After watching the scenery along the way, Luna, who was happy because of the pain of others, finally arrived at Bofeng City.

In the second half of the road, she no longer had the pleasant experience she had before, and it was obvious that the closer she got to Bofeng City, the more powerful the rule of the Freedom Alliance became, at least to ensure the safety of the civilians under her control.

Of course, this is also Luna's opportunity to assess the strength of the Freedom Alliance and the ability of Khorin, a city alliance organization that has only been established for less than three years can have such success, and in the face of strong enemies, it has been able to ensure order in most territories, and Luna will not give a low score in the end.

The only thing that puzzles the female succubus is that there are lush flowers everywhere, these gorgeous and colorful plants are quite beautiful, and when the wind blows, there will be a refreshing fragrance.

But the female succubus still didn't like it, although she didn't find any harm in these flowers after trying to probe, but intuitively she didn't like it.

Of course, she won't dwell on that, because she has more important things to do.

She walked into Bofeng City, although Bofeng City is not a war period now, it is still a sub-war period, or in this turbulent era, at least it is a sub-war period, and it is in a state where war will break out at any time.

As a result, the checks at the gates were stricter than they had been during the Apuro Empire, and Khorin had to be on the lookout for sabotage by hostile forces, even those who had never shown hostile intentions.

But Luna easily entered the city, and for a female charmer of the legendary realm, her natural charm ability was almost equivalent to solidifying the effect of group charm.

Among the sapient beings, there are some who are born with the ability to charm, such as female succubi like Luna.

If the charm effect is measured by the level of spells in the arcane, there are three obvious level differences, the first level of the charm of humans, and the fourth level of the charm of monsters. Level 8 group charm monsters.

The first-level charm of humans is actually a trial spell completed by magicians when they analyze the charm talent, first of all, the effect is very low-level, and because it is based on the human race as the object of spell casting, so the final successful spell has an easier effect on the human race, and the effect on other intelligent creatures is very poor, so the first-level spell is called the charm of the human. Instead of calling it a charm low-level monster. But this is only for the middle and low-level mages to teach according to the script, if you reach the level of a high-level mage, or some people who can successfully improve the spell model on their own, the first-level charm human can also have a charm effect on some creatures whose intelligence and mental power are not much different from ordinary humans, but in general, the success rate is still lower than that of humans.

The fourth-level spell charm monster is already a spell created after a deep understanding of the charm ability, and it is no longer limited by the type of intelligent creatures, and the success rate has also increased, unless the opponent has strong mental power, or some kind of foolish creature that admits death.

Needless to say, the eighth-level group charm monster. Can enchant all creatures within a certain radius.

As a succubus, especially a female succubus, she is born with a charm effect, and the charm effect will make the target creature automatically have a sense of identity, closeness, and even love and affection to the caster or the gifted, and those with weak will and spirit will obey orders, and those with strong will will sometimes hesitate because of this, at critical times. Maybe you will die because of this.

The average female succubus is equivalent to solidifying a fourth-level spell charm monster when she talks to a selected target. Even when you gaze, the opponent will be affected by the charm effect, and if you don't have a target selected, you will only be disturbed by the equivalent of a first-level charm human to an ordinary creature at most, and a little stronger will can resist the indirect effect.

But the legendary-level female succubus is in a word, even a pose, a smile. All have a strong charm effect, no less than the power of group charm monsters.

So, the guards of Bofeng City, as well as the sentry guards, were completely unguarded against Luna's entry, and they couldn't even think of checking and tracking this beautiful woman. Even temptingly, she is clearly a raw face, and both beautiful and celibate.

After Luna left and the guards at the gate returned to normal, they also felt very strange about their previous reactions, and everyone recalled why they didn't intercept and interrogate the woman just now, and their reasons were also different.

Some people remember that moment ago, Luna gave him the feeling of his unfortunate death sister, some people remembered that she was like their first love, some people felt like their mother or sister, and some people simply felt that she was the most beautiful woman they had ever seen, so beautiful that they forgot everything.

The former City Lord's Mansion, the Imperial Governor's Palace, and now the Military Council of Bofeng City, Kehorin was talking with Tao with a serious expression.

"Did I ask you to do pharmacological and alchemical research on the kind of plant that we are cultivating on a large scale now, and what are the results?"

Tao licked his lips, "Nothing came of it." So far, I have tried various pharmacological formulas and alchemical experiments, but I have not found the value of this plant, and I do not know what the Asturians made from this plant. ”

Khorin couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed, for more than two years, Bofeng City has stabilized, and the closer the other cities of the Freedom Alliance are to Bofeng City, the better the security, and only farther away will there be the kind of incident that Luna saw on the road.

This was largely supported by the new weapons that were traded from the Asturians, and while neither the Apuro Empire nor the invaders (referring to the Aurora) could or did not intend to deal with the Free Alliance with all their might, other powers such as the Binfu Kingdom would pay a higher price if they wanted to annex it, and would also be afraid of being taken advantage of by the Apuro Empire or the Aurora.

In the past two years, although the trade with foreign people has also opened up other special products or the development of minerals and other diversified development directions, but the cultivation of rosemary still accounts for more than 70% of the trade volume of Bofeng City to Asturias, even if the entire Freedom Alliance is counted, the trade of rosemary planted in many cities still accounts for more than 50% of the total trade, and Rosemary has exchanged a large number of muskets and ammunition for the Freedom Alliance, so that the alliance can maintain its independence and develop in the current situation.

However, since Khorin had some understanding of Solomon's previous purpose, he naturally had a certain opinion of the Asturians in his heart, with a deep distrust.

Now, although he has to be too lazy to plant rosemary, or let aliens develop minerals, in his opinion, they are all cutting meat and feeding eagles, and they are too dependent on aliens.

That's why he asked Tao to secretly study rosemary to see if he could find the reason why the Asturians bought this plant in large quantities, and if he could find the reason, then Bofeng City and the Liberty Alliance could also make similar goods, even if they still sold them in large quantities to foreigners, but it would certainly be much more profitable than just providing raw materials.

However, Tao's research results over the past year are as I just said, and he has not yet found any valuable points.

"But there's one thing that's weird. Tao's expression became strange.

Kehorin perked up, "What's strange?"

"Although there were no discoveries in pharmacology and alchemy, I found something unusual in the cultivation process. The Asturians were instructed by the so-called agricultural experts to plant this plant, and at first it seemed nothing out of the ordinary, but when I researched it, I found that the common denominator was that the rosemary grew much better than anywhere else near the battlefields where the planting sites had been fought. Then I studied this strange place, and I came to an incredible conclusion, and I did a planting experiment, which finally confirmed my opinion. ”

"What's the conclusion?" said Khorin in a deep voice.

Tao hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "The growth of rosemary requires the flesh and blood of living beings. If the environment of the planting site has a lot of flesh and blood of mobs, it can be very helpful for their growth. Those well-grown planting sites are near the corpses of defeated soldiers who have not been collected before. I also experimented and planted two separate areas of rosemary, one was an ordinary piece of land, and the other I found a few corpses to bury first, and then planted rosemary around it. In the end, the rosemary near the corpse grew significantly better than the other, and the corpse I buried melted away at a much faster rate than normal. ”

Kehorin couldn't hide the frightened look on his face, and also said in a low voice: "That means that when those agricultural experts were guiding the planting, they consciously chose the right location?"

Tao nodded, Kehorin's face was solemn, he was silent for a while, and patted Tao's shoulder, "Don't tell others about your findings and conclusions for the time being, we still need to continue to grow rosemary." ”

"You're not going to stop it?" Tao asked, although he didn't know what the Asturians could do with rosemary, but Tao always felt that there was an evil overtone to that beauty when he discovered that this seemingly gorgeous plant was actually growing in the flesh and blood of corpses.

Khorin smiled wryly, "We don't have any other choice now, this is the worst of times, we are struggling to survive. Unless we have a way not to rely on the Asturians for support, we will have to trade with them to get those weapons and ammunition. ”

"So, even if you didn't find rosemary so weird, I would have been looking to get rid of dependence, or diversify as much as possible in trade to reduce dependence, but I can't do it now. Give me some time, and we will slowly move from pure trading to learning to rely on ourselves and achieve true independent development. After the most difficult period of time, I will ask that when we trade, we will no longer simply exchange the other party's goods, but find a way to learn how to make them, so that we can gradually get rid of our dependence on foreign people. "But until then, even if we find out about rosemary now, we'll have to pretend we don't know anything, but when it comes to trade, I think we'll have to be careful, and if we find anything made from this strange plant, we should refuse to be marketed by the Asturians." ”

Tao nodded silently. (To be continued.) )
