Everyone was silent after listening.
That's right, food shortages are a problem that no kingdom has been able to solve until now. Although adventurers can use energy potions, their price is too high.
Remember that Hikaru's territory would soon house a lot of mixed-bloods, and many mixed-blooded people cannot use energy potions because they must use food.
To be more precise, mixed-blood people were the burden of a kingdom.
Anno also lowered her head in silence when she heard that, because she was the one who wanted Hikaru to bring the mixed-blood to this place. However, she also did not find a solution to the food problem.
Hikaru continued, "I have a way to solve this problem."
"Heh?!"
"Kiki, are you telling the truth?"
"Master, you can really solve this problem."
His three women all asked, but Darnag just sat and listened.
Hikaru nodded: "I own a kind of building, it can create an environment for agricultural development. "
Selvih immediately remembered the project that Hikaru had told her about before. She said, "Kiki, you have to think about this carefully, if this gets out, I'm afraid you will get into a lot of trouble."
Hikaru nodded and said, "With our current strength, I'm not afraid of any trouble. But that doesn't mean we're going to reveal information about this project."
"That's why,do you have any opinion on this?"
Anno said, "What kind of building is that, Kiki?"
Tsuraguki also listened attentively, anyway, Bloodmoon had a big problem with food, so she couldn't help Hikaru much.
Hikaru said, "It's the greenhouse."
After he finished speaking, he projected the greenhouse drawing in the air for everyone to see.
Everyone looked up, and upon seeing the greenhouse drawing and its usage, they were startled.
Even though Selvih had known about its use before through Hikaru, looking back now, she still felt extremely surprised.
Selvih took a deep breath and said, "If this kind of building can be used as the drawings depict it, it will overturn the entire balance of power in this world."
When Hikaru heard that, he felt confused and asked, "Why?"
Selvih shook her head and explained, "Currently, the most scarce thing in this world is food. The main source of food comes from monster meat and energy potions."
"However, only adventurers or people with mana abilities can use energy potions and afford to buy them."
"As for normal people, people who can't use mana, mixed-blooded people, or low-level races, they all still need food to survive."
Hikaru heard that and asked: "But there are people among low-ranking races who can use mana, do they still need food to survive?"
Selvih nodded: "That's right. Although there are people among the low-ranked races who are able to use mana, they are still dependent on food."
"Kiki, you can take the Lizard group led by Larinu as an example. Even though that group of Lizards has a lot of people who are able to use mana, they can't afford to buy energy potions."
"The energy potion for ordinary adventurers is something very cheap. But for races that are backward or don't trade often, contact with other kingdoms is extremely expensive."
"Because of that, they still have to live off monster meat."
Hikaru nodded: "So… to be more precise, it is because everywhere is covered in fog. That's why trading is very limited, so even people with the ability to use mana may not be able to afford energy potions, right?"
Selvih nodded: "That's right. Besides, the number of people like this is very large, making up 80-90% of the world's population."
"Imagine one day that this entire population doesn't need to worry about food. At that time, their only concern would be about how to use magic.
"At that time, the number of people who can use magic would increase. The more people who are able to use mana, the more likely there is to be a war."
"Besides, normal people and mixed-blood people have been suppressed for a long time, so the hatred in their hearts is not normal, it is terrible."
When Hikaru heard that, he naturally understood what Selvih was saying. Just like on earth, when people have enough material things, especially food, they start thinking about other things.
At that time, their other needs will gradually appear thanks to human greed.
When they are full, people will begin to demand delicious foods. When they are eating delicious food, they will demand that the food is safe and does not contain harmful substances.
In this world too, when people don't need to worry about food, they can take care of other matters.
It is not wrong to say that food is the driving force for the development of society.
However… Hikaru pondered for a moment and then asked, "Even though the food is adequate, it's not likely to give mixed-blooded and normal people the ability to use mana."
Selvih shook her head: "Kiki, you probably don't fully understand the royal matter."
"Royal problem?"
Selvih explained: "That's right. In fact, everyone has the ability to use mana, the difference is only in how much or how little they can use, how much potential they have, and whether they are properly trained."
