The shelter farm on the outskirts of Whigburg has tens of thousands of farmers and is the result of decades of hard work by Archbishop Dimitri. Under the guise of glamor, it has been managed as his private country.
The Archbishop is a celebrity and powerful person in Whigburg and one of the top rulers. He has been able to reach this day by selecting young people with outstanding qualifications from the poor and cultivating them, and if necessary, harvesting their souls and offering them to the succubus.
Compared to the total number, only a few were harvested, and they did not cause any trouble for decades. The miserable poor people were attached to Dimitri, loyal to him and grateful. Only these direct descendants could he use with confidence.
The farm occupies a large area and has a large number of simple and low wooden houses built inside. Under the rule of the Archbishop, these houses have a simple unified plan. There are some gravel in front and behind the house, but it is not a dirt road at least.
Although after decades of management by Dimitri, these farm houses are not very good places to live, and the poor people living on the farms are still miserable. But for them, being able to live here is a great blessing.
Because of this, most of the poor people on the farm are very loyal. Although they have low abilities, they can help Dimitri complete many things that are inconvenient for him to do in person. Because they never think about why, they follow the archbishop blindly.
If outsiders try to spy on the farm, no matter how hard they hide it, it will be useless. Naturally, there are some methods taught by the succubus, but more importantly, the farmers here are very vigilant and even xenophobic.
As a servant of the succubus, Dimitri is not without enemies, but also has a lot of shameful things. All these secrets are kept in the farm.
For example, raising insects is too shocking. In a world like another world where ghosts and gods appear, it can easily be smeared as an evil act by those who are interested. No matter how prestigious Dimitri is, he would not dare to do it openly, so naturally he would be placed here.
Suburban farm.
Raising bugs is not an easy task. Just feeding the bugs is an insurmountable difficulty. Zhou Qingfeng has Professor Zheng to rely on in the real world, and he has found a way to get started.
In the real world, there is a large amount of cheap but nutritious kitchen waste as feed, and the breeding of economic insects has been industrialized and scaled up. Whether it is raising maggots, earthworms, or cockroaches, it is completely feasible.
But in a foreign world where food is extremely scarce, what is "food waste"? The hungry poor will just eat dirt, and there will never be any kitchen waste.
If there isn’t even kitchen waste, what can we use as feed?
Professor Zheng is engaged in urban planning and garbage disposal, and he also knows some ecological breeding and recycling agricultural technologies. No matter how you design it under extremely difficult conditions, you cannot avoid the starting point of the ecological chain - excrement.
Under the system of gods, all intelligent creatures in other worlds regard feces as filthy and avoid it. With the development of civilization for tens of thousands of years, no one has thought about how to use it effectively.
Whigburg has a population of more than 100,000, and a large amount of feces needs to be disposed of every day. There are special untouchables who do this job that is discriminated against. They wear special signs and can only go out to work in the morning and evening to avoid being seen by nobles and commoners.
Archbishop Dimitri secretly recruited this group of people and transported the almost endless feces in the city to his receiving farm. These filth will be accumulated, matured, and used as the base material for raising insects.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't know what kind of bugs to raise, but Dimitri already had the answer - earthworms were the best.
Maggots will emerge, cockroaches will crawl around, and earthworms will stay in the culture medium without much manual intervention. The culture medium in which earthworms are raised is still a good organic fertilizer, which has a huge effect on increasing farmland production.
.
Earthworms are scavengers. During the breeding process, organic matter such as straw, leaves, vegetable leaves, and rotten fruits can be added to the culture medium and mixed with feces. It can be said that as long as it is non-toxic and harmless, it will eat anything, and it is particularly easy to take care of.
Among the spells given by the God of Morning Light, some can greatly promote the growth of animals and plants. In order to satisfy the succubus's request, Dimitri would come to the secret breeding farm on the farm every day to cast a spell on the bugs - 'All Things Care'.
This technique is usually used on noble children, or as a reward for civilian families with positive beliefs. Human beings who receive this technique can develop better, grow taller, taller, and smarter.
No one has ever used this technique on bugs - if Lathander knew this, he would probably rush out of the Divine Kingdom's 'Temple of Nature' in anger and beat Dimitri deep into the heart of the earth.
This magic is not very advanced. It can only work on one human at a time, and the results will not be seen until many years later. But probably the bugs are too low-level. Every time Dimitri casts the spell, all the bugs in the whole house are affected.
.
The bugs that receive the magic will eat as hard as they can and grow. A few days will feel like they have grown for months. The number of bugs will explode within a few days. This made Dimitri quickly give up maggots and cockroaches and focus on
To raise earthworms.
As a result, farmers in hidden farms are extremely busy. They are transporting manure, cleaning culture media, and harvesting earthworms for subsequent processing every day.
Although no one knows what the Archbishop wants to do, the farmers are still busy and feel that raising earthworms seems to be a promising thing - after all, poor people are not picky.
A city with a population of more than 100,000 produces a huge amount of feces every day. No one cares about these filthy things that have nowhere to dump them, but now they have become treasures.
After effective utilization, Dimitri's shelter farm has a large amount of organic fertilizer, and the warehouse is filled with dried earthworms. Some people even tasted it secretly when they were hungry - it definitely didn't taste good, but
Can fill the stomach.
This is a great blessing!
The Archbishop endured the stench and entered the culture room. He frowned and looked at the earthworms writhing and tumbling in the fecal culture medium, and quickly turned away. Unlike Zhou Qingfeng, who could not endure this, he was extremely repelled in his heart.
"How many dried earthworms are there in the warehouse now?" Dimitri called the manager of the secret farm and asked a few questions.
"My merciful Archbishop, with the blessing of your magic, these earthworms grow very fast. We have tried our best to harvest, but there are more and more of them. Currently, there are thousands of pounds piled in the warehouse, and we will have to turn over them in the next few days.
times."
The supervisor of the farm bent down and gave a detailed report. Dimitri soon realized that from a work point of view, he had done a very good job raising earthworms - compared to the north where he could not even see the sun, he
The production conditions are much better.
Dimitri quickly reported the current situation to the succubus of the abyss, and Medeisi asked him to ship the production inventory immediately.
When all the dried earthworms in the wooden box disappeared, His Excellency the Archbishop finally couldn't help but ask... "Dear Master Medeis, may I venture to ask what you need these earthworms for?"
?”
This question had been hidden in Dimitri's mind for a long time, and he was unhappy even if he didn't ask. The succubus had just received the payment from Zhou Qingfeng with soul crystals, and was in the right mood to answer half a sentence, "Someone is going crazy with hunger.
Use this garbage as food."
What?! Someone actually wants to eat these disgusting bugs fed with feces. What kind of evil behavior is this? Unheard of!
Dimitri felt that he didn't even want to touch these dried earthworms. He always thought that they were materials for some evil ritual, or necessary for some large-scale witchcraft. He really didn't expect that anyone would use them as food.
It's terrible. What's the difference between this and eating shit directly?
When the distinguished archbishop made such an evaluation in a low voice, the always aloof succubus also agreed: "Yes, I think so too. But..., if you meet the guy who buys earthworms in the future, you will finally
Be very careful."
This was the first time that Medeis revealed the person she was trading with across the abyss. Dimitri pricked up his ears and asked cautiously: "The guy who bought the earthworm fuck...is he really good?"
The succubus cursed bitterly: "On the contrary, in my eyes, that boy is very weak. But he even dares to investigate the secrets between gods and demons. He is too courageous."
