Chapter 419 Before winter
"Winter is coming soon," Ram said to Suraj.
Hearing his mother tongue, Suraj felt a deep sense of familiarity.
But he still said to Ram seriously, "Try not to speak your native language, so as not to be recognized by outsiders. We are from Swabawa."
Perhaps this worry is unnecessary; in fact, very few people know about his homeland.
Ah, a country too small to be remembered.
However, Suraj loves his country.
He was born into a noble family and was taught from a young age.
The dignity of the king, the lord, and the surname must be upheld.
Suraj has always done this; he has always looked down on all living beings while looking up at the three.
However, Suraj had a different opinion about Ah Jun.
This man of humble origins earned Suraj's respect through his actions.
Perhaps it's because we've been through so much together?
Suraj didn't know, but he was a special man, someone he could place his hopes on.
How is Ah Jun now? Has he returned to his hometown?
He told the Lord about the situation in the New World, and then brought ships and troops to the New World to meet him.
Then he must be prepared.
Ah Jun didn't know that Suraj had crossed the Storm Sea and landed on the west coast of the New World.
The place they agreed to meet was the same estuary they had visited before.
Suraj must quickly develop his stronghold, recruit more foolish green-eyed people, and then head to the east coast to meet the great fleet.
But right now, Ram's words reminded Suraj.
Winter is almost here.
The New World is surrounded by forests, as if vitality is the instinct of this land.
And all the plants were able to grow unchecked.
It was warm and stuffy.
This is Suraj's only impression of the New World after these past few months.
But what's winter like here? Does it still snow?
do not know.
But we must be fully prepared.
The unknown is always frightening.
The Far East continent reveres knowledge, and it is precisely because of this fear that several houses have already been built in his Paradise City.
The towering building at the very center is the main hall of the outpost.
The members would discuss and eat here.
In addition, there is a kitchen built of stone and a woodworking shop.
There are five residential buildings.
The rooms are divided into groups of six or seven people.
The houses were built with processed timber, which provided perfect shelter from the cold wind.
Therefore, Suraj is confident that he can survive the harsh winter.
Although it may not be cold.
They should thank Suraj for leading them.
Suraj is able to use his soul abilities to monitor the development and operation of the entire outpost.
That's why Amusement Park City has become what it is today.
But the scale needs a large population to grow fully, and Suraj is eager for the arrival of the rescue fleet for his hometown!
The only problem is food.
Currently, they have enough food by hunting, fishing, and gathering fruits and vegetables.
I also made some smoked meat and smoked fish so that I could eat them in the winter.
However, people from the East naturally prefer to eat wheat and rice.
In Suraj's eyes, the sweet and rich milk bread and the plump, distinct grains of rice far surpassed the poor-tasting berries.
The problem was that his first attempt at sowing ended in failure.
Suraj planted the seeds in the summer, and they should be ready to harvest now.
However, not only did they fail to harvest anything, but even the crop stalks were unusually short.
This is clearly a developmental malformation.
Suraj was not an expert in farming; one of his entourage was a farmer.
He was the one who guided several members in the sowing process.
According to this person, both the reclamation and plowing of the land fully met the standards.
Subsequent watering and fertilization were also strictly followed.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.
There are only two possibilities left now.
It's either a problem with the seeds or a problem with the land.
But no matter how quickly Suraj finds the answer, can land capable of nurturing vast forests not even support one or two seedlings?
There's one more thing worth mentioning.
During this time, they used discarded tools to exchange for a large amount of spices from the Green-Eyed People.
Just as Suraj had predicted, the merchant named Leo had only obtained the agency rights for spices from one of the tribal confederations.
Other tribal confederations still had large stockpiles of spices, and it was because he had frequent access to spices that Suraj discovered something.
Each time he eats food mixed with spices, his abilities are enhanced to a certain extent.
Suraj concluded that spices have the power to enhance extraordinary effects.
This discovery thrilled him, as it meant that the value of spices would increase further.
His homeland will surely become completely powerful because of spices!
Let those damn Federation people be jealous!
The presence of spices greatly improved the food at the outpost.
It was the novel and delicious food that allowed those uncouth employees to temporarily forget their physical exhaustion and willingly follow Suraj's instructions.
Of course, Suraj also made them many promises.
Suraj may keep his promise in the future, but if it harms Swabawa's interests, he will not hesitate to break the agreement.
Ultimately, the food issue remains an unknown.
Perhaps we could buy food from the Green-Eyed People, but the problem is that the tools in Paradise City are also running out.
The continuous high-intensity work has caused the tools to be worn out in large quantities.
They had to dig rocks with pickaxes and make stone tools for emergencies.
The downgrading of means of production will greatly affect the future development of Amusement Park City.
Not to mention, it was used to exchange supplies with the green-eyed people.
Well, in that case, we also need to consider the iron ore production.
Among his entourage was a blacksmith who had been specially trained in the technique of burning ore into raw ore.
This requires Suraj to find a mineral vein.
The explorers of Paradise City always leave early and return late, and recently they have even had to go out for several days in a row to explore.
But they still couldn't find the mineral vein.
Their exploration was indeed inefficient and certainly not thorough enough. If Suraj went, he could send his soul deep into the mountain to examine the stone.
Once Suraj leaves, the efficiency of the construction of Paradise City will be greatly reduced.
The dilemma must be resolved!
However, once winter arrives, many things will have to stop.
For example, sowing seeds and building.
At that time, Suraj might be able to join the exploration team.
Winter is a big problem.
Hopefully it won't be too cold.
Suraj wouldn't place all his hopes on prayers; he had already made some preparations.
For example, he has already produced a large amount of charcoal, enough to keep them warm throughout the winter.
Speaking of which, there is indeed a strange thing.
Not far from that tribe, there were other tribes.
Suraj later discovered that the tribal density in this area was not low.
But unfortunately, there are no Green-Eyed People living near Paradise City.
Is this just a coincidence?
Suraj could not reach a conclusion
