Chapter 45 Blond Drill
"Mr. Li has a courier for you."
"Oh, leave it there."
Li Chengqi picked up the utility knife, opened the express box in twos and twos, and took out a large pile of vegetable seeds, almost all of which were white radish of different varieties.
The vegetable seeds given before have been planted, and Viola specially asked the soldiers to open a few plots of land near the city gate and directly water them with water from the moat.
Priority was given to planting potatoes, radishes and soybeans because these three species do not require high soil fertility, are suitable for the season, and are fairly easy to grow.
Other vegetables that are not suitable or are more troublesome to grow will not be touched for the time being. He just separated out some seeds and gave them to the tree elf druids for them to take back to the forest.
Compared with most of the barren land in Leon Territory, the Spring Woodland is protected by the magic of the Druid. Not only does it feel like spring all year round in a literal sense, but the soil is also extremely fertile.
This is a magical version of a greenhouse, and they can grow any kind of vegetables.
And this also solves the all-important seed problem.
The seeds Li Chengqi bought online were all produced by seed companies. The yield and quality were the best during the first harvest.
But if you want to wait until it matures and save seeds before planting them yourself, the yield and quality will plummet. If you want your crops to grow well, you have to buy more seeds.
There is nothing wrong with doing this. After all, everyone saves the seeds after buying them once. Who will sell the seeds to such a subsidiary?
The problem is that Li Chengqi can provide some seeds for experimental purposes, but it is impossible for him to be responsible for the seeds in the entire Leon territory.
This is where druids are very useful.
The quality of seeds and products in the second generation will definitely decline, but under the operation of the druids, they may be able to improve varieties that are better than the seeds they bought.
And the druids were also very concerned about this matter. As soon as they heard that the Demon King God had given them plant seeds that did not exist in this world, they all rushed to Leon Fortress as if they were rushing home during the New Year, hoping that Princess Viola can divide some seeds for her own research.
The food reserves of the tree elves are not very generous. Even if they have high-quality land and suitable temperatures, the area cannot grow food on a large scale.
Therefore, the druids are very concerned about radishes, a crop that grows quickly and yields high yields.
The only thing that made Li Chengqi dissatisfied was that he found that almost none of the tree elves in Spring Grove had become believers, and they had obviously helped them solve major life-and-death crises.
Li Chengqi looked around and found that the piety level of four or five tree elf children had increased to 10. This was probably because the picture looked cooler when expelling the power of the Plague Goddess.
Viola told Li Chengqi that tree elves rarely believe in a certain god, and even if they do, they all believe in natural gods. Most of their druids worship only the laws of nature.
This is a national custom and cannot be solved in a short time.
Since it was a national custom, Li Chengqi didn't care too much, mainly because the population of Spring Grove was really small.
In contrast, the mission in Fortress Leon went very smoothly.
The first believers were only Viola and her knights. They saw how the Demon King defeated the bandit soldiers on the city wall, but they just thought they were crazy and didn't know how to pray.
Now, the number of believers in Leon Fortress is increasing by one thousand to two thousand every day, and the rate of increase is still increasing. I believe that it won't be long before the entire Leon Territory will become believers of the Demon King God.
The growth rate of faith, the most important resource, has also increased from a few points per day at the beginning to now at least hundreds of points per day, and sometimes it can reach two to three hundred points.
The growth rate of believers should be directly proportional to the growth rate of faith value, but now it seems that the growth rate of believers is obviously much faster.
This is because it is not enough to just have believers; believers must also pray.
That is to say, the faith value will only increase when you pray twice a day, morning and evening. And praying is not just about putting your hands together. At the very least, you must have a symbol to clearly show who you are praying to.
At present, only the chapel in the castle is barely qualified, but Viola is a runaway princess after all, and for her safety, it is impossible to open the castle directly to the public.
Considering the objective fact that the Great Temple could not be built overnight, Viola thought of many solutions.
She first asked people to put down the Holy Emblem of the Demon King in the square. Every day, the knights of the guard led the gathered people to pray, and scaffolding was set up there to start building a large statue to meet the people's prayer needs.
In addition, she also specially customized a large number of holy emblems, which can be hung around the neck like necklaces. At first, she planned to use silver, but the silver reserves were insufficient, and later changed to copper and iron. The tree elves also expressed their willingness to work overtime to make a large number of exquisite wooden holy symbols.
Once these holy symbols are completed and distributed to believers, they can pray at home. At that time, the rate of increase in faith value will take off directly.
But having said that, although faith is the most important resource in this game, it is rarely used.
Either the believers are given magical powers, or Li Chengqi directly reaches out to intervene.
I always feel that as a god, there is too little room for maneuver.
In this case, you must operate with caution.
As a god, you must leave a sense of mystery to your believers, and only if you have room for imagination will you feel awesome.
Therefore, Li Chengqi was also cautious about granting and directly intervening with magical arts. He planned to use magical arts as a reward and punishment mechanism.
If you do a good job, I will give it to you. If you do a bad job, no matter how pious you are, it will not be your share.
After all, casually granting magical spells will make believers think that I just need to pray briefly, which will lead to a decrease in piety. The decrease in piety will also affect the increase in faith value. This is an endless cycle.
Moving the camera and looking at Shelley who was busy leading believers in prayer in the square, Li Chengqi cut the camera to the castle.
I happened to see Viola and the knights of the guard finishing today's morning prayers and walking out of the chapel.
Seeing this, Li Chengqi planned to give Viola the newly arrived white radish seeds during the afternoon prayer time.
Although he could put the seed directly on Viola's hand now, it would only look awesome if he put it on the altar while they were praying. What he wanted was a sense of ritual.
Then he discovered that Viola did not go to the office as usual, nor did she go out to visit the surrounding villages and towns, but instead walked into the reception room on the second floor.
Who are you meeting?
Then he saw two little pixel figures that he had never seen before walking into the reception room, and they seemed to be quite familiar with Viola.
One of the blondes was wearing a bubble skirt and holding a cane in his hand. This mixed style made people speechless.
"There really is a blond drill bit..."
The most distinctive thing is her hair, which is a large-angle golden twist.
The other one was wearing a butler uniform, and because of the pixelated shape of his bicep, Li Chengqi thought he was a man at first. But when I clicked on the ability panel and saw the portrait, I realized that she was actually a beauty dressed in men's clothing.
This master-servant pair looks nothing like ordinary people.
