BXBX NOVEL Chapter 11 - Camel
After they managed to get into the manor, Alfonso sit tiredly in his throne.
"I am really not fit to these things" Said Alfonso.
He was tired. He was, after all, just a historian from modern earth. Being all highly and mighty is not easy, especially since those cold eyes of those soldiers were really scary.
"But this is all for the sake to live" Thought Alfonso.
Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, he felt a pair of cold eyes looking at him.
"Alfonso, you have a huge pair of balls! To actually stomp this goddess feet!" said Artemis while walking straight to Alfonso.
"Artemis, you know why I did that, I couldn\'t let you injure Deferio, without him, this town will not survive!" Said Alfonso with black lines on his forehead.
"Hmph!" Said Artemis, however, she didn\'t anything and just stay still there.
After some awkward silence, Ribeiro walked up, he was surprising of seeing this guy in white suit.
"Who is this guy?" Thought Ribeiro.
Alfonso, notice this and make a gesture to Ribeiro to sit up.
"Ribeiro, this is Artemis, he is a fellow friend of mine, he will stay here for some time" Said Alfonso without giving more explanations.
Ribeiro was a little taken especially because this guy, Artemis, didn\'t leave after he and Alfonso began talking about the future plans of Wasteland Valley.
"Ribeiro, how many people work in the agriculture zone?" Asked Alfonso.
"10 families my lord" Said Ribeiro
"Very well then, I need you to find the more experience person there and bring him to me"
Said Alfonso.
"? My lord has something in mind?" Asked Ribeiro without thinking.
"That\'s right, I have a plan, but this is a long-plan term, I have some things to discuss with an expert, go, don\'t waste time." Said Alfonso.
"Understood, my lord" Said Ribeiro, he was really confused by this, his lord wasn\'t known as someone who will be able to make "a plan" .
"What is he thinking?" thought Ribeiro while going to the agriculture zone.
After he was gone, he began to read the agriculture book. He needed to be sure that his plan was suitable, what he needed the most was information, with his studies, he had a roughly idea of what to do, however, this book had additional information that was needed.
Artemis looked at Alfonso for something, she got bored and went to the window to talk to the birds that came to the window like they were called. After one hour, Ribeiro came in, but he wasn\'t alone, he came with a man that was at least 50 years, he had a big belly and brown bear.
.......................
Camel was an old farmer that has lived all his life in Wasteland Valley, his wife died 5 years ago, and he dedicated all his life to be a good father for his three daughters. His father was a farmer so as he, he didn\'t know how to do something else, however, he was the best in what he did, he actually could put food on his table, something that few people could do with the infertile land of Wasteland Valley. Winter was a harsh season for the family of camel, the few foods that they have become even less, this winter, was especially hard, so Camel was having a headache thinking how to, at least, give his daughters food. While he was pondering in his chair, someone told him that the lord of wasteland valley wanted to meet him, this surprising him a lot, he was a just common farmer, what the lord wants for him.
"Maybe he become interested in one of his daughters?" thought Camel.
His daughters weren\'t ugly, in fact, there were quite pretty, no one could think that a big belly man like him could have such pretty daughters! , with this thought, Camel became exited, Camel knew who his lord was, he was an ex prince, this prince was known a failure, despite this, nobody could say that this lord was a playboy, so Camel hoped that the prince could take one of his daughters, maybe then, his daughters would have a better live.
After arriving at the manor, he became nervous, his home was made from wood and was very small.
"This manor is huge!" thought Camel
After arriving in the hall, he saw a young man with blonde hair and purple eyes, he had a gentle smile, he was sitting in his throne with a cane between his hands, at his side was a young man with short hair and a white outfit.
He was a little surprising, he thought that the prince was someone more... imposing? However, these young could produce a sense of calm and his nerves went away.
"Your servant, Camel, is here as your command, my lord" Said Camel while bowing.
"Hello Camel, my name is Alfonso Lockheart, as you know, I am the new lord of this land, please have sit, I have some things to discuss with you" Said Alfonso while making a gesture to Camel to sit down. Camel sat down opposite to Alfonso and then waited for Alfonso to talk.
"I heard that you are the best farmer in this land, it\'s that true?" Said Alfonso with his usual smile.
"Well I have been doing this for more than 40 years, I know a thing or two" Said Camel
"Very well then, I have something in mind, I would like your opinion, your SINCERE opinion" Said Alfonso while emphasizing in the word sincere.
Camel was a taken back, he didn\'t want to talk about his daughters?
"As you know, people think that this land is a dead land, in part, that is because of its infertility, this has been a problem for a long time, so I made a plan, a plan to revive this infertile land!" Said Alfonso
Camel couldn\'t believe what he had heard, his lord wanted to revive this land!? But that\'s impossible! With the course of the years, a lot of people had tried this however, the only conclusion was that this land was unsalable, at most it could grow a few types of vegetables and even then, the amount of this was minimal.
"I can see in that you don\'t believe me, however, that\'s okay, I want you to hear me first, I will explain a method to "simulate" a fertile ground, this plan is a long-term plan, please give me your opinion"
After Saying that, Alfonso began to explain his plan, if we have to put it in simple words, it was to use the dry wood to use as artificial bed and then use compost or other organic materials and put them on the bed leaving small holes finally one put the small branches to cover everything, after that you put some earth and finally cover everything with straw.
When camel here these methods been to process in his mind, after some time, he had only one question in his mind.
"My lord, this servant has only one question, what is compost?" Asked Camel.
Alfonso wasn\'t surprise that he Asked this question because the term compost wasn\'t used, on earth, until the last century. So he calmly explained.
"Compost is procedure that used several organic materials, for example, stool , and then with several steps, one could convert them in nutrients that improves the earth." Said Alfonso.
After hearing what Alfonso Said, everyone in the hall, including Artemis were stunned.
They only had one thought.
"USING STOOL!? WHAT THE FUCK!"
