Isn't there a nobleman in Marton County who takes in refugees? This is naturally impossible, you must know that Marton County, which is also a border county, is also a very underpopulated county, and it is impossible to let so many refugees cross the border.

And there are many refugees in Marton County, which is a bit unbelievable, the orc invasion has passed, why are there still refugees?

Delai soon gave him an answer, and according to the refugees, several counties in the Gothic province had rebelled after the orc invasion, and it had also spread to the county of Marton.

Now that a kind of aristocracy in Marton County is already anxious, and is busy pacifying the rebellious people, it is natural to take care of these refugees, and it is said that there are hundreds of thousands of refugees who have fled this time, which shows how large the scope of this rebellion is.

"Rebellion, how long has it been since there has been such a large-scale rebellion in the history of Tistan......"

Ryan was silent at first, then sighed, which was not a good sign.

But it's just a sigh, it seems that the rebellion can't affect Kana at the moment, so it won't have any effect on Ryan, but will bring a lot of labor.

Population is what Lane needs most at the moment, and with a population of just over 20,000 at the moment, Kanna is far from enough, and he will not refuse these refugees.

But soon Delai poured cold water on him.

"We can't continue to accept refugees, the city used to have a lot of food surplus, but it has already accepted thousands of refugees, and recently it has accepted more than 2,000.

Our food reserves have now reached a very dangerous point, and if we continue to receive a large number of refugees, we will soon fall into a food crisis! ”

With a wry smile, Delai handed over a piece of vellum paper, which recorded the amount of food that Dorman City needed to consume in a day, as well as the amount of food stored in the city.

It is clearly marked that the grain will only last until the summer grain harvest, and no matter how many people there are, they will be hungry.

"The people outside the city should still have some food stocks, right?"

"Yes, but no one can say how many, after all, the orcs are looting everywhere after the rampant, who knows how many are left, we can't bet."

Delai unceremoniously blocked Ryan's thoughts, in the southern border counties have always been sparsely populated, coupled with high grain production, so even if they have been facing raids, there is rarely a shortage of food.

If Ryan makes the people hungry, his position in the hearts of the people will immediately return to the way he started, and all the previous investment will be wasted.

Ryan suddenly felt a little headache, sat on the chair and pondered before gritting his teeth and said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we can't just give up expansion, even if it's to buy food with money." ”

"However, the surrounding territories are no longer accepting refugees, and if we want to come with food, where else can we buy it?"

"If you can't buy food around, go farther away to buy food, I'll find a way, you just need to continue to accept refugees!" Ryan said with a determined gaze.

As soon as Delai left, Ryan began to write letters, not to anyone else, but to his old boss, Viscount Chels.

The territories of the two families are actually quite close, but Ryan has not visited, and now he has to ask for help, if you want to talk about food, as the only viscounty in Linton County, Chels is definitely not lacking.

Coupled with the previous friendship between the two, Ryan realized that it should not be difficult to buy some food, and it was acceptable to add money.

It was only surprising that before his letter was finished, a messenger sent by Chels arrived at the castle first, reportedly bringing a letter from Chels.

Ryan received the knight from afar in the hall, and the knight seemed to be in a hurry, and after handing over the letter to Ryan, he politely refused Ryan's hospitality, and left in a hurry.

He didn't force it, and only after checking the emblem on it and making sure that no one had opened it did he open it, and inside was a handwritten letter from Chels, as well as a gilded invitation.

The contents of the letter are as follows:

Dear Ray,

How have you been? I was amazed and pleasantly surprised to know that your fiefdom was in Lintonshire, it was something I had always dreamed of......

Oh, and I would like to congratulate you on your success in repelling the orc attack, as good as ever at surprising people. Did you know that my knight captain was already on the road with a squad of knights, but unexpectedly received the news of the orc rout halfway through......

Okay, let's get down to business, the Zhengdan Festival is approaching, and I now sincerely invite you to my territory to attend the banquet, the time is just three days before the Zhengdan Festival, I hope you can come to participate......

After reading this somewhat informal letter, Ryan felt a little warm in his heart, there was no need for Chels to deceive him, he said that if he sent someone, he would definitely send it.

You must know that his territory was also facing the attack of the orcs at that time, and he could still take care of himself at that time, this favor was heavy.

Although it was not used in the end, Ryan still remembered the kindness.

After calculating the time, he found that the date of the banquet was still more than ten days away, and it happened that he still had a request for the other party, so he had to save writing a letter, and it was better to have a direct interview.

"Maybe we can try the green sugar market when the time comes." Ryan muttered to himself, the green sugar has not stopped refining during this time, although the output is not high, but it has also accumulated a little.

If it can be sold, it will definitely bring a large amount of money to the territory, and maybe the money to buy grain will come out of it......

Time passed in a hurry, one day, Xiyue, who had been lying in bed for a long time, could finally get out of bed and move, although the fracture of the right hand still needed a considerable amount of time to recuperate, but it did not affect the activity.

The first thing she did after she was able to move was to go to the kitchen, which startled Joel, who was working on a new snack, although she knew that there was a special guest living in the castle, but she never expected it to be a beautiful elf.

Under his dull gaze, Xiyue took away his newly made dim sum.

Although Xiyue is lying in bed these days, she feels that she is in heaven, and she can eat many delicious snacks and sweets every afternoon, just like soaking in a honey pot.

So she decided to thank Ryan, but thinking she couldn't go empty-handed, she robbed Ryan's kitchen and brought a snack.

Ryan looked at the snacks on the plate in front of him, his expression was a little strange, he looked at Xiyue and said, "Do you have any special obsession with robbing my kitchen?" ”

"What, don't I thank you for saving my life? It's delicious. ”

Xiyue picked up a piece from the plate and sat opposite Ryan, a pair of long legs overlapped together, quite eye-catching.

Everyone will feel amazing when they see it, their skin is white and beautiful and their legs are long, but when they look up to their chests, they will unanimously feel that it is a pity, there is an airport.

"If you eat too much, be careful of tooth decay, how does it feel, it won't leave sequelae, right?" Ryan pursed his lips and asked with a slight concern.

Xiyue's small mouth was stuffed with snacks, and when she heard this, she moved her broken right arm, and said with some curiosity: "I recovered quickly before, but now I have slowed down, and I don't know what kind of treasure you use, it is somewhat similar to the water of life of my clan." ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Ryan had always wanted to figure out what the source force was, and now when he heard Xiyue say this, he couldn't help but have an idea.

"Naturally, it's not as good as the famous water of life, this thing was also obtained by accident, I don't know what it is, you are well-informed and can help me see what it is."

Saying that, Ryan pretended to get up, entered the room and tinkered, in fact, it was just a drop of source liquid to come out.

The reason why he did this was also with the idea of what if, the elven race is the oldest known civilization race in the continent, and it is also recognized as having a profound heritage.

And because of their longevity, the early growth is slow, and it is a full 100 years old to be considered an adult, which is unimaginable in human society, and many people's lives are not so long.

During this period of adulthood, they will have been receiving all kinds of education, except for a few scumbags, it can be said that almost everyone is very knowledgeable, maybe Xiyue will be able to recognize what the source liquid is?

A huge and pure wave of magic power bloomed from his fingertips, and the body of the elf who was feasting outside shook slightly, and this breath ......

She couldn't take care of it for a while, and set her eyes on the room where Ryan was, her heart was full of curiosity, that feeling was very wonderful, she had felt a trace of fluctuation when she was chased and killed by the ironclad brute bear in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, but she didn't expect it to appear here again.

Ryan quickly came out of the room, but she didn't mean to look at him at all, instead staring at the sparkle of his fingertips, the small drop of liquid in her eyes shining like stars.

Seeing her unusual reaction, Ryan's face was happy, as if there was a play?

"Do you know what this is?"

"It's a lot like a substance I've seen in ancient books, but I'm not sure yet."

Xiyue's beautiful eyes were a little confused, but her mind was quickly flashing back to the things she had seen with relevant characteristics, and she said in a slightly dry voice: "If you want to prove whether it is the kind of thing I think it is, there is an effective way." ”

"What do you need me to do?" Ryan almost jumped up with excitement when he heard this, and quickly suppressed his excitement and asked.

"It's very simple, some ordinary seeds will do, but the process will be a little long, and it may consume some of this liquid, have you thought about it?"

Although the other party didn't say how much he had, in Xiyue's opinion, it shouldn't be much, and according to the nobles' always stingy characteristics, she still reminded her.

At this time, it is almost a kick in the door, Ryan must not be cowardly, otherwise what is the difference between it and the shrinking turtle?

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can prove what it is, the consumption is worth it, and I'll send someone to find the seeds!" Ryan said in a deep voice, and then called someone to go to the warehouse to get the seeds.

Soon, the servant brought a few small cloth bags and placed them respectfully in front of Ryan.

When Ryan opened it, he found rice, wheat, peanuts, and some flower seeds.

The conditions are limited, and these things can only be found, but fortunately, in this experiment, the type of seed is not picky, as long as it is a seed with vitality.

As for how to facilitate whether there is vitality or not, as an elf, Xiyue is too good at it, and quickly picked out some seeds with tenacious vitality.

"It's very simple, you just drop this liquid on these seeds, and if the seeds can absorb it, then I'm guessing in the right direction.

If, after absorption, these seeds are planted, they can undergo some benign changes, then my guess is completely correct, which is why I say that it takes a bit of time, and you need to wait until all the seeds are growing. ”

Xiyue's expression was serious, and she was also very much looking forward to it, if this was true, it would be a good discovery, and she could write it into her adventure log, after all, it was something of legend.

"Okay, I'll try it first." Ryan is also not inking, he is a pure layman in this regard, and can only do it according to the guidance of professionals.

He set his eyes on a peanut on the table, and carefully let go of the spiritual power that wrapped the source liquid in his fingertips, letting it drip on the peanut.

The source liquid was absorbed the moment it touched the surface of the peanuts, and it was obviously about the same size between them, but they were all absorbed.

Ryan was not idle, staring intently at the changes in peanuts, for which he also used a drop of source liquid to strengthen his eyes, just to be able to find the changes in more detail.

In his field of vision, the peanuts at this moment have been shrouded in a layer of purple fluorescence, and the seeds that were originally slightly shriveled have also become round with the naked eye, and there is a feeling of fresh peanuts.

Xiyue was also observing, and after seeing this result, she couldn't help but let out a cheer, looking more excited than Ryan, seeing Ryan looking over, she hurriedly said: "It seems that our direction is not wrong, but just one is not enough insurance, we must try a few more." ”

This result also gave Ryan some confidence, picked up the selected seeds, and walked straight to the previous room, making a full set of plays.

Xiyue's reaction proved that this thing should be uncommon or even absent even in the elven race, and possession and mass possession are two different concepts, so it is better to be cautious.

By dripping each seed with a drop of source solution, the miraculous thing is that even flower seeds, which are less than one-fifth of its size, can be completely absorbed without any waste.

A row of seeds was placed in front of him, all emitting purple fluorescence, which made him have a strange thought, after the seeds used the source liquid, there was such a change, why did he use it for a long time to cultivate without any obvious changes? At least nothing noticeably has changed.

"Well, I'll try a few drops for myself later."

On the way out with the seeds, Ryan muttered to himself.

"How do you store this seed now?"

"You don't need to store it, just plant it in the soil and wait for it to germinate, the vitality of the seeds is already many times stronger than before, and you don't have to worry that they won't germinate next spring."

It's a pity that I'm not a druid or a priest, otherwise there would have been a way to make them sprout right now, and judge the correctness of my guesses. ”
