*The text is a bit weird on this chapter, please bare with me.
"I took some rest after that day, training those guys... It's great that they learn quick, but Venit Ille has too many problems at the moment.."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxGhfo5t7K
His thoughts pre-occupied his mind which was looking at the piles of paperwork before him. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8WN7uzbYt
"Here, Captain, are the village's many problems." Naturvege said, sitting beside him on the dinner table of his house. "Food, housing, people, to name a few, that pile is more of a complicated review of it." 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hrKXN2tPV
"Have you tried asking nearby cities or your kingdom's capital?" Hierd questioned. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQq4x2Tveb
"We have, but unfortunately... No matter what we did, no reply turned our way." He looked grim saying that.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcjHiT7QaB
"How poor is your kingdom, Naturvege?" 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA2Z6laOud
"Its not poor but our location being so far from the captial and other main cities makes it harder for their supplies to reach us, ultimately make it... More expensive of a trip."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89LfqQeACJ
"I see..."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnfcJOBJCr
"I don't really, acutally see, I know nothing about these intellectual things, but with my power I might be able to do something about that."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoNI44zd5n
"Magic."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorQaIRhlKH
"Magic? Captain?" Naturvege questioned.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQLX6pkvmt
"What is it to you?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUnOMthOgu
"A daily commodity, Captain, from fire, water, ground, and many other elements. Magic's... Magic's just a human trait, why?" 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORxHBmf17F
"So maybe I can use it. But in the mean time, I shouldn't reveal my powers to them, but if I would, maybe only to Naturvege or even Alrife."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJCfQyv4qi
"Nothing in particular, I'll help with your village's problems, but in the meantime... Naturvege..."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JIkD3mrMb
"Yes, captain?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK5Lz2ieer
"The footmen need physical training, gather all the squads and say that you will replace me in the meantime. I'll have a cart full of food after about three hours, I'll have Alrife deliver it by then. And if they misbehave, I'll find out and that one man will not get any food."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQRvE18veN
"Yes, captain."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpyYL80s6l
"Ahem! I am acting in my purest form of intellect!" He imagined himself in a dramatic pose. "I am of such lordly presence!" 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTSVn00lqH
Hierd flew out the village hall with a smile on his face, phasing past the chief walking towards the direction of the training field.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FfWLfCN8f
"Starting from phase I, food... Agriculture is a field I am not a master at... But I think I can rip myself a new ass here..." 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXAzhcE7c4
Hierd was occupied in his thoughts, but his outer appearance looked stern, manly, and rather aggresive looking. The bystanders that onlooked the lordly apperance and had backed away almost as if in impulse. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmU8JlJCm7
"The village's farm (as Naturvege told me;) 'It's just north the village's only bridge on the stream, which is just down the main road.' I don't fookin kno the cardinal directions bruv. Mr. Voice, I want a book that teaches me about this."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFolnvJ1tt
[RESPONSE VAGUE]153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw0BgQHFhu
Hierd sighed, "A book that teaches me how to travel in the wilderness without tools like compasses and other mechanical devices...?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkipgFHfz5r
[REQUEST GRANTED: CAMPING GUIDE BOOK]153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF5zmM9Emh
A book appeared on his hand, a bookmark piqued his intrest. It was on the fifty-seventh page, it was about how to tell the cardinal directions. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMESTluwky
"Thank you, voice." A small tear rolled down his left eye. After some minutes of reading whilst walking, he figured it out and coincidentally he was at the first step of the bridge. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbabxEVt5d
"Alright, alright. Give me sunglasses." He was just about to look at the sun but had fortunately remembered the sun's dangerous rays."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv11FmnHQvD
[REQUEST GRANTED: SUNGLASS]153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZkvXyxmR2
He put it on and looked (not directly, but adjacent) at the sun. "So... The sun rose there... That's East. Then, north is on my left!" He proceeded to cross the bridge, there were many un-named paths but he took the one at the left. It was quite a ways off the village as the village wasn't near any large bodies of water, but just after the small plain and the small line of trees was the farm area. It was rather big and encumbered only the left side of the river bank as just right of it was the boundaries of another town. Except it was more richer than Venit Ille, the village.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyXG15wmpl
