00:00:01Rent, $3,800. Utilities, $1,200. Supplies, $2,000. I'm not running a shop, I'm just working for my

00:00:08landlord. At this rate, I'll have to switch careers to fortune telling. Sigh. Huh?

00:00:22Has my prescription gone up again?

00:00:27Oh no, my shop time traveled.

00:00:32Miss, may I have a bowl of water?

00:00:34Which production crew are you from? Filming right here in my shop?

00:00:37Production crew? I am William Ashford, heir of Ashford Manor. The city is facing a severe

00:00:41drought. There's truly no water to be found. If you would be so kind as to spare a bowl of

00:00:44water, I, William, will reward you generously.

00:00:47Short drama actors are so dedicated nowadays. This makeup is incredible.

00:00:53$3. Why is this water boiling?

00:00:59It's sparkling water. It's not boiling.

00:01:09Just drink it. Stop acting. Your lips are all chapped.

00:01:15This water is incredibly refreshing.

00:01:25First time trying a carbonated drink?

00:01:33Miss, how much more water do you have?

00:01:36I've got plenty of bottled water inside. $2 each? Take as much as you need. Sparkling water

00:01:40is $3. Scan the code or pay cash.

00:01:43What is scanning a code?

00:01:45Don't tell me you're broke.

00:01:50This should cover the cost.

00:01:56This prop looks so real.

00:02:00Okay.

00:02:01Okay.

00:02:02Okay.

00:02:11Careful not to rip the bag. Eat the buns while they're hot.

00:02:15Thank you for saving my life, miss.

00:02:28Did I just sell water to ancient times?

00:02:39The young lord is back.

00:02:43Quick, fetch my father and mother and bring clean bowls.

00:02:48Young lord, where did you get this glass bottle? It holds so much miracle water.

00:02:54Don't ask. Just save them first.

00:02:56Okay.

00:03:08It really is water.

00:03:12No odor. Clear as a spring.

00:03:14Father, mother, you drink first. Such fine water.

00:03:18It's been three days. Finally, a sip of clean water.

00:03:22Here, have something to eat.

00:03:27There's meat in this white bun!

00:03:29Where did these come from?

00:03:31There's a strange little shop at Southgate Corner.

00:03:33The owner is a young woman.

00:03:34She has plenty of food and water, and very peculiar gadgets.

00:03:36Frontier Town is in a severe drought.

00:03:38How does her small shop have food and water?

00:03:39I don't understand it either, but she doesn't seem like a bad person.

00:03:47Lord Ashford, the relief silver is here.

00:03:49Why do we still have no water?

00:03:52Is the manor hoarding food and water?

00:03:58Ashford Manor has never hoarded a single grain. A single grain of relief food.

00:04:01What about water? Our children are dying of thirst.

00:04:04The manor will distribute water first today. The elderly and children get it first.

00:04:09What is this?

00:04:14Water that can save lives.

00:04:18Mother, that is sweet!

00:04:19Thank you, Lord Ashford!

00:04:22This water is only enough for today.

00:04:30The shape matches.

00:04:32The oxidation marks match too, and the weight matches.

00:04:49If this is real, I didn't just sell a dozen bottles of water today.

00:04:53I sold the turning point of my life.

00:05:00Calm down.

00:05:01Emily, calm down.

00:05:02There are so many scammers nowadays.

00:05:03Maybe it's a high-quality fake, or some TV station doing a new kind of prank show.

00:05:07I'll find out tomorrow.

00:05:09I'll get it appraised.

00:05:26Where did you get this, miss?

00:05:29Handed down from my ancestors.

00:05:30Your ancestors were pretty rich.

00:05:32They did okay.

00:05:33Just kept a low profile.

00:05:36Are you selling it?

00:05:37How much can you offer?

00:05:39$20,000.

00:05:40$20,000?

00:05:42That's the current market rate.

00:05:43If you have more, the price we can negotiate.

00:05:46No more.

00:05:47Just this one.

00:05:48I'll go back.

00:05:50I can think about it.

00:06:07You're here.

00:06:08You were waiting for me.

00:06:10No, I was waiting for business.

00:06:15What are you doing?

00:06:16The water from yesterday saved the manor and the people.

00:06:18My father sent me to ask for your help again.

00:06:20Is the drought really that severe over there?

00:06:22Three years, with little rain.

00:06:23Dried up wells and rivers.

00:06:24Food prices have soared tenfold.

00:06:26If we don't get water and food soon, Frontier Town will be in chaos.

00:06:28Are people really dying of thirst?

00:06:32Every single day.

00:06:36All right, I can help.

00:06:38But let me be clear.

00:06:39I'm no goddess.

00:06:40I just run a breakfast shop.

00:06:41I understand.

00:06:42Like hell you do.

00:06:44You're looking at me like I'm some deity.

00:06:46What did you say?

00:06:48Nothing.

00:06:48Come grab the water.

00:06:51Is this all food?

00:06:53Edible, convenient, and they last long.

00:06:55These are called survival biscuits.

00:06:57Don't eat too much at once or you'll choke.

00:07:03Dry, but very filling.

00:07:07Give these to the elderly and kids first.

00:07:09And don't just bite into these instant noodles.

00:07:11You need to boil water.

00:07:11Just steep the noodles.

00:07:13Never mind.

00:07:14Let me show you.

00:07:19Incredibly fast.

00:07:20Modern food can taste bad, but it must be fast.

00:07:22Hurry up and move them.

00:07:31Water is rationed by household size.

00:07:34The elderly, children, and sick go first.

00:07:36No fighting.

00:07:39Young lord, I beg you.

00:07:41My child hasn't eaten in two days.

00:07:43Let the child take small sips first.

00:07:51I cursed the manor for hoarding food just yesterday.

00:07:54I deserve to die.

00:07:56Focus on surviving first.

00:08:03How is this bread so soft?

00:08:07Mom, it is sweet.

00:08:15Where did Ashford Manor get cold water?

00:08:23My lord, Ashford Manor gave out a lot of strange food and water today.

00:08:27The people have stopped making trouble.

00:08:28Strange food and water?

00:08:30Water in clear bottles.

00:08:31Soft bread wrapped in paper.

00:08:32And another kind of noodles that can be eaten just by adding hot water.

00:08:35Hm.

00:08:36The Ashford family has such tricks up their sleeves.

00:08:38Should I send someone to investigate?

00:08:42Investigate.

00:08:42Find out exactly where they're getting their supplies.

00:08:45If Frontier Town isn't in chaos, Ashford Manor won't fall.

00:08:49If Ashford Manor doesn't fall, my entire plan will have been for nothing.

00:08:57The grain merchants raised prices again yesterday.

00:09:00Up to 12 times the normal rate.

00:09:02And the major merchants all say the same thing, claiming they have no grain to sell.

00:09:05They aren't out of grain.

00:09:07They just refuse to sell it.

00:09:10The supply routes are being blocked.

00:09:14Those routes all pass through Lord Blackwell's territory.

00:09:16We have no proof.

00:09:17Don't make wild accusations.

00:09:18But keep that in mind.

00:09:21Understood, Father.

00:09:30Today, it's water, bread, and instant noodles.

00:09:34Miss, could we have more?

00:09:38How much more?

00:09:40Enough to feed a city for half a month.

00:09:43A city?

00:09:44Do you think I'm the Global Relief Center?

00:09:46Where is this Global Relief Center?

00:09:49That's not the point.

00:09:50Your problem right now isn't if you have buns today.

00:09:53It's that you'll starve tomorrow, the next day, and next month.

00:09:56That is exactly right.

00:09:57Then you can't just rely on me for ready-made food.

00:09:59Even with all our modern supplies, I can't move enough food to feed a city.

00:10:02What are you suggesting, miss?

00:10:03You have to grow it yourselves.

00:10:04Find your own water.

00:10:05And restore production.

00:10:06How do we grow anything in a drought?

00:10:07Check out modern agriculture.

00:10:13Mr. Crow, Ashford Manor has started distributing food.

00:10:16The people aren't buying from us.

00:10:17What do we do with the grain we hoarded?

00:10:19Why panic?

00:10:20Their little bit of food and water won't last long.

00:10:23But the people are all praising Ashford Manor now.

00:10:27And let them know that their food and water come from a shady source.

00:10:31Starting tomorrow, spread rumors in the city.

00:10:33Say Ashford Manor used dark magic to get the food.

00:10:36And drinking that water will shorten their lives.

00:10:38Will the people believe it?

00:10:39In times of disaster, people fear divine punishment most.

00:10:41As long as they're scared, there will be chaos.

00:10:53How many acres are you farming this?

00:10:56Quite a lot, can't you tell?

00:10:58You're a big time farmer for your age.

00:11:01Farming runs in the family.

00:11:08You can't move this alone.

00:11:10I'm Mr. Thompson.

00:11:11I sell farming equipment.

00:11:12Seeing you buy these drought relief items.

00:11:14If it's on a large scale, I can offer you a complete solution.

00:11:17How much is the solution?

00:11:18Depends on the size.

00:11:19And if you're really serious about it.

00:11:24This is a string.

00:11:25And this is a tube.

00:11:26Water flows through here, then slowly seeps out of the small holes.

00:11:29Feeding directly into the roots of the crops.

00:11:31Don't flood them.

00:11:32Water is scarce.

00:11:33We can't waste it.

00:11:34Drip irrigation saves the most water.

00:11:36This can test the soil's acidity and moisture.

00:11:38Acidity?

00:11:39You can think of it as checking if that soil is suitable for growing crops.

00:11:45Will these really grow?

00:11:48I can't guarantee they all will.

00:11:50But we won't know unless we try.

00:11:52Then we try.

00:11:57This black rope feels just like snakeskin.

00:12:00The young lord said it's a water pipe.

00:12:02But this pipe is too soft.

00:12:04How does water flow through it?

00:12:06Is this from that Miss Rivers?

00:12:08She said if we want to survive, Frontier Town must grow crops again.

00:12:13Those words are worth more than water.

00:12:16We start the test field tomorrow.

00:12:18Anyone who slacks off will face military law.

00:12:21Whoever succeeds will be rewarded by the manor.

00:12:32Is she the noble lady the young lord mentioned?

00:12:36Her clothes are so weird.

00:12:40Hello, everyone.

00:12:41This is Miss Rivers.

00:12:42She is the one who brought water, food, and seeds to Frontier Town.

00:12:45No, no.

00:12:46Please don't.

00:12:47Hurry and get up.

00:12:52Everyone, look here.

00:12:53Pay attention to this.

00:12:54This isn't a black snake.

00:12:55It's a water pipe.

00:12:56Oh!

