531 Modifying Merrimack River
Each group of seeds were stored inside a stack of black small pieces of clothes. I took the seeds of different plants and sorted them out from the start.
“These are the seeds, distribute one stache for one farmer. Tell them once I give the signal, they will spread the seeds around. They can use whatever planting technique they know of, but make sure to plant all the amount.
The staches looked small, but I knew each contained at least a thousand seeds. That meant each farmer could plant a thousand plants in the space he controlled.
Of course planting such a large number wasn’t good. But I knew not all were going to grow up. Also I wanted to select the best growing plants out of all, and unearth the weak or failed ones.
Out of each thousand seeds, if I got ten in the end, I’d be satisfied.
“Start working now,” it seemed the boys down below hesitated to move. Each time they did, I stopped them. So I had to give them the order before watching them work.
“Is this… Going to work?” from my side, Hilary asked in doubt.
“Let’s first go to that river… Do you know where it runs?” I didn’t answer again the same question she kept asking many times in different ways.
“The Merrimack river?”
“What else?” I rolled my eyes, “do you know where it lies?”
“Just… Go there,” she selected a direction and I started flying fast towards it. During this, I looked for once at the ground, seeing Angelica and her people working as fast as they could.
“Are they going to be alright?”
“I just gave a few orders, nothing more,” I knew she was referring to the fact that no one here knew what I was doing.
But I didn’t have to explain myself. Soon enough, everyone would get to see what all this was for.
If they were going to experience the magic, why would I spoil it?
After flying for almost half an hour, and after we crossed over the last group of humans, I saw the river I was looking for.
It was moving in a curved path, moving so wide and far, extending from south all the way to north.
It was a nice river, a nice start.
“What are you going to do with it? Spill that weird red liquid over it?”
“Impressive! You guessed it right!” I knew she said it in just a mocking way, but she guessed it right. I was just going to do exactly as she said.
“Really?” she raised both eyebrows, and I didn’t say more.
In a minute or two, she would see everything with her own eyes.
But throwing my precious liquid just like that wasn’t going to work. I had to use a thing first.
“This…”
I took out two giant spears, looking like the spears I got out before but they were ten times larger. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
I held the two with my right arm like they were nothing, threw the two in the air before moving my chariot fast after them.
My simple throw was enough to send these two big spears flying for half a mile, one to each direction.
“Wait here,” I held my rope and instantly jumped off. As I was in air, I turned around, grabbed that spear near me, and slammed it fiercely towards the river waters.
*Splash!*
It got pierced through the ground without any resistance from the running river water. It just caused a small disturbance, but not that much.
“Next one,” my chariot flashed fast and with the rope, my body got dragged fast towards the opposite side.
It… Was fun to do that!
“These are… For what?!” As I did the same with the second spear, I returned to the chariot again and Hilary welcomed me with such a puzzled question.
“You will see now,” I moved to the area in between the two spears, took another pearl like before and let it fall in the centre. Then I took one liquor out and started dropping the thick red liquid.
This time I didn’t empty the liquor, only let a small part fall for twenty seconds and then took it back inside my inventory.
*Buzz!*
And just as I did it, the water of the river started to churn. The reaction this time was much fiercer and faster than before.
That was for a reason. The pearl landed in water, so it had a medium to work with. Also the two spears acted as energy channel systems, accelerating this process.
I wasn’t aiming at this when I used them. I just wanted the two to work as two mighty walls to prevent the energy from dissipating to the entire river.
Also I wanted them to work like antena, spreading the energy to other spears I left behind.
But such an unexpected result wasn’t bad. I stood over the chariot, watching the pure river water turning all red, like a dye was thrown there or something.
“Is this… Normal?!!” Hilary was taken aback with all the bubbles appealing in this part of the river.
She didn’t have time to inspect the bottom of the basin back then. If so, she wouldn’t be this surprised.
“It’s fine,” I simply said, while watching the changes here.
She didn’t see it as she didn’t know what to look at, but I saw the ground near the river to slightly get a faint red lustre to it. The soil around the river was getting affected, and this was something great.
This all happened just in the first few minutes after using my way. If this was left for a few months, then the entire zone around would show big changes.
But I didn’t want to waste months like this. I decided to go to the second river and start the changes there. I had to wait for a long time before expanding my planting area. So it would work better this way.
From time to time, I had to check over the distance where my farmers were. From the general look of it, they listened to my orders and started replacing their weapons with farming tools that I brought.
