Chapter 31 Plowing the Land
Gweil possesses the power of bad luck.
A strange force surrounds her. This power is illusory, but it can quietly affect the environment around her.
After she awakened, the Nova family suffered a lot of bad luck that should not have happened.
Basically, all bad things happened to them, and they almost broke up.
Until Gweil left, the situation of the Nova family gradually improved.
In Roman's opinion, Gweil not only possesses the power of bad luck, but also the power of luck, otherwise others would have died in the mountains long ago.
Whether it is disease or food, it is a major obstacle to survival.
This girl was super lucky that she was not taken away by wild animals in nearly two years.
After learning about Gweil's ability, Aaron and Green were a little surprised, but they didn't have any special opinions.
This power that controls luck and bad luck is very mysterious, but mystery is not linked to strength.
No matter how mysterious you are, I can kill you with one knife.
The most common way to deal with witches is to sprinkle salt on them.
Gweil is different, because she can't control her power - she can't even tell which bad luck is caused by her.
Roman understands that Gweil's parents expelled her.
Not to mention the peasant family in the Middle Ages, even a modern family can't stand it.
Poor people are extremely sensitive to bad luck. Once they encounter any setbacks in life, they will complain about everything, and this is normal.
Hemp ropes break at the thinnest part, and bad luck only finds the unfortunate.
Poor families have very weak risk resistance and cannot withstand any wind and rain.
Sometimes a bad luck will make the unlucky family even worse and enter a vicious cycle.
As a superhuman, Roman has a strong resistance to bad luck.
Even bad luck must follow the basic laws of physics.
Gweil's influence is also limited. It is not always in the state of activation. At most, it is the extent of breaking a leg or house collapse, and it must meet the right conditions.
Although there is no clear pattern, Roman always feels that this may be related to her own state.
For example, the wolves came in a strange way.
At that time, he and Shasta were on the verge of a fight, but they were interrupted.
Roman thought it was because of Gweil, but there was no evidence.
Of course, Roman did not shy away from Gweil. If his Origin Farm could go bankrupt because of Gweil, he would just kill himself.
...
Roman came to the blacksmith shop.
Now there were eight or nine people forging iron ingots in full swing.
It was not that Mor was stingy with manpower, but mainly because the scale of the blacksmith shop could only accommodate these people, and it was still crowded.
This made Roman feel that Lux's blacksmith shop was an eyesore.
Their efficiency was very low, but they worked very hard.
According to Roman's order, these helpers could get two kilograms of wheat as a reward every day.
So far, they have forged four heavy plows.
As their proficiency deepened, their efficiency also improved.
Roman watched for a moment, and the clanging sound of iron hammering came into his ears. He was a little excited. He wanted to tear off his clothes and join in, and then [Forging Experience +1] fiercely.
But he had other things to do at the moment.
Roman called Lux and said to him: "These are not enough. We must forge more heavy plows as soon as possible."
Lux looked haggard. Hearing this, he remembered the silver coins promised by Roman, so he nodded and prepared to keep the fire burning all night.
Roman patted his shoulder and called the manager in charge of heavy plow production here.
"All blacksmiths should add an extra pound of wild boar meat to their lunch and dinner every day. If pork is not enough, other meat can be used instead."
The wild boar was killed by Shasta. The hunters found the wild boar's body last night and made preliminary processing-but it belonged to the lord, so they did not dare to embezzle it, so they sent it down the mountain this morning.
After giving these instructions, Roman took away all the heavy plows that had been cast and led away six oxen.
Roman rode a tall horse in the front, looking around constantly, looking for a good place. Aaron and Green drove the oxen and pulled the ox cart. And Gweiler sat on the ox cart, staying with Chongli, and followed Roman to search aimlessly in the surrounding farmland.
Green whispered to Aaron: "Do you want to make a bet with me?"
Aaron nodded and said: "I bet we will have to plow the land later."
Green was speechless: "You are boring."
Aaron said: "Don't bet?"
Green rolled his eyes.
After a while, not far from Sige Town, Roman found a suitable target.
The vast farmland is endless.
Sige Town is located in the southeast corner of the basin. The Silver Dragon Canyon and the dock on the Bro River are also in this direction. To the west are rolling mountains, slightly to the east is the Origin Manor, and to the north are large fields, and further north are large areas of wilderness.
Because it has not been cultivated yet, it is full of primitive environments such as swamps, dense forests, and streams.
Roman got off his horse. Compared with other weed-covered land he had seen, this field looked a little more presentable. There were not many weeds, tree roots, and stones, and the green grass on the ground was sparser than in other places.
Maybe it has been cultivated more times and left fallow more times over the years, so the land here is quite flat and can be seen at a glance.
Roman used his fingers to peel away the surface soil, grabbed the deep soil, crushed it in his hands, and looked at the soil that was a little yellow and a little black.
He nodded. This field was indeed very fertile.
Roman put the yoke around the necks of the two oxen and tied the rope to the heavy plow.
The heavy plow is a large plow. The disadvantage is that it takes at least two oxen to pull it.
everything's ready.
Plow!
After Roman adjusted the direction, he used the heavy plow to penetrate into the deepest part of the soil.
The two experienced plowing oxen instinctively moved their limbs and began to drag the plow. The wooden wheels turned and they moved forward.
As Roman expected, the plowshares of the heavy plow are vertically sharp and can easily split the wet and heavy land, turn out the sticky and hardened soil, and cut off the grass roots. It can lift even in the face of frozen soil. to effect.
This effect satisfied Roman.
He walked forward for a hundred or ten meters holding the heavy plow, and then asked the cattle to stop.
Roman threw the oxen and plows here, turned back alone, and said to Aaron and Green: "You two, plow one thousand meters eastward along here, and then plow one thousand three hundred meters straight north. "
Although Green predicted it, when it happened, he still pointed at himself blankly: "Huh? Me?"
Just do the farm work by yourself, no one dares to stop you.
But I am a majestic warrior knight, and you ask me to do this. Is this appropriate?
Can I afford to shame this person?
What would the other knights think of me if they knew about this?
Aaron also expected that Roman would bring three heavy plows and six oxen.
He thought each man was assigned a heavy plow.
Roman really thought so at first, but belatedly realized that the two of them had no experience in farming, so he let them cooperate for the time being.
