"General Strina, it's a bit of a labor force to do this." Gavin was flattered and said, "Besides, this is not part of your castle's defense system, especially in the face of a foreign invasion like the Gnolls, and it is necessary to transform the entire castle.

It is better to set up a ground building specially used to entertain foreigners, or set up an outpost fortress directly on the other side of the curtain, which can not only prevent this kind of door-to-door thing, but also entertain foreign guests, after all, most of these guests come from the other side of the curtain. ”

"Very good advice." There was a crisp applause, and a beautiful jealous Yaling stood on a tree platform not far away, smiling and looking down at them.

She was full of exuberant energy, which gave Gavin a feeling of early spring when he saw everything recover.

Whether it is the style, appearance, and the mature atmosphere exuded, it is far from being comparable to Strina, compared with her, the latter is a budding flower bone, and the one in front of her is a ripe peach.

An extremely rare long green hair, draped behind his back, made Gavin not feel any sense of disobedience, but there was a kind of that, it should have been.

This Yaling nobleman is the dawn of spring.

"Your Lord." Strina bowed to the Yaling.

Gavin also bowed and said: "Gavin Noether, I have met the lord, I took the liberty to visit, please forgive me, it was just a personal opinion, please lord it, don't be too abrupt." ”

Lord Yaling smiled and said: "Your suggestion is very useful to me, in recent times, our life has been too comfortable to ignore the threat from the other side of the curtain, if you don't close this curtain, the proposal you said to build an outpost fortress is the most suitable, please Mr. Gavin come up and talk about it in detail." ”

With a wave of his hand, the branches and trunks around him seemed to come to life, twisting and extending to form a new staircase that stretched from the platform where she was to Gavin.

It's not as simple as wood shaping, but it's an extraordinary ability to control the forest.

This is the special ability of the dawn of spring, and she has become in tune with the forest and has become one with this place.

Gavin climbed the stairs, and when he stood in front of the other party, this feeling was even stronger, and the vitality emanating from his body seemed to be about to flow out.

"Closing the curtain is inevitably tyrannical, every curtain is the most precious gift of nature, it is easy to close, and if you want to open it again, it is difficult to climb to the sky, I heard that in ancient times, the curtain leading to the fairy wilderness was everywhere, in many places, the two sides were difficult to distinguish each other, and now, many people have never even heard of the name of the fairy wilderness." Gavin couldn't help but sigh.

Not to mention the curtain leading to the fairy wilderness, even if it is a portal, it is very rare in Faerun, even as a legendary warrior in his previous life, he has never encountered one.

In particular, the catastrophe of the arcane law came, the magic net collapsed, and the storm of destruction that broke the crystal wall changed the whole world, and the Faren Continent was completely separated from the fairy wilderness, and all kinds of goblin figures gradually disappeared in the Faren Continent.

Compared to Gavin, Lord Yaling felt more deeply, and said with deep approval: "The connection between the material plane and the fairy wilderness comes from the pulsating harmony of nature, and when one side is transformed or destroyed on a large scale, this pulsating harmony will disappear.

The fairy wilderness is still the fairy wilderness of ancient times, but the material plane has changed for countless generations, especially the current human beings, the speed of development and transformation of the material plane is unprecedented, as long as they settle down in the place where they take root, it won't be long before the pulsation will disappear, and the fairy wilderness will drift farther and farther away. ”

At the end, Lord Yaling smiled meaningfully at Gavin, "I hope Lord Gavin, when your territory expands and develops, you won't have such regrets. ”

Gavin patted his chest and said: "Although I didn't grow up in elves, what I agree with is that the development concept of harmonious coexistence between elves and nature, as long as you find the right way, even if you don't destroy nature, you can develop, even if it needs to be destroyed, you can also reduce the impact as much as possible, artificially to the extreme." ”

These words are not a foolish remark that Gavin came up with on the spot, but one of the core ideas of his future development, because this is the basic premise for entering Kosholman in the future.

"Oh?" Gavin's answer obviously aroused the great interest of Lord Yaling, "Harmonious coexistence? It sounds great, but it's hard to do, especially with a booming population. Once the cultivated area is expanded, it is inevitable to clear the land by clearing forests. ”

This problem is a difficult political problem that has existed between elves and humans for thousands of years.

At the beginning, Kosholman and the human beings set up standing stones in the valley and coexisted in harmony, which was based on the fact that the elves took a step back and allowed humans to cut down forests in the valley to a limited extent.

As a result, the area of the Great Forest of Kosholman has shrunk by more than half in just over 1,300 years.

"Intensive farming." Without hesitation, Gavin replied, "Feed the most people with the least amount of land." ”

"What's the way to do it?"

"Screening and optimizing seeds, increasing the average yield of grain, drenching manure, increasing the lushness of crops, and most importantly, working with the druids to transform the farmland, preferably to create a magic farmland, once the grain yield per acre is up, the farmer's demand for land is relatively small, and naturally there will be no more ideas about the forest.

In my opinion, many druids are too conservative and prejudiced in their thinking, and their task is not just to protect the forest, but also to survive and develop all things as part of nature.

Since it is unstoppable, it is better to change the strategy appropriately, not only to achieve better results, but also to achieve the satisfaction of both parties. ”

After saying this, Gavin himself was slightly surprised, and his words today seemed to be a bit much.

What should be said and what shouldn't be said are all shaken out, this is not his style of doing everything.

This is not just this Yaling Lord, giving him a kind of bathing in the spring breeze, being kind and comfortable, and involuntarily reassuring and mentally guarded.

It is estimated that the other party has something that he doesn't know, and can unconsciously affect the minds of others and relax his vigilance against her.

Lord Yaling didn't seem to notice Gavin's strangeness at all, but fell into deep thought, as if considering the feasibility of his plan.

This is the first time she has heard of this kind of argument, and it is not deafening and deaf, and it does put forward a new idea.

In particular, Gavin's druid is clearly meant.

It is not just a druid profession, but a forest race such as Yaling and Elves.

Now that he had already said it, Gavin stopped hiding it and asked, "My lord, what's wrong with thinking like this?" ”

"At first glance, it sounds like it's doable, at least for a short time." After Lord Yaling gave a certain affirmation, his words immediately changed, "But in the long run, it does not solve the fundamental problem, high-yield food, which means that it can feed more people, will lead to a short-lived race, the population will enter a big explosion, and then in turn demand more food, more land, when the conflict with the forest race will be sharper and more intense, when the time comes, how do you balance?" How to fix it? ”

A long-lived race like Yaling, thinking about problems, always takes a long-term view.

Her short period of time, at least fifty to one hundred years, is the life of these human races.

"Any plan cannot be carried out only after thinking about all aspects, and long-term plans start with short-term plans."

Gavin, of course, does not veto the other party's long-term perspective, "In the implementation, make corrections and adjustments, and the short-term plan will become a long-term plan.

The development of other intelligent races, wars, plagues, natural disasters, etc., such additional factors may hinder the process of this person's explosion, even if that situation really occurs, it can also inhibit the rapid growth of the population through artificial means. ”

"Suppress the population?" Not to mention for the Lord of Yaling, in the Faren Continent, this is also a completely new word.

In Feren, it's too late to encourage childbearing.

What's more, he only had less than twenty years to prepare and deal with the calamity of the arcane.

If this catastrophe cannot be resisted, the entire Faeron Continent will fall apart, and some continents of the Torrell Plane and the Alberon Plane will have their positions reversed.

Compared with this devastating catastrophe, the natural problems caused by the population explosion are all drizzle.

"It's really a no-brainer." Lord Yaling pondered, "I'm really looking forward to the growth of you and your territory. ”

"I think my lord, I'll have a chance to meet you." Gavin saw the needle and said, "If the lord really wants to build an outpost fortress on the other side of the curtain, my people may be able to provide manpower assistance. ”

All long-lived races are not known for their population.

The Yaling Castle in front of you looks magnificent and magnificent, and the scale is not small.

Along the way, Gavin saw a small number of Yaling, and a thousand of them died.

Their method of shaping trees into a castle is certainly not easy to use on the rocky side, and it takes a long time.

The castle in front of you is at least a few centuries old, if not longer.

"I'll think about it carefully." Lord Yaling did not immediately reply, "I have already sent someone to prepare a banquet, two distinguished guests, please inside." ”

Yaling's Ballroom.

Just like their castle, it is magnificent, beautiful and beautiful.

The entire hall is formed by dozens of giant trees, arched and entangled, and countless vines are entangled into an impermeable wall.

The main thing is that these trees and vines are still alive, and some of them have green branches, carefully pruned, no, more accurately, they have grown into various unique shapes, like indoor potted plants.

Tables and chairs are no exception, all of them are made of the giant tree itself, which of course does not grow like this, if the druid's wood shaping technique intervenes.

When the surrounding vines stretched out and brought up all kinds of fruits and vegetables, everything was so natural.

Yaling's meals are mainly vegetarian dishes, and they are also the kind of whole ecology, most of them are not even cut, and they are served directly.

Apples, grapes, honeydew melons and other melons and fruits, eating like this, Gavin can still accept it.

Vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, vine melons, and turnips, Gavin can digest them as well.

But when the peppers, kale, cauliflower, and broccoli were also brought in like this, Gavin couldn't stand it a little.

Fortunately, Lord Yaling also knew that it was difficult for outsiders to accept, their diet structure, especially if there was a young dragon.

Food was specially prepared for Gavin and Evansa.

Gavin is a plate of vegetable salad and a plate of roasted meats.

It's a roast sheep in Ewensa.

Even if it's cooked food, it's the easiest barbecue.

The Forest Race has never been known for eating, and this is taken to the extreme in Yaling.

But Gavin didn't move the vegetable salad and barbecue in front of him, but tasted the fruits and vegetables on the table side by side.

Every time you taste it, your eyes light up.

These melons, fruits and vegetables, he has eaten in his life, and they have the best appearance and taste, including the cabbage and cauliflower, which are difficult to swallow raw, are also full and slightly sweet, which are very suitable for raw eating.

There is no doubt that they are not born like this, but have been carefully bred and cultivated.

Earlier, in front of Lord Yaling, he talked a lot about sifting seeds, obviously the Banmen got an axe, people fed on this, and they were rich in druids, how could they not breed?

The breeding step is directly omitted, and the seeds can be introduced directly from them.

The Yalings present didn't know Gavin's purpose, and thought that he respected their eating habits, and looked at him with a little favor.

Lord Yaling smiled and said to Gavin, "In order to thank you for your assistance, I have prepared a small gift for the two distinguished guests, and I also invite the two distinguished guests, be sure to accept them." ”

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
