Chapter 17 017. Ancient Well

In the room, the air was exceptionally quiet.

After a short silence, Mag took the lead to break the dullness.

"Sir, after you were unconscious, I took people to check the well in the village, but the bottom of the well was covered with weeds and gravel, and no water could be seen."

"How deep is the bottom of the well?" Jialan frowned. The important point in his decision to take over Aurora Village was that he took a fancy to this well. He didn't expect it to be a dry well.

"Uh... I visually estimated the depth to be five to six meters. The bottom of the well is partially buried by gravel, so the actual depth should be even further down."

"It's normal for the wellhead to be exposed to the air, and there are weeds and dead branches, but where did the gravel come from?" Jialan thought for a moment, and there seemed to be no other possibility except that someone threw it down deliberately. "I suspect that the well was deliberately thrown down.

If it is clogged and destroyed, tomorrow you will take people to clean out the gravel at the bottom of the well and see if water can seep out."

"yes."

Mag nodded in agreement.

Living on an island, the source of fresh water is a top priority, and it is more difficult to obtain than food, so Jia Lan does not hesitate to invest manpower to try to revitalize the water wells.

After arranging the water well matter, Jialan asked about the food again, but Mai Duo was in charge of the food. Mag ran to call Mai Duo again.

"Servant Mai Duo has met the Lord."

"Get up, how much food stock do we have left?"

"Back to my lord, I originally expected that the food would be enough for a week, but then Wall-E pharmacist joined in, and there are still heavy tasks such as attacking slimes and relocating camps in the past two days. In order to replenish the personnel's physical strength, the food consumption has increased accordingly. Save it.

If you eat, you can still last for three days."

"Three days... is too short. It takes at least three months to grow potatoes, let alone wheat."

Jialan felt a little worried.

While on the cargo ship, Jialan bought some crop seeds and planned to open up farmland for planting and become self-sufficient after stabilizing the island.

After hesitating for a moment, he took out the bag of seeds and handed it to Mai Duo.

"There are potatoes and vegetables planted here. If you have time, you can plant them. You can decide where to plant them. If you have any problems, ask Mag and he will help you."

"Okay." Mai Duo carefully collected the potato seeds and put them in his arms.

Jialan knew that it would take at least three months to harvest potatoes, and the short-term food shortage problem still existed, but he remembered that there was something in his inventory!

[Natural fishing ground*1]

This thing is a system reward after unlocking the Fish Lover achievement. When I first arrived on the island, I had so many things to do, I almost forgot that there was such a thing.

According to the instructions given by the system, find a sea area to use this item. The system can automatically generate a 100*100 meter fish farm based on the natural environment of the sea area.

This fishery does not require artificial breeding and can generate and continuously reproduce marine life (not limited to fish) suitable for the growth of the sea area.

It should be noted that natural fishing grounds cannot be overfished and the ecology of the sea cannot be damaged, otherwise the effects of the fishing grounds will be ineffective and degraded into ordinary sea areas.

In Jialan's opinion, the output of a 10,000-square-meter fishery cannot be digested by the eleven of them. The short-term food problem of Aurora Village was inadvertently solved.

Of course, where to plan the fishing ground needs to be carefully chosen, and he decided to do it tomorrow.

Just when Jialan was secretly happy, Wali, who had been silent all this time, expressed his opinion.

"There is inexhaustible food in the forest. I can brew more odor-masking concoctions to make everyone safer when hunting."

"Well, your idea is very good, but hunting is too risky and cannot be used as a source of food. It's good to hunt once in a while for a change."

"But..." Wali wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Jialan's wave of his hand, "Don't worry, I have a better food source. You will know about it tomorrow."

Several people left Jialan's residence with deep doubts and spent their first night in Aurora Village.

…

…

The morning light appears, and the birds chirp.

Today is the second day of establishing Aurora Village, and the fourth day of landing on the island. Jialan did not expect to have a satisfactory place to live so soon.

Compared to camping in the wild, the people who moved into the village were even busier.

Patrolling...clearing roads...preparing breakfast...building fences...

In the revitalization of deserted villages, it seems that everyone has endless things to do.

At eight o'clock, the sun had already risen above the canopy of the trees. The only owner of Sunless Island, Baron Lord Garland Amethyst, woke up leisurely from his simple bed of withered grass.

Jialan carefully stretched her waist, only to feel that her back was very stiff and sore, as if she wanted to be run over by a stone mill.

"I have to ask Myron to make a wooden bed for me. The ground is cold and hard to sleep on. After all, I am a lord. It doesn't matter if I don't have a maid to serve me. It would be too shabby to not even have a bed."

After muttering, he got dressed and went downstairs. He didn't see Walli and Mag. It seemed that they had gotten up early to do things.

"Good morning, sir! Your breakfast is ready! Do you want to eat it now?" The food prepared by Mai Duo is still wheat cakes, fish soup and grilled wolf meat.

"certainly!"

Jialan came to the stone stove, rolled the food into her stomach with the remaining heat of the stove, wiped her mouth, and asked, "Where are Mag and Walli?"

"Captain Mag is leading others to cut down trees near the village, saying that they want to plan an isolation zone to ensure the safety of the village; Walli went to the forest to look for herbs, uh... I remember going south."

"Is he alone?"

"Yes, alone." Mai Duo nodded and returned.

"This guy is so courageous, and he is not afraid of being encountered by monsters. Next time, he must be warned not to act arbitrarily."

Wall-E's confidence in entering and leaving the jungle was mixed with grass juice to mask the smell, but that stuff couldn't deceive the more intelligent monsters, and if he was unlucky, he would be killed in a matter of seconds.

After finishing breakfast, Jialan took small steps and followed the sound of chopping trees to find Mag and others.

Since there were only two axes, Mag and Myron were chopping the trunk, while the others used long swords and knives to trim the cut branches, and finally made a thick and long sharp wooden stake.

There are four or five such wooden stakes on the ground, indicating that they have been working here for a while.

"Lord Karan!"

Seeing Jialan approaching, Mag and others stopped what they were doing and saluted.

"Lord Jialan, I plan to clear out these trees that have invaded the village, and then build a fence with wooden stakes to surround the village. I will also clear an open space for growing potatoes."

"That's a good idea. Where's the well?"

"The mouth of the well is so narrow that there is no use for too many people, so I asked Maize and Maifu to handle the gravel at the bottom of the well. I hope they won't be lazy."

McGonagall replied with a shrug.

Jialan nodded and agreed with Mag's arrangement. As the captain, Mag is undoubtedly qualified and can be trained into an important role in managing the territory in the future.

Just after saying two sentences, there was a rustling sound in the forest. Just as everyone picked up their weapons and focused on alert, Wali, who was covered in weeds and branches, walked out of the woods.

Finding it was a false alarm, Mag joked.

"It's Wall-E! Why did you come back so soon? It seems like you have gained something."

"It is true that we have gained a little bit, but Lord Jialan is here, so there must be something more important."

Wall-E responded as he took off the jungle disguise tied to his body and returned to his normal appearance.
