“Since their disposition tends to lie closer to chaos, it is much more difficult for them to increase their affinity to nature than elves,” Madis noted.

Yuria Helishana smiled brightly at Madis. “I plan to leave the village for a little while soon.”

“Yuria, my friend. What is…”

“I think I have found a way to save the village. Don’t worry, I will leave after reassuring the village.”

Madis was left momentarily speechless at Yuria’s words.

The residents had done far more than what Davey had imagined. ‘They say the more passionate employees, the more the company grows.’ That seemed to be the same on Earth and the Tionis continent.

“Explain to me why a four-day’s job is being wrapped up in half a day?” Davey asked.

Monmider awkwardly smiled at Davey. “That is… They said that they were making it up to you…”

Davey knew how people, who couldn’t control their power, acted when they were given too much of it. However, the timeline had been shortened because they had worked at a speed that exceeded Davey’s expectations. It wasn’t bad regarding the immediate gain, but in the long run… ‘It’s actually a loss.’

As Davey pulled out a small pouch from his chest and gave it to Monmider, he looked at Davey in confusion. Davey instructed, “Plant these exactly one week from now. Don’t just sprinkle them, but it should be fine if you plant them with adequate space in between.”

When Davey handed him a small pouch, Monmider wondered if this was really everything. He opened the pouch, checked the inside, and his eyes flew wide open at the storage-expanding magic on the inside. “S… Sir, this is…”

“It’s moon grass. No, it’s actually the seedlings of the flowers. It should be of better quality since it’s from the origin.”

“Se… Seedlings?!”

Of course, seedlings were more difficult to obtain than leaves. Monmider seemed quite surprised at how Davey had just acquired them.

“How… However, we do not know how to cultivate moon grass…”

“It’s right here.”

Davey wasn’t playing around with the magic stone for a week, just doing nothing.

“Is this…really enough? In the human realm, this is…” Monmider was surprised as he read the documents Davey handed him, since there were detailed instructions on how to maintain and manage moon grass. He stuttered, “Forgive me. It’s not that I don’t believe you, sir, but…”

“Honestly, I would have a hard time believing it as well. This is a dying territory anyways; just take a leap of faith and bet your money on it. The heavens will help us with anything if they are pleased.” Davey smiled.

Although Monmider didn’t understand Davey, he didn’t really distrust Davey. A guarded person was a careful person; Davey knew that these kinds of people offered quite a lot of faith once they began to trust.

As Davey began planting moon flower seedlings along with the militia, they began voicing their confusion about what exactly they were planting and if it would really grow. That seemed to be what they were thinking.

Unlike other flowers, moon flowers took four to five months to fully blossom. This was also Davey’s first attempt, which was why he had prepared for everything. One relief was that the residents had no complaints about this unusual business proposal because they showed a maniac-like faith toward Davey and his plans, since he hadn’t been taking anything from them. Tax was something to be collected only when the residents had enough to live on.

According to what Davey could remember, there was one thing necessary to successfully grow moon flowers: to create the most optimal conditions for its growth by altering the temperature, weather, and ground conditions. Originally, the flower had to be budded by spiritual powers, but it wasn’t really necessary since the leaves, and not flowers, were being sold. Of course, Davey didn’t forget to surround the cultivated area with a wooden fence; it would be problematic if external factors were carelessly let in.

“Your Highness.”

“What’s the matter?”

“Is this going well? Since I don’t have the skills to harvest moon grass…”

“What’s your question?”

“That is… The leaves are slowly drying…”

“It’s going to rain soon, as the heavens are pleased.”

Monmider looked stunned by Davey’s words. However, his dumbfounded expression quickly transformed into one of shock. His jaw dropped at the light rainfall that happened on the very next day.

“Your Highness, the temperature is getting hotter than expected…”

A cool breeze came over the entire moon flower field the next day.

“…” As if Monmider had nothing more to say, he did not worry anymore and only reported what was necessary.

Four months had passed as this uneasy situation was maintained.

* * *

For four months, Davey had slaughtered the goblins, which had a high chance of invading the territory again, or focused on cultivating new farmland for the residents. Since the goblins were pretty stupid, they would most likely attack the territory again for food, even after they had suffered that much.

