After Leon memorized the location, Rosalie returned and discussed clearing rice fields with Talia.
Talia was generous and immediately arranged several strong beastmen to follow Rosalie the next day.
Still, Talia was worried. She had a feeling the chillwave was coming soon. Clearing new fields would take time, and she was not sure they could make it in time.
Sovereign City and the nearby tribes were much larger than Vaford. Their population was more than double.
Rosalie also felt the temperature dropping. Clearing land, growing rice, processing it, and convincing people to buy it would take time. There was no guarantee everyone could eat rice before the chillwave arrived.
She thought about it all night. The next morning, Rosalie sent Leon with the beastmen to the chosen site. She stayed behind.
She asked Declan to cut wood in the forest. Gael smoothed the logs into long strips.
They needed wide, flexible wood. Rosalie drew shapes in the sand, and Cameron carved the wood to match.
Cameron carved many strange shapes. Rosalie then tried to assemble them.
In the end, they made a strange object that fell apart as soon as someone stepped on it.
Declan carried several logs and dropped them to the ground with a loud thud, dust flying everywhere. “Matriarch, do you still need wood?”
Rosalie pressed her forehead and waved him off. “Not for now. Let’s take a break.”
Rosalie had planned to build a simple cart. Then one husband could return to Vaford and bring rice back.
The chillwave had already passed in Vaford. People there could earn rice by working in the fields, and no one lacked food.
The yield was high. Rice could be harvested twice a week. Transporting the extra rice to Sovereign City would be perfect.
But the distance was long. Carrying rice by hand was slow and exhausting.
One beastman could only carry two sacks. That amount fed a family of seven for just a few days.
So Rosalie tried to invent a cart. Her idea was good, but reality was harsh. She had no talent for it and ended up with a useless mess.
