"No wonder there's talk outside that the Duke possesses alchemy-like abilities; Mr. Duke's calculations indeed differ little from turning stone into gold," Janira sincerely praised.

Even with magic farmland, it would take a year or two to accumulate such a substantial amount of grain.
If this agreement had been signed even a month or half a month later, it wouldn't have been half a million.
"I mentioned to the Patriarch earlier that this isn't the end of our collaboration, but the beginning."