-They are what people call dumbasses.

“Where did you learn that kind of language?”

-I learnt it from you.

“Okay, then…” Davey felt a little guilty as Perserque looked up at him with a smirk. It didn’t change the fact that she had the appearance of a little girl, although she was a being who had lived far longer than him.

In a short period of time, the barren wasteland had become farmland. It was now a field of moon flowers, which were very valuable in the eastern continent. But of course, since there weren’t ones healthy enough to take seedlings from, Davey had just broken even, but he had harvested many leaves that could be sold.

“100 gold for one of those flowers.”

Due to their rarity, moon flowers were much more expensive in the eastern continent than the west. It was also very time-consuming to grow and harvest them.

‘The market of the eastern continent is going to change completely.’

Seeing dozens of carts filled with moon grass, which could be sold for ten times the original cost because of how scarce and valuable it was, Davey felt at ease.

-Interesting things will happen if you sell all of that.

“Yes.”

This time, Davey didn’t intend to hide the harvest like he did the magic stones. He didn’t cultivate them for no reason. In the process, he had also strongly blocked any information about the growth process of the moon flowers from getting out.

News about Davey growing moon flowers in this continent had probably already spread, but the people all scoffed that it could not be cultivated in the eastern continent, where there were distinct seasons. They probably mocked that the First Prince, who had been demoted to a wasteland, had finally gone mad. Frankly, Davey also couldn’t have made money this easily if it wasn’t for the great curse on the territory. As he planned, rumors spread that the First Prince Davey was a stubborn greenhorn who was betting on the impossible. It was all going according to plan for now.

“Well then, time to switch it up.”

If he pushed forward with this business without letting any news get out, some people might have tried to obstruct him. However, from the moment it spread that Davey was trying to harvest moon grass without any plan or preparation, he had become an idiot who wasn’t even worth their time.

-This kind of thing only works once.

“So we’ll have to make the most of it at once.” Davey glanced at the pile of documents in front of him. The moon flowers were successfully harvested, flawlessly packaged, and stored in the seigneur’s palace. “Now, let’s turn the continent upside down.”

Davey could practically smell the money. As if his comment had ignited it, surprising news started spreading around the continent just a few days later. It was news that the Heins Territory, the dying wasteland that would take ten to twenty years to recover even if was starting to rain, had successfully harvested large amounts of scarce and rare moon grass. It’s a shame that Davey couldn’t see the faces of those who adamantly believed that he would fail.

20. Dispatched! Turn it Upside-down!

It was difficult to densely cultivate this damn greedy moon flower if the spirit’s aura wasn’t strong. But it didn’t matter since Davey had an abundance of land.

“There are about 20,000 moon grass leaves deposited in storage,” Amy reported with a frown on her face, as if the multiple things she had to learn were giving her a headache. Well, this was expected of her since she had followed Davey here without any complaint.

One moon flower yielded four leaves, and one seed grew into five or six stems and multiple flowers. About ten thousand flowers had budded, but there was always trial and error. To be more exact, it was because there was an absence of technique and skill. Davey had heard all sorts of tales from Bow Lord Apollo, the only elf at the Hall, but it wasn’t like he was growing flowers there. As a result, only 5000 flowers had survived, which was about half the number.

It didn’t change the fact that this alone was still an astounding number. The current market price for the four leaves was a hundred gold. And since about half of the 20,000 leaves would probably be good enough to sell, he could sell about 10,000 leaves. With a single leaf being priced at 25 gold, it would be 250,000 gold if he sold all of them at that price. That would be about 5,000 platinum coins.

To put that into perspective, one gold was enough for a commoner family to live for two weeks on a tight budget. For the wealthier families, they could use about four or five gold for the same length of time.

‘Amazing.’

It was truly an astounding amount.

There were about two seasons in a year when the moon grass leaves became available in the continent. It wasn’t a small amount, but it wasn’t enough for the continent to use generously, either.

-The main catalytic ingredient in magic and alchemy. It is also used in potions in the temple. They’re going to drool all over it, holding bunches of money.
