Chapter 291: The Power of Potions

At the moment when the Flame Demon Lord died, Roger, the king of the Oaks Kingdom far away in the Emerald City, also fell into a situation of "life is better than death".

"I'm really going crazy!" Roger rolled on the ground with his head in his hands, "I can't finish so much work!" ”

As he rolled around on the ground, Roger quietly took a look at Luna's expression. Seeing that Luna's expression was still so calm, Roger rolled even happier.

"Okay, okay, I'm already helping you with government affairs." Seeing that Roger had been rolling on the ground for a long time, and had no intention of returning to his position, Luna, who knew that Roger's patience had reached the limit, couldn't help but sigh, "In terms of business and financial management, only you can play in the current Emerald City, so you can't run away." After all, until now, only the Tower of the Nine Rings has been able to imitate some rather inferior products, and the cost is still very high. Therefore, the sales of this kind of luxury goods on the market are still firmly occupied by the goods produced by our Emerald City, and the high profits in this regard are a major pillar in the current Oaks Kingdom, and they cannot be ignored! ”

"What's even more troublesome is that Anne, who was originally in charge of this matter, is now busy dealing with the people you are talking about...... Census? There is also the family registration management, so you are the only one who can take over the financial affairs in a short period of time. Luna put down the fountain pen in her hand and said to Roger in distress, "Are you going to stay here honestly?" Good no good? ”

In the face of Luna's soft pleading, Roger, who eats soft and not hard, immediately obediently returned to his position, and An An continued to deal with official business.

But. When Roger picked up another official document, he immediately frowned: "...... The Engineering Construction Corps asks for more construction funds? Didn't I just allocate a lot of money two days ago? ”

Luna, who had already continued to deal with other government affairs, frowned when she heard this. He looked over to Roger's side: "I've heard the Great Elder talk about this matter. Although the druids hate the city. But the druids who have actually come to the Emerald City are very satisfied with our Emerald City. Therefore, at the invitation of the druids in the city, more and more druids have recently joined the Emerald City, which is why Anne is too busy. ”

"Because the population is exploding, there are not enough houses. Because there are not enough private houses, the engineering construction corps is working overtime, and at the same time asking for more funds to be allocated for the purchase of building materials? Roger's brow furrowed even tighter, "But we don't have much money on hand." ”

"How so!" Taken aback, Luna suddenly stopped what she was doing and looked at Roger with some confusion, "Some time ago. Didn't you get a lot of money from the magic merchants of the Tower of the Nine Rings? ”

"Well, we made a lot of money by selling those inventory of dwarven artillery and dwarven mortars, but there are too many places to spend money in the Emerald City right now." Roger said with a bitter face, "Since we had hoarded enough strategic materials before, we have now prepared enough for armaments." However, compared with the armament, the preparation of the people's livelihood is somewhat tight. And since the number of people who have moved into the Emerald City is far greater than we thought, our current food reserves are already a little insufficient. ”

"The Emerald City, which has gathered a large number of druids, will be short of food, and probably no one will believe it." Luna smiled wryly.

"Druids aren't all-powerful, either." Roger raised an eyebrow. "Due to the destruction of those mid- and low-level monsters everywhere, even a lot of farmland around our Emerald City has been ruined, not to mention the situation in other countries. So now the price of food is going up, and even if we have the money, we can't buy much food. ”

"Even if you repel the invasion of the demons. Contaminated farmland also needs to be purified before it can be replanted. New grain cannot be counted on in a short period of time, but the grain problem has to be solved as soon as possible. Luna thought wryly.

"Actually. I have a solution to the problem of food for the time being. Roger thought about it for a while, and finally decided to say this. In fact, I have a large number of specially treated seeds in my hands. It can germinate, grow, and mature in a short period of time. ”

“…… But this is not allowed by the druids who believe in the way of nature, right? Luna, who is also a druid, quickly understands Roger's concerns.

