103. The village chief's worries
"Oh my God, where did Xiao Lin come from!?"
"If a pine tree is so tall, if it grows like this, it will become a forest that can only be found in the south!"
"Ah~ stopped..."The woman breathed a sigh of relief, "I really thought the village was going to be replaced by a forest~"
"It's only a dozen trees, what's the panic?"
"That's... His Excellency Xia Zuo's magic? Incredible..."
"It's a bit similar to the village chief's magic, but I always feel that the village chief can't do such an exaggeration, hehe..."
In the open space of the village, towering pine trees suddenly grew, causing the villagers to stop their busy business and stop to watch.
Because it was Xia Zuo's move, the villagers were not afraid, but showed admiration.
I saw that the strong soldiers picked up their axes, and in a short time they could bring down one tree.
And Horf's side is even more spectacular, he can cut down a tree with two or three blows alone.
"Later, let Ola take care of cutting off the excess branches, peeling them, cutting them off, and transporting them to the ruins of the workshop, where the circular saw should still work, divide them into planks of the right size, and then adjust the plane with a planer...", Horf said breathlessly as he cut down the trees.
He described this, where did Xia Zuo know, Xia Zuo stood aside and listened to it and pouted.
However, in this game, the player can indeed build houses and homes, and just like striking iron, the wood to the formed wooden house materials are generated with one click, without the cumbersome steps described by Horf.
Therefore, Xia Zuo will do it, which will make the construction of houses faster, but there are too many houses in a village, and there is still one day left to set off, so Xia Zuo decided not to volunteer to take the job. While that could also increase the "Build" level, there is no need for it at this time, so save it for the future.
Here, it's all up to Horf and Ola, who are always the most reliable craftsmen in the village, and it won't take a few more days.
"By the way, Uncle Blacksmith," Xia Zuo thought back to what happened at the altar, maybe the locals would know something about packing, "Have you ever come into contact with the holy spring water in the altar?" ”
"Holy spring water?" Horf didn't stop his axe, and replied as he cut wood, "Is that the holy spring water in the altar at the top of the mountain?" ”
"Yes."
"That sweet divine spring water~ People passing by will take a sip, which is very thirst-quenching."
"When you are injured, will you drink the water of the holy spring?" Xia Zuo thought about it, and asked curiously, if NPCs can also add blood to return to blue through the holy spring water, then there is no reason why they will not always be by their side, and when the village encounters a disaster like a goblin, there is no worry that there are no blood replenishment items that are more advanced than red potions to use.
"Maybe people who are devout to the gods will drink it, right? Haha, but it's better to recuperate if you're injured, and drinking holy spring water won't speed up recovery. ”
Sure enough, the blood and blue function of the Holy Spring Water is ineffective against NPCs. After listening to Holf's reply, Xia Zuo had an answer in his heart.
"Since you also feel sweet, don't you want to take the holy spring water out of the altar? Put it at home and drink it slowly, even if it is used as drinking water for daily life, right? ”
"Don't the guests know? The holy spring water can't be taken out of the altar, and every time it is taken out, it will disappear without a trace... If the guest wants to take the holy spring water out of the altar, I also advise you to give it up, since you can't bring it out of the altar, it must be the will of the gods, and you will be cursed to do something against the will of the gods. ”
Naturally, that is Holf's personal opinion, and Xia Zuo will not believe it.
More than a dozen pine trees were quickly cut down, and when Xia Zuo asked if they were needed, Holf said that they were enough for the time being.
After returning to the village from Xia Zuo, it only took twenty minutes to perfectly solve the problem of wood scarcity for Horf and his party.
The commotion around the crowd also attracted the attention of the village chief, who led a male villager to squeeze through the crowd and see the spectacular rows of logs in the open space of the houses.
"Ten minutes ago, I saw a dozen towering trees! Chopped so quickly!? The male villager who was the informant was surprised.
Just now, the village chief was leading Rodney and his party to the mine to check, and the latter seemed to be curious about how good the resources of Liv Village were.
After a while, the informant came to the village chief and whispered to him, telling him that Xia Zuo had used magic to grow rows of trees in the village.
Although the towering trees are a bit exaggerated, these pine trees are really tall, as if it would take a hundred years to grow, and they were completed by Xia Zuo's magic in an instant.
The village chief also thought it was a fantasy, and hurried to hear the news, and it was true... The pine tree is not even within its own magically spawned variety, how did Xia Zuo do it?
Was it the "plant birth" spell he told him? - The more you practice, the more types of plants you can generate.
So far, the village chief has still been unable to grow some plants, including herbs that Rebecca often goes out to collect, which she would otherwise be able to obtain in the village.
There's no reason why I've been learning magic for nearly thirty years, Xia Zuo has taken it to the extreme overnight...
"Your Excellency Xia Zuo." The village chief hurried to Xia Zuo, who was still talking to Horf.
"Don't worry about the roots, the village chief, Uncle Blacksmith said he would find a way to restore them to their original appearance." Xia Zuo pointed to the side, that was the area where he gave birth to pine trees, and there were more than a dozen abandoned wooden stakes on the ground, which were very obstructive and had deep roots... The wood was cut down and had to be disposed of.
"How did you do that? Could it be the "plant-born" magic? It's only been one night!? ”
"The village is safe, and we don't have any deals for the time being, old village chief." Xia Zuo didn't respond positively, but smiled and rode on his horse, "So I still don't answer your question." ”
"What do you want to trade? Please make sure to tell me about this...", the village chief was slightly excited, "I still have some magic... Maybe digging through the manuscripts of the past should bring back the spell, and on the letter of introduction to you, um... You can also add your contribution to the reconstruction of the village? ”
On horseback, Xia Zuo shook his head, "The credit written on the letter is enough, compared to fighting against goblins, rebuilding is just a trivial matter, not enough to worry about... And you, village chief, don't have the magic I want, Bai Sui is still waiting to return to its master, don't pass it for now, thank you for your last manuscript. ”
After that, Xia Zuo waved the reins, Bai Sui took him and left quickly, although the villagers wanted to greet Xia Zuo warmly, but they also had to get out of the way in advance.
The village chief who stood in place stroked his beard, lonely for a while, thoughtful.
"What are you thinking?" Horf walked up to him and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his cuffs, "You taught the guests the magic of making plants grow fast?" ”
"I guess so," said the village chief, distracted.
"What should it be? Why is the magic you taught him more powerful than you can do it yourself? ”
“... Maybe Xia Zuo is a genius, like the dragon slayer hero Rodney... No, even more. ”
Holf saw a hint of fear in the village chief's eyes.
"Your Excellency Xia Zuo can learn magic by listening to a spell once," the village chief then said in fear, "You can make magic to the extreme overnight... Thankfully, I didn't reveal any too devastating magic to him, but... I am not the only mage in the world who has mastered magic, it is only a matter of time before Your Excellency Xia Zuo learns and becomes proficient in more dangerous magic, I hope he will not become an enemy of the Andu Kingdom..."
"Hey~ The banquet to celebrate the victory hasn't started yet, have you drunk too much?!" Holf stretched out his hand and patted the village chief on the back heavily, blocking the other party's words, "How can a guest who has done so many good things for the village be seen by everyone, how can he become an enemy of the Andu Kingdom?" ... Stop shackling about Aslan, Gredveld. ”
