117. You don't know anything about power
Lu Cheng asked about the ecological development, culture and ideology of the Gray Feather Kingdom, the ethnic composition of the residents, etc., and finally came to the conclusion that the elves of the Gray Feather Kingdom... It's a little different from the elves in Lucheng's imagination.
These elves do not live in trees, they also live in stone houses, and the folklore is more inclined towards humans than the arrogant and elegant elves in the general impression.
They don't live to be more than a thousand years old, and among them they can live to be seventy years old, so Lu Cheng can define them as half-elves.
However, this group of half-elves also inherited some of the racial talents and skills of the elves.
That's when they plant trees, some weird trees.
"The fruit that bears is high-quality iron? Well, this is the world with magic, this is the world with magic. ”
Lu Cheng listened to Agen's description of his country's proud racial talent, and kept muttering two sentences, this is the magical world, and chose to believe Agen's narrative.
But the magic here can eventually be explained by science, and there is also a plant on Earth called cycads, which requires a lot of iron to grow.
Absorbing iron does not necessarily mean that iron grows on the surface of such trees......
The crystalline tree described by Agen could produce the hardness of steel, as well as the same high-quality weapons and armor, and Lujo had originally thought of the idea that the plant could absorb large amounts of iron from the soil.
The question is how much to suck to produce completely hardened fruits, which touches the blind spot of Lucheng's knowledge.
"This is just the Crystal Tree that our Steel Clan has mastered, and there are six other clans that cultivate Crystal Trees with different characteristics." Agen said again.
There are six more who are as good as me?
Lu Cheng has made up his mind to dig the corners of the Far South Empire, no... It should be said that it is to save the inhabitants of the Gray Feather Kingdom who are in dire straits!
"Do any of your seven clans have a clan that can make plants grow faster?" Lu Cheng asked about the most urgently needed ability at the moment.
The basis of all countries is food, and only when you have enough to eat can you think about living in a good house, and then start building cannons.
The greenhouses in the camp have been set up, but it takes a month for the plants to mature at the earliest, two to three months at the slowest and more than three months for the first harvest after the winter has passed.
Lu Cheng wants to know if this world has the magic to speed up the growth of plants, and if it can be effective on a large scale, this trip to the Otherworldly Lu Cheng can be said to be a loss.
"Mr. Lu Cheng, what you are looking for should be the Dark Green Clan, one of my teachers is an elder in the Dark Green Clan, he is not used to the style of the Far South Empire like me, the last time I saw him was in Osprey Harbor, I can talk to him if I have the chance." Agen said.
"Now you have a chance, where are you in Osprey Harbor?"
Lucheng summoned the Crystal Spirit of the Kingdom of Scarley and Grey Feather, and the Crystal Spirit of Scarley was able to move like a normal animal after leaving its realm.
Not long ago, the Shangcheng ship had entered the range of the Gray Feather Kingdom's harbor, but it didn't rush closer...
This is a military strike plan, and keeping the operation covert is the basic of the basics.
Therefore, Lucheng can send Scarley's crystallized spirit to fly to Osprey City to locate a portal for Lucheng.
Agen didn't ask any extra questions, he directly told the location of the elder in Lucheng, and after two hours, before Agen could react to what was going on, he stood on the street of Osprey City again.
……………
The courtyard where the Dark Green Clan is stationed.
Agen managed to meet his teacher in a private capacity.
The elder of the Dark Green Clan had a private appointment with the half-elf prince in a garden.
Lu Cheng disguised himself as a guard and followed Agen's side, and even his clothes were changed into the usual costumes of the Gray Feather Kingdom.
"Mr. Kasia, are you really willing to submit to the rule of the Far Southern Empire like this?"
As a sign of respect, Agen removed the top hat-like hat he wore on his head, and sat in front of him a diminutive old man with a cane in both hands.
Judging by his physique alone, Lu Cheng felt more like a goblin than an elf, the old half-elf had no hair, and his beard grew long enough to be tied into strands of braids.
"Your Highness, if I were twenty years younger, I would gladly accept your invitation to escape from the control of those Far Southerners, but I am too old." The half-elf named Kasia's voice also trembled, "I can go with you myself, but what about my children and grandchildren?" If the dark green clan is saddled with the name of betraying the Far Southern Empire, the Far Southern Empire will not let my children and grandchildren go. ”
"Teacher! If we leave by ship now, the Far South Empire will not necessarily find out, and we can reopen it in any new land in the world. "Agen has been very open-minded after being enlightened by Lu Cheng.
Rather than succumbing to others for generations, it's better to start all over again in a different place!
"Run? New land? Where can we escape? The elder raised his eyelids and looked at the half-elf prince in front of him who needed his own look.
"Your Highness, the Far Southern Empire has now mastered the Blood Crystal Beasts, and the Blood Crystal Beasts that can easily destroy a country are plagued, but the Far Southern Empire can control them and use them as its own weapons! Do you think they raised Bloodcrystals just to look good? At this point, there was only deep fear and awe left in his voice.
"As long as they can control the Blood Crystal Beast all the time, all the countries of this continent will be subservient to the Far South Empire in the future, and when their borders cover the entire Far South, even the world, Your Highness... Where in this world can we traitors live? ”
Agen couldn't find a reason to convince his teacher at this moment, which was also the reason why the Seven Great Clans were willing to submit to the Far Southern Empire.
Lu Cheng looked at the appearance of this tall and short elf sighing face-to-face, and finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"How is the growth of the Blood Crystal Beasts raised by the Far Southern Emperor Country?" Lu Cheng suddenly asked.
"Your Highness Agen, he is..."
The elder noticed Lu Cheng's existence from the beginning, but Lu Cheng didn't speak and he didn't ask Lu Cheng's identity much.
"My ally, a very important ally."
Agen couldn't think of how to describe the identity of Lucheng, the existence of Lucheng and the Shangcheng Ship was too mysterious for Agen.
"Old man, do you know how many Blood Crystal Beasts the Far Southern Empire has raised now?"
Lu Cheng came to this elder as if asking a farmer, 'What is your harvest like this year?'"
"It's... The consuls of the Far Southern Empire will invite the elders of the seven clans to visit the day after tomorrow... A royal city that has been devoured by the Blood Crystal Beast. The elder said this, and there was a little anger and helplessness in his voice, "They said 'to make us understand that our contribution is meaningful', but in fact, it is to show the strength of the Blood Crystal Beast. ”
"The day after tomorrow? Sir, when you go to visit, I suggest you stay away from the royal city. Lu Cheng said.
"Is it because of the Blood Crystal Beast?" He asked, a little inexplicably.
"No, prevent you from being burned by the sun." Lu Cheng pointed to his pupils and said.
