Chapter 3: Measuring Lornis’s Depth
Due to the small size of his territory, Romon was intimately familiar with every inch of the land.
In this world, there were no other entertainment options, so aside from measuring the land, the only other thing to do was measure Lornis's depth.
As for drinking, he had long since developed a rebellious attitude due to his grandfather's alcoholism.
Though he had only drawn a rectangle on the blueprint, Romon could clearly and accurately make his way to the area where the ore was buried.
This location was at the northernmost part of the waterdrop-shaped territory. To the north, the great lord owned a vast forest, leaving only a small scrap of land within Romon's territory.
And the magic crystal ore was hidden in front of this small forest.
"Starting from here..."
Romon grabbed a villager's hoe and drew a three-meter diameter circle on the ground.
"Dig down from here. No breaks. I know this small area can't accommodate all of you, but you must work at maximum efficiency. I hope you understand what I'm saying."
The task of digging was simple enough that the villagers didn't even need to think twice. After a nod from the villager at the front of the line, they immediately grabbed their farming tools and began to dig.
Romon stepped back from the digging area and looked at the nearby flat ground.
