Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 21 The problem of lake water

In the evening, Zhao Hai woke up. By this time, it was getting dark. Merlin and the others had also returned. In order to save some supplies, Merlin and the others usually did not go out for activities at night. Even if they did not use magic stones for lighting, they would just use Torches or oil lamps also require oil, and now they have to save every bit of supplies.

When Zhao Hai woke up, it was already getting dark. The slaves had already eaten. For the rest of the period until going to bed at night, they could move around freely in the castle. Anyway, there was no need to worry about them escaping, so they could relax. Just a moment is fine.

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

When Ben came here, they were still a little desperate. What was the situation here in the Black Wasteland? Although they were slaves, they had heard that nothing grew here. There was only a barren mountain and it was next to the corpse swamp. Such a place was a place of death. , they always thought that when they arrived in such a place, they would starve to death in the future.

But they didn't expect that even though they had just been here for two days, they could see clearly that their master was really capable. He could use magical magic to turn the black soil that could not grow anything into fertile and good soil. Tian, ​​you don’t have to worry about starving to death in the future.

These people are just slaves. They have seen people using magic. In their impression, magicians are omnipotent and magic is extremely magical.

Better living conditions than before, treating them like civilians, being able to get rid of the temptation of slave status, and adding incomparable magic. These things combined are enough to make these slaves loyal to Zhao Hai, invisibly Among them, a great cohesion was formed. Now these slaves no longer work passively, but are thinking about working more and getting rid of the status of slaves as soon as possible.

Zhao Hai stood quietly in the castle and looked at the slaves outside. He wanted to go up and chat with these slaves, but he also knew that now was not the time. These slaves had been oppressed and they would be very nervous when they saw the nobles. , let alone chatting with them, I'm afraid they will kneel there again, not daring to raise their heads.

It is easy to change a person's identity, but it is difficult to change their thoughts. It is a long-term process to change their thoughts bit by bit, so Zhao Hai has no contact with those slaves now. , the time has not come yet.

Everything must be done in a step-by-step process. If you are too aggressive, things may go wrong. Even if you succeed, the foundation may be unstable.

Undoubtedly, the completion of land improvement and the hope of escaping from slave status made the lives of these slaves full of hope, and they were no longer 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 can maximize their abilities.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Zhao Hai came to his senses and said in a deep voice: "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 go and eat." Wood and stone still stood 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 really felt a little bit sorry. In the past two days, Merlin and the others were not only busy managing the slaves, but also cooking for him. They were really tired. .

But although Zhao Hai can cook, he doesn't dare to do it. Don't forget his identity. He is now a dude who can open his mouth when eating and stretch out his clothes. How can he cook? It makes sense that he has spatial powers. After all, This is a continent where magic and fighting spirit coexist, and there are all kinds of strange people. His ability is not particularly outstanding, but if he suddenly knows how to cook, it will arouse the suspicion of Merlin and Meg.

Several people opened the dining room and found that Merlin and the others had already put all the food on the table, including bread and some vegetables, plus a piece of meat and a soup.

To be honest, a native Chinese person is really not used to eating this kind of food, but there is no way. Even if Ye Hai wants to eat Chinese food, no one can do it. He is the only one who can do it, but he doesn't dare to do it, which makes him depressed.

After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Zhao Hai said: "Grandma Mei Lin, I think what we did today was too reckless. It would be better for us not to improve the land here tomorrow."

Merlin was stunned and looked at Zhao Hai in confusion: "What's wrong, young master? Why do you say that? Can't we improve the land anymore? What should we do if we can't improve the land?"

Zhao Hai understood what she meant, and he immediately said: "Grandma Merlin, I think you misunderstood. It's not that I can't improve the land, but that I can't improve it near the castle. Think about it, 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, will they let us go? Then we will be finished."

Merlin has also seen big storms. Today she was just carried away by the joy of improving the land, so she didn't think about it for a while. Now when Zhao Hai reminded her, Merlin immediately understood what Zhao Hai meant. Zhao Hai said That's right. If the old nobles of the Emperor find out that they can improve the land here, they will definitely come to deal with them, and they will be finished by then.

