Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1644 The source of hatred is intensive cultivation

"Don't bother with those customary etiquettes. I've lived for hundreds of years. What haven't I seen? My appearance is for people to see. I'm not those noble people who still refuse to let go of their airs. I'm just a very ordinary human being. .”

Speaking of this, Master Yerevan smiled slyly again, "Of course, it didn't say that humans can't use elf blood! Hahaha!"

Afterwards, the master called Xia Duo and Jenna to sit down.

……

Just the first time we met, Master Yerevan left a deep impression on Xia Duo. Apart from his almost indistinguishable appearance from an elf, the master has always regarded himself as a human being, which also made Xia Duo very fond of him.

The so-called "noble one" is what the elves call themselves, or more precisely, it is a self-proclaimed name only for humans, but the elves' kingdom even has druids who are almost private workers, so how can they use such a name to call themselves internally? .

There are gold elves and moon elves among the druids, but most of them are wood elves. If the elves are all "noble ones", why can most wood elves only engage in "low jobs" like druids?

In the era of Master Yerevan, elves were definitely noble and beautiful manifestations in Netheril. Xia Duo had seen the history of that time.

The elves have a long lifespan, and the combination with humans may be due to true feelings, but the short lifespan of humans dooms this marriage to a happy ending.

In fact, many elves left their children and ran back to the elf kingdom almost immediately after their human partners passed away. Of course, the elf kingdom here can basically be written as "Yerlan".

Only Yeerlan, who had a close relationship with Netheril in the early days, had most cases of elves and humans combining, and there were only a few cases in other countries.

Of course, if the child has fewer human characteristics, there is a high possibility that the elf parent will take the child away when they return to Yeerlan.

Historically, there have been cases where children with more human characteristics were taken away, but those children were almost all expelled back to Netheril without exception.

Only a very few are lucky enough, and the elf of the parents is considered a high-ranking family in Yeerlan, so it is possible to raise them secretly, and it cannot be made public.

Gustav Town, one of the Seven Towns of Severton, used to be the main settlement for the expelled half-elves. Today's Gustav High Tower, most of its members have elven blood.

This is the source of the dissatisfaction and even hatred towards the elves in Gustav Tower!
At the same time, this has become a political correctness inside the Gustav Tower, and it is difficult to reverse it even for the great Arcanist Badigal.

Of course, maybe he didn't want to reverse it either.

Judging from Master Yerevan's almost identical appearance to that of an elf, there is a high probability that he will be brought back to Yeerlan by his elf father or mother.

Maybe it has been brought back, but Master Yerevan finally chose to return to Netheril.

This may be another legendary experience!

And the master has been unknown in the outside world so far, could it be related to his elf face?

……

Looking at the open-minded and generous Master Yerevan, for some reason, Xia Duo suddenly thought of a saying in his hometown - "One sack of food, one scoop of drink, in the back alleys, people are unbearable, and they will never change their joy when they return."

Perhaps Master Yerevan is still enjoying it!

Thinking of this, Xia Duo once again had a trace of respect for the master in his heart, and his tone became softer and more respectful, and asked:
"I don't know if the master summoned Xia Duo, what advice do you have?"

"Not teaching, not teaching!"

Master Yerevan waved his hands again and again, pointing to the "Agricultural Book" on the tea table in front of him, and explained: "I read your book, and I can't understand some questions. Let her call you here, I'm really sorry to disturb you so late!"

"Master, you are too polite. It is Xia Duo's honor to explain to you! If you have any questions, please ask, I will tell you everything."

"it is good."

Master Yerevan immediately beamed with joy, stretched out his hand and grabbed the "Agricultural Book" on the tea table, flipped through it, and found a crease. He carefully opened the folded part, pointed to a line of words on it, and asked :

"It says that the crops on the land need to be plowed deeply after harvesting. Of course, although this new type of deep plow has not been verified yet, it should be useful based on my experience. My question is why do we need deep plowing?"

"Uh--"

At first, Xia Duo thought that what Yerevan was going to ask was about the cooperative, but unexpectedly, he came up and asked a detailed question about the actual farming.

This is a bit difficult to answer, because he himself does not know it very well. Most of the contents of his "Agricultural Book" are in the organization method, and some of the experience after the territorial demonstration.

A few are the ways of planting in his hometown that Xia Duo found out from his memory.

Of course, if he really wants to say something, he can still say a thing or two. After all, what our old family is best at is farming.

After a little thought, Xia Duo spoke:

"Master, I heard President Jenna mention that you were a druid before. As far as I know, there is a magic spell called [fertile soil] in the druid magic. Even if it does not spawn additionally, it will greatly shorten the Crop maturity cycle?"

"Yes, there is indeed this kind of magic, but my holy power has long been taken back by that one. There are similar spells in elf magic, but the process of converting Nether magic is not smooth."

Speaking of this, Master Yerevan's face darkened for a while, "I have been researching this for a lifetime, but I have only determined one fertile soil spell that is most suitable for winter wheat, alas——

"By the way, does this have anything to do with the deep plowing you mentioned?"

"Master, most of the Nether people know that continuous planting on the same piece of land will reduce the yield, so there is a three-field fallow farming, but my territory is a pioneering territory, but there is not much land to plant, so I let the people find a way."

"Let the leaders figure out a way?" The master's eyes widened. "Can they figure out a way?"

"Of course!" Xia Duo said with great certainty.

Maybe Master Yerevan has a noble personality, but the limitations of the times still make him look down on ordinary people. In fact, although not all of what Xia Duo said was done by the people of the territory, there are ordinary people in his hometown!
"Tell me, what solution did your people think of?"

"They speculate that there is a substance in the land that allows crops to grow vigorously, and the rest is to restore this substance, but what if it is plowed deeper? If the soil that has not been planted is turned up, will the rest be avoided soon?"

"But this time it has been plowed deeply, what should we do next time? Do we need to plow it a little deeper?"

"Master was joking. The deep plowing was overturned and recovered after a year or two! It is equivalent to changing the three-field rotation on the original plane into a three-dimensional three-field rotation."

Saying that, Xia Duo added another patch to his words, "Of course, this kind of deep cultivation method cannot completely abandon the fertile soil spell, otherwise the long-term planting will inevitably lead to the decline of soil fertility, and we need to find a way to supplement it."

"Well, indeed!"

Master Yerevan nodded seriously, "Even the druid's fertile soil magic is not omnipotent. I have seen the barren land in Yeerlan with my own eyes because the fertile soil failed. It's too miserable!"

I don't know if he thought of something bad, Yerevan frowned subconsciously, but then relaxed, watching Xia Duo calmly:

"Now let's talk about cooperatives!"
