Chapter 38: Birth of Farmland
Sui made an unbelievable statement.
"Sprouts are coming out?"
Such a thing is impossible, even for someone like me who knows nothing about agriculture.
But just looking at Sui's face, she doesn't seem to be lying.
Could it be true?
"Sui, are you really saying sprouts are coming out of the farmland?"
"Yes, it's true!! You'll see when you go outside, Franz-sama!!"
"Alright, I'll go outside and see for myself!"
I don't doubt Sui, but sometimes you need to see it to believe it.
I stepped outside my house.
"W-what, what, what is this! Sprouts are coming out all over the place!!"
"Franz-sama, that's why I said the entire farmland is sprouting! Just as I told you!"
What Sui said was indeed astonishing.
Yesterday, we created an extensive farmland.
Using Mithril farming tools, we tilled a vast area.
We planted seeds there, but could these sprouts be all of them? They were rapidly sprouting from the soil.
As far as the eye could see, there were rice paddies and vegetable fields.
It's exciting, but why did they grow so rapidly?
I didn't use any special fertilizer; I just watered them.
"It's amazing! The entire area has turned into farmland! We planted wheat and rice seeds, as well as seeds for sweet potatoes and vegetables. They have all grown. It's unbelievably fast!!"
"I can't believe it either. I thought it would take more time. Perhaps, Franz-sama, there's a mystery in your alchemized farming tools."
"You mean my alchemized tools. I alchemized Mithril farming tools. When I lightly tilled the soil with those Mithril tools, all of the soil became cultivated. Could it be that when I use Mithril farming tools to till the soil, it becomes easier for the soil to grow?"
"Yes, that's right. Mithril farming tools must have tremendous power, thanks to Franz-sama's high-level magic. When you lightly tilled the soil, all of it became soft. I was surprised too. If we consider that the soil became soft and conducive to growth, it explains everything. Mithril farming tools are truly extraordinary!"
Sui was only speculating, but her words stimulated me.
The alchemized tools were made from the claws of the Jaguarman, Mithril, and medicinal mushrooms. It was the first item I ever created.
Perhaps the materials taken from the medicinal mushrooms contained growth-promoting elements.
And when combined with the alchemized Mithril material from the Jaguarman's claws, it became the Mithril farming tools.
