Chapter 24: Land Development

The results of tilling the land with the mithril tools I created were unbelievably good.

After just a few times of tilling, the soil as far as the eye could see had transformed into incredibly soft and high-quality soil.

It was like magic, so even Sui was surprised and delighted.

"With this soil, we can engage in agriculture. By the way, Franz-sama, you have seeds with you, right? When you came here..."

"I do. I brought various seeds because I wanted to try farming. If we plant the seeds, they might sprout and leaves might grow on the soil after a few months."

I hope that's how it turns out. I can only wait in anticipation.

However, it's a pity that as someone inexperienced in agriculture, I have no information on how long I should wait.

Let's try planting some wheat seeds!

I'll take out the wheat seeds from my item bag and wrap several of them in the soil.

This will be my first attempt at farming, and I don't know anything about the basics of agriculture.

"So these are seeds."

"They are seeds. I'm going to plant them!"

I randomly inserted one seed at a time into the soil.

Once it's hidden from view by the soil, it's done.

I don't think there's anything else I need to do for now.

Since agriculture takes time, waiting is part of the job.

I refused to stay at the inn in town and came all the way to this territory to create my own country, but instead of building a country, I'm unsure if I'll even be able to sustain myself.

Living from virtually nothing is tough, as I've realized.

I was being too naive.

Being confronted with the harshness of reality was inevitable for me with such naive thoughts.

Now that I've planted the seeds, I feel like water might be necessary.

I remember that vegetables, wheat, and even flowers require water as a source of nutrients.

I overlooked it until now.

If water is an essential element, I have to do something about it. But unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a large amount of water in the vicinity.

"I don't have any..."

"What's wrong? You sighed. You don't need to worry since you've planted the seeds, right?"

No, there's still something necessary—water. Water is the necessary nutrient for growth. But it seems there's no water in the surrounding area. It's troublesome. Plus, it's also necessary for drinking.

"Water, huh? If it's water, you don't need to worry, Franz-sama. I can provide water!"

"What?! Sui, you can provide water?"

I was a little surprised.
