Topaz, the golem maid of Horai Island, is in charge of land development.

Amezu and Ruby, who were created at the same time, were in charge of defense, Perid was in charge of housekeeping, and Aqua was in charge of flood control.

Each of them had subordinates numbered from 1 to 100, and they worked day in and day out.

Land development is a simple but important task.

Because it will produce the food needed by Jin, the master of the land.

Topaz leaders, who are the heads of Topaz 1 to 100, are given the knowledge necessary for their activities by Jin and Lao Kun (after all, it is Jin's knowledge).

Most of the uncertainties can be solved by checking with the old man, so there is hardly any problem in the daily work.

"The orchard is finished and the fields are ready.

Topaz mutters to himself. This is a habit he inherited from Jin. Living alone for a long time makes you talk to yourself a lot.

In front of Topaz's eyes, fields and orchards stretched as far as the eye could see.

The fields are wheat and barley. Since the fruit trees grow in all seasons, we sowed wheat to see if it would grow well, and it is growing rapidly and will be harvested soon.

The fruit trees are Persica, Apulle, Citran. And maruons, ornats, and ramons. And some ramons.

The most useful one is Persica.

The fruit tree, which is very similar to the in the modern earth, blossoms in spring and bears fruits in summer in this world, but here in Hourai Island, it can be harvested almost all year round.

I found this in the geological characteristics of Horai Island.

< of free magical element (ether) running through it.

The old man said. This is still under investigation and has not been reported to Jin.

Lao Tzu, the mobile terminal of Lao Jiun, and Topaz 11 to 30 are cooperating in the investigation, and a conclusion will be reached in a few days. We will report to Jin after that.

Adriana Barbora Zetsi, the Magecraft Meister of the previous generation, established her base here because of the rich veins of ore that lie beneath the ground.

The old man guessed so, and the investigation based on his guess started.

In fact, the growth rate of crops in Horai Island is very fast.

It was confirmed that the plants with higher magical properties grow faster.

The best example is Persica.

Fruit trees such as Persica, Apurul, and Citran, which have probably been growing wild for a long time, are growing in all four seasons without exception.

Topaz recalls the conversation he had with the old man the day before yesterday.

"How was it?"

Topaz asked him, but she had already guessed the answer. And then she said, "I was very happy,

The answer came back as he had guessed.

According to Jin's theory, free magic elements (ether) are smaller than elementary particles and can pass through matter.

The only way to hold the free-magic element (ether) in place is by magical power.

"But the free magic element (ether) stays in Persica's fruit, doesn't it? ......"

<<
The mana in the body decreases when magic is used, but over time it recovers by taking in free magic elements (ether) in the air.

This mana can take various forms of energy and can be manipulated by the will and image of the person who purified it. This is magic.

This is the theory of magic, which Jin has added his own interpretation to the theory developed by his predecessors.

Those who do not have magic power cannot take it in, and therefore cannot use it.

"However, free magic element (ether) stays in Persica fruit. In other words, the fruit itself has magical power, right?

If the fruit has magic power, then the tree also has magic power.

In areas with a high concentration of free ether, the power of magic is increased.

"This is why magical plants (tentative name) grow quickly on Horai Island, isn't it?

This is the conclusion that the old man and Topaz have come to.

The only thing left to do is to discover the vein of free magic element (tentative name) that should be under the ground.

This has already been proven to some extent.

We know this by the fact that < and , which feed on free magic element (ether), live and thrive in large numbers in the underground of the island.

Now we just have to wait for the results of the survey to confirm this.

By the way, the discovery of the magical properties of Persica and other species has been an indicator for finding a revolutionary conservation method.

On April 11, the ether stocker was completed, and the old man stored some experimental fruits in it.

According to the report, the fruits in the ether stocker did not deteriorate at all, while they slowly deteriorated in an ordinary refrigerator.

Since there is no problem at all in storing non-magic items in the ether stocker, all the refrigerators and freezers in the institute have been converted to use the ether stocker.

"This will also prevent any fruit that the master doesn't eat from spoiling, right?"

Yes, the fruits that she has been stockpiling for Jin's sake will go bad in about a month even if they are kept in the refrigerator.

They were a waste, so the damaged ones were dried and used as feed for the fish kept in the fish tanks in Tatsumi Bay.

However, since the refrigerator was used as an ether stocker, we have been able to store them without letting them spoil.

A small part of this is used by the fifth column (quinta) scattered all over the country.

"Oh, Persica is rare at this time of year! I'll pay you as much as you want!"

Many noblemen would say so. By giving gifts to these nobles, they are able to make connections and obtain various information.

The old man, who guessed so, had the fifth column (Quinta) secretly conduct human experimentation.

The experiment on human body is just to measure the amount of magic power before and after eating Persica.

Jin devised this measuring device based on his previous experience of measuring magical properties in the guilds of the Kingdom of Egelea.

The principle is simple. It uses the phenomenon of magical resonance to measure the magical power possessed by the subject.

Nobles who eat Persica usually have magical power. Therefore, it was possible to secretly measure and collect data.

According to the results, it was found that the Persica from Horai Island was highly effective in restoring magic power, just as it was guessed.

Then, the old man informed Topaz that he had received some interesting information from the Secret Service (SP) attached to Jin.

.

If you think about it, the flowers should have just fallen. There should be no fruits growing in the Klein Kingdom, which is much further north than Horai Island. Topaz wonders, and asks a question.

"Where did this Persica come from?


The old man answered immediately.

The results of the investigation came in the next day.

The Kingdom of Klein is a backward country in terms of magical technology, but on the contrary, its agriculture is somewhat more advanced than other countries.

To my surprise, there was a <>.

An orchard surrounded by stones on three sides. The remaining one side and the ceiling of the greenhouse were covered with huge crystal slabs.

Inside the greenhouse, they use magi stones to keep the orchard warm at night so that they can harvest the fruit in the spring.

"They are kept in the cold until November, and then in December they start keeping them warm.

Regulus 2 concluded.

"I suppose the fact that you feasted on something so valuable means that the masters are welcome to it.

Topaz said to the old man.

In this way, Topaz is working day and night in cooperation with the old man to improve Jin's diet.
