Chapter 1193: Jinya's Visit (8)

"It's not something poisonous, why resist? It's a gift from nature!" The old gardener took out a brass pipe, took out a pinch of tobacco and expertly lit it, and took a sip.

"Hehe, I still can't resist the realm beyond my own cognition," Leo sneered, "Those stupid people who thought that tobacco soil was not so harmful also fell step by step like this, but fortunately, tobacco is not as toxic as tobacco soil." “

Ginya was interested in tobacco, but seeing the old gardener's dirty appearance, which was more inaccessible than D'Ambro, and the posture of swallowing clouds and spitting fog in his mouth, she was a little afraid to step forward.

The old gardener saw that there was a little Lori next to me.

"Oh," said the old gardener, putting away his pipe in a little panic, "so you brought a child, and this thing is not good for a child!"

I just introduced them: "This is Miss Ginya from the Permeda Chamber of Commerce, a high-level magician who has just been promoted, and will not be harmed by tobacco, this is the manager of the Santas farmland, the old gardener!"

Obviously, both of them didn't know how to greet each other, Ginya was used to formal social occasions, but she had never seen such a country druid, and the old gardener had never dealt with such an aristocratic human being.

"Don't be so restrained," I said, "it's not a serious meeting, Ginya is my friend, I'll take her around, old gardener, you're my friend, I'm stopping by to see you, and I'm so nervous......"

Although Ginya is young, after all, the pattern is larger, and she took the initiative to break the embarrassment: "Is the old gentleman a druid?" I don't know much about this profession, and today I have the opportunity to learn about it. “

When the old gardener saw that she was so good at talking, he naturally laughed along with her: "It's really rare that there are human magicians who are interested in druids, Miss Ginya, welcome!"

The atmosphere was still a little awkward, but the two also chatted, and the old gardener explained to Ginya the concept of the druid's profession, and did not forget to tease me, a magician who wasted the talent of the druid, and interspersed some knowledge about the agriculture inside the mage tower, which was actually still inspiring to Ginya, and she listened very carefully.

Of course, with the temperament of an old gardener, he didn't want to receive guests, and this time there was such a big change in attitude, presumably it was also a visit to my farm, and there was a change in concept after communicating with D'Ambro, plus Ginya was brought by me personally, and he was still a child, so he would be so polite.

To put it mildly, the old gardener is not as "good" at tirades as Leo and I, and there is not much to say when he pours out the dry goods in his stomach.

Finally, I said, "Come to the farm more, you'll get more out of it, oh yes, we've opened up a new plane, it's much bigger than the farm, and you'll definitely have to come and see it when you're interested."

"You don't want me to go there to farm, do you?" The old gardener naturally took over the conversation.

"It depends on what you think, if you want to come, you are welcome at any time, if you don't want to come, you don't have to force it." I say.

"Now the magicians don't like to eat my food and vegetables here, so they all go to your shop to eat them." Said the old gardener.

"Didn't you grow the ingredients in the store?" I say.

"There is already a shortage of supply," the old gardener shook his head, "all of them used to be grown and eaten, and then there are so many new varieties that you see, most of them are inedible, and now they all depend on your farm and the garden of Elf Street." “

"The original design only met the needs of magicians, and did not take into account the food of the common people, but now the food and clothing have been improved, which is really not enough land."

"If I had been in the past, I would not have approved of your approach, but now that my understanding of the way of nature has been changed by you," said the old gardener, "it is time to abandon this land and seek a wider field." “

"So, you're going to our new plane?" I asked.

"No," the old gardener shook his head, "perhaps, I should be like D'Ambro, find a quiet place to think about it, what about him, he has been hiding for more than ten years to figure it out, and I, I have figured it out and then slowly pondered it." “

"So, what to do here?" Ginya asked.

"I'm just a little bit of a caretaker," said the old gardener with a smile, "and I don't do much, it's the farmers who do more work, it's just that they know I'm a druid, and I'll deal with things when something happens, so they can work with confidence, and after so long, they can handle most of the problems." “

"Then give yourself a holiday," I said, "and walk around, see the vastness of the world, the wonder of nature, and maybe you will have more insights." “

"Yes," said the old gardener, "but now I have something to eat." “

What he said was, of course, black copper seedlings and tobacco.

