The super lord of the island

Chapter 17 017. Ancient Well
In the room, the air was exceptionally quiet.

After a brief silence, Mag was the first to speak to break the dullness.

"My lord, after you fell into a coma, I took someone to check the well in the village, but the bottom of the well was covered with weeds and gravel, and no water could be seen."

"How deep is the bottom of the well?" Jialan frowned. The important point in deciding to take down Aurora Village was the well, but it was a dry well.

"Uh... Visually, the depth is five or six meters. The bottom of the well is partially buried by gravel, so the actual depth should go further down."

"The mouth of the well is exposed to the air, and it's normal to have weeds and dead branches, but where did the gravel come from?" Jialan thought for a while, and there seemed to be no other possibility except that someone deliberately threw it down. "I suspect that the well was deliberately Blockage and damage, tomorrow you will take someone to clean up the gravel at the bottom of the well to see if water seeps out."

"Yes."

Mag nodded in response.

Living on an island, the source of fresh water is the most important thing. Obtaining it is more difficult than food, so Jialan does not hesitate to invest manpower to revitalize the well.

After arranging the water well, Jialan asked about the food again, but Mai Duo was in charge of the food, and Mag ran to call Mai Duo over again.

"Servant Mai Duo has met the lord."

"Get up, how much food do we have left?"

"Returning to the master, the food was originally estimated to be enough for a week, but later Wali Pharmacist joined, and there are two days of heavy tasks such as attacking slime and relocating the camp. In order to replenish the physical strength of the personnel, the food consumption will increase accordingly. Save some If you eat it, you can last for three days."

"Three days...too short. It takes at least three months to plant a season of potatoes, let alone wheat."

Jialan was a little worried.

While on the cargo ship, Jialan bought some crop seeds by chance, thinking that after she settled down on the island, she would reclaim farmland and grow it to be self-sufficient.

After hesitating for a moment, he still took out the bag of seeds and handed it to Mai Duo.

"There are potatoes and vegetable seeds here. If you have time to plant them, you can arrange where you plant them yourself. If you have any difficulties, ask Mag, and he will help you deal with them."

"Okay." Mai Duo carefully collected the potato seeds and put them in her arms.

Jialan knew that it would take at least three months to harvest potatoes, and the short-term food shortage problem still existed, but he remembered that there was something in the inventory!

【Natural Fishing Ground*1】

This thing is a system reward after unlocking the achievements of fish lovers. There are too many things to be busy when I first landed on the island, and I almost forgot that there is such a thing.

According to the instructions given by the system, find a sea area to use this item, and the system can automatically generate a fish farm with a range of 100*100 meters according to the natural environment of the sea area.

The fishery does not require artificial breeding, and can generate and continuously reproduce marine life (not limited to fish) suitable for the growth of this sea area.

It should be noted that overfishing in natural fishing grounds is not allowed, and the ecology of the sea area must not be damaged, otherwise the effect of the fishing grounds will fail and it will degenerate into ordinary sea areas.

From Jialan's point of view, the eleven of them couldn't digest the output of a 10000-square-meter fishing ground, and the short-term food problem in Aurora Village was unintentionally solved.

Of course, where to plan the fishery needs to be carefully chosen, and he decided to do it tomorrow.

Just when Jialan was secretly happy, Wali, who had been silent all the time, put forward his own opinions.

"The food in the forest is inexhaustible, and I can make more concoctions to mask the smell, so that everyone is safer when hunting."

"Well, your idea is very good, but hunting is too risky to be used as a source of food. It's not bad to hunt once in a while for a change of taste."

"But..." Wali wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jialan waving his hand, "Don't worry, I have a better source of food, and you will know tomorrow."

A few people left Jialan's residence with deep doubts, and spent the first night in Aurora Village.

……

……

In the early morning light, the birds chirped.

Today is the second day after the establishment of Aurora Village, and it is the fourth day after landing on the island. Jia Lan did not expect to have a satisfactory place to live so soon.

Compared with camping in the wild, the people who moved into the village were busier.

Patrolling...clearing roads...preparing breakfast...building fences...

With the revitalization of barren villages, it seems that everyone has endless things to do.

At eight o'clock, the sun had already surpassed the canopy of the trees, and the only owner of the Lightless Island, the baron lord Garan Amethyst woke up slowly from the simple bed of hay.

Jialan stretched her waist carefully, but felt her back was very stiff and sore, as if being run over by a stone mill.

"I have to ask Myron to make me a wooden bed. The floor to sleep on is cold and hard. I am a lord anyway, so it's fine if I don't have a maid to take care of me. It's too shabby to not even have a bed."

He muttered and got dressed and came downstairs, but he didn't see Wall-E and Mag. It seems that they got up and went to work early.

"Good morning, master! Your breakfast is ready! Do you want to eat it now?" Mai Duo still prepared wheat cakes, fish soup and roast wolf meat.

"Of course!"

Jialan came to the stone stove, rolled the food into his stomach with the residual heat of the stove, wiped his mouth, and asked, "Where are Mag and Wal-E?"

"Captain McGonagall is leading other people to cut down trees by the village, saying that they want to plan a isolation zone to ensure the safety of the village; Wali went to the forest to find herbs, uh... I remember going south."

"He's alone?"

"Yes, alone." Mai Duo nodded and returned.

"This guy is really brave, and he is not afraid of being confronted by a monster. Next time, I have to tell him not to act casually."

Wall-E's confidence in going in and out of the jungle is the mixed grass juice that conceals the smell, but that thing can't fool the more intelligent monsters, and if they are unlucky, they will die in the mouth of the beasts in minutes.

After breakfast, Jialan took small steps to find Mag and the others following the sound of tree cutting.

As there were only two axes, Meg and Myron were chopping the trunk, while others trimmed the branches with long swords and knives, and finally made a thick and long sharp stake.

There are four or five such wooden stakes on the ground, indicating that they have been working here for a while.

"Master Jialan!"

Seeing Jialan approaching, Mag and the others stopped what they were doing and saluted.

"Master Jialan, I'm going to clear up the trees that have invaded the village, and then use wooden piles to build a fence to surround the village. By the way, I will clear out an open space for growing potatoes."

"Good idea, what about the well?"

"The mouth of the well is small, and there are too many people to use it, so I asked Mai Ze and Mai Fu to deal with the gravel at the bottom of the well. I hope they won't be lazy."

McGonagall shrugged.

Jialan nodded and approved of Mag's arrangement. As the captain, Mag is undoubtedly qualified and can be trained to be an important role in managing the territory in the future.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound in the woodland. Just as everyone picked up their weapons and focused their attention on guard, Wali, who was covered in weeds and branches, came out of the woods.

The discovery was a false alarm, McGonagall joked.

"It's Wal-E! Why did you come back so soon? It seems that you have gained something."

"It is true that I have gained a little bit, but Master Jialan must have more important things here."

As Wally responded, he tore off the jungle camouflage strapped to his body and returned to his normal appearance.
