Chapter 10: The Spread of Flame Wheat
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and in the early morning Alan appeared in the garden after taking a bath, and in the summer it was too hot to sweat even in the morning.
Alan hated the sticky feeling.
"Will you move to the basement later?"
Alan nodded, this is also a good method, the basement of the castle is dry and cool, very suitable for summer living, but there is no light, and you will be unwell for a long time.
Mai Ling's babbling echoed throughout the garden, and this guy was always exuberant, and he didn't need to sleep, and sometimes he would sneak up in front of Allen's bedroom window and peep.
caused Alan to wonder if he was a psychopath who was raised by himself to be a psychopath and liked to peep.
He had to explain to Mrs. Lisa so as not to scare them, and Alan was speechless for a while.
Today is the day when the ears of flame wheat are ripe, and it is no wonder that Mai Ling is more excited than usual today, flying around the garden all the time, babbling non-stop.
Alan also hopes that the Flame Wheat will mature as soon as possible, so that the Flame Wheat can sow its own seeds.
When you have an acre of flame wheat, the strength of your territory will increase greatly.
According to the fact that one acre of flame wheat can produce one hundred kilograms of flame fruit, although the fruit particles are small, but the advantage is more, one person has one kilogram a day, and one hundred people who are close to the limit strength of one hundred kilograms can create a hundred cavalry for the territory.
The more I thought about it, the more fascinated I became, and it wasn't until Mai Ling smashed it on Allen that Allen woke up from his fantasy.
Looking at Mai Ling, who was puffing up because he ignored it, Allen laughed for a while.
"It's time to give you a name. ”
Looking at the floating Mai Ling, Alan thought.
"Well, let's call it Babble! ”
Mai Ling probably knew that he had a name, and he kept shouting, "Babble!
"It's time to go see how Flame Mai is doing. Alan walked towards the rose field
Three bunches of ripe flame wheat fruits hang high on the stalks of the flame wheat, like noble and clear rubies, each the size of a peanut.
Saw!!
Under the agitation of the fire element, grains of wheat seeds flew down from the ears of wheat and spread all over the acre, and the wheat seeds the size of peanuts were directly rooted into the soil after touching the ground.
"Babble!
After the flame wheat seeds dispersed, Xiao Bai flew excitedly in this flame wheat field, only to see Xiao Bai merge into the flame wheat mother plant, and bursts of fire elements stirred out from the flame wheat mother plant.
After a while, the flaming wheat sprouted out of the ground, all with this crimson appearance, slowly growing upward.
Ten minutes later, an acre of twenty centimeters of flame wheat appeared in front of him.
Under the strong fire element, the wheat seedlings pulled out a third leaf.
"Wheat Spirit seems to be really important!" Alan replied inwardly.
With the care of Xiaobai, the wheat seedlings will grow quickly, and without the Xiaobai wheat seeds, they will not be able to germinate and grow into magical plant seeds.
Then Alan began to worry again.
"Without the help of the fire element spar, it is difficult for the flame wheat to grow quickly, and the flame wheat mother plant also needs a large number of fire element spars to complete the advancement!"
As long as the fire elemental spar is sufficient, the one-acre size of the flame wheat can compress the time from flowering to harvest to about a month, and the magical plant is so unreasonable.
Flame wheat is very different from regular wheat, which needs to be harvested and replanted, while flame wheat is a perennial plant that does not need to be replanted from seeds.
In other words, Allen's acre of flame wheat does not need to be hoeed and replanted, saving a lot of trouble.
The high temperature of the formation of an acre of flame wheat is unimaginable, and the surrounding roses have begun to wither, and this place is like a small sea of fire.
"Do you want to move the flame wheat away? ”
Alan thought in his heart that just one acre of Flame Wheat had such a high temperature, causing the temperature of the entire castle to rise by several degrees.
If we wait until the next advance of the Flame Wheat is completed, and we can plant about ten acres of land, will this castle still be inhabited?
Alan decided to move the Flame Wheat out and find an open place to plant it before the next advance.
However, the safety of the Flame Wheat must be paid attention to, although even if the Flame Wheat is destroyed, you can still find other magical plants to plant, but the magical plants are not as easy to find as imagined, and the most important thing is that you still need to be born with magical plants.
It seems that he has to go to Musen City to exchange for some fire element crystals, Alan sighed in his heart.
One spar has a hundred gold dragons, and Qinghuang can only buy sixty in a year's taxes.
Thinking of this, Alan is very unhappy, don't look at the Qinghuang Territory is five or six times the size of other territories, but unfortunately they are all bad soil that cannot be cultivated, resulting in the output of a county in the territory, which is not much different from other baronies, but other baronies are only the size of a town in the previous life.
Viscount Bernard sealed the fief of the Charles family here, so that the Charles family could open up the wasteland!
The development potential of the Wilderness Territory has come to an end, and there are only two ways to develop faster: commerce and plunder, and Alan is ready to choose both.
The business is temporarily put on the mosquito coil trade in the coming year, and the plundering is for the entire Musen Territory.
As a vassal, it is despised by nobles to wage war against their own feudal lords, so Alan is not prepared to directly wage war against the entire Musen Domain.
Because it can't be defeated, it is a fool's dream to use one barony against the entire viscount, and Alan believes that as long as the war is launched, other baronies will only help the viscounts to conquer themselves and get a piece of the pie, instead of reaching out to help.
Alan decides to fish in troubled waters, but how to muddy the water without being detected depends on what kind of means Eren has.
This was put aside, and Alan came to the pit where the water-streaked giant frog was kept.
The three Barton brothers just sent meat to be thrown down from the edge of the pit every day, and they didn't dare to go down to see the situation because they didn't have enough strength, so they still don't know what happened to the two water-streaked giant frogs.
Alan slowly paddled down along the vines on the edge of the pit, and now Alan didn't dare to jump directly from the mouth of the pit, and the height of ten meters was still too high for a low-level knight.
Alan estimated that he would only be able to jump off it without hindrance when he reached the point when the high-level knight could release the element, and the middle-level knight might fall and get injured.
Arrive at the bottom of the pit and find it by Allen. The bottom of the pit was full of bone fragments that had been gnawed, and it was eaten cleanly.
"Looks like he's living a good life. ”
Alan lamented that his worries were unnecessary.
Walking slowly forward, Alan found two sleeping giant frogs near the waterhole, and Eren, who was getting closer, woke up the two giant frogs.
Looking at the two giant frogs rushing towards him, Alan cursed in his heart, sighing that this frog doesn't have a long memory!
Stunned the two giant frogs with water stripes, Alan didn't care about them, and when he came to the waterhole, a blue wave appeared on the water, a group of apple-sized blue tadpoles, and Alan counted about one hundred and fifty of them.
In other words, in two months, Alan will be able to eat the meat of a mature water-streaked giant frog.
Alan also intends to give this meat to the soldiers who are at the limit of the soldiers, helping them break through to the cavalry.
If he can finally gather 500 cavalry, Allen estimates that he can fight all the way to Fort Musen and kick Viscount Bernard's head as a ball.
But everything takes time, and Alan decided to make a short fuss.
