It wasn't a difficult decision for Li Ke to stay in the farmland. After all, he spent most of his time in a tent, so he sent someone to inform Aichy and stayed in the farmland. He used his power to make the common crops in Freldrod grow in the snow and bear fruit. Then, he picked out the largest one and repeated the process. He used this primitive method to make the plants adapt to the soil and climate in Freldrod.
After all, he wasn't a fool. If he wanted these plants to sprout and grow all the time in this place where the temperature was -10 degrees Celsius, what he had to do was actually very simple. He had to improve these species, shorten their maturation time, and artificially prolong the seeding time here. In other words, he cheated by using his ability to produce high-yield crops and relatively cold-resistant crops.
After all, when water froze, the water in the cells would pierce the cell walls due to the cold, causing the plants to die. It was the law of nature that plants would grow slowly in the cold, and he didn't have the ability to change it yet. Or rather, he couldn't change it completely. After all, there was the unreasonable power of magic in this ghost world.
However, there were still many people who were dissatisfied with his behavior of staying in the farmland.
"Are you really not going back with me today?"
After a day of banquets, Eich, who reeked of alcohol, sat on the ground while hugging her legs. She looked at Li Ke, who was busy working in the fields with a hoe in her hand. Her eyes flashed with an indescribable expression, but the people around her were certain that she was very happy.
"No, there will be endless banquets when I go back. Although I know this is necessary, it's too torturous for me to waste all my time on this."
Li Ke loosened the frozen soil and planted the seeds that he injected with a little bit of vitality. After watching them germinate, he waved his hoe and dug up the next piece of land.
He was now trying to make the plants adapt to the cold. Interestingly, as he continued to catalyze, the skin of the wheat became thicker and thicker. Moreover, they didn't look the same as before. On the other hand, the potatoes were even more obvious. They didn't taste like potatoes anymore. But when Li Ke planted them, he needed less vitality to grow them.
Of course, the production also decreased, but it couldn't be helped.
It was the law of nature.
"But without you, many people will be disappointed."
Eich was still hugging her knees as she sat there. She had imagined such a life a long time ago. She would fish with her family and sow rice instead of plundering and robbing others of the food that they didn't have much. But whether it was reality, the rules and ancient laws that she had to abide by, or her fate and ideals, they didn't give her the chance to do so.
"But if I continue like this, I will not disappoint many people sooner."
Li Ke had no choice but to stop his work. He took a towel from an assistant and wiped his hands. Then, he sat beside Aichy and picked up the water bag mixed with wine.
"You can't let the myths and legends completely bind you, Aichy. Only a statue can be worshipped, not a leader."
Aichy was too bound by her legends. She was almost regarded as an omnipotent statue by her followers. So even though her ability was outstanding and she could satisfy the various thoughts and requests of her followers, she still lived a very tiring life.
"I seem to have heard you say that showing one's desires is also a part of a leader's responsibility. That's why some leaders show their desires very clearly. You said so, didn't you? "
Aichy ran her fingers through her hair. She was in a good mood. Although Li Ke's behavior of avoiding people would cause her a lot of trouble, she was really happy.
"Yes, but you can't expect your leader to be a saint. So sometimes, it's also very important to make yourself less like a statue."
Li Ke nodded and knitted his brows. After all, he really didn't like drinking. But in this godforsaken place, if he didn't add water to the wine, the water in his water bag would freeze into Freldrod's specialty.
"I think you just don't like drinking. That's why you don't like banquets."
Aichy chuckled softly because Li Ke's expression was exactly like a child who didn't want to work.
"Something like that. Compared to wine that will cause problems and harm the body, I do prefer warm milk. But banquets are really a waste of time."
Li Ke didn't want to talk too much about this. The reason why he stayed in the Farmlands was because Eich had so many social events to attend to. Any tribe that was willing to pledge their loyalty to her or bring their people to her territory, no matter how small the tribe was, she would hold a banquet for them. Not only that, she would bring her own warriors and trusted subordinates to attend.
This was a rather honorable and joyful thing for her subordinates. Moreover, drinking wine and eating meat to one's heart's content was a wonderful thing here. Moreover, they more or less knew that this Blood Lord of their tribe was a person who could conjure food out of thin air. After knowing that they wouldn't lack food for brewing wine in the future, they became more enthusiastic about drinking to their heart's content.
Moreover, even if Li Ke didn't provide them with food, they would still drink to their heart's content. After all, with so many tribes responding to Aichy's call to come to this sacred land, this could only mean one thing in Freldrod: their tribe would become an unimaginably large tribe!
"Haha, you're really like a child."
Ai Xi's head tilted to one side. She felt a little dizzy. After all, she came here after drinking. She wanted to keep a close eye on her Lord Blood Alliance. She was afraid that he would run away, or that he would be eaten by someone when she wasn't paying attention.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at the woman who was ordering the Winterspring Clan to finish their work quickly. It was Cherna, the woman who had been with Li Ke ever since she met him.
She didn't know what was going through her drunken mind, but a strange thought suddenly popped up in her mind.
"I can't help it. I've never been used to the taste of wine, especially beer. If it wasn't necessary, I wouldn't drink such bitter stuff."
Li Ke really didn't like drinking. Moreover, the beer in this place even had suspicious suspended substances. Especially when he discovered that even the fruit wine here was mostly made by these burly Freldrod men with luxuriant body hair and beards. He didn't like drinking even more after they stepped on it with their feet.
"But I'm sweet."
Aichy didn't wait for Li Ke to understand the meaning of her words. Instead, she hugged Li Ke and kissed him.
