Chapter 26 - Blank
The next day, Alfonso, Demeter and Artemisa when to the agriculture zone, there, they meet Camel and his family. Artemisa when towards and they began to talk, meanwhile, Demeter when to the ground and put a sad face.
"This land is so pitiful, is dying bit by bit, who was the one who did this!?" Shout Demeter.
"Someone did it? , what do you mean?" Ask Alfonso.
"I mean exactly what I say, someone did this, this land is cursed!" Say Demeter with indignation.
"A curse!?" Shout suddenly Camel.
Alfonso knew about the history of Wasteland Valley, the "one" who cursed this land is the previous god that protected this land. Kurio.
"Our god died fifty years ago, I was just a child when it happened. The land began to turn unfertile, the winter began to turn colder and colder as the years when by, my father used to tell me that this land was a paradise, at least, It was compared to what it is right now" Say Camel with a sad voice.
"Kurio... People say that he was the god of fortune, he could bring luck to everyone he wanted to, that\'s why, he was loved by all the empires, why did he choose these land to protect, nobody knew, however, what everyone knew was that he loved this land too much." Thought Alfonso.
"Today, it will be a day that will mark and after and before in the history of this land...….. Demeter… do it" Say Alfonso.
"Alfonso~ Don\'t forget my tributes later~ " Say Demeter while lifting her hand.
The ground tremble a little.
Alfonso almost felt to the ground, fortunately, Camel grab him just in time.
After a few seconds. Everything when back to normal.
Demeter, with a tired expression sat on the floor and wipe her forehead.
"As always, doing this is tiring~, however, everything is good now~ I lifted the curse Alfonso~ " Say Demeter.
"Good! , thank you so much Demeter" Say Alfonso with a happy smile.
Finally! Finally! He could start his plans for the agriculture zone.
Although the land is now fertile, the weather hasn\'t changed, so we will still do the "beds" Camel, I will give you this bottles, they are 20 of them, use 5 per 1000 square meters, go and tell Ribeiro to take all the seeds we have, if he doesn\'t have enough, then go to Yulip town to buy more, tell him to use all our money, if my calculations are correct, we would have food in 1 month, and also, after he finished, tell him, to meet me at the commoners zone!" Say Alfonso while buying with 2000 Drachmas, 20 tears of Gaia, Demeter told him in the way that this tears could be used as a fertilizer to this land, and it worked at least 20 times better than compost, so the usually six months that it will take to the seeds to germinate, it will only take weeks!
"Yes, my lord!" Say with Camel enthusiast l, he, as an expert farmer, could tell that something was different of the land, he could feel it. So, he didn\'t lose time and went straight to Ribeiro.
After he was gone, Alfonso didn\'t leave, he thought about some other matters.
"I still have 3000 Drachmas….. I will save 1000 just in case, so I will use the other 2000" Thought Alfonso.
"Artemisa" Call Alfonso.
"Hmm? What is it?" Artemisa, who was chatting happily with Zeti, turn around and looked at Alfonso.
"Artemisa, for now on you will be in charge of the hunt team, you will stay here and wait for the five wolves to come, I already talked with Cerberus , they will assist you to hunt food for the people" Say Alfonso.
Artemisa was a little taken back before she made a light smile, after all, as the goddess of hunt, what she loved the most was hunting in the forest!
"Are you going to be alright, Artemisa?" Asked with worry Zeti.
"Don\'t worry, when I come back, I will give you a huge piece of the meat for you and your baby!" Say Artemisa.
Zeti just only smile and resume her talk with Artemisa.
Alfonso made a light smile and went to Demeter\'s side.
"Demeter, can you accompany me for a little bit?" Asked Alfonso.
"Sure~" Demeter didn\'t asked for more and they were to the commoners zone, Alfonso needed the assist of someone to walk even with his cane, his injuries still hurts after all. Demeter, who recovered from the fatigue of using call of nature, when with Alfonso.
"What are we going to do now Alfonso~?" Asked Demeter.
"I still don\'t know anything about the people who lived here, so I wanted to do a population census" Say Alfonso.
Alfonso didn\'t have time to think of anything else before the horde, however, now, the knew that there we still a lot of things to do.
"I don\'t know what a census is~ however, you shouldn\'t walk to much in this state you know~" Say Demeter with worry.
"I know, however, I wont be the one who will do it, It will be Ribeiro, I came here to let him know how exactly he had to do it and there is something else" Say Alfonso
"What is it~?" Say Demeter.
"I wanted to see how the common people live" Say Alfonso while knocking on the first door he encounter.
After some time, a thin woman opens the door, when she opened, he was so surprised that her mouth was so open that an egg could enter.
"Yo-you-your majesty! Wha- wha-wha...." The woman couldn\'t stop her surprise, after all, the one in her door, was the one who everyone in Wasteland Valley was talking about! After the fight with the horde, the soldiers came back and told everyone in the town about it.
"Hello, I came here to have a little chat with you. May I come in?" Say Alfonso with a light smile
