Chapter 180 180. Barley Magic Plant, Fundamental Change
Because these cattail civets are indeed useful, Croya generously built a cattery for them using crystals.
By the way, some magic crystals that can replenish magic power and liquid magic power produced by magic veins were put inside.
This is enough for magic plants. Their requirements are far less than those of Warcraft. To this extent, it is already very suitable for them.
After seeing this cattery, the cattail cats couldn't wait to float in, each occupying their favorite position, and huddled together peacefully.
From time to time, he would say "meow, meow, meow", with unconcealable joy and excitement in his voice.
Looks like a bunch of blue cat dumplings.
Obviously they are planning to wait here to give birth.
To be honest, Croya really wanted to see how these magic plants were produced, but there was still something to do.
He could only ask Mu Yaoqu Vine King to come here and use it as a camera, and then wait to watch the broadcast and watch them give birth to cattail civets.
He also wanted to see Estner.
After all, he is a guest from afar. Although he excuses himself that he has something to do, he can't just leave him there.
Besides, he also has to prepare to transform the Magic Field, so he needs to communicate with Estner.
Farming is not done behind closed doors. Other lords will not be willing to exchange these most basic and fundamental knowledge with him.
He urgently needs to add some basic knowledge about the cultivation of magic plants in this world - he has basically finished studying what the original owner had in mind.
As for the application of these toxins, he planned to leave it to Rob - the dead soldiers he trained would definitely use this stuff.
Wait until the wind and snow subsides and release all the dead soldiers.
……
The outside world.
Hanjiao Island.
Where Poseidon barley is grown.
At this time, the Poseidon barley planting area has occupied a full one hundred acres of land, and it has also undergone a second transformation. Even in the windy and snowy environment, the barley is still standing upright.
Elena, the Son of Harvest, is leading the other Sons of Harvest to perform routine blessings and ripening of the barley.
I don’t know if it’s because of their regular ripening and blessing, but the barley grows taller and taller. It used to be half a person tall, but now it’s more than a person tall.
The plump wheat ears are so heavy that they are about to fall.
To be honest, the one hundred acres of wheat fields look very shocking, and the violent wind and snow cannot bring them down.
This feeling of harvest is irresistible to anyone who likes farming.
“These Poseidon barley are growing well.”
Estner personally entered the field, carefully inspected it, and even picked off an ear and twisted it to look at it.
There are extremely plump wheat grains inside.
He tasted it and it tasted pretty good.
During this process, Robb kept looking at him with a smile and said nothing. After all, Croya had already given the order. Except for a few special ones, all the magic plants on the island could be given to him. He looked.
Elena and several other Sons of Harvest looked at him, speeded up to bless the wheat seedlings, and left quickly.
To be honest, they don’t believe anyone except Croya now.
Of course, Estner didn't pay attention to them.
He has met many Sons of Harvest, and has no feelings for these people, because as a somewhat traditional magician, he does not trust these guys who have been blessed by the gods.
After tasting the wheat ears, he nodded:
“I didn’t expect Croya to think of such a way.”
Then, he looked at the flowing water around him. Looking at the flowing sea water and the Mu Yaoqu Vine King acting as a pipe, his eyes stayed on the latter for a few seconds longer.
He had long noticed this strange vine.
As a third-level battle mage, his mental power is very sharp and he can detect subtle changes in the surrounding environment.
These jade-like vines are almost everywhere on the island. He doesn't think they are just growing lushly, they should have other functions.
If you think about it for a moment, it is nothing more than surveillance, spying, and protection.
He felt that he had to remind Croya that these things were a bit too conspicuous and could easily be discovered if they were not hidden.
And...
He lowered his head and glanced at the wheat field, with a flash of helplessness in his eyes.
'It's good, but it's too clean. I need to talk to Croya about it...'
While thinking, he suddenly heard a familiar voice——
"What are you thinking about? How about my wheat field?"
Kloya fell from the sky and landed just outside the wheat field.
"Oh, you're here just in time."
Estner waved to Croya: "Look here, can you change something?"
He pointed The soil covered by sea water at the bottom of the wheat field said seriously: "In the beginning, Poseidon Barley actually didn't like sea water. Later, they were pushed towards the sea step by step, and finally took root on the seaside.
So they are the most popular. What I like most is the sand washed by the ocean.
But my friend, the soil here is all from the land. Although it is also very crumbly, it is probably not as good as the sand in the sea.”
Kloya. It suddenly dawned on me.
“Yes, I forgot about it.”
At that time, I was just thinking about ways to plant them on the island, without considering the environment at all.
Coupled with the fact that Harvest Sons have been taking care of them, these barleys are growing really well, so I don’t care about this little detail.
And to be honest, he has been growing these barley as rice...
"Fortunately, you reminded me." Croya immediately ordered Rob: "Let people get some sand from the seaside. When this batch of barley matures, replace the soil underneath them."
