Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

"Nathan!" Flora and Noelle slammed open the door and rushed inside.

"…" Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads toward them with an astounded expression. Even Charlotte, who was contemplating the matter, couldn't help but raise her head.

"…" Flora and Noelle froze on the spot when they noticed Vivian inside.

Charlotte turned to Nathan as if she was asking whether it was fine to just say it when these two were here. After all, they just barged in, which made them look like a stranger.

Nathan just nodded his head.

"I see. In that case, I don't think it's possible to have a functioning farmland. There are three things you need to monitor when farming.

"The first will be the sunlight. To put it simply, the plants grow by absorbing the sunlight. If there is no sunlight coming, it's going to be impossible to grow unless they are plants that can grow without it.

"The second thing you need to worry about is the temperature. If they're not important, the plants that will grow in the mountain with lower temperature will be the same as the ones in the desert. Of course, humidity, water supply, and the like are important, but yeah…

"Last but not least, the soil, specifically the degradation. The plants are absorbing the organic materials from the soil. Even if we can use magic to forcefully grow them, they will still take the nutrients from the soil, which will cause the degradation. Without refilling it, it will collapse. That's why we usually use pigs or other animals to fertilize the soil with their poop.

"In addition, you have to worry about the ash. The plants can't survive if they're buried underneath the ash. Hence, my conclusion is that there's no way for you to grow food in this scenario."

Nathan's expression turned grim.

"What… are you talking about?" Flora blinked a few times. "Are you trying to grow food?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Selena. Fill them up." Nathan didn't bother to explain. He then turned back to Charlotte. "Does that mean we can only hunt animals? I bet that animals are going to die because of this condition as well. This will end up becoming a global extinction event."

Vivian nodded. "Yes. How about using the ash itself? Isn't it rich in minerals?"

Charlotte fell into deep thought. "In that case, we can probably do it. As long as there is someone who is able to control the soil, making sure it stays fresh, it's possible.

"However, I know refilling the soil takes time. Hence, we need a few batches of soil and use them in rotation.

"As for the ash problem, we can create a large barrier. They don't have to be strong. As long as they are able to stop the falling ash, that's enough.

"The temperature is a problem. Maybe you know someone who can maintain the temperature of an entire place? Or is there any invention with such a thing?"

Vivian closed her eyes, trying hard to recall all her acquaintances. "Ah."

"You have?"

"Yes… But…" Vivian scratched the back of her head.

"I don't care about your personal relationship in this matter. Since the world is going to be destroyed and hundreds of millions of people are going to die, who cares about it?"

"Who is it, Master?" Nathan asked.

"Melissa. Or more like her mentor. Even though her mentor had passed away, she should inherit the blueprints."

Nathan nodded in agreement. "Should I go there?"

"No. You stay here. I will handle Melissa." Vivian sighed. "Suppose we can control the temperature. What are we going to do with the first problem?"

Nathan raised his hand. "How about an artificial sun?"

"Jinwu?" Vivian looked surprised. "Now that I think about it, his power is related to the sun…"

"Yes."

Charlotte thought for a moment. "I can't give a definite answer. All I can say is that we need to try it directly."

"What? All those people will die?" Flora was taken aback and blurted out loud after hearing everything from Selena.

Nathan sighed and chose to ignore her. He asked, "Is it possible to produce a lot of food?"

"Maybe? Well, the first thing you need to worry about is not the production. Even with this plan, it's enough to feed a city. However, it doesn't seem you only want a single city to remain standing, right?"

"Yes." Read the latest on empire

"And that's the problem. Even if we manage to gain a lot of food, it's going to be hard to feed a lot of people, especially daily. In addition, we can't really give this method to them because they might not have the 'artificial sun' to produce the crops.

"Still, with some miracles, we are able to produce a lot of food. We will encounter the next problem, which is logistics. How are you going to supply them? Are you going there personally? You will lose a lot of time. In addition, the aliens will most likely advance.

"The only way is to use the teleportation circle, but I don't think it's enough. For example, the moment the ash cloud spreads and the famine begins, the people will be raising their weapons to get some food.

"Cannibalism is another possibility. Once that happens, maintaining a clean teleportation portal is the last thing on their mind.

"Even if they are still active, the people might just dump all their ash through the teleportation circle, so I don't think they want to have them remain active.

"You can do this for free, but in the end, people will take it for granted and not do anything. They eat while in despair, waiting for their own death.

"In addition, merchants or even nobles will take advantage of what you got to fatten themselves. Not all of them are like that, but there will be an increase in their number because their true nature will surface due to the situation.

"Hence, we need to think about it carefully," Charlotte explained with a troubled face.

"We can wait for the logistics. The first thing we need to do is to make sure we can produce the food. Anything else can be considered in another way. The only problem is we don't have the land to experiment on." Nathan shook his head.

"True. We can't assume anything if we don't even have the food in the first place." Vivian sighed. Selena was a noble, but she didn't have the land they wanted. Both Sera and Alavenya also didn't have one currently.

Flora suddenly opened her mouth. "Ehm… If you need land, I might have a way to get it for you."
