Chapter 402: The following month

A month had passed quickly since Erik had first arrived in the community. After initially greeting him with wariness and suspicion, Erik now found himself met with acceptance, which he found to be both humbling and rewarding.

It was a gradual, steady process that required patience and effort on his part and turned him from an outsider into a member of the community. His transition was anything but sudden, but it happened.

People who had previously regarded him with suspicion started to form new opinions about him as time passed.

They were persuaded not only by his extensive knowledge of advanced farming techniques and his unyielding work ethic but also by the fact that, after he arrived, the village began to improve, which was likely due to his presence.

He instructed them in the most efficient methods of crop cultivation, introduced them to innovative approaches to irrigation, and even revealed the key to enhancing the fertility of their soil.
