Living In Another World With A Farm-Chapter 7

The sky slowly darkened. In the entire castle, other than Zhao Hai’s bedroom, which was using magic lamps, the other places were using torches.

Magic lamp was made of a kind of magic crystal from the Ark Continent, and there were only two ways to get the magic crystal. The first was the underground magic crystal mine. This kind of magic crystal could be good or bad, and the amount of energy contained in it could be calculated. If there was a lot of energy, it could be used as a power source for magic tools. If there was little energy, it could only be used as a light source. This kind of underground magic crystal could not be renewed. After using it up, the magic crystal would be useless.

There was also a type of magic crystal that was produced by magical beasts. This kind of magic crystal was very rare. Out of ten magical beasts, there might not even be one magical beast with a magic crystal. Although the energy of the magic crystal produced by magical beasts was not very high, it was very stable. It was used as a support tool by mages when they cast spells. Most importantly, this kind of magic crystal could be used repeatedly. After its energy was exhausted, it could absorb the magical energy of the same attribute in nature and slowly replenish itself. This way, it could be used again.

No matter which type of magic crystal it was, they were very expensive. The magic crystal produced in the magic crystal mine was slightly cheaper than the ones produced by the magical beasts, but the price still was not something ordinary people could afford.

The Buda family was in a critical period. Although Grimm had bought a few magic crystals, each one was very precious and could not be used carelessly. Therefore, at night, other than Zhao Hai’s room, the other places were lit with torches.

At this moment, the slaves had already finished eating and were sleeping, but Merlyn had just finished cooking and had asked Meg to call Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai slept soundly. Although he had arrived in the other world, he now had the Space Farm. He did not have to worry about his livelihood. Moreover, because he had been unconscious for the past few days, Merlyn had been using magic to treat him. There was still a large number of water elements in his body. The water elements had the effect of calming the mind, and now that he was relieved, he slept especially well.

When Meg arrived outside Zhao Hai’s room, she first listened to the sounds in the room. The room was very quiet. Meg immediately knocked on the door and said, “Young Master, it’s time for dinner.”

There was still no sound in the room. Meg called twice more, but there was still no sound in the room. Meg had no choice but to push the door and enter Zhao Hai’s room.

Once she entered Zhao Hai’s room, Meg heard even breathing. She quietly walked to Zhao Hai’s bed and saw that he was sleeping soundly. He did not hear her shouts at all.

Meg sighed. She did not know if Zhao Hai was careless or stupid. At this point, he could still sleep so soundly.

Meg stood beside Zhao Hai’s bed and gently pushed him. “Young Master, it’s time for dinner.”

Zhao Hai woke up in a daze and muttered, “What time is it?”

Meg quickly said, “Young Master, it’s already seven in the evening.”

Zhao Hai opened his eyes and turned to look at Meg, who was standing beside the bed. He turned to look out the window and realized that it was already dark. He slowly sat up and shook his dizzy head. He turned to Meg and said, “Meg, what day is it today?”

Meg lowered her head. “Young Master, today is April 6th.”

Zhao Hai nodded and calculated in his head. He had fainted on February 17, 1637 in the New Era Calendar, and it was already April 6th now. In other words, he had been unconscious for more than a month. After losing consciousness for so long, he could still move so freely. If this were on Earth, it would be deemed a miracle.

However, Zhao Hai did not ask Meg the reason for this, because he knew from Adam’s memories that the healing magic of mages on this continent was very magical. Not to mention a month, even if you went into a coma for a year, you could walk on the ground naturally without showing signs of muscle atrophy after you woke up.

Just as Zhao Hai sat on the bed, Meg immediately took Zhao Hai’s boots and was about to put them on him when Zhao Hai immediately said, “Meg, put them down. I can do it myself.”

Meg was stunned, but she said, “Young Master, let me do it. This is my work.”

Zhao Hai was not used to this. He quickly stopped Meg and said, “Forget it. I’ll do such small things myself in the future.” With that, he snatched the boots from Meg and put them on.

Meg looked at Zhao Hai in a daze. She felt that the Zhao Hai today was very unfamiliar. In the past, Zhao Hai would not even take off his boots, let alone wear them. Today, he actually wore them himself.

Zhao Hai put on his boots and stood up. He turned to Meg and said, “Let’s go and eat first. I have something to discuss with Grandpa Grimm.”

Although Meg felt that Zhao Hai was very strange today, she still agreed and led him to the dining room. Because Meg knew that Zhao Hai had not left his room since he arrived, he would not know the structure of this castle. If she let him walk alone, he would definitely not know where the dining room was.

