The next morning, as soon as Morty went out, he saw Leona already in the field, observing it.
"What are you doing?"
Morty yawned as he stepped forward.
Hearing his voice, Leona waved her hand without turning her head. "Come quickly."
What's wrong?
Morty was a little puzzled, but his mind was much clearer now. He ran over in small steps and saw Leona staring at the corn seedlings that had sprouted from the ground with a surprised expression. When she saw him coming over, she said excitedly, "Look, it's actually sprouting."
Err...
"And?" Morty was a little speechless.
If they didn't germinate, what kind of things would they grow?
"And?" Leona turned her head and glared at him with a strange expression. "If I remember correctly, you've only planted this seed less than two days ago, right? Isn't it strange that it sprouted so quickly?"
Morty scratched his head and said innocently, "It's not strange."
The corn he planted before also grew in just ten days.
There was nothing abnormal about this world of magic.
Leona took a deep breath. She was now even more convinced that this bastard was deliberately teasing her. Normal people knew that after corn was planted, it would not germinate so quickly even if it was ripened by magic.
Morty must have some unknown means!
With a snort, Leona stopped wasting her breath on him. Instead, she walked to the side and observed the seedlings on the ground.
Morty was even more confused.
Why was this woman so angry?
However, he didn't ask further. If this woman wanted to mess around, then let her do it. As long as she didn't take the initiative to find trouble with him, he would let her do whatever she wanted.
He moved a newly made recliner and found a shade to lie down. He enjoyed the morning sun. It was dazzling, but it was not very hot.
Looking at the fence of the manor, Morty recalled his experience last night, and an immature idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
"If only this manor could be a little bigger."
If he could grow bigger and plant more corn that could attack people at the edge, he wouldn't be afraid of the succubus seducing him ever again.
However, this thought only flashed across his mind. He knew very well that with his current financial resources, eating was a problem. It was better to take care of his own land.
Stretching his back, Morty lazily narrowed his eyes and sized up Leona, who was busy in the fields. Although this woman was very violent, it had to be said that her figure was also very violent. Although she was wearing a maid's clothes and her chest seemed to be wrapped in a chest wrap, it did not affect her curvaceous figure at all.
"In that case, it's not a bad thing to let her stay," Morty muttered happily. After all, with such a beautiful woman hanging around in front of him, although he couldn't touch her, it was still a feast for the eyes.
Soon, it was noon. Morty stood up, picked up a bucket from the side, filled it with water, and walked to the field.
At this moment, Leona's entire body was drenched in sweat, and her fair cheeks were flushed red. This made Morty admire her a little. This woman's perseverance was really extraordinary.
He carried the bucket to the field and was about to water it when Leona suddenly stood up and stopped him loudly. "Stop!"
Morty's hand trembled and he looked at her in confusion. "What?"
Leona rushed over and snatched the bucket from his hand. She observed it carefully and asked, "What kind of water is this?"
"It's water." Morty rolled his eyes helplessly. This woman was really crazy. What other kinds of water could there be?
Leona naturally didn't believe him. After observing for the entire morning, she was a little discouraged. There was nothing special about the seedlings in the field, and there were no changes at all. They were just ordinary seedlings.
But there must be something different with this water!
At the thought of this, she reached out and scooped up a handful of water. She placed it in front of her eyes and observed it carefully. She smelled it again. There was a faint stench in the water, which was a little pungent, but it made her feel refreshed.
It was indeed not ordinary water!
At this moment, she noticed that Morty's expression was a little strange. She immediately became angry and shouted, "What are you looking at!"
Morty coughed awkwardly and explained, "That... This bucket used to be a chamber pot… It's fine if you smell it, but don't drink from it…"
This woman's fetishes were quite unique.
Leona was stunned when she heard that. The next second, she screamed and threw away the bucket in her hand. She flew to the pond at the side and washed her hands while retching non-stop.
Morty picked up the bucket helplessly.
Seriously, he had to get another bucket.
After calling two maids to water the two plots of land, Morty took out a few beast bones from the cellar and placed them in the stone mill, slowly grinding them.
Leona, who heard the commotion, could not be bothered to wash her hands. She flew to Morty and glared at him. "What is this?"
