Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2071 Super Wheat
When the time acceleration stopped, the original time acceleration area suddenly became brighter, and the wheat planting, which originally looked orange, also became brighter, almost orange.

And the plump wheat ears that hang down heavily seem to be trying their best to show their most attractive characteristics to all the onlookers.

At this moment, Yerevan walked to the edge of the field, took off a handful of ears of wheat, rubbed them together in his palm a few times, and then threw them vigorously towards the square. When the scattered wheat grains in his hands flew into the crowd, there were even more people in the field behind him. Under the action of an invisible force, the many ears of wheat broke away from the plants and flew towards the crowd.

Soon, the first person caught the wheat grains. He seemed to be an ordinary craftsman. After catching the wheat grains, he stuffed them into his mouth without any extra actions.

Then, looking at the expectant eyes next to him, he said loudly: "It is fuller than ordinary wheat, and it also has a hint of sweetness! What Master Bernomesis said is true!"

This craftsman is just one of the countless people who got the wheat grains and ears of wheat in the square. Some of the people who got the ears of wheat distributed the extra grains of wheat to their companions while verifying themselves.

For a moment, there were countless exclamations in the square, as well as the excited and longing shouts of those who didn't get the wheat grains.

In addition to giving to ordinary people, Yerevan also sent samples of wheat ears to several viewing seats, and Xia Duo got one alone. In fact, he didn't need to examine it carefully to understand that this thing is better than the wheat currently grown in his territory. Yield is higher.

The quality could be higher as well!
The most important thing is that the maturity period is shorter than normal winter wheat, only six months, and these six months actually include the entire time from planting to maturity.

Among them, the germination process accounts for nearly half of it, and there are three months. If it can be shortened, the time can be advanced.

With the extremely cold environment created by Ambassador Cormanthor just now, Xia Duo really couldn't think of the possibility of the other party being waterproof. It is impossible to reach that extreme state in normal weather.

In other words, planting in reality may not take three months to germinate. If it can germinate in four or five days like ordinary wheat, then the cold-resistant wheat produced by Master Yerevan can be called "Super Wheat" too.

As for the yield, Xia Duo estimated that as long as the cultivation is intensive, the yield can be at least three times that of the current wheat in the territory, and if it is replaced by other territories of Netheril, it may be more than three times.

In other words, this alone can allow Netheril to feed three times the population of the past when the climate was normal. If coupled with the short maturity period, then——

There is no doubt that even if the climate and environment worsen in the future, Netheril is likely to usher in a wave of population growth.

The lords of Netheril may not be willing to give the high-cost food grown in the arcane garden to the people, but if the people can grow high-yield food themselves, they will definitely not mind getting higher taxes.

Even if the proportion left to the people is lower than in the past, in the face of high production, they can still get enough food to feed the whole family and even increase the population.

At this moment, Xia Duo really couldn't figure out the possibility of Master Yerevan's failure, and this made him even more vigilant.

……

In the auditorium, after checking the real situation of the ears of wheat one by one, everyone also congratulated Master Yerevan.

And the envoys from various countries in the Northland, even the ambassador Cormanthor who was still standing in the middle, expressed their congratulations to Master Yerevan expressionlessly.

Although the elves are arrogant and like to play tricks, it is almost impossible for them to put down their face and lie in front of countless people, especially the envoys of the elf country.

Then Ambassador Comanso returned to the auditorium, and Xia Duo was about to go back with him, but Master Yerevan stopped him: "Lord Xia Duo, I need your help next."

"The spell that blesses ordinary seeds?"

"Correct."

Master Yerevan nodded, turned around again, and said to the crowd in the square: "I just used the time acceleration spell to demonstrate the growth of the new type of wheat, but it still takes time after all.

"With so much land in Netheril, so many seeds cannot be produced in an instant, so we need to use the blessing spell to make the current ordinary seeds also have the ability to resist harsh weather. Next, I will demonstrate this spell."

After finishing speaking, Master Yerevan took out a dimensional bag, just about to take out something from it, but seemed to think of something, put the small bag away again, and then shouted to the crowd:

"Can someone out there support me with some unmilled common wheat?"

Asking the people who came to the meeting for wheat grains, if there were any, would be regarded as collusion and preparation in advance, but Yerevan still asked.

Xia Duo also looked at the crowd in the south curiously, wondering if he would really pick out a person who carried wheat grains with him, but now that the square was noisy, he didn't bother to distinguish.

Just pay attention to the changes in the surrounding clouds and the state of the order cycle.

But Yerevan, as the protagonist of this conference, is naturally not like Xia Duo. He quickly picked a target, and then an anxious, excited voice that seemed to be mixed with some kind of accent spread throughout the square——

"I have a bakery in the port area, they have wheat, and it's not far from here, wow, how did my voice get so loud?!"

The man seemed to be frightened by this vision, but then he realized that he was the lucky one chosen by Master Bernumesis, so he shouted a few times excitedly:

"Master chose me? Master chose me! Master chose me!"

"My friend, please go home and get some wheat now."

Yerevan stretched out his finger and pointed to one of the heads of Wu Yaya in the southwest direction of the square, and then a person who was constantly struggling with his hands and feet rose into the air from the crowd with high-pitched screams——

"Ah - I can fly, I can fly!"

After a few thumps, the man seemed to be swimming, thumping, tumbling, and crookedly flying towards the west, which also caused a commotion below.

All kinds of whistling, hat-throwing, and even jumping up and trying to catch each other and fly with them.

However, under Yerevan's reassurance, the crowd quickly returned to normal. After a while, the person who went to get the wheat grains flew back crookedly with a cloth bag that was not too big or too small.

Flying all the way to the ceremony venue, Yerevan handed the bag to Yerevan. Yerevan opened the bag, opened the mouth of the bag, and showed about a pound of wheat grains inside to the auditorium and the crowd in the square.

At this moment, Xia Duo vaguely heard an extremely sharp female voice appearing from the southwest direction of the square, as if she was yelling and cursing, accompanied by the booing of the people around her. After listening carefully, it turned out to be——

"Baker! You are so stingy, why don't you bring more!"

Baker at the venue of the ceremony couldn't hear these words, but the spellcasters in the auditorium might not be able to hear the woman's scolding through some perception spells.

So almost in unison, many mages showed disgust and contempt in their eyes, but many of them smiled knowingly, with no obvious bias.