00:13:00Water is actually coming out.

00:13:02It's seeping right out of the slits in the pipe.

00:13:04Amazing.

00:13:04It doesn't wash the soil away at all.

00:13:06It just goes right through the topsoil to the roots.

00:13:07Exactly.

00:13:08You don't have much water right now, so you can't flood the fields.

00:13:11You have to make every drop count.

00:13:19Oh my, I used to only steam buns.

00:13:22I can't believe I'm branching out into farming now.

00:13:24You saved more than this one acre today.

00:13:26You saved thousands of lives in Frontier Town.

00:13:28Oh, please, don't always praise me so seriously.

00:13:31I can't handle it.

00:13:31I might float.

00:13:33Float?

00:13:33It means getting carried away.

00:13:35Then you can get a little carried away.

00:13:37You deserve it.

00:13:39Oh no, oh no.

00:13:40That look is totally unfair.

00:13:42Are all you ancient people such smooth talkers?

00:13:49Mr. Crow, I've checked carefully.

00:13:51For the past few days, the young lord always comes here every night.

00:13:54This place has been abandoned for ages.

00:13:56There isn't even a decent shop here.

00:13:58Where is he getting the supplies?

00:14:02Shh.

00:14:10He's gone!

00:14:10It's like seeing a ghost.

00:14:12Shut up and keep watching.

00:14:26Someone was tailing me outside the alley today.

00:14:28Tailing you?

00:14:30Acting suspiciously.

00:14:31Probably Lord Blackwell's men.

00:14:34Could they follow you inside?

00:14:35Will this door hold?

00:14:36I've checked.

00:14:37Aside from me, no one else can even see this door.

00:14:40At least, for now.

00:14:41They can't enter.

00:14:42That's a relief.

00:14:43Good.

00:14:50What is this?

00:14:51It's a security camera.

00:14:53Hide it somewhere in the alley.

00:14:54If anyone gets close to it, it'll record everything.

00:14:58Like a recording stone.

00:15:01Exactly.

00:15:02You can think of it that way.

00:15:03Remember, don't drop it.

00:15:04Or get it wet.

00:15:05Most importantly, don't put it on an altar back home to worship it.

00:15:08It's just a tool.

00:15:09I won't.

00:15:12It's just a tool.

00:15:29Something's fishy.

00:15:31Report this to Lord Blackwell.

00:15:33The young Lord vanished into a dead end and came out with a full cart.

00:15:37I suspect there's a secret passage.

00:15:39A passage leading straight to food and water.

00:15:41Perhaps it's some kind of trick.

00:15:43Food doesn't appear out of thin air.

00:15:45If it's done by a man, there's always a flaw.

00:15:49Keep an eye on Ashford Manor.

00:15:51And that experimental field, too.

00:15:53If we can't trace the food in water,

00:15:55then we'll destroy their hope first.

00:16:08They sprouted.

00:16:10They really sprouted.

00:16:16Miss Rivers was right.

00:16:18We only have a chance if we try.

00:16:22Will they grow into steamed buns?

00:16:27Yes.

00:16:28Yes.

00:16:28When the time comes, you'll have more steamed buns than you can eat.

00:16:41Have you heard?

00:16:42Ashford Manor hired a witch to grow crops with dark magic.

00:16:45No wonder those water bottles look so strange.

00:16:47Will drinking it shorten our lives?

00:16:48Think about it.

00:16:49How could water appear during a drought?

00:16:51My child drank that water.

00:16:53Think about it.

00:16:54It costs our lifespans.

00:17:01The higher their hopes, the harder they fall.

00:17:07Young Lord, is that water really cursed?

00:17:09Will my child be okay?

00:17:11Were those crops grown with magic?

00:17:13We demand an explanation!

00:17:15If the water were poisoned,

00:17:17drinking it these past few days,

00:17:19I'd have been poisoned already.

00:17:20My kid drank the water and ate the bread,

00:17:22and now he can walk again.

00:17:23If that's dark magic, then bring on the dark magic.

00:17:25Everyone, the manor won't harm you.

00:17:28Whoever uses rumors to ruin you is the real monster.

00:17:31We believe the Young Lord.

00:17:44This small solar pump is great for shallow wells and ponds.

00:17:47With enough sunlight, no electricity needed.

00:17:48No electricity?

00:17:50That's perfect for them.

00:17:51Them?

00:17:51Oh, my relatives live deep in the mountains.

00:17:53No internet or power.

00:17:54Then you'll need water pipes, filters, and mounting brackets.

00:17:57If their water quality is poor,

00:17:58the mud will easily clog the pump.

00:17:59All right, I'll take all of those.

00:18:00From the looks of it,

00:18:01this isn't just a quick emergency fix.

00:18:02It seems like you're building a complete anti-drought system.

00:18:04If people in a place truly can't survive anymore,

00:18:06a real system beats random buying.

00:18:07Tell you what, I'll sell these to you at cost.

00:18:09If they really work out,

00:18:10snap a few photos of the results for me.

00:18:11I'll use them as a case study.

00:18:12I might not be able to show you photos,

00:18:14but I promise it will be a huge success.

00:18:17All right, I'll wait for your good news.

00:18:22Go get the truck and load it up.

00:18:23All right.

00:18:33So this item harnesses the sun's power.

00:18:36To be exact, it turns sunlight into electricity.

00:18:39Sun's essence into power.

00:18:41If you insist on using such fantasy terms,

00:18:44I guess that works too.

00:18:54It's moving, see?

00:18:55No firewood, no peddling the water wheel.

00:18:58Just leave it in the sun and it pumps water itself.

00:19:00There's still groundwater under those shallow wells.

00:19:02This will save countless lives.

00:19:04Exactly.

00:19:05So your top priority right now

00:19:06is to find places with shallow water.

00:19:07Otherwise, the pump can't reach it.

00:19:09Rest assured.

00:19:09Once I return,

00:19:10I'll have the craftsman check all the old wells,

00:19:12lowlands, and dried riverbeds.

00:19:13This divine tool won't go to waste.

00:19:15Young lord,

00:19:16this well dried up last year.

00:19:28Wow!

00:19:29Thank the heavens.

00:19:31It's not the heavens.

00:19:33There's still groundwater at the bottom.

00:19:35Miss Rivers, we found it.

00:19:43It's wet down here.

00:19:47Dig a bit deeper.

00:19:48There might be a water vane.

00:19:51Keep digging along this line.

00:19:52Dig a holding pit first,

00:19:53then connect the drip pipes.

00:19:56Everyone with strength,

00:19:58come help.

00:19:58We're digging for our own survival.

00:20:09This isn't enough for the whole town.

00:20:12But it'll sustain the first trial crops.

00:20:14Once the trial field succeeds,

00:20:16the people won't lose hope.

00:20:20The worst fear isn't starvation.

00:20:22It's believing that death is certain.

00:20:24Does Miss Rivers know what she's done?

00:20:29She always says it's just business.

00:20:33If it's just business,

00:20:35Ashford Manor owes her a massive debt of gratitude.

00:20:54Lord Blackwell,

00:20:55Ashford Manor pumped water from the old well.

00:20:57The people are helping them dig canals now.

00:20:58They used a strange device to pump it.

00:21:00It doesn't need manpower.

00:21:01It pumps water just by sitting in the sun.

00:21:02Does anyone believe the dark magic rumor?

00:21:04Some did at first,

00:21:05but the young lord drank the water publicly,

00:21:07and refugees spoke up for him.

00:21:08We couldn't suppress it.

00:21:09You fool!

00:21:11Water can save lives,

00:21:12but it can also kill.

00:21:13My lord, you mean.

00:21:15If their newly dug reservoir collapses

00:21:17and drowns a few people,

00:21:19will the people still trust Ashford Manor?

00:21:22Understood.

00:21:26You can't dig this water pit too straight.

00:21:28The slopes must be gentle.

00:21:29Otherwise, if the soil loosens,

00:21:30it'll collapse when soaked and ruin everything.

00:21:32It could even cost lives.

00:21:33The slopes must be gentle.

00:21:34You need to add wooden stakes here for support.

00:21:36It's best to line the bottom and sides with stones

00:21:38to prevent erosion.

00:21:39Also, you must have someone you trust guarded at night.

00:21:41You also think someone will make a move?

00:21:43In TV shows,

00:21:44at critical moments like this,

00:21:45someone will definitely show up to sabotage.

00:21:46TV shows?

00:21:47What kind of military strategy book is that?

00:21:48Uh, just think of it as something similar.

00:21:51You truly have seen and known a lot.

00:21:52Not that much, really.

00:21:59Hurry up.

00:22:00Burn the crops first,

00:22:01then smash the pipes.

00:22:06Take them down.

00:22:09Let go!

00:22:10We're just passing by!

00:22:11Passing by the test field at night with oil?

00:22:16Just as expected.

00:22:23Who sent you?

00:22:25No one sent me.

00:22:26I just don't like you.

00:22:27My lord,

00:22:28we found this in the lining of his shoe.

00:22:30We found it.

00:22:32Blackwell Estate.

00:22:33No, I just picked it up.

00:22:35You think anyone can just pick this up?

00:22:37Take him away,

00:22:38and keep him under strict guard.

00:22:40My father will interrogate him tomorrow.

00:22:45Father is right.

00:22:47Besides disaster relief,

00:22:48we must prevent sabotage.

00:22:56This badge only proves

00:22:57he has ties to the Blackwell Estate.

00:22:58It doesn't prove Lord Blackwell ordered him.

00:23:00Father, are we just going to let this go?

00:23:01If you go accuse Lord Blackwell now,

00:23:02the court will ask where your evidence came from.

00:23:03The test field?

00:23:04The water?

00:23:04Miss Rivers?

00:23:05They'll all be exposed.

00:23:06Will, saving the people is a battle in the open.

00:23:07Fighting Lord Blackwell is a battle in the shadows.

00:23:09We cannot afford to lose either.

00:23:10I understand, Father.

00:23:12Burning the fields?

00:23:14Have they no humanity?

00:23:15That's the whole town's hope.

00:23:17Someone wants Frontier Town dead.

00:23:19Because your survival means they gain nothing.

00:23:21You are clever, Miss Rivers.

00:23:22It doesn't take a genius.

00:23:23We have plenty of them in modern times,

00:23:25profiting off disasters.

00:23:26Absolutely despicable.

00:23:29Take these to the field canals

00:23:31and put them in the warehouses.

00:23:32Since you have no electricity,

00:23:33I'll give you power banks and solar panels.

00:23:36Also, don't carry everything on your own.

00:23:39If you collapse,

00:23:39Frontier Town is in deeper trouble.

