Chapter 204: Vegetables and Changes
Richie's home is gone.
If there is anything worse than the loss of home, then it is not only the loss of home, but also the loss of vegetable fields!
As the morning sun rose, the big roots in Richie's field suddenly crawled out of the dirt, and then tore off his feet and ran into the forest.
Running to the vegetable of freedom, Richie's heart is broken!
"Why is this happening!?"
Green was also shocked. Vegetables from the other world, this is the rhythm of becoming a refinement!
Originally, Green thought that mushrooms and mandrakes could run away, but now he found that even the radishes began to run away!? After a while, will the big trees on the side of the road also have to run away from home?
……
Angasari, capital of the Kingdom of Norsbod, Imperial Council.
The conference hall was silent, except for the voice of a middle-aged bachelor echoing through the hall. The warm summer breeze seemed to deliberately avoid the cold hall, and the important ministers of the kingdom listened to the scholar's report with serious expressions.
"Since the northern part of the country was occupied by the demons, the concentration of mana throughout the world has shown a tendency to rise steadily. Ladies and gentlemen, please look at page 3 of the report...... This is a table of the increase in the concentration of mana in the air over the past two years, and according to this table, you can clearly see the pattern of the increase in the concentration of mana......"
"According to measurements, the concentration of magic in the area of the Great Wall has reached the level of the 'Silver Age', and it will temporarily break through to the level of the 'Golden Age' during the Night of Magic! Fortunately, recent measurements show that the increase in mana concentration has flattened. At the current rate of magical growth, it is unlikely that the 'Age of Mythology' will occur at least a thousand years from now. Of course, the premise of all this is that the increase in mana concentration has remained stable. ”
“…… I would now like to turn to page 15. This is some information about the Golden Age and the Age of Mythology......"
The Scholar's report was long, but the ministers listened attentively, without any interruption from the scholar's report, merely digesting as much as they could from what the scholar had said, and considering what the impact of the information would be.
The Age of Mythology when gods walked on the earth, the Golden Age of sages, the Silver Age of heroes, and the Age of Black Iron for mortals.
The rise in the concentration of mana means ......
"Are the gods coming back?" The treasurer touched his mustache, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"In other words, the church is actually behind all this?" The dwarven general Folsky slammed his fist on the table, "No wonder the church refuses to hand over the flame of order!" They did it on purpose! ”
"It doesn't make sense to say that anymore, what matters now is how we respond to this upheaval next." Queen Rhea spoke, "The return of the gods is a foregone conclusion, and only by maintaining the stability of the kingdom will we have a chance to deal with the future situation. ”
The treasurer touched his beard: "Now some plants have begun to elve, and I am afraid that more plants will be elven in the near future, we must be ready!" ”
The dwarven general touched his beard: "Vegetables will run, rabbits will bite...... How did those people from the age of mythology survive? ”
"In the age of mythology, humans were the food of monsters." The intelligence director's fluttering words made the air in the entire room freeze.
"I don't think even the church wants the gods to really come." The treasurer said dryly.
"Some of the higher-ups in the church may have some sanity, but those fanatical believers may not." The calm voice of the intelligence director made everyone's hearts feel cold.
"Let's get back to the issue." The Prime Minister said, "The first thing that needs to be discussed next is: How do we respond to this upheaval? According to the city councillor, at least 20% of the crops were suddenly elven this morning, and if nothing else, it is likely that more will appear after next month's demonic night. ”
"Fence those plants first!" The dwarven general's thoughts were as simple and crude as ever, "just like dealing with those ferocious animals." ”
……
As the concentration of mana began to rise, animals became violent, cursed items became demonized, and plants became elves, and the originally stable world began to be turbulent. The reaction of the top brass of the kingdom was like that of a sluggish old man, and it was not until the matter was serious that he finally reacted, and those in the kingdom who were more flexible in their brains and more broad-minded began to act without waiting for orders from above.
Ms. Alicia, the sheriff of Puerto Ancona, is one of the more flexible people.
"Vegetables escaped? Armed with a wagon and cage, we went 'to hunt vegetables' in the forest! ”
"Huh? Captain, this kind of task can be solved by ordinary people, so we don't need to come forward, right? The rat-eared thief couldn't help but shout.
"Food, clothing, shelter and transportation are related to the survival of human beings!" Alicia is very action-oriented, "The elvement of plants in a large area is not a trivial matter, I need first-hand information. ”
Seeing that Alicia insisted, the rat-eared thief could only sigh and obediently followed.
Just as Alicia counted the personnel and was about to lead the team to the forest to find the "escaped roots", Greens walked into the office of the Special Affairs Office.
Greene: "Lady Alicia, I heard you're looking for me?" ”
Seeing Green suddenly appear, Alicia was stunned for a moment, and then gritted her teeth and said: "Green, you are a member of the special affairs department, please don't suddenly disappear for several days like this next time." ”
"What's the matter?" Green asked.
"It's all right." Alicia lazily waved her hand back, "Originally, there was a big man who wanted to see you, but because he couldn't find your person, the big man has already left." ”
"Oh, then say goodbye. It's time for me to go, too. Green finished and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Alicia called out to Green.
"Anything else?"
Alicia looked at Green with a twinkle in her eyes and hesitated for a moment, "Did you come back from a farm outside the city?" ”
Greene: "Yes. ”
Alicia: "You should already know about the vegetable elven incident, right?" ”
"Hmm...... Any questions? ”
"We're going to go to the forest next to catch the escaped vegetables, so come with you." Alicia invited.
Green was silent for a while: "...... Are you guys idle? ”
Alicia: "The vegetables are already running away now, and it's likely that more will run away in the future." We have to identify the situation of those vegetables and prepare measures to avoid the worst. ”
"Hmm......" Green thought for a moment, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in that. ”
Grimm, a temporary worker, willfully refused Alicia's order.
Green's unceremonious attitude made Alicia frown.
After thinking about it, Alicia spoke: "I am now in charge of the security team, the special affairs department, and the adventure guild at the same time. If nothing else, I will most likely have to give up some of my rights in the future. ”
"What does this have to do with me?"
"I'm thinking about whether to put one of these departments in your hands."
"Oh?" Green was a little surprised, "Why me?" This kind of thing should be shared with the family behind you, right? ”
"Whether it's a vigilante, a secret service, or an adventure guild, it's essential for a leader to have extraordinary strength. There are only a limited number of suitable candidates. Alicia paused, "How?" Stay and help me do things. ”
Green touched his chin and thought for a moment: "I have to admit that Your Excellency's proposal is very tempting. But I'm sorry, but if I have the chance, I'd like to visit the floating city of Angusari. ”
If he joins, it will also mean that Grimm is completely integrated into the port of Ancona and becomes a part of the Kingdom of Northbod. After that, Green can slowly climb up through Alicia and the family forces behind him, and then transmit all kinds of information in the kingdom to the outside world. If Green is just an ordinary spy, then joining Alicia and the family behind it is undoubtedly a good choice, but unfortunately, Green is not an ordinary spy.
"Opportunities don't come every time." Alicia looked at Green earnestly.
"I know." Green smiled slightly, "If I have the chance, I want to go to the floating city of Angusari." There, maybe I'll find a better opportunity to develop! ”
