The editor-in-chief of the journal Elemental Theory, the high-ranking magician Bernal Conse, had just made a cup of coffee and was about to start the day's work when the door to the room was violently pushed open.

"Fowles, you should learn what studio etiquette is?" The magician, who prefers to wear formal clothes rather than magic robes even when he is working, takes a sip of his coffee.

"Your Excellency Conse, I believe that after reading this, you won't care about studio etiquette."

"Oh?"

"Among the newly received manuscripts is a proof of the fourth conjecture of the α surface domain."

"It's kind of interesting." Bernal Conse frowned at first, and then became a little interested: "Since you can pass your preliminary examination, it means that this certificate may have some merit?" ”

He obviously didn't believe that anyone had proved the fourth conjecture, but a paper was not necessarily completely worthless, even if it turned out to be wrong.

The editorial clerk named Fowles smiled: "I don't know if there is merit or not, but this submission was passed on through His Excellency Felix. ”

"...... Uproar"

The coffee that Bernal brought to his lips was instantly poured on his expensive coat, as if he had forgotten that he was a high-ranking magician.

"Isn't he working on the 'high-energy collapse of the water elemental' project?" After Bernal calmed down, he asked again: "And His Excellency Felix has the privilege of not having to be reviewed, why do you still submit articles from ordinary channels?" ”

"Just take a look at it, it's not His Excellency Felix's own paper."

An hour later.

The five red-tailed eagles flew to the residences of five experts in the field of elemental theory in the Western Continent with letters.

They are all long-time reviewers of The Theory of the Elements, and they are also magicians with extremely high status within the Federation.

Bernal watched the red-tailed eagle leave, and only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief.

"From now on, don't come to the office to disturb me, I have to take a good look at this certificate too." As the editor-in-chief of Elemental Theory, he is an expert in this field himself.

However, it was not long before the office door was slammed open again.

"Etiquette! Falls! Manners! And I said, don't come and bother me. ”

"Lord Conse." Fowles completely ignored the editor-in-chief's rant and continued: "Your Excellency Felix's paper. ”

"What kind of paper, hasn't it already been sent?"

"No, this time it's Felix's own paper." Falls hastened to explain.

Bernal: "......"

……

On the sixth day, Colin was basically mastered by the first natural spell.

Compared to when you were able to cast a decent fireball just after awakening, it was much slower.

The fact that the druids don't use spell models made him awkward for a long time, but once he became proficient, Colin found that this method was not only easier, but also greatly faster to cast spells.

He immediately wondered if he could use it for other spells.

But obviously, this is overthinking.

If it were that easy, in the forty thousand years that natural magic had been formed, it would have been impossible for a mage not to have thought of it.

Colin was not disappointed.

Natural magic is not strictly a spell in the modern sense, and according to this premise, space magic may be completely different from the existing magic system?

He hadn't thought about this before, but first, the skill of "teleportation" did still require a spell model, and second, in the absence of precedent, it was difficult for him to imagine a new magic system out of thin air.

But the natural spells taught by Olivia gave him an inspiration.

The advanced magic of the four elements, I have already involved two of them, if I go to find the little girl of the coral again......

Colin quickly stopped thinking.

If you can't chew too much, let's figure out a little bit about the grand and profound druids first.

……

Inside the twilight plantation.

"It's amazing."

Sophia watched as the lord helped her "grow" a misty fern leaf and an improved red winter grass in a row.

These two medicinal plants are prepared for the coral.

Apothecary and botany, especially herbology, are closely related, and since Coral received the students that the lord promised her, Sophia's workload has also increased.

"Still not skilled enough." Colin shook his head.

Compared to Olivia, he is far from each other in terms of proficiency and speed.

For example, it only took Olivia a dozen seconds to spawn the fog fern leaf in front of her to a state six months later, while Colin needed nearly five minutes.

But when I think that I have studied for six days with a full score, this is already quite a good result.

"My lord, what's the name of this magic?" Sophia knew that the lord had learned it from the elves, but she didn't know the nature of druidism.

"I named it 'Pulling Seedlings to Grow.'" Colin said with a little bad taste.

"It's a weird word, but it's apt." Sophia grinned.

"The rest is up to you." Colin put his hands back in his pockets.

At present, the work of improving crops is basically done by Sophia, but Colin does not care about everything, after all, some difficult "surgeries" still need to be operated by himself. In fact, whether it is Wald's "magic energy" project or Sophia's cutting-edge research here, Colin always pays attention to it, after all, these two are related to the direction of Shaya's future development.

"Your Excellency." Sophia seemed to remember some exciting news, and her eyes lit up: "Over at the pasture, if nothing else, the first batch of livestock can be slaughtered next week." ”

Colin was silent for a moment, then said with relief, "Good. ”

After arriving at the fortress for a full year and a half, Colin can finally let everyone really eat meat, and it is not easy to think about the road to development.

It wasn't completely devoid of animal husbandry in the past, but the environment around the Dragon's Back Mountains had only two months of pasture growth per year, making it impossible to breed them in large quantities. The few livestock, and the few that had to be made into easy-to-preserve jerky, were not enough for the fortress guards, let alone the inhabitants of Winterfell.

Before coming to the fortress, Colin often had a lustful heart, thinking that one year of food and clothing, two years of well-off, and three years of building all aircraft and artillery.

However, when it really came, I found that even if everything is going well now, the development of the fortress can only be regarded as just beginning.

For a year and a half, he, the lord, had only just made the people able to smell meat.

And that's just Twilight.

If you count the whole of Xiaya, most people are still on the verge of hunger and cold every day.

Sophia didn't know what Colin was thinking, and in her opinion, it took the new lord just over a year to build the fortress and city to this extent, which was incredible.

"My lord, this is mainly due to the ryegrass you brought, they are so good at growing, and we have the most abundant forage reserves at present."

"When the production of cereals and legumes is increased by another notch in the future, we can consider giving livestock more feed options." Even if he wasn't good at biology, Colin knew that grain-fed meat was better than grass-fed.

"I'm sure it will happen soon." Sophia said confidently.
