I look at the fruit of my labor and smile a little.

It has been a month since the last expedition we do to exterminate the nearby Goblin tribe. After that expedition, there is nothing too interesting happening, but I successfully created a ward around my land with that amount of time.

This ward is a combination of modern wizarding magic and green magic. This ward will accelerate the growth of any plant planted on my land, and it will also increase the amount of fruit or vegetable the tree produces by a hundred percent. Not only that, but this ward also informs me if there is a human or a demi-human with a bad intention to come to my land.

There is also an alert system on the ward that will inform me if another magic-user is walking inside my land.

Anyway, currently, my personal butler named Richard, and I look at the vegetables that grow in the land that is supposed to be barren because of the cold temperature. However, with the help of magic, the barren land became fertile and ready for plantation.

"Richard, what did the villagers say about this new change?"

"They are rejoicing, My Lord. Especially when you introduce them to a seed drill, with this new invention you created, the villagers no longer take a long time to plant the seed. Also, the seed you bring grows nicely in this climate."

While I want to try to plant a warmer type of plant in this land, I want to try and see if the plant that can grow in the winter on earth can grow in this world. So after seeing that it really grows and with the help of my ward, it is almost ready to be harvested.

I walk toward the nearest plant in front of me. This is a potato plant. When I touch the potato leaf, I use my green magic and see this plant's growth. To my surprise, I can 'see' the potato already grow in size, and it can be harvested tomorrow.

"Richard"

"Yes, My lord?"

"Please give me some of the shovels."

"My lord?"

"I want to check something."

"... Yes."

When Richard gives me a shovel, I begin to dig the potato. I can see one of the villagers sweating bullets for some reason. Don't worry, my friend, I will not destroy your hard work.

"Look like I was right. Richard tells the one that plants the potato to harvest it tomorrow morning. They are ready to be harvested."

"What? Are you sure, my lord?"

"You can look at it yourself."

When Richard looks at the potato with his own eyes, I can see him surprised at the potato's size in his hand.

"This is…."

"Looks like we will be able to pass the winter just fine."

"Yes… Yes…"

Richard then stood up and looked at it with proud eyes before saying.

"This all because of your fertilizer and the drill seed, my lord. If not for your invention, then we will have many people die of starvation this year."

"Then I'm glad I made those things."

Fertilizer is the alibi I use for the insane growth of the plant. While magic is a common thing in this world, there is almost no magic that can accelerate plant growth. This world magic is still in the discovery stage. That is why the mage in this world decide to isolate themselves and guard their knowledge for themselves.

They did not want their research of magic to get stolen by the commoner and rob their authority as one of the powerhouses of the world.

Anyway, back to the plant.

"Richard, I want you to write all the potatoes we harvest personally. I want to compare it to the future harvest. Will the harvest be reduced in number, or will it be increased? I want to know about it."

"Yes, My lord."

"Also, how is the situation around the land? Are there any more monsters creating a nest around?��

"Nothing happened for the last month. There is one or two of our merchants who get attacked by a monster around the land, but the escort can take care of it without any problem."

"I see. That is good then, but please send another scout to go around the land and make it a monthly job. I don't want the monster to have a massive number. I don't want a monster wave."

"Yes, my lord. I will tell the commander at once."

Monster waves have many different kinds. There is a one species Monster wave that usually the highest rank of said monster will lead their species to either take a breeding victim or food. Of course, their food is human flesh.

For example, if the last fight against the goblin did not happen, there is a huge chance that the Goblin king will evolve into a Goblin emperor. When the Goblin emperor is born, all the goblins around it will rank up in strength by one rank.

There is also another goblin that will evolve in the process. One of the Goblin mages will become a Goblin ArchMage that has the strength of a B+ monster. Goblin Archmage was not included in the book of monsters in the section of goblin because Goblin Arch Mage only appears when there is a Goblin Emperor.

This monster is placed among the special monsters where the other monsters usually get forced to evolve by the birth of A rank monster.

The monster wave usually has at least a thousand monsters of various strengths, from a mere E rank monster to a B rank monster. When an S rank monster leads the monster wave, there will be at least five A rank monsters.

"Good. Please send a letter to my vassal saying I want the house of Byron to do the same. I don't want my own vassals to suffer because of their own ignorance."

"Yes, my lord."

"Excellent. Now let's go back to the castle. I want the day to be almost over, and I don't want to make the people here standing here all day because of my presence."

"Of course, my lord. Please walk inside the carriage, and we will go back to the castle immediately."

I walk toward the carriage and get inside before suddenly Richard drives the carriage to my castle. I want to go back to my pocket dimension and train myself. While I'm good enough in wizarding magic, I still don't have enough mana inside my body to continuously fire a spell, especially a high-rank spell like the killing curse or Fiendfyre.

For now, I need to train and get stronger as I don't want to faint in the middle of a battle.