00:23:42Are you worried about me?

00:23:44I'm worried about my top client.

00:23:46Yeah.

00:23:48Your top client will remember that.

00:23:58Young Lord,

00:23:59can this little black eye really see people?

00:24:03If Miss Rivers said it,

00:24:04then it can.

00:24:06Is this really a heavenly artifact?

00:24:08Don't spread rumors.

00:24:17Yes, sir.

00:24:19This time.

00:24:33Hey, Emmy.

00:24:34Are you opening a supermarket now?

00:24:36No.

00:24:37Just buying some stuff for a friend.

00:24:41Bottled water.

00:24:42Survival biscuits.

00:24:43Huh.

00:24:43Is your friend doing wilderness survival?

00:24:45Pretty close.

00:24:45A rural startup.

00:24:46Just roughing it.

00:24:47Then why did I see you moving things in at midnight?

00:24:49Plus, a guy in ancient costumes visiting you all the time.

00:24:52It's cosplay.

00:24:52Aunt May, young people love wearing hanfu now.

00:24:54Doing immersive role-playing games.

00:24:56Oh, cosplay.

00:24:57That guy is quite handsome.

00:24:59Don't overthink it, Aunt May.

00:25:00I'm not overthinking.

00:25:01You're the one blushing.

00:25:08It's getting harder to fool people around here.

00:25:11Good thing Aunt May didn't ask too many questions.

00:25:14This isn't making a fortune.

00:25:16I just got some money and turned into a purchasing agent.

00:25:18The money was gone before I could even warm it up.

00:25:21If someone really asks where these supplies are going,

00:25:24I'll just say it's grassroots disaster relief.

00:25:26Making money is fine, but the accounts must be clear.

00:25:29Trading between two worlds.

00:25:31If there's an audit or an accounting check one day

00:25:33and I can't explain it, I'll be in big trouble.

00:25:37My father said we can't keep letting you pay.

00:25:40This is for today's supplies.

00:25:41Be honest with me.

00:25:42How much does the manor really have left?

00:25:44We can still manage.

00:25:45Can still manage means you're almost broke, right?

00:25:48The military stipend.

00:25:49Relief, grain, canal repairs, everything costs money.

00:25:52I'll take half.

00:25:53Take the rest back for emergencies.

00:25:54You're not taking it?

00:25:55I'm not a crook taking advantage of you.

00:25:58You guys really need the money right now.

00:25:59In my eyes, you never were.

00:26:02All right, enough flattering.

00:26:03We have goods to move tomorrow.

00:26:04Take the money and go.

00:26:05Don't keep me from my rest.

00:26:11The items you bought before were too piecemeal.

00:26:13Fine for emergencies, not for the long term.

00:26:14A comprehensive drought-resistant planting plan.

00:26:16Right.

00:26:17Step one, find a water source.

00:26:18Step two, small-scale drip irrigation trials.

00:26:20Step three, nursery greenhouses.

00:26:22Step four, soil improvement.

00:26:23Step five, water storage and zoned irrigation.

00:26:25If you really want to help the people there, don't just buy processed food.

00:26:28Once it's eaten, it's gone.

00:26:29Leaving behind tech and systems is what really helps.

00:26:31How did you know I wanted to help people?

00:26:32Every time you buy something, you ask if the elderly and kids can use it.

00:26:36You ask how to save water, and if it runs without power.

00:26:38Real business people don't ask those things.

00:26:43Mr. Thompson, what if I told you the place I'm helping is incredibly remote?

00:26:46So remote you can't even imagine.

00:26:48Would you still be willing to supply it?

00:26:50As long as it's nothing illegal, I'm in.

00:26:53Then it's a deal.

00:26:54Let's go.

00:27:24Instead of giving them a fish, it's better to teach them to fish.

00:27:27Instead of giving them a fish, it's better to teach them to fish.

00:27:30Ms. Rivers, starting today, you're no longer just a supplier for Ashford Manor.

00:27:36Then what am I?

00:27:37You're the relief master of Frontier Town.

00:27:39A master is one who saves lives.

00:27:42You truly deserve this title.

00:27:44In his time, the word master is a title of ultimate respect.

00:27:55Frontier Town hasn't been this green in three years.

00:27:58Things will get harder from now on.

00:28:00Water must be conserved.

00:28:01Fields must be zoned.

00:28:02Food must be strictly rationed.

00:28:03No fighting.

00:28:04And no stealing.

00:28:05Whatever Ms. Rivers says, we'll do it!

00:28:09As long as we survive.

00:28:11Ha!

00:28:12We don't mind the hardship!

00:28:19Look.

00:28:20They trust you.

00:28:22I'm a little scared.

00:28:24Scared I might mess this up.

00:28:27Afraid of giving them hope, only to let them down.

00:28:30Then we'll do it together.

00:28:31You provide the methods, and I'll protect the town.

00:28:33If anything goes wrong, we share the blame.

00:28:35William, I'm holding you to that.

00:28:37Okay.

00:28:37The portal between eras opened.

00:28:39Frontier Town's disaster relief shifted from sending supplies to building a system.

00:28:43The seeds of hope have taken root in the sand.

00:28:4620 rolls of drip tape.

00:28:4810 filter kits.

00:28:49500 seedling trays.

00:28:5150 bags of potting soil.

00:28:5330 rolls of shade netting.

00:28:55This batch of supplies is enough for a small demonstration farm.

00:28:58That's exactly what I want.

00:28:59Is there anyone back home who knows the tech?

00:29:01It's useless if no one knows how to use them.

00:29:03There's someone who's smart and learns fast.

00:29:05Your boyfriend?

00:29:08No, he's a partner.

00:29:10A partner, huh?

00:29:11Stop gossiping.

00:29:12Just continue with the technical points.

00:29:14First, always filter the water.

00:29:16Second, keep the main and branch drip lines separate.

00:29:18Third, no direct sunlight on the seedlings.

00:29:20Fourth, the soil is too compacted.

00:29:22It needs to be treated first.

00:29:23You have to teach them all of this.

00:29:31Why use three different pipes here?

00:29:36The main pipe brings the water.

00:29:38Branch pipes distribute it.

00:29:39And the thinnest drip tapes water the roots directly.

00:29:42Like military supply lines, main, branch, and end roots.

00:29:45Each has its own role.

00:29:47Exactly.

00:29:48You got it right.

00:29:49You learn really fast.

00:29:52The people's lives are at stake.

00:29:53I must be quick.

00:29:57This isn't regular soil.

00:29:59It's for seedlings.

00:30:00Seeds sprout in here first.

00:30:01We move them when they're stable.

00:30:02Like raising children indoors until they're strong enough.

00:30:05Pretty much.

00:30:06You ancients sure are poetic.

00:30:07You teach well, Miss Rivers.

00:30:09Anyway, next is the shade net.

00:30:12Hey.

00:30:13Hey.

00:30:14Hey.

00:30:22How does this cloth let light through?

00:30:25It's like glass, but softer.

00:30:27If we cover the seedlings with this, won't it smother them?

00:30:30It keeps them warm during the day and blocks the wind at night.

00:30:33But we need to leave vents for air.

00:30:38Miss Rivers said seedlings are sensitive to sudden temperature changes.

00:30:41We have to nurture them slowly.

00:30:42Young Lord, I don't understand all this, but I have strength.

00:30:45Just tell me where to build it.

00:30:46Today we build our first seedling greenhouse.

00:31:01Like a room full of new life.

00:31:04Miss Rivers said.

00:31:06If these grow well, they can cover ten acres.

00:31:09The people finally have hope.

00:31:15Be gentle.

00:31:17It's still small.

00:31:17My lady, will they grow into steamed buns?

00:31:22They'll turn into grain and the food in your bowl.

00:31:26You can't just dump water on it.

00:31:28It'll ruin the roots.

00:31:29Spray it gently like this.

00:31:30Oh my, the water turned to mist.

00:31:32Tiny seedlings can't take a heavy flow.

00:31:34So it's just like feeding a baby!

00:31:36Exactly.

00:31:37Just like feeding a baby.

00:31:38You can't shove a whole bun in.

00:31:42Why do you write everything down?

00:31:43You won't be here forever, Miss Rivers.

00:31:45Frontier Town has to learn this.

00:31:48You're right.

00:31:50What is it?

00:31:51I have no idea.

00:31:52It looks like a house, but let's light in.

00:31:54Ashford Manor grows seedlings in it.

00:31:55The locals now call it the Greenhouse Pavilion.

00:31:57Greenhouse Pavilion?

00:31:58My lord, should we send someone to burn it?

00:32:01It just caught the arsonists.

00:32:02If we set another fire now, are you trying to tell everyone I did it?

00:32:05Destroying things is easy.

00:32:06Destroying their faith is more useful.

00:32:08You mean...

00:32:09Make them doubt the pavilion themselves.

00:32:11Spread the word.

00:32:12Say this transparent evil pavilion sucks the Earth's energy.

00:32:15And next year, all of Frontier Town.

00:32:16This transparent evil pavilion will suck the Earth's energy.

00:32:19And not a single grain will grow in Frontier Town next year.

00:32:26Haven't you heard?

00:32:27You can't go near that clear pavilion.

00:32:29It sucks out your life force.

00:32:30Are you serious?

00:32:31My husband went to help build it yesterday.

00:32:33How else could those seedlings grow so fast?

00:32:34It must be feeding on people's lifespans.

00:32:36But those seedlings do look quite healthy.

00:32:38They look fine now.

00:32:39But who knows if they'll kill us later?

00:32:40Good.

00:32:41The more afraid, the better.

00:32:46Young lord, we have families at home.

00:32:49We don't dare touch this evil pavilion.

00:32:51My husband has had a headache since last night.

00:32:53Tell me, was his life force sucked out?

00:32:57Your headaches are mostly from the sun.

00:32:59It has absolutely nothing to do with this pavilion.

00:33:01But they said...

00:33:02Who are they?

00:33:02I dare them to step up and show their faces right now.

00:33:05This pavilion isn't some dark magic.

00:33:06It's used to retain heat.

00:33:08Look how hot it is outside.

00:33:09With the curtains drawn, it's not so glaring inside.

00:33:11And at night, when the temperature drops, it also blocks the wind.

00:33:14If you don't believe me, come check every day.

00:33:16See for yourselves if the seedlings here don't grow better.

00:33:18The numbers on this little stick change by themselves?

00:33:21It's used to measure temperature.

00:33:23If this pavilion really harms people, I, William Ashford, will be the first to stay in it tonight.

00:33:29Are you crazy?

00:33:30Don't make promises like that.

00:33:32They trust me.

