Chapter 41: Lucien's Wish
The emerald green dress was as fresh as a long dress inlaid with leaves, but Alestine's expression was not like this, she looked at Lucien with a frosty face and said, "Mr. Evans, how is your analysis of the two divine techniques of 'Thorn Bush' and 'Source of Harvest'? Could it be that you, a Holm Crown Award winner, are not as famous as the 'Elemental Order' of theirs?It is said that there are quite a few mid-level arcanists in it!"
Her tone was almost questioning, suspecting that Lucien was either perfunctory in delaying his brother and sister, or that he had no ability to match his reputation, and that he was just a guy who had won the Holm Crown by luck!
Theodore and Julien became vigilant, fearing that Exirion and Ellerstin would suddenly attack and break away from the "Arcane Research Group".
Lucien pushed down the glasses with the gold wire side chain and replied "meticulously", "Princess Elestine, because the magic mark you provided is incomplete, so I am making slow progress. Other mid-level arcanists were able to start planting experiments so quickly, maybe the druids in charge of their group had a 'good arcane talent' and were able to paint complete magic marks, don't you think?"
The language is sarcastic but seems to be serious, and it is impersonal.
"Even so, as a Holm Crown Award winner, you won't be clueless!" asked Exilion after a few seconds of speechlessness.
Afraid that any more perfunctory rebuke would cause the suspicion and strong backlash of Eximore and Elastine, Lucien put away the paper on which he practiced the basics of mathematics and physics, and replied very seriously: "Of course, I have analyzed part of the principle after three days of research, 'Thorn Growth' is to stimulate the inside of shrubs and plants and directly use magic energy to simulate a few elements to promote plant growth, while 'Harvest Source' is to stimulate plant cells and extract nutrients from the soil to supply it needs, so that the soil loses a lot of nutrients but cannot be replenished." Therefore, the former consumes a lot of your natural mental power, while the latter has less. The former will not damage the soil, while the latter will. ”
"As for which nutrients or elements are extracted, because the divine imprint is incomplete, I can't parse it. ”
"You. Have you parsed to this extent?" Although they were questioning before, after hearing Lucian's answer, Ellerstin and Exirion were still a little unconvinced, relying on the incomplete divine imprint and only taking three days to analyze the construction principles of these two divine arts?
Lucien smiled slightly, "Didn't you just question my Holm Crown Award as a fluke?"
Since he was sent to perfunctory the two elven royals. The materials of the other research groups came to Lucien in secret, and even the next day, the three Grand Arcanists and the authoritative high-level Arcanists such as Ravendi had analyzed the construction principles of most of the low-level divine arts. Begin to concentrate on sensing and exploring the so-called "will of nature", analyzing and studying what it is, what it is made of, what will respond to the druid's request, and what will provide divine magic.
This was a difficult and esoteric subject, so Malfurion's request for the task of using the analyzed principles to construct magic and then simplify the refining of alchemical items that could be popularized was given to other high-level and mid-level arcanists. Otherwise, this kind of project can be undertaken by a few Grand Arcanists themselves. It can be done completely secretly, and there is no need to draw so many arcanists to cooperate.
And the analyzed principle of divine construction made Lucien sure that the elements needed by ordinary plants in this world world were nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc., and the needs of magic plants were much more complicated.
"Mr. Evans, since you have analyzed it, why don't you tell us?" was blocked by Lucian's words. Exilion hastened to change the subject.
Lucien had a puzzled and puzzled expression: "Because I only analyzed it last night, I haven't had time to tell the two of you." In fact, even if you don't come, I'll go to you, and then we'll go to the field to conduct experiments to determine what kind of elements are needed for the growth of oats and other grains. ”
Given that the magic imprints he had obtained were incomplete, Lucien certainly wouldn't tell them directly what elements they were predominantly in, and the planting experiment was time-consuming, making it a necessary choice for procrastination and perfunctory.
Seeing Lucien's expression, the suspicions in Ellerstin and Exirion's hearts dispelled slightly, and they followed him to the hundred acres of land east of the town.
Lucien casually carved out an acre of fertile land and commanded, "Mr. Theodor, Mr. Julian, please take the trouble to determine the content of the various elements in this soil. ”
The magic that determines the elemental content is the second ring, and Theodor and Julian are battle mages, and they have not built it in their souls to assist in magic experiments, so when they are released, they need to recite the spell, and they need to use the corresponding purified elements as the casting materials, and measure them one by one, and it took nearly two hours to record the various elemental content of this soil.
"Since we have only found 67 elements so far, we can only measure these, and there may be elements that are needed by plants such as oats but we have not yet discovered them. Lucien, as a "qualified" arcanist, naturally explained the premise of the experiment, and then instructed the farmer to sow oats according to the experience they had learned over the years.
