Elven settlers

Chapter 66 The Tree Orchard

For the volunteer watering behavior of the bay leaf, Rock did not stop it but encouraged it.

Just as Deluby can improve the use of fire-attribute energy through the training of burning charcoal, the work of planting berries can also cultivate the grass-attribute energy perception of bay leaves.

Moreover, many grass-type Pokémon are naturally compatible with plants, and some of the best ones have various magical effects that promote plant growth.

Coincidentally, the evolutionary form of the bay leaf is one of them.

So Rock felt that even if he didn't want to exercise the bay leaf's ability for utilitarian reasons, the bay leaf might be better than himself for simply watering the fruit.

"Finally, it looks like it. This is our tree orchard."

After the sun rose, Rock and Bayleaf planted all the berries.

Standing on the hill with the three elves, he was very happy to see the tree orchard they had cultivated with their concerted efforts.

The sparkling water channel in the sun roughly runs through the centerline of the orchard, and two hundred tree pits are neatly arranged on the fertile brown soil.

Although the other places are still empty, Rock can already imagine the wonderful scene of fruit trees flourishing here in the future.

The first land reclamation work after coming to the territory has come to an end, and then Rock will guard here to prevent the fruit seeds from being eaten by birds or insect Pokémon.

Rock had to wait until the saplings grew to the height of his calf before he could temporarily relax.

It will take about ten days or so, and the first seed he planted is as tall as it is now.

Sitting on the grass, Rock looked at the vast wilderness and gradually let himself go.

When he went to work before time travel, every time he had a rare break, he was always too lazy to think about anything.

I didn't expect to have time to be in a daze after the time travel, but instead began to subconsciously think about the follow-up land reclamation work.

The southern bay area of ​​the territory has not been explored. If there is a chance, you can kill a few more Scarlet Horn Deer. If you can make another sum of money, you can consider raising some herding elves.In addition, we have to start preparing the materials for building the house. After all, it takes a lot of time to process the wood. What kind of tree should we choose...

Rock sat cross-legged on the grass with small beige flowers, his chin resting on one hand, thinking aimlessly.After an unknown amount of time, suddenly a strong force came from behind and knocked him down.

Chasing the playful bay leaf with Deluby, he didn't notice the sitting Rock, and bumped into his back.

Bay Leaf rolled up from the ground and was about to slip away, but was grabbed by Rock's hind legs.

"Do you still want to run?"

Rock jumped up from the ground, with one arm clamping the bay leaf's neck, the other arm around its waist, and with a vigorous stir under his feet, the bay leaf was thrown to the ground.

"Yeah!"

Bay Leaf struggled to get up, but Roque rode firmly on it.

"Hahaha, it seems that your strength still needs to be practiced, how about my Taishan Mountain?"

Rock wrestled with the laurel leaf triumphantly. He never thought that a huge force would suddenly surge out of it, directly pushing Rock up from the ground.

"Yeah!"

After the bay leaf lifted Rock, her hind legs threw him off the back, and then she ran away in a hop.

"Bay leaf, you actually cheated with the strange power technique! You don't know the strange power technique, do you?"

Deluby, who was watching the excitement, was suddenly caught by Rock, hugged him in his arms and rubbed his head.

Dai Rubi's body has already recovered from eating a variety of meat every day.

Moreover, due to reasonable exercise and still in the growth and development period, its body size has grown a lot, and Rock is no longer a bony bone to the touch, but a solid muscle.

Different from the touch of Arbor and Bay Leaf, Deluby's shiny black fur felt fluffy to the touch.

"De Ruby, bring me the handaxe."

Rock patted Deluby's chest, planning to take advantage of this time to deal with the big trees that were cut down during the orchard development.

Waiting for Deluby to bring the handaxe from the camp, he first cut off all the branches of the big tree, and then sat astride it and used the ax blade to peel off the bark on the surface bit by bit.

When opening up the wasteland tree orchard, Rock cut down a total of seven trees, all of which were tall linden trees. After peeling off the gray skin, the white wood inside was exposed.

For three days in a row, Rock stayed in the tree orchard while taking care of the fruit and processing the wood.

All the fruit seeds have germinated, and there are tender green seedlings growing on the tree pits, which look very gratifying.

All the wood has been processed and put together neatly by Arbor.

I have already thought about the usage of these basswood rocks, but they need to be dried before use.

Normal wood drying is best placed in a ventilated place to dry naturally, but Rock needs to use this batch of wood as soon as possible, and it is only to make some temporary utensils, so he is going to let Druby try to dry the wood with flames.

"It's more difficult this time, be careful not to ignite the wood."

Deruby was very excited every time he wanted to set fire to it. After listening to Roque's words, he wagged his tail and spit out a small mouthful of flames at the peeled basswood.

The flame burned a black hole in the wood, and Rock compared the size of the hole and asked Deluby to adjust the size and temperature of the flame.

In this way, he patiently guided Deluby to control the appropriate flame bit by bit, and Deluby's ability to use fire attribute energy was also enhanced little by little.

After burning two tree trunks, they got a burnt yellow log.

Rock asked the bay leaf to split the wood with an intermediate chop, touched the section and found it was very dry, and encouraged Deluby.

"Great job, now we're going to have honey."

Deluby had a successful experience, and quickly dried and processed the remaining four basswoods, and became more proficient each time.

For the use of these woods, Rock is going to use them to build several "worm boxes" to obtain honey.

On the north side of the hill where his tree orchard is located, there is a large linden forest growing all the way to the branch of Yunhui Mountain in the territory.

The flowering period of the linden tree is in July, and it is an excellent nectar source tree species.

With abundant linden tree resources, there are natural conditions to produce a large amount of high-quality honey.Moreover, the growth cycle of insect Pokémon is very fast, as long as two months or as short as one month, and it can produce something.

During the period before the tree orchard is harvested, Roque can rely on high-quality honey to increase his income and support his subsequent development.

Moreover, after the fruit trees in the tree orchard are full, the flowers will further improve the quality of honey, so Rock's next plan is to build a bee farm.

The last but arguably the most important reason is that Rock has finally had enough of his barbecue, and he is eager to enrich the taste of the food.
