I haven't seen her for a month, and Sophia's "Twilight Plantation" is completely different from before.

Large tracts of land were fenced off with short wooden piles of the same length, which was not meant to be an urgent task, but it was clear that the duke's niece was obsessive-compulsive, and not only fenced the fields, but also divided the fields into squares of uniform size, with the edges of the extra places preferred not to look untidy rather than untidy.

Eighty percent of the plantation's land is used to grow grains, legumes, vegetables, etc., and the remaining two percent are used for the research and development of new crops, and the other one percent is dedicated to the development and cultivation of new varieties of mint.

Sophia was well aware of what these 22 elves meant to the fortress, so she spent a lot of time on it.

"Your Excellency Olivia, these are the latest varieties to be cultivated this year, if it goes well, you will be able to see samples in three months, and then you can choose a few of them you like, and then increase the scale of planting."

After Sophia finished her introduction, she looked at the lord on the side.

Colin nodded his head to show satisfaction with her work.

"Three months to wait?" Olivia was old enough to be the ancestor of everyone present, and she was usually elegant and calm, but when it came to mint, she showed eagerness like all elves.

"It can't be helped." Sophia smiled helplessly: "There are indeed some ripening potions that can be used, but on the one hand, I am afraid that the quality will be affected, and on the other hand, the effect of ripening is also limited." ”

Colin explained, "Among the earth and water magic, there are also a few spells that can speed up the growth of plants, maybe I can try it, but it can only reduce the time by about a month at most. ”

"I haven't heard of a similar spell in human magic......"

As she spoke, Olivia stretched out her slender right hand and spread her palm downwards to envelop a mint seedling.

In everyone's shocked gaze, the mint plant actually grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The rhizome slowly thickens, and the branches and leaves slowly flourish until they grow to a half-human height, a ripe mint.

It only took about half a minute.

Olivia reached out and plucked a leaf, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it, then put it in her mouth.

After chewing for a moment, he shook his head.

"This one is very average, not as good as it was at the beginning." The elegant elf had a look of regret.

"Druidism, as expected, lives up to its name." Colin sighed.

The natural spells that evolved from the water spells, called druids by the elves, are now very different from the human magic system, and have great characteristics in both combat and support.

This doesn't mean that an elven druid is necessarily better than a water magister, but it's true that natural magic can do many things that humans can't.

For example, this trick of plant incubation is not possible with all human magic.

"Lord Olivia, what's the name of this spell?" Colin's curiosity about natural spells has not been a day or two for a long time.

"No name." Olivia Road.

"No name?"

Such a powerful and practical spell that it doesn't have a name?

Olivia said: "Druid, that is, the natural spell in your human mouth, although it evolved from the water spell, but in fact, the essence is very different, I don't know what the situation is between the necromancy and the light spell, but at least the druid, there is no spell model." ”

"No spell models?"

Colin was really surprised this time.

According to modern continental magic theory, one of the three laws of magic is that it must have a unique and repeatable spell model.

This means that a model can only correspond to one spell, and anyone who uses the same spell model must cast the same spell, only the difference is strength and weakness.

The model determines the spell, and the mental power determines the strength.

This is the most basic nature of magic.

But the druids don't even have a spell model?

And that's not the only thing that surprised Colin.

According to the advanced rules, druids have the same status as their own spatial magic.

But it was clear that his spatial magic was independently deconstructed by referring to the theory of wind spells.

Is it on the wrong path?

Colin quickly calmed down.

It shouldn't be a mistake, because teleportation is a skill that has already been implemented.

But maybe there's more than one way to go?

He suddenly developed a strong interest in light spells and necromancy.

If he could have more references, it should be of great help to him to master space magic thoroughly.

At one point, Colin even considered whether he could really join the Church of Light. Anyway, don't want money, trust a little.

Natural spells were strictly forbidden by the elven great druids for generations, so even Roman Sagan didn't know anything about it, otherwise the teacher would have told him these things.

Colin was silent for a long time, and then asked, "Lord Olivia, if there is no spell model, how do the elves cast spells?" ”

"That's the biggest difference between elves and humans." Olivia said: "All elves are born with spiritual power, which may not increase strength, but it can allow us to control mental power more freely...... Therefore, the druid spell is cast directly after relying on mental power and water elemental communication to trigger communication. ”

"That sounds too hard to understand."

Colin smiled bitterly, even with his own talent, he couldn't imagine how to communicate directly with the elements without the help of a spell model in a short period of time.

He didn't dwell on this anymore, anyway, he couldn't learn natural magic just by listening to a few introductions, not to mention that druid magic was a secret art that the elves never passed on.

"Lord Olivia, would you like to try a few more mint plants?" Colin asked with a smile.

"Nope." Olivia shook her head: "Using spells to affect plant growth, just like the actions of humans to modify the embryo soil, is an act of destroying nature in the eyes of our elves, and it is no longer appropriate for me to do that just now." ”

Colin remembered that Elloyd had said something similar and nodded in understanding.

But there was something funny in my heart.

Don't want to use magic to affect the growth of plants, but like to eat mint that humans have improved and grown, the elves are really principled adaptors.

"That's a shame." Colin's plan to take another closer look at the natural spell fell through.

"No regrets."

I only heard Olivia's tone of voice naturally say: "Although it is inconvenient for me to do this directly, I can teach you this skill, and you can speed up the variety improvement experiment of mint." ”

The elegant elf lowered his head and thought for a moment before nodding his head in confirmation, "That's right, it's a way to kill two birds with one stone." ”

Colin: "......"
