Cabin for two with Maid of Mond

"Okay, okay, restrain yourself and get down to business! Although your lady seems to have other plans, the action of our group has not been cancelled, and we still have to do what needs to be done. Let's make an idea together, and it seems that there is nothing to wait for Here's the chance, shall we do it directly!"

In the shadows, muffled discussions continued.

They were careful, choosing a stronghold that was well enough out of most of the sightlines in the sun.

But they are not cautious enough.

Can't avoid the prying eyes lurking in the deeper darkness.

Volume [-], Chapter [-] After the visit, before the dinner, time for two

In the afternoon, almost evening.

"Huh..." Toth stood at the door of his workshop and stretched.

At this moment, he was alone in the hut area, and the morning visitors had left for a while.

Most of the members of the Knights had other important tasks, especially Qin, who really took time out of their busy schedules.

As for Fischer, as an adventurer, she also has a commission that is scheduled to be fulfilled.

It is not difficult to fight monsters in the vegetable mine garden, and there are special fruits that can be eaten while fighting, but after all, it still takes physical strength.Even the eminent convict princess cannot abandon work in order to share knowledge of other worlds with Toth. She has to go back to rest to prepare for the afternoon task.

After sending everyone away, Toth himself had no time to spare, and turned around and devoted himself to the improvement of the design of the workshop.

This is a longer work than the vegetable garden. Even if the body is just sitting quietly in the workshop, the mental exhaustion is enough to make people physically tired.

"Huh? This feeling..."

Toth, who had just finished stretching, suddenly had a special feeling.

someone is coming.

Toth has tested that the hut does not have the function of actively detecting and notifying outsiders... Maybe it can be done, but that has to wait for development and research, not a hidden function that already exists like making wooden weapons.

In addition to the three facilities, the overall environment of the hut also has a little room for optimization and change.

As for what Thoth feels now...

"It doesn't feel like an 'outsider'... ah."

Toth understood, and walked quickly to the path.

When walking back to the door of the hut, I happened to see a silver-haired girl walking out from the front tree-lined walkway.

"Mr. Toth, hello, see you soon."

Noelle saluted and smiled sweetly.

"Why are you back? Did you forget something?" Toth also responded with a smile: "Of course, there is no need for any reason. Friends are always welcome here."

Toth had already noticed that Noelle didn't carry a food basket in his hand, so it didn't look like he came to feed last night.

This made Toth a little regretful.

Although I had enough fruit for lunch today, the muffins last night were still quite attractive.

"It's like this." Noelle said seriously: "I came with two tasks, one of which is to invite Mr. Toth to a banquet in the city tonight. Now that Mond is busy with revival, it is not suitable to hold a big event right away. But a reward meal with a small number of people is still possible. At noon, Captain Qin hadn’t arranged any arrangements, so there was no invitation on the spot. I will bring the invitation now, and I hope Mr. Toth will appreciate it.”

"Dinner party? That's it. Then please convey my thanks for me. I'm looking forward to it. I will definitely attend the appointment tonight."

"That's great." Noelle said with a smile: "However, I don't need to convey it. Please allow me to bother you here for a while. I will accompany Mr. Toth to the banquet venue later."

"Oh? Of course it's fine."

Noelle continued: "As for the reason for bothering, it is another task of mine. The head of the piano team saw how unprepared Mr. Todt's home was, and asked me to assist Mr. Todt in rectifying the environment, and the purchase of furniture was also handled by the knight. As long as it is within the appropriate range, please don’t worry too much about funding.”

Toth opened his eyes slightly.

And such good things?

Then he realized it.

——Ah, I see.

—Have you begun to express further goodwill for investing in me?Obviously my magic instrument plan is still in the air, I don't even have a paper plan...

—or maybe I'm a little narcissistic... more confident, not so much an investment in my project as in me personally?

——Actually speaking, my hut is located here, even if the battle of the two-headed monster flower is the trend of the times, things may become very complicated...

——Even a bit of conspiracy theory, even the double-headed monster flower can be my devious handwriting, just to facilitate the landing of the hut here, so as to continue my kind of... an evil conspiracy that I can't think of myself for the time being.

——They can take it lightly, which is already a great help.

Thoughts overlapped in his heart, Toth's smile remained unchanged.

