25 Fertilizer for Better Harvest

After ordering Sebastian to stand up, I cough to change the topic.

"As I already mention to you yesterday, I will be giving you something that will accelerate plant growth," I said in confirmation about the matter yesterday.

"Yes! Might I know what the thing is, Young Master?" Not minding the previous matter, Sebastian asked curiously.

As if waiting for that response, I clap my hand to give a sign then two 'All Purpose Robot' came while bringing two barrels in their hand.

Sebastian was curiously viewing the barrels and the robots with an eye that were full of sparkle as if they were unique to him. Then, the barrels were presented in front of me before the two robots dips out.

I open one of the barrels and from inside were revealed to be some kind of white-colored sand that was reflective of the light that got to it.

"This is Phosphorus Nitride, a thing that I mean yesterday!" I introduce Sebastian a great invention that will help the growth of crops.

Hearing what I said, Sebastian was confused as he scrutinized his gaze to the Phosphorus Nitrate inside the barrels before he gazes back at me and said,

"This sand-like thing was capable to accelerate plant growth? Popostus nitrit?" Sebastian's face was full of confusion as he gazes back and forth the barrels and me.

'Ahh… Of course, he will be confused but to think that he never hears this kind of thing was quite surprising!' My back starts having a cold sweat as I was confused on how to explain it.

"It is some kind of fertilizer that was made from rock that was rich in Phosphor and Nitrogen… For more detail, I will show you this." After said that, I open the second barrel and show him the contents.

From inside were chunks of rock with a pale-yellow colored and rock with gray reddish-brown colored on it. I gathered it from the deposit of metal that the robots were mining before.

Just then, I take out the yellow rock and gray-red rock from the barrel and start explaining it.

"This rock that had the pale-yellow color was a rock that was rich in Phosphor….. It could be found in surface and deep mines…. As for this one with the gray reddish-brown colored on it were a rock that rich in Nitrogen….. " I explain the rock nonstop to make Sebastian understand what it was and what it contains, and also the place where it comes from.

Lily who was standing beside me all this time started to dose off as she yawns multiple times before she falls half asleep while standing.

Sebastian was nodding his head with a crease in his forehead as if he were trying his best to understand what I said while probably only understood half of it.

"That's all about what it is. Do you understand what I just said?" I gaze at Sebastian while ignoring the dozing Lily at the side.

"Of course, Young Master! But may I ask? What is Phosphor and Nitrogen?" Sebastian gaze at me with a puzzled expression of the word.

"Ah… Forget it! I will give you a book later that will explain from the basic." I roll my eyes as I completely give up on explaining things before continuing, "The most important thing is that we need to gather this kind of rocks before grinding them into dust, then spread it before watering them with water into the crops field in the fief!"

"Will it be effective, Young Master?" A doubtful look was plastered on Sebastian's face. After all, would a rock even affect anything to the soil fertility?

"Of course, it is! The harvest of the crops in the fief will be at least five times that of before and will also heal the exhausted land more effective than simply using manure!" I nod with a proud smile.

"That's wonderful! It must be another great invention of the Young Master's Master! The things he makes before were all a brilliant discovery!" Sebastian misinterprets with certainty.

"Uhum… Yes, it is! There will be more of his invention in the future so don't be too surprised." As it was already too late to correct him and as to make the origin of the discovery more credibility. I decided to just dump it into my non-existence master whatsoever.

Although, if it was really needed for me to show my 'Master', I already had something in mind to take care of that problem.

"Anyway, I want you to gather personnel in the fief for gathering this kind of rocks, and I will give you an instruction manual on how to process and use it at the field," I ordered as I throw back the rocks to the barrel before closing it.

"Yes! I will do as you wish!" Sebastian bows his head a little with his usual hand position at his left chest.

"Good." Then, I take out a box full of five strange transparent vials in a small tube case and gave it to him.

"This is a vial full of microscopic nanobot that I named <Miracle Potion> and were useful for the body while also could kill all kinds of disease. I want you to give it to Sir Gareth, the head maid Tia, Magistrate Bryant, and the others that were very trustworthy!" I added in a resolute and firm attitude.

"Of course, leave this task to me!" Sebastian takes the box carefully from me before storing it in his pocket.