"The Royal Family is worried that if everyone can use magic, it won't be special, so the class division will be chaotic."
"Many people who have the ability to use magic will also affect the order of the world."
"That's why the royal family made it seem that only people in the royal family could use magic and that normal people couldn't, and this has become a fact in this world."
Hearing that, Hikaru nodded. Just like on Earth, if only the military possessed weapons, they could easily maintain order.
But if everyone owns a weapon, it is easy to start riots, and it is difficult to quell them.
Selvih sighed and said, "That's why, even if this building is not exposed, in the future, it will be difficult for us to manage the territory."
Hikaru smiled at that: "Don't worry, that's for other kingdoms, it's fine for us. Did you forget we possess void energy?"
Selvih shook her head: "Of course I didn't forget, but we alone can't do everything, can we ban them from using magic?"
Hikaru nodded and said, "What if the void energy combined with the lighthouse?"
Selvih was startled, and she immediately stared at Hikaru: "Kiki, are you telling the truth?"
"That's right. I'm still doing more research, but in the future I will definitely not let you down. That's why, I think we can use that building to develop agriculture."
Hearing Hikaru's words, Selvih also nodded: "In that case, we are only worried about the other kingdoms knowing about the existence of this structure and attacking us or the food in our territory being sold outside."
Tsuraguki snorted contemptuously: "Huh! If those kingdoms dare to come here, I will destroy them like I am stepping on an insect."
Selvih shook her head: "Even if we have great power, we cannot protect the territory forever. The people in the territory must also be able to protect themselves and defend the territory."
"Besides, if they don't use force, they can use other methods. For example, when smuggling food out, you should remember that if everyone can use magic, they can also use space bags."
Hikaru frowned in thought for a moment, suddenly he remembered when he was living on Earth, especially when he was an ordinary office worker.
At this time, he smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about that problem."
"Hm?!" Selvih was startled, but when she saw Hikaru's confident face, she wasn't worried at all because she completely trusted him.
Anno and Tsuraguki too knew that if Hikaru told them not to worry, they just had to do as he said.
Hikaru continued: "The next problem is that we need people to work on that agricultural project. The initial estimate is 30 people, and it will gradually increase."
"However, I want these people to stay in a certain area and not go out. All activities inside this area will be kept confidential, and it will be treated as a no-go zone."
"Selvih, do you still have the seeds you gave me earlier?"
Selvih nodded and said: "Yes, but it is in the tomb of the Dark-Elf ancestors, if I want to get more, I will have to go back there to get it."
"Okay, pay attention to your safety." Hikaru said, "If there is anything, contact me, and I will appear immediately."
Selvih happily looked at Hikaru, hearing those words, her heart was also filled with warmth.
Anno immediately used magic to record what Hikaru said, and she asked: "So how do we ship the produce out?"
Hikaru said, "This is exactly what I mean. From the workers to the transporters, we cannot avoid the agricultural products being smuggled out."
"Even using a slave contract, the ancient kingdoms or the Holy Land have the ability to destroy that contract."
"Because of that, we can use people who emerge from the race gate; they will be loyal to us, and it would be hard for them to be influenced by others."
Anno nodded at that.
"Darnag, you will be the one overseeing the construction." Hikaru looked towards Darnag and said, "You can choose the workers according to your liking. My requirement for this building is confidentiality, you understand."
Darnag immediately stood up, then bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, master, for giving me such a noble task, I will certainly not let you down."
Darnag felt both pressure and joy at the same time. Know that this is a process that can change the current balance of power and stability in this world.
As a builder of this building, Darnag also contributed to the change of Misty World, which made him extremely excited.
[Master.] At this moment, Rika's voice resounded in his head: [Don't you intend to combine the uses of the lighthouse and greenhouse?]
Hikaru used his mind to communicate with Rika: "Don't worry. After Darnag finishes building the greenhouse, he can create a similar drawing of that building."
"At that time, we can create two types of buildings, the greenhouses for normal needs, and high-level buildings after fusion that we will use for other purposes."
