You were made to farm, and now you're the emperor of an empire?

Chapter 311 It's not the right time yet.

Mona's magic can control the flow of time within a certain range.

Roman made an inappropriate analogy.

If time is viewed as a kind of particle, with time particles evenly distributed everywhere, Mona can gather or disperse them to achieve the purpose of slowing down or accelerating.

As for the spell's effects, that's up to Mona herself to decide.

Anyway, turning back time is impossible.

Even stopping time is impossible.

Mona's spell limit is that she can only achieve an effect that is infinitely close to stopping time.

Of course, such magic is also very powerful.

Without external interference, she can pause an ordinary person's entire day, while the latter feels as if the next day has passed in the blink of an eye.

The premise is that there aren't that many powerful beings in the world who can rival her.

Those high-ranking knights, legendary creatures, demons and gods, and seated witches can all interfere with the real universe through spirit, will, and energy.

Admittedly, a high-ranking knight would be outnumbered and powerless when faced with the immense power of time magic.

Because when a large number of time particles are drawn away from him or gather around him, if his senses are sharp enough, he can perceive that everything in the world is accelerating, while his own reaction time is more than a step slower.

But a high-ranking knight possesses more than just his own power.

Just like Mona, when casting spells, she also uses auxiliary resources such as sapphires, amber, and crystals to release spells with stronger effects.

The equipment of any high-ranking knight is inseparable from mithril and adamantite.

Those special equipment greatly enhance the weight of high-ranking knights and interfere with the effects of spells.

Mona wasn't the only one feeling overwhelmed by this situation; Margaret felt equally helpless.

How much magic power would it take to shake a paladin clad in full adamantine armor?
Even if you were to burn Mabel with maximum firepower, the paladin could stand motionless in the raging flames for two minutes.

Go ahead and burn it; if you can make me sweat within two minutes, that's a real achievement.

But in that short time, even with Mabel's 50-meter fire range, it would be enough for a paladin to rush up and kill Mabel a hundred times over.

Wearing super armor weighing hundreds of kilograms, yet still able to move swiftly and rapidly—if this isn't a superhuman, what is?
This is also the biggest dilemma faced by many spellcasters.

Because extraordinary spells are most effective when dealing with ordinary things.

Ordinary matters have too little weight and can be easily interfered with.

Mona's weaknesses are obvious.

First, it can only interfere with the flow of time within a certain range; once the coverage area changes, its effect will disappear.

She cast a spell on a carriage, accelerating the flow of time within it. As the carriage left the spell's range, the acceleration effect gradually disappeared, eventually vanishing completely once it was out of range.

If Mona followed the carriage the whole way, constantly speeding up its movements, the exertion would be enormous, because she herself would be in a state of motion.

In other words, she is most effective when casting spells in a sufficiently stable and controllable environment.

Secondly, it cannot be used on large objects; it is best to use an independent unit, the more independent the better, and it is susceptible to interference from external factors.

If Mona casts a spell on one of the gears in the clock.

Because a clock is made up of many interlocking gears, they all ultimately benefit from this acceleration effect. The faster the second hand rotates, the faster the hour hand will move.

If the clock were large enough, she would be quickly drained dry.

It's also easy to be afraid of external interference.

Mona paused the time of an ordinary person.

But what if someone exerts influence on that person during this time? For example, by throwing knives at him or hitting a road roller? What would the effect be?

The answer is that neither throwing knives nor road rollers can hit him. Or rather, the closer they get to him before hitting him, the slower the flow of time becomes, and eventually they all maintain the same flow of time as the time-stopper, but the kinetic energy will not disappear.

Other external factors include rain, sunlight, and air movement—of course, unless there are disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, or avalanches, the influence of other minor natural factors is far less than that of flying knives and road rollers.

Whether the latter can avoid it is his problem.

……

Roman's first thought was to send Mona to help Gweil with breeding.

The land is a fixed environment, and plants have little interaction with the outside world. They only absorb nutrients from a few centimeters of soil, and the seeds have very little weight.

Mona is an excellent breeder.

The area she can cover isn't particularly large; even with full power, she can only cover about ten acres, which isn't sustainable for long.

However, casting a spell on an acre of land is very easy and consumes little energy, allowing the spell to maintain its effect for a long time.

Considering daily life, Mona cannot work 24 hours a day, but she can shorten the rice's growth cycle from April to within two months. If Mona is pushed to her limit, harvesting within 50 days is not a dream.

Two harvests a year?
Nine harvests in two years!

Despite Roman's repeated attempts to persuade Mona to stay—which was unusual for him.

But this did not change Mona's mind that she wanted to leave.

The Azure Moon Battlefield cannot function without protective forces. Mona is only escorting the support witch and has no intention of lingering here.

“The Queen has been very kind to us,” said the Time Witch.

The Witch Forest is not a vassal of Azure Moon, but the two do have some kind of secret and obscure connection.

Before Origin City rose to prominence, Gael systematically eliminated the witches' strongholds, leaving them with no choice but to launch a suicidal attack on the Holy City. After their defeat, the Prophet Witch had no choice but to lead a group of non-combat witches to Azure Moon.

When the Holy See and Sinnoh pressured Azure Moon to hand over all its spellcasters, the Vampire Queen and the King of the Valley acted in unison, mobilizing the entire nation to fight to the bitter end.

The situation in Cangyue is even more perilous than that in Origin City.

With the Iron King blocking Roman's way, the Iron Order was still in effect, preventing him from directly facing the war and giving him enough space to survive.

But Cangyue's army is truly pressing in.

Up to now, the two sides have been fighting for a full year, and the conflict has reached a fever pitch.

"You are Lord Conqueror, Your Highness, and you also have the right to mediate wars, just like the Conqueror of old," said the Time Witch. "The Queen also hopes that you will send troops to relieve the siege of Azure Moon. If so, Azure Moon will never forget the kindness of the Valley King!"

Roman simply said, "It's not the right time yet."

The witch looked bitter.

This is a sentence that sounds so familiar, yet so ironic.

“Come and help me,” Roman said again.

It's late summer now, a good time for planting, especially for rice that's in the flowering and fruiting stage, which is growing rapidly every day.

With the help of the Witch of the Lost Time, his development will be even more rapid.

Although this approach cannot directly change the overall situation.

But so-called advantages are accumulated little by little in this way.

Once the advantage accumulates to a sufficient extent, nothing can stop it.
