Weird Wizarding World

   "What do you think the Lord of Tilemie wants to do?"

  Leaving the palace, representatives of various chambers of commerce found a secret room to gather in a tacit agreement.

  Frank leaned on the chair and asked first.

   "I'm afraid it's to raise the price." A chamber of commerce representative said without hesitation.

   "It doesn't look like..." someone retorted.

   "Is it because I think I earn too much and deliberately earn less? Or, is it to feed those common people?"

   "This..." The representative of the Chamber of Commerce froze for a moment, unable to refute it with words.

   "No matter what the Lord of Tilaimei plans to do, our purpose is to buy food." Douglas said in a deep voice at the right time,

   "The gathering here is probably not for the sake of quarreling. Let's get to the point as soon as possible and discuss a suitable countermeasure!"

   "Your Excellency Douglas is right."

   "That's right, everyone discussed and discussed what to do."

   "..."

  Under the leadership of Douglas, in the secret room, the topic of businessmen began to discuss countermeasures.

   "In my opinion, as long as we resolutely disagree with those terms, after a while, Tilami will naturally let go." A chunky middle-aged businessman with a goatee, his eyes shining brightly, suggested first.

   "That's right, without our help, the Tilaimei Plain wouldn't be able to sell that much grain!" Several representatives of the chamber of commerce nearby echoed.

"I heard that in the south of Neustadt, near the Kingdom of Kage, new farmland was opened up last year, and the wheat planted is estimated to be mature. Even if Tilemie's side doesn't loosen up by then, we are not helpless!" A businessman echoed and suddenly said again.

   "Yes, that is the farmland opened up by Mr. Johnson. Our chamber of commerce has sent people there, and Tilami is not the only choice!"

   "That's right, even if Tilaimei has not let go, it's not like we can't buy food!"

  A businessman echoed that Mr. Johnson's opening of new farmland was not a secret, and many of them knew about it.

   But even so, there are still some chamber of commerce representatives who are not aware of this matter. At this moment, a look of surprise appeared on their faces, and a thoughtful look flashed in their eyes.

  The businessmen continued to discuss following the suggestion of the chunky businessman.

  Simply formulate some principles for negotiating with Atbold every day, and plan to find some ways to contact Colin directly to see if there is room for change.

  Finally, the chunky businessman with the goatee stood up and looked around and said:

   "We are in the same camp. You can't secretly agree to the terms of the Lord of Tilaimei, otherwise you will lose your own interests in the end."

"Of course!"

   "How can we be such short-sighted people!"

   All the businessmen echoed.

  Although such a delay does not seem to be an effective countermeasure, there is only so much they can do.

   After all, the grain grows in the Tilaimei Plain, and the owner is a distinguished member of parliament. Unless the Supreme Council issues a clear order, no one can control how Colin wants to sell the grain.

  This is the truth that everyone understands.

   There is also the farmland opened up by Congressman Jonson. Although it is true that there is one more choice, they all know that the food in the Tilemei Plain is the bulk.

   What's more, according to the feedback from the companions of the chamber of commerce, that congressman has a lot of appetite.

  However, there is still some time before the spring harvest at this time, at least they are standing on the same front now.

  The party ended here, and all the merchants left, with firm expressions on their faces—at least it seemed so now.

   "This is the largest wheat harvesting machine, with a length of 13 meters, a width of 7 meters, and a height of nearly 6 meters. It is named Wheat Ear No. 1."

  In the huge factory building, Shelley is pointing to the behemoth beside him and introducing it to Colin.

  This giant steel beast has a metallic gray-black primary color throughout. The drum header in the front exudes a silvery cold light, and the magic stone power source in the middle and rear is emitting a faint blue light.

  Colin walked around it, stroked the cold outer wall, and nodded in satisfaction.

   "As for the smaller harvesters next to them, they are Wheat Ear No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 from the largest to the smallest."

   "These five types of harvesters are enough to deal with all the terrains of the entire Tilaimei Plain."

  Shelley looked at these harvesters, thinking of the terrifying harvesting efficiency they displayed, couldn't help but smile on his face.

   "With the current number of harvesters, how long will it take to harvest the wheat in the entire Tilaimei Plain?" Colin continued to ask.

