Chapter 854: Chapter 851 Back to Earth

Inside Sedona Castle, Lucas stood on the balcony, looking at the bustling streets not far away in the city. A light breeze blew by, swaying the black hair on his forehead.

"The weather is starting to cool down," Lucas said, seemingly to himself, but also as if he were speaking to the cat-eared girl.

"Autumn has arrived," Mina said softly, perching her plump bottom on the windowsill and looking at Lucas’s eyes.

"Yeah, autumn is here, and the time for harvest is almost upon us." Lucas reached out and pinched the cat-eared girl’s cheek, sighing with emotion.

He remembered the scene when he first arrived in this world. Autumn was here.

"By the way, did you have people transport the cement over to the basin?" Lucas asked with a face full of smiles.

"I had people send it over yesterday. They’ve probably already started construction on the greenhouses today," Mina nodded.

Two days ago, Lucas and Mina had gone to inspect that basin. It was indeed very suitable for building vegetable greenhouses. A basin surrounded by mountains on three sides only required guarding the entrance to be well-hidden, and the soil was extremely fertile.

After returning, Lucas immediately sent people over to set up camp and selected workers to build the greenhouse frames.

"Mm, if there aren’t enough hands, just add more. Get it done before winter," Lucas said softly. He felt very assured when Mina handled things. Now, all they had to do was wait for the greenhouse frames to be built, then transport the glass over to install it, and the vegetable greenhouses would be complete.

"Yes," Mina responded.

"Dahlia should be back," Lucas calculated some plans in his heart. Iron ore was incredibly important.

Currently, various projects in the city are underway. As for the projects outside the city, the main road leading to Liberty City was already one-fifth complete. Before winter arrives, they should be able to pave about one-third of the road to Liberty City.

There was also the construction of the new castle, which was just beginning to lay bricks. As for the interior decoration, that would probably have to wait until next year.

Aside from that, Sedona City’s landmark building—which was also the tallest building in the world—had already reached five stories.

The planning for the new city wall had also been put on the agenda, and the trenches were already being dug. They were just waiting for Dahlia and her group to bring the iron ore back to start building the new walls.

"By the time our wheat and rice are almost ready to be harvested, Dahlia should be about here," Mina said, swishing her cat tail.

"Let’s go take a look at the grain fields." Lucas patted the cat-eared girl’s ass and turned to leave first.

"Master..." Mina scolded with a blushing face, jumping down from the windowsill and reaching the bottom before Lucas.

Step step step...

Lucas and Mina got into the carriage heading outside the city, with the war wolves squad guarding both sides.

Twenty minutes later, the carriage crossed the pontoon bridge, traveled for a few more minutes, and arrived at the grain fields.

"My Lord, we have arrived at the grain fields," Chris said respectfully.

Creak...

The carriage door opened, and Lucas led Mina out. Surrounded by the war wolves, they approached the edge of the grain fields.

Many citizens were already there, harvesting the green vegetables planted a month ago.

"The city lord is here!" someone noticed Lucas and shouted excitedly.

"The city lord has worked hard, even coming to inspect."

"Thanks to Lord Lucas, there are no horse bandits this year, and even the taxes have been reduced so much."

"..."

These citizens truly believed in Lucas now, holding genuine respect and admiration for him from the bottom of their hearts.

Lucas smiled as he listened to the citizens’ praises, waving at them with a smile before walking forward along the path through the grain fields.

"The Master is very popular with the citizens," Mina covered her mouth and chuckled softly, a teasing look in her eyes.

"..." Lucas smiled without speaking.

"Call the person in charge of managing the grain fields over," Lucas instructed Chris.

"Yes." Chris nodded, turning to run towards the grain fields. Ten minutes later, he returned with a man over fifty years old.

"City lord," The manager excitedly bowed upon seeing Lucas.

"Have them apply fertilizer here one more time; it will be ready to harvest in a few days," Lucas said, pointing at the cabbage patch in front of him.

The fertilizer Lucas referred to was made from cow and sheep manure, which was very helpful for the growth of these crops. Moreover, these fertilizers were transported all the way from the Sahara. He even planned to open a fertilizer factory on the Sahara.

"Yes," The manager said respectfully, taking out a notepad and writing it down.

"For these leeks, tell them to leave a stub when they cut them. In a month, they can be harvested again."

"And over here..."

Lucas walked forward with the manager, explaining various points of attention before letting him leave.

Some crops, like leeks, Lucas had just brought over from Earth not long ago.

Lucas and Mina stayed at the grain fields for the entire afternoon, only taking the carriage back to the castle at dusk, arriving just in time for dinner.

Dinner concluded in the usual playful scrambling for food. Lucas watched the scene, the smile at the corners of his mouth growing gentler.

"I’m full, I’ll head back to my room first," Lucas turned his head and whispered to Mina and Nicole.

When he needed to stay on Earth for a longer period, he would tell the two in advance and cross back to Earth early. Otherwise, he normally wouldn’t cross back until around eleven at night just to grab some things and return immediately.

"Yes," The two hurriedly nodded, knowing what the Master’s words meant. Tonight, the Master was going to the secret room again.

"I’m leaving first," Lucas stood up and told everyone, then left the dining room and headed for his bedroom. Mina followed behind, intending to guard the door.

"Alright, Master."

"Alright, My Lord."

The beast-eared girls all called out their greetings and then began clearing the table; they were going to play cards later.

Step step step...

In the hallway, Lucas turned to Mina, who was following behind, "Go play cards with Annie and the others. It’s fine here."

"I’ll go later," Mina smiled brightly at Lucas but didn’t leave.

"Go back to your room and sleep if you’re tired." Lucas didn’t try to persuade her anymore. He kissed Mina on the forehead and stepped into his room.

Mina’s cheeks flushed. She stood in front of Lucas’s door, staring blankly into the distance, who knew what she was thinking about.

Inside the room, Lucas scanned the surroundings before storing all the Kryptonite rough stones in the corner into his inventory, then stepped into the secret room.

After a series of unlocking procedures, he entered the secret room. The bookshelves inside were already packed with over thousands of books. He had transported all of them from Earth; these were the foundation for developing the other world.

Thinking about it, all these books had to be translated.

"Phew..." Lucas sighed. This trip back to Earth, this world language he had commissioned from some company was finally ready, so he was going to download it and test it out.

Swish!

With a single thought, Lucas vanished from the secret room and returned to Earth, appearing inside the courtyard he had bought, still in the basement of the house.

He first carefully checked his surroundings, then used his spider sense to test the area. Seeing no changes, he went to the basement door and saw that the apple hanging from the door lock was still there. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Phew... what should I bring this time?" Lucas muttered softly to himself.