"Oh, also called Tia to my office! I had a task for her" I added.

Then, Sebastian nods his head before dismissing himself and going into the mansion.

As the conversation was finished, Lily who was still half asleep while standing beside me immediately burst out and stared at me with a little bit of resentment.

Seeing that stare, I was confused and demanded,

"What is that stare for?"

"Hum" Lily puffed out her cheeks and cast her gaze away.

'This… Did I do something wrong? She must have been bored and got dejected since I ignore her yawning sign.' I thought confused while scratching my cheek with my forefinger.

"Okay-okay, here... have some candy." Then, I take out one candy out of the box and gave it to her.

Lily immediately take it from my hand and the resentful stare on her face was gone and change into a smile as if it never has been in the first place.

'A 10 years old child in this world sure is simple! Or is it just Lily being the special case here?' I cast that thought aside as we get into the mansion.

After that, I wait at the office with Lily until I hear a knock at the door. As I give my confirmation, a woman with a sharp gaze came from outside before salute to me.

"You called, Young Master?"

I nod my head and said while pointing at Lily, "The reason I call you here was to teach this girl some common sense and basic ethics."

As Lily had been asleep for more than a millennium and her past memory was gone except some basic memory to functions as a normal human being, I decided to have the head maid Tia teach her.

Just then, Tia gaze her eyes to Lily strangely before gazing back at me with a cold glint in her eyes before asking with a hidden malice in it,

"Isn't she being too early to be a bride? I suggest waiting two to three more years as that were the normal ages for nobles to get wed."

'Pfthhhh…. A bride? A bride you head! And what is with two to three more years? 13 or 14 years old having a marriage? Is that even allowed? Oh yeah, this was a world of Fantasy Medieval Age.' I was lost for word to say as I hear what Tia just said.

"Me? A bride?" Lily was blushing shyly while holding her red tomato cheeks with her two hands.

'Why are you blushing? It's cute alright but this doesn't make sense.' I shake my head with a dim expression. 'I think my reputation was getting worse and worse after I bring her.'

Now that I think about it, for a Lord of a fief bringing a pretty girl around his age to his home. Aren't that asking for a beating? I mean like I was digging my own grave unknowingly.

"Ahem… No, it wasn't for that, she was my junior Lily. She had spent all of her life studying under my Master so her common sense of the world and basic ethics might be lacking, that's why I ask you to teach her." I explain half-truthfully with a make-up story.

"Ah… So that what it is? If it was for Young Master's Master, then I will happily do it!" Tia nods in agreement while not minding her misunderstanding before.

Hearing what she said, it makes me confused as to what makes her motivation quite apparent.

"Why so?" My expression was a bit intrigued as I clenched my hands in front of my face.

"One of his invention called 'soap' was so wonderful, it was popular for the females especially servant at the mansion," Tia said as she holds her chin.

"Is that so? Then I will entrust her to you." I was surprised that a woman with a sadistic tendency like her will like that kind of thing. Indeed, the mind of a woman is hard to tell.

Just having said that, I gaze at Lily at the side and told her to follow Tia's instruction. Although she refused at first with shaking her head adamantly, after I promise her another reward if she finishes her lecture, she agreed.

Then, Lily and Tia leave the office as they went to another room in the mansion to get Lily lectured.

After having finished all of that, I decided to make an official tour or inspection in the town tomorrow and see what people's reactions from the inventions I had sold at the Fortuna Chamber of Commerce. I also plan to gather capable people that might potentially be useful.

Also, I decided to continue my sword training with Sir Gareth at the field after haven't done so for a few days since I was so busy doing counter-invasion and expedition.

When the sun was setting to the west, I finished my training and went back to the mansion to have dinner with Lily.

She was wearing a black gothic dress that was perfect with her white-colored hair. This was a scenery that was epic to see, a gothic loli. I had Vonix take a photo of her, so it didn't fade in my memory.

The dinner went smoothly only if she didn't have to eat three portions more than I had. The other servants were flabbergasted and were opening their mouth so big that if someone were to place an egg, it will fit inside. They were shocked by how much of a glutton she was.

'Where does she even store all of that?' I ask a question that will never be answered.
