Chapter 280 280. Southern Garden, the Birth of the Druid
Southern Garden.
To be precise, it can only be regarded as the prototype of the Southern Garden.
When the first residents of the Southern Territory came here, the mages were working hard to build an ecological magic dome that suited the climate of the Southern Territory.
This is actually a test.
Although many magic plantations have been built in the north for farming before, the area, scale and even the accuracy of the magic data are not as high as this dome requires.
After all, the warm sea breeze has brought absolutely advantageous planting conditions, and all the apprentices need is to make further additions on this basis.
The magic parameters in the dome now require apprentices to modify and calculate them.
Yagebu got off the boat tremblingly, and what he saw was this scene -
The mage gentlemen in the distance were all wearing light work clothes, carrying boxes after boxes, like Climbing up and down like a construction worker.
From time to time, the leader yelled angrily:
“Sera, you can get your readings wrong?”
“These meteorological crystals are not installed here!”
"Zarat, if you make another mistake, go away and raise dolphins!"
As far as the eye can see on this huge island, the normally aloof mages are working like ants. Look, He looks no different from ordinary people.
While the young man was still watching with interest.
A particularly tall woman came over. She glanced at the card in her hand and looked at these people.
"You are the first batch of residents."
"We will help you build your own houses and villages. Come with me."
After she finished speaking Just turn around quickly.
The people who were still a little uneasy looked at each other, and finally followed him honestly.
After passing through the chaotic engineering area that was under construction, like a construction site, we arrived at a garden that was already filled with various ferns and the ground was wet and muddy.
The air here is humid and humid. It seems to make the nose a little itchy and feels very comfortable at the same time.
The eyes of the people from the south suddenly lit up.
Isn’t this the taste of their hometown?
The muddy ground, humid air, and covered roads, all kinds of plants that grow almost overnight, and crawling insects and animals hidden under the leaves.
For outsiders, such an environment is simply unbearable. The humidity alone is enough to make people irritated. Mushrooms may even grow on the clothes they hang.
But for them, it is their hometown where they have lived for several lifetimes.
A few people immediately burst into tears.
The woman glanced at them: "Do you feel any difference? Compared with your hometown."
Yagobu boldly said: "Master Mage, I feel that this place is a little drier than our home."
"Oh?" The woman was slightly surprised: "Have you received a basic education?"
"Yes...yes." Yagob tried his best to hold up his chest: "There used to be a priest from the Mother Earth Church who opened a school in our village."
"Is that so. "Apprentice Lina was thoughtful, raised her eyes and looked around, and murmured to herself: "The environment in the south often rains, and the sun's light is also very hot..."
As he said, She took out a spar tablet, lightly drew a topographic map on it with her fingers, and then wrote and drew.
The moment she stopped, several gray-black clouds suddenly floated over from the sky, covering the whole world.
She shouted to the dark clouds: "Please, the annual rainfall should be stable at more than 2000 mm. This is the basis. If necessary, increase it."
There is something inside the dark clouds. Several beautiful phantom-feathered cloud snakes poked their heads out and seemed to nod. The next second, lightning flashed in the dark clouds, accompanied by "rumbling" thunder.
The raindrops fell like this.
“……”
The people from the south looked at this scene in shock, letting the rain fall on them without realizing it.
What? Is it raining now?
Is this the power of mage masters?
‘Basic education really needs to keep up. ’
Lina couldn’t help but hold her forehead and threw out a few magic spells to help these people isolate the rain.
If you get wet in the rain just after taking a hot bath, it will be troublesome if you get sick, and it will definitely slow down the progress.
You must know that it was not easy for her to seize the initiative of this task from Ryan, who was about to return to the island, and she was gearing up to do something big.
The rain fluttered for a while, and then the dark clouds were dragged away by the phantom cloud snakes, and then came the somewhat hot sunlight projected from the dome.
They still have many tasks. The entire ecological garden requires them to make rain like snakes. Of course, they have to leave quickly.
Some stagnant water is quickly evaporated by the sun, but when the sun has not yet exerted its power, plants and mist block the sunlight, preventing the water from being completely evaporated.
The air suddenly became much hotter than before.
In just a short moment, the humidity in the air was obviously higher, which made the residents of the southern border feel more friendly.
Yes! This is the southern border where they live.
Lina nodded with satisfaction and asked Yagob: "So?"
The latter quickly replied: "It's much better than before... but I still feel something is wrong."
He scratched his hair and couldn't tell what was wrong.
Lina knows why.
Although the humidity and temperature try to simulate the real southern realm, the concentration of magic in the air and the magic fields emitted by various magic plants are all factors that affect the environment.
