Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Man Who Harvested the Wheat Straw
Endless green fields with thick layers of green on flat ground. There are a lot www.biquge.info of peasant-like people in the fields who are quickly harvesting the green plants, and they look eager, as if they are racing against something.
This is the capital of Ahi, the famous city of mages, Graben.
Graben is the only city on the Great Plains of Visa, and probably one of the grandest cities on the entire continent.
Golden tiles were paved everywhere in the city, and the walls and houses were built by a precious and rare gold crystal, a metal that was more precious and rare than gold, also shining golden yellow, but more dazzling than gold, and this metal did not reflect the light of the sun, so it did not dazzle people's eyes.
The most important thing is that this precious metal is a rare metal that can ban demons and suppress fighting spirit.
If it weren't for the fact that Yahi was the capital of minerals, it would be impossible to find so many Chuyun Golden Crystals to build such a city. Moreover, the city is the work of the dwarven masters, and with the ideas of the elves, it can be said that this city is one of the most beautiful and useless cities in existence.
After all, cities are mainly used for people.
No city can be infinitely large, there is only one city in the Great Plain of Visa, Graben, and no other place can be abandoned.
So, the archmages planted a plant called wheat grass on this plain.
The plant looks like wheat, but it doesn't ripen at all. When the plants are planted, they will grow to a height of about 1.5 meters in just a few hours, and then they will stop growing, as long as there is enough water and even the soil is not too demanding.
The plant is rich in starch, which means that the plant is dried and crushed, and then eaten after a series of processing.
It's a good emergency food in famine, as long as it's not in drought years.
But if it were just that, the mages wouldn't have grown such things.
Wheat grass is a plant that naturally contains a faint magical element, although it is weak, it must not be ignored. This means that if you use food made from wheat straw for a long time, you can increase your magical talent.
Moreover, wheat grass is a rare plant that does not exclude any of the elements, whether it is light or dark, they are acceptable. Wheatgrass does not bear fruit and does not bloom, so the magical elements they gather are stored on the leaves.
However, it is impossible for each leaf to have two or more magical elements. Even two magical elements, ice and water, which have the same roots, cannot exist at the same time.
Because if ice and water are stored in the same place at the same time, then the final result is either the water element devouring the ice element or the ice element assimilating the water element, and the final result is still only one.
However, it is possible to gather all the elements on a wheat grass tree, because a wheat grass plant will grow many leaves.
Ace appeared in the vast wheat meadow with the silver starlight, and looked up, but could not see anything.
The average height of the wheat grass has exceeded the height of one Ace, and even more than ten centimeters higher, so the only thought of Ace's little Lori standing in the wheat grass field is that she can't see anything!
Pouting dissatisfiedly, Little Lori pouted her head, thought about it and still didn't fly, but walked slowly in the direction where the familiar breath in her perception was, and as she walked, she folded a few leaves on some wheat grass, or stopped to carve a few words on the leaves of a wheat straw.
Not long after leaving, Little Lori met someone, and that was also the person Little Lori was looking for.
This person wears a straw hat on his head, and he is not surprised by the sudden appearance of little Lori, as if he has noticed it a long time ago.
This is also in Ace's expectation, if this thing shows a surprised expression at the arrival of the little Lori, I'm afraid the little Lori will turn black and leave directly.
It was an ordinary-looking old man, with a dark and oily face with some wrinkles, and a crumpled dirty garment with countless patches on it.
No matter how you look at it, the old man was like a different peasant, and even though Ace was already standing behind him, he didn't look back.
The old man held a swarthy scythe in his hand, and the blade of the scythe had several broken notches, which looked very old, and the old man was harvesting wheat straw with this scythe.
The movements of his hands were fast, and one after another of the straw was harvested under his hands, and then tied together.
The movements in his hands were smooth, as if he had done it a thousand times, and behind him, a large open space had been cut. Little Lori is now standing in such an open space, watching the old man's movements with interest. By the way, from time to time, when I look at it, I put the wheat straw harvested by the old man into the bracelet.
After watching the old man's action of harvesting wheat straw for a while, and then seeing that the old man's current direction is not in the kind he wants in the near future, the corner of Ace's mouth hooked a smile, and then closed her eyes, hollowed her mind, and let her consciousness drift along the texture of the wheat field.
Consciousness seems to cover the heavens and the earth, and Eth is now looking down on the earth from the sky, the perspective of the legendary God.
Only Eth's level of spiritual power can make such a feat, using his own spiritual power to completely cover the entire Visa Plain, even the golden city has not been spared, Eth can feel that there are a few of them that are quite powerful spiritual fluctuations, in the endless release, as if they are patrolling.
The corners of Ise's mouth were indifferently hooked, and her eyes suddenly opened, and there was a flash of coldness in them.
She could feel that a few of the little ones had spotted her and were heading here, but the Great Plain of Visa was too big for them to reach for a while.
Ace could sense that there were people harvesting the wheat grass at every distance on the plain that had become a pasture, and they were not satisfied with their speed, and a few of them seemed to feel Ace's presence, and the movements of their hands paused, looked at the sky, but then lowered their heads and continued to pass through the wheat grass.
Ace knew that these were mages, those mages who were high up in the sky.
And there are many high-level mages among them, you must know that these are the backbone or even high-level forces of the Yahi Empire, and now they are personally cutting wheat straw here.
On weekdays, most of these mages are pampered, and they can even be said to be the kind of people who are used to stretching their hands for clothes and opening their mouths for food, but now they are all cutting wheat straw here, and they seem to feel that they are cutting too slowly.
Ace was sneering, these mages!
Ace swept over, and Ace knew that there were no civilians here, not even a few apprentices.
All of them here are intermediate and above archmages, as for how Ise knows, these mages who are buried in farmers have not taken off the badges on their faces and chests, and even little Lori found that the archmages who only wore pajamas and even shorts were working hard there.
At this time, the old man in front of the little Lori spoke, did not look back, and did not stop the movements in his hands.
"What are you doing here?"
