There was nonetheless yet one more subject of concern, which was essentially the most urgent of all of them. “Are the crops going to thrive on this soil?”

“Nature strikes in cycles,” answered Athena. The second she stated that I ready my ears for an additional prolonged rationalization. “After every blossom comes a interval of decline, and over time, even essentially the most fertile fields will begin producing an more and more meager harvest. It’s because the soil is drained of its vitamins because the crops have depleted it. These points will not be an issue if now we have Elixir Collectors.”

“Properly, it is an issue now since we do not have these.”

“As you say, my Lord. The one factor we are able to do is go away it to nature to deliver again the vitamins that had been as soon as misplaced in these lands.”

When Athena went over to Turnip and Florin, I rapidly went after her. It appeared like she wasn’t executed instructing the 2 but.

“Barley and Oats produce good yields, however they rapidly drain the soil,” she began. And I noticed how Florin’s brow crumpled and her decrease lip puckered out.

Athena ignored her response and pressed on. “Due to this fact, develop perennial clover on the similar time. It would develop below the cover of the cereals, and it’s good for feeding cows and goats. Clovers accumulate nitrogen of their roots, which can preserve soil vitamins stage because the cereal grows. Ulysses introduced some from his quick journey to the close by forest. You possibly can ask him for some.

“And since we do not have Elixirs but to mass produce the [Eternal Sand], we are able to solely depend on crop rotation. To do that, you have to change the crops you develop month-to-month in response to the foundations of crop rotation. It is alleged to be yearly, however since rising and harvesting on this world is faster, I estimate {that a} month ought to suffice.

“Interchange soil-depleting cereals with legumes, which can saturate the land with nitrogen and develop root crops for each animal feed and private consumption. This strategy will present you and your livestock with meals, which in flip will give you milk and meat. And livestock manure rejuvenates the soil. As a bonus, crop rotation additionally disrupts the life cycles of pathogens and plant pests, stopping them from flourishing.”

“I feel Turnip is aware of it already,” I butted in as a result of if I did not, I really feel like Athena would by no means be completed together with her lectures.

“My lord.” She confronted me. The intense expression on her face made me again somewhat. “If I would counsel, these delicate crops which are extra delicate to climate situations must be planted inside a greenhouse.”

My face lit up. “Can Daedalus make one?”

“If it is solely a easy greenhouse that makes use of available supplies, then sure.”

“That is excellent news. Now, I haven’t got to worry both inclement climate or nutrient-scarce soils because the greenhouse would have a perfect ecosystem for the crops.”

“Inform Daedalus about it,” I advised her. “For the meantime, I am going to do what I can to forage for supplies as effectively.”

“Will do, my lord.”

As I went on my approach, I did not know if I must be glad that all the pieces was the identical right here as again on earth. The crops had been the identical, and the manners of planting them additionally appeared the identical to me.

The one distinction was the magic and the fantasy stuff.

<And the medieval timeline.>

I went over my territory. My precise property was larger, however the partitions had been constructed round a 2,500 sq. meter space the place it might accommodate my quick home and farm.

This must do for now. After the Blood Rain passes, we might consider our subsequent transfer. I did not even know if I might survive that apocalyptic occasion, so there was no use in interested by the longer term after that.

I would just do what I might do for now.

Roaming my eyes, I discovered everybody busy with their very own duties. Not desirous to be ineffective, I made a decision to forage within the mountains for stones and boulders, so the dam could be completed rapidly. I did not know something about farming, nor did I do know something about setting up a constructing, so I would as effectively forage for supplies.

Ultimately, the solar went down, and with it got here my different self, who took over. I used to be pushed again into the deepest corners of his thoughts as soon as once more, ready for management, for I knew it will occur . . . quickly.

“. . .” Not gonna occur! I yelled at him.

<Welcome again, good Host. How was your sleep?>

I did not sleep okay! I might nonetheless noticed what was occurring and the way he killed dozens of gamers in a single evening!

<It is known as survival, Host. One thing that you must be taught to do as effectively.>

Shut up! I am not speaking to you!

I took a deep breath and sighed over the darkish sky. I needed to clear my thoughts of the terrible issues that my different self did, so I would not puke what I ate that day.

GrrRr . . .

I appeared over at Minion 0, who was gazing me with its slit eyes.

“W-what . . . ,” I stuttered and took a step again. “I am your grasp, you realize . . . ,” I stated to him with false bravado.

May he have seen the sudden change in my character?

Minion 0 let loose a snarky growl, and I virtually misplaced my stability after I swiftly took a step again from it. I rapidly put it again within the Minion menu the place it belonged. My different self let it out so it will guard him whereas he foraged, however there was no use letting it out if it was the one who’d be going to assault me in the long run.

I shook my head in dismay. Even my minion did not acknowledge me. What’s extra the others?

Come to think about it . . . this might even be the primary time that I’d meet Athena and the others.

. . . My abdomen was churning for some motive.

Ought to I simply run away?

However the place would I am going?

It was rather more harmful to be outdoors than to face a bunch of individuals with my anxiousness points. In addition to, it is not like I’ve to work together with them continually.

. . . I took a deep breath, resigning to my destiny of simply staying right here till the apocalyptic occasion handed.

After that . . . I’d consider my subsequent transfer.
