Chapter 113

Wheat Field Village.

Not long after, Maiken brought a few strong farmers, and together with sickles, they plunged into the golden wheat field.

Although the farmers were shocked by the scene of the wheat seedlings suddenly maturing, under the village chief's death stare, they all kept their mouths shut and just buried their heads in harvesting the wheat.

Boge felt his hands itching, so he joined in too.

After a busy afternoon, this golden wheat field was finally all harvested and weighed, and a shocking number was finally obtained.

"Five thousand and sixteen pounds?"

Upon hearing this number, a trace of surprise inevitably appeared on Xia Mingyu's face.

"Yes, respected lord, we weighed it many times and confirmed that the total weight of the wheat is five thousand and sixteen pounds."

Maiken answered with immense reverence.

This is really too incredible!

You have to know that they usually work hard to grow wheat for a year, and even with the blessing of the Farmer protection, the yield per acre is only about two hundred pounds.

And now, this Sage lord, just with a wave of his hand, produced five thousand pounds of wheat.

This really caused the worldview of him, an old farmer who had served for a lifetime, to collapse!

"Five thousand pounds is about equal to two thousand three hundred kilograms... one person eats about zero point eight pounds of wheat a day..."

Xia Mingyu found a tree branch and wrote and drew on the ground.

Finally, he reached a conclusion: the wheat he produced by exhausting all his magic power to activate Bountiful Harvest was enough for more than five thousand people to eat their fill for a day.

For him, who had just stepped onto the Morning Star path, this number was already very considerable.

When he advances to Crescent, Crescent, and even Radiant Moon in the future, perhaps he will be able to support a country with his own strength.

Thinking of this, the corners of Xia Mingyu's mouth rose slightly.

No matter what, if he can solve the food problem and let everyone no longer be hungry, then his distant ideal will definitely take a big step forward instantly.

"Sigh, it's a pity that this ultimately cannot solve the root cause," Xia Mingyu sighed.

With the existence of unreasonable things like protections, the upper limit of productivity in this world is actually not low, it's just been firmly pressed down by some invisible big hand.

What purpose did that Gluttonous monarch have to commit such a crazy and self-destructive act?

Could it be that letting all the citizens of the country starve to death also counts as a great achievement?

Xia Mingyu's brows furrowed tightly.

And Maiken, watching the Sage lord's expression change constantly, also knew that the other party must be thinking about some big matter concerning the future of the world, so he didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing him.

After a long time, Xia Mingyu, still unable to find an answer, temporarily gave up thinking; he looked at the old man in front of him and said:

"Today's matter must be kept secret; help me distribute those wheat to the villages in the Martha fief that are still experiencing famine."

"As you command, your kindness and benevolence can simply be compared to the God of Sun."

Maiken bowed deeply, tears shimmering in his turbid eyes.

Having lived a lifetime, he finally met a true saint!

Tap, tap, tap.

The carriage sped along the winding road, the mane of the tall and sturdy black stallion fluttering in the wind, and the horseshoes struck the ground, splashing dust.

In the carriage on the way back.

"I'm in so much pain, Anliya, really so much pain; if I had known, I wouldn't have spawned so much wheat!"

After escaping the gaze of the villagers who revered him as a god, Xia Mingyu lay on the girl's soft thighs, his face as pale as paper, and a trace of pain clearly revealed in his expression.

This really wasn't him pretending to win the girl's sympathy, because magic power is a manifestation of spirit, and exhausting magic power is undoubtedly a huge burden on the body.

Although it wouldn't leave any sequelae, a headache for a while was unavoidable.

"I know, my most, most, most kind, most, most, most handsome lord, you have already worked very hard."

Anliya looked at the man's face with eyes as gentle as water; she used her slender fingers to gently press his brows and temples, like a spring breeze brushing across his face.

She tried to relieve the man's pain this way; although it might not have much effect, it was already everything she could do.

Experiencing the gentleness and cool touch of those hands, Xia Mingyu felt that the headache really eased a lot and was no longer as splitting as before.

"It seems I really can't do without you, Anliya."

Xia Mingyu sighed with his eyes closed.

Being able to walk to this day on this journey, he absolutely couldn't do without the girl's company.

Whether it was the initial teaching of literacy, or the mental pressure of the nausea when killing for the first time, etc., the girl's lap pillow and the food she made personally gave him full comfort, allowing him to quickly adapt to this cruel world.

And what Xia Mingyu didn't know was that after he said this, a layer of faint mist quickly covered the girl's azure eyes.

My lord, I am the same; I have long been unable to part with you, I love you more than everything I have.

How I want to possess you; I want your black eyes to reflect only me, only me, looking only at me.

I want to hold your hand for a lifetime, holding your shoulders and walking on forever.

I really don't want to share you with anyone... but, I am just an ordinary village woman!

I am so afraid that one day you will leave me; that would be more terrifying than death to me.

The girl's heart was surging; she wanted to pour out her love and fear, but looking at the young man resting with his eyes closed for a long time, finally, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she said nothing, just kissed the man's forehead lightly.

"Anliya, did you secretly kiss me?" Xia Mingyu muttered.

"It's all because the lord is too charming!" The girl smiled.

When the afterglow of the sunset spilled onto the city wall, the carriage finally returned to Twilight City.

And Xia Mingyu, who had been massaged by Anliya for a long time, now had his headache completely disappear.

"Finally back."

Xia Mingyu looked at the bustling streets outside the window and couldn't help but sigh.

Suddenly, he noticed a familiar figure in the crowd, so he called Boge to stop, and after the carriage stopped steadily on the side of the road, he walked out of the carriage.

"Hey, Anna, good evening!"

He waved to the girl who was standing blankly in the crowd, carrying a flower basket.

The flower girl looked in the direction of the sound, and after seeing the person she had been thinking about day and night, the blankness on her pretty face quickly disappeared, replaced by full surprise.

"Lord Spark, long time no see."

She trotted to Xia Mingyu's side and said in as calm a tone as possible.

"Yeah, haven't seen you for several days."

Xia Mingyu looked at the flower basket on the girl's arm, which was filled with flowers, and knew that she might not have been able to sell a single flower today.

"Lord Spark, I really want to..."

Anna was about to speak, but saw a beautiful golden-haired girl walk down from the carriage behind the man and hold the young man's arm very naturally.

The flower girl fell silent instantly; her heart felt as if it had been pierced hard by a nail, hurting severely.

"Give me a bunch of yellow forget-me-nots." Xia Mingyu said.

He handed over a Copper Sol, but it was gently pushed back by the flower girl.

"Lord Spark, you have helped me so much; this bunch of flowers will be my gift to you."

Anna carefully took out the bunch of forget-me-nots that were blooming most brilliantly from the flower basket and handed them to Xia Mingyu.

Afterward, she bowed respectfully and turned to disappear gradually into the noisy crowd.
