Chapter 230 Using magic to do farm work

Vincent chose a good location. This village is half a day's journey from the main city, and a whole day passed by going back and forth. Cress didn't have that much free time to spend more than two days with these maids.

Felicia also planned to stay in the countryside for a day and night this time, and come back the next day with an ox cart filled with grain.

Azarez was naturally worried about her. He originally wanted to come over to accompany her tonight, but Felicia refused. As long as Cress didn't come, she was not in danger in the countryside and no one could threaten her.

Although there is a war outside, the war is not serious, and the food in the early settlement can still be maintained, so the lives of the civilians are not affected too much, and they still work at sunrise and rest at sundown.

The scene of farmers working was very new to these young noble ladies. They lived a life of luxury and luxury and had never thought about how common people would survive. But now that they saw it for the first time, they felt curious.

Everyone was lying on the small window looking out.

The blue sky, the gentle breeze, the warm sunshine, Karona felt everything, and her brows that had not been relaxed these days finally slowly calmed down.

"I never knew there was such beautiful scenery in the countryside before." Karona sighed softly as she looked at the endless wheat fields.

Felissa is different from these young ladies. She knows very well that this beautiful scenery represents endless labor.

"Soon you won't be in the mood to enjoy the scenery." Felissa said calmly.

Karona knew what Felissa meant, and she nodded: "I know."

When they arrived at the place that Vincent had arranged for the maids to stay, even though Felissa was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but be startled.

This is not a place for people to live at all. This is a warehouse used to store food. Probably because the food that was previously placed here has been shipped out, this warehouse is empty and is used as a sleeping place. After all, there is no

No other place can accommodate so many people.

Felicia frowned slightly: "The conditions seem a bit more difficult."

Not just some, even in the City Lord's Mansion, although you will be persecuted, the living conditions are not too bad anyway, not as good as before, but there are beds and tables in the rooms, but now there is only a layer of tiles above the head.

Apart from that, there is nothing else.

Is it possible that people have to make bunks and sleep directly on the ground? A day or two is fine, but staying for a long time does not seem to be good for people. Not to mention there are no windows to prevent light, and it is cold and humid, Felicia

It seemed that I also heard the sound of mice.

Others were also frightened by such accommodation conditions, and complained loudly, but perhaps because of their experiences these days, they only dared to keep their complaints muffled in their mouths.

Only Karona's eyebrows remained unchanged, and she seemed to accept such accommodation conditions calmly.

"This place is not suitable for people to live in." Felissa looked at Karona and said, thinking that she had not realized the harshness of the environment.

"I know," Karona nodded, "but do we have any other choice?"

If they don't live here, they have to go back to the City Lord's Mansion. Before they came out, Vincent said that if they regretted it, they could follow Felicia back to the city the next day. Anyway, there were many rooms in the City Lord's Mansion, but no one was there.

But Karona knew that although Vincent had protected them in the past few days, Vincent could not always protect them. He would have to suffer that kind of thing again within a few days of returning to a peaceful life. Compared with the current situation, it was nothing more.

Half a catty or eight taels.

But now they can still fight for it.

"Let's go find the person in charge here first." Karona turned and walked outside the warehouse. "You guys first observe the surrounding environment."

Karona had already established her own prestige, and the maids soon dispersed and moved around as they pleased according to her instructions.

Felissa followed Karona to find the person in charge of this farmland.

It was not difficult to find him. I just asked a few farmers working in the fields and found the village chief.

The village chief is a skinny old man with a stooped back and a face full of grooves, but his eyes reveal a shrewd light.

Karona asked politely if she could provide a room, but the village chief was straightforward and said directly: "No problem, just pay, one hundred copper coins per night."

This price is really outrageous. The room Felissa and Azarez are currently living in only costs 500 copper coins a month. This is a blatant money grab.

Of course, Karona didn't want to be taken advantage of, so she asked in a deep voice: "So you just plan to take advantage of the situation, right?"

"That's right." The village chief admitted frankly, "We won't have one person here in the past few hundred years. There are so many of you. We can kill you whenever we don't want to kill you. If it's too expensive, you don't have to stay. Anyway, Lord City Lord

We are not asked to provide rooms to you."

The so-called Lord of the City should refer to Vincent. Vincent's current function in the city is indeed that of Lord of the City.

It seems that Vincent is deliberately training...or training these maids, deliberately throwing them into a harsh environment and forcing them to grow up? Felissa guessed.

In fact, Felissa wanted to speak for Karona, but after thinking that she could help Karona once, she couldn't help her every time, so she shut her mouth and saw how Karona would deal with it.

After being frustrated, Karona's brain thought quickly, and then settled for the next best thing: "At least provide us with beds and bedding, and you can buy them with money."

Seeing that Karona was so understanding, the village chief snorted: "There is no need to buy it with money, just work. The city lord said that whatever you want, you must use labor to exchange for it."

It seems that Vincent has left some living space for these maids, otherwise it would be too difficult for them to live in that kind of warehouse without providing anything.

As for labor, what labor?

The village chief took Karona and Felissa to the edge of the wheat field and pointed at the endless wheat field: "See, after harvesting this field of wheat, we will give you what we should give you."

This wheat field is huge, and although the sun is warm, you will still feel the heat rushing to your head if you stand for a long time. Even so, there are already villagers working in the fields early in the morning.

"I'm going to call someone." Karona stood at the edge of the wheat field for a while, weighed the workload, and then made a decision immediately.

Everyone arrived, but soon they encountered another problem.

If they don’t have tools, do they have to use their hands? This is too embarrassing.

However, Felissa tasted Vincent's plan.

"Magic," Felissa reminded softly, "the wind blade formed by wind magic can be used as a sickle."

The words awakened the dreamer, and Karona immediately conducted an experiment. The wind blade could indeed cut the wheat straw, so that they could carry out harvesting work even if they had no tools.

Just this wind blade cut less than half a meter. Add in the time of chanting, and the skilled villagers would have cut two or three meters away.

Able to do farm work and practice magic, Vincent is indeed very good at this skill.
