Chapter 282: Harvest

Kaichi continued to flip back through the Codex.

Soon, Kaichi saw that Kirby had really gotten the chance to get Elf Rice, and at a gathering between mages, Kirby exchanged for an Elf Rice.

“... Elf Rice's performance was disappointing, I gave half of the Elf Rice to Mu Mu San, but his magic affinity was still so bad that I could barely feel the improvement, and I even wondered if this Elf Rice was real, or if the legend about Elf Rice was true..."

“... Elf rice is indeed real.

"But I finally understand why the mage who sold my elf rice said that elf rice is only useful in the hands of elves, and the improvement of magic affinity by taking a small amount is almost undetectable, and it is only effective if taken in large amounts, but, except for elves, who can have a large amount of elf rice..."

Next, Jia Yi saw the key part of the Codex, the author of the Codex, Kirby, began to try to grow elf rice, and the information in this part was the most important thing for Jia Yi.

But his first planting was almost a joke, he only had the shelled elf rice in his hand, which could not be taken as a real seed, he also knew, but there was no way, he only had these things, and he had no choice.

In order to grow elf rice, he began to learn plant-based spells, as well as life-based spells, at this time, life-based spells and plant-based spells are more closely related, unlike modern spell classification, life-based spells and undead spells are almost in the same category, and plant-based spells are almost out of touch.

He tried to restore the elf rice, or make it complete, so that a shelled elf rice could sprout again, but unfortunately, it failed completely.

Seeing this, Jiayi felt a little sorry for the other party's luck, theoretically speaking, rice can also sprout, because the outermost shell only plays a protective role, and there is no decisive role in the growth of rice, as long as the rice retains the germ, it is possible to germinate.

But it's a pity.,Although Jiayi doesn't know how the elf rice is shelled.,But I think it's about the same as the rice.,Although it's not like the modern rice is finely ground.,But the damage to the germ is still very serious.,There's almost no possibility of re-germination.,Even if it's magic.。

This is the part that March found, the one that Jia Yi saw at the beginning, and the one that was criticized by Li Weier, Kirby ruined all the elf rice, and failed to make any grain of rice sprout, and the whole plan completely failed.

Jiayi continued to scroll down, wanting to see if there was anything new to gain. If there was only such a little information, Jia Yi would have cried.

There is only one message in this paragraph - unhulled rice cannot be replanted. Even if Jia Yi is crazy, it is impossible to shed the elf rice in his hand and replace it with rice to plant.

There was no useful information for the next few pages, and Kaichi continued to scroll back, and suddenly found that Kirby was starting to prepare to leave for Elven Island, and the previous record did not show any signs at all, and even the style of writing had changed a lot.

Ka Yi looked at the date in the record and found that this time seemed to be years later, because it was not a diary, and there was no detailed record of the time, and he could only guess based on the context. Jia Yi didn't know what happened to the other party, only that he stopped for a while, and the information recorded in the codex again was that he was going to Elf Island.

And in the middle, all of them are his ideas for planting elf rice, and it seems that this time he went to elf island completely for the cultivation of elf rice.

The next record can be regarded as a collection of failed experiences, Kirby went to the elven island, and did get the seeds of the elven rice, he secretly returned to the mainland with the seeds, but planted it several times, none of which succeeded.

He first buried the seeds in the ground and watered them as he would with ordinary plants, but the seeds did not germinate at all.

Then he first went to learn how to grow rice, and planted the elf rice in the water, and the seeds did germinate, but they soon died, and the roots were all rotten, and they did not grow at all.

He thought that the magic of the soil was not enough, so he chose a place with more magic power, and planted it again.

In order to ensure the survival of the seedlings, he began to set up a magic circle in the soil to enhance the vitality of the elf rice, this time the seedlings did not rot the roots and died, although the growth is still not good, but the weeds are also nourished by the vitality circle, and they grow very luxuriantly, even if they are weeded, they cannot completely prevent these weeds from robbing the seedlings of nutrients.

In the end, the elven rice he harvested was a little less than the seeds he planted, and the more he planted, the less he planted.

He thought that maybe it was a problem with the climate, so he returned to Elf Island, secretly chose a remote island around the island, and began to grow Elf rice on the island.

This time, the failure was even more complete, the soil on the island was not suitable for growing elf rice at all, the soil had too much salt, and after the rice seeds germinated, they quickly withered.

In order to grow elven rice, he even ran to Elven Island and chose a remote place to try to plant, but no matter what, the result was not good, even the most outstanding one, his seed-to-harvest ratio was only 1:2, and one seed harvested two elf rice.

Kaichi recorded the conditions for this success, but in the subsequent planting of Kirby, this level was never reached again, failure was frequent, and it was normal for the harvest not to reach the seeds.

He was getting older and older, but the harvest was getting less and less, and until the end, he couldn't say that he had truly realized the human cultivation technology of elf rice. The harvest is barely enough to keep the seeds, let alone use them for food.

Maybe the elven rice has become Kirby's obsession, looking at the records on the codex, he has been planting on the elf island for at least ten years, planting more than a dozen stubbles of elf rice, until the end of the codex, it still can't be regarded as a success.

Jia Yi is not sure whether this codex was sorted out when it was transcribed, what happened to Kirby in the end, whether he died on Elf Island, but it is certain that although he has grown elven rice, he has not mastered the cultivation technology of elven rice at all.

The second half of this codex can almost be regarded as a complete list of elven rice planting failures.

Although there is no cultivation technique of elf rice in this codex, Jia Yi is still very satisfied.

If there were really people who were not elves who had successfully planted elven rice, then the experimental notes would never have been able to be found in the academy's library, and it would not have been until now, and only elves could grow elven rice.

Jia Yi never thought about finding the cultivation technology of elf rice directly in the library of the academy.

Although the experimental records in this codex are not very rigorous, and the results are not very good, they give a lot of experimental data, about the month in which the elven rice grows, temperature, climatic conditions, water and fertilizer, and even several common diseases, and how to treat them.

All these have allowed Jiayi to have a better understanding of elf rice, avoided many detours, and made Jiayi's design of elf rice planting experiments not only stay in complete imagination, but also have a little data basis.

But it's a pity that this information is hundreds of years ago, and now, there are still some conformities, and it's really uncertain. In the process of artificial breeding of seeds, the change of traits is still very large, especially after such a long time, Jia Yi should be glad that the elves of the breeding elf rice will not be hybridized, otherwise it will be even worse.

But fortunately, the climatic conditions of Elf Island will not change much, and it is impossible to change from tropical to cold.

It's just that Jia Yi is a little strange, how could it be so coincidental, there happens to be such a codex, which records such detailed information about elf rice.

With doubts, Jia Yi re-copied these planting records onto a new parchment, and made a simple arrangement, and decided to take them out tomorrow to discuss with Li Weier and them, make a plan first, and then start the planting experiment.

It's already June, which is almost a good time to plant elven rice, and in September, the academy will start to have a holiday, and Li Wei'er and they will probably go out on adventures at that time, so there will be no time.
