Eli returned to the Lord's Castle just in time for dinner, and today Danya was on vacation, and it was Uncle Rumki who would leave a little Bai He to prepare to make bread for the unconscious young master.

Unlike Danya, who loves baking and Western food, Uncle Rumki has been deeply immersed in this novel and exciting taste since he tasted the chili sauce produced by Eli's only five chili peppers, and he not only took the initiative to take care of the chili peppers, but also made dishes that are more and more spicy in Eli's previous life.

Of course, limited by the four owners of the castle who are not very good at spicy food, Uncle Rumki's room to play is still relatively limited at present.

Eli took a fork and rolled up the shiny flour wrapped in shredded carrots and chili oil, and stuffed it into his mouth, the soft and glutinous taste quickly conquered his mouth, and he instantly forgot that he had already nibbled on one and a half corns, and felt that he could eat two more bites.

Firia looked at Eli, who was so happy that her eyes narrowed, her eyes were very soft. Dylan, who usually jokes about Eli, is a little silent today, he is usually more like Eli who laughs at people, and at this time he is more like Orin next to him.

The reason for Dylan's insignificant appearance tonight was also obvious, Eli recalled the grumpy dragon bird he had seen in Uncle Frank's cabin, and probably guessed that Dylan had gone to check the vein of fire elemental gems.

Strangely, Eli shoved a juicy carrot into his mouth and lowered his eyes to think that Dylan didn't look just happy. He seemed to be worried about something, was the sudden discovery of a precious vein something worth worrying about? Could it be that something is wrong with the veins?

The cards produced by the system must not have quality problems, right?

Fortunately, Dylan didn't let his doubts last long.

After Eli had eaten the last stick of flour on his plate, Dylan stood up and asked, "Would you like to go out for a walk with me?" ”

No problem, of course, Eli put down his fork. He wiped his mouth with a soft napkin and jumped out of his chair to show that he was ready.

They made their way down the stone path that meandered through Firia's garden, and Dylan slowed his pace, keeping the exact same pace as Eli, who was only slightly waist-taller than himself.

Francis's winter nights were a little cold, and Eli cast a thermal spell on herself, thought about it, and added one to Dylan. Although Dylan doesn't look cold at all, his heart always arrives.

The swordsman may just have a better constitution than the weak mage, Eli thought aimlessly.

Dylan's voice came from overhead, "Are you going to Dragonspine Valley again today?" Even bring your best friends along. ”

The unexpected autumn reckoning is coming! Eli was instantly alert.

"If you're looking for me for this," Eli said after pausing to observe Dylan's expression cautiously, and swore after seeing that he showed no signs of life, "I'm going to run away." ”

Dylan was stunned, obviously not expecting to receive such a "threat" from Eli.

A moment later, the uncontrollable laughter of the lord resounded in the garden, accompanied by a childish and somewhat angry "Father, I really want to run away like this", and this laughter was barely suppressed.

"Not next time." Dylan sincerely promises.

If it weren't for the smile in his eyes, Eli would have believed it.

In Eli's skeptical eyes, Dylan crouched down and raised his hand to rub Eli's hair. He looked into Eli's eyes, the moonlight reflecting off the snow, casting a thin halo of light on both of their hairs.

"I went to see the elemental gem mine you mentioned today, the quality is very good, even in the auction house of the royal capital, it is rare to see such a magical elemental gem."

After all, it is produced by the system, and even if it is a small vein, it can hit too much than the natural formation.

Eli felt that the first step of his plan to save the country from coal mining was about to be realized, and he asked with some excitement, "So have you decided which guards to pick for me?" ”

It is best to pick a good meeting today and meet tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow directly rush to the Longji Valley, first dig the elemental gems and then dig the coal mine, and establish the first smelter of Francis in the spring, and the leaders will have a steel-plated farm tool when they plough in the summer, and a steel long knife in their hands during the autumn hunting, and after developing new products in the coming year, the old products will be exported to every corner of the mainland, and since then Francis has become one of the richest territories.

What a beautiful vision, Eli's eyes lit up with excitement.

Seeing him so happy, the corners of Dylan's mouth curled up a small arc.

"It's been picked, and they're all very powerful talents." Dylan paused, and relentlessly spat out two words in Eli's expectant eyes, "But-"

The smile on his lips was flattened.

"There's no way Francis has an Elemental Gem Mine."

