The Useless 8th Prince
Special Area No.02
“Thank you for reminding me, Camellia?”
Ciel smiled softly after realizing that he had forgotten the little things. Sometimes, always looking up is not good. Once in a while, maybe there will be something we can realize.
“It's my job, Mr.”
“Then let me take care of the rest. You can go.”
“According to your order, Mr.” Camellia bowed politely.
Before Camellia leaves the room, Ciel suddenly thanks, “Please tell Ariana if there is no need to wait for me dinner. After finishing this, I have other needs. Also ... please call Jean to come here.”
“Good, Mr.”
Seeing Camellia leave, Ciel immediately picked up the paper and started writing. In addition to the swirling area in Black Lily City, she had two other areas centered on Greenscale City and Black Orchid City.
After careful thought, Ciel decided to change the City of Greenscale and the surrounding area as an area devoted to the cultivation of low to middle class medicinal plants.
As the name suggests, medicinal plants are also classified into several levels like the demon level. Level 1 potions usually require a level 1 medicinal plant that belongs to a low level. While the middle level plants are plants with levels 3 and 4. In essence, the level of medicinal herbs and potions was roughly the same as the level of demons.
Although Ciel had plans of making a mid-level medicinal farm, it was only a level 3 crop and only as a minority. After all, growing medicinal plants was not easy. Requires a lot of energy, time, and cost for treatment. Not to mention, the farmers are obviously not used to dealing with ‘ such expensive’ items.
“What should I do about seedlings?” muttered Ciel with a serious expression.
Ciel began to write many things. Not only is the writing disheveled, there are many cross marks or ticks here and there. The young man really tried his best to maximize his plan.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
“Log in,” said Ciel casually.
“Nona Camellia says you are looking for me, Mr.”
Jean who entered the room immediately saluted said without further ado.
“True. Because the pests in the various areas ordered by the Viscounts had been resolved. Moreover, there is already a recipe for making pesticides, you can call your six subordinates.
You leave tomorrow. Official letter for withdrawal I will make later tonight.”
Hearing Ciel's explanation, Jean felt somewhat uneasy. As an Entomancer, he and his subordinates were arguably carriers of the plague and hated by many. Being a person who oversees agriculture may be one way that they are considered harmless and even help a lot. If they are pulled back, there are only two answers …
Sent to the battlefield or eliminated.
“Are you going to launch an attack on enemy territory soon, Mister?”
Ciel was somewhat astonished when he heard Jean's question. He did not expect that person to have a slightly exaggerated thought.
“You think too much. Other than a little farming in the area around Black Lily City or Black Orchid City. Within the territory I personally manage ... The area of Greenscale City that has more agriculture and is more fertile, right?”
“That's right, Sir. The area around Greenscale City was even more fertile than the area belonging to the two Viscounts who were touted as the southern region's staple producers.”
Ciel smiled after seeing that Jean was not only carrying out her duties, but was also looking for meaningful information in the area she was watching. The young man found it easier to direct Jean.
“I want you and six others to move to the Greenscale region. You will be the guardians and overseers of the territory. You can do it, right?” said Ciel.
“So sudden?” Jean looked surprised by Ciel's decision.
“I will make a new project in the form of a special area number 02. If the area around Blackrock City became a special area of the Heteromorph race, the area around Greenscale City would be converted into a special area of medicinal plant farming.
“A area as important as that .... you really entrust it to us?” asked Jean in surprise.
“Medicine plants need more attention by farmers. In addition, they may be susceptible to certain insects. As an Entomancer, you guys are best suited to this mission.
Not to mention, if you seven are together .. I won't worry about security. After all, when together, you are no weaker than a level 5 (early).” demon
“I will carry out this mission well, Mr.” Jean knelt down with a serious expression.
“Build.” Ciel smiled gently. “Go home and meet your family. Tomorrow you will leave.”
“According to your command, Mr.” Jean replied while saluting before leaving.
Seeing Jean leave, Ciel let out a long sigh. Lean on the chair while closing his eyes.
...***...
Day Night.
It appeared that ten carriages of horse carriages driven by ten robed figures were heading towards Black Lily Castle. At first the guards were about to stop them, but Elena was in the first carriage of the train and showed a simple letter that the ‘’ items in the carriage were orders from Prince Luciel.
Passing through the guard post safely, the ten horse carriages headed straight for the food storage warehouse. After passing through the guard in front of the warehouse safely, the ten horse carriages proceeded to the back of the storage shed.
From each carriage of the horse carriage, nine or eight black-robed figures descended. After everyone descended and marched, they numbered 93 excluding Elena.
“You've finally come.”
From behind the shadow, Ciel who was wearing a black robe appeared. He immediately raised his hands, making them all silent and not greeting. The young man did not want to hear the commotion at night and made people suspicious.
“Follow me.”
After saying that, Ciel immediately turned around. Elena and the other 93 people immediately followed Ciel. They reached the back of the castle, near the main building and it was Ciel's private place so there wasn't a single person there.
They then entered the dark hallway. Afterwards, Ciel led them through a secret passage that led downwards. Down so many stairs, they finally arrived at a very large basement.
Rather than a basement, it resembled a large cave with a high ceiling. Because a castle is built on a mountain or a hill, there is no cave under the mountain.
On the left and right, there are many artificial rooms that look simple but complete and comfortable. In addition, there are several facilities such as a large warehouse for storing food, a field that can be used for training, and several other facilities.
Elena looked straight at Ciel. Seeing this place, he suspected that this basement was actually a renovation Ciel for other purposes. For example, to hide a mistress without the knowledge of his wife or concubine.
Sensing the sharp gaze from Elena, Ciel couldn't help but ask.
“Is there a problem, Elena?”
“Nothing,” reply Elena in a cold tone.
Ciel's eyes blinked. He looks helpless.
Can't you be honest? How am I supposed to know something if you're not talking?
Damnit damnit! That so-called sensitization also has its limits!
Looking at Elena's attitude, Ciel was completely confused about having to cry or laugh.
