Chapter 532 - Farming In The Six Star Magic Circle
“Yes, Young Master. Don’t worry!” Steward Lindsey was quite shocked to see the newly harvested crops. He was very familiar with farming, and he knew it was not harvesting season. And these types of crops normally grew in different seasons, so there was only one explanation. Abel came up with a way to speed up the growth of crops.By this point, steward Lindsey was filled with excitement. Harvest City had the best soil for agriculture in the Holy Continent. It had always been responsible for supplying grains to the entire Duchy of Carmel. It was their biggest export, especially after Abel had become the city ruler.
If there was really a way to make crops grow faster, then it would be amazing for the development of this domain.
After Abel had handed over all the work to steward Lindsey, he examined the space within the 6 star magic circle. The circle was covering an area of 5 square miles. Wizard Morton, Wizard Yveline, and the low ranking Wizard sent over by Wizard Murphy were already training inside it. There were around 100 men in total.
Although they had only taken up a tiny bit of space, the 6 star magic circle needed protection. He couldn’t build anything other than the 6 magic towers; that was why it was so empty.
Abel picked out an empty area not far from the battle castle in the center. Abel opened up 3 acres of soil. It was not that he didn’t want to open up more, but he needed to install a barrier circle, and 3 acres were perfect.
Abel had a lot of credit points in Liante City, but no matter how many he had, he could only exchange them intermediate one in the list.
Abel also needed to take the amount of labor into consideration. He wanted to try it out with some wheat first, and he would leave all the work to Flora. Flora also had a lot of work in hand, but 3 puppets probably wouldn’t take up too many resources.
It was easy to exchange an intermediate barrier circle for Abel. He just needed to send Bartoli for a run.
Afterward, Abel installed the barrier circle on the 3 acres of soil, and just like that, there was another special dimension in the 6 star magic circle.
Ever since the start, Abel warned the low ranking wizards to go anywhere far from their magic tower, especially the center of the six star magic circle. It had a grand 6 star overhead that could kill elite wizards, so none of those wizards would dare to go.
“Flora, do you a formula for growing wheat?” Abel asked after he finished installing the barrier circle.
“Searching for wheat growing formula....”
“Found 563 formulas in total. Do you want me to read each of them out?” Flora replied in almost no time.
“No thanks, I have some wheat seeds here. Tell the puppets to plant them for me!” Abel said as he took out the seeds from his portal bracelet.
All of these seeds were carefully picked by Abel. Selecting the best seed was the most primitive way to increase the quality of a crop in his past world. He had only done this because he could grow too much of it.
Most importantly, these things would be eaten by his closest friends and family, so he had to put in full effort.
“Master, according to the formulas, it isn’t wheat season. Through my calculations, your success rate will be 1%, so I suggest not planting right now!” Tower spirit Flora said in an extremely sincere tone.
Although Flora had gotten a lot smarter, it was still a computer.
“Flora. My commands are top priority!” Abel said in a low voice.
“Yes, master. I will do as you said!”
“Organise 3 puppets. Each one will manage an acre. Grow it according to the normal formula, but you have to use the water I provide. Just dilute it with normal water with a ratio of 1/100.” Abel continued.
At first, Abel thought tower spirit Flora was very smart but seemed Abel needed to spend more time with it. Flora was the combination of a data analysis spirit and a battle fort spirit. It could only do data analysis and execute battle commands perfectly.
However, Abel was asking it to grow crops; it had never done anything like it before. Still, tower spirit Flora was intelligent; the puppets began to get to work after Abel told them about each step.
Abel kept the combined water in a giant water tank on the second floor of the magic towers. That place was his laboratory, and that tank was for wizards experiments. It was perfect.
The way tower spirit Flora water those crops would probably make a lot of wizards angry. It directly teleported a bit of the combined water to mid-air, then created some normal water by infusing the ice and fire circle. After the 2 types of water had mixed, it divided it into little droplets and scattered down the land.
It seemed simple but took up a lot of mana, even more than the mana an entire normal magic tower could produce.
However, Abel’s magic was different. Besides the giant mana gathering circle, the magic tower itself also had a mana gathering circle. Most importantly, it was run by top level mana gems that could unleash the most powerful effects.
Also, Abel never meditated in the magic tower anyway, so every day it had gathered up a lot of energy. Now was a good time to use up some of them,

Other than going into the Dark World for 10 hours, Abel spent the day looking at the puppets until they harvested the crops. His calculations said they would be done in 24 hours.
He then taught Flora how to pick out the best seeds, and finally, Abel was free from this. Flora could take care of it from then on. The most he needed to do is replenish the combined water from time to time.
The schedule was set. Everyday, a puppet would go to get a bucket of water and hand it to steward Lindsey. Steward Lindsey would dilute with normal water according to the ratio of 1/100, so they could do this small experiment.
After the 3 puppets had harvested the crops in the barrier circle, they would give it to Bartoli. Then she would organize the contracted chefs to dry, de-shell, and bake the bread.
After a few days, The careful Lord of Marshall realized they were actually wasting a lot. The shells of the grains could be fed to the war horses.
At first, he just fed it to his normal horse, but after a few days, he realized that the horses had gotten noticeably stronger, faster, and more stamina.
From then on, The Lord of Marshall would keep the wheat shells. It made sense since that water combined through the Horadric cube had turned the entire crop into magic.
Since they were producing 3 acres of wheat every day, it was more than enough for the tens of war horses in the family.
These days the Knight of Bennett had also begun to take over the Harvest City Elite knight brigade. The official resource division had begun, and the 20 most outstanding knights were rewarded with the best training resource.
Since they had produced more crops than they had expected. Both the elite knight brigade and the knight servants in Harry castle were able to get some.
This Earl domain in Harvest City was headed towards a bright future, and it was all thanks to this unnoticeable little farmland growing wheat, oat, and barley. The only one who was truly aware of this was Steward Lindsey. Once the experiment had succeeded, Harvest Acith would become the food inventory of the Holy Continent. That was when the Earl Domain would truly explode.
