Chapter 197: The Running Mandrake

Magical plants are those that are rich in magic and can be used to make potions, which can only grow in places where magic is abundant, and have some special requirements for the environment.

The Elven Forest is the world's largest production of magical plants, more than half of the magical plants in the human world come from the Elven Forest, and the rest of the magical plants are produced in some special places or artificially built "Arcane Gardens". Due to the limitations of origin and production, the commercial value of magic plants is much higher than that of ordinary food, so it is self-evident what kind of choice villagers will make when they find out that they can actually grow high-priced cash crops.

The land of the White Bear Village was not suitable for growing food, so when the magic plants were introduced, all the villagers gave up the normal food crops and began to grow various magic plants.

The most planted in White Bear Village is a magical plant called "mandrake". Mandrake has a magical effect, is a material used in many magic potions, is in great demand, and the price is relatively stable, making it a very good cash crop. Obviously, White Bear Village also considered the market when it chose to grow mandrakes.

Looking at the endless mandrakes in the fields, Green had to praise the efforts of the villagers: "How long have you been planting these mandrakes?" ”

"I planted it last spring. It was supposed to be harvested in the spring of this year, but because of the fog outside the village, it has been delayed until now. Green was introduced to the village chief's son, Jason, a middle-aged farmer uncle who looked a little honest.

"I planted it last year?" Green looked at the endless mandrakes in the field and was keenly aware of the anomaly.

The mushrooms in Miracle Canyon have learned to run after only half a year, and after a year, they have not only learned to run, but have even evolved the ability to release poisonous spores, but these mandrakes in front of them have been planted for a year, and they look very calm, like ordinary turnips...... This is not normal no matter how you think about it, right?

With so many mandrakes, isn't there one or two mutated special individuals?

"Have there been any anomalies in the field lately?" Green asked Jason.

"Anomaly?" Jason thought for a moment, "No. Except for being caged by fog around it, everything else is normal. ”

Green felt that the villagers were really nervous.

"I see." Green paused, "I'll have a mandrake stew tonight." ”

Mandrakes are also magical plants no matter how they are, and they are definitely much more efficient at converting to chaos magic than ordinary food. Therefore, when there is mandrake to eat, Green naturally looks down on those ordinary human foods.

"Mandrake stew?" Jason's eyes widened as he looked at the mandrake in the field, "Lord Green, you can't eat these grasses!" ”

"I don't know what will happen if I eat it normally, but I'll definitely be fine if I eat it." Green paused, "Get me two mandrake stews, don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

Hearing Green's words, Jason's eyes couldn't help but widen: "It's really worthy of being a silver powerhouse." ”

Green is now the only savior in the village, so the villagers naturally won't refuse Green's request, but ......

"Your Excellency Green, although we would love to meet your request, but the meat is ...... Since the fog sealed off the village, there was no more prey to hunt in the mountains. Jason looked ashamed, "Originally, there were still some domestic animals in the village, but after the tax collector came, he had to eat meat every day, and there was no meat in the village." ”

That dead fat pig! Is it really a pig that has changed?

"Forget it, just have something to eat. Grab me some mandrake cooking. ”

Jason looked at the mandrake in the field, confused. How do you cook this thing? Mandrake is an alchemical herb, and many people know about it, but if you want to cook with it, Uncle Farmer says that he really doesn't know how to cook this kind of thing.

Although they didn't know how to cook it, since Green had made a request, the villagers who had asked Green would naturally not refuse.

"Good...... Good. "Anyway, let's pull a few mandrakes first. Jason decided to dig up the mandrake first, and as for how to cook, he should leave it to his mother-in-law for a headache.

Jason went home and got an earmuff, tucked it tightly, and then walked to the field, intending to pluck two mandrakes and go back to cooking, while Green and his party also wore earmuffs and stood a little farther away, watching.

Green hadn't seen a mandrake, but he had heard of it - after all, the mandrake was so famous among all potions that almost all potions could be added to it to increase the effectiveness of the potion.

It is said that when the mandrake is pulled up, it emits a high-pitched spiritual cry, and the person who hears it will fall into a coma or even die, but as long as you wear earmuffs, you can resist this mental impact to a certain extent.

After putting on the earmuffs, Jason took a rope and went into the field, picking out a mandrake that looked amazingly growing. Jason straightened his earmuffs a little to make sure they covered his ears very tightly, and then bent down to pull the mandrake out.

Hard!

Pull out!

"Wow!!!" A shrill cry resounded through the sky.

The powerful sonic impact even caused a slight ripple in the surrounding light, making people's vision a little distorted.

Green quietly lifted the corner of the earcup. The harsh sound came into his ears, making Green frown slightly. Green didn't feel the mental impact, but the harsh sound did make people feel sick and uncomfortable.

Realizing that his resistance was able to resist the mental attack of the mandrake, Green removed the earmuffs.

Jason did not have as strong mental resistance as Green, although he was wearing earmuffs, the strong mental impact still made his expression dazed for a while, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the mandrake fell from Jason's hand.

The mandrake, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly stood up, and ran wildly in the direction of the mountain with two small legs.

Jason returned to normal after a brief loss of consciousness. Looking at the mandrake that was dangling the blades of grass on his head and running away, Jason froze. The radish is fine! Mandrake is on the run!

The mandrake rode away.

Looking at the figure of the mandrake in the distance, Green couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "I'll just say, my mushrooms have started to run around, but the mandrake here is still obediently staying in the field, which is really strange." ”