"Well, the lifespan of this rapidly maturing plant will be short, and the farmland where the plant is planted will also become barren because a large amount of nutrients are plundered in a short period of time." Roger smiled wryly and said, "It's completely different from the delicious fast-growing plants I've cultivated before, and planting these special seeds on a large scale can cause damage to the natural environment." For the druids who believed in the way of nature, this was undoubtedly a complete violation of the way of nature. ”

"So these seeds can only be used as a last resort to deal with the food crisis." Luna shook her head, "The Oaks Kingdom is growing a little too fast, and although you've been consolidating your foundation, it's still not enough. Once you do use these seeds, the druids in the Druids who are dissatisfied with you will definitely jump out. Coupled with the instigation of well-intentioned people, this is likely to cause large-scale unrest. ”

"I know that very well, so I've never told anyone about these seeds." Roger spread his hands helplessly, "But if we don't use these seeds, we will face a food crisis in as little as three months." ”

For the demonic plague, let alone three months, it is normal for it to last for a year or two, so the problem of food must be solved as soon as possible.

“…… Aren't the reserves in armaments sufficient? Let's send more troops to wipe out all the demons around us. Squinting slightly, Luna quickly decided, "After exterminating all the demons in this vicinity." I immediately organized men to purify all the farmland, and then sent a large number of farmers and druids to cultivate it. Plus regular patrols by troops stationed around the perimeter. Harvest a batch of grain as quickly as possible. ”

I'm afraid there is no way to do it.

Roger nodded, about to agree. A figure suddenly appeared behind him, which immediately startled Roger, who was quite keenly scercerative.

Roger, who jumped up from his seat and turned around quickly, realized that it was actually Aisha, and he quickly sat down with a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, intending to suppress the shock.

"What's wrong, Elsa? All of a sudden, it came out of nowhere. Roger asked in a calm tone, somewhat reluctantly.

"Urgent military situation, Huo Ke has encountered a large force of demon troops." Giving Roger a blank look, Aisha said very seriously.

"Isn't Huo Ke now leading the troops to kill the surrounding demon troops? It's normal for this to happen. Roger, who didn't pay much attention to the news, raised an eyebrow.

With Huo Ke's hatred for the demons, it is obviously impossible for him to honestly stay in the Emerald City to prepare for the war now that the demon disaster has arrived. So when Huo Ke asked him to lead troops to exterminate the demons. Roger agreed.

Anyway, there is always a hero to kill the scattered demons around him, and send Huo Ke, who is a demon hunter, to go, although it is a bit overkill, but Roger dares to swear in the name of the goddess of nature, where Huo Ke passes, there will definitely not be a single demon who will survive.

However, after Huo Ke tried his best to exterminate a large number of demons, the remaining demons also learned to be obedient, and the middle and low-level demon miscellaneous soldiers that Huo Ke encountered now appeared in groups. It's normal to run into a large group of demons, and it's not unusual to run into a lone demon.

Noticing that Roger didn't care much about the news, Aisha sighed and said with a flat face, "He ran into a demon hero." ”

"Poof!"

Squirted the tea out of his mouth directly. Roger suddenly straightened his face and asked a little nervously, "Huo Ke didn't have an accident, right?" ”

"Nope." Aisha looked at Roger's face with some confusion, obviously not understanding why Roger's reaction was so big. In Elsa's opinion. As a demon hunter, Huo Ke should be able to protect himself as long as he doesn't have a tough confrontation with the demon heroes.

"What's going on?" Luna also felt that there was something wrong with Roger's attitude. I asked directly.

"Some time ago, I went to the Dragon Knights Rally with Kisara. Later, I ran into a demon hero, and I became a holy beast Suzaku and couldn't keep her. Roger grimaced, and said very seriously, "That's a fallen angel!" Very powerful! I suspect it's that guy who is in front of Hoko right now! In this way, Huo Ke is likely to be in danger! ”

"Huo Keke is very cautious, and has always kept a sufficient distance from the enemy, so he shouldn't have an accident now." Aisha had a look of "I see", but she was still not too worried about Huo Ke's safety, "Don't worry, Huo Ke should be fine." However, now that a large group of demon legions are heading towards the Emerald City, let's prepare for the battle first. ”

"Got it, I'll be watching, you better inform Huo Ke to come back first. If the enemy really were that powerful fallen angel, Hoko would most likely be in danger. Roger's brow was still tightly locked, and he commanded Elsa very solemnly.