Those require long-term debugging work to complete, and there is really no rush now.
‘But this kid is quite clever. ’ Lina glanced at Yagobu and waved to him: “Come here.”
"Master Mage."
Yagebu was shocked and trotted to Lina's side with a low eyebrow.
Lina said nonchalantly, "If you have time, go to the basic training primary school to learn some courses. I think you like it. Maybe you will need more efforts in the construction here in the future.
The lord will not treat you badly.”
The so-called basic training elementary school is actually a place for ordinary people who are not apprentices to gain knowledge and education, so that they can have a basic understanding of magic and be able to cooperate with mages. We are doing some infrastructure construction.
If I have to say it, it is actually similar to the retinue academies established by the knights. Essentially, it is to better assist the extraordinary people in their work.
I have to say that the only difference is probably that these extraordinary beings in the north can take care of themselves at least, and are not the kind of gentlemen who need help from maids/manservants to even wash their clothes.
Of course, this is also the apprentice training base for the reserve forces.
Perhaps many people have certain talents, but they are buried due to various reasons. Fortunately, Croya has enough resources to open a few such schools.
Anyway... even if ten such schools are built, and a series of expenses such as meal subsidies are added, the price is not as much as the mages burning a few experiments.
Such as the piles of failed alloy materials, the magic energy crystal plates that failed to be carved for some reasons, and the poor quality magic tools, even with the advanced technology that Croya obtained from various places, it is impossible to defeat them. Avoided losses.
These are the root causes of headaches for mages, and they are also the fundamental reasons that restrict the advancement of most mages.
If Croa didn’t have such a fertile sea area that could be called the “Promised Land” to exploit, and the mermaids stayed at home every day and fantasized about super-houses, it would be absolutely impossible for them to develop so smoothly. Impossible.
Magic costs money!
However, in short, for Croya, the school was not a big deal at all, but Yacob was stunned on the spot and burst into tears.
He...he can learn too?
Can learn knowledge!
He knelt down to Lina without saying a word.
Looking at this, the corner of Lina's mouth twitched, and she directly used the hands of the mage to pull him up, and said seriously: "These are the favors given to you by Lord Croya." "Study hard, don't let him down. meet the expectations of adults.”
"Also, now you start building the house!"
Actually, Lina is not good at facing this kind of situation. She always feels that it would be embarrassing to be solemnly kneeled down and kowtowed like this. I'm obviously not a big shot, so how can I afford such a big gift?
Yagebu, who was pulled up, wiped his eyes with his sleeves. He had not even met the Duke of Hanjiao, but he was already loyal to him to an unimaginable level.
Others were a little eager to take action when they saw this - they were not very old, and of course they also wanted to go to school and learn knowledge.
But they were still a little hesitant and planned to take a look before talking.
So in the following time, they began to build their own home.
The buildings in the southern border are actually very different from those in the northern border, because the ground is too wet, and there are often snakes, insects, rats and ants running rampant.
So the construction of houses must actually be carried out at high places - most residents will choose to build houses between the aerial roots of a huge banyan tree in the south.
This only put-in-use garden actually contains the only large transplanted tree. Its trunk requires dozens of people to hug it. The crown of the tree is so big that it can cover the sky, and the aerial roots are as big as Like pillars standing on the ground.
In order to transport this giant tree smoothly, Croya could only use the channels of the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce.
The purpose is to reproduce the scenery of the southern border more realistically and comprehensively - this kind of rain banyan tree is very important.
People from the southern border came to the big tree and began to dig the soil. They used the soil, the leaves of the banyan tree, the sap and the soil that flowed out. While the soil was not completely hardened, they quickly made the soil into roots to build a house. of cylinder.
Building materials made from the sap of the banyan tree can effectively isolate the hot and humid air from the outside world, and even have a series of effects such as repelling mosquitoes and insects.
Although there is no help from magic, generous nature has given them something to live on.
This is the survival philosophy that their ancestors have lived in the South for generations. Naturally, they don’t need the magicians from the North to tell them what to do.
At most, it will be some infrastructure construction such as pipelines in the later stage.
Lina watched for a while, then turned and left, taking away all the surveillance functions in the area.
——This is what Cloa Ya told her personally at the beginning. Monitoring can be carried out in other places, but not where people live.
Although this garden in the south is his property, he doesn't want to see people and animals living in it, just like the ecological bottles he made in his spare time.
Through the transparent glass, everything inside is clearly visible - as if it were an observer and someone looking down.
This is actually very immoral. It will not only make him feel more perverted, but also make him feel more and more out of touch with human beings.
......
After Lina leaves, this completed area of about one hectare will be the future residence of some residents of the southern border.
