Chapter 456 Full Moon

"What do you think this Lord of Tiramei wants to do?"

After leaving the palace, representatives of various chambers of commerce found a secret room to gather in a tacit understanding.

Frank leaned back in his chair and asked first.

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

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

"Is it because you think you earn too much and deliberately earn less? Or is it to make sure those common people have enough to eat?"

"This..." The Chamber of Commerce representative hesitated, unable to think of any words to refute.

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

"Now that you are gathered here, it is probably not for the purpose of quarreling. You should get to the point as soon as possible and discuss a suitable countermeasure!"

"What Mr. Dougla said makes sense."

"Yes, let's discuss what to do."

"..."

Under the leadership of Dougla, the conversation among the businessmen in the secret room began to turn to discussing countermeasures.

"In my opinion, as long as we firmly disagree with those terms, Ti Laimei will naturally relent after some time." A short, fat, middle-aged businessman with a goatee first suggested with a glint in his eyes.

"Yes, without our help, Ti Laimei Plain would not be able to sell so much food!" Several representatives of the chamber of commerce nearby agreed.

"I heard that south of Neustadt, new farmland was opened near the Kege Kingdom last year, and the wheat planted will probably be mature. Even if Tielaimei doesn't let go, we won't be able to do anything!" A businessman echoed and suddenly said.

"Yes, that is the farmland opened by Congressman Jonson. Our Chamber of Commerce has sent people there. Ti Laimei is not the only choice!"

"That's right, even if Ti Laimei doesn't let go, we still won't be able to buy food!"

Some businessmen echoed that the matter of Congressman Jonson opening up new farmland was not a secret, and many of them knew about it.

But even so, some representatives of the Chamber of Commerce still didn't know about this. At this moment, surprise suddenly appeared on their faces, and a look of thinking flashed in their eyes.

The businessmen continued to discuss according to the suggestion of the pudgy businessman.

He simply formulated some principles for negotiating with Altbould every day, and planned to find some ways to contact Colin directly to see if there was room for change.

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

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

"Of course!"

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

All the businessmen agreed.

Although such delay does not seem to be a practical and effective countermeasure, this is all they can do.

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

This is a truth that everyone understands.

There is also the farmland opened up by Senator Jonson. Although it is indeed an extra choice, they all know that the food in the Ti Laimei Plain is the largest.

What's more, according to feedback from colleagues in the Chamber of Commerce, that congressman has a huge appetite.

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

The party ended here, and all the businessmen left with firm expressions on their faces - at least that's what it seemed like now.

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

In the huge factory building, Shelley was pointing at the behemoth around him and introducing it to Colin.

The entire body of this steel behemoth is metallic gray and black, with the roller header in front emitting a silvery cold light, and behind the middle section, the magic stone power source is emitting a faint blue light.

Colin walked around it, rubbing the cold outer wall, and nodded with satisfaction.

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

"These five models of harvesters are enough to handle all terrains in the entire Ti Laimei Plain."

Shelley looked at these harvesters and couldn't help but smile on his face when he thought of their terrifying harvesting efficiency.

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

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

Although it has long been known that the emergence of harvesters will bring about huge efficiency improvements, the timing of Shelley's words still made Colin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows:

"This is a huge improvement."

"Yes, in the past, relying on serfs, the entire Ti Laimei Plain had to be busy for at least half a month, and this was the result of all-out harvesting, regardless of the loss of serfs."

Shelley's tone was also somewhat emotional. She stared blankly at the harvester in front of her, then suddenly turned to Colin and said solemnly:

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart on behalf of the Truth Society, Colin."

"The serfs in Tielaime should also thank you. With these harvesters, wheat harvesting will become a thing of the past. From now on, no serfs will die because of this."

As if he felt that the words were not solemn enough, after Shelley finished speaking, he bent down to caress his chest and performed a standard wizard's salute.

Colin was stunned for a moment, and an extremely complicated emotion appeared in his heart for no reason.

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

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

"No need to thank me, Shelley." After coming back to his senses, Colin shook his head slightly and said, "We are mutually beneficial."

“Without the Truth Society’s day-and-night development, these harvester ideas would not have been able to become 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 truth and the help of a large number of wizards who are good at making witchcraft tools, just trying to create a prototype of a harvester in this world without supporting industries would probably require at least It will take a year... It is impossible to make a mature and reliable harvester before the spring harvest.

Shelley pursed his lips. Although the truth was true, in terms of importance, Colin's idea was obviously more important.

