Chapter 182: Disease
The tall mage fell silent, looked in the direction of the counter, and then looked up at the leaderboard on the side wall of the tavern.
The Tavern has an official qualifying tournament in which points can be earned by playing against each other in the presence of a tavern notary, and the final points are recorded, and the top 20 are displayed on the ranking board on the tavern walls. If the score is less than 100 points, no points will be deducted for failure, and the corresponding points will be deducted for failure after 100 points. At present, the first place has more than 3,000 points, and even if the opponent has not lost a game, he has played nearly 1,000 rounds.
His points are already in the top 20 on the scoreboard and are eligible to be displayed on the leaderboard, and it is said that at the end of each season, players on the board will be given a badge and a card with a custom skin.
It's just that the first season hasn't ended yet, and no one knows exactly what it will be like.
But for the sake of this ethereal reward and points, he had spent several nights in the tavern day and night, and if it weren't for his good physical fitness as a mage, he would have died suddenly.
Human life is actually very fragile, overtime will cause sudden death, strenuous exercise will cause sudden death, variety show activities will cause sudden death, playing games will also cause sudden death, the only thing you can do is to buy insurance, so that when something happens to you, you can have another man use your insurance money, and then beat your baby.
(But the author himself doesn't have to worry about this at all, it's a sad thing ...) )
The short mage raised his hand and patted the tall mage on the shoulder: "Don't look at it, let's go, have you been in contact with the high priest recently? ”
The tall mage turned around and whispered, "We stopped the telegram for fear of listening, and the letter has not been answered, so I don't know what the High Priest thinks. ”
Moshacher looks open, but he has a strong sense of internal precautions, otherwise the tall and short combination would not have stayed here to avoid punishment. They'll be slower to deliver messages the traditional way, but they should have been rewarded for so long.
The tall mage said and stared at the short mage: "You can lend me a little more money, I won't buy the card pack this time, this is the last time." ”
"You still have to buy it, it's not easy to earn this money..."
The short mage felt like he had beeped a dog, and dared to say that he was talking nonsense for a long time.
......
Kaichi receives the message, and Wilmot summons.
Following Karla to the office, Wilmot beckoned him to sit down: "Princess Arwyn came here this time, in addition to discussing the problem of environmental pollution, there is also an important thing to come to ask for help? There is a problem with the food production of Elven Island, in order to avoid the expansion of the situation, they asked the council for help, you have independently researched the cultivation method of elven rice, this time, we are going to send you over." ”
Jia nodded a little to indicate that she knew, but she was still a little puzzled: "What is wrong with their food?" Alwyn also mentioned it to me last time, but he didn't elaborate. And am I the only one this time?"
"Actually, the matter on the elf's side is not too serious, and the scope of influence is still limited, but the elf must solve this matter, and the incident cannot be allowed to expand. ”
The matter of Elf Island is an experimental accident, the food planting area of Elf Island is not too large, the forest covers a wide area, in fact, there are many places that can be opened up for agricultural planting, but Elves advocate nature and are unwilling to do too much damage to the forest, especially a large number of felled trees.
Although many people think that elves live in the forest by gathering wild fruits and fishing and hunting, this is just a prejudice caused by too far away, as a large race, so many elves gather together, and it is simply impossible to sustain themselves by gathering for food, and it is too unstable.
Elves also need to grow food, as well as keep livestock in captivity.
Although it is more difficult for the elves to give birth, the population has also increased a lot over the thousands of years, in order to avoid more damage to the environment, the elves began to study how to increase the yield of grain per unit of planting area, and if successful, they do not need to open up public fields. Since the passing of Kaichi's paper on soilless vegetative cultivation, the research in this aspect of seed research has made rapid progress. Although the results have not really landed, the outlook looks very positive.
However, their pursuit of yield has led them to neglect the importance of disease, and the seedlings planted from newly bred seeds are very weak against pests and diseases, even in the laboratory, and a batch of rice seedlings planted can get disease.
The diseased rice plant initially produces yellow-green spots at the tips and edges of the leaves, and slowly develops into pale or yellowish-brown long spots along the leaf veins, and finally turns gray and dies. This disease is very contagious, as long as one rice plant gets sick, it can easily spread to the whole process, and the infected elf rice is likely to face the situation of no harvest.
At first, they did not pay much attention to the disease, and the treatment was not timely, and slowly the diseased rice plants infected the entire research area, and finally spread to the outside world, infecting a large area of surrounding rice fields, and even had a tendency to spread. The disease has mutated and is now even infecting other crops such as wheat and beans.
In the end, it was the Elf King who cast a spell to isolate the whole piece, and the rice planting period was passed, which curbed the spread of the rice disease. However, if this matter cannot be resolved, it is likely to spread to the entire elven rice cultivation area in the end, and at that time, the elves may not even be able to grow elven rice themselves, and must import it from the Supreme Council.
That's why they are so anxious to solve this matter, preferably before the elf rice planting next year.
That's all Wilmot knows, and it's not clear what is more specific.
"You're not alone this time, you're accompanied by Ville Onde, who is proficient in necromantic spells, and Mage Ole, one of the captains of the law enforcement team who will keep you safe. ”
"Ville Onde, isn't this a genius mage of the necromancer, if you let a necromancer go there, will the elves be willing?"
Although Kaichi said this, he did not underestimate Ville Onde, the modern necromancer has long been more than just a school of study of corpses, they have studied life more than all other schools of mage, especially in terms of microorganisms. If it is just a simple study of plants, it is rare to be more powerful than elves, and more people want to solve problems from other aspects. If the problem could be solved by simply starting with the plants themselves, they would have made progress long ago and would not need to call for help.
It's just that the necromancy has some prejudice because of its reputation inherited from antiquity.
Kaichi is also a little prejudiced against the necromantic system because of Terry, the vice principal of the Dragon Root Academy, and one of the current legendary mages of the necromantic system is said to be a lich, but the other party does not often appear in the High Council.
Wilmot knew that Jiayi was joking, and introduced Viller: "Ville Onde focuses on the study of life, and is very accomplished in the field of vitality and microorganisms, perhaps more suitable for this mission than you." This trip to Elf Island is your mission this year, and you don't need to go on a mission later. ”
Each mage is required to perform a certain number of tasks assigned by the High Council each year, and if they do not do so, they will need to pay a certain number of Arcane Points.
Wilmot finally instructed: "You should be careful on this mission, it is said that there will be people from the church, although I believe that the elves will arrange you properly, but you should also be careful, otherwise I will not arrange for Master Ole to go with me."
“...... Don't lose when you really fight. ”
The church used to be domineering when it was a cow, and its relationship with other forces on the continent was not very good, but since it was driven to Antarctica by the mage, the relationship with the rest of the forces has become much better, so the elves will ask the church for help at the same time. It's just that because the parliament is powerful, other forces are closer to the parliament.
In fact, in recent years, the contradictions between the church and the parliament have weakened a lot, and there is less tension.