00:33:33But you can't just use yourself as a guinea pig.

00:33:40You're really staying here.

00:33:42It's just one night.

00:33:43If it calms the people, it's worth it.

00:33:46Drink some hot water.

00:33:47Don't get your life force sucked dry by some magic pavilion only to catch a cold first.

00:33:51Thanks.

00:33:55I'll wait with you for a while.

00:33:57It's late, and the wind is strong.

00:33:59You'd better go back and rest.

00:34:01Hmph.

00:34:02Why?

00:34:02You get to guard your seedlings, but I can't protect my invention.

00:34:07Of course you can.

00:34:16The young lord is safe!

00:34:17He looks even better than he did yesterday.

00:34:20Uh, Miss Rivers was in there all night, too.

00:34:22I couldn't stay up.

00:34:23I only stayed for half the night.

00:34:24The seedlings are dead!

00:34:25Everyone, look!

00:34:26They're growing better than yesterday!

00:34:31Seeing is believing.

00:34:32Starting today, if you want to learn this method, come to the main nursery and register.

00:34:48Mr. Crow, the swap is done.

00:34:50After they work so hard and still can't grow a thing, the people will naturally think Miss Rivers is a

00:34:56fraud.

00:34:56That's not right.

00:34:57Young lord, Miss Rivers, we use the exact same method.

00:35:00Why is there no sign of sprouting here?

00:35:01The amount of water, the spacing of the seeds, we strictly followed the plans for all of it.

00:35:05This shouldn't be happening.

00:35:06These are bad seeds.

00:35:07They're completely empty inside.

00:35:08Bad seeds?

00:35:09But didn't you bring these seeds yourself, Miss?

00:35:11I would never bring garbage like this.

00:35:13Someone secretly swapped our seeds.

00:35:15Everyone, don't panic.

00:35:16Since they left the bad seeds behind, they can serve as evidence.

00:35:19Sir, please rope off this area and mark it.

00:35:21Make sure no one touches the soil here.

00:35:23Look into this at once.

00:35:24Anyone who had access to the seeds lately, question every single one of them.

00:35:27Their goal isn't just to ruin the fields.

00:35:29It's to completely ruin my credibility with the people.

00:35:32As long as I'm here, I won't let them succeed.

00:35:40My lord, this recording stone.

00:35:42Can it really capture a person's image in such perfect detail?

00:35:47Pause.

00:35:48Do you know this man?

00:35:50Looks like the porter from the west side, Charlie.

00:35:51He usually hauls goods for the grain merchants.

00:35:53Arrest him.

00:36:01What are you doing?

00:36:02When you swapped the seeds in the test field, you weren't this scared.

00:36:05I don't know what you mean, young lord.

00:36:07My lord, we found this under his bed.

00:36:10Who gave you this?

00:36:11Mercy, young lord.

00:36:12I just did it for the money.

00:36:13Mr. Lewis, the grain merchant, sent his men.

00:36:15They said if I just swapped a few bags, my family would survive.

00:36:17Who is behind Mr. Lewis?

00:36:19I'm too afraid to say.

00:36:21If you don't speak, you'll die for him right now.

00:36:23It's the Blackwell Estate.

00:36:24Mr. Crowe from the Blackwell Estate ordered me.

00:36:26Your Majesty, this is Ashford Manor's report on the frontier relief.

00:36:29The other is Lord Blackwell accusing them of witchcraft.

00:36:32Witchcraft to bewitch the people.

00:36:33It claims strange water and food have appeared, along with a transparent, airtight, demonic pavilion.

00:36:38The locals rumored that a fairy has descended.

00:36:40Hmph.

00:36:41Haha.

00:36:42If there really is a fairy in my realm, I should see her for myself.

00:36:45If it's a lie, it's treason.

00:36:47Send a royal inspector to Frontier Town at once.

00:36:49Find out the truth.

00:36:51See if Ashford Manor is truly focusing on relief, or plotting in the shadows.

00:36:55Yes, Your Majesty.

00:37:00So, this is the trial field from the report.

00:37:03Sir, there are indeed sprouts.

00:37:04Let's keep a low profile for now.

00:37:06Head straight to Ashford Manor.

00:37:14His Majesty ordered me to inspect Frontier Town's relief efforts.

00:37:18Young Lord Ashford offended the royal inspector.

00:37:20You're here on royal orders.

00:37:21Ashford Manor will fully cooperate.

00:37:23I heard someone in Frontier Town can summon water and food out of thin air.

00:37:26The rumors are exaggerated.

00:37:27Miss Rivers just knows some clever farming tricks.

00:37:29Hmph.

00:37:30Farming tricks can make a dry well produce water.

00:37:33The well wasn't entirely dry.

00:37:34There's still groundwater.

00:37:35It just takes a device to extract it.

00:37:36Where is this device?

00:37:37You'll see it for yourself, sir.

00:37:40What is this thing?

00:37:42How does this solar panel work?

00:37:45Sunlight hits the panel.

00:37:46It generates power to run the pump inside the well.

00:37:48No animals needed?

00:37:50No manpower?

00:37:51None.

00:37:52Ready?

00:37:54Started!

00:37:57Sir, this is exactly how the water is pumped up.

00:38:00Lord Inspector, this is no sorcery.

00:38:01We watch it every day.

00:38:02It hasn't hurt anyone.

00:38:03If this is widely used, the dry lands can be saved.

00:38:10He means trouble.

00:38:12Can't show any fear.

00:38:14You must be Miss Rivers.

00:38:16Yes.

00:38:17I hear you brought all those strange things out there.

00:38:20I suppose.

00:38:21Who is your master?

00:38:21Where are you from?

00:38:22Why haven't we seen you in Frontier Town?

00:38:24My family traded by sea.

00:38:26I learned some foreign farming and crafting methods.

00:38:27My family lost everything.

00:38:28I only have some old items and manuals left, and ended up here.

00:38:31Overseas?

00:38:31That's very far.

00:38:32Much further than Capital City.

00:38:33Miss Rivers keeps a low profile.

00:38:35She doesn't like to show off.

00:38:35But she is a rare talent with foreign skills.

00:38:37If not for the crisis in Frontier Town, Miss Rivers wouldn't have stepped in.

00:38:39You trust her, Lord Ashford?

00:38:40I trust the visible irrigation and the growing crops.

00:38:43And the surviving people.

00:38:45In that case, I must see these so-called crops for myself.

00:38:56Look, Inspector.

00:38:57The water doesn't flood the surface.

00:38:59Instead, it goes through these tiny holes straight to the roots.

00:39:01This saves a lot of water.

00:39:04Right at the roots, indeed.

00:39:05The surface is dry, but it's thriving underneath.

00:39:08This patch uses normal watering.

00:39:09That one uses drip irrigation.

00:39:11We'll compare the growth and water use later, and you'll see the difference.

00:39:15You set up comparison zones?

00:39:17Experiments need a control group.

00:39:19Experiment?

00:39:20Test fields.

00:39:21I mean, test fields.

00:39:23The young Lord understands this?

00:39:25Just a little.

00:39:26Miss Rivers taught me.

00:39:28Don't flatter me too much.

00:39:30I might fall.

00:39:30Just telling the truth.

00:39:39My Lord, how will you report the matters of this frontier town?

00:39:41The strange objects are indeed strange, but they are truly effective for disaster relief.

00:39:44What about the rumors of witchcraft outside?

00:39:46If it can save the people's lives, it shouldn't be lightly labeled as witchcraft.

00:39:49It's just that Miss Rivers' origins are unknown.

00:39:51She speaks nonsense.

00:39:53We still need to be cautious.

00:39:55Princess, His Majesty only sent the inspector.

00:39:57You sneaked along.

00:39:58If you're caught...

00:39:59I'm not here to cause trouble.

00:40:01I'm just curious who could make Father so mad he reads reports at midnight.

00:40:05I heard the air of Ashford Manor and a mysterious woman.

00:40:08William Ashford.

00:40:09I met him once as a child.

00:40:11He's quite an aloof guy.

00:40:16There's actually greenery in the frontier town.

00:40:23It's been years.

00:40:24He is still as proper as ever.

00:40:29Princess Charlotte.

00:40:30Princess.

00:40:32At ease.

00:40:33I just tagged along with the royal inspector.

00:40:36No need to be so formal.

00:40:37You must be Miss Rivers.

00:40:40Yes, your clothes are certainly different from the locals.

00:40:44My hometown has rather unique customs.

00:40:50It seems the young lord and Miss Rivers are quite close.

00:40:53Miss Rivers is an honored guest of the frontier town.

00:40:57Just an honored guest.

00:41:04Are you tired, Miss?

00:41:05I'm not.

00:41:05Go keep the princess company.

00:41:07Princess Charlotte came a long way.

00:41:08She is the ultimate honored guest.

00:41:10Why would I accompany her?

00:41:11Don't you know her?

00:41:13We met once at a banquet as kids.

00:41:15We're not close.

00:41:16Oh.

00:41:16You don't like me calling you an honored guest?

00:41:18No, honored guest is fine.

00:41:20It sounds expensive.

00:41:21Then I won't call you that anymore.

00:41:23Then what will you call me?

00:41:25How about Miss Emily?

00:41:28Up to you.

00:41:32This stuff isn't silk, glue, glass, or paper.

00:41:36Where did it come from?

00:41:37Are you suspicious, princess?

00:41:38Not suspicious of Miss Rivers, exactly.

00:41:40Just curious how someone as cautious as William Ashford could be so defenseless around her.

00:41:44Do you think the young lord likes her?

00:41:48If William Ashford liked someone, he probably wouldn't even know it himself.

00:41:53What about you, princess?

00:41:54I'd like to know, too.

00:41:55Does he care more about this frontier town?

00:41:58Or that Miss Rivers?

00:42:03Princess, is it really okay to follow the young lord like this?

00:42:07I'm just investigating.

00:42:14Oh, he's gone!

00:42:19How is that possible?

00:42:25Please stop, your grace.

00:42:27What exactly is this place?

00:42:29The lifeline of Frontier Town's disaster relief.

00:42:32So you're not going to let me in?

00:42:34I cannot.

00:42:37Are you keeping me out or protecting her?

00:42:42A bit of both.

00:42:46Please leave, Lady Charlotte.

00:43:04Is something wrong?

00:43:05Lady Charlotte found the entrance.

00:43:07Did she come in?

00:43:08No.

00:43:08I stopped her.

00:43:10Scared me to death.

00:43:10If she took one step inside and saw all the traffic out here, her worldview would shatter on the spot.

00:43:15Worldview?

00:43:16Her whole reality would just break.

00:43:17She's smart and won't give up easily.

