The Santan Academy of Magic and Wizardry did not recruit a thousand civilian students as planned by Donner, and by the time it officially opened on the 3rd of the 10th, only about 400 school-age children had arrived. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, the pharmacy academy in Mist Town was probably more meticulous in recruiting students, and it managed to recruit more than forty civilian teenagers - more than the original plan of thirty.

In early October, both colleges were officially put into operation, and the school town in Pamplo Province was also in full swing with the exchange of letters between Donner and William.

The relocation of Fog City, thanks to Grandet's efforts, took only two months to complete - or rather, the part that Downer was most concerned about - and by mid-October, Fog City was empty. As for when Falling Rock will be up and running, Donner isn't in a hurry.

Also in mid-October, the autumn harvest in the three provinces of the fiefdom officially began, but Donner had already handed over the matter to Wesley, who had recruited the minor nobles who were trying their best to make a good impression on the Duke.

On October 19, Mr. Merkel finally appeared in the Misty Town.

After six years, Mr. Merkel was both happy and a little puzzled to see that Donner was safe and sound, and when Donner told all the causes and consequences, he was as shocked as Professor Victor was when he heard this.

However, he was still happy to learn that Kelly had indeed been picked up by Donner's - Kelly's parents and brother knew that she had been picked up, but they didn't know where she had gone.

With all this accounted for, Downer formally invited Merkel to serve as governor of the three provinces—a term he coined to take charge of and supervise all the day-to-day affairs of the fiefdom, from taxation to justice.

After a brief listening to Donner's plan and knowing that he was suffering from a lack of helpers, Merkel gladly accepted the job, and then Wesley assigned all the minor nobles under his command to Merkel, who was canonized a viscount by King Auston after the end of the Great Patriotic War, and has now served as the head of the Knight Academy of Triss for many years, and has enough prestige.

At this point, Downer finally took the three northern provinces firmly in his own hands, and everything was on the right track.

......

On November 6, exactly three months after the invitation, Donner met Cynthia in Misttown, where she was accompanied by the dwarven kings Grunada, Natia, and Idarua - Natia told Donner that it would be about another month or two before Richard and Kelly arrived.

At this time, there were no other idlers in Misty Town, except for an almost completely closed pharmacy academy, but for the sake of caution, Donner still invited a few of them to Fog City, which had been completely evacuated.

"Looks like you're going to make a big deal?" Cynthia asked with a smile as she looked at the empty streets of Fog City.

"That's right, we've got to make a big deal......" Donner changed the subject.

Cynthia understood the meaning of his words and nodded, "We'll wait for this day." ”

At the moment, Adarua volunteered to stay and guard the entrance to Fog City, while the others sat down in the largest stone room on the first floor of the street in Fog City.

Natia was still dressed when Donner saw her three months ago.

Cynthia wore a dark gray cotton dress, her long black hair was braided into a dozen thin braids hanging down her head, and if she was taller and her skin was not so white, she looked a bit like a jazz singer in a high-end bar.

The dwarf king Grunada has a long beard on his face, except that his body is stronger and his body exudes a bit terrifying, and his clothing image is no different from Grunada.

At this time, all three of them were sitting on stone benches suitable for the height of ordinary humans, their feet hanging in the air, looking somewhat strange.

But the expressions on their faces were unusually serious.

"Natya, have you told you about the situation?" asked Donner.

"That's right...... You say about twenty years. Cynthia nodded.

"The war won't reach the Far North, but it will reduce food ......production," Donner said in a deep voice.

Cynthia stretched out her hand, signaling that Donner didn't have to explain this, and then glanced at the dwarf king Grunada, and after receiving the latter's nod of acquiescence, she said slowly: "Donner, to tell you the truth, our crisis is even more serious than this war, and the country of the Far North can mine magic crystals for up to fifty years...... Further north we can't do anything else......"

Donner frowned, he didn't expect Cynthia to be so direct, but it was fine, at least it proved their sincerity.

"Hmm......," he nodded, "I'll do everything I can to find a way out for you...... But I need your help too. ”

"Tell me about your plans...... We'll do what we can......" Perhaps because of the power of the oracle, or perhaps because of the looming crisis, Cynthia's attitude was very straightforward.

"My plan is...... Let you return to Middle-earth. When Donner said this, all three listeners were slightly shocked.

"Donner...... We have a population of more than 30 million people...... Most of them are dwarfs who have no combat power......" Cynthia prompted.

"There are 400,000 people in my fiefdom, the Faimon Empire has nearly six million people, and the entire Huls Continent is eleven million......" Donner had already done his homework, "There are at least 60 million people in the Kaios Continent. ”

"I understand what you mean, but where there is the Holy See of Light, we are all undesirable races, and if a large number of immigrants come, I am afraid that if we don't use the Magic Continent to make a move, Middle-earth will become chaotic......" Cynthia shook her head.

The Dwarven King and Natia also frowned and remained silent.

Instead of answering Cynthia's question directly, Donner began to recount what he had seen in recent months: "You know what? With proper irrigation, and a few tools and animal power, I can increase the arable land area of my land by two-thirds, and double the total grain yield." ”

"Are you sure?" Cynthia clearly realized the importance of the question.

"I'm sure...... With enough tools and more rational methods, Middle-earth's grain production could be increased by at least a third. Donner nodded, confident in the extremely extensive irrigation practices and field management practices of the Kaos and Hulls continents - in fact, if any herbicide or fertilizer could be developed, the number would increase exponentially.

"So you mean, let's try it on your land first?" asked Cynthia.

"No, I mean, I'll do it on my land for you first, and of course, the proper tools will need to be provided ......by you," Donner replied.

"But even if there is enough food, it will not solve the contradictions between the races...... Nadia worries.

"That's right...... "Grunada, the dwarven king, spoke for the first time, "that's the most important thing. ”