"Okay." Rob bowed slightly and prepared to leave.
"Don't worry, don't worry, there is one more thing." Estner stopped Rob from leaving, "There are many kinds of tiny algae and sea creatures in the ocean. I see... there seems to be nothing here? "
As a master of magic plant planting theory, Estner has read many books, not to mention that he gave Poseidon Barley to Croya.
Of course he knows what the best environment is for these magic plants to grow.
Hearing what he said, Croya said strangely:
"Microorganisms, you mean algae, right?"
"Yes."
Cloya thought for a while and asked: "What is the function of these algae? Can they help purify the water, or will they become nutrients for Poseidon barley?"
In his hometown in his previous life It is true that some crabs and small fish are stocked in rice fields, which is a method that combines planting and breeding.
But that was to allow the crabs and fish to eat weeds and some pests, but he didn't need it here at all. With the care of the Harvest Sons, there were no pests in the entire wheat field.
As for weeds... there are none.
Not to mention how weeds grow in this saline-alkali environment after being submerged by sea water.
The farm servants all regard this field as their lifeline and take care of it carefully. If there is anything like seaweed mixed in, it will be picked out immediately.
There are no pests or weeds, so why put algae?
"..."
Estner was silent for a while and said speechlessly: "My friend, have you forgotten the magic environment?"
He pointed This huge wheat field: "The ocean environment itself is changeable, especially the algae that contain magic. They will emit their own magic and change the surrounding environment.
Poseidon Barley has a strong adaptability, but It is this adaptability that makes them have to stay in a magical and changeable environment.
Although you have arranged a very comfortable and comfortable environment for them, my friend, you can guarantee that they will always be there. Is there such a comfortable environment?
Once they lose their ability to adapt to harsh environments, there will be no way to transplant them to other places for planting. "
This friend's words immediately gave Cro Adam a blow, and he was stunned.
Yes, although I can ensure that the children of the harvest will take care of this environment now, and also There are farm servants patrolling all the time. But what about the future?
I can't always arrange for the Sons of Harvest to take care of these most basic crops. As my power grows, my fields become wider and wider. There are times when it is not taken into account
The most important thing is that this is a kind of degradation for Poseidon Barley, from being able to adapt to the complex and changeable ocean magic environment to being able to just wait. In a stable environment
This is the most unacceptable thing for him. Croya has been working hard to evolve the magic plants and monsters, but he has caused the degradation of Poseidon Barley...
He is deeply troubled. He sighed deeply and thought quickly. He had a bold idea, which he had always had.
Finally, he glanced at the thriving Poseidon Barley and asked, "Poseidon Barley?" Even though it is a magic plant, can it evolve into a magic plant? ”
“…”
Estner was stunned by this question.
Although Poseidon barley is the most widely spread crop in the Semrio continent, they have never been a magic plant.
Because magic plants mean that these barley cannot be planted just by the seaside. The geographical location and magic environment need to be considered.
It is originally a basic crop. If it turns into a magic plant, it will be very inconvenient, so no one has conducted this kind of research.
Magic power itself is difficult to control. After all, not everyone has the environment and resources like Croya.
He opened his mouth to persuade Croya, but the latter seemed to know what he was going to say, shook his head and said: "Friend, listen to me first."
"The extremely strong adaptability of Poseidon Barley to magic power means that it has the potential to become a magic plant.
If we can study it, Poseidon Barley will have different growth changes in different magic environments. .
For example, the barren and magic-free sea area is ordinary Poseidon barley, and the rich and magic-rich sea area is Poseidon barley full of magic power.
Imagine if we can eat it for a long time. Will barley flour help us? ”
After Croya finished speaking, he waited for Estner's answer - in fact, he still hadn't said a word.
If ordinary people take this kind of barley containing magic power for a long time, can they let themselves be nourished by magic power? Will there be more opportunities to advance to become magicians or warrior knights in the future?
If this level can really be reached, then the people at the bottom of the entire society will be promoted, resulting in fundamental changes.
After thinking carefully, the battle mage said excitedly: "Actually, what we magicians eat are basically Poseidon barley, Poseidon wheat and ordinary wheat.
I heard that among the elves, There are special kinds of wheat there. For example, they sell a kind of wheat called Dawn Wheat, which costs a high price of one magic crystal per kilogram.
That kind of wheat contains the magic power from the sun. , it has some benefits for the body after swallowing it. Although the effect is worse than your sunflower seeds, the quantity is large.”
The more he said it, the more excited he became.
"Friend! If we can develop a wheat that also has magical power, then even the legendary mage in the Mage City will probably reward us."
Hearing this, Ke Loya was confused.
“Wait a minute, don’t we have magic plants for this kind of wheat? Do only the elves have them?”