As soon as he left the room, Zhao Hai was stunned. Then, he looked around curiously. This castle was clearly an ancient castle. It had been built for some time, but it looked quite sturdy. However, the style was very old, and the interior design was not like Adam’s original home. It gave off a dark feeling.

However, Zhao Hai did not care about this. He preferred the castle like this. In his impression, castles should look like this. This was the style of an ancient castle. Perhaps he could even find secret rooms in this castle.

Soon, Zhao Hai noticed the torches on the wall. When he saw these torches and thought of the price of the magic crystals, he immediately understood why they were used here.

Although Adam did not know the value of common goods, he knew the price of things like magic crystals. This was because such things were high-end consumer goods that only people of Adam’s level could afford, so he knew the price. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

At the same time, Zhao Hai thought of the magic lamp in his room. It seemed like that was the only magic lamp in the entire castle. At the thought of this, Zhao Hai’s heart couldn’t help but feel warm.

The dining room was not far from Zhao Hai’s bedroom. Soon, the two of them entered the dining room. Grimm, Merlyn, Rock, and Wood were waiting for Zhao Hai in the dining room. Seeing Zhao Hai enter, they bowed and said, “Good evening, Young Master. Enjoy your meal.”

Zhao Hai nodded and looked at the wooden table in the dining room. He realized that only his cutlery was placed there. Through Adam’s memories, Zhao Hai knew that servants were not allowed to sit with the nobles when they ate. They could only stand aside and wait.

Zhao Hai sat down and looked around the dining room. The room was not big, only about twenty square meters. There was a long dining table in the middle. The dining table was covered with a snow-white tablecloth, and there were two candle holders on the table. There were three candles on each candle holder.

There were eight chairs around the dining table. The workmanship of these chairs was very exquisite, and it was obvious that they were high-grade goods. There was a torch in every corner of the dining room, illuminating the entire dining room. But other than these, there was nothing else in the dining room.

After looking around the room, Zhao Hai turned to Grimm and said, “Grandpa Grimm, sit down and eat. I have something to ask you after dinner.”

Grimm immediately bowed to Zhao Hai and said, “Young Master, this won’t do. We can’t sit with you while you’re eating. This is the Empire’s rule.”

Zhao Hai snorted and said, “The Empire’s rules are not my rules. Since the Empire has given up on us, why should we respect the Empire’s rules? Stop talking about them. Go get the cutlery and sit down to eat. I have something to talk about. If you don’t eat, I won’t eat either.”

Seeing Zhao Hai’s expression, Grimm had no choice but to turn to look at Merlyn. Merlyn glared at him and said, “Why are you looking at me? Young Master hasn’t eaten properly for more than a month. Do you want him to starve?”

As expected, to Grimm, Zhao Hai’s body was more important than anything else. Hearing Merlyn say this, he immediately turned his head and said, “Then serve the food to everyone. I’ll wait on the young master.”

Merlyn did not say anything this time and led Meg away. Grimm sat down with Rock and Wood. Wood and Rock were clearly not used to this. Their postures were rigid. Moreover, it could be seen that the two of them were a little silly and did not know how to speak. After seeing Zhao Hai, they only followed Grimm in saying, “Good evening, Young Master. Enjoy your meal.” They did not say anything else.

From Adam’s memories, Zhao Hai knew that Wood and Rock were adopted by his father. They were not smart and could be said to be very stupid. However, the two of them were born with extraordinary talent and divine strength. In addition, they had learned the Berserk Dragon Battle Aura. Now, the two of them were almost level-six warriors. Moreover, they were loyal to the Buda family and would definitely not betray them.

While Merlyn was away to serve the food, Zhao Hai turned to Grimm and said, “Grandpa Grimm, how many gold coins do we have now?”

Grimm was stunned. He did not know what Zhao Hai meant by asking this, but he immediately stood up and replied, “Young Master, we still have 180 gold coins, but we don’t lack any resources now, so these gold coins can be used.”

Zhao Hai quickly asked Grimm to sit down and said, “Then when we came from the capital, did we use carriages to bring the things here? What about the horses pulling the carriages?”

Grimm said, “Young Master, our place is small and we don’t have much production. Therefore, in order to save on food, we only got five horses. The carriages we used when we came were all rented.”

Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood what Grimm meant. Grimm was trying to save as much as possible. It had to be known that a good horse was not just fed with grass. It had to be fed with some food, and they could not produce much food at all. Therefore, they had to save as much as possible, instead of raising horses that they could not feed.
