Montaser stood at the edge of the land, extending his hand. Montaser is one of the strongest individuals on the continent and the third in the Dalma family, and his power lies in telekinesis which is a bloodline skill just like Elisa's.

Suddenly, under Montaser's control, the soil of the land began to defy gravity. Hundreds of tons of earth ascended into the air, a spectacle that defied logic. Fray, standing alongside Elisa and Sina, observed the scene with wide-eyed amazement.

The issue of soil salinity, common for lands near the ocean like this one, was a challenging problem. Treating soil salinity typically took years, even in Yassine's world. However, Fray believed that by combining Yassine's knowledge with the unique powers of this world, he could achieve faster and more effective results.

Under Montaser's control, the soil ascended and gathered into an enormous ball of dirt, casting a shadow that enveloped Fray and the others.

At that moment, Fray turned to Sina, who stood behind the large blue ball of the Everlast Core and gave her a subtle gesture.

Understanding the cue, Sina activated the Everlast Core. The blue ball ascended, emitting a faint blue glow as it hovered above Sina's head.

Sina took control of the Everlast Core, unleashing a powerful current of water with high pressure. The water was directed toward the ball of soil.

As the torrent of water reached the soil under Montaser's control, he skillfully halted its descent. Slowly, he began merging the water and soil mid-air.

Fray observed the process for several moments as the soil became entirely enveloped by an immense ball of water. Under the precise control of Sina and Montaser, the water permeated the soil, extracting and absorbing any excess salt present.

With the completion of the cleaning for the first part, Montaser gently lowered the ball of soil evenly onto the ground. Before taking another section, awaiting the same meticulous process for several turns until the time for Montaser to leave arrived.

Despite his busy schedule, Montaser devoted two hours each day to assisting Fray. Unfortunately, as the time for Montaser to return to his demanding responsibilities approached, the two hours allocated for the day came to an end.

As a person of immense importance within the Dalma family, Montaser's schedule was always tight. Saying his goodbyes swiftly, he launched his body skyward like a missile, gracefully ascending into the air. With purposeful determination, Montaser soared back towards the city, leaving the rejuvenated section of land behind him.

Fray and Sina stood side by side, gazing at the land, particularly the section they had just cleaned. Despite its small appearance against the vastness of the entire territory, this spot represented more than ten hectares of land, now completely devoid of the once-persistent white spots. It was a significant accomplishment on the very first day, a visible and promising progress.

Sina, with a proud expression, looked at the land then she suddenly turned to the village direction while asking. "Do you think the villagers will come to help? They didn't seem excited about our presence."

Ever since the day the four villages lost their land, the Dalma family had utterly abandoned them. Left to fend for themselves, the villagers endured attacks from monsters, and suffered through hunger, attacks and diseases, all without a single gesture of aid from Iskar city. Given this history, it was hardly surprising that the four villages harboured deep resentment and refused to accept Fray as a representative of the Dalma family.

"They will come, but I don't expect a large turnout," Fray replied calmly.

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

As Fray expected, within a few minutes, a group of villagers led by the four elderly leaders began approaching the lands. As expected, only a modest gathering of just over thirty villagers out of the thousands present came forward to offer their assistance. The resentment towards the Dalma family, who had abandoned them for generations, ran deep, hindering a more enthusiastic response, this is without mentioning the curse that all the villagers fear.

As the villagers reached the land, their eyes widened in shock at the cleaned section. Mumbling ensued among them, with some questioning, "Was the elderly right? Is it really not a curse?" while others wondered, "Can we really restore our land?"

Even the elderly were taken aback, their expressions reflecting a mix of surprise and hope. As they approached Fray, he extended his gratitude, saying, "Thank you for coming; we really need your help."

"You're welcome, young master. What do you need from us?" one of the elderly asked with excitement, looking at the now clean and promising land.

Fray, with the villagers gathered around, began explaining his plans and vision for the land. The primary objective was to establish irrigation systems that could automatically address salt issues when they arose. Providing the villagers with their tasks, Fray set them on the path of preparing the land for the irrigation channels and later seeding, marking the commencement of their collaborative efforts.

