The outermost petals of the flower are pure white, with a pink core and a lily-like shape, but the petals have more layers.

The moment Thea Ora appeared, the flower fairy immediately looked sideways, rubbed her cheeks, and there was a slight longing in her emerald eyes.

Ryan walked towards the flower fairy with the pot of Theaola's flowers, then crouched down and placed the pot in front of it, "Thank you very much for the blessing, do you like this?" ”

The flower fairy nodded, "Babble! ”

Ryan couldn't help but touch its head: "Then I'll give it to you, thank you." ”

Flower Fairy, "Babble!! ”

The flower fairy rubbed Ryan's palm without resistance, then picked up the petals and flew into the stamen of Theaora's flower.

When the flower fairy sat on the stamen of the flower of Theaola with the petals in her arms, the petals of the flower of Theaura, which were originally pure white, instantly turned into a golden yellow like a sunflower.

The flower fairy sat in the middle of the stamen, looked up at Ryan, and patted its mouth, a little unskilled, and said indistinctly, "Crumbs, mmm! ”

Then it yawned and closed its eyes as if it were sleepy, and Theaola closed the petals, enveloping the flower elf.

System: "Congratulations on your friendship with the Flower Elves." ”

Ryan: "......"

Good guys, is friendship just talking about people?

And what about his sunflower seeds!

*

When the petals of Theaola's flower are closed, it looks not much different from a normal wildflower.

Ryan placed the pot on the windowsill in the most sunny place, and the rose thorns automatically moved out of place, making way for the best place to welcome the sun.

After observing the thorn for a while, and seeing that it didn't make much difference except that it could move on its own, Ryan returned to the table and asked the system in his head, "So, how much does it cost to hire a witch for a long time?" And what about an alchemist? ”

Druids forget it, it's elves.

The hidden danger of the fertility of the land must be solved, although his territory is very large, but he can't throw a piece with a piece, and the fact that there are flower fairies in his territory cannot be announced at present.

I only hope that Bernard can work hard this time to help him attract more businessmen from other places to Oran, and when he has enough funds, Ryan will not be afraid of anything.

After the system calculated the price, Ryan replied in his head: "There are currently three median witches and two high-level alchemists who can accept employment.

The rewards required for hiring the three witches are Ghost Grass (a single plant in the Ghost Grass Krypton Gold Shop costs 1 gold coin, and two Ghost Grass plants can be hired for 10 days)

Spirit Flower Essence (One copy of Spirit Flower Spirit can be purchased in the shop for 1 gold and 50 silver, and can be hired for 15 days)

Flame Spirit (1 gold and 55 silver for purchase in the shop, one can be hired for 30 days)"

After the system finished talking about the witch, he continued to say the alchemist: "The two alchemists each need turquoise (2 gold coins each, which can be hired for 15 days).

Burning Spirit (1 gold coin can be hired for 10 days.) ）”

Ryan frowned slightly: "This is also too expensive, can I first take a look at their personal information and what they are good at?" ”

"Of course." The system replied calmly: "Please wait. ”

The system counted the data, and then projected a light curtain in front of Ryan.

Above the curtain are three witches and two alchemists, their pseudonyms and their respective areas of expertise.

The names of the three median witches are Barbara, Katyusha, and Manlinda.

Barbara specializes in Transfiguration and Elemental Elixir, Katyusha specializes in jungle hunting and potions, and Manlinda is an unpopular Black Witch despite her specialization in natural potions.

The two high-ranking alchemists were Able and Atwood, with Able advocating natural alchemy and Atwood being more adept at mechanical alchemy.

Even more ominous than the black hair and black eyes are the people who deal with the dark arts.

Whether it is a necromancer, a black magician, or a black witch, anyone or something that has anything to do with black magic, as long as the news spreads, it is easy to cause the sanction of the Temple of Light.

System: "If you're not going to fight against the Temple of Light, it's best not to hire Manlinda." ”

Ryan: "But she's the cheapest, she only needs 1 gold and 55 silver to hire for 30 days." ”

"I am not rejecting you outright, but the breath of the Black Witch will attract righteous executioners, who claim to be the embodiment of light and purity, and regard all who are in the company of darkness as heretical."

The system calmly informed Ryan of the consequences of hiring the Black Witch, "And the Black Witch, they don't really value the spirit of the contract, and if you hire Manlinda, it may cause bad consequences." ”

999 is just a system, he can only tell Ryan some advantages and disadvantages, the choice is in Ryan's hands.

Ryan pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, re-read everyone's data several times, had some vague thoughts in his heart, and continued to ask with the system: "If I hire a witch and an alchemist at the same time, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

Although the Black Witch is cheap, Ryan also knows that hiring Manlinda is not a very good option at this time.

In addition, they have only explored the edge of the forest and have not yet visited the center......

Anyone hired through the system will sign a contract with the system before coming to Oran, and will not be able to reveal the secrets that Ryan does not want them to tell.

Ryan finally set his eyes on Katyusha's information, and his mind raced to think.

Although Nan is an intermediate alchemist, because of the potions, he is better at injury medicine, which is a pity.

"If you're going to hire a witch and an alchemist at the same time...... system's voice pauses for a few seconds, "it's suggested that you hire both Katyusha and Abel. ”

Ryan: "Why? ”

"Because they're more in line with your requirements."

There was no emotion in the system's voice, "And it's the cheapest to hire them." ”

It's cheap, it's long, and it's practical.

The system felt like it had figured out Ryan's thoughts.

