ARCHDEUS

FARM & FURIOUS(1)

In a simple horse carriage was seen a blonde youth seriously looking at the straight and slightly rocky path in front of him. The young man still looked very young and his facial expression was very unfriendly.

It had been two days and one night that the young man had to feel sleep in the wild full of suffering. Although he came from a family with a humble background but as a silly boy from the city, this young man had never experienced living in the wild. During the day he should be exposed to the sun and at night he should feel insect bites and wolf barking. In addition, his buttocks are also swollen due to continuing to sit on the saddle.

This young man was just an ordinary person who was part-time in his father's shop. He was told to send a pile of mana stones and other materials of low quality to a buyer.

As a prospective student of the Geo-Okultis Department, of course this logistical task was very annoying but there was no way he would refuse it otherwise, he would have to feel the wrath of his father.

Damn why is it so far away?!

For a part timer like him, of course he never imagined that his father's shop had even received orders from abroad so it was natural for him to condemn consumers living in rural areas.

The horse-drawn carriage continued until the evening, when he finally arrived.

The young man was momentarily quite surprised to see a customer's house that was so conspicuous for a rural environment. But considering the type of order, it is quite natural if their customers are rich.

The young man was amazed when he confirmed the transaction, apparently it was only done by an old man who was seen wearing high-class clothing.

Are they really villagers?

"Is there any more?"

"Eh no, no. Thank you sir, for trusting our products. We can guarantee our products are the best for their type and we also guarantee returns" the young man said.

When the matter was finished, the young man walked out of the villa neighborhood to his carriage but he was surprised to see some fairly large logs being lifted by a group of people.

"Wow!"

The young man was even more surprised to see a sturdy man lifting a tree trunk by himself while not far from the sturdy man, there was a group of people who had to work together just to lift another log.

The young man gave way to those people, instead the sturdy man gave a nod.

But without the young man guessing, the old servant who had entered the villa actually ran out with passion and saluted the man.

"Welcome, my lord!"

Of course, when Alex worked hard to cut wood, his subordinates could not just relax.

While Rain and Erline are currently working hard to work the land. The farmland property that Harol currently gives to Alex is quite extensive, which is about 2 ha of land that can be planted but due to limited factors of production and the type of plants grown is a magicplant then Alex only ordered to work about 50 m^2. However, the number of seeds they were able to plant was no more than 340 seeds. So there is no need to waste energy to work all the land.

While Rain and Erline were working hard on the land, Justin and Alven were busy sorting the materials to be used. In addition to which stone there are several types of rock material that must be used such as rock magic coal. The stone as the name suggests is a type of sedimentary rock created due to deposits of supernatural creatures such as magic plants. The shape of the magic coal still resembles coal in general but there are small crystals whose color is much more opaque than the color of the coal itself.

The crystals are deposits of mana that have decayed and then blackened. Different from where the stone comes from mining on the Ley Line which if processed can produce pure mana, the extraction process of mana in magic coal can actually produce dark mana which is very commonly used by demonoids to create cursed weapons.  For domestic locations of magic coal mining in Artchanian Kingdom most come from the southernmost regions of the country such as the County of Yorksall and March of Canadia regions.

Then there are other rock materials, namely the heart of glacier or others who call it as frost stone, ice tuff, to the core of snowworld. Whatever the name, this stone has a form like a chunk of ice in general but has a stronger blue color gradient. In addition, its shape is also much more solid than ice and will not melt even if left in the sun. Heart of glacier is found in many glaciers so experts, especially the magicians of the department of geo-occultis and its derivatives such as alchemy even clumps of applied science such as arcanomantics believe that these rocks appear along with the process of glacier formation that comes from the deposition of ice in a very long time. This rock is widely used as a supplement for magic beasts and magic plants that have the same elements, such as, in addition, it can be material in creating elemental weapons, especially water and ice elements or protective equipment for resistance from similar elements. Heart of glacier is a comparative commodity of the Duchy of Norchaster.

Then there was a pile of bluish-green soil. This land is called Leyneous Soil. Historically, the existence of the land was discovered accidentally when mining on the Ley Line. With the existence of nature spilled into the soil layer substratum which occurs when mining mana in a long time.  The benefits of this soil resemble fertilizer for almost all types of magic plants.

Igneous Dior is a type of magic rock created due to the encounter between the natural residuals of the Ley Path and the lava flows beneath the earth. The meeting between supernatural and endogenic forces in a very long time can create Igneous Dior rocks that have two layers, namely a gray crust with a bluish pattern and the next is the inner layer also called hypopluton, it has a bright red color. Visually Igneous Dior is similar to a hard-boiled egg that cracks so that the contents of the egg can almost be seen. This rock has a very diverse function because in addition to being a material of magic equipment of the type of elements and seals, it can also be used as a booster for magic plants.

Lastly, Thatch of Species is a plant that resembles straw. The plant is classified as a level E magic plant. Although the level is low but the role it has cannot be underestimated. This magic plant is widely used by magic beasts, especially poultry types as material to make nests. By using Thatch of Species as a nest, it aims to help magic beasts in carrying out their revolutionary process. This is because this plant even though it has become dry straw but still emits energy buffs in helping the revolution. In addition to helping magic beasts evolve, this plant can also help fellow magic plants to evolve to a higher level. That's why it's generally found that magic plants with high enough levels and excellent quality grow around thatch of species.

The five materials are certainly not cheap even the price is much more expensive than the price of magic plant seeds that have been purchased before.

Alex straightened his body to look at the wood he had cut. For a moment he thought everything was going strange. Alex is committed to being a slacker who knows nothing. Now he has to work if he wants to eat. Even as an archdeus, he wondered how all this could end up like this.

Alex is now not Alex a year ago who looks like a spoiled young master who has pale white skin like milk and a face as smooth as baby skin.

He can now be said to be a man who is ready to enter society. With his sturdy body and skin that turned brown due to the sword training he had done before.

Alex touched his shoulder. Although limited by his clothes but he can still feel the bite marks left on his shoulder.

"Huh ..."

Right, right now he is still a blood bag that provides fresh blood for Merry. At this time the girl was getting more stable but Merry's dependence on blood was getting stronger. Alex felt that if it continued like this all of his blood would be sucked dry.

"Sir, we're done!"

Not far from where Alex is, Rain reports on his work with pride.