"Thank you very much. Since it is the kindness of the Knights, and Captain Qin himself is not here, I will not be too polite. However, as for furniture, there should not be many parts that actually need to be purchased. I can handle most of them by myself. At most, I need to buy Simple decorations and the like."

"Huh?" Noelle said in surprise, "Could it be, Mr. Toth, are you going to make it yourself?"

"That's right, the forging room in my workshop can be completed first, and then the tools will be available."

"With forging tools?"

"Yes, it's about forging. In fact, in the previous world, besides minerals, I used wood, bone, cloth, etc., and the types of tools were quite wide. Although I specialize in art, I am far away from furniture. It’s far from being a craftsman, but it’s okay to make a few usable tables, chairs, cabinets, etc.”

"So that's how it is." Noelle clenched her small fist and said positively: "Please let me help! Although I'm not particularly good at carpentry, if I just assist from the side, I think I should be able to contribute a little bit! "

"Okay, I won't be polite at that time." Todt nodded and responded: "Speaking of which, my plan to make furniture is a little earlier than originally expected, and it's also thanks to you."

"I?"

"Yeah, although there are a lot of furniture materials..." Toth looked at the surrounding trees and said, "But I haven't thoroughly studied the current situation of the hut, and the surrounding woods are also surrounded by energy. This forest cuts some wood for use... and this problem has been solved today."

Noelle listened, thought for a moment, and then lightly punched the palm of his hand.

"A wooden weapon?"

"That's right, with similar sensory control, the vegetable garden can also provide me with suitable wood. Of course, those woods are not created by the condensed elements and cannot be produced infinitely, but they are completely sufficient for making cabin furniture."

The simple low chair prepared before receiving guests today, because Toth did not know this function, was the wood he found in other small forests on the hillside last night.

After Toth finished speaking.

Noelle didn't answer the call right away, but seemed to be in a daze for a while.

After waiting for a while, Toth smiled again and said, "How? It is indeed possible, isn't it?"

He already felt a slight change in the energy in the direction of the vegetable garden.

It was Noelle who tried the same operation just now, and didn't really let the wood emerge over there, but just confirmed that there is such a function.

"Yes, yes...ah!" Noelle panicked, and said anxiously: "Sorry, I accidentally did it! Because of that, I got used to this feeling when I was in the vegetable garden, but now I don't think much about it... ..."

"Don't worry." Toth comforted: "As I said before, this cottage is also your friend."

"Well, I see." Noelle still looked worried. "Since you said that, Mr. Toth... I want to ask a question. I didn't feel it at first, but today as I became more and more familiar with the induction here, I began to notice it slowly, and then I cared a lot..."

Noelle turned her head sideways.

Looking at the location of the Vegetable Mining Garden, it is in the other direction of the path around the house.

"There seems to be something...feeling stressful, uncomfortable...something over there?"

Toth also looked in that direction for a while, then nodded slowly.

"Today, when we took the acting team leader and the others on a tour, we first went to the workshop, and then the last place we went to was there. It just so happens that now I will also take you to other facilities besides the vegetable garden.

"The place you mentioned was supposed to be a ranch, but now I'm not sure what it will look like in the future.

"There is some kind of... trouble hidden there, perhaps difficult for ordinary people to deal with."

Volume [-], Chapter [-]: The Secret of Ranch Sealing (Revised)

In the previous life, Fatiru, the original hut and ranch...

If we ignore the many kinds of magic pets that have been raised in the ranch, and only talk about the environment of the ranch itself, it is the most common one among the three auxiliary facilities in the previous life.

In the orchard there is an old tree with wisdom and human speech, and the workshop building itself grows very extraordinary...

Only the pasture, the low and sparse wooden fence, and the small breeding wooden house, no matter how you look at it, it seems that it can only raise ordinary livestock.

If you don't know the details, it's hard to believe that such a simple and sloppy pasture has bred powerful monsters of various systems, including dragon species.

Although they can't raise truly special and powerful species, the magic pets raised by the hut and ranch also have a spirituality far superior to that of their wild counterparts, which is enough to help Thoth overcome difficulties in the world of Fatiru.

However, the method of catching and raising monsters in the Fatiru world is closely related to the monster ecology of the world. Unlike the elemental elves, Toth did not see a sufficiently similar monster ecology in Tivat.

