Chapter 64 - 47: Developing Yatun Island (Seeking Recommendations )_2
Of course, Lilith also couldn’t speed up the growth of crops.
Because in fairy tales, you never hear of a fairy waving a Fairy Wand, and then the whole country enjoys a bumper harvest.
The one who could do that was not a fairy, but a god.
“Lilith can make trees grow, make flowers bloom out of nowhere, but she can’t
affect seeds.”
“That’s enough, that’s enough.”
If Lilith were omnipotent, then the people of Yatun would really end up being raised useless, so this was fine.
Things could be more convenient, but not without any effort at all.
Honestly, Bailuo was already thoroughly content with such power of the
Miracle.
“Is this all right?”
At dusk, Lilith was swinging the Fairy Wand, crafting houses for everyone.
After building more than a dozen houses, Lilith seemed to have used no energy at all and quickly began constructing another 20 houses.
In one afternoon, everyone oversaw the magically enchanted logging tools fell over 4,000 big trees, and one-third of them were crafted into smooth lumber.
The former was very simple, the latter relatively time-consuming.
Building the houses, which would have been the most time-consuming part, was fortunately taken over by Lilith.
“Everyone, start choosing your rooms now.”
“For the Tree Elves’ Descendants, over there.”
These houses belonged to the People of Yatun, while the hollows for the Tree
Elves’ Descendants were completely created by Lilith’s Magic.
Lilith made ancient trees rapidly change; their hearts expanded from within, and right where she faced, a round wooden door appeared, accompanied by two windows, followed by branches, flowers, vines, and leaves quickly adorning the place.
The Miracle Power was astonishing, whether for the people of Yatun or the Tree Elves’ Descendants, it elicited continuous amazement.
“Lilith’s abilities are indeed forest-oriented.”
Building houses couldn’t be done instantly, but transforming large trees into treehouses was so swift.
Bailuo even considered if perhaps the people of Yatun should just live in
treehouses.
However, Bailuo didn’t issue such an order; treehouses were limited, and if there were to be a hundred thousand or a million people in the future, could they all live in treehouses? That would make Yatun’s culture too uniform.
Hence, building houses was necessary, that was something that couldn t be skimped on.
“Rustle rustle–”
“It’s raining, everyone get inside.”
The climate on the island was quite changeable, and the Tree Elves
Descendants had lived here for a thousand years; they couldn’t understand it better.
Grandfather Andrew shared this knowledge with Uncle.
So first, everyone moved the grain and such to the storehouse, let the children stay in the treehouses and houses, and then quickly ducked into the newly built houses and treehouses to enjoy the warmth inside.
“Drink a bowl of ginger soup, take a bath, don’t catch a cold.
One of the many mysteries of the Initial Sprout Holy Pouch, capable of producing ginger but not ginseng, made Bailuo want to complain: ‘Do you not consider ginger a medicinal herb, huh?!’
Ginger: Don’t I have any dignity?
Inside the house, it was warm; iron oil lamps were hung on the walls, and their orange-yellow glow made the house bright.
“Ah-~”
Inya: “This is sowarm.”
The Bai Luo Family’s house was very simple, with only three rooms, plus a bathroom.
The ground beneath the bathroom was installed with proper sewage pipes by Lilith’s Fairy Magic, and each of the three rooms belonged to Bailuo, Inya, and their senior sister Isefia.
Uncle had his own house, as he liked quiet and wanted to leave space for Bailuo and the others, so he lived alone.
As the leader, Bailuo was the only one who could enjoy a two-story cottage, and that was something Lilith did deliberately.
In the eyes of a Miracle Creature, the master was the highest priority.
If it weren’t for the fact that building a castle would take a long time, Lihth probably wouldn’t let Bailuo live in such a humble abode.
Indeed, earlier, Lilith suggested building Bailuo’s palace first and having the others sleep a few more nights in tents.
To this, Uncle gave his full support with both hands.
Others felt the same, all believing that the king should have the treatment and appearance of a king.
But Bailuo refused, he didn’t want to do such a thing.
Lilith was helpless, so she could only craft a different, taller house for Bailuo as a symbol of leadership.
This was also why they were able to provide everyone with houses today.
If Bailuo had considered himself first, everyone might have had to squeeze into treehouses.
“Crackle.”
In the fireplace, the charcoal made a crisp sound. Inya sat by the fire, warming herself, the silly girl having stared at it for quite a while.
[Miracle Power: 30%]
With the acquirement of houses, the Miracle Power of the Tree Elves’ descendants had increased by another 5°/°.
Bailuo’s thought was correct; treating them well would increase the demand for this Miracle Power.
“Still 70% to go…”
Bailuo pondered what else he could do.
“The rain has stopped.”
Soon, the rain stopped.
The weather over the sea saw rain come with the wind, and after the wind passed, the sky cleared.
“Girl, come out for dinner.”
“Dinner?!”
On hearing about dinner, Inya was more eager than anyone: “Coming! Coming!”
The following days passed very peacefully, the anticipated pirates, perhaps due to being early in their voyage, showed no signs of return.
Nevertheless, Uncle would regularly send the White Eagles to circle the island, bringing back news at any time.
This was also the case with Sherri.
She needed to regularly take Bailuo flying high, then check with a telescope to stay alert at all times.
“There are no decent islands nearby for resting; the closest one is to the south, requiring over a day’s journey.”