00:43:19Then what do we do?

00:43:19If we really can't hide it, we'll have to let her in on the secret instead of making her an

00:43:22enemy.

00:43:22Why does your ancient disaster relief have to involve palace Rama and politics?

00:43:25I'm sorry for dragging you into this.

00:43:26Never mind.

00:43:26I'm already in the same boat anyway.

00:43:31I heard a while ago a young woman brought a nice silver ingot here.

00:43:35Why do you ask?

00:43:36I'm looking for goods for a collector.

00:43:38If she has more, we can negotiate a good price.

00:43:40She just has that one family heirloom.

00:43:42You believe that family heirloom excuse?

00:43:48If you remember anything, contact me.

00:43:50There's something in it for you.

00:44:02Are you Ms. Rivers?

00:44:05Who's asking?

00:44:06I'm Mr. Rowe.

00:44:06I invest in collectibles.

00:44:08I heard you have some old artifacts on hand.

00:44:10I want to talk business.

00:44:14Who told you that?

00:44:15Word travels fast in our circle.

00:44:17I'm sorry.

00:44:18I don't have any antiques.

00:44:19You've been buying a lot lately.

00:44:20Money must be getting tight, right?

00:44:21I can pay top dollar if you have goods.

00:44:23I said I don't.

00:44:24Don't be so quick to refuse.

00:44:25Holding items with unknown origins isn't very safe.

00:44:30Is that a warning or a threat?

00:44:32You're a smart woman, Ms. Rivers.

00:44:38Emi, who was that guy?

00:44:41Just selling investments.

00:44:43Do financial guys all look like villains now?

00:44:50Ms. Emily, did something happen here?

00:44:54Someone's after my gold and silver.

00:44:57Will they hurt you?

00:44:58Oh, we live in a society with laws.

00:44:59A legal society, understand?

00:45:01It's not as bad as you think.

00:45:02He just wants money.

00:45:02Though I don't understand your laws.

00:45:05What can I do?

00:45:06From now on, don't give me so many ingots at once.

00:45:09Try to break them into smaller pieces.

00:45:10Let's keep a low profile.

00:45:11I'll also figure out a way to deal with them through proper channels.

00:45:14We can't give them any leverage.

00:45:15Okay?

00:45:16If Frontier Town puts you in danger, I would never be at peace.

00:45:19Don't say that.

00:45:19Right now, it's not just your Frontier Town anymore.

00:45:24Ms. Rivers, if you agree to a long-term supply,

00:45:27the price I can offer three times the market price.

00:45:30Long-term supply?

00:45:32Mr. Rowe, do you think my ancestors' graves are a wholesale market?

00:45:35That I can just supply endless goods?

00:45:38You're so funny, Ms. Rivers.

00:45:45This contract states that for the source of all goods,

00:45:47I bear all the responsibilities, while you just receive them.

00:45:51Industry rules.

00:45:52And this clause.

00:45:53If any disputes arise later, I'll pay ten times in damages.

00:45:57Just to protect both our rights.

00:46:00This isn't a partnership.

00:46:02Mr. Rowe, this is a trap.

00:46:03A trap meant to bury me alive.

00:46:05Ms. Rivers, you might not have a better option.

00:46:07I checked your recent personal account statements.

00:46:10Your massive purchases are highly abnormal.

00:46:12If these things get reported to the authorities,

00:46:13you investigated me?

00:46:15I'm just reminding you.

00:46:16In this industry...

00:46:17Working with me...

00:46:18...is the safest choice for you.

00:46:29Emily.

00:46:30Been waiting long?

00:46:31Mr. Thompson.

00:46:34Is he a friend?

00:46:36Just talking business.

00:46:41You have the nerve to show this contract?

00:46:44Bullying a girl who doesn't know the law?

00:46:46Who are you?

00:46:47I'm the supplier for her agricultural project.

00:46:50And also...

00:46:50Witness to her charity supplies.

00:46:52If you want to report her, be my guest.

00:46:54I'll even join you to submit the purchase and shipping records.

00:46:56That's right.

00:46:57All my money went into buying relief supplies.

00:46:59The books are completely clear and open to any audit.

00:47:03Looks like today isn't a good time.

00:47:04Neither is any other time.

00:47:17Mr. Thompson, thank you so much for today.

00:47:19You messaged me saying you were in trouble.

00:47:21Of course I had to come.

00:47:22At first, I just wanted you to look at the contract for me.

00:47:25I really didn't expect him to be such a huge problem.

00:47:28Emily, what exactly are you doing behind the scenes?

00:47:31I won't ask, but you must remember.

00:47:33Things work differently here in modern times.

00:47:35Money, goods, accounts.

00:47:37These three things must be absolutely clean.

00:47:40There's no room for carelessness.

00:47:42I know.

00:47:43From now on, if you need to purchase anything,

00:47:44do it directly through the company.

00:47:46Formal contracts.

00:47:46I'll write the invoices for you myself.

00:47:48Stop finding those shady channels on your own.

00:47:50Okay, don't get touched too soon.

00:47:51If your plan isn't executed well, I'll still scold you.

00:47:54Got it, Professor Thompson?

00:47:59Young lord, the bugs are multiplying.

00:48:03Does this usually happen this time of year?

00:48:05In a normal year, we wouldn't worry.

00:48:07But this year, we have less land and fewer crops.

00:48:09If the bugs spread, the few seedlings we manage to plant

00:48:12won't survive being eaten.

00:48:15This is just the beginning.

00:48:17It'll be worse once the eggs hatch.

00:48:19Miss Emily, do you have a solution?

00:48:21I do, but we must act fast.

00:48:24Insect nets, bug lamps, and biopesticides.

00:48:26We need to set them all up right now.

00:48:29Pesticides?

00:48:31Won't that poison kill people too?

00:48:33Don't worry, sir.

00:48:34It's not highly toxic.

00:48:35It's a relatively safe biological agent.

00:48:37However, it must be used strictly in the right dosage.

00:48:40We absolutely can't spray it blindly.

00:48:43Pass down the order.

00:48:44Notify the heads of each field.

00:48:45Starting today, they must check for pests daily.

00:48:48No mistakes.

00:48:56To deal with large-scale pests, we can't just rely on spraying pesticides.

00:49:00It'll damage the soil in the long run.

00:49:03It's best to combine physical control with biological control.

00:49:07By physical control?

00:49:09Do you mean things like these insect nets and bug lamps?

00:49:12Right.

00:49:13There are also yellow sticky traps and pheromones.

00:49:16If there's no power over there, use these solar bug lamps.

00:49:20They charge during the day and turn on at night.

00:49:23I'll take them.

00:49:23Get me a batch.

00:49:24Ha ha ha.

00:49:25I knew you'd buy them all.

00:49:28The key is, this must be diluted exactly to scale.

00:49:31Too strong, it'll burn the seedlings.

00:49:33Too weak, it won't kill the bugs.

00:49:34I get it.

00:49:35Once I'm back, I'll write out a simple step-by-step guide and give it to them.

00:49:38Better to draw pictures.

00:49:39Many of the local farmers don't like to read.

00:49:41Pictures are the clearest.

00:49:44That's a very practical tip.

00:49:45You really know your stuff.

00:49:55Why is it so brightly colored?

00:49:57It's a yellow sticky trap.

00:49:59Many pests are naturally drawn to yellow.

00:50:01They love flying toward it.

00:50:02Once they fly over, the special glue on it traps them tight.

00:50:05I see.

00:50:06Luring pests with color.

00:50:07I guess that's one way to put it.

00:50:09Blunt, but accurate.

00:50:10But this is the key.

00:50:11This is a solar bug lamp.

00:50:12Hang it in the field at night.

00:50:13The special light it emits will attract all the nearby bugs, and they fall into the bottom box.

00:50:17You can kill bugs with just a lamp?

00:50:19Yes.

00:50:19Tonight I'll show you how it works in the field.

00:50:22Frontier Town has never seen such a farming method.

00:50:26If it didn't before, then start learning now.

00:50:33Look how weird the color of this lamp is.

00:50:35It's an eerie blue.

00:50:36Do you think it'll attract evil spirits?

00:50:38Mom, doesn't it look like a star from the sky fell into our field?

00:50:50Don't stand too close, everyone.

00:50:52Just watch from where you are.

00:50:56Bugs.

00:50:57They're actually flying to that weird lamp.

00:51:00My goodness.

00:51:01This glowing hunk of metal catches bugs even better than my blind cat.

00:51:05You'd better keep your voice down.

00:51:06If your cat heard you, he wouldn't be very happy.

00:51:08You always pull out things that catch everyone off guard.

00:51:12They're just tools.

00:51:14Tools can save lives, and they can change hearts, too.

00:51:18Your Grace came to investigate me.

00:51:20I did it first.

00:51:21But now I'm mostly curious to see what else you can do.

00:51:25I'm not a bad person.

00:51:26I can tell.

00:51:27A bad person wouldn't squat in the fields till midnight catching bugs.

00:51:31However, regarding your background, someone will eventually dig for the truth.

00:51:35When that day comes, have you thought about how you'll answer?

00:51:39Not yet.

00:51:49Mr. Crowe, they did it again.

00:51:51The people now trust Ashford Manor even more.

00:51:54They say Miss Rivers is a lifesaver.

00:51:57Just a few weird lamps.

00:51:59Lifesaver?

00:52:00Let them know she's the one who brought the bugs.

00:52:02Spread rumors?

00:52:03Not just rumors.

00:52:05Go collect bugs tomorrow and dump them into their fields.

00:52:08If this gets out of control, it'll ruin the whole town.

00:52:11Lord Blackwell wants chaos here, not its survival.

00:52:16Are we really dumping these into the fields?

00:52:17You're getting paid, so shut up.

00:52:18Shut up?

00:52:19But my family lives in the city.

00:52:20My family's in the city.

00:52:21What if a real plague hits?

00:52:22Back out now and you're dead.

00:52:32Arson at night.

00:52:34Releasing pests by day.

00:52:36Blackwell Estate really has no new tricks.

00:52:42The bugs got out.

00:52:44Don't panic.

00:52:45Close the insect nets first.

00:52:46Turn on all the bug lamps.

00:53:00Take them back for questioning.

00:53:14Look, it's the guards from Ashford Manor.

00:53:16They caught some spies.

00:53:27Listen up, folks.

00:53:28The bugs are here.

00:53:29Do you know why?

00:53:29It's all because of Emily the Miracle Worker.

00:53:31It's those weird lights and greenhouse pavilions.

00:53:33She disrespected the heavens and angered the gods.

00:53:35This is a divine punishment.

00:53:37Dear, are the bugs really multiplying?

