You, a dragon, are farming in hell

"Return to the capital? Return to the capital! I abandoned my pride and status as a princess and did everything in my power to steal two sacks of dragon dung to improve the land in the north. Now you want me to return to the capital? Impossible!"

Absolutely not! Next time I return to the capital, I won't be a princess, I'll be a queen!

Sophia got up, opened the wardrobe and changed into a clean and neat tracksuit. She said to Anna, "Anna, have someone inform Minister Connor to come to the castle to see me."

"Yes or no..."

Anna wanted to talk to Sophia about stealing dragon dung, but seeing Sophia get dressed and rush out of the bedroom, she had to suppress the thought for the time being and quickly followed Sophia downstairs.

Upon reaching the first floor, she sent someone to inform the Minister of Agriculture, Connor, to come to the castle to see Princess Sophia, while she herself went into the dining room.

Sophia ate a few pieces of bread, drank a glass of milk, and then took out a tree root from her spatial dragon scales and ate a bite. She immediately felt much better.

After breakfast, Sofia went to the garden to wait for Agriculture Minister Connor.

Even though it was only one night, she felt like she had been in hell for a very, very long time.

She used to wear a sun hat when she sunbathed because she was afraid of getting a tan, but now... she doesn't like wearing sun hats.

Because the sun hat was blocking her from sunbathing.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Agriculture Minister Connor appeared in the garden. Upon seeing Sophia, he placed his right hand on his chest and bowed to her. "Your Highness, is there something you need from me?"

"Great news!"

The Soul Ring flashed, and two sacks of dragon dung appeared before Connor.

Connor stared at the two burlap sacks, each more than half his height, with a look of confusion on his face. "Your Highness, what are these...?"

"My gift to the North: dragon dung."

Chapter 21 Buying Things to Please the Dragon in My Dream

Dragon...dragon dung?!

Agriculture Minister Connor's dark face showed surprise, but he was also a little excited. If the two sacks, each more than half a person tall, were indeed filled with dragon dung, then for the North, they would be as valuable as gold!

No, its value far exceeds that of gold!

There's a question: there are no dragons in the North, so where did Princess Sophia get the dragon dung?

Could it be dragon droppings?

There are no giant dragons in the North, but there are dragon beasts. Dragon beast droppings are better than pig, cow, or chicken droppings, and they are quite effective at nourishing the land.

A small portion of the church uses fertilizer made from fermented dragon manure.

Strange, fertilizer made from fermented feces should have a strong odor, even if it's put in a sack, it should still have a pungent smell.

However, the two sacks of dragon dung in front of us did not have that pungent odor.

Connor stepped forward, walked to the sack, looked at Sophia, and asked suspiciously, "Your Highness, are you sure this contains dragon dung?"

"Why don't you open it and see? I scooped all of these in myself, one scoop at a time."

"?"

Princess Sophia personally packed the fermented dragon dung into sacks?

Born into royalty, and still a fair-skinned little girl, how could she do such dirty work?

Connor suppressed his doubts and untied the string on the burlap sack in front of him. A faint, strange smell wafted out of the sack.

It smells a bit stinky, but also a bit fragrant.

There is also a fresh scent of flowers and plants.

It's a hard-to-describe smell, but it's not unpleasant.

He opened the sack and saw soft, dark red soil mixed with some small plant debris.

Connor grabbed a handful of soil, first smelled it under his nose, and then ruffled it a few times.

Before long, a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared on his face. The soil actually contained a wisp of life energy.

This is definitely not fertilizer made from fermented dragon or beast excrement!

The fertilizer the church uses to fertilize the land is not of such high quality!

Could it really be... dragon dung?!

No... How could there be life force in fertilizer made from fermented dragon dung?

It's more like the soil from the legendary Elf Kingdom, a place brimming with life force.

I've heard that the land where the Elven Kingdom resides was blessed by the Goddess of Life, so their soil is rich in vitality, spring-like all year round, and everything can grow there, with no famine ever occurring.

Whether these two sacks contain soil from the Elven Kingdom or dragon dung, they both have the effect of nourishing the land!

Moreover, its effects far surpass those of the fertilizers used by the church.

A smile spread across Connor's dark face. "Your Highness, how much dragon dung do you have left?! Two sacks definitely won't be enough! You'd better have several hundred sacks!"

If we had hundreds of sacks of dragon dung of this quality, there would be absolutely no famine in the North this year!

Connor put the dragon dung in his hand into the sack, carefully scraped the soil sticking to his palm into the sack, and looked at Sophia with a somewhat fanatical gaze.

As the Minister of Agriculture of the North, he was well aware of the value of these two bags of dragon dung. If Princess Sophia could produce several hundred bags, the North would definitely have a bumper harvest this year.

Hundreds of bags...

Sophia's lips twitched slightly. How could she dare to steal so much dragon dung at once? Not only did she lack the ability, but even if she did, she wouldn't dare.

"There are only two bags left. Come back tomorrow to get them."

Only two bags...

Connor felt a little uncomfortable, and also realized that... this kind of high-quality dragon dung was definitely not as easy to obtain as he had imagined.

He placed his right hand on his chest and bowed to Sophia again. "Your Highness, if there is anything I can do to help you, please do not hesitate to ask. I will do my best to complete the tasks assigned to me by Your Highness."

"Okay, you can take these two bags of dragon dung for now."

"Yes. I assure Your Highness, I will not waste a single drop of these two bags of... dragon dung."