   "It won't take more than three days." Shelley thought for a while and said, "If all goes well, all the wheat can be harvested within two days."

  Although he has known for a long time that the appearance of the harvester will bring about a huge increase in efficiency, Colin couldn't help raising his eyebrows at the time Shelley said:

   "That's a huge improvement."

   "Yes, in the past, relying on serfs, the entire Tilaimei Plain had to be busy for at least half a month, and this was the result of all efforts to harvest without counting the loss of serfs."

  Shelley’s tone was also a little emotional. She stared blankly at the harvester in front of her, and suddenly turned her head to Colin and said solemnly:

   "My heartfelt thanks on behalf of the truth, Colin."

   "The serfs in Tilami should also thank you. With these harvesters, wheat harvesting will become a thing of the past. From then on, no serf will die because of it."

   It seemed that the words were not solemn enough. After Shelley finished speaking, she bent down and stroked her chest, performing a standard wizard salute.

  Colin was taken aback for a moment, and an extremely complicated emotion appeared inexplicably in his heart.

  He looked at the giant steel beasts neatly parked in the warehouse in front of him, his eyes were a little dazed.

  Although the appearance is somewhat different, whether it is a cylindrical header or a crawler-type fuselage, they are all so familiar.

   "You don't need to thank me, Shelley." Recovering his senses, Colin shook his head lightly and said, "We are mutually beneficial."

  "If there is no truth that will be developed day and night, the ideas of these harvesters cannot be turned into reality in such a short period of time."

Making a harvester from scratch is not as simple as imagined. If it weren't for the help of a large number of wizards who are good at making witchcraft with the help of the truth, it would be at least impossible to create a harvesting prototype in this world without supporting industries. It takes a year... It is impossible to make a mature and reliable harvester before the spring harvest.

  Shelley pursed her lips. Although the truth is true, in terms of importance, Colin's thoughts are obviously more important.

   Without these genius ideas, no matter how hard they try, they may not be able to bring such a big change to Tilai Meilai.

   "Without the Truth Society, there are other wizards who can make these great machines according to your ideas, but without your talents, there are no other wizards who can make them appear in this world."

  Colin also understood this truth. He didn't refute Shelley's words, but just caressed the giant steel beast in front of him. His eyes were far away, and he suddenly said:

   "I'm actually not a person with too much ambition. Back in the extreme north, you invited me to join the Truth Society, but you refused at first."

   "It's hard to say that what you're doing now is completely for the serfs, for the people at the bottom of this world."

  Colin's eyes were dark, he turned to look at Shelley and said, "It's just that I do have some...'talents'."

   Speaking of this, he paused, and said something that made Shelley a little confused.

   "That's the talent my hometown gave me."

  “There is another motto in my hometown, which impresses me deeply——

  Da will benefit the world. "

   "It probably means that if you are developed, you should also think about helping your brothers... other people in the world will develop together."

   Speaking of this, Colin couldn't help but smile.

  This explanation is what I often said in my previous life when I was drinking beer with friends at night snack stalls...

  The other one is Gou Fugui...

  It's a pity that he hasn't heard these familiar words for several years.

  Inexplicably, Colin suddenly remembered a bright full moon.

   That was the full moon that he saw when he first came to this world, walking on the stone road led by the Rapp wizard with... the dead Erica, it was very similar to the previous life, but it had nothing to do with the full moon.

  ... It's another world after all.

  Colin's eyes dimmed, he exhaled lightly and smiled to Shelley:

  "Since I have these talents, I naturally don't want them to be buried. So you don't need to thank me too much. These things can bring changes to the world, and I hope to see them."

  'So... it is not in vain to come here once in this life. ’ he added silently in his mind.

  Although Shelley didn't understand, she was never a person who liked to ask questions, so she just nodded and didn't say anything more.

   "In recent days, you have worked hard to continue testing the harvester, and you must make sure that no mistakes will be made." Colin continued to order, thinking for a while and then said:

   "Also, remember to continue to keep the whole process confidential, and don't reveal the existence of the agricultural machinery before harvesting."

   Perhaps it is unfounded worry, but this time the spring harvest is too important to Neustadt and to the entire wizarding world, and he does not allow any accidents to occur.