00:53:39What are we going to do?

00:53:41Bullshit.

00:53:42Stop spreading your lies here.

00:53:43I saw it with my own eyes in the fields.

00:53:46Someone deliberately dumped bugs in our fields.

00:53:48That's right.

00:53:49Those sabotaging bastards were just caught by his lordship

00:53:51and paraded through the streets.

00:53:53You still trying to fool us?

00:53:54Look closely, folks.

00:53:55The bugs aren't a punishment from heaven.

00:53:57Someone with malicious intent

00:53:58secretly dumped them into the fields in bags.

00:54:01This is the proof.

00:54:08Whoever took the money to spread rumors

00:54:10and cause trouble here,

00:54:11step forward voluntarily today

00:54:12and I will show leniency.

00:54:14If you persist in this

00:54:15and disrupt Frontier Town's relief efforts,

00:54:16you'll be treated as rioters

00:54:17and executed without mercy.

00:54:19Mercy, young lord.

00:54:20It was Mr. Crow.

00:54:21Mr. Crow gave us the money

00:54:22to say these things.

00:54:40We have witnesses and evidence now.

00:54:42They set fires at night,

00:54:43secretly swapped the seeds,

00:54:44released pests by day,

00:54:45and even spread rumors in town.

00:54:46This is clearly sabotage of the relief efforts

00:54:48and a total disregard for human life.

00:54:50Please calm down, my lord.

00:54:51I hear they named Mr. Crow,

00:54:52but is there direct evidence

00:54:54against Lord Blackwell?

00:54:55I'm afraid not, sir.

00:54:56They're just low-level assassins

00:54:58or hired thugs.

00:54:59They have no access to the inner circle.

00:55:01Royal Inspector,

00:55:02Mr. Crow is Lord Blackwell's confidant,

00:55:04serving him for years,

00:55:04causing such chaos with fires and pests.

00:55:06All of this couldn't possibly be the work

00:55:08of a mere servant alone, right?

00:55:09Lady Charlotte makes a fair point,

00:55:11and I am well aware of it,

00:55:12but this is a serious matter

00:55:14involving a royal prince.

00:55:15To report this to the court,

00:55:17speculation is not enough.

00:55:18We still need iron-clad evidence.

00:55:20Your difficult position, Inspector.

00:55:21Ashford Manor understands.

00:55:23Without solid proof,

00:55:24we cannot act rashly.

00:55:25If the evidence isn't enough,

00:55:27then we'll keep looking.

00:55:28I'll turn this place upside down

00:55:30to drag the mastermind out.

00:55:33From now on,

00:55:34every field needs an inspection log.

00:55:36Who's in charge of which section,

00:55:37when to check for bugs,

00:55:38when to water,

00:55:39it all needs to be clear.

00:55:40Miss Rivers,

00:55:41how do we fill in these boxes?

00:55:43We don't know how to read.

00:55:45Put the date here.

00:55:47Draw the bugs here.

00:55:48If there are a lot,

00:55:49draw three circles.

00:55:50If just a few,

00:55:51draw one.

00:55:51You don't need to read

00:55:52to understand it.

00:55:54You're not just giving them supplies.

00:55:56You're teaching them a system.

00:55:57Supplies are for emergencies.

00:55:59Long-term survival takes management.

00:56:00I'll keep that in mind.

00:56:02You don't find me strange anymore,

00:56:04Your Grace?

00:56:05Still strange.

00:56:06But strange and useful

00:56:08aren't mutually exclusive.

00:56:14Recently,

00:56:15they burned fields,

00:56:16swapped seeds,

00:56:17released bugs,

00:56:18and spread rumors.

00:56:19They want to plunge Frontier Town

00:56:20back into despair.

00:56:21But you've all seen it.

00:56:22We can find water and grow food.

00:56:24We can stop the bugs.

00:56:25As long as we stay united.

00:56:27No one can ruin our livelihood.

00:56:29We will stay united!

00:56:30Whoever dares to destroy the fields,

00:56:32I'll be the first to stop them.

00:56:34Miss Rivers,

00:56:35I originally thought William

00:56:36was just protecting you.

00:56:38But now,

00:56:40now I know.

00:56:41He's protecting the hope you brought.

00:56:44Once hope is given,

00:56:46you can't just take it back.

00:57:04So Frontier Town

00:57:05really has water?

00:57:07Yes, Your Majesty.

00:57:07That is what the Royal Inspector

00:57:08wrote in the secret report.

00:57:10He claims the people

00:57:10saw it with their own eyes.

00:57:12Hmph.

00:57:12Lord Blackwell claims

00:57:13Ashford Manor is using witchcraft,

00:57:15but the Royal Inspector says

00:57:16the relief efforts are working.

00:57:17This Frontier Town

00:57:18is even livelier

00:57:19than the Capital Sea.

00:57:26Lord Blackwell has been submitting reports

00:57:28What do you mean, Your Majesty?

00:57:35I will go to Frontier Town

00:57:37to see for myself.

00:57:38Your Majesty's safety is paramount.

00:57:40Frontier Town is still in chaos.

00:57:42I'm afraid it's too dangerous.

00:57:43I'm afraid it's too dangerous.

00:57:44I'm afraid it's too dangerous.

00:57:44Precisely because it is in chaos.

00:57:45I must go.

00:57:47I want to see for myself

00:57:48if Ashford Manor is deceiving me.

00:57:52Or if someone wants Frontier Town dead.

00:58:03Father,

00:58:04if Lord Blackwell's men

00:58:06spot us on the way.

00:58:09You dared to go to Frontier Town alone,

00:58:12but now you are scared.

00:58:14You knew, Father?

00:58:16If I didn't even know

00:58:17where my own daughter went,

00:58:18how could I be the king?

00:58:23I apologize.

00:58:28You've met Miss Rivers.

00:58:30What do you think of her?

00:58:31She has a strange background,

00:58:32but she's not a bad person.

00:58:33Her desire to help is genuine.

00:58:35That doesn't mean

00:58:36she isn't hiding something.

00:58:38But if she didn't hide it,

00:58:39I doubt anyone would believe her.

00:58:45His Majesty has left the Capital City.

00:58:47He's heading to Frontier Town.

00:58:50Inspector Lady Charlotte,

00:58:51and now the king.

00:58:52They're all going to Frontier Town.

00:58:54The Ashfords are quite capable.

00:58:56My lord,

00:58:57should we...

00:58:58If the king sees Frontier Town getting better...

00:59:02We could strike on the road.

00:59:04I'll have the man.

00:59:05Fool!

00:59:06If we strike on the road,

00:59:08all suspicion will fall on me.

00:59:13Have the assassins strike in Frontier Town

00:59:15and frame Ashford Manor.

00:59:17We'll say the Ashfords

00:59:18used the witch to deceive the people

00:59:19and plot a rebellion.

00:59:21Understood.

00:59:22If the king dies in Frontier Town,

00:59:24the Ashfords won't be able

00:59:25to defend themselves.

00:59:34Your Majesty.

00:59:38Rise.

00:59:39I am here incognito.

00:59:41Don't alarm the people.

00:59:42I recall the report saying

00:59:44Frontier Town had a three-year drought.

00:59:47Yes.

00:59:48Things have only just begun to improve.

00:59:51This improvement...

00:59:52Is it Ashford Manor's doing,

00:59:55or that Miss Rivers?

00:59:56It's the people working together to survive.

01:00:00Miss Rivers showed us how.

01:00:06Take me to see it.

01:00:19Miss Emily.

01:00:20Our guests are here.

01:00:22Just a second.

01:00:23Let me just finish logging this data.

01:00:35And who is this?

01:00:38My father.

01:00:43Pleased to meet you, sir.

01:00:47So you are Emily Rivers?

01:00:51Yes.

01:00:52Did you teach them all this?

01:00:55It wasn't just me.

01:00:56I only provided the tools and methods.

01:00:58They're the ones doing the real work, sir.

01:01:00Miss Rivers is amazing.

01:01:01She taught us to let the water

01:01:02drip into the soil drop by drop,

01:01:04and the seedlings survived.

01:01:05And that bug-catching lamp!

01:01:06It's a magic tool!

01:01:09It works better than a cat!

01:01:14The people's hearts are true.

01:01:36Watch out!

01:02:05William, don't move!

01:02:10I'm fine.

01:02:12Shut up!

01:02:13Do you ancient people only say,

01:02:15I'm fine?

01:02:17Quick, let's get back to the manor.

01:02:22That was a close call.

01:02:24It's finally over.

01:02:25Hang in there.

01:02:26We're almost there.

01:02:33Miss Rivers, what are these?

01:02:35Disinfectant, to stop the bleeding.

01:02:36Bandages.

01:02:37Take your shirt off one shoulder.

01:02:38Seriously, at a time like this?

01:02:39Still worrying about modesty?

01:02:40You want an infection?

01:02:44Tell me if it hurts.

01:02:45I can bear it.

01:02:46You always say that.

01:02:48We don't even have these in the palace.

01:02:50But she's saving him.

01:02:53Keep it dry for two days.

01:02:54Don't strain yourself.

01:02:55Change the bandages regularly.

01:02:56And tell me if you get a fever.

01:02:57All right.

01:02:58If you had reacted a second slower.

01:03:00His Majesty must be safe,

01:03:01and so must you.

01:03:01You protected His Majesty, not me.

01:03:02You were behind me, too.

01:03:05Miss Rivers, I have a question.

01:03:07You mean these medicines and tools.

01:03:09Where are they from?

01:03:10Your Majesty, I can save lives,

01:03:12but I can't tell the whole truth yet.

01:03:13You dare say can't to me?

01:03:15If I told you, you might not believe me.

01:03:16And if you don't, I might end up dead.

01:03:18At least you're honest.

01:03:19I'm just out of excuses.

01:03:25Any assassins left alive?

01:03:26We caught two.

01:03:26Being interrogated now.

01:03:27Hmph.

01:03:28If Ashford Manor arranged this,

01:03:29you'd be incredibly foolish

01:03:30to let the young lord get hurt saving me.

01:03:32I wouldn't dare.

01:03:32Who do you think it is?

01:03:33Whoever fears you seeing Frontier Town recover

01:03:35is the prime suspect.

01:03:36Then, investigate Lord Blackwell.

01:03:38Dig until he has nowhere to hide.

01:03:39Yes, Your Majesty.

01:03:44I've never seen any of these things before.

01:03:46Because they come from very far away.

01:03:48Overseas.

01:03:49Even farther.

01:03:50So far, it can't be said.

01:03:51Telling you would bring you big trouble.

01:03:52Afraid I'll take your things?