Sophia nodded, then added as if she had thought of something, "You must keep it a secret that I was able to get dragon dung. When you tell others, you can't say it's dragon dung."

Connor looked puzzled, but nodded nonetheless. "Yes."

"You should send troops to protect the land that has been used with dragon dung. You must not allow anyone to steal it or damage it."

Especially those in the church, do you understand?

"Understood, Your Highness. Rest assured, anything that can increase crop yields is more precious to me than gold!"

Sophia smiled and nodded. She believed it. Looking at Minister Connor's dark complexion, she knew he was a man of action.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have felt comfortable entrusting the dragon dung to him.

Connor sent troops to protect her because he was afraid the church would steal the fruits of her labor.

She risked losing even her life as a ghost by stealing dragon dung from hell. If the church were to turn around and dig up the dragon dung she brought from hell, she would definitely be furious.

"Your Highness, I plan to designate a relatively flat farmland as an experimental field. No one may set foot on this experimental field without Your Highness's order or my order."

Anyone who trespasses into the experimental field will be punished for damaging crops. What does Your Highness think of my suggestion?

“Very good, we will do as you say.”

"Then I won't disturb Your Highness's rest any longer."

Minister Connor bowed to Sophia again, then, carrying a sack filled with dragon dung in one hand, left the garden with light steps.

Seeing this, Sophia secretly clicked her tongue in amazement; Minister Connor was truly strong.

"Minister Connor, I'll have someone help you."

"No need, no need, I can do it myself. Lady Anna, please go see His Highness."

Anna, dressed in a blue and gold knight's uniform, came to the garden to find Sophia and happened to run into Connor, who was carrying a bag of dragon dung in each hand. Anna wanted to send someone to help Minister Connor with his load, but Minister Connor refused.

Could the sack be filled with dragon dung?

If it's dragon dung, it explains why Minister Connor, who always has a furrowed brow, is beaming today.

Princess Sophia really brought dragon dung out of the dream world?

As Anna walked and pondered, she came to Sophia, whose princess was lying in a rocking chair, half of her body in the shade and half in the sun.

He held a small piece of tree root in his hand, gnawing on it every now and then.

"Your Highness, were the two sacks that Minister Connor just took filled with dragon dung?"

"That's right! As long as I keep stealing dragon dung, I will eventually become the Queen of the Kingdom of Roland! And you... my guardian knight Anna, will then be the Queen's first guardian knight!"

"..."

Princess Sophia is daydreaming again.

Becoming the Queen of the Kingdom of Roland is definitely not as simple as Princess Sophia thinks.

Even if Princess Sophia can make agriculture comparable to the Flower Language Plain under the jurisdiction of Princess Eileen, it won't work if she can't catch up in other aspects.

"Your Highness, it's not enough to be comparable to the Flower Language Plains in agriculture alone; we must catch up in other areas as well, such as military, commerce, economy, and population..."

“Anna, I want to start a caravan.”

"?"

no...

Did Your Highness even listen to her? She was talking about commerce, not caravans.

What's the point of forming a caravan?

"Hehe... Buying things to please the dragon in my dreams."

"?"

Chapter 22 Lord Dragon Didin borrows a book from a coffin?

Buying things? Or trying to please the dragon in my dreams?

A caravan was formed just to buy things from all over the kingdom? To curry favor with the dragon in his dreams?

Anna stared at Sophia for a while, then raised her hand to her forehead. This kind of seemingly unreliable thing was something her prince was capable of doing.

However, if Your Highness can truly use items from the human world to strengthen the relationship with the Dream Dragon, and even establish a caravan specifically for the Dream Dragon... then it would be worthwhile.

I wonder just how powerful the dragon in Princess Sophia's dream was.

Anna thought of the dragon scale that had appeared on Sophia's chest. Could it be that, as Princess Sophia said, the dragon scale was not a curse, but a gift from the dragon in her dream?

"Your Highness, how powerful is the dragon in your dream world? Can it protect you?"

"Very strong, very strong." Sophia recalled the image of the dragon Diding crushing the alien corpse's head with its dragon claws. "It can also protect me. The dragon in my dream saved my life last night."

"?!"

The dragon in the dream world actually saved His Highness's life last night?!

Anna didn't believe that Princess Sophia would lie. Based on her understanding of the princess, she wouldn't deliberately glorify someone or make malicious assumptions about them.

“There is no problem in setting up a caravan. Who does Your Highness intend to appoint as the leader of the caravan? Also, the caravan travels all over the country and may encounter many unforeseen dangers, so it will also need guards.”

"Why not just draw guards directly from the army? Or simply dispatch an elite army to protect the caravan?"

Anna shook her head: "When caravans travel all over the country, it's best to choose guards who have traveled throughout the kingdom, such as adventurers or mercenaries."

When looking for such people, there is another issue to be aware of: you need to make sure they won't be tempted by money and kill the caravan members halfway through the journey.

Does Your Highness have someone in mind for such a person?

“…”

Sofia's lips twitched slightly. Is setting up a caravan really that complicated?

Her purpose in establishing the caravan was to have it travel throughout the kingdom to purchase local specialty fruit and vegetable seeds, as well as various local products.

It probably won't be easy for the dragon Destin to cultivate seeds in the Nether, given the environment there—no sun, and... well, rain that breeds monsters.

Anyway, buying more seeds for the dragon Destin to cultivate is definitely the right thing to do.

Setting up a caravan is a bit troublesome, but it still has to be done.
