Chapter 194: Disputes
As the capital of the elves, Mislin doesn't seem to be much different from other elven cities, and it is not even as prosperous as the port of Neurala, which is the gateway port.
At least in the port of Noirola there is a stone pier, a towering lighthouse, and a tall bell tower in the middle of the harbor that has not been built long ago—the only new building in recent years, and it was only completed when Kaichi last came here to study and leave.
Mislin, on the other hand, looked green at a glance, and if it weren't for the treehouses in the forest and the paths under the forest, there would be almost no trace of elven life. The roads in Mislin were actively given up by the grass and trees under the forest, not carved out, and the treehouses also grew together with the trees themselves.
In the middle of Mislin, there is a huge ancient tree, this ancient tree has a diameter of dozens of meters, it looks like a building is thick, and the height is hundreds of meters, and the elven queen's palace is in the middle of the ancient tree.
Although it is not the first time for Jia Yi to come to Elven Island, and it is not the first time to come to Mislin, it is the first time that he has the opportunity to enter the Elven Palace.
"Is this the elven tree?" Looking at the ancient tree hundreds of meters high in front of him, it seemed that there was a wall in front of him, and Wille Onde opened his mouth in surprise.
Jia Yi also looked up at the elven tree, although it was not the first time he had seen it, but he still couldn't help but feel shocked, he said: "No, although this tree looks amazing, it is not an elven tree, it is an elven ancient tree." Legend has it that it was made by cutting a branch of the elven tree, so it can be regarded as a clone of the elven tree?"
Although there is only one word difference between the elven tree and the elven ancient tree, the essence is completely different, all the trees that are old and older than one elf lifespan can be called the elven ancient tree, and the elf tree has only one, the legend is the projection of the world tree in the material world.
And the elven ancient tree in front of them is said to have existed when the elves were just born, if this is really the case, then the lifespan has been hundreds of thousands of years, at that time the ancient continent had not been divided, and the elven island was only a part of the elven forest.
There was an elevator down the tree, and after a few people went up, Alwyn and they were already waiting at the door with a feminine-looking but somewhat majestic woman, she had the same blonde hair as Alwyn, a crown on her head, her blonde hair was still flying in the wind, her face looked somewhat similar, her body seemed to be covered with a layer of hazy light, it looked a little ethereal, and she was shrouded in a strong natural atmosphere, as if she was facing a forest—although they were in the forest.
It's just that Jia Yi feels that something is wrong, some disobedience, but he can't say it.
"Her Majesty. Jia Yi saluted to the other party, although it was the first time they met, everyone recognized who was in the middle.
The Elven Queen was already a legendary mage before the Supreme Council appeared, and if the Magic Emperor Isaac felt that he could not overcome anyone, the Elven Queen was the greatest.
Of course, the queen may well have thought the same way.
The queen personally received them outside the gate, and even if Yi Jiayi was a socialist-trained successor, theoretically speaking, he was once the heir to the throne of a huge country, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of honor.
The queen led them into the hall, there were already a lot of people in the hall, the hair color of ordinary elves is green, only the elf royal family is blonde hair, plus elves like to wear green clothes, at a glance a green is green, green people panic.
When they arrived in the hall, the elven queen took Jia Yi and them to the side of the main seat, and then beckoned Louis Pasteur, and then gently tapped the cup, and a clear sound spread throughout the venue.
"I would like to introduce to you our distinguished guests, Venerable Jia Yi and Venerable Ville Onde of the Supreme Council, as well as the Rev. Louis Pasteur of the Holy See, thanks to their help in this Elven Rice crisis... Let's go..."
What the queen said next, Jiayi didn't pay much attention to it, anyway, it wouldn't be too nutritious, he was attracted by the queen's hair, he was sure that there was no wind in the hall, but the queen's hair was still windless, and it fluttered softly like a ribbon, and it seemed to be a constant wind spell in the hair.
No wonder Jiayi felt something wrong outside the door just now, it wasn't windy just outside the door, but the queen's hair fluttered very obviously, and it was not very consistent with the direction of the wind, but he didn't notice it just now, but he felt a little disobedient.
Although Louis Pasteur was also invited to this banquet, the protagonists were only Jia Yi and Ville Onde, and although the Holy See did not contribute much, the queen could not ignore them.
Louis Pasteur and they were received by a male elf with light green hair, and when he came, Jia Yi realized that this was the elven king, Sauron Minos Elrond.