01:03:53And afraid people will fight for power over them.

01:03:55Be it water pumps, strip irrigation, or medicine,

01:03:57they're all just tools.

01:03:57What really matters is how to use them.

01:03:59If everyone only focuses on the novelties,

01:04:00Frontier Town still can't be saved.

01:04:01You aren't an immortal.

01:04:02No, I can't summon the weather,

01:04:03or turn stone into gold.

01:04:04I just happen to know some methods

01:04:05that you don't know about yet.

01:04:06Then why help Frontier Town?

01:04:07For the money, at first.

01:04:09But then I saw they'd really die.

01:04:10I couldn't just treat it like a business.

01:04:12Doing it for money,

01:04:13rather than divine fate, is more believable.

01:04:15Take me to the fields.

01:04:20This is the inspection log.

01:04:21Who waters the crops?

01:04:22Who checks for bugs?

01:04:22Who keeps the records?

01:04:23It's all clear.

01:04:23Some people can't read.

01:04:24So I have them draw bugs and water drops,

01:04:26as long as they understand it.

01:04:27When the court sends disaster relief,

01:04:28silver is often sent down,

01:04:28but it never reaches the people.

01:04:29Because the process isn't tracked,

01:04:30and no one supervises the execution.

01:04:31Handing out supplies is just the start.

01:04:32Management is the real key.

01:04:33Sounds like you are lecturing me.

01:04:33I'm not, but it makes sense.

01:04:34It does make sense.

01:04:36Emily, it grew taller.

01:04:38Great.

01:04:39Log two water drops today.

01:04:40And one sun.

01:04:45She's hiding something,

01:04:46but she means no harm.

01:04:47Even harmless secrets can get you killed.

01:04:50What will you do with her?

01:04:53Nothing for now.

01:04:54Frontier Town needs her,

01:04:55but her secrets must stay under my watch.

01:04:57Father?

01:04:57At least, not right now.

01:04:59The assassination failed.

01:05:01William Ashford saved him.

01:05:02I deserve to die.

01:05:05Calm down, my lord.

01:05:06His majesty already suspects me.

01:05:08If we drag this on,

01:05:09I'll be the one dead.

01:05:10What's the next step?

01:05:11Granary, waterworks,

01:05:12and test fields in Frontier Town.

01:05:13Those three places are their lifelines.

01:05:14Destroying one causes a stir.

01:05:15Destroying all three

01:05:16will plunge Frontier Town into chaos.

01:05:17But his majesty is still there.

01:05:18Exactly.

01:05:19When rioters storm Ashford Manor,

01:05:20his majesty will be in danger,

01:05:21and the Ashford family

01:05:21will fail to protect him.

01:05:22By then,

01:05:23the whole kingdom will be mine.

01:05:23I'll send troops to quell the rebellion.

01:05:25It will be perfectly justified.

01:05:26I'll make the arrangements now.

01:05:33We can't just torch the granary.

01:05:35Light the haystacks first.

01:05:37The wind will blow the flames right in.

01:05:38It'll cause a scene.

01:05:39It'll get out of hand.

01:05:40That's exactly what we want.

01:05:43You're not fully healed yet.

01:05:44No staying up late.

01:05:45Just for a little bit.

01:05:45Not even for a bit.

01:05:46Miss Emily is stricter

01:05:47than the military doctor.

01:05:48Would the military doctor give you an IV?

01:05:48Would they give you a waterproof dressing?

01:05:49No.

01:05:50So listen to me.

01:05:52Something's wrong.

01:05:53I'm going with you.

01:05:54It's dangerous.

01:05:55If I don't go,

01:05:56you won't even know

01:05:56how to use the fire extinguishers.

01:06:00We don't have enough water.

01:06:02The fire is too big.

01:06:03Everyone, step back.

01:06:04Don't spray it at people.

01:06:05Listen to Miss Rivers.

01:06:06Everyone, fall back.

01:06:07The fire is out.

01:06:08Is this white mist magic?

01:06:11It's not magic.

01:06:12It's a fire extinguisher.

01:06:17It's arson.

01:06:23Block the breach.

01:06:24My lord, the current's too strong.

01:06:25We can't plug it at all.

01:06:26Capture them alive

01:06:26and guard them closely.

01:06:27Don't force it.

01:06:28Divert the flow first.

01:06:29Channel the water

01:06:29into the empty ditch

01:06:29to reduce pressure.

01:06:30Then fix the gate.

01:06:31Do as she says.

01:06:31Hurry.

01:06:33The horses are trampling the field.

01:06:35Quick, stop them.

01:06:36Stop the horses.

01:06:36Protect the crops.

01:06:37The seedlings.

01:06:38Oh my god.

01:06:39They were supposed to save us.

01:06:40Don't cry, sir.

01:06:41We must protect what's left.

01:06:43The damage isn't too bad.

01:06:44The roots are still intact.

01:06:45We can still replant.

01:06:45Can we really?

01:06:46Yes.

01:06:46As long as we don't panic,

01:06:47the fields can be saved.

01:06:55Open it.

01:06:56Overnight, granaries, canals,

01:06:57and test fields were hit at once.

01:06:58Your majesty,

01:06:59with such scale and tactics,

01:07:00this was no ordinary mob.

01:07:01It must be premeditated.

01:07:02Your majesty,

01:07:02after interrogating all night,

01:07:03the captive broke and confessed.

01:07:04Hmm.

01:07:04Mr. Crow again.

01:07:05Father, Mr. Crow is merely a pawn.

01:07:07They are cutting off the lifeline

01:07:07of the entire city.

01:07:08It's the murder of an entire city.

01:07:09I, I'm done talking.

01:07:10You're right.

01:07:11This is the confession

01:07:12of Blackwell Estate

01:07:13raising a private army.

01:07:14Pass on my secret decree.

01:07:15Seal all the secret granaries

01:07:16of Blackwell Estate

01:07:16in Frontier Town immediately.

01:07:18William Ashford,

01:07:18you lead the men

01:07:18to search them yourself.

01:07:19Leave nothing behind.

01:07:20Yes, your majesty.

01:07:26Young lord, look here.

01:07:27It's all grain.

01:07:28The people of Frontier Town

01:07:29starved for so long,

01:07:30trading their own children for food.

01:07:31And he,

01:07:31he actually hoarded

01:07:32all this grain here.

01:07:33It's not just grain.

01:07:34This bears the secret mark

01:07:35of the Armory Bureau.

01:07:36Standard armor and weapons

01:07:36for a private army.

01:07:37Young lord, there's a ledger.

01:07:39Grain price changes over the years.

01:07:40Secret accounts of bribing merchants.

01:07:41Expenses for hiring porters.

01:07:42Every transaction is recorded here.

01:07:43Mr. Crow is just a front.

01:07:45Every transaction here

01:07:46leads back to Blackwell Estate.

01:07:48The evidence is solid.

01:07:49With this,

01:07:49my father can order

01:07:50his arrest right away.

01:07:51Lord Blackwell has bided

01:07:52his time for years.

01:07:52He won't go down without a fight.

01:07:53If cornered,

01:07:54he might do something desperate.

01:07:57My lord, bad news.

01:07:58The secret cache.

01:07:59It's been raided

01:07:59along with all the ledgers inside.

01:08:00They found them all.

01:08:01His majesty has finally made his move.

01:08:03They have all the evidence now.

01:08:03What do we do now?

01:08:05What else can we do?

01:08:06The battle for the throne

01:08:07has always been a game

01:08:07of winner takes all.

01:08:09We will raise army.

01:08:09If his majesty dies here

01:08:10in this remote frontier town,

01:08:12I will be the hero

01:08:12who quelled the rebellion.

01:08:14But if he returns

01:08:14to the capital city alive,

01:08:16I will be nothing but a prisoner

01:08:17awaiting death

01:08:17since it's come to this.

01:08:18I might as well gamble

01:08:19the entire empire.

01:08:20But my lord,

01:08:21the people are grateful

01:08:22for the relief.

01:08:22Their hearts are with Ashford Manor.

01:08:24Hmm.

01:08:25The people.

01:08:26They fear hunger,

01:08:27but they fear blades too.

01:08:28Once my private army arrives,

01:08:30with swords at their necks,

01:08:31they'll know exactly

01:08:32who to bow to.

01:08:36Ms. Rivers,

01:08:36we received a tip

01:08:37that you're running

01:08:38an unlicensed warehouse

01:08:39and your recent cash flow

01:08:40is highly suspicious.

01:08:41Please cooperate

01:08:41with our investigation.

01:08:42Damn,

01:08:42my massive orders

01:08:43finally drew their attention.

01:08:44Sir,

01:08:44you've misunderstood.

01:08:45These supplies are all

01:08:46for charity donations.

01:08:47Every single purchase

01:08:47has a proper contract

01:08:48and invoice.

01:08:49You can check them.

01:08:49If it's for charity,

01:08:50then please provide

01:08:51the delivery records,

01:08:53official letters

01:08:54from the receivers,

01:08:55and shipping receipts.

01:08:56With this massive amount

01:08:57of goods,

01:08:58who exactly is receiving them

01:08:59and where are they being sent?

01:09:00Sir, sir,

01:09:01please listen to me.

01:09:02Emmy is definitely

01:09:02not a bad person.

01:09:03She's just been so busy

01:09:04with charity work,

01:09:05she probably missed

01:09:05some paperwork.

01:09:06Ma'am,

01:09:06we don't judge

01:09:06personal character.

01:09:07We are just inspecting

01:09:08according to the law.

01:09:08Without legal proof of delivery,

01:09:09these supplies must be

01:09:10temporarily seized.

01:09:10The two timelines

01:09:11couldn't stay separate forever.

01:09:13I guess my cover here

01:09:14is finally blown.

01:09:19Mr. Thompson,

01:09:20I think I'm being audited.

01:09:21Don't panic.

01:09:21I have all the contracts

01:09:22and invoices.

01:09:23The only problem now

01:09:24is where the supplies went.

01:09:25That I can't explain.

01:09:26Emily,

01:09:26I haven't asked until now,

01:09:27but now you have to tell me.

01:09:28At least tell me

01:09:29how big the risk is.

01:09:29Oh, God.

01:09:30How do I even explain

01:09:31this fantasy to him?

01:09:31If I told you I sent them

01:09:32to a place you could never reach,

01:09:34would you believe me?

01:09:34The mountains?

01:09:34A war zone?

01:09:35Way crazier than that.

01:09:36Fine,

01:09:37if you can't tell me,

01:09:37I'll list it as civilian aid

01:09:38to a remote area

01:09:39and prep the documents.

