Volume 8 Chapter 18: Green house

"Alright! Let's begin construction again!" Keith pumped his fist. He hadn't gone to class for this. It had been quite some time since he worked on the second island. With him heading to the Rustchil Duchy, the second island was left untouched for the most part. The only thing that was completed was the pathway.

Heading toward the center,

"I see you have been growing well." This was the seed he had obtained long ago from the S-rank Dungeon. That tiny sprout had become prominent. A smaller grin formed; the boy could tell it was being cared for well. Udine and Diana, two great spirits working together, would give it a lavish life. His heart swelled with pride at the sight of the thriving seed.

"I hope you grow into a big tree." That was what he had hoped for as he headed to an open space. Many things still needed to be built. The space was split into four different sections.

The Pergola

Garden

Training Field

Farm/Creation Things

Those were the four main things that he planned to build.

"First thing I need to do is prepare the garden." This one took precedence over everything else! The other three could be built later on. Creating the garden would allow for more vegetables and trees to be grown.

The garden should be next to the pergola and the farm. It would be easier to obtain fruits and other materials, or I could plant some fruit trees in the pergola; that way, no one would need to move. As he thought about the formation,

"Bzz!" "Hello, Bei!" A little bee floated towards Keith. Behind her were a bunch of other bees as well. These were none other than dragon bees, Keith's most recent familiar.

"How are you guys doing?" These dragon bees lived on the second island as their hive was created on the side.

"Do you guys want flowers to be grown near your hive?"

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"Bzz?"

"You know, for collecting honey." If he remembered, bees needed flowers to create honey.

"Bzz!" Bei and the other dragon bees were excited as they floated around Keith.

"Understood. I will plant some flowers for you. But you have to wait a bit." Keith grinned, "I need to work on the garden first." The completion of the garden and he wanted to find perfect flowers.

"Bzz," The dragon bees quickly returned to their hive before coming back with a giant jar.

"Ahh, thank you. Wow, there's a lot." That was expected when you don't collect it for a week or two. Dragon honey. That was one of the things created by dragon bees. It was considered to be an A+ ingredient. It had incredible healing capabilities. And it cost a fortune.

Storing the honey away,

"Let's begin the greenhouse first." What Krystal said about the mangos tasting made him wonder. But that was not the other only thing. As everyone ate the LY mangos, he realized it tasted different from the ones grown at the Rustchil Duchy. It was not because of Diana's abilities. Diana's abilities were more like an enhancement. But the flavors from the LY mangos were different.

There was another reason why it was like this.

Environment and climate. The duchy was much more humid and hotter compared to the island. That definitely altered the flavor. That was why he wanted to build a greenhouse. Greenhouses were perfect for controlling climate.

"Let's do this." Wood and other materials suddenly appeared before him. Ember wood is perfect for the job. It was spoil-proof and durable. Keith grinned as he took a hammer and mallet. Making a simple greenhouse was easy. Creating a concrete base was simple enough. Once everything was leveled, the frame was next.

"Not bad if I do say so myself." Keith wiped the sweat off as he stared. Transparent material came next. These were like polycarbonate; sunlight would shine into the room.

He placed it on all sides and took a hammer to slam them in. After some time, it was finished. I will use these for the top; the materials on top would be different. It was none other than the rock Udine had given him.

That warm glow was soft and easy as it shined down. The boy had a hunch that it would be great for the vegetables and fruit. Let's do this!

It was simple enough as he only needed to shape the stone appropriately and slide it into the wood holes he created. This entire process took a few hours. But as he continued, it was time to work on the second one!

"I'm finished!" Keith grinned as he stared at the two greenhouses that were before him. It took him half a day to finish all of this. Now, the insides. Besides creating the greenhouse's frame, other things were made, such as building the border to hold the dirt. It was easy enough as he placed them in. He could stack them up with one another as the sunlight was shining diagonally, allowing it to hit the bottom plants as well.

Afterward, Keith planted the seeds. "These are good to go."

"Woah! Why are there two houses outside?" Hearing her voice, Keith then walked out,

"Keith, you built this?" Fira circled the houses.

"Mmhmm, it's going to make some fruits different from the others." Keith had already planted the ly mangos. Now, the only thing he needed now was, "Can you help it grow?"

"Mmhmm!" Fira quickly headed into the thing. That was when she was quite amazed,

"Wahh, it's so comfy! The beautiful light was quite warming and comforting towards her body." She could feel it across their body.

"That's because of the light that was used." Udine's materials really did something like that.

"With this, the vegetables will taste different."

"Really?!"

"Mmhmm!"