"Can't you see for yourself?" Morty rolled her eyes at her. Why did she have to ask about such an obvious thing?
"You!" Leona glared at him and reached out to snatch the bone over. She examined it carefully.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't let me eat you. I want to use it." Morty teased.
Leona glared at him and ignored him. After confirming that it was just an ordinary beast bone in her hand, she returned it to Morty and questioned, "What are you doing with the bones?"
"Grinding bone powder." Morty pointed at the cornfield beside her and said, "Bone powder can accelerate growth. Don't tell me you don't know."
Leona nodded thoughtfully.
So that was the case. It seemed that the method to grow corn quickly was bone powder.
It seemed like it was necessary to record it.
What Morty didn't expect was that this woman really didn't know!
After grinding the bone powder and sprinkling it evenly on the ground, the day's work was over. Morty moved his sore arms and returned to the manor, shouting, "Sarah, is dinner ready? "
Leona looked at his back, her eyes flickering.
"There must be a secret. I want to know what it is!"
For the entire first half of the night, she stayed in the field and stared at the seedlings in the field. The next day, when Morty came downstairs and saw her with bloodshot eyes, he was surprised and thought she had seen a ghost.
"Hey, you don't have to be so persistent, right?" Morty shouted at her.
Leona didn't even raise her head. She continued to stare at the corn stalk that had grown taller.
One night, only one night!
The corn stalks were raised by half a meter!
How was this possible?
Seeing that she didn't respond, Morty didn't ask for a snub. After muttering a few words, he returned to his room.
This continued for a week. During this period, Leona stayed in the field and observed the growth of the corn. After a week of bone powder nourishment, the corn had already grown fruits. The grains were plump and much bigger than the previous corn.
During that week, Leona could only come to a conclusion.
The effect of bone powder on plants was unparalleled.
As soon as the corn ripened, she plucked one and observed it carefully. She even peeled the corn grains one by one, but the corn was still corn. There was nothing strange about it.
"Impossible. Could it be that the mutated corn was really a coincidence?"
Leona was filled with unwillingness. She had waited for such a long time, but this was the result. How could she accept this? Fortunately, she had obtained the method to speed up the growth of plants, so it wasn't completely fruitless.
She stood up and stretched her stiff limbs. She hadn't showered for a whole week. She was not unkempt at this moment, but she was covered in sweat. She immediately ran to the pond and planned to take a shower.
Morty, who was enjoying the shade under the tree, heard the sound of splashing water. Her mind immediately flashed with the romantic scene he had with the succubus that night. Although the other party was fake, that feeling it left him was fascinating.
At the thought of this, he felt an itch in his heart. He stood up and looked in the direction of the pond, his heart full of conflict.
Should he go and take a look?
Right at this moment, a loud rumble came from the sky.
BOOM!
The loud noise scared Morty. He looked up and saw a huge fireball falling from the sky. Behind the fireball was a girl riding a broom, waving her hands and shouting, "Quick, dodge!"
Morty wasn't stupid. He wanted to escape immediately, but the fireball was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it was less than five meters above his head.
"F*ck!"
Morty cursed. Who did he offend? Was he really that unlucky?
On the other side, Leona, who was bathing, also heard the commotion. When she looked up and saw the fireball in the sky, she frowned.
"A magician? Why did they attack this place?"
Could it be that they also wanted to obtain the secret of the plant?
No!
Leona's gaze focused, and she immediately jumped out of the water. She put on her clothes and rushed in Morty's direction.
Just as the fireball was about to devour him, a muffled popping sound came from the cornfield beside him. Immediately after, a few stalks of corn shot into the sky. Some of them attacked the girl in the air, while the others quickly rushed toward the fireball.
BOOM!
A huge explosion sounded again. The fireball in the air was pierced by the flying corn, and it dissipated like a huge balloon being pierced.
On the other side, the girl riding the broom was suddenly ambushed by the corn. Her body tilted and she fell from the broom. She fell heavily to the ground, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
All of this happened too quickly. Leona had barely put on her clothes when all of this happened.
Leona's eyes almost popped out of her eye sockets when she saw the scattered corn beside the girl.
"No way… Impossible!"