"Okay, I'll go and inform him." Aisha didn't have much of it, and quickly disappeared into the black smoke.

Throwing the official document in his hand on the table, Roger got up and said to Luna, "Then I'll go and gather the troops now." ”

"Wait a minute!" Luna spoke abruptly, looked at Roger very solemnly and said, "This time, you don't want to make a move, let ......"

"I heard that an enemy is coming? Where is it? What a guts! How dare these fools invade my territory? Kisara slammed in through the door, screaming loudly.

"Qi! Sha! Pull! Luna slowly stood up, her piercing gaze staring at Kisara, as if she could make a few holes in Kisara's body, "You're not healed!" Honestly go back and lie down! ”

"Don't! Little Luna! You see, my wounds are healed. Kisara pouted and leaned over to Luna, who was two heads shorter than her, and said cautiously.

"No! Although the injuries on the surface are healed, you have overdrawn a lot of vitality in the battle before! Although the dragons have a long lifespan, they are not long enough to allow you to squander your vitality! So, you'd better go back to your dragon's lair for me! Luna didn't give a step, and gave her reasons very seriously.

Roger's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Kisara a little speechlessly: although he was Kisara's dragon knight, Roger's medical skills were actually only at the level of half a bucket of water, and he didn't see the problem with Kisara.

But as Luna said, even if Kisara is a dragon, her vitality doesn't mean that she can be overdrawn! Once Kisara's vitality is overdrawn, she is likely to die of direct weakness!

Even so, Kisara ignored Roger's glare and shook her arms and lungs, "Little Luna, you just promise to let me fight!" This time I won't be overdrawn! ”

The reason why Kisara is so accommodating to Luna is because Kisara's food is now managed by Luna. After trying the delicious food of the Emerald City, Kisara still listens to the words of the current "owner".

Being shaken around like this by Kisara, Luna's face couldn't help but cry and laugh, "Okay, if you really want to fight, drink this!" ”

With that, Luna pulled a bottle of potion out of her arms.

That's the famous Marus Elixir! And it's also a special "Light Dragon Super Enhanced Edition"!

And when she saw this potion, Kisara's face turned from red to blue, then from blue to black, and finally from black to white, and still white.

"Don't! Take the potion away! Kisara screamed and hid directly behind Roger, who could even feel Kisara shivering.

Even the dragons are afraid of this potion?

Looking at the bottle of Malus's secret elixir, Roger also smiled bitterly.

In fact, when Roger returned to the Emerald City with Kisara after the battle with the Fallen Angel, Luna, who arrived at the first time, poured Kisara with the "Secret Elixir of the Light Dragon's Super Enhanced Malus".

With the dragon's strong physique, Kisara didn't fall unconscious from the vial. However, the "terrible taste" of Malus's potion gave Kirsara a terrifying experience at the time, so that Kirshara now screams when she sees Malus's elixir.

The dragon's voice is not ordinary, but neither Roger nor Luna are normal people, and they are not injured by Kisara's sonic attack.

"Okay, okay, as long as you don't make a move, if you just watch the battle from the city wall, you don't need to drink that bottle of medicine." Roger reassured Kisara with a helpless face.

"Really?" Kisara stared at Roger's face tightly, with some panic in her eyes.

Seeing that Luna nodded and put away the bottle of potion that even dragons feared, Roger said to Kisara with certainty, "Of course! I've always been a man of words. ”

"Hoo ......"

Relieved, Kira slapped her chest repeatedly, and her face flushed when she saw Roger and Luna both looking at her with smiles on their faces.

"I, I'll go first!" A somewhat embarrassed Kisara suddenly fled the room, while Roger and Luna looked at each other and laughed in unison. (To be continued.) )