"So the locals already know of my presence and I think the chief had already advised everyone that I indeed am of 'nobility.' And are training them, so coming here wouldn't be such a problem."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kHhyiTuJU
Hierd walked to the front gate of the first barn house. Walking on the front porch and then knocking on the front door. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKCxsDOOCC
Two knocks!153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdFVcfwVnC
"Hello! Is anybody home?" Hierd shouted in calm manner.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHCiVG4BkD
"Hello there." Behind him, greeted a nice old lady, "What do you want, O' lord?" 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XAqOQXQ1K
Hierd's 'flexed' body slacked as he saw the nice-looking old lady. "Please call me Hierd, I'm sure you've heard of me, madam?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyuyi4tX06
"Ah... Yes... Sir. Hierd, you were the kind noble that's helping us. Thank you." She sounded appreciative but as seconds ticked she didn't want to waste time. "Oh sorry! Please, please, come inside, I'm sure you have business with the farm." 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQBVtzR94Y
She went toward the front door, Hierd scooting over to the side to give her space to open the door. As she went in, so did he. "My husband and my scoodles should be home in a minute, so please sit down I will prepare some tea."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7LLDYmh1D
"Scoodles? Local term or maybe another name for her children?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro8mkZyQgt
"Ah, thank you, thank you." Hierd replied in gratitude whilst sitting down on the dinner table chair. "Your husband's a farmer I take it?" Hierd asked.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBcQQUSvk4
"Ah, yes, yes." She responded as she made the tea, an aroma filled the dining room, one more distinct than what he drank at the chief's. "He's been a farmer ever since he was born!" She laughed.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTpKdtK5QO
"There's no use telling him to retire, the fields are his home, and it's my home too..."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFaxXT0QUn
She had just finished making the tea, bringing it then to Hierd. "Here, O' lord."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1htJTnoE5S
"Thank you." Hierd took the cup on his hands and took a sip. It was better than what he had at the chief's. Noticeably so. "What is this tea, madam?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKHtRTpemR
"It's Juvino de' suu Gott ni grace. A rather... Expensive expedenture, but I had persistance and my husband's heart for me to get it so..." She laughed.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8qUuNDPyp
"What; juuvini de sew Gott ni what now? That's like Latin, German, Spanish all in the same name. But guessing from that, and the taste, this is some expensive stuff, I feel bad."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKhE3PW07a
"For you to give me such a thing when only I need the simplest of tea, I thank you, but my mind wishes to repay you in some way."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhMi0hAju3
"O' lord, you don't need to do such a thing..."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73YoU1Obry
"I feel I have to..." Hierd took another sip, appreciating the taste, aroma. Until a knock rocked the door.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIYElXykE0
"Oh! They're here O' lord. I shall unlock the door."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETeLyMN1mL
Hierd nodded. She opened the door, to be greeted by a big man, old in appearance and looked similar to the chief. Hierd got up from his chair and walked towards the man hugging his wife after the walk he embarked from the farmlands.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZb60YYvrN
"Good Afternoon, sir, I am Hierd Die Grace."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwAhcuQwS7
He was shocked, very much so.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSme0zcxZh
"Captain! For you to be in my house suprises me so!"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoytlS215z1
"Captain? For he to refer me as captain... Is he a part of the footmen? No, that's insane, he's a farmer right?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsjou0ObpP
"Ah right, sorry you don't know who I am. But please, let me first retire myself of my work garments before we continue."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp39esqF1x9
"That is so." Hierd replied.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAZkYDHAhe
"Hey dad!" A voice came out of nowhere behind the man. "Can you finish early? We want to go back to the fields!"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxNYunYL3e
"Yes, yes, I will. But I don't think I'll be early boys, so come inside and greet our visitor."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAMSgHUzWW
"Visitor?" They inquired, going in-"Is it Aunt Janelle agai--" they trembled, looking at the hunk of muscle which was Hierd.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0ZSuEzb5o
"G- G-- Good... Afternoon... O' lord..." Two boys, seemingly in their fourteens, looked as frightened as would a mouse in cat territory.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqA3XGl67e
"Good afternoon." Hierd replied, in comical 'jest.'153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBif9caIDja
"Let's not wait at the door gentlemen!" She interjected, "Please O' lord, and... My dear, make yourselves home in the dining room."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws3ZxkYk8f
"Quickly now, my Scoodles, to your rooms~." She said in a quieter tone to the two boys.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw0WpVHM9F
