Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 193: Chapter 122: Pioneering a Brand-New Path

Now, after acquiring the Spring of Life ability, he finally gained a recovery effect, and it’s a passive effect!

Standing on the earth, he could clearly feel a continuous stream of life energy entering his body.

This feeling was like he had transformed into a great tree, continuously absorbing the nutrients contained within the earth.

Originally, after his cultivation with Ye Zi, his physical strength was quite depleted.

But now, with the recovery effect of the Spring of Life, his physical strength was constantly being restored.

This made his eyes light up again, as this recovery effect seemed to be useful even in his usual cultivation!

As long as he had enough time, he could greatly shorten his recovery period, allowing for more cultivation time.

Just like now, his cultivation time was basically divided into three periods: morning, noon, and night, and sometimes even overnight, with a very full schedule.

If the Spring of Life ability was strong enough, he might have an additional early morning cultivation session.

Thinking of this, he began to familiarize himself with the Spring of Life ability, intending to develop it quickly and make it his sustainability divine artifact!

....

Thus.

Time passed little by little.

As time went on, the Harvest Moon drew nearer.

With the help of organic fertilizer and the witch Ye Zi, there was no doubt Frost Wolf Ridge would welcome another bountiful harvest.

Especially with Ye Zi’s maturing effect on plants.

When these crops matured, Ye Zi further utilized her ability to increase the yield of the crops.

This made the yield of each crop far exceed the usual!

Under the scorching sun, the Gray Wolf Knight rode the Gray Wolf King along the riverbank, inspecting the growth of the wheat ears.

After half a year of reclamation.

The once barren land had now been transformed into farmland.

From the growth of this wheat, it was clear that these once barren lands would yield no less harvest than usual.

And those originally fertile farmlands had even more astounding yields.

Every stalk of wheat was heavy with grain, bending the whole stalk under its weight.

At a glance, the boundless wheat fields resembled a golden ocean, with ears of wheat thick and full.

This was something he had never seen or heard of in his past experiences.

This made him suspect that perhaps the witches in the castle had done something to cause such a mutation in the wheat.

Apart from the witches, he couldn’t think of any other explanation.

Changes like this had happened many times, for instance, a large number of well-cut stones appeared in the quarry.

In a short period, many changes had occurred in Frost Wolf Ridge Town.

However, upon seeing Young Master David reach Tier Six so quickly with the witches’ help, he felt there was nothing left to surprise him.

At this time, a large number of peasants were working in the fields.

As long as they worked hard in farming, they had the opportunity to be promoted to free people, as promised by the Lord,

Once they became free people, they could move into the town center, have their own brick houses, and also gain the right to receive elementary education.

The Gray Wolf Knight did not know what the Lord was thinking.

But after these policies were issued, the atmosphere in the entire Frost Wolf Ridge seemed to suddenly change.

The previously lifeless peasants now had smiles on their faces, clearly feeling hopeful about life.

Inside the City Hall.

David and Reina were handling government affairs.

It was harvest time, and David had to take some time to manage the affairs of the territory.

However, with Ye Zi’s ability, this year was undoubtedly a year of abundance.

"How is the preparation of the education campaign going?" David asked.

Reina raised her head and replied, "The school is already built, and I’ve already selected literate teachers."

"Well done."

David nodded with satisfaction.

In his past life, he was a teacher, so he had a close affinity with schools and teachers.

For this, he spared some time to formulate the school’s rules and create the textbook needed for literacy.

"Lord Duke, are you really planning to make all commoners literate?" Reina asked in confusion.

The Lord Duke actually wanted those peasants to be promoted to free people.

She had already calculated that under the current system in Frost Wolf Ridge, three-quarters of peasants would be promoted to free people.

But Reina found it difficult to assess the benefits of doing this, compared to free people, peasants were certainly easier to control and more reassuring to use.

Besides, educating these free people was something the kingdoms had never done before, as it made educated commoners harder to control.

"Why not?"

"Education can enlighten the people, it’s the best way to combat ignorance, and my ultimate enemy is not the Silver Moon Kingdom, but the Church."

"Besides, since we’re building a kingdom for wizards, we must cultivate more wizards."

"We can start with the basics, and I’ll find ways to gradually guide these commoners to pursue science and truth."

David slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

Science and wizards, in some ways, both seek the truth. He felt he could initially use basic scientific knowledge as a guide to gradually lure these commoners onto the path of becoming wizards, thereby cultivating more wizards.

Although spreading basic education would increase fiscal expenditure, from a long-term perspective, it was definitely something with no disadvantages.

After hearing this, Reina’s gaze slightly flickered, immediately understanding the Lord Duke’s intentions, she realized the benefits of such an approach, showing a look of surprise on her face.
