Chapter 18 Trading (Four Watches, the Last Wave at the End of the Month, Ask for a Reward, or Eat Soil This Month...... )
"It's simple, you just need to help us collect some plants in the forest, or plant something. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info planting is an easy thing for you elves to do. “
Watari wagged his tail and gestured out of the window with his chin, through which he could see the fruit and vegetable gardens that were open up in the air. It can be clearly seen that some elves are coming and going, taking care of the various plants inside.
Some elves clasped their hands together, and the pale green light converged on a withered plant.
Under the pale green light, the withered and yellowed plants turned back to green with a speed visible to the naked eye, like the current of time, full of vitality. This kind of magical skill, as well as the existence that goes beyond the original mechanism of catalysis and breaks through the laws of biological development.
Lorna noticed that there was a little left, and suddenly smiled, and said:
"You want to learn this life magic?"
"If you can, it does. “
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, to perform such operational magic, you need at least 200 years of meditation practice, accumulate natural energy, and have the ability to communicate with plants, in addition, you need to get ......"
Lorna said a lot of conditions, and Duge suddenly gave up on studying.
"This ...... Forget it. “
For these races with long lifespans and time to squander at will, 200 may just be a bit longer. At that time, it was a lifetime for orcs and humans, and when they learned it, they all turned into a pile of white bones. Of course, Du Ge only gave up temporarily, and the elf's operation of plants was a big treasure trove for him, waiting for the fox clan's magic pattern technology to develop to a certain point. It's probably not difficult to find the secret of something. Before that, in terms of planting, you still need to rely on the elves.
"In terms of trade, you can exchange cereal crops and some forest treasured plant specialties with me. “
Lorna looked a little confused, her big green eyes blinking and blinking, as if asking.
"Precious plants, I will give you a picture book, you usually collect them in the forest, or concentrate on planting them or something, whatever you want. I just want things. I still recommend that you concentrate on planting. As for cereals, I want to ......"
I said about the cultivation situation outside the silver-blooded tribe, hoping that these elves could draw a scoop on the gourd and open up the area for grain cultivation to relieve the food pressure of the silver-blooded in the future. Because the land area that can be cultivated by Silver Blood alone is now difficult, it is difficult to support the planned 150,000 people in Silver Blood City.
However, this offer was rejected by Lorna.
"I'm sorry, grain planting I refuse. “
"Huh? Why?"
"Judging from what you just explained, the cultivation of those grains is very consuming of land resources, regardless of the need for a large area of wasteland, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. We can't agree that the mere reclamation of land requires extensive forest reforestation. Mother Nature protects us with forests, and we can't be ungrateful to destroy them. “
"Well, forget about grain planting. Can you provide enough labor for special crops or something?"
"This one needs to be tried, we don't know how much you need. Although the forest was large, there was an upper limit to the load it could bear at that time. Lorna shook her head, she couldn't give Du Ge a certain amount for the time being. In this regard, Duge is not in a hurry. The current positioning of the elf clan has been made clear by him: to cultivate high-precision cash crops.
Production and planting of some kinds of plants that cannot be obtained under ordinary conditions and have valuable use value. A large part of the composition of the magic pattern paint comes from plants. Duge felt that he had found a good source.
"That's why I suggest you concentrate on planting and cultivating. “
"Tell me what you need. “
"Hmm. “
Duge once again took out some crop samples from the space. When he came, he thought about the purpose of this time, and naturally made preparations for reorganization. More than a dozen rare plants were placed on the table. There are leaves, branches, rhizomes, fruits, wood, mushrooms, bark, petals and other plant materials.
As a darling of the forest, the elven queen who can read the memories of her predecessors naturally understands these plants. Easily identify the name of each material.
"Moonlight mimosa, black thorn thorn roots, snail jade fruit, dangcong, yellow leaves...... These are rare crops, and many of them are not grown in the forests here, or are limited by the seasons of the environment. “
"How's that? Can it be supplied in bulk?"
Lorna picked out some plants and divided them into three parts. Pointing to the leftmost copy of the duet song, he said:
"These few things, blue light flowers, snake vines, white ghost tree sap or something, we can guarantee the yield. Because in the forest, there are natural gathering places for these things, and we can collect them at any time, and the amount is not small. “
With that, Lorna pointed to the pile in the middle.
"We can grow these things on a small scale nearby, but it's a bit more difficult to cultivate, and you don't expect a high yield. “
Finally, Lorna pointed to the pile on the far right.
"We don't grow these things, it's not that we can't, but the environment here is really not suitable for growing these kinds of things. Bitter knot grass is suitable for arid, day and night temperature difference in the desert, but also need to be planted in an acidic environment, Binglian Jiuzi needs to be extremely cold, deep water mushrooms can only grow in deep water, but also need to be a freshwater environment, the sulfur in the water can not be too large. It's a land of all seasons, and the conditions for growing them are too difficult to achieve. “
Du Ge nodded, admiring the elves' knowledge of plants, such a large number of plants from all over the world, Lorna could easily distinguish their species and planting environment.
He pointed to the pile in the middle and to the left and said:
"Then we'll buy these, whether you're planting or gathering, we'll just have ready-made goods. ”
"Uh-huh. “
Lorna nodded, and the two sides reached a consensus, and this kind of mutually beneficial thing made each other very happy.
"How many more things can you conjure? Just those clothes or something, I'm going to show my people. “
"A lot of drops~"
With a wave of his hand, several large boxes fell into the hall, and he explained:
"This time, in addition to long-term transactions, I still want to exchange some more water of life. We have something that needs the support of the water of life. “
Lorna blinked her big turquoise eyes and asked:
"How much do you want?"
"Let's get a 50 liter. “
Du Ge estimated that he would start the activation ritual for a warrior, and it would take about 20 ml to draw the activation totem. 1 liter of eaux-de-vie is enough for 50. So he just opened his mouth and asked for 50 liters.
"L? What is that?"
"I forgot that there is not one unit, wait a minute...... It's a bottle of this size, a bottle. “
Taking out a standard cylindrical glass bottle, Togo handed it to Lorna. Then he was stared at by Lorna, and his straight eyes and the song he saw were a little hairy, which made him uncomfortable, so he asked embarrassedly:
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
"Do you think the water of life is a mountain spring?"
"Is 1 liter a lot?"
As for the yield of the water of life, Watari is not at all clear.
"Judging from your capacity, the annual output of this tree of life is only about 10 liters, and we still need to consume about 5 liters internally to maintain the entire elven tribe. You're asking for 50 liters? What is our 10-year production leftover?"
