Chapter 0283 - Bold
The shelter farm on the outskirts of Whigburg, home to tens of thousands of farmers, is the result of decades of hard work by Archbishop Dimitri. Under the glossy veneer, it was run as his private kingdom.
The Archbishop was a Whigburg magnate and one of the top rulers. He was able to get to this point by selecting well-qualified young people from among the vast number of poor people, cultivating them, and harvesting their souls to offer to succubius when necessary.
Compared to the total, only a few were harvested, and they did not cause much trouble for decades. The bitter poor man was attached to Dimitri, loyal to him and grateful to Dade. Only these descendants can he rest assured when he uses them.
The farm covers a large area, and there are a large number of simple and low wooden houses built inside. With the archbishop under his rule, these houses have a simple unified plan. There is some gravel in front of the house and behind the house, but it is not a muddy road.
Although Dimitri has been in business for decades, these farm houses are not a good place to live, and the poor people who live on the farms are still a little miserable. But for them, it's a great blessing to live here.
Because of this, the poor on the farm are mostly very loyal. Although they are of humble ability, they can help Dimitri accomplish many things that are inconvenient for him to be present in person. Because they never think about why, they are absolutely blind to the archbishop.
If outsiders try to spy on the farm, no matter how much they try to hide it, it is useless. Naturally, there are some methods taught by succubi, but more importantly, the farmers here are very vigilant and even xenophobic.
As a servant of the succubus, Dimitri is not without enemies, and there are many unsightly things. These secrets are all kept on the farm.
For example, the matter of raising insects is too shocking, and in a world like the manifestation of ghosts and gods in the other world, it is easy to be smeared as an evil act by people with intentions. No matter how high Dimitri's prestige was, he didn't dare to do it publicly, so he naturally placed it on this suburban farm.
Raising bugs is not an easy task. Just feeding the bugs is a difficult hurdle to overcome. Zhou Qingfeng has a Professor Zheng to rely on in the real world, and he has come up with a way to get started with the local law.
In the real world, there is a large amount of cheap but nutritious kitchen waste as feed, and the breeding of economic insects has been industrialized and large-scale. Whether it is raising maggots, earthworms, or cockroaches, it is completely feasible.
But in the other world, where food is extremely scarce, what is 'food waste'? The hungry and crazy poor ghost will have to eat dirt, and there will be absolutely no kitchen waste.
There is not even food waste, so what is used as feed?
Professor Zheng is engaged in urban planning and garbage disposal, and also understands some agricultural techniques of ecological breeding and recycling. No matter how it is designed under extremely difficult conditions, it is impossible to avoid the starting point of opening the ecological chain - feces.
Under the system of gods, all intelligent beings in the other world regard feces as filthy things and avoid them. After tens of thousands of years of civilization, no one has thought about how to use it effectively.
With a population of more than 100,000 people, Whigburg produces a lot of manure every day that needs to be disposed of. There are dedicated dalits engaged in this discriminatory work. They wore special badges and could only go out to work in the morning and evening, so as not to be seen by the nobles and commoners.
Archbishop Dimitri secretly co-opted the group and transported the city's almost endless manure to his own shelter farm. These filthy substances will be accumulated, matured, and used as a base for feeding insects.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't know what kind of bugs to raise, but Dimitri already had the answer - earthworms were the best.
Maggots will feather, cockroaches will crawl and fly, and earthworms will stay in the medium honestly without much human intervention. The medium of earthworms is still a good organic fertilizer, which has a huge effect on increasing the yield of farmland.
Earthworms are scavengers, and organic matter such as straw, leaves, vegetable leaves, rotten fruits, and manure can be added to the culture medium during the breeding process. It can be said that as long as it is non-toxic and harmless, it can eat anything, and it is especially easy to serve.
Some of the spells bestowed by the god of morning light can greatly promote the growth of plants and animals. In order to satisfy the succubus' demands, Dimitri would come to the secret farm on the farm every day and cast a spell on the insects - 'All Things Love'.
Usually this technique was used on noble children, or as a reward for the active commoners. Humans who accept this spell will develop better, grow taller, taller, and smarter.
No one had ever used this spell on insects - if Losanda had known about this, he would have rushed out of the 'Temple of Nature' in the kingdom of God in a fit of rage and knocked Dimitri deep into the depths of the earth.
This magic is not very advanced, it can only work on one human at a time, and it will take years to see the results. But probably the bugs are too low-level, and every time Dimitri casts a spell, all the bugs in the whole house are affected.
Worms that receive divine magic will eat desperately and grow desperately. A few days is like a few months of growth. The number of bugs can explode in a matter of days. This caused Dimitri to quickly abandon maggots and cockroaches and focus on raising earthworms.
As a result, the farmers in the secret farms are overwhelmed. Every day, they transport manure, clean the culture medium, and harvest earthworms for follow-up processing.
Although no one knows what the archbishop is going to do? But the farmers still feel that raising earthworms seems to have a lot to do in their busy schedules β after all, the poor are not picky.
A city with a population of more than 100,000 people produces a huge amount of manure every day. These filthy things, which no one cared about and no one cared about, have become treasures.
After effective use, Dimitri's shelter farm has a large amount of organic fertilizer, and the warehouse is full of dried earthworms. Some people even tasted it secretly when they were hungry - it certainly didn't taste good, but it filled their stomachs.
This is a great blessing!
His Excellency the Archbishop entered the culture room with a stench, frowned at the earthworms writhing and tumbling in the fecal medium, and quickly turned to leave. He is not like Zhou Qingfeng who can endure this, and his heart is extremely repulsive.
"How many dried earthworms are there in the warehouse now?" Dimitri called the director of the secret farm and asked a few questions.
"Your Honorable Archbishop, with your divine blessings, these earthworms grow very fast. We've tried our best to reap them, but they're getting more and more. Thousands of pounds are already piled up in the warehouse, and they will double in the next few days. β
The supervisor of the farm bent down and gave a detailed report. Dimitri soon realized that he was doing a good job of raising earthworms from a work point of view β much better than in the Northland, where he couldn't even see the sun.
Dimitri hurriedly reported the current situation to the succubus of the abyss, and Medis demanded that he immediately ship the production stock.
When all the dried earthworms in the wooden box were gone, His Excellency the Archbishop finally ......couldn't help but ask, "Dear Master MedΓ¨s, may I take the liberty of asking, what do you need these earthworms for?" β
The question had been hidden in Dimitri's mind for some time, and he was not happy not to ask it. The succubus had just received the payment from Zhou Qingfeng with soul crystals, and he was in a good mood and replied halfway, "Someone is crazy and wants to use this garbage as food." β
What the?! Someone was going to eat these fecal-fed disgusting bugs. What kind of evil is this? Unheard of!
Dimitri felt that he didn't even want to touch the dried earthworms, he had always thought that they were the material of some evil ritual, or the necessity of some kind of large-scale witchcraft, and he really did not expect anyone to use it for food.
It's horrible, what's the difference between that and eating directly?
When the Venerable Archbishop whispered such an assessment, the succubus, who had always been high, agreed: "Yes, I think so too. However, ......, if you run into the guy who bought dried earthworms in the future, you'd better be careful. β
For the first time, Meadis revealed her trading partner across the abyss, Dimitri pricked up her ears and asked carefully: "This ...... who bought dried earthworms is very powerful?" β
The succubus scolded hatefully: "On the contrary, in my eyes, that kid is very weak. But he even dared to investigate the secrets between gods and demons, and he was too bold. β
