Utilizing the grade A token I acquired, I summoned one other Builder. Daedalus lastly had an assistant.

Whereas he was busy with the development in my territory, he might instruct the opposite builder on the way to assemble the dam.

In addition to, Daedalus’s presence wasn’t as wanted within the dam in comparison with my territory. A as soon as a day hour-long go to and inspection needs to be sufficient supervision. Development in my territory was the highest precedence.

After I summoned twenty employees or so, they began establishing that dam.

<Breakwater.>

Now that the development points had been out of the way in which, I confronted Ulysses and handed him the [Eternal Sand]. “Are you able to replicate this?”

Ulysses stared on the sand I handed to him and not using a phrase for a whole minute. It appeared like he was making an attempt to provide you with a approach to create one thing just like the sand.

After some time, he instantly bolted upright.

“Sure,” he lastly answered as he returned the sand to my stock. “This sand may be very particular. It isn’t constructed from sand, however reasonably from sand grains which were remodeled by time.”

I seemed down on the sand once more, making an attempt to determine what he was speaking about. Sadly, irrespective of how a lot I racked my brains, I nonetheless did not know what he meant.

“Sooo . . . you are able to do it?”

He nodded slowly. “It’ll take . . . elixirs.”

I finished, and my brow crumpled. “Elixirs?”

“Concentrated mana changed into liquids,” answered Athena.

“And the place can I discover this precisely?”

“Mana is current throughout us,” mentioned Athena. “We solely want an [Elixir Collector] to harness it.”

I launched a deep breath. “And I’ll take it that I want a Blueprint to assemble this [Elixir Collector]?”

Athena stared at Daedalus, and the latter nodded.

“Sadly, it is a high-level machine associated to the extra technical stuff of the development facet. I can not construct it purely out of creativeness alone. I want a blueprint as a information to establishing it for the primary time.”

Nice!

System, do you promote Blueprints?

<Destructive. Blueprints can solely be obtained by means of villages, cities, and cities — higher but, a kingdom!>

No Elixir, then. I sighed.

<For now~>

“Elixirs are helpful, my Lord,” Athena mentioned in my silence. “You are able to do a lot with it. When the time comes, we’ll clarify extra about it.”

With out these Elixirs, I’ve no selection however to guess all the pieces on this land’s pure soil. I stared on the muddy earth that might not even develop a weed.

Perhaps I might have a a lot better probability with a greenhouse. Although I doubt anybody knew something about hydroponics right here, and I most likely want one other blueprint for that.

I sighed, wanting up on the solar that was slowly sinking into the horizon. There was a lot work for me to just do to make this place habitable, and I used to be getting pissed off with all the restrictions and issues coming out one after one other.

My different self would emerge at any hour now, so I needed to do what I might with what little time I had left.

I confirmed the seeds I acquired to Athena and requested for her opinion as to which was superb for planting on this season since I used to be clueless about these sorts of stuff.

“That is straightforward, My Lord. You may have wheat, oats, corn, chickpeas, lentils, barley, potato, and turnip amongst the seeds you’ve got stolen.”

“I acquired the potato by means of a quest,” I clarified.

She ignored me and continued, “Would you like me to elucidate the advantage of planting them?”

I did not actually care, however data is energy. “Positive factor.”

“Wheat, relying on the way you course of it, may give you semolina, bulgur, couscous, wheat germ, and flour. The grains themselves comprise starch, which is used as a base in ointment and adhesive. Wheat can also be wanted to make beer, vodka, and whiskey,” she began.

“And rice.” It was essential. I might die with out it.

Athena ignored me and pressed on, “Corn is a staple grain, because it gives meals for each folks and livestock. The unrefined kernels can be utilized in facet dishes and soups or eaten proper off the cob. The flour will be made into pancakes, cornbread, and tortillas or refined additional to make cornstarch. The dried husks and stalks of the plant are good for constructing huts and fences.

“Chickpeas are a wonderful plant-based meat substitute since they’re wealthy in protein. After you harvest your chickpeas, the remainder of the plant can be utilized as livestock feed.

“Oats tolerate frost and drought very nicely, in order that they’ll assure your survival. Crush the grain to get flour for bread or flatten them into flakes to make muesli. Infuse alcohol with oat grains, and you will get a sedative.

“Lentils are drought-resistant legumes which might be excessive in carbohydrates and protein. They’re the idea of salads, earthy soups, and stews. Moreover, they produce nitrogen and might replenish the soil during which they’re grown.

“Barley grains, after hulling, depart you with scrumptious barley grits. Polish these to provide pearl barley. Barley works splendidly for thickening soups and stews. It’s an important ingredient in beer and whiskey, and it additionally makes nice animal fodder for preserving your livestock alive by means of winter.

“You also needs to develop root veggies equivalent to potatoes and turnips. These are wonderful sources of meals for each folks and livestock. Animals will achieve considerably extra weight on root crops than in the event that they had been grazing in pastures. Your root crops’ fields can act as a type of caloric storage system. They are often left within the floor and harvested as wanted for the following two years. Root crops aren’t affected by weeding, so use this chance to rid your fields of undesirable weeds.

“When you begin rising your individual staple crops, be ready, on your life is about to alter drastically. You will start to rely upon agriculture and can be capable of settle in a single place. Your communities will develop into villages and, ultimately, massive cities,” she ended.

“. . . Thanks for that prolonged clarification . . . however I do not suppose I can bear in mind all of that.”

Athena wasn’t offended. In reality, her expression appeared like she had anticipated my response. “You probably have a spare Token, my Lord, I counsel you summon a Farmer or an Agriculturist to assist you in farming. I would know all the small print, however on the subject of the precise planting, I’m as clueless as a new child babe.”
