Charlie Mulov, he was a farmer, or rather, he was a farmer 'now'.

Before the maid master gave the pioneer order, he was still a poor man, without his own property, even if he wanted to climb up, there were more people better than him, because he couldn't eat all the year round, he used to look very thin, and even some businessmen who were in urgent need of people would not let him be a porter.

He could only do odd jobs to make ends meet, he used to have a home, but because of the damn 'gambling', he lost everything, the house he inherited from his parents was gone, and now he is almost forty years old, and he still hasn't found a woman willing to be his wife.

He used to be a pauper, but now he has become a farmer, all thanks to the 'pioneer order' of the maid master, if it were not for the kindness of the maid master, he would still be a pauper, and the farmers who pioneered with him on the outskirts of the Black Forest are still some paupers.

It is also because of the maid that he has a 'surname', if there is no maid grown, he is still a poor man who eats and waits for death, without any property, let alone any future.

Charlie scratched at his greasy hair, he hid in the shade of a tree, the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, and his red skin complained of the heat.

Although it's hard now, it's countless times better than those days in the past!

Charlie is now thinking about when time will pass quickly, and when ten years later, the farmland he has cultivated will be his own.

Although now he also understands what is the 'right to use' and what is 'ownership', and understands that he only has the 'right to use' and no 'ownership' for farmland, he ...... This is his farmland after all!

Not just the farmland, but now he has a house of his own, a real house made of wood.

There is furniture in it, there is a bed, he can have his own property, he can have so much, what difference does it make if the 'ownership' of the land is in his hands?

And the maid is so generous and merciful, like a real goddess, even if he only has the 'right to use', the maid will not snatch this farmland from him, because the maid master does what she says, and says that in ten years this place will be theirs, then it must be theirs.

If there were no maid masters, even if they had farmland, they would not have the money to buy farm tools and seeds, and now everything they have is provided to them by the maid masters.

If there were no maid grown-up, they would have nothing!

"Thank you, Maid Master......"

Looking at the specks of light through the leaves, Charlie habitually muttered - like all believers in the gods, he would also mutter, 'Thank you, Master Maid'.

Feeling a wave of sleepiness coming, Charlie narrowed his eyes, shook his head, looked down at his farmland, and couldn't help but show a happy smile.

It's easy to get sleepy in this kind of weather, but Charlie can't sleep now, he's a farmer, and now it's just a little rest, and he still has a lot of farm work to do.

The climate on the outskirts of the Black Forest is not suitable for growing wheat, and there is a lot of moisture here, so Charlie and his family grow a crop called 'rice'.

This crop was designated by the maid chief, and they thought that the maid master would never deceive them, so they followed a group of scholars to learn how to grow rice for half a year from the time the 'Pioneer Order' was issued, and then withdrew to Watch Town in the winter.

In other words, last year, they didn't actually have any harvest, but their food and lodging problems were solved, which is why they trusted the maid so much.

Obviously, they didn't do anything, but they didn't have to worry about food and lodging, and the maid master didn't support idlers, so the maid must have her intention to let them do this, but they couldn't understand it.

In addition to learning about growing rice, they also dug canals here, because rice is more important to farmers than wheat.

It's hard life, but it's also fulfilling, and they don't have to worry about eating one meal and not having the next, such a day is what they dream of, or rather, it's a life they never dreamed of!

Although he didn't understand what scholars meant by the 'four elements on the periphery of the Black Forest', Charlie knew that not only was the water vapor thick, but the temperature was also a little high.

Last summer and autumn, not only was the temperature very high, but the air was also very humid, as long as you exercised, sweat would keep coming out, but fortunately they were able to replenish water in time, otherwise it would be easy to be dried by the sun.

Thinking like this, Charlie suddenly felt a little thirsty in his throat, picked up the water bag tied to his waist, picked up and took a sip of 'warm water'.

Originally, the water was supposed to be hot, but the scholars taught them not to drink raw water directly, which is also what the maid master said, if you want to drink water, it is better to boil the water with a fire and then drink it.

Although Charlie thinks this is hypocritical, who let this be said by the maid master? The maid must be right, the maid master will not deceive them.

And after drinking the 'hot water', Charlie and the others found that they had fewer stomach aches, and they now had to take a shower every few days, so they got sick less often.

There is no doubt that they think that the maid is caring for them, and that the benevolent and generous maid is caring for all the commoners under his rule.

Licking his mouth, Charlie put the hose back and looked back at the farmland.

Soso......

Charlie's ears moved, his body trembled, and he put his hand on the handle of the hoe beside him.

He seemed to hear something...... From the Black Forest?

He could hear the sound from here, and the movement was definitely not small, although he didn't know what it was, or who it was, but when he opened up the wasteland last year, he encountered a monster.

But before the monster could injure him, the soldiers patrolling around him rushed over, so now Charlie was not afraid.

Compared to last year, Charlie is now much stronger, his hand grasping the hoe, slowly standing up, his eyes looking in the direction of the Black Forest.

But something was wrong with him, his head was groggy now, and the arm holding the hoe didn't seem to have much strength.

Blinking vigorously and shaking his head vigorously, Charlie pulled himself together and stared in the direction where the sound was made.

Then, he saw a man emerge from the Black Forest, wearing familiar armor, much to Charlie's relief.

'It's a patrolling soldier......

After the soldier walked out of the jungle, the other soldiers followed.

Seeing these kind-faced soldiers, Charlie couldn't help but smile and waved to them, "Hey!

The soldiers paused in their footsteps, heard Charlie's greeting, and waved their hands to show that they had heard.

This time, Charlie completely relaxed.

On the edge of the Black Forest, he had seen many strange things, and he was not sure if these soldiers were real before, but now he could be sure.

When the body is relaxed, the tense spirit is also relaxed.

Somehow, a wave of sleepiness hit, and Charlie could no longer open his eyelids, and his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers were startled and drew their weapons one after another to guard the surroundings.

It wasn't until a few minutes later, when nothing was happening around them, that they walked slowly and suspiciously, and they remained vigilant along the way.

They walked up to Charlie and saw him lying on the ground, and a soldier broke a branch and turned Charlie's body over, and found that his chest was still heaving, and his breathing was very steady, and he looked as if he was asleep.

They looked at Charlie as blushing as they looked at each other......

[On the outskirts of the Black Forest, several farmers in the pioneer area have been 'drunk' and have ordered an investigation!]
