Chapter 323: Farmers' Reality 1
While massaging Abby's thin waist, Minos gradually raised his hands over the girl's body, reaching her erogenous points.
Abby could feel Minos' breath near her left ear while her neck gently shivered. At the same time, the young Stuart's agile hands had already reached the young woman's armpits and were slowly massaging her, closer and closer to her breasts.
Abby was feeling her breath rise as her body began to heat up and her pupils dilated. Her cheeks were already flushed a rosy hue when she finally began to enjoy Minos' touch.
That was an indescribable feeling, which she had slowly begun to feel, during these days when she was approaching Minos. Before that, this young woman had never allowed herself to attempt anything of the sort, not even self-knowledge actions, that might arise from anyone's curiosity...
And just because she had never experienced such a thing before, this involvement with Minos was making her feel even better.
"Huh~ Huh~"
The young woman's breathing sounds began to slowly fill that place as she completely relaxed into Minos' lap.
Abby was becoming more and more relaxed, to the point that at this moment, Minos was practically in a diagonal position on that sofa.
Sweat began to form at specific points of the young woman's body. At the same time, her body started these natural reactions common to those in the heat of the moment.
As she felt Minos' hands go where they shouldn't, under the bra that covered her two peaks, this young woman thought about this. 'Maybe I should interrupt this? What if I lose control and allow him to do everything with me?'
'But I promised I wouldn't use my ability... Not to mention that I honestly need it right now.' She pondered that as she felt goosebumps run through her body as young Stuart played with her nipples.
"Ah~"
Abby then made a low moan, but one that Minos couldn't help but overhear. It made him feel excellent, seeing her friend and hearing the heavenly sounds she was slowly making. Such a thing pleased this young sovereign very much.
And in fact, since the two of them had started, several minutes had passed, and all the administrative staff of the mansion had already left.
"Oh? Then fine. Take me to my bed..." She finished speaking when she finally fell asleep as Minos carried her.
...
Another week has passed in the Dry City.
At this time, the sun was high in the sky over the town ruled by Minos, while the weather was stable, without any clouds in the local atmosphere.
And amid this moment, in a part of the center of the Dry City, several people wearing simple clothes came and went from a public building in that place.
The building was nothing special, having only three floors and a size that could be considered small to those commonly seen around here. However, this location could be regarded as extremely important, as this is where citizens could apply for local agriculture.
Given the vast number of people that the Dry City's Agriculture Department received, it wasn't convenient for this service to stay in the government mansion. Because of this, the place where citizens could join the teams of farmers and receive their payments was in the building in question.
Anyway, this place basically had a big reception on the first floor, where people could register and change their shifts in the local agriculture. Then, on the second floor was the place where monthly payments were made, and finally, on the last was the administration of this place.
And amidst the typical movement of this place, one of the more than 20 receptionists on the first floor explained to a newcomer what agricultural work was like in the Dry City. "Yes, we have vacancies for everyone willing to work. There is no need to wait until the next harvest, as was the case before."
"Oh? That's nice. But what about payment? I just arrived in town, after finding out about this place, with a cousin of mine in the Kingdom of the Waves. He had told me that farmers here earn 40 crystals a month. That's right?" The man who was here to register asked the attendant.
"It used to be like that in the past, but that has changed over the last year. Now, farmers' wages vary according to the level of these workers, something that is related to the number of hectares each person can handle."
According to the local Agriculture Department studies, 200 cultivators between levels 20 and 25 could handle 3 hectares. As for a group of people between levels 26 and 29 could handle this same area, with just over 130 workers.
As for people in the 4th stage of cultivation, this varied even more from level to level. For example, groups with members between levels 30 and 33 could handle that 3 hectares, with just over 60 people.
For teams with people between levels 34 and 37, they could handle that area with only 40 people. And finally, for those cultivators between levels 38 and 39, they would only need 30 people for the same service.
Because of this difference, to encourage the population to continue working in agriculture and establish a salary equivalent to the work performed, the local government had carried out this study and finally changed the payments relative to the level of farmers!
