Chapter 49 Water Nursery
Early the next morning, Dak, Isabella, and Yupanki returned to the Citadel and were immediately treated like heroes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Duck They had a detailed and in-depth conversation with Chief Hall Addison, and Isabella was reluctant to get involved in these matters and ran to talk to Riley.
She ran through the castle to find Riley, and finally, led by Berriana, she sailed up the river on a small raft and found her on the river a kilometer away from the castle.
The raft had not gone far before it was stopped by a group of river god guards from the Divine Castle, who knew two girls, but gently but firmly refused their request to pass, saying that there were many big men in it who were farming and that no one was allowed to pass. At this time, Bai Liana's mother arrived, and the guards let her go.
It turned out that Bai Liana's mother found that her daughter was gone in a blink of an eye, and was afraid that she would disappear again, but fortunately, some servants saw that she and a female dark messenger were going upstream on a raft, and she hurried after her.
"Mom, Sister Riley is inside, Sister Isabella has something to do with her, what is she doing in there?
"You girl, you've run away again! Make the Dark Messenger laugh! You really want to know, ask your father for a warrant and come again." ”
"No, I'm going to go in and see, and the guards will listen to you. ”
"No, go back!"
"Really, let's go, Sister Isabella. ”
"No, the Dark Emissary can go in, you must go back with me!"
"Oh, don't—"
Although Isabella couldn't understand the conversation between the mother and daughter, she could guess by looking at their expressions, she grinned, gently grabbed Bai Liana's arm, and said to Bai Liana's mother: "Auntie, not everyone can speak Dolan German, I need a translator." ”
Bai Liana was overjoyed and hurriedly translated the past word for word, and the doting mother sighed helplessly and compromised.
The raft carefully drilled through the gaps in the rafts, and walked upriver for another five or six minutes, and more rafts and rafts appeared, lined up in the middle of the river, and Bai Liana was surprised to find that in addition to some elite river god guards standing on the rafts, there were actually several tribal elders and elders of the Yanoma tribe, all of whom stretched their necks and stood on tiptoe to look forward at something.
An elite river god guard found them, the raft leaned over and asked, Bai Liana quickly explained, the river god guard nodded, agreed to let them go, but immediately advised: "There are foreign elders inside, please pay attention to the young lady." ”
"Got it, I hate it, people are like crazy babes - what the hell are you doing?"
"Mistress Riley is teaching the elders and artisans to grow food on the river. ”
The two girls' eyes widened together: "Growing food on the river?"
"I don't know what's going on, you two want to know, you can go and see, but be careful not to disturb them. ”
"Thank you. ”
The two girls paddled the raft as they approached, and Riley spotted them and beckoned them to lean over. Seeing that there was another dark messenger among the visitors, the elders of the two clans came over to greet each other, and Isabella replied skillfully and naturally.
After the pleasantries, Isabella asked Riley, "I heard that you grow food on the river, how did you do that?"
Riley grinned, "I won't tell you, you come and see me first!" said to the elders, "Elders, it's almost time, let's get closer and have a look!"
Isabella and Beryana sat on Riley's wooden raft, and two elite river god guards paddled as the wooden raft slowly moved forward.
The first thing that catches your eye is a small wooden row one meter square, with thick ropes hanging at the four corners, stretched straight, and the other end of the rope must have fallen heavy objects, or it may be a stone. On the small wooden row, a two-section totem pole is constantly releasing a yellow and green halo.
"A totem fixed on the surface of the river?Earth and Light bonuses?What is this for?"
Looking at Isabella, who had a question mark on her stomach, Riley said, "Calm down, you'll know after a while." ”
In front of me, a large double row of wooden shelves five meters long and two meters wide appeared silently floating on the surface of the river, the wooden shelves were covered with thick silt, and several craftsmen were busy scattering seeds of unknown crops into the silt.
On the other side of the wooden frame, in the thick silt, fine shoots of tender yellow have sprouted, and some have turned dark green.
Isabella let out a cry of surprise came from behind her, and one of the elders of the Divine Citadel jumped onto the wooden frame with an age-appropriate agility, kneeling to his knees despite the dirty mud, holding a lump of silt in both hands, and laughing out loud in the sky.
"Really, really can grow corn on the river!"
"Yes, yes, it's only been two days, and it's already sprouted!"
"It's your totem that works! Two days, two days! In this way, it only takes one and a half months to harvest this corn crop...... No, a month, a month!"
"No, no, no, we can't grow corn, we have to rely on your craftsmen and growers"
"Okay, okay, what's the use of you pushing around? Who gave these things?"
The words startled the dreamer, and all the tribal elders knelt down towards Riley in unison: "Thank you to the god of darkness for giving us such a great skill!"
After listening to the translation, Riley straightened her chest and belly, and crossed her hands on her hips: "Get up! It's just a small skill of carving insects, the skills of the dark god are far more than these, if you want it, you just be honest and obedient!"
Isabella put her hand on her forehead, what kind of speech is this, really have to be a dark god, hearing the believers preach like this, still fainting alive? However, looking at the appearance of these elders, it seems that they are very fond of this?
Those elders could no longer think that the water nursery spread out on the river, which could be harvested once a month, meant explosive growth in food production, explosive growth in population, explosive growth in strength and...... A more powerful tribal alliance!
Riley left the tribal elders in a half-insane state and continued to paddle around the water nursery with Isabella and Bailiana.
"It's an experiment. When I was in the Citadel, I found that some people put silt in special open-air cabins to grow crops, so I wondered if I could plant them directly on the river, and I discussed it with George, and he was very much in favor of this idea, and we combined the cabin planting technology of the Citadel with Yanoma's totem technique, and we had this experiment. Looks like it's working pretty well. The next step is to build a bigger water nursery!"
Isabella high-fived and exclaimed: "In this way, all rivers, lakes, and swamps can be turned into stable food production areas." However, no matter how big it is, will it block the shipping lane?"
"What else do you want to do in the channel, don't move the castle, just moor it directly on the shore, and everyone will live on land like before!"
Beryana couldn't speak, and grinned like a fool.
Riley's eyes lit up: "It's not all, think about it, from now on, can these two tribes still be separated, can they still be separated from us?"
Isabella pinched her little nose slightly, "What a little slippery head! By the way, what about Royce, why didn't you see him?"
"George sent him out, sneaking around, not knowing what to do. I must be holding back my bad idea again!"
