I came to the experimental field east of the town. After only one day, several green seedlings withered in the fields.

When I saw such results when I hired someone to try the plant, Irving was both anxious and helpless. Now, he came here again with hope from another world.

[Do as I said before.] Winster said in his mind.

【Um.】

Walking to the edge of the field, Owen squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil in the field, and rubbed it in his hand.

【How is it? Have you collected data there?】

Irving's field of vision did not display any data, and all the data was transmitted to Winster because of what he said before - the system was too simple.

[Collected, the pH is greater than 9.5, and the moisture content is extremely low. Tsk! This is a severe saline-alkali land.]

【Where are there any suitable seeds?】

What is saline-alkali land? It doesn't matter. What Irving is most concerned about now is whether there are crops that can be planted on such lands, which will save the declining border towns.

[Hmph, of course there is. Don’t underestimate the technological power of our side. Not only are there several super alkali-resistant wheat, but other crops can be planted on such land. With the appropriate cultivation method, the yield should be good.]

Winster said proudly and confidently, as if the land had already planted the seeds he provided.

[Considering our eating habits, please give priority to wheat seeds. Next year, this land will produce enough grain to help Bianshu Town get rid of its dependence on foreign food.]

[Oh? I dare to make bold statements. I thought you would ask for seeds first to try planting.] Winster was a little surprised.

[No, I believe in the technological power of your side.]

After slapping the dust on his hands, Owen stood up and looked around the cursed land, he thought to himself that there will be a huge change here next spring.

Mapel behind him kept staring at Irving, and suddenly found a confident expression on his face and his eyes were filled with hope, as if the problem that had troubled him had been solved.

He should have a new idea in his heart. No matter what, I will always guard him. Mapel kept this idea in his heart.

[After that being said, why do you have such a large area of ​​saline-alkali land here?] Winster felt a little strange.

When he was in the study in the morning, he looked at the map of Bianshu Town. On the way to the test field, he also observed it specifically and had a certain understanding of the surrounding situation of the town.

To the west of the town are the transverse mountains across the continent, which extend continuously, and a large area of ​​high mountains are the longest span of this continent; to the east are the Tianqiu Mountains, which are generally northwest to southeast, with rugged terrain and very steep.

The Weishui River originates from somewhere in the Tianqiong Mountains and flows from north to south through Bianshu Town. In the southwest direction of the town, there is a large dense forest in the south that runs across the eastern half of the mountain range - Mysterious Forest.

In this environment, most of the land in Bianshu Town is severely salinized, and only part of the land on both sides of the river can be cultivated, which is very wrong.

【It was caused by the curse of the Kazites.】

Owen answered in his mind, his tone was very firm.

Then, he briefly introduced to Winster the history of the town below and the origin of the curse of the Kazites.

Bianshu Town was originally established to mine the rich ore resources nearby. The situation at that time was different from now on. There was a large amount of arable land and the grain output was surplus year by year.

Later, due to some changes, the border town was enfeoffed to the Aisen family.

Since when, the land in Bianshu Town has become increasingly barren, and the grain output has gradually decreased, which cannot meet the needs of the town, so it has to purchase a large amount of grain from outside.

This phenomenon is not a unique example. The Red Sand Fortress, located in the northern border of the Morning Light Kingdom and across the large gap in the middle of the mountain range, has also experienced this process. Since the Red Sand Fortress is an important military base, it can survive by relying on the kingdom to transport grain, but the border town is not an important place.

The culprit that caused this phenomenon was the rumored immortal king Kaztu.

In the jihad two hundred years ago, Kazite was severely injured by the church. Unwilling to die here, he summoned a large area of ​​strong sand storms to sweep both sides. When the sand storm calmed down, the battlefield under his feet turned into a desert, and Kazite disappeared without a trace.

In the next two hundred years, with the desert formed at that time as the center, the external land seemed to be cursed, gradually desolate, and then desertified, and eventually the place north of the mountains became a vast desert, and this curse continued to spread.

This is the origin of the curse of Kazites.

The Church and the Kingdom of Morning Light have sent people to secretly search for Kazs, but the other party hid very secretly, and no one has found his traces so far.

Therefore, it is impossible to find Kazs and defeat him to lift the curse.

[The Curse of Kaztu? Is it magic? This involves my blind spot in knowledge.]

This matter was related to magic, and Winster had no choice but to do anything about it. This made him a little unhappy and secretly made up his mind to study magic.

Winster already knew about the situation in the border town. But he still had some doubts, so he continued to ask.

[If it is just to solve the food problem, why not expand the arable land south along the banks of the river? Or develop the forest in the southwest. I see that the forest does not seem to be affected by the curse.]

Hearing this question, Owen's face looked a little strange, but he still answered.

[Along the south is the territory of the Duke of Eddie, the East Fortress, I cannot cultivate on other people's land.]

【It is actually someone else’s territory, so why is there no trace of development in the south?】

[The cultivated land in Dongsheng Fortress is mainly concentrated in the south, and the land in the north is rarely developed.] Irving explained.

[Isn’t this occupying the pit and not stool?] Winster complained mercilessly.

【It is true, but I have no choice.】

Irving shrugged, his expression quite helpless.

As for the mysterious forest in the southwest, Irving said that it was the land that every king of the Morning Light Kingdom wanted to develop day and night.

However, there are a large number of monsters and various sub-ethnic tribes in the forest. If the forest is forcibly developed, they will definitely be strongly resisted.

This is not the point. The point is that the overlord of this forest is a powerful Black Dragon King. The Chenguang army has been attacked by it and suffered heavy losses.

What's more, most of the troops in the Morning Light Kingdom are now deployed to defend against foreign enemies on the border and are no longer able to develop Mystery Forest.

When talking about dragons, Winster showed great interest and even said he wanted to find an opportunity to see it.

Hearing such ridiculous words, Owen twitched his lips and couldn't help but remind him.

[Don't joke, Your Majesty's army failed to successfully attack the Black Dragon King. The small border town was probably going to touch the stone with eggs.]

[Indeed, the overall strength of the Bianjun Town is too weak now, so I can't say it in the future.]

For some reason, after listening to Winster's words, Owen felt a little uneasy.