The man went into a seperate room, after a couple of minutes, he came out with a more fresh and homey room unlike the farmer-like dirty outfit he had going when first he came.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EF989Y4VM
Hierd already sat on the dining room chair, the man had made his way to the dinning room with he sitting opposite Hierd's.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxmyujnqbq
"I'm the chief's brother, Finne. You can call me Fin." He said with a jovial attitude. "I've watched and loved your way of commandeering the footmen, they were so unruly before. To think they would obey someone in such short a time... I'm impressed, Captain."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhPKmGujIl
"Oh stop~ I know I'm just that good."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY6112q8pS
"I see, I thank you for your compliments. But what I'm here for is not about the footmen, instead for the food."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdntP2x50O
"I see, so you've come for our aid!? To this I can't thank you enough, captain!" A grin showed and widened, with his atmosphere being free. "The invention of the Kar98k, the food and other equipment! Surely your country, captain, can out rival the kingdom, nigh the world with your intellect! Is there a technology in your country that could help?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlOm3FuLzL
"Well, I want to find out first before I could get the right things needed for the job, Sir. Fin, I want to look at your farm." Hierd said as he took the very last sip of his tea.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2p93z0v5l
"Right' way, captain."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iR936rCKB
Hierd and Fin got up from their seats. Fin hurried to the door and got his hat. "Dear! Kids, We're going to the farm! Wanna come!?" He shouted.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBPA7hWF9G
Soon after, a rumble of four feet had rocked the stairs down. "Yes! We wanna go!" They looked to have completely forgotten the 'frightning' lord that was just beside Fin. Instead being blinded by the want of going to the fields.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPbrYJ3eY2
Fin opened the door and out the four went. The boys ran forward and took first while the two men walked and stayed behind.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY9pyMs60N
"Aren't they energetic?" Hierd asked in a light tone.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5Zix3pyTN
"Yes, they've always been. The fields are their playground, they love it, and naturally, I should care for it, so the beauty of the fields could last..." A pause, Hierd took it that the said beauty would last no longer.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1LCmiiIFK
"What's wrong?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpwsgEY03t
"The crop yields have weakened, and everything we've done hasn't worked. I haven't told the kids about it, but I feel even they have noticed."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVijGFf2jq
"I'm no botanist nor farmer, but considering their era, has fertilizer even been invented yet? No wait, it should have been, farming dates back to them dinosaur days or some thing. Quite literally."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaS5t7BHMV
"Fertilizer hasn't worked?" Hierd questioned.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8TJgPRYOV
"Fertilizer, captain, what is that? Is that a cure for this sickness!?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRhDtr6bXH
"Well what then did you use to make the crops better?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8du4Tbz71r
"Ennomite, captain."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBn3VaotbG
"I've yet to hear something like that..."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl2kJu5YQP
"I see, then..." He formed his thoughts. "Ennomite's something that fastens the growth and overall greatness of crops, making it look and taste delicious."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqYzwC6N1T
"I think I've found the problem..." 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCukCaYpRsb
They neared the farmlands which was next to the clear river just yonder. The children were playing about in the farmland, being careful and avoiding stepping on any crops. Because of their playing, their shins looked dirtier-looking than mud could be.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWzRHVwQvU
"This... Ennomite." Hierd said. "If it fastens the growth of your crops, doesn't it fasten the decrease in the amount of fertility in the soil? If so, then Ennomite has been making your soil weaker!"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iywmSTJO3
Fin was stunned, like a prophecy was revealed to him. They stopped in their tracks. "Such a revelation... I haven't even thought of it! Can that fertilizer help in reinvegerating the once fertile land?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot0JMOCoVk
"I think it should. But it is not really a product, more of a byproduct so to speak. But it's effects should bring about more yield than before."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaHEz147L1
"I see, than how so can it be done, what is this byproduct, captain?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6Jy2m1kxI
"Feces."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWSLLVZmYb
"Feces?" Fin looked disgusted yet intrigued.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1Js3F5ysx
"Feces."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAM0iowyTF
"What can it do?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A8iqg5tTv