However, the fact -

"Wrong." Ryan: "The people who are more in line with my requirements are Katyusha and Atwood. ”

System: "? ”

System: "Huh! ”

Ryan: "In addition to fertile soil, Katyusha can also help the convoy hunt, I don't really want to hire an alchemist, but Atwood is proficient in mechanics, he might be able to renovate my processing plant, maybe he can get a few free alchemy golems to help me save labor." ”

Unfortunately, Orlan didn't have any cattle, and if the witch couldn't improve the soil, he would have to pile up ash and manure.

In addition, Oran still has a population, and there are people who have ......

When you think about it, it seems that it is not too difficult to solve the problem of the fertility of the land, but it is only a matter of time.

System: "......"

His host is so shrewd, why didn't it think of it?!

Although the materials purchased from the system shop are very expensive for Ryan, it is not easy for the hired person to find them, and even if they do, the cost of purchasing them is completely different from the price that Ryan bought in the store.

Almost all the precious medicinal materials on the market are monopolized by the major nobles and magic guilds, and in addition to purchasing them through them, if you want to obtain them, you can only go to the wild to explore on your own, and if you are unlucky, you will lose your life.

Another example is Andrew before, what Ryan hired him needed was magic silver grass, and the price for Ryan to buy magic silver grass in the krypton gold shop was 50 silver coins a plant, but Andrew went to the magic shop to buy it may have to spend dozens of times the price, and it may not be easy to buy, and the same is true for Katyusha and Atwood.

Seeing that Ryan had already made a decision, the system immediately asked, "Do you want to hire Katyusha and Atwood immediately?" ”

Ryan: "Yes. ”

At the same time, he was a little curious.

Ryan: "So how did you hire these people?" And don't let them have doubts, do things for me seriously? ”

In fact, he wanted to ask this question when he hired Andrew.

"You don't need to worry about this problem, we have our own method."

The system replied in a calm voice, "After all, we are the higher-level mystery merchants of the mysterious merchants you call them. ”

Ryan: "What about this nesting doll?" ”

After Ryan confirmed the employment, the system was quiet for a short while, and then two spatial cracks appeared in front of Ryan in quick succession.

The first to emerge from the cracks in the space was a mysterious person in a black robe, and judging from her wrists exposed outside her sleeves, it should be a lady.

At the same time as the lady appeared, more information about her appeared in Ryan's mind.

The black-robed witch held a wooden broom in the shape of a lizard's head, much more cautious than Andrew, and the moment she walked out of the spatial crack, she had already used her mental power to confirm the surrounding environment, and found that there was no threat, so she set her eyes on Ryan's body.

Through the objects hired by the system, even if it is an abyss demon, the system will ensure the safety of the host, so even if the witch is now rubbing ten large fireballs in her hands, she will not be able to hurt the defenseless Ryan in the slightest.

And if Ryan needs it, after the hire ends, the system will also blur the employee's memory, so that they can't remember Ryan's face.

Ryan also knew this, and had no opinion on her caution, and calmly let the witch look at her, and finally waited for her to land through the crack in the space before she spoke, "Good day, Katyusha witch." ”

Katyusha's gaze finally fell on the top of Ryan's hair, and she held the lizard broom like dead grass in her hand, and slowly replied, "Good day, my mercenary." ”

Her voice sounded a little hoarse, like a poisonous snake that had just woken up, hiding its fangs secretly, ready to bite you at any time.

After Katyusha spoke, her cloak began to shake inexplicably, and then from the black veil under the cloak, two small snakes that only exposed half of their bodies came out.

The scales of the little snake were shiny, swallowing black forked snake letters, and the yellow vertical pupils looked at Ryan quietly.

Ryan wasn't afraid of snakes, because he didn't play with snakes, he wouldn't be bitten if he didn't die, and he had eaten cockroach meat.

The system also gives information about snakes.

The scales of the snake's body are particularly beautiful, faintly glowing with colorful black, and the fangs are also very sharp.

Ryan looked at the viper wrapped around the witch's neck and exclaimed, "Lady Katyusha, your hair is beautiful, and I am honored that you will accept my employment." ”

Being able to teleport through space allows himself to reach this place in an instant, Katyusha was not surprised that Ryan could see through the secret of his hair, hearing Ryan's praise, the corners of Katyusha's mouth under Katyusha's cloak rose slightly, and then took off the cloak with his other hand, revealing an extremely beautiful face, and looked at Ryan with deep eyes and replied: "Thank you for the compliment, noble lord." ”

The moment the cloak was removed, the tips of Katyusha's drooping hair turned into the heads of countless snakes, who seemed to have intelligence, swaying their bodies to get closer to Ryan, swallowing snake letters in response to his praise.

Katyusha's eyes shone faintly like a violet flower, a form of illusion. She could sense that her current location was far away from the Witch Forest where she lived, and Katyusha was curious about Ryan, wondering why he hired a witch, but she didn't dare to be too presumptuous because of the system.

"Your illusions don't seem to work for me."

The corners of Ryan's mouth went up, and he smiled lightly without minding, "But your hair reminds me of a myth." ”

The light in Katyusha's eyes dimmed, and she asked curiously, "What myth?" ”

Ryan's words paused for a second, "A beautiful woman with snake-haired hair......"

Before he could finish his next words, the black snake that was entangled in Katyusha returned to its hairy appearance.

Katyusha gently stroked the ends of her hair, and her voice was charming, "I like this myth. ”
