Chapter 183 A Letter From The Royal Family
Keith only had to wait for 15 more days before it was time to harvest his potatoes. He didn't have to do any physical labor as this place could be controlled at will.
All the plants shot out of the ground and the soil that was attached to the potatoes fell back down. All of them were then piled up at the center as Keith decided to ask for his system's help.
"Hey system, give me an accurate calculation of how the plantation went and about the current yield."
[Affirmative. Here is the data:]
Length of Plot's sides = 700m each
Number of rows = 778
Spacing between each row = 0.9m
Number of plants in each row = 1750
Spacing between each plant in a row: 0.4m
Total number of plants = 778 x 1750
Total number of plants = 1,361,500 plants
The plants have grown ideally and have an average output of 4kg per plant.
The final yield is 5,446,000 kilograms of healthy potatoes.
"Okay wow, that's a bit too much...." he muttered as he turned to look at the barrels that he had purchased for the sake of fermentation. But now that he saw the output, he knew that he'd need more.
'Well, it's fine. I can do it in batches.'
The potatoes were peeled and boiled in a large bubble of extremely hot water that floated in front of Keith. Then the potatoes were crushed inside the water and the boiling continued.
This was done to breakdown the starch content in the potatoes and make it easily accessible for fermentation. Once everything was done, Keith then cooled down the mixture and filled up the 10,000 barrels that he had managed to acquire.
Once they were filled, he then poured some yeast infested water that he purchased from breweries nearby. He had been doing this for the past few months so he had more than enough yeast to get the fermentation going.
He then cut off a 30x30m area and began to place the barrels in a pyramid structure to minimize the area occupied. Once done, he checked the limits of time boost for such a small area with the system's help and decided to go for a 7x boost.
'It'll last for 777 minutes huh? That's almost 13 hours, which means that I can keep it going for 18 hours with my natural recovery and stop the boost while I sleep. This way, I can get things going smoothly.'
(Damn, too many numbers in this chapter and this is taking way too long. I'll do the calculations behind the scenes instead of writing here. After all, there aren't many people who are interested in numbers.)
Once he was done with his preparations and the time boost had started, he flew towards his goat farm and saw six men working out with sheer dedication and discipline.
'Playing god really worked, didn't it? All I had to do was promise them a place in heaven and they got to work... yikes' he thought and got six chickens to fly from his small 100m x 100m plot. Enjoy new tales from empire
The group cheered when they saw the chickens as this signified their rest day, but that wouldn't start unless they caught the agile things.
Keith silently watched them chase the chickens for a few minutes until he got bored and then left the place. He opened his eyes slid away from Clara's sleeping form before walking out of the room.
He repeated the routine he had been doing since the past ten days and headed towards the main entrance. Unlike before where he didn't get anything, this time he spotted a small envelope.
'It's finally here.' he thought as he picked it up and tore open the envelope to get to the contents inside.
The letter was small and as he read the contents, he smiled. Once he was done, he stuffed the letter into his pocket and walked back to his room.
'You guys can complain all you want, but she's already gotten the stamp of approval since she's paid the loan. No matter what you do, you guys can't force her into a marriage anymore' he thought.
The money, approved documents and a letter written my Clara herself had been delivered to the protection church that was close to Timothy's estate. While the letter itself was given directly to them after quite a lot of trouble, they would have to go to the church if they wanted the money or documents.
On top of that, the interests would have to stop at the moment as the documents were stamped by the church. Due to this, if they purposefully decide to stall for time, their plans wouldn't work.
With everything important settled, Keith expected no more problems but as luck may have it, he received a letter directed towards him a few weeks later.
The envelope had multiple silver engravings along with a special stamp. He frowned as he glanced at Caleb who had brought him the letter and took it from him.
Amelia who was sitting beside him, spoke "That's the stamp of Kazak royal family... did you mess up with something?"
"I don't think I messed up but I sure am surprised..." he said as he opened the envelope and pulled out a letter before reading it out loud.
Inquisitor Keith Zenister, as the third prince of the Kazak royal family, I would like to invite you to the palace for my youngest sister's coming of age ceremony.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
You and your entire team is invited and I request you to follow the dress code that is written at the back of this letter.
The banquet will be held on February 21st, but I hope that we can have a personal meeting before that. Feel free to ask for me once you reach the capital and I will free up some time for you.
I won't hide my intentions. There have been multiple skirmishes at our borders with Baroma and Morose Kingdoms. I know that you have dedicated yourself to the Church of Protection, but I would be glad if you decide to take our side and help us.
I promise you on the name of the great Kazak family that you will be rewarded handsomely for every contribution.
