After breakfast, Merlin let Meg lead the slaves to tidy up the caves. It would be best if they could chop down all the trees on the mountain to see if they could make a boat. That way, they could go to the lake in the mountain and take a good look. Merlin himself was preparing to look around the castle to see if he could find a suitable place for them to improve the land.
In Merlin's view, improving the land was the most important thing. As long as the land was improved, they would have the foundation to settle down and have the hope to survive.
Although she didn't know what was going on with Zhao Hai's spatial farm, Zhao Hai could improve the land and take out eighty thousand catties of radishes at once. This showed that Zhao Hai's ability was related to agriculture.
Although Merlin didn't know the magic of the spatial farm, she was a smart person. In addition, she was old and her life experience was very rich, so she guessed most of it.
However, seeing that Zhao Hai didn't tell her, she didn't ask. She knew that Zhao Hai was in charge now, and Zhao Hai had more ideas than before. If she continued to ask, it wouldn't be good.
When Zhao Hai heard that Merlin wanted to go around the castle to look at the terrain, he also wanted to follow. In the past few days in the other world, besides staying in the castle, he was walking around the mountain, or busy in the space. He simply didn't look around. Today, he could take advantage of this opportunity to look around. No matter what, this was his territory.
Zhao Hai wanted to follow, so Blockhead and Rockhead naturally also wanted to follow. However, Zhao Hai didn't let them. He only took Blockhead and let Rockhead stay behind to help Meg look after the slaves. Zhao Hai really didn't feel at ease leaving Meg alone to look after a hundred slaves.
Zhao Hai and the others came out of the castle. Blockhead walked alone on the mountain, carefully looking at the topography of the mountain. Zhao Hai and Merine walked along the foot of the mountain. Merine was old, and she was also a Magician, so her body naturally wasn't too good. Zhao Hai was the same, so the two of them didn't go up the mountain. If they went up the mountain, they would be too tired to move after walking for a while.
It was also the first time that Merine and Zhao had left the castle so far. As they walked, they looked around. The Black Waste was really strange. There were only some small trees and weeds growing in the semicircular mountains, while the mountains surrounded a large plain that stretched as far as the eye could see. There was nothing to see at all, as it was clear at a glance.
The terrain on the mountain was a little complicated, but because the mountain wasn't very high and there weren't many trees, the terrain on the mountain could be seen clearly from the foot of the mountain, so there was no need to worry too much.
The two of them walked along the mountain for more than three hours. Other than feeling more and more desolate, they didn't find anything. The black land was still black land, and the barren mountain was still a barren mountain.
Zhao Hai looked around, then turned to Merine and said, "Grandma Merine, let's rest for a while. Our fief is too big, we can't see it all in a day or two. If we really can't do it, then we can wait for Grandpa Green to come back. We rode out on horses. Walking like this is really too tiring."
Merine was also unbearably tired. She was a Magician, not a Warrior. Her body wasn't strong at all. She could usually do some housework, but to make her travel like this, she really couldn't bear it.
The two of them casually found two stones and sat down. When Blockhead saw the two of them sit down, he immediately ran down the mountain and walked to Zhao Hai's side and said, "Master, you rest here first. I'll go look around."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Okay, you go. Be careful." Blockhead responded, then turned around and ran up the mountain. Looking at his appearance, he wasn't tired at all.
Merine sat on the stone, looking at the boundless black land in front of her. She sighed and said, "When we first heard that the Empire had given this place to us, we really despaired. Everyone knows that the Black Waste is a land of death. Nothing grows here. Moreover, it's close to the Carrion Swamp. Being assigned here, besides waiting for death, we really can't do anything." Speaking to this point, she stopped and lowered her head. Her eyes showed an expression of reminiscence as she said, "When Green heard this news, he immediately took out all the money in the family to buy all kinds of supplies. He also wanted us to persevere for a few more years. As long as those old nobles don't pay attention to us, we can think of other ways to make money. No matter what, we can't let the Buda clan perish in our hands."
Speaking to this point, Merine didn't make a sound for a while, as if she was recalling the scene of despair at that time. Zhao Hai also didn't make a sound. He could understand Merine's feelings. The Buda clan was the place where they were born and raised, but they could only watch as the Buda clan walked toward this land of death in the Black Waste, waiting for death here. That kind of feeling was so despairing.
After a while, Merine took a deep breath. She turned to look at Zhao Hai and said, "Fortunately, Young Master woke up, and you also have that mysterious ability to improve the land. This also let us see hope. Young Master, in the future, the revitalization of the Buda clan will depend on you."
Green also said similar words to Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai understood that this was the hope that Merine and Green had for him. But the more it was like this, the more Zhao Hai felt that this matter was more difficult to handle. With Green and Merine's abilities, even they weren't able to do it. If he wanted to do it, it would be difficult.
If he wanted to make the Buda clan prosper again, then he would have to face the suppression of all the old aristocrats of the Aksu Empire, including the imperial family.
But at this time, he couldn't say these words. He could only nod his head vigorously and say, "Rest assured, Grandma Merine, I will do my best."
Merine nodded. Looking at Zhao Hai's appearance, she smiled and said, "The heavens haven't forsaken my Buda clan, actually giving Young Master this kind of mysterious ability. This means that the heavens want our Buda clan to prosper once again."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Grandma Merine, I'll take you to a place." Finished speaking, his mind moved and the two appeared in the spatial farm.
Merine, Green, and the others were all people that Zhao Hai could completely trust. Before, he didn't take them to the farm, besides the need to keep it a secret, it was because there were a lot of things in the farm that he couldn't explain to them. Zhao Hai was also afraid. He was afraid that Merine and Green would find out that he had taken over Adam's body. If that really happened, then Merine and Green would probably kill him at the first opportunity.
But now he wasn't afraid. He knew that Merine and Green didn't suspect him at all. Moreover, they already regarded him as the hope of the Buda clan. After all, he was now the sole heir of the Buda clan. Even if Green and Merine found out that he had taken over Adam's body, they wouldn't necessarily move against him. Because if the two of them killed him, then it would be tantamount to letting the Buda clan perish. If a noble didn't have an heir, then that noble's title would be taken back by the empire.
Merine also stared blankly as soon as she entered the space. Looking at the radishes that had just sprouted and the corn that was about to ripen on the ground, her brain really couldn't quite wrap itself around it.
Zhao Hai said at this time, "Grandma Merine, this is the special ability I obtained. A piece of land. This piece of land can be used to grow grain and vegetables. The time it takes for the grain and vegetables to ripen is much shorter than outside. That's why I can take out eighty thousand pounds of magic radishes in such a short time."
Merine looked at this piece of land and turned her head to ask Zhao Hai, "Young Master, where did you take those magic radishes? Why didn't I see them? "
Zhao Hai pointed to the warehouse and said, "They're all in there. That room is like a spatial equipment. A lot of things can be stored inside. Not only did I put the magic radishes inside, but the resources I put away are also all in there. As long as I want to use them, I can take them out at any time."
Merine's eyes shone as she nodded. To tell the truth, just the ability of this warehouse alone was enough to make her very surprised.
Zhao Hai continued, "The land in this space can be used to improve the black soil outside. The water can also be used. When I improved the black soil before, I used a mixture of the land and water in this space." Then he walked to the side of the corn field and said, "This is a new kind of plant I planted. I call it corn. If this field of corn matures, the seeds it produces will be enough for us to plant a thousand mu of land and still have some left. However, I don't know if the corn produced in this space can be used as seeds. This still needs to be tested. The corn stalk can be used to make fire. At present, it's the most suitable plant for us to plant."
Merine looked at that field of corn, her eyes shining. Of course she understood what Zhao Hai meant. As long as this field of corn matured and could be planted, they could solve their food problem. At the same time, they would have firewood.
Zhao Hai turned to Meirin and said, "As long as we find a suitable location, we'll first improve a thousand mu of land, and then plant corn. When the corn matures, we won't have to worry about food, and we won't have to worry about burning wood. When the time comes, we'll have food, and sell the magic radishes, and we'll have money. Little by little, our Buda clan will be able to develop and grow."
Merine nodded vigorously and turned her head to Zhao Hai to say, "Young Master, you must not tell anyone about this matter. How many people still know about this matter?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "Only you, Blockhead, and Rockhead have been to this space. Grandpa Green and Meg have never been here."
Merine nodded and said, "Young Master, you can completely trust the few of us, but you can't trust the others. Young Master, don't mention this matter to anyone in the future. If other people know about this matter, you'll be in danger."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Granny Merine, don't worry. I won't tell anyone about this matter. Let's go out. If Blockhead comes back and doesn't look for us, he'll be worried." Finished speaking, the two of them appeared at the foot of the mountain again.