It has been nearly a year since he came here. He has seen many magic plants. He always thought that a basic crop like wheat should have a magic plant version.
It’s just that my level is a bit low so I can’t reach it.
In the end, I didn’t expect that Estner meant it. Was it because he didn’t mean it?
"Of course not." Estner was even stranger than he appeared: "The more basic crops are, the more difficult it is for them to mutate, let alone spread."
< br>"Just what I told you just now, if wheat requires a magic environment, will the planting volume and output decrease significantly?
And what will happen to wheat under different magic environments? Changes, these are very troublesome things.”
After hearing Estner’s explanation, Croya understood immediately.
Wheat, the most basic crop, cannot have a magic plant version because of its large planting volume and wide planting range.
I am afraid that this involves not only ability, but also considerations about reality.
Magic plants are still a minority after all. Is there any other lord who would generously distribute magic plants to the people under his command like Croya?
"I understand, does this Poseidon Barley have the potential to turn into a magic plant?"
He still cares about this matter. If it does, it will be easy to handle.
"Well..."
After thinking hard, Estner shook his head in distress: "This kind of Poseidon Barley was researched by a master of magic plants a thousand years ago.
For so long, I have never heard that it can become a magic plant. It is said that it is because of its ability to adapt to magic that it makes it insensitive to magic."
" Is it because of the ability to adapt to magic? "
Croya narrowed his eyes in thought, but there was nothing he could do for a moment.
Because his biggest golden finger star spirit body engraving technique is only effective on magic plants.
If it were just an ordinary plant without an astral body at all, this spell would not work.
If these Poseidon Barley were magic plants, even if they were only the lowest first-level magic plants, he would have already found a way to transform them.
Unfortunately there is no if.
After thinking about it, he asked:
"Wait, what about the rest of the power?"
"For example, divine power, or the power of Qiyao Ore?"
Estner suddenly showed a speechless expression, as if he didn't know what to say.
"My friend, do you know how precious divine power and Qiyao Ore are? We won't talk about the former. Even the association doesn't control much of Qiyao Ore."
"But I do. I heard that if a wheat seed is catalyzed by extremely pure magic power, it may be possible to turn it into a magic plant.
But who would do this? A single magic wheat plant is nothing. Use it."
He finally shook his head helplessly, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
It can be said that the speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention.
Croya keenly captured the key message of "pure magic of extremely high purity", so is the magic of the etheric realm considered extremely pure?
If the magic power of the etheric realm didn't count, he probably couldn't think of any magic power that counted.
And since Estner has not denied the divine power and the power of the Qiyao Mine, he now has an entire Qiyao Mine!
Is it possible to try it?
He planned to give it a try after a while. As long as one of them could turn into a magic plant and open a small gap, he would have a solution.
But there are other things now.
He pretended to ignore the topic and took out an object that was half sea blue and half moon blue from his pocket. It looked like a gem.
"This is my newly made potion. It is an improved version of the Sea Lingzhi potion. You can give it a try."
Cloya handed it to Estner.
The latter took it over strangely and observed it: "There is the magic power of Moonlight Spirit Dew Grass in it. Did you mix it with that magic power?"
"That's really smart, let's try it." Croya kept smiling.
"...Your expression is very strange." Although Esterna felt that Croya's expression was strange, he still picked up the Sea Moon potion and put it into his mouth.
Although this thing looks and feels hard and solid, it melts in your mouth when you eat it, flowing down your throat and into your stomach like a mint-flavored stream.
Estner perceives with his eyes closed.
About three minutes later, he opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, and then he opened his palms.
There is a small magic ball in the palm of his hand. The surface of the ball is surrounded by some special blue magic power, like the color of the moon.
"I have long heard that these Moonlight Spirit Dew Grasses can allow people to control some magic power about the moon. I didn't expect it to be possible."
After shaking his palm, he put away the magic ball. I went back and described my feelings in detail -
"It was much better than the magic potion of Hailingzhi alone. My mind became very clear, which lasted for three minutes, and I also controlled the magic power of the moon. . ”
“As for the most important effect of the sea lingzhi potion... I have taken too much of this potion, and it still has some effects.”
His expression became a little confused.
He is now a third-level mage. Although he has just made a breakthrough, it stands to reason that he has already passed the scope of the Hailingzhi magic potion. If it can work for him...
Does that mean that this brand-new potion is several times more powerful than the Hailingzhi potion?
You must know that the batch of special potions produced by Croya has already caused a rush of mages. If this kind of potion can affect the fourth level...
He simply doesn’t want to Dare to believe what will happen.
Thank you to the big guys like Milan Kexin, Bailian Chenggang, Look Up at the Sky to See the Clouds Rolling and Flowing, Aka Niu, Qingluoyou for their monthly tickets and the recommendation votes from all the big guys. I am very grateful.