This means that, in order to adapt to the laws of the world, ranch operations also need greater changes.If the original model is roughly moved over, there may only be a little nurturing bonus left, and most of the specificity will be lost.

Therefore, the ranch cannot be completed too quickly, and it may be slower than the workshop that needs to wait for Toth to learn knowledge. This is already expected...

However, Toth found further additional problems in the induction.

That issue was also shown to the three senior members of the Knights earlier today, and it attracted attention.

Now, Toth brought Noelle to the open space of the predetermined ranch, uncovered the concealment of energy, and also revealed that problem to Noelle.

"This...this is..."

When the energy began to surge, Noelle unconsciously clenched his silver teeth and took a few steps back.

What appeared from the empty place was a huge crimson crystal, larger than the size of an entire adult.

The color of the crystal itself is quite deep dark red, but its core is even more intense, almost as red as black, and it extends like a spider web crack inside the whole block.

What made Noelle retreat was not the state of the crystal itself, but the more direct rejection at the elemental level.

The reaction between elements will often produce destructive and intense effects, but even the explosion of the fire and thunder reaction is not considered "repulsion".

Even without any knowledge, Noelle understood instinctively...

"This feeling, this energy... isn't it elemental magic?"

Thoth nodded solemnly: "Well, according to Lisa, this is some kind of dirty impurity in the crystal, which will repel each other with our God's Eye.

"Attention, this distance is fine, don't go any further, you will feel very painful if you go any further.

"When I first discovered it, I suffered a lot. Lisa wanted to study it before, but she was directly bounced back by the repulsion force. She asked me to turn my head away from Kaia, so that she was not allowed to cry in pain. look."

Noelle opened her eyes wide.

She still remembered that Qin and the others seemed to be thinking about something when they returned to the vegetable ore garden to meet after visiting, but Lisa didn't have any special abnormalities, and she couldn't imagine that such a thing had happened.

Miss Lisa crying?Noelle felt that it was an unimaginable picture.

Noelle watched the huge dark red crystal cautiously, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Toth, what is this thing? Why is there such a terrifying energy? Is this... from your previous world?"

After a brief hesitation, Toth shook his head: "Maybe there is a little indirect connection, but this energy is mainly a product of this world, the Tivat continent. More specifically, it may be... dragon blood."

"Dragon's blood..." Noelle took a breath and murmured hoarsely, "So it's... the Wind Demon Dragon."

Toth nodded slowly.

In the battle between the two monsters a few days ago, Fengmolong had a chance to win, but was defeated because of the special physiological structure of the double-headed monster flower.

From the huge magic circle that the two-headed monster flower hit in the air, Feng Molong was seriously injured, and then frantically launched a hand-to-hand fight.

During this process, an unknown amount of dragon blood was spilled on the hillside.Even, when the Fengmolong turned and rushed down, some dragon's blood might be spilled farther away.

In the subsequent miracle of the hut's transformation of the environment, the energy of the mountain topography and the veins of the earth was smoothed out, and the elements returned to orderly flow, but there were sporadic impurities that could not be "digested".

What the hut can do is to gather and preserve those impurities, and naturally form an energy shield to cover it, preventing the alien energy from destroying the overall environment.

and so--

"While transforming the terrain, the hut collected the dragon's blood within its range of influence and turned it into this crystal. There is no doubt that this is energy that is very harmful to living beings, so the hut did not throw this thing out. , just suppress the crystal here.”

After hearing this, Noelle asked worriedly, "Will it do any harm to the hut by keeping this crystal here?"

Toth replied: "There will be no further damage. The energy of the hut can be suppressed safely, but it can only be suppressed, and there is no way to really solve the problem.

"Perhaps, it is possible to slowly purify this piece of crystal after a long period of 'washing'? But this so-called long time is really long. From the perspective of our ordinary human beings, it can basically be regarded as completely It means that it cannot be purified.

"Lisa can't figure out a solution for the time being, so I can only maintain the status quo. Then I have to seriously consider whether to try to study how to purify it, or simply make a stable long-term seal.

"It's just that, in this way, the potential of this facility will not be developed at all."

Speaking of this, Toth shook his head and sighed.

Then he controlled the energy of the environment, re-covered the crystals invisible, and the piercing sense of oppression dissipated immediately.