   "Does Your Excellency Sylvester have time recently?" Colin suddenly said again,

   "In two days, I will go to Neustadt to apply to the Supreme Council for wizard support. If Your Excellency Sylvester is free, I would like to ask him to come and sit in the battle."

   "I'm afraid not." Shelley shook his head.

   "The instructor is still on the front line, and there is also a great need for manpower there. It is estimated that he cannot escape."

   "So..." Colin felt a little regretful.

  But now the war is in full swing, the entire Siya continent is recruiting wizards to join the war, and there is a shortage of people everywhere, which is also impossible.

  The food in the Tilemei Plain is indeed very important, but the city of Meredith on the front line is obviously more important, and Neustadt, which is slightly behind, is equally important... These places need enough wizards to stay behind.

   Farewell to Shelley, Colin hid himself and came to the burrow.

  As he advanced to the third-level knight, no matter how much he restrained his power, the silver chamber could no longer bear the burden of his daily practice.

  The Catacomb became his new training ground.

  It has been many days since the will and the spirit have been integrated. During this time, almost every other day, Colin can feel the obvious improvement of his own strength.

   However, this kind of improvement is limited after all. In the past few days, the speed of strength improvement has slowed down greatly. It is estimated that in two days, his strength will reach an unprecedented peak!

  Boom!

   Lightly swinging his fist, the rock wall in front of him cracked, revealing a huge hole. Colin looked calm, and first practiced the knight breathing method.

  …

   Two days later.

   "Mr. Claire, this spring harvest, I'm afraid I will have to trouble you to take care of it."

  Golden Wheat Ear Wizard Tower.

  Colin bowed respectfully to the wizard in front of him.

   "It should be, don't be so polite." Claire smiled, "Your Excellency Noyce often mentioned you to me, and he was full of praise in his words."

  Claire is tall and tall, with waist-length brown hair, but her face is covered with a special white mask, covering her mouth and nose, leaving only a pair of red eyes, which looks quite strange.

  Colin nodded. This morning he had planned to go to the Supreme Council to seek support, but he had just arrived at the entrance of the Supreme Council Hall when he met the Grand Councilor Claire who was about to come to Tiremy to station him.

   Obviously, the Supreme Council also attaches great importance to this year's spring harvest, and has dispatched wizards in advance to support it.

  Besides, this congressman seems to have a good relationship with Noyce, and his attitude towards him is very peaceful, and he is very easy to communicate with... This, to a certain extent, made him breathe a sigh of relief.

  After all, he doesn't want to meet a grumpy support wizard... If it's just a grumpy temper, it's okay, but I'm afraid that he won't be able to communicate and listen to opinions. Even if there is no crisis, I'm afraid there will be some troubles.

   "Is there any special change in Tilaimei recently?"

  Claire asked as she walked into the wizard tower.

   "I organized wizards to patrol the plains every day, and I also arranged manpower to monitor abnormal situations in various regions. So far, no abnormalities have been found." Colin shook his head and said.

   "Preparing for a rainy day... not bad." Claire cast an appreciative look, "I don't have any suggestions for improvement, and continue to monitor. If there is any abnormality, let me know as soon as possible."

   "This spring harvest is extremely important. You solved the conspiracy of the gods to pollute the farmland last time, but failed... This spring harvest, I am afraid there will be some action."

  Colin nodded. He thought so too, so he rushed to the Supreme Council to ask for support.

   Now that there is an extra fourth-tier wizard sitting in Tiremei, he feels a little more relaxed.

  At least now, no matter what crisis they encounter, even if another fourth-tier enemy comes, they will be able to hold on until support arrives.

  The next week, everything will be calm.

  There were no abnormalities anywhere in the Tilemei Plain. During the period, Colin and Claire also checked the crypt below the plain, and found no abnormal signs.

  Everything is so normal and peaceful.

  Colin and Claire did not take it lightly. As long as the spring harvest is not really completed and the food is not safely stored, they will not take it lightly.

  However, they didn't wait for any changes to happen. On the contrary, it was the matter of the grain trade on Atebold's side that ushered in the changes first—

  One evening, a businessman hid his whereabouts and quietly came to the palace to ask for an audience.