Without these genius ideas, no matter how hard they try, they may not be able to bring about such a big change in Ti Laimei.

"Without the Truth Society, there are other wizards who can create 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 did not refute Shelley's words. He just caressed the steel beast in front of him, looked far away, and suddenly said:

"I'm actually not a person with great ambitions. When we were in the Far North, you invited me to join the Truth Society, but you refused at first."

“It’s hard to say that the things we are doing now are entirely for the serfs and the people at the bottom of this world.”

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

At this point, he paused and said something that made Shelley a little confused.

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

“There is a motto in my hometown that impressed me deeply——

If you achieve it, you will benefit the world. "

"It probably means that if you become prosperous, you should also think about helping your brothers... others in the world will prosper together."

Having said this, Colin couldn't help but smile.

This explanation was the most common thing I said in my previous life when I was drinking beer with my friends at the supper stall...

The other one is rich and noble...

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

Inexplicably, Colin suddenly remembered a bright full moon.

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

...It’s a different world after all.

Colin's eyes dimmed slightly, he let out a breath and said to Shelley with a smile:

"Since I have these talents, I naturally don't want them to be buried. So there is no need to thank me too much. These things can bring changes to the world, which is what I want to see."

‘So... it’s not a waste of time to come here in this life. ’ He added silently in his mind.

Although Shelley didn't understand something, she had never been one to ask questions, so she just nodded and didn't say anything more.

"In the past few days, please continue to test the harvester, and make sure nothing goes wrong." Colin continued to give instructions, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"Also, remember to continue to keep the whole process confidential and do not reveal the presence of agricultural machinery before harvesting."

Maybe it was unfounded worries, but this spring harvest was too important to Neustadt and the entire wizarding world, and he did not allow any surprises.

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

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

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

"The mentor is still on the front line, and they are in great need of manpower there, so they probably won't be able to escape."

"This way..." Colin was a little regretful.

However, the war is now in full swing. The entire Siya continent is recruiting wizards to participate in the war. There is a shortage of people everywhere. There is no way to do this.

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

Saying goodbye to Shelley, Colin concealed himself and came to the cave.

As he advanced to the level 3 knight, no matter how hard he restrained his power, the Silver Chamber could no longer bear the burden of his daily practice.

The cave became his new training ground.

The will and spirit have been fused for many days. During this period, Colin could feel a significant improvement in his strength almost every other day.

However, this kind of improvement has its limit 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!

With a gentle wave of his fist, the rock wall in front of him cracked, revealing a huge hole. With a calm expression on his face, Colin first practiced the Knight's Breathing Technique.

…

Two days later.

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

Golden Wheat Wizard Tower.

Colin bowed respectfully to the wizard in front of him.

"You don't need to be so polite about what you should do." Claire smiled, "Mr. Noyce often mentioned you to me, and he was full of praise in his words."

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

Colin nodded. He had planned to go to the Supreme Council this morning to seek support, but as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Supreme Council hall, he met Claire, the high councilor who was preparing to come to Ti Laime to garrison.

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

Moreover, this congressman seemed to have a good relationship with Noyce, and his attitude towards him was particularly peaceful and easy to communicate with... This made him relieved to a certain extent.

After all, he didn't want to meet a support wizard with a bad temper... It would be okay if he was just grumpy, but he was afraid that he would not be able to communicate and listen to opinions. Even if there was no crisis, there would probably be some trouble.

"Has there been any special movement in Ti Laime recently?"

Claire asked as she walked into the wizard tower.

"I organized wizards to patrol the plains every day, and also arranged personnel in various areas to monitor abnormal situations. Until now, 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, so continue to monitor. If there are any abnormalities, tell me as soon as possible."

"This spring harvest is particularly important. The last conspiracy of the gods to pollute farmland was solved by you and 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 was a fourth-level wizard sitting in Ti Laimei, he felt a little more relaxed.

At least now, no matter what crisis we encounter, even if another level 4 enemy comes, we can more or less hold on until support arrives.

The next week was uneventful.

There were no abnormalities anywhere in the Tiramei Plain. During this period, Colin and Claire also checked the caves under the plain, and found no signs of any abnormality.

Everything was so normal and peaceful.

Colin and Claire did not take it lightly. As long as the spring harvest was not truly completed and the food was not safely stored, they would not take it lightly.

However, they did not wait for any changes to occur. On the contrary, it was Altbold's matter regarding the grain trade that was the first to undergo changes——

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