"You can collect the feces of your farm animals, put them onto your crops at spring and you shall see the results for yourselves."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIjQymDr13
"I... I see..."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr4x2VTvKx
"It's... I know it's really weird, I know hold on, Fin, I'll get you something... I want a book about farming!"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjP3xfXnU6
[REQUEST GRANTED: FARMING BOOK]153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfYsUtMeAe
Before it could appear in seconds, Hierd put his right hand onto his coat. Seconds after, an unexpectedly big and heavy book appeared.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr1KNqfEBb
"Here... Read its contents and understand the ways my country handles such a thing. I shall supply you with the many gadgets you will undoubtedly need when you are to complete it."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK1xitOnBo
He was suprised. More so at the book than what Hierd promised. "Such a book! Are you to give and let me read it, captain!? I couldn't possibly..."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxxHveCMi3
"O' please, don't be so humble, accept and read its contents. And soon you shall understand my words are not fiction."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8kgwxpAwy
Fin looked more than greatful for the 'gift' he got. Hierd looked at the small watch he had, it was approaching the first hour. "I need to go now, I thank you for your time Mr. Fin."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfA0bE1zsG
"The Honor's mine. Please, come back any time!" Fin said to Hierd walking away.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1GR91SbjI
It took quite a bit of time to reach the bridge from the farmhouse, but; Hierd came back to the bridge intersection,153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmsFvboxPj
"I did the more 'harder' task first, the farm thing. But now comes the second, housing and the over abundance of people in the village."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIJXA16gqJ
Hierd walked towards the village.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbENnUOohH
"So Naturvege said that because of last year's... Auferstand- something, a neighboring village took refuge inside the arms of Venit Ille, which was more 'combat-ready' than them. But now, they live inside the newly built homes. So... Now there's a total of a hundred or so people living here, damn... I should begin by talking to them, right?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk93t3LmwT
Hierd made his way to the main street, where he was at an hour ago, a turn towards the newly constructed homes. The environment was lively, yes, but everyone did not look well, after all, the days of Auferstehen was nearing. And they were worried. Hierd came from out of the green, the walked to the nearest man.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj6mJjtP9K
"Good Afternoon."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi7St2tAex
He stood up, nervously so. "G... Goo' dafternoon, O' lord."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLOusaAKdi
"Please be at ease gentleman." Hierd reassured the man. "I want to see your village's... Chief..."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjxgZofbDW
"Ah, I see... Pl-- please, follow me."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTFDMHgfQp
Hierd let the man gather his belongings on the ground and as he went away, Hierd followed with.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1Kn7EeRVO
The townsfolk were eyeing out the captain, Hierd, who looked and acted of nobility, and they did not dare to even approach him.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe6yIUJPUj
The man led Hierd into a big poorly made wooden house (akin to a barn house). The doors opened and a slew of men, women, children alike were sitting on the boarded-wooden floor.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPCV8E42PE
"Holy! This scene looks like a gymnasium after an earthquake. Like a disaster had just fooken swept them... Well I guess a 'disaster' did sweep them."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1WpSJvslo
"Where is your chief?" Hierd questioned him as the man had just stood there eyeing out the watching crowd.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUQwMdmjXs
He didn't reply but after a second round of him observing the twenty or so people, he had finally responded. "There! O' lord."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhtmpYb0Iz
Hierd followed the man, the chief was minding his business with a pile of paperwork and a group of his own men.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6YUuhy785
"Good afternoon." Hierd initiated the conversation with the chief, of which paid him no mind until the man from before had merely tapped his shoulder.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN9zh58Fva
"Is he deaf? Pen and paper should be more morally accepted than shouting to an old deaf man with a high position."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkMAY1ySff
The men surrounding him hadn't mind but after he touched him, the chief had finally reacted. A jolt. He was astonished.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxvXnOjxzz
"Ah! The lordly man who showed that... That Car 908kay! 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDmaopaxBA
Hierd's inner self wanted to laugh but his body simply rejected such an embarrassment of a thought.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCf90Tpvpd
The chief had got up from his sat position, with a bright face, he said;153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq13pNZ7yGZ
"I am Hadi, chief of Ridge Village! Pleasure to meet you me lord!"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ7iD4XvR9
