Burton looked longingly at the verdant fields, the wheat that was growing in abundance seemed to have a fragrance, and he sniffed lightly, inhaling the fragrance that only existed in his imagination.

In contrast to the chaotic layout of other places, outside the city, the sacred city of the goddess of agriculture, 'Egg', the farmland is lined up in an orderly manner, and if you are lucky enough to be able to look down from the sky, you will be able to see a pleasing view.

Although he was reluctant to believe that these new farming tools and 'fertilizers' had spread from somewhere else, they were.

He was a city guard, but he had never seen anything like it—

Now that the wheat has begun to tassel and the road to other towns is slow, it should have been one of the busiest times for farmers in previous years, but because of the ease of the previous period, the farmers had a big smile on their faces at such times.

The still turquoise ears of wheat are already showing a heavy appearance at this season, and it seems that if they can be protected well, then this year Iger will usher in a practical 'harvest'.

Although Burton was only a city guard, he was familiar with it and grew up in Egger, and even a civilian could be a master of farming.

Egger is located in the northern part of the Principality of Eagles, and the Orff Mountains, the birthplace of the Orff Water System, are in the south of the Principality of Eagles.

Egger is located on the plain known as 'Karstan', and further south is the 'Eagle Plateau', the traditional territory of the Principality of the Eagle.

The northern end of the narrow state is bordered by the kingdoms of Kolo and Kurt, and Iger is located here, at the junction of the borders of the three countries.

However, since this is still the territory of the Principality of the Eagle, the people of the Principality of the Eagle are proud to call Egger 'our Egger'.

Further south of the Eagle Principality is the Merchant Federation of Mor, but unfortunately, the border between the two countries is not bordered, because there is still some distance between the two countries and the highland terrain, so it is an 'extralegal land', and people who cannot survive in both countries will flee to that area, but compared to there, the area ruled by the Free City-State Alliance, which is still close to the mountains of Garol, is more chaotic.

Because it is located at the junction of the three kingdoms, and because Egger is the holy city of the goddess of agriculture, between the three kingdoms, if there are not enough interests, the three parties will not start a war here without authorization.

Egger has the largest 'seed market' in the world, and if they are not familiar with farming, the merchants who come to buy seeds often consult the local farmers, who have long since understood how to distinguish which seeds are best for which places under the rule of the agricultural church.

Every two years, a new seed of improved grain emerges, so the farmland outside Iger is not only used to grow food, but some areas are also divided and used as 'test fields'.

People don't go to those 'test fields' to steal food, and even if they are poor, the people who live in Egger know that before the results of the test in those 'test fields' are met, they are very likely to die if they eat them, and sometimes they are worse than dead.

Over the years, countless clergy and druids have tried to improve grain seeds, but not every time they have succeeded, many times they have failed, and now the wheat planted in the fields outside the city has been a new variety after many selections and improvements, but such seeds are still not circulating on the mainland.

Even though these wheat seeds have appeared on the market, every time a merchant comes to Egger, they will not choose to buy these 'latest generation' improved seeds, but will choose those grain seeds that are not known how many generations behind.

Burton didn't quite understand this, as an Egger, he had been influenced by the people around him since he was a child, and thought that it was not surprising for the clergy to appear in the fields, even for food cultivation.

If it were him, he would have chosen the latest generation of wheat seeds, not the seeds that seemed to be more stable, but did not produce enough wheat.

Obviously, there are still many hungry civilians on the mainland, why don't they choose those grains that produce more?

Because Egger is an 'agricultural holy city', the people living in Egger do not have to worry about starvation, and Egger and its surrounding towns and villages not only produce enough food to meet their own needs, but also have a lot of surplus every year that can be exported.

The ability to have a 'good harvest' every year has raised the bar for 'good harvest' for the people of Egger.

In previous years, it was just a 'bumper harvest' for the outside world, but this year, it is a 'real bumper harvest'!

Although there are only some signs now, Burton still can't help but think, what if these wheat lodging down?

Even though he knew that the straw was tough enough, he couldn't help but worry, because the ears of wheat seemed to give people a feeling of 'heaviness', and even from his position, he could feel the 'heaviness' of the ears of wheat.

Looking at the green wheat in those fields, Burton smirked, this may be the trouble of happiness!

Seeing the dust in the distance, Burton knew that another caravan had arrived, and he turned and called the captain to the city gates, they usually do not check on merchants and civilians passing by, but if it is a caravan, sorry, it needs to be checked wherever it is.

The caravan was also very knowledgeable, and by the time it was about to reach the city gates, it had slowed down.

The captain of the city guard led the team up and talked to the steward of the caravan, while the other city guards walked towards the convoy, and according to custom, Burton was 'on duty' today, so his job was relatively easy.

Burton's hand pressed lightly on the hilt of his sword, walked over to the few people in the caravan who looked like merchants, and asked with a smile, "Uncle, are you from the Kolo Kingdom, right?

Those merchants also knew the 'customs' of the guards of Egger City, and Burton's round face also looked quite friendly, so they also replied with a smile: "To tell you the truth, we are indeed from the Kingdom of Kolo, we are here this time to buy food, and you also know that there was a war in our kingdom before, but His Majesty Krylov III led us to victory!" Now we are just buying food, in addition to that, we also have to buy some seeds, the weather is hot this year, if we are faster, we can plant in time, and we will have time to harvest before winter. ”

"Oh, that's it......"

Burton suddenly realized, and nodded to indicate that he had understood.

It was only now that he knew that the civil war in the Kingdom of Kolo had ended, and it was no wonder that those refugees seemed to be moving again.

Then, he looked at the convoy and said with a smile: "How much paper should there be in this car? It's enough for us to use for half a year, right?"

A few of the merchants standing beside Burton laughed twice and didn't say anything, but Burton also knew that basically the goods were like this.

There is a lot of farmland around Egger, and papermaking will cause pollution, and there are basically not many places suitable for papermaking, so Egger's paper can only be imported.

Since basic education is not as developed as that of the Sadgard, even the 'school' is only a church, and the price of tuition is relatively high, and commoners like Burton basically have no opportunity to let their siblings or children go to school.

Therefore, Egger's paper is not as serious as that of Wende City, and only needs to be imported to meet the demand.

Burton, however, did not feel any 'jealousy' or anything like that, on the contrary, at least the goddess of agriculture gave them the opportunity for the commoners to learn.

And this is only a thing that has only happened in the last year, and the previous days have not passed like that?

The days to come will be even better!

What Burton didn't notice, however, was that it was now approaching the end of spring and the temperature was gradually rising, but ...... In the area around Eiger, it has not rained for nearly 20 days.