Although 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, the family's noble title will be taken back by the king. Then The fiefdom will naturally be taken back.

It is this principle that a common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade in his possession.

Merlin put down his knife and fork, nodded and said: "Young Master is right. We didn't think enough about it. We were only thinking about improving our lives. We forgot that those old nobles might not let us go just like that. So, Master, what's your point?" What do you mean?"

Now Merlin has paid more and more attention to Zhao Hai's opinions, because Zhao Hai has indeed done a lot of things in the past few days, and he has done everything in a orderly manner. Coupled with his strange ability, he has unknowingly Among them, Merlin and the others have regarded Zhao Hai as their backbone.

Zhao Hai also put down the tableware, wiped his mouth gently with a napkin, and then said: "Improving the land still needs to be carried out, but it cannot be improved around the castle. It is too conspicuous. Anyone who comes in can see it at a glance. It's too easy to be discovered. I want to look around to see if there is any place around here that is very hidden and can be improved. It doesn't need to be a big place. As long as it has about a thousand acres, it can be enough for us here. It meets people’s needs, so it’s not easy to be discovered.”

Merlin nodded and said, "Young Master is right. I'll have people look around tomorrow to see if there are any suitable places around here. Master, can we raise blue-eyed rabbits and scaleless fish?"

Zhao Hai said in a deep voice: "Keep it, you must raise it. Scaleless fish are very easy to raise anyway, and those people won't notice anything. Blue-eyed rabbits are even more important. They will only think that we are dying." I won’t care too much about the struggle.”

Merlin nodded and said: "Okay, but there is something wrong with the water. I found that there seems to be no fish in our moat, and there are no fish even in the lake in the cave. This seems very wrong?"

Zhao Hai was stunned. This was the first time he thought of this problem. He used to be just an otaku, not a professional fisherman, so he didn't notice this at first. On the contrary, Merlin, a water magician, noticed it.

Zhao Hai was a little confused. Logically speaking, there should be a lot of fish in the moat and the mountain lake. There was no problem with the water quality. He had already analyzed this in space. How could there be no fish?

Zhao Hai said to Mei Lin in confusion: "Grandma Mei Lin, do you know why? There is no problem with the water. I have analyzed it and it is a very good water source, completely suitable for fish to survive. But now it seems If there are no fish, this is a bit unreasonable, right?”

Merlin frowned and said after a while: "Generally there are no fish in the water. There are only two possibilities. One is that the water is poisonous and not suitable for fish to live. The other is that there are ferocious water monsters in the water that eat up all the fish. , if the water is not poisonous as the young master said, then there is only the second possibility, that there are ferocious water monsters in the water."

Zhao Hai thought about it carefully and felt that what Merlin said made sense. He remembered that when he was on Earth, he had seen a news about two very powerful carnivorous fish entering a fisherman's pond. If he ate up all the fish in his pond, there might be that kind of monster here, and if that was the case, it would be a big trouble.

When Merlin saw Zhao Hai's frown, he knew what Zhao Hai was thinking. Merlin comforted him and said: "Master, actually this is not difficult to solve. If the water is poisonous, it will be difficult for us to solve it. If the water is poisonous, it will be difficult for us to solve it. If there is a monster causing trouble, all we need to do is find the monster and kill him."

Zhao Hai smiled bitterly. His idea was exactly the opposite of Merlin's. If the water was poisonous, he could easily detoxify it with space water. But if there were monsters in the water, it would be very serious. trouble.

Looking at Zhao Hai's still frowning expression, Merlin couldn't help but smile and said: "Young Master, don't worry, if there is really a monster in the water, I will find it and kill it. It will not affect the Young Master's plan to raise fish. "

Zhao Hai couldn't help but be stunned when he heard what Merlin said, and then he suddenly understood that this is not the earth. On the earth, it is not that easy if you want to go into the sea to kill a deep sea monster, but here is There is very powerful magic here in Ark Continent, and Merlin happens to be a powerful water magician. Maybe he can really destroy the monsters in the water.