01:09:40But remember,

01:09:40we can't fake the paperwork

01:09:41and break the law.

01:09:42Also,

01:09:43stop making large transfers

01:09:44with your personal account.

01:09:45Close your shop for now

01:09:45and lay low.

01:09:46Close my shop?

01:09:47It barely does any business anyway.

01:09:53Trouble here in modern times, too?

01:09:54Someone reported me.

01:09:55The shop might get shut down

01:09:56and the supply transport

01:09:57will be closely watched.

01:09:58Frontier Town dragged you down.

01:09:59Not entirely.

01:10:00I just didn't think it through

01:10:01from the start

01:10:02on how to cover my tracks

01:10:02on both sides.

01:10:03If you walk away now,

01:10:05I wouldn't blame you.

01:10:06What did you say?

01:10:07Frontier Town is dangerous

01:10:08and so is modern times.

01:10:09You never should have been

01:10:09dragged into these

01:10:10life-or-death situations.

01:10:11William Ashford,

01:10:12are you looking down on me

01:10:13or are you looking down on me?

01:10:14After moving all that water,

01:10:15I'm allowed to be scared.

01:10:16But I, Emily Rivers,

01:10:17will never quit halfway.

01:10:21What's going on?

01:10:23We can't go through?

01:10:27It stays open for less time.

01:10:29I've tested it

01:10:29these past few days.

01:10:30Something's wrong with the door.

01:10:32We might not have

01:10:32much time left.

01:10:33The more we move,

01:10:34the more unstable it gets.

01:10:35Maybe this portal just can't

01:10:36handle heavy loads

01:10:37of supplies anymore.

01:10:37If the door closes.

01:10:39We might never see

01:10:39each other again.

01:10:40Never seen you again

01:10:41feels colder than any blade.

01:10:43How long do we have?

01:10:44I don't know.

01:10:44Maybe a few days.

01:10:45Maybe a month.

01:10:45But no matter what,

01:10:46we absolutely can't keep

01:10:47moving things on a massive scale

01:10:48like before.

01:10:49Then Frontier Town must become

01:10:49self-sufficient ASAP.

01:10:50So the final batch of supplies

01:10:51must be the most crucial ones.

01:10:52Seeds, medicine, tools, tech, blueprints.

01:10:54We should bring fewer consumables.

01:10:55All right.

01:10:56All right, William.

01:10:57We need to prepare for the worst.

01:10:58I don't like preparing for that.

01:11:01Me neither.

01:11:06Listen up.

01:11:07Starting today,

01:11:07every single step on here

01:11:08must be thoroughly learned by someone.

01:11:09Seedling breeding, drip irrigation,

01:11:10pump repair, pest control, grain storage.

01:11:12You can't just rely on the young lord in me.

01:11:13Miss Rivers, are you leaving us?

01:11:15I was never from here anyway.

01:11:16But Frontier Town needs you.

01:11:17Miss Rivers!

01:11:17What can truly save this town

01:11:18isn't how often I visit.

01:11:19But that one day, even if I'm gone,

01:11:20the crops and this land will survive.

01:11:28Ashford Manor has bewitched the king,

01:11:29colluding with a witch

01:11:30to ruin Frontier Town.

01:11:31Today I shall purge the king's court.

01:11:33Destroy the witch and purge the court.

01:11:34Destroy the witch!

01:11:36We've cut off their water supply.

01:11:37Our inside men at the granary are ready.

01:11:38Surround Redmond House first,

01:11:39then secure the city gates.

01:11:40If the king agrees to write the edict,

01:11:42spare his life.

01:11:42If he refuses, report.

01:11:44Lord Blackwell's army is approaching the gates.

01:11:45Report.

01:11:46The East Canal is cut off.

01:11:47The fields have no water.

01:11:47Report.

01:11:48Inside men spotted at the granary.

01:11:49Purging the court.

01:11:50Indeed.

01:11:51Your majesty, please hide in the secret room.

01:11:54I will not.

01:11:55I want to see how many heads

01:11:56Lord Blackwell has to lose.

01:11:58Miss Emily,

01:11:59are you going back to modern times?

01:12:00War is coming here.

01:12:01I know.

01:12:01That's why I brought these.

01:12:07Are these...

01:12:09The last batch.

01:12:11The portal is collapsing.

01:12:16Right.

01:12:17Look at the screen.

01:12:17Archers on the left.

01:12:18Troops on the right.

01:12:19And a battering ram in the middle.

01:12:20Archers, target the right.

01:12:21Prepare oil at the center left.

01:12:22Let them get closer before firing.

01:12:23Yes, sir.

01:12:24I only ever used this to shoot breakfast promos before.

01:12:26Today, it's saving the city.

01:12:28Miss Rivers told us,

01:12:29divert the flow first.

01:12:31Then fix the gates.

01:12:32Follow the drawing.

01:12:33She taught us for so long.

01:12:34Just so we could do it ourselves, right?

01:12:36Find the side ditch first.

01:12:37Don't just block it.

01:12:42We really did it.

01:12:45Fire!

01:12:45What is that light?

01:12:49They're flanking the west wall.

01:12:51West wall ambush.

01:12:53Go.

01:12:54Useless fools!

01:12:55Keep attacking!

01:12:58Press down right here.

01:12:59Keep the pressure on.

01:13:00It helps with heavy bleeding.

01:13:01Bandage them first.

01:13:02Minor injuries line up over there.

01:13:04I've never done anything like this before.

01:13:05But now I know how.

01:13:06You always do this.

01:13:07Pushing everyone to learn how to survive.

01:13:09I'm not pushing.

01:13:10We just have no choice.

01:13:11We all have to hold on.

01:13:13Step aside.

01:13:14Lord Blackwell has orders to put down the rebellion.

01:13:15Disobey and be executed.

01:13:16Bullshit!

01:13:17Burning our grain and cutting our water is the real rebellion!

01:13:19We grew this grain with our own sweat and our own blood.

01:13:22Nobody is destroying it!

01:13:24Protect the granary!

01:13:28Brother, you've been blinded by that witch and the Ashford family.

01:13:31They are the real traitors!

01:13:33Hmph!

01:13:33I saw the people farming, fixing canals, and guarding grain with my own eyes.

01:13:36And you say they're all demons?

01:13:36Those strange items have an unknown origin.

01:13:38The Ashford family is using them to buy the people's loyalty.

01:13:39Is that not a plot to rebel?

01:13:40If saving the people is a plot, then what about Lord Blackwell burning grain and cutting

01:13:42water, completely ignoring the suffering of the people?

01:13:43Monopolizing grain roots, embezzlement and fraud, hiring assassins, burning the grain.

01:13:48Lord Blackwell, the evidence is undeniable.

01:13:50What do you have to say?

01:13:54Take him away.

01:13:59We held it, father.

01:14:01The town is safe.

01:14:03I finally feel like I've actually fought in a war.

01:14:06You're braver than most.

01:14:08Stop flattering me, my legs are shaking.

01:14:13You saved Frontier Town and secured my borders.

01:14:18I just did what I had to do.

01:14:22I can offer you a title, an estate, and wealth.

01:14:26Stay in the capital city to help with farming.

01:14:28Thank you for your generosity, your majesty.

01:14:30But I have somewhere else I need to return to.

01:14:32You are going back to Frontier Town?

01:14:34No, back to my own place.

01:14:40You don't want to accept his majesty's offer?

01:14:43If I accept, I'll have to stay here.

01:14:45But I always feel like I don't belong here.

01:14:49If you leave, will you be able to come back?

01:14:51The door is getting more and more unstable.

01:14:53I don't know either.

01:14:54Then while we can still see each other, let's say what needs to be said.

01:14:58Like what?

01:15:01Like, I don't want you to go.

01:15:03You, why do you always say things like this when I'm not ready?

01:15:14I thought you would stay.

01:15:16I thought his majesty would force me to stay.

01:15:19He wouldn't.

01:15:20The Frontier is safe now.

01:15:22Your value goes beyond a royal decree.

01:15:24Your grace doesn't mind me and William?

01:15:26If I minded, I wouldn't have covered for you at the Frontier.

01:15:29For a man like William, falling in love isn't easy.

01:15:33If you like him too, don't play dumb for too long.

01:15:44The door looks even smaller today.

01:15:47It is.

01:15:56If the door really closes one day, what will you do?

01:15:58I'll guard Frontier Town.

01:16:00What about me?

01:16:02You go back to your own life.

01:16:04He's always like this, taking all the burdens and goodbyes on himself.

01:16:08You make it sound so easy.

01:16:15It's not worth much, but it's what I have to give you.

01:16:20I have something for you too.

01:16:27What's this?

01:16:30A souvenir from my breakfast shop.

01:16:32Take it.

01:16:33Don't forget I still sell buns at my shop.

01:16:38I won't.

01:16:47You've seemed a bit off lately.

01:16:50Probably just tired.

01:16:52Is the relief project over?

01:16:59Pretty much.

01:17:00If you do similar projects later, make sure to use official channels.

01:17:03I can help get you some charity resources.

01:17:05Thank you, Mr. Thompson.

01:17:07And don't carry it all by yourself.

01:17:09Just ask if you really need help.

01:17:11Yeah, I will.

01:17:13At least someone here is willing to give me a hand.

01:17:20We can finally have a decent winter this year.

01:17:23You earned this yourselves.

01:17:25It didn't just fall from the sky.

01:17:27If Miss Rivers could see this, she would be so happy.

01:17:32Young lord, can we really trade this wheat for bread?

01:17:36Yes.

01:17:37And it'll pay for your tuition next year too.

01:17:47Finally, looks like a proper breakfast shop.

01:17:51How did you get here?

01:17:53The portals stayed open longer this morning.

01:17:55You actually came.

01:17:56I said I'd always come find you.

01:18:00Is this the very first bag of flour from Frontier Town?

01:18:03I wanted you to be the first to taste it.

01:18:07You know what?

01:18:08I thought you'd stay there and be a hero.

01:18:10I'd rather be the man who gets to see you.

01:18:13Alright, stop sweet-talking.

01:18:15Go wash your hands first.

01:18:17Get ready to knead the dough.

01:18:29Emi, are you really dating someone this time?

01:18:32Aunt May, don't say that.

01:18:33This young man is really handsome.

01:18:35He just looks a bit familiar.

01:18:36Like he walked out of a TV show.

01:18:38Hello there.

01:18:39Very polite too.

01:18:46You don't look like you know how to cook.

01:18:48Then I'll learn.

01:18:50Okay, I'll teach you.

01:18:51You don't look like you know how to cook.

01:18:53You don't look like you know how to cook.

01:18:54You don't look like you know how to cook.