"As long as the land is fertile, the sun and rain are sufficient, tobacco can grow, my new plane will be planted on a large scale, for the sake of old friends, I will provide it to you for a long time, what are you worried about?" I said, "As for the black copper wood, it's useless for you to stare at it every day, even my grandfather knows it, and it just needs to come and see it every once in a while." “

"I know all this, but I'm a little reluctant......" the old gardener smiled and waved his hand.

"You're waiting for a moment, a reason to get out," I said, "and now is the right time, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Old Gardener, going out to see more and traveling and adventuring in various planes can really improve your soul and cultivation perception!" Jinya was also very enthusiastic to help me persuade. Single

"Let's go, then!" The old gardener put away his pipe, shook his arms and made a stretching motion, "It seems that you have helped me make up my mind." “

I didn't say anything else, just smiled and said, "Let's go, then."

And so, Ginya and I rode our bicycles slowly on the concrete ridge of the field, and the old gardener followed unhurriedly with a wooden cane, all the way back to the Mage's Tower.

When they reached the small hill, the old gardener said directly, "I'm going to the earth elemental plane." And teleported away.

Ginya and I arrived at the Pentagon corner and were going to take her to the last stop, the publishing house.

I'm going to give her a set of books to decorate her study.

As soon as we entered the publishing house, we met an acquaintance.

The elven poetess Xihui.

Last time, she decided to go out and travel in search of inspiration, and I didn't pay much attention to it, but come to think of it, she is an ungifted elf, she can't run around in all planes, and someone has to follow her, or rather, she should follow someone else.

But it doesn't matter, seeing that she is carrying an elf-style bag, you know that she is in a hurry to go out.

"Ah, Lord Bihon!" Xihui called out to me in surprise.

"Going on a trip?" I asked knowingly with a smile.

"Well, yes!" Xihui nodded excitedly, and glanced at the street entrance anxiously, "Ah, that, I still have something to do, I'm going to go!"

"I'd like to read your new book, since you're so busy......," I said with some regret.

"I left one in the office to show you!" Xihui hurriedly said.

"Then you go first, I'll appreciate it slowly." I say.

"You don't have to be so polite, I just ask you to judge," Xihui walked out as if he had finished explaining the matter, "Please point out the shortcomings!"

I want to say something, she's gone.

"This is ......" Before Jinya could figure out the situation, Xihui had already walked a long way.

"A very gifted elven poet." I said, "The price is not being able to awaken, but I don't think it's a pity that her talent is not inferior to magic and martial arts." “

With that, I took Jinya into the office where the trustee had come out and took out the manuscript left by Xihui.

She wrote more than 20 poems, almost all of which were related to love, and there was a beginning, but unfortunately, there was only the beginning, and the end was added: "The inspiration that suddenly came out, and the inspiration disappeared after writing it down, it's a pity......"

Verses and beginnings, how to evaluate them?

In Leo's words: "The diary of a girl who was in love at the beginning of middle school is at this level, but after all, it is an elf race, and there is a bit of fairy spirit in the words." ”

As for me, I won't comment on it.

Ginya was surprised and admired: "Wow, this is the poetic art of the elves!" It's beautiful! ”

I can't bear it, or rather, there is no need to break her illusions, as well as the beautiful imagination of the elves, so I said such a comment as "In fact, Xihui's poems are not orthodox among the elves".

"In the future, we will discover a variety of talents and print their works in a book, so that more people can appreciate the beauty of art." I said, "For example, this Xihui's poem, another bard's long narrative poem, and the work of various story writers and painters, I'll show you later, right here." ”

"So......" Ginya held Xihui's manuscript with some affection, "can I make a copy?" ”

"Of course," I said, "not only that, but I have another gift for you!" ”

An hour later, the books that could fill a human wagon were delivered to the publisher's door—not a lot, but only three or four cubic meters.

"Wow, that's so much!" Ginya had been watching the writers and painters create in their respective cubicles, and when she went out, she was stunned, "I, I can't fit the props in my space......"

"I will help you go through the regular teleportation channel in batches to your mage tower." I smiled and said, "Now, your library can be expanded." ”
