely deal with them, and they will be finished by then.

Although it is said that the Buda family has signed an agreement with the empire, it must be under the premise that the Buda family has an heir. If a noble family has no heir, then the noble title of this family will be taken back by the king, then The fiefs will naturally be taken back.

It is this truth that every husband is innocent, but he is guilty.

Merlin put down his knife and fork, nodded and said, “Young master is right, it’s because we didn’t think about it, we just focused on improving our lives, forgetting that those old-fashioned nobles might not let us go like this, then your master What do you mean?”

Now Merlin has paid more and more attention to Zhao Hai’s opinion, because Zhao Hai has indeed done a lot of things in the past few days, and he has done everything in a well-thought-out manner. In addition to his strange ability, Before they knew it, Merlin and the others had already regarded Zhao Hai as the backbone.

Zhao Hai also put down the cutlery, wiped his mouth lightly with a napkin, and then said: “The improvement of the land still needs to be carried out, but it can’t be improved around the castle, it is too conspicuous. It is too easy to be discovered. I want to look around to see if there is any place around it. It is very hidden and can be improved. It does not need a large place. As long as there are about 1,000 mu, it can almost satisfy us here. It’s not easy for people to find out.”

Merlin nodded and said: “Young master is right, then tomorrow I will have someone look for it and see if there are any suitable places around, then young master, let’s Do you still keep blue-eyed rabbits and scaleless fish?”

Zhao Hai said solemnly: “You must keep it, anyway, scaleless fish are very easy to keep, and those people won’t find anything, and blue-eyed rabbits are even more important. If we want to raise them, they will only think that we are struggling to the death and will not care too much.”

Merlin nodded and said, “Okay, but there is a problem with the water. I found that our moat does not seem to have any problems. What kind of fish, even if there are no fish in the lake in the cave, it seems very wrong?”

Zhao Hai was stunned, it was the first time he thought of this question, he used to be an otaku, not a professional fisherman, so the most I didn’t notice this at first. On the contrary, Merlin, the water magician, noticed it.

Zhao Hai is a little puzzled. It stands to reason that there should be a lot of fish in the moat and the mountain lake. There is no problem with the water quality. He has already analyzed this in the space. How can there be no fish?

Zhao Hai said to Merlin in a puzzled way: “Grandma Meilin, do you know why? That water is fine. I have analyzed it. It is a very good water source and is completely suitable for fish to survive. If there are no fish, this is a bit unreasonable, right?”

Merlin frowned and said after a while: “There are generally no fish in the water, there are only two possibilities, one is that the water is poisonous and is not suitable for fish to survive, and the other is that there are ferocious creatures in the water. The water-type monsters devoured all the fish, if it is true as the young master said, if there is no poison in the water, then there is only the second possibility, and there are ferocious water-type monsters in the water.”

Zhao Hai thought about it carefully, and also felt that what Merlin said was very reasonable. He remembered that when he was on Earth, he had read a news that a fisherman’s fish pond had entered two very powerful carnivorous fish. If he ate all the fish in his pond, there might be some kind of monster here too. If this is the case, it would be a hassle.

Seeing Zhao Hai frowning, Merlin knew what Zhao Hai was thinking, and Merlin comforted him: “Master, in fact, this is not difficult to solve, if it is poisonous in the water, we will not be able to solve it. If there is a monster playing tricks, then we just need to find the monster and kill him.”

Zhao Hai smiled bitterly, his thoughts were just the opposite of Merlin’s, if the water was poisonous, he could use spatial water It was easy to detoxify, but if there were monsters in the water, it would be really troublesome.

Seeing Zhao Hai’s frowning expression, Merlin couldn’t help but smile and said, “Don’t worry, young master, if there is a monster in the water, I will definitely find it and kill it, it will not affect the young master’s fish farming plan.

Zhao Hai was taken aback when he heard what Merlin said, and then he realized that this is not the earth. On earth, if you want to go down into the sea to kill a deep sea beast, it is not so easy, but here It was the Ark Continent. There was very powerful magic here, and Merlin happened to be a powerful water magician. Maybe he really had a way to destroy the monsters in the water.