They are the gardeners of this garden, and they are also researchers in the Southern Territory. Although Croya has never been to the Southern Territory, the barbaric growth environment in the Southern Territory makes him feel that something different may be born. thing.
For nature, wild growth is actually a good thing, regular growth is also a good thing, but the middle growth is a bad thing.
There are too many standardized areas in Croya's northern border, and he really wants to see if this garden in the southern border can bring him some surprises and some novel discoveries.
Fortunately, the god of luck has always favored him.
Interior of South Garden.
——Yagebu finally lived in his own tree house after working hard for half a month.
He climbed nimbly along the rope woven from the vines into the birdcage-like house fixed between the air roots.
The area of the house is not large, only a dozen square meters, but it has everything that should be in the house, all made by his hard work day and night in the past few days.
Absolutely made of pure logs.
When he lay on his bed after a hard day's work and looked out at the night sky through the window, his whole body was filled with excitement.
Although he left his hometown, after coming here, he not only received material packages every day, but also went to school to study. Even if he came back at night and had to work most of the night, he would not feel anything. fatigue.
“It’s so nice here...Mother Banyan Tree.”
He habitually touched the only part of the wall that was not covered with wooden boards, which was the white aerial root of the banyan tree, and his voice was full of emotion.
In the dark night, this white aerial root will emit a faint light, illuminating a dark room and a starless night.
Yagobu grew up in such an environment since he was born. During the day, he ran in the forest looking for food, and at night he fell asleep feeling the light of the banyan tree.
In most areas throughout the southern region, banyan trees are called "mother" because they really give too many people the possibility of survival.
Some beliefs even extend to this: the elderly will smear the sap of the banyan tree on their newborn children, believing that this will allow the mother of the banyan tree to protect the child.
Well, it is said that children who are smeared with banyan tree sap are less likely to be harassed by mosquitoes, rats, and ants, and their chances of survival in the forest will even increase.
Although I don’t know what the basis is, and this kind of tree does not have obvious magic fluctuations, after all, it has been passed down from generation to generation.
Yagebu stroked the aerial roots of the banyan tree. The rough texture was like the rough and calloused palms of his mother in his memory. The aerial roots exuded warm breath.
This feeling is reassuring.
Slowly, he fell into a deep sleep. Before falling asleep, he was still thinking about the meditation method that he occasionally heard a few mages discussing today.
The boy who muttered to himself until he fell asleep did not notice that one after another emerald green light spots appeared on the surface of the aerial roots of the banyan tree, surrounding and surrounding him lightly.
As time went by, the number of light spots increased, gradually filling the entire room, and then flowing out through the open window.
They fluttered irregularly, like naughty children, twinkling under the big banyan tree.
Soon the entire banyan tree began to glow. This banyan tree looked ordinary, but in fact it was a huge banyan tree that was thousands of years old, emitting an emerald green light in the dark night.
There are also dark clouds and water vapor gathering towards it.
Since all the monitoring equipment in this area has been removed, such changes were not noticed at first until they were accidentally seen by the apprentices who were staying up late for construction.
"What is that?"
"Quick, go see the magic reading!"
"Go and ask Teacher Oak!"
The apprentices put down The people working on their hands gathered outside the garden, and they were very sensible and did not go in directly.
After all, they didn't know whether this change was good or bad. The data on the equipment they were holding that could detect magic power was beating wildly, sometimes high and sometimes low.
To be honest, they have not seen such complex magic readings for a long time. The magic readings in all areas of the North have stabilized.
Unstable means that there may be good things inside, it may be very dangerous, and everything is unknown.
The oak tree came quickly.
It stood outside and looked at the place where the southerners lived. It quickly understood the magic changes inside, and its eyes were full of doubts and surprise.
If it feels right... there is a natural atmosphere here, and this natural atmosphere seems to be accompanied by pouring water vapor and dark clouds in the sky.
That is magic, but it does not use magic to forcibly constrain the formation of elements, but a natural and spontaneous gathering.
"Druid?"
"Natural Druid?"
It suddenly thought of a possibility.
According to legend, some people who are favored by nature will be favored by nature and can control unimaginable natural magic.
That is a genuine Druid recognized by nature, a natural walker, and is fundamentally different from the earth.
Druids' employment requires natural recognition, which is different from those who imagine that they can just learn some natural magic and call themselves druids.
But what is very strange is that for so long, not even a druid has appeared in the north. Why does it suddenly appear now?
What is even more amazing is that it is actually a "Storm Druid".
Why?
Are these people from the south more favored by nature?
It thought for a moment and planned to step into this area, but when it was about to enter, the banyan tree stood up.
