Chapter 63: Surfacing

There was an orchard on the outskirts of the eastern part of Koga, which Claude had told him before.

Because the south is very hot in the summer, if you transport fruit too far from outside, it may spoil in the process, so some perishable fruits are also planted nearby.

It's just that it doesn't taste good!

This was Claude's exact words at the time, so Sean wanted to find the little girl's peach seeds as much as possible, and if not, use his own seeds to cultivate them first, although it would take some time, but it would be enough in a few months.

Or......

Let Igonia also help out with magic?

Sean looked at Igonia beside her, and she honestly followed the side without speaking, her head still staring at the state of [thoughtful!].

"What's wrong? It's so quiet today, it's not like you. "The other party has been clamoring to come out and go around, but now he doesn't say a word.

"Don't talk to me, I'm angry now!" deliberately stepped aside.

It's just outside the city, and Igonia is familiar with it, so if you want to find a fruit grower, you'll have to ask her.

"Oh~ It turns out that our beautiful shrine maidens will also be angry...... Hey, what's the fuss, let's hear it. Sean quipped.

"Hmph, I wouldn't be happy if you were like that. ”

There is no anger on the top of the other person's head, it is just a mouth.

The antics made Sean laugh in his heart.

"Looks like you're really angry?"

"Of course, and the people who me off are still me off!" Igonia turned to look at Sean.

Sean, on the other hand, pretended not to understand.

"Who dares to make you angry. ”

As soon as the other party said this, Igonia really raised her fist and pounded Sean in the chest.

"Why didn't you tell me your identity before, and lied to me that I was a resident of Blukan Avenue, huh......"

Since Baron Sean Telemien's identity was exposed by Arya, he has been living in the earl's house, so Igonia has never had time to ask in person at that time, and she will not dare to say anything when she goes to the earl's house after that.

It wasn't until this time that the two of them were alone together and took out the events of that day......

"You didn't ask me at the time. ”

"Who said that! I asked, and you said you were a resident of the city. ”

"Yes, I remember you didn't ask. Sean said.

"Anyway, I'm asking, you can think about it yourself......" glared at Sean viciously.

The two of them could already hear the sound of running water when they walked here.

It's not a canal, it's a stream that actually flows through the outskirts of the city, and you can see the many wooden houses under the hills in the distance.

"The growers already live there, I've seen a lot of people there. Igonia pointed in the direction of the housing complex.

The people who were able to grow orchards outside Koga were not poor, and it was estimated that the whole family lived in the city, and those who could stay here were either coming to see it, or more often were hired workers.

"Let's go, let's see!"

The two of them walked towards the keeper's house.

It's a big place, with a view from the bottom of the hill to the foot of the mountain in the distance, and there is a stream nearby as a source of water, so it's a nice place.

If you want to make such a large scale in Telemian, I am afraid that it will take a lot of work, and if you use those seeds, I don't know how long it will take to cultivate!

The path into the orchard was separated by a wall of stones, and the only way to get in was to take a detour to the guard's house.

And generally anyone who enters will be discovered.

"Who are you?" the caretaker was an old man in his sixties.

Probably only people of this age can endure loneliness and stay away from the city all year round, and there are almost no people around, all you can see are one or two children who are a little younger.

"I'm Baron Vigel, from somewhere else. It was with the permission of Miss Alia Hammel to come to the orchard in Koga City to inspect and study. I don't know if the word is used well or not, but Sean doesn't intend to use any other identity.

After all, this is a private orchard, not a trade market.

If the other party does not let him in, he will definitely say that he will not be able to do anything, and only those who directly report the identity of the nobleman and then bring the Count of Hammel's family will attract the attention of the other party.

Sure enough, when he heard that it was a nobleman, the old man immediately stood up.

subconsciously wanted to kneel down to greet him, but was finally stopped by Sean.

"Male...... Lord Baron!"

How could an old man who had been in an orchard in the suburbs all year round know what the surname of a nobleman was, but the title could be understood...... As soon as he heard that it was a baron, and even brought out the name of Miss Count, he naturally didn't dare to slack off.

"Don't be afraid, I'm just here to check it out, I want to plant an orchard on the territory as well, so I'm here to see it. ”

"Oh, oh......"

The old man kept nodding, probably not hearing what Sean was saying.

For an ordinary old man who is honest and honest, he may never have the opportunity to talk to the nobles head-on in his life, and he doesn't know what to do when he suddenly appears.

Of course, Sean didn't pay much attention to this, and walked directly into the garden with Igonia......

The orchard is huge, and there are quite a few things grown in it.

In addition to several common fruits, there are actually some vegetables in it.

This family is really good at business.

"How long has this orchard been around?" asked Sean.

"It's been about thirty years, I was an apprentice when I first came here, and I've been an apprentice for a long time. The old man followed the two of them and introduced them.

More than thirty years!

The other party has actually been here to guard the forest for so long.

"Joe Girard's family grows fruit almost all in the foothills around the city of Koga, and the area is very large. ”

"Joe Girard?" Sean asked curiously.

"That's the fruit king of Koga, but he's a well-known and rich merchant. Igonia, who was beside her, added.

The three of them had already entered the garden......

Although the elderly are the caretakers, there are also some workers who are busy tending and watering.

At this time, one of the workers who was squatting with his head in a state of [panic!] caught Sean's attention.

"What's going on over there?"

The three of them walked over.

It was a child who looked to be twelve or thirteen years old, and when he saw someone coming, he was busy blocking the plants under him with his hands.

"What are you doing, didn't you let you water it?" said the old man indignantly.

The little boy's hands could not cover anything at all, and under his feet was a row of small saplings, held up with wooden supports...... It looks a bit like a tomato, but it's a little smaller.

It's just that the leaves have all withered, and the small tree species in a dozen square meters have all shrunk.

"You...... What did you do? Didn't I tell you to take care of them!" the old man shouted angrily at the sight of such a scene.

"I ...... No...... Woowoo woo ......"

The little boy didn't know how to explain it, but he started crying.

"I've taken good care of them and watered them every day. But I don't know why this happened. ”

"Nonsense, you must be lazy and don't do what you are told. ”

As the steward of the guarding forest, the old man would naturally be angry when he saw such a situation.

Sean, however, noticed the bucket that was placed aside.

He took a closer look at the water inside......

"Where did you get all this water?!! he said suddenly.

Because the inside of the bucket slowly reveals the properties of water......

[Wastewater].