The process continued throughout the rest of the day, progressing into the following morning when it was time to plant seeds for crops with a bit of tolerance to salt.

The next morning, Fray found himself standing alone, observing a scene even busier than the previous day. Montaser and Sina had moved on to the next section of the land, while the villagers enthusiastically began sowing seeds of crops with some resistance to salt.

What marked another significant difference from the previous day was the doubled number of villagers who had come to help. Their faces even expressed joy and excitement, a contrast to the sombre mood of the initial day.

After almost an hour, a portal suddenly opened beside Fray, and from it emerged Adam, accompanying a mage dressed in a full white cloak adorned with silver symbols.

Fray extended his hand toward the mage. "Welcome, Sir Miles. Thank you for coming."

Mage Paul Miles, the primary healing mage of the Dalma family, had been summoned by Fray through Adam. Unlike Montaser, Paul didn't come for free.

"No need to thank me, young master; this is my job," Paul replied politely, casting his eyes over the land. He inquired, "So, you need my help to grow crops?"

Fray turned to observe the land where the villagers were nearly finished planting seeds. "Yes, can you try?"

"As you know, my magic won't be enough for the crops to achieve full growth. The maximum I can achieve is a month of growth," Paul explained, assessing the situation.

"Yes, Sir Miles I'm aware, you could start," Fray asked.

Paul, getting the order, started approaching the land. Meanwhile, Fray, who remained with Adam, said, "Alright, Adam, move to the next step."

Upon Fray's instruction, Adam gave a nod and opened a portal, entering it to proceed with the next phase of their plan.

As Paul approached the land, he lowered his hand, mumbling an incantation. Suddenly, a glow emerged from his hand, spreading through the land like a wave. The villagers watched with anticipation, hoping for a miracle. Unfortunately, the glow faded, and nothing happened.

Paul turned to Fray with regret. "I'm sorry, young master. It seems that there's no life on this land. It can't grow any crops."

Fray focused on Paul and the symbols on his clothes, contemplating the mystery of magician healers. (Magician healers, the most popular type of mages yet the most mysterious.)

Magic had unique conditions, and the primary requirement was the mage's unique energy. However, given the countless types of unique energy, it seemed impossible for three mages to have the same type of power. Yet, there are thousands of healing magicians.

All healer mages served the Mercial family, one of the six ancient families. Paul, despite working for the Dalma family, held loyalty to the Mercial family, also known as the Holy family.

Anyone aware of this information can conclude that the healers' powers weren't purely magical but were linked to one of the legendary weapons.

(The land was washed out, losing a substantial amount of nutrients and organic material. If Paul's power was truly life energy, he could have easily brought life to the crops without the presence of organic matter. His failure indicates their power isn't healing but rather time manipulation.) Fray pondered with a stoic expression.

Suddenly, the portal opened again, and Adam emerged, followed by Rin and several men carrying large wooden boxes filled with strange powder.

As Fray summoned the villagers working on the land to come closer, they gathered around him. One of them asked, "What is this, young Master?" pointing at the strange substance in the boxes.

"This is called fertilizer. Spread it evenly on the land," Fray ordered.

Confusion filled the eyes of both Paul and the villagers as they wondered about the unfamiliar substance. However, with a simple gesture from Fray, they concluded that he didn't possess all the details. Following his orders, the villagers carried the wooden boxes to the land and started spreading the mysterious powder.

Rin and Adam stood beside Fray, observing the villagers at work. Although they were curious about the substance, their trust in Fray kept them patient and waiting for results.

After some time, as the villagers finished spreading the fertilizer, they gathered beside Fray, Rin, Adam, Montaser, and Sina. Anticipation filled the air as Paul once again approached the land.

Putting his hand on the ground, Paul channelled energy through the soil, leaving behind a wave of green crops.

Montaser, Adam, Rin, Sina, Paul, and all the villagers stood in complete astonishment and disbelief, mouths agape. There were no cheers or words, only silent awe at the miraculous scene before their eyes.

Fray, witnessing the scene, couldn't help but draw a smile on his face. This marked his first real achievement since inheriting Yassine's memories.
