Although Grandia was very excited, Izali and Tang En were here after all. They were busy looking at the results of the grain seeds, so she could not be too presumptuous. Thus, she slightly restrained her blazing gaze.
Aiguin was very puzzled. She did not understand why Grandia would look at her with such a gaze. She often saw human males looking at human females with such a gaze.
"How is the wheat now? Has the production increased? "
Tang En did not have the time to continue letting Grandia's Lily Soul burn. He was more concerned about the grain seeds.
Kasparmi Castle had already fallen under Ellington's control, and the area for farming had grown even larger. With the passing of winter and the coming of spring, it was almost time for spring planting. Currently, Ellington's magic energy planters were ready to go, unable to endure the hunger and thirst, but the grain seeds were not in place yet.
Spring planting was very important. It would affect whether Ellington could have a good harvest this year. Thus, even if Ellington was facing the threat of war, Tang En still decided to prioritize solving this problem.
"The situation is better than before."
Grandia pursed her lips and tried hard to return to work. "Since we came to the Life Courtyard — this is the place. After being watered by the Life Courtyard's stream, the wheat grown here has increased by about 30% compared to the wheat grown in Ellington."
"30%!"
Tang En was very surprised. "Isn't this a very good increase?"
"But it's still very far from your goal."
Grandia glared at him with dissatisfaction. The meaning behind her words was obvious. Wasn't this all because of his high expectations?
Izali chuckled and said, "Grandia, maintain enough respect for the Oracle."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Grandia nodded reluctantly. Tang En's identity as the Oracle did not have much restraint on a non-master spirit like her. The consequence of lacking respect was being reprimanded by the Queen.
Of course, Grandia blamed this on Tang En.
"And then? What flaws are there? "
Tang En did not care about Grandia's rudeness. Rather, he was very used to Grandia's character as he came from Earth. She was a modern person who spoke her mind.
A high and mighty position was not suitable for him.
"The flaw is the grain seed's … oh, it's the hereditary characteristic you mentioned. It can't be maintained."
Grandia shrugged and said mildly, "After our tests in other regions, the high-yield trait of the seed cannot be maintained after leaving the Life Courtyard. Naturally, the effect of multiple iterations cannot be realized."
"Can't maintain it?"
Tang En nodded with a complicated expression on his face.
If he wanted to use grain seeds to control the farmers' economy, or implement a seed monopoly, this uninheritable disadvantage would become an advantage.
But the problem was … he had come to this world with God's mission to save the world. In other words, increasing the food supply was not just Ellington's problem. He had to ensure that all the countries and races had enough to eat and wear. Only then would they have the strength to fight.
Therefore, he had to become a selfless great man and spread the high-yielding seeds.
But he could not do this now.
"Although it can't be inherited, it can be put into use now. After all, the time for spring planting has arrived. There is no time to continue waiting."
Tang En shook his head and said, "A 30% increase is already very impressive. It may not be obvious in Ellington's territory, but if it is expanded to the entire Prandal, a 30% increase in wheat is enough to ensure that many people are full and fewer people starve to death."
"Lord Oracle is merciful."
High Priestess Maserati nodded slightly, praising Tang En's kindness.
Tang En's mouth twitched. If he did not hear her praising him and saw her indifferent expression, he might have thought that she had some enmity with him.
"As long as you are happy."
Grandia shrugged. In any case, this was the task Tang En gave her. As long as Tang En did not have any objections, she was happy to relax.
Tang En waved his hand and asked, "How many grain seeds can the Life Courtyard cultivate in a day?"
"According to the current efficiency, it can produce about a ton a day."
Grandia was a little uncertain. "Because the other priests may have other things to do, the production cannot be guaranteed to be stable."
Maserati said faintly, "Stop other learning tasks and give priority to meeting the needs of the Lord Oracle."
"Okay." Grandia pursed her lips. "No problem. How much do you want?"
At this moment, Tang En was deeply aware of how convenient his identity as an Oracle was. But …
"How much … I can't say for sure."
Tang En scratched his head. "The cultivated area in Ellington has always been registered by Fiona. With the help of the magical cultivator this year, the cultivated area will be larger. Now, there is also the new cultivated area in Kasparmi, so there is a huge demand for seeds."
"You might as well not have said anything."
Grandia rolled her eyes. "What kind of lord are you? I'd better ask Fiona."
"If I do everything by myself, then I am not a qualified lord."
Tang En smiled. "Queen Izari should be very clear about this. As a leader, you should know how to use people and how to make the most of your subordinates. It is enough to lead the way forward."
"The Lord Oracle is right."
Izari smiled and nodded. "So my most important task now is to solve the problem of the negative population growth of the elves. Lord Oracle, later on, we can —"
Tang En's face turned pale. He hurriedly interrupted Izari and said with a dry smile, "Grandia, I think it is absolutely right for you to go all out to accelerate the production of grain seeds. The best time for spring planting is still half a month. I hope to see a warehouse full of grain seeds by then."
Grandia raised her eyebrows. "You are using me like an animal. Can't you let me rest?"
"You are reading comics here and you feel that the task is too heavy?"
Tang En grinned and said eerily, "I think it is time for you to feel the fear of being dominated by an Oracle …"
Grandia decisively withered. "No problem! I promise to complete the task! "
Tang En nodded with satisfaction. "Very good. The organization has high hopes for you. Do your best. If you perform well, maybe the next time Aiguin and I go out to relax, we will bring you along."
Grandia's eyes lit up. "It is a promise!"
Looking at the energetic Grandia, Tang En turned his head. He always felt that using a silly and naive girl like this was … quite satisfying.
Who told her to be his rival in love?
"Go out to relax?"
Egwene had a confused look on her face. "When did we go out to relax? I still have a lot of things to do — "
"No matter how busy your life is, you still need to relax and rest."
Tang En pressed on Aiguin's shoulder and stared into her eyes. He said earnestly, "It is because you usually put too much burden on yourself that you tend to neglect the beauty around you. Your tense nerves need to rest so that you can better complete the task, isn't that right?"
The simple elves were not as cunning as Tang En. They just felt that what he said made sense, so they all fell into deep thought.
How would they know that Tang En was feeding them chicken soup for the soul? His purpose was to give himself a chance to enjoy private time with Aiguin?
"What you said makes a lot of sense."
After thinking for a long time, Aiguin could not help but accept Tang En's point of view. "I seem to have been busy for too long. I do need to rest."
Ever since the second war of Chaos ended and she became the legendary hero of Prandal, Aiguin had never rested. She had been running around the Emerald Forest, chasing the aura of Chaos and trying to carry out her mission as the agent of God to purify the pollution of Chaos.
However, in this process, she, who was constantly chasing after her goal, had forgotten the beautiful scenery along the way and the essence of life.
Seeing that Aiguin had accepted his point of view, Tang En said with satisfaction, "Then it's settled. After I settle down on my side, we'll find a place to go out and relax."
"Yes, sure. At the same time, you can fulfill your promise to Grandia."
As soon as he heard Aiguin's words, Tang En's face fell. He had just said it casually, and the simple Aiguin took it seriously.
Do I really have to bring her along?
Looking at Grandia, who was busy in the farmland not far away, Tang En curled his lips. How could a lesbian girl disturb the beautiful couple's time?
"Of course."
Tang En showed a bright smile. "I've always been a man of my word."
After confirming that the grain seeds were going into production, Tang En went back to Ellington without stopping.
Although Kasparmi Castle had been placed under the rule of Ellington, the refugees who fled from the previous winter expressed that they would not go back.
After seeing how Ellington lived, how could they return to their original village?
Who could stand it?!
They had decided to settle down in Ellington.
And Ellington's expansion required a large number of people, so Tang En did not chase them back. Instead, he settled them down and waited for the spring planting to begin before allocating land to them.
On the other hand, it was about the magical pistol.
The Magical Engineering Research Institute had finished disassembling and analyzing the sample that Tang En had brought over. Most of the parts had been made into molds. Although the precision was not up to Tang En's standard, the combination was not a big problem — just in terms of appearance.
The real core technology lay in the design of the magic channel of the gun itself, as well as the mass production of the miniature magic circle. These two were the real problems that needed to be solved.
Since Elijah, who had amazing magical talent (after all, she was the reincarnation of a goddess), had shown the "Sharingan" and successfully copied the miniature magic circle in an instant, the learning tasks that Clairat had assigned to her had changed. From learning basic magical knowledge to analyzing and studying the magic circle in the Magical Engineering Research Institute.
The effect was outstanding.
