I Turned Out To Be The King Behind The Scenes

10. Enlightenment

"Also, if King Valencia knows that he has given the rich land to King Arthur, he will kill them," Jonathan added.

"I guess if he had known, he wouldn't have given the land to King Arthur." Another knight said.

Everyone nodded

"They may take their workers with them, for fear that their secrets will be exposed... If the citizens find out, they will probably fight for some resources so they can sell and buy food for their families." Vergo said.

"Maybe that's the case. After all, since we're in the lower regions, we haven't seen any residents walking around... Since the residents believe that the land is barren, they don't come here anymore. And even if they do come to this area, the mines are very far from their farmland." said Luca.

"Also don't forget that the Entrance and Exit Gates of Arazka City are located in the central region, so no one will come here," added Gerrard. Everyone agrees too.

"I think they burned all the workers when they realized how serious their situation was," Arthur said.

"That would explain all the bloodstains and ashes we found on the four estates... After all, there's no guarantee that the workers will keep their secrets forever. The only way to bury those secrets is to permanently silence the workers." Vergo added.

They had to admit, the City Lord and the Barons put a lot of thought into their plans. They weren't just thinking about the mining as much ore as possible. They even thought that one day they had to leave Arazka City forever.

"I was just thinking about a group of monsters that are similar to lions. If they can escape from the castle area. What will happen to the citizens here?" Altria asked them.

Hearing Altria's question, their backs were already drenched in sweat.

"Sigh... They are so cruel. If they can't have mines, no one else can have mines either." Arthur said coldly.

"We must arrest them, Your Majesty! Order us to pursue them, Your Majesty!" Luca asked Arthur for an order.

"No need, it's already late. You just need to train hard, and prepare for war in two months." Arthur rejects Luca's proposal and gives a new order.

"Yes, My King." The knights answered in unison.

"Come on, I'll check the farmland."

Arthur looked at the huge farmland. This whole place looks like industrial farmland on earth. The air is still very fresh without pollution, the river water is still clear. Arthur felt he had become one with nature.

They saw Arthur still standing on the spot, Acedes want to call Arthur but was stopped by Sebas. Just like Altria when stopped by Luca. Luca then gave a signal for them to slowly move away from Arthur.

"Sebas, what's wrong?" Acedes asked.

"Enlightenment" Sebas replied.

Hearing the word enlightenment they all feel amazed... It can be seen that Arthur's talent is very strong, it can even get Enlightenment suddenly. They were all waiting to see what abilities Arthur had acquired.

"What skills do you think King Arthur will acquire, Sebas?" Luca asked Sebas.

"I don't know! Maybe, a skill related to nature." Sebas answered.

After waiting for two hours, Arthur regained his senses. Seeing his subordinates waiting in the distance. Arthur was a little embarrassed.

"Arthur, what skills have you acquired?" Asked Acedes.

"Natural Elementation Skills," Arthur answered honestly.

"Good ability against commoners. But Arthur you have to be careful when fighting against Qi and Magic experts."

"Hm... I know." Arthur nodded.

After Arthur agreed to Acedes' suggestion. He immediately went to the farmland to inspect the soil. At this time, Arthur saw that there were three farmers on the farm. It can be seen, they just arrived at the farm because their clothes are still clean. When Arthur saw them, they also saw Arthur coming, and they rushed to meet him.

"Have a nice day, My Lord." They said in a voice that sounded scared

"Have a nice day for you guys… Can you tell me about the farmlands in this area? I hope I can help you guys." Arthur returned their greetings and asked with a smile.

"My Lord, may I ask who you are?" The oldest farmer asked Arthur.

Arthur could see that he was the leader of the group, as everyone was hiding behind him while he was talking to Arthur.

"I am the new King of Arazka, King Arthur. This is my butler Sebastian Sebas, my friend Altria, Acedes, Marshal Luca, and the other knights… Please calm down, I just want to help," Arthur said.

They looked at Arthur curiously, this was the first time they had seen or heard a king would help farmers to solve the problem of agricultural land that was considered barren.

"May I know your name?" asked Arthur

"Your Majesty. My name is Patrick, this is Lyon and this is Valdo. We are farmers of Arazka City," Patrick said as he introduced everyone.

Patrick is a strong man, 45 years old, with blond hair and blue eyes. On the other hand, Lyon, 35 years old, has blonde hair with black eyes. And Valdo, 33 years old, has black hair with black eyes.

"Your Majesty, we have been farming on this land for more than 20 years, this land has become a barren land that cannot be planted with crops. The growth of our crops is very slow and our crops also have a very little harvest," said Patrick.

According to his basic knowledge of agriculture, Arthur already knew these types of soil problems and ways to solve these problems. But he still needed to make sure that his guess was right.

"Don't worry, tomorrow I will bring you a solution. We will meet again tomorrow at the same time and place," Arthur replied.

"Yes. Your Majesty"

Even though they agreed, they didn't really have high hopes. Because ever since they were young, they had been told that this land was barren land. After all, they had been farming for their entire lives, while he lived in luxury.

In the past, their parents worked on this farmland. Now, they are also farming on this farmland. If they started to remember, this land had become a barren land. They chose to keep farming even if they knew the land was barren because they loved everything about farming.

It felt like a great accomplishment to see what they planted grow from this land. Although the results were not high, they could feel satisfaction from their hard work.

So when they heard what, Your Majesty, had to say about providing a solution, they were shocked. Of course, they also wanted to see what Arthur called this "Solution".

They decided to wait and see.

Arthur walked away from them. He poured water on the ground and waited. He observed for a moment that the ground was absorbing water rapidly. This is a good sign.

Arthur grabbed a handful of soil and squeezed the soil gently in his hands. The soil feels soft and can still hold its shape for a while.

'So far so good', Arthur thought.

Arthur then picked up 3 handfuls of topsoil from the ground and put the soil into the container, which he found in the castle.