When the farmers were done busy, in the steep cold wind, Lucien said to the two elves: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Royal Highness the Princess, please use the Harvest Source Magic Technique to make these oats sprout and grow and ripen. ”
A faint green light flew out of Ellerstine's body, enveloping the acre. It didn't take long for the oats to sprout. Then Exilion and Ellerstin alternately cast two "harvest sources", and finally made this acre of oats really "harvest" in ten minutes!
And the trainee druid has to use apprentice-level magic for at least a month to achieve this effect.
"Monsieur Theodor and Monsieur Julian, please determine the amount of each element in the present soil. "As the leader of the experimental team, Lucien naturally has the right not to do anything.
Looking at the busy Theodor and Julian, and looking at the oats in the harvest scene, Elastine said with some confusion and hatred: "I have no objection to human beings hunting for survival, but since you humans can grow food and have food to survive, why do you have to hunt animals and eat meat for enjoyment? Every year, a large number of cute animals that have not yet entered the natural cycle are killed by you humans to show off, so that they are decreasing day by day." ”
After speaking. She looked at Lucien with a serious gaze, "Mr. Evans, you are not incapable of buying bread and vegetarian food, why do you need to eat meat? Many animals will not die in large numbers. ”
Lucien said absentmindedly, "Because our body structure is different from that of elves, and most of the meat is raised on the estate. Also, if any animal is on the verge of extinction, please let me know. I will push for their protection, not because I pity them, for me. Outside of intelligent beings, unless I feed them all the time, I will not have similar emotions, but to protect the diversity of living things, and indirectly protect ourselves. ”
Ellestin understood most of Lucien's "gibberish" words, and completely despaired of him: "In short, you just won't give up your dirty desire for enjoyment. ”
Lucien didn't answer, but looked at the harvest of oats in front of him in a daze. The vast majority of human beings in this world cannot even eat enough, and survival and development come first.
Lucien has a good impression of Malfurion, the elven druid, and the fact that he wants to find a way to increase food production is something to be admired, no less than the Church overthrew the ancient magic empire that enslaved mankind.
Lucien though cautious. With their own strength and safety as the most important, but under this premise, they still raise their hands and feet in favor of this feat that can save countless people, admire it from the bottom of their hearts, and are willing to make their own contributions to it.
"In the words of the previous life, this is called immeasurable merit, and ten thousand families are born Buddhas. Lucien himself quipped, and letting the underclass enjoy the benefits of magic is also a good way to shake the foundation of the church's faith, slow and inconspicuous, but real. At the same time, the increase in food production is also a good thing for the nobles and magicians who own the estates, and no one will refuse, "According to the rules of the Magic Council, I am afraid that it will also bring a considerable and continuous income to the people who find it." ”
After arriving in this magical world, the last thing Lucien is used to is the change in living conditions, except for a little better in Alinge, the others are not as convenient and colorful as on earth.
Needless to say, when you don't have the ability, but if you have enough strength and don't expose your secrets, then why don't you try to promote the development of human society and let the world change in the direction you want?
Lucien had a beautiful but difficult desire in his heart, but he quickly came back to his senses and suppressed the little "ambition" brought about by the druid's research project, the food had to be eaten in one bite, and the road had to be walked step by step!
"Mr. Evans, it has been determined that the elements that are missing are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and a small amount of ......," Theodor and Julian walked back to report to Lucian.
Lucien nodded: "After that, we will collect different substances containing these elements to see which ones can be absorbed by oats and the like, so as to simplify the design of magic and alchemy." And we divided the field into a part of the test to study what symptoms can occur if different elements are missing. His Royal Highness the Prince and Princess, please cooperate. ”
Other experimental teams led by elemental mages should begin similar experiments, but who will discover the secret of fertilizer?
It is not difficult to make simple chemical fertilizers, sulfuric acid can treat phosphate rock, and designing the magic array to produce sulfuric acid stably is the result of the Magic Council now, but for what such treatment can be absorbed by plants, the principle of which involves a university question. Without theoretical guidance, relying solely on experimental exploration, Lucien was not very optimistic about their progress.
There are many ways to grow, but most of them have been summed up by the working people, and the only ones that can be popularized and have obvious effects are the sound of the water conservancy and irrigation system, the growth of land fertility and the selection and breeding of hybrid breeds, the former has been put on the agenda by the Magic Council because of drought and other factors, and the knowledge involved in the latter is not yet dared to be taken out by Lucian's current strength, and there are magical creatures in this world, which may not be suitable, and a lot of experiments are needed to verify.

The Holy City of Reims, the Hall of Light.
A knight in silver-white armor knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, the Magic Council is trying to explore the realm of the gods, this is the greatest blasphemy, I want to ask for the start of the Second Dawn War, an all-out attack on the Magic Council!" (To be continued.) )