The elf king should be called the regent more accurately, he is not an elven royal family, according to human terms, it should be regarded as a wealth, but the elves do not pay attention to these, the regent, as the queen's husband, also participates in the management of the elf kingdom, but it is obvious that he is pressed under the queen.
After getting to know each other, chatting a few words, and listening to a few words of praise from the queen and his wife, Jia saw the great druis, and hurriedly said goodbye and went to meet him.
"Master Jiayi. After Jia's salute, Snapby actually returned a half-salute, which startled Jiayi.
Snappy raised his glass mildly and smiled: "Try the elven's special brew, the moonlight brewed by the moon spring water and the fruit of the elven ancient tree, don't be too polite, this is not something you can drink at any time." ”
He blinked his eyes as he spoke, and Kaichi felt that Snappy was extraordinarily polite today.
He beckoned to Jiayi and motioned for him to pick up a wine glass, and Jiayi tasted a sip of slightly green wine, feeling a clear chill go straight into his stomach, and then rose to his head, as if his whole mind was much clearer. It's not like wine, it's like drinking a bottle of ice on a hot summer day.
"Isn't it great?"
"Yes, it's really great, it seems that the spirit has been washed away by a burst of dust, and it feels like the whole thing has become transparent. ”
Jia Yi said with a taste, and couldn't help but take another sip after speaking.
"This thing is not very common, and the elves are reluctant to take out too much to entertain others, and drinking too much will cause a certain amount of addiction, and today is a lot of money for you. ”
"Addiction?" Jia Yi was startled, as a person with a socialist education, he hated addictive things, but he didn't want to be an addict, if he didn't have some trust in Snebi, he would almost have to spit this thing out by his throat.
Snapby comforted: "Don't worry, the addiction of this thing is similar to alcohol, it's just that because it tastes better, it's a little more dependent, and it's a pity that you can't drink it." I would like to thank you this time, you have given me a lot of ideas. ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency is polite, the Queen has already thanked you, this time I should thank Your Excellency for your help, otherwise we wouldn't be so fast." ”
"No, no, it's not because of the Elven Rice thing. It's your suggestion about hybridization, I'm experimenting, it performs well on elf rice, and it has a lot of potential. ”
The magic assist greatly shortens the growth cycle of crops, saving a lot of time for crop cultivation. However, Snapby's research on hybrid rice has not yet achieved real results, and now it is only showing great potential, which is worth continuing to research.
Only then did Jiayi realize that he didn't expect Sneiby to get on the hybrid rice so quickly, and he thought he would wait for a long time.
"In fact, seed improvement is only one aspect, if you want crops to have high yields, fertilizer is indispensable, traditional fertilizer is too inefficient, and synthetic fertilizer should be made to be more efficient. ”
"Your Excellency has proposed the theory of minerals in plants, and as long as the fertilizer required by artificial synthetic crops is applied to the field, it will definitely increase the yield greatly, and the effect will be more immediate than that of improved seeds. ”
Sneby paused, he did ignore the point, but he also had his own doubts: "Will this affect the plant too much, against the nature of the plant." ”
At this point, as a druid, he behaves almost pedantic.
Jia Yi asked rhetorically: "But isn't it against the nature of plants to transform seeds? and domesticating livestock is also against the laws of nature." For crops, high yields and disease resistance are the most important things, and being able to grow more food from limited land is the best for nature, otherwise in order to survive, more farmland must be demanded from nature to feed more people. ”
Snapby was really stunned at this moment, and thought for a while before saying: "It's that I think too much and am bound by myself, you are right, crops are not natural nature." ”
Jia Yi was about to speak, when suddenly a voice interjected and interrupted Jia Yi: "Aren't you mages preaching the theory of evolution? Why can't there be more seeds that have evolved from plants, so that there can be better development and benefit the expansion of the population." ”
It was Louis Pasteur who spoke, and he didn't know when he came to Jiayi and them, and couldn't help but refute Jiayi.
He didn't actually think there was anything wrong with Jiayi's words, maybe he was just angry because he had completely fallen into the disadvantage this time.
Ville Onde heard his words, and he was talking to the Elven King, and he couldn't help but say out loud:
"It is natural selection, not natural evolution, although we always talk about evolution, but in essence it is the theory of selection, natural selection, survival of the fittest, not that organisms can evolve new functions under natural pressure. In fact, only the demons of the abyss can evolve, and most of the creatures in the material world cannot be called evolution. ”
As soon as Ville Onde spoke, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall to this side, everyone knew that the Holy See and the Council were not very harmonious, and at this moment almost everyone secretly focused their attention on this side, and all of them acted as melon eaters, and even spoke much quieter.