Eli's high mood froze at the sudden turn of events, and he complained: "Why can't it be? Haven't you seen it already? ”

Dylan shook his head.

"Elemental gems contain a lot of magic, and their formation requires a deposit of magical power."

"But the magic in Francis's soil began to dissipate many, many years ago – or to somewhere unknown. Now Francis is located in a low-magic land, and it is difficult to even maintain the normal change of seasons on the land, and there is no spare energy to support an elemental gem mine. ”

A thought flashed through Eli's mind like a flash of lightning, and he subconsciously said, "The land was barren before......"

"Yes." Dylan said.

In order to save Francis, who was about to face famine, Eli once triggered a mission - [Barren Fertile Land].

Barren and fertile soil is a paradox, with words with opposite meanings appearing on the same mission name, and Eli once wondered if it was the bad taste of the person who designed the gacha system.

Now it seems not.

Perhaps native crops such as white grass carrots will extract a small amount of mana from the soil during their normal growth, and this small part may be painless to other places, but Francis's low-magic land will be greatly damaged. As the seeds were sown round by round, the magic in the soil became less and less, until the crops could no longer be fed, and Francis faced with a famine that would never end.

The crops that Eli pulls out of the gacha system are beyond the magic system of this world, and only recognize the organic and inorganic matter in the soil, so they can thrive unhindered.

Barren and fertile soil, barren is magic, fertile is the soil itself.

Looking at Eli's pale face, Dylan sighed inwardly and squeezed Eli's cheek soothingly.

"We're so smart little Eli, why didn't we find out about Francis's talent?"

Gifted ...... Francis's gifted man.

Eli's brain was racing, Dylan and Orin were swordsmen, a pair of children of the Lopp family were swordsmen, and most of the guards were swordsmen.

Eventually, he was horrified to discover that apart from a lady like Phiria, who had married Francis, the only magicians he knew were Lencrone and the orange-eyed young guard who washed him with water-based magic.

Lenkrone is even a "'peali' who has a magical affinity but doesn't look back as a spearman".

There are more swordsmen than magicians, but not to the point where they are almost crushed.

He suddenly remembered that he had gone into the depths of the Dragon's Back Valley with Clarence today, but he didn't see a single monster on the way. The Curtis family's lamp uses powder with the breath of high-grade magical beasts, and it can indeed block a large part of the magical beasts, but it definitely can't stop the special varieties in the Dragon's Back Valley that are naturally lacking in fear of this tendon.

Expanding further, is it really just because of Ruiz's coercion that the Warcraft moved to the depths?

Ryze only has one dragon, but the beasts of Francis are migrating deeper into the realm.

Eli felt a little dry in his throat, he opened his mouth, and finally only asked, "Why is the magic in the soil lost?" ”

Dylan was silent for a while, and then suddenly brought up another topic: "I remember a time when you were not as tall as my legs, and you suddenly became particularly interested in the Holy See. I asked you who mentioned the Holy See to you, and you didn't answer me. ”

Eli's memories also returned to the late spring that opened a new phase. It was the first time he received a task from the system, the first time he discovered the coal in the Dragon's Back Valley, the first time he applied the cards of the card drawing system to others, and the first time he heard about the Holy See, which should be very existential.

"All the bad things that Francis can't find the root cause have the shadow of the Holy See behind them."

Eli searched all the books he could consult, but he couldn't find the word Holy See in them, and finally he ran to ask Dylan, who only told him after rolling around: "The Holy See conveys the will of God, but it just so happens that Francis does not believe in gods." ”

It sounded reasonable, but it was a bit outrageous to barely find out the other party's account just because of the difference in faith, so Eli only pressed the question to the bottom of his heart.

And today, three years later, Dylan finally took the initiative to bring up the matter.

"I didn't ask in detail, but Eli, remember." At this moment, the relaxed smile on Dylan's face was gone, and he looked seriously into the eyes of his overly smart child, "No Francis will take the initiative to mention the Holy See to you, to people who are not close enough, and if anyone does, then he does not belong to Francis." ”

Eli felt himself curled up slightly, his fingers hidden in his gloves trembling slightly.

The thermal magic he had wielded so skillfully seemed to suddenly crack a crack, and the cold wind that appeared out of thin air passed through the crack, piercing through his fur cloak and silk clothes, and scraping unhindered on every inch of his skin.

It's like a big net.
