Chapter 7 Buying Plans Failed
After bribing Qiandai with delicious food, Qiandai happily led Fang Ze around the village.

"Mr. Fang Ze, do you need to visit our orchard?" Qiandai enthusiastically brought Fang Ze to the orchard, which is as meaningful to the elves as human farmland.

In order to take care of it conveniently and prevent it from being stolen by humans and other animals, the orchard of the elves is on the edge of the village.When Fang Ze passed by, there were about a dozen elves working hard in the orchard.

The work of the elves is very interesting. Compared with the cumbersome steps of farming, cultivation, and fertilization, the elves only need to sing in the orchard.

Of course, you can’t just sing whatever you want.According to Qiandai's introduction, the singing repertoire in the orchard was composed by the high elves of the Elven King's Court using magic and painstakingly passing elemental tests.

Moreover, because food such as vegetables and fruits is difficult to preserve, a large part of the fruit trees planted by the elves is actually a kind of fruit tree called grain fruit.The only advantage of this kind of fruit tree is that under the catalysis of the singing of the elves, a batch of fruits can mature every ten days.Each fruit can be stored at room temperature for up to 20 days without decay.

The elves in the orchard saw a human appearing here suddenly, and they didn't panic. Several elves who were singing were still singing, and only some elves who were resting came over curiously to observe Fang Ze up close.

Qian Dai briefly introduced Fang Ze's identity to these elves, and these elves greeted Fang Ze friendly.After Fang Ze said hello, he didn't say anything, and he didn't bring them snacks like he did with Qiandai and Mizuki Shan.

After all, rare things are precious, if free snacks are given to these ordinary elves, not only Qiandai and Mizuki Shan will feel uncomfortable, but these villagers will not feel much gratitude in their hearts. This is a small reason Fang Ze I still understand.

But probably because of the long-term peaceful environment, these elves are very hospitable, and an older elf even took out some grains and fruits for Fang Ze to taste.

The status of grain and fruit in the elves is equivalent to rice in human society, and it is used as a staple food. Of course, the taste is not very good.However, thanks to the good environment of Huayu Forest and the rich magical elements on the continent of Atlanta, after Fang Ze ate a fist-sized grain and fruit, he suddenly felt a warm air start to swim in his chest, and the whole body Immediately, I feel a lot more energetic, and the sleepiness caused by long-term walking has changed.

Fang Ze's eyes lit up, he looked at Qiandai and asked. "If I want to buy grains and fruits from Liulan Village, how much can you sell to me?"

"Why did you buy this? Isn't your country rich in gourmet food? How could you fall in love with such bland food?" Qian Dai was surprised by Fang Ze's decision.Of course, Fang Ze couldn't tell Qiandai that although there are a lot of Chinese delicacies, due to the serious environmental damage, pure natural health-preserving foods are more sought after by rich people.

"Didn't I say it before, I want to bring back some unique things of the elves back to my hometown. Of course, I don't need too much food and fruit, as long as it can fill my truck."

Although Fang Ze's portable warehouse is only ten cubic meters in size, if he goes back and asks some experts to taste it, he will make a lot of hype on the Internet if he finds out that it is a magical fruit that can prolong life cultivated by the descendants of the Maya in the primeval forest of South America. , can still be sold for a considerable price.

After all, this is what the local tyrants eat now.

However, in Fang Ze's view, the deal should have been a sure deal, but Qian Dai shook her head and rejected it.

"Mr. Fang Ze, if it's one or two boxes of grain and fruit, it's okay, but a truckload is impossible."

"Why?" Fang Ze was a little surprised. "I see that the grain and fruit trees you planted are very large."

"In fact, the amount of grain and fruit produced by our Liulan Village every ten days is about twice that of our village's consumption, but the excess grain and fruit will be handed over to Captain Mizuki Shan to transport to the Elf King as soon as they are picked. All."

"Is it tax payment?" Fang Ze asked curiously.

"No." Qiandai shook her head. "The tax paid by Liulan Village to the capital is usually the clothes, arrow shafts, arrow feathers and carvings that have been woven, and does not include food."

"That's it?" Fang Ze was a little confused about the situation.

Faced with Fang Ze's questioning, Qian Dai gritted her teeth, and then answered in a low voice. "Mr. Fang Ze, I will tell you the reason, but please don't spread it."

"It's rumored to be a puppy." Fang Ze raised his hand childishly and swore.

"Haha." Qian Dai was amused by Fang Ze, "Is the dog the animal you use to swear? Our elves usually say that they break the oath by cutting flowers and grass.

Cutting grass is a peculiar kind of grass in Huayu Forest. Its status is similar to the weeds on the earth. Not only is it useless, but it also deprives the surrounding flowers and plants of nutrients, so this kind of grass is generally cleared around the villages of the elves.

"In fact, not only our village, but all villages that accept the rule of the Elf King's Capital are not allowed to have surplus food and fruit storage. Like our Liulan Village, it is better to be closer to the Elf King's Capital. After transporting to the King's Capital, the King's Capital The elves can still be used. But in some remote villages, sometimes the grain and fruit are all rotten when they are transported to the king's capital. But even if it is rotten, the elf king will require that the excess grain and fruit must be transported there."

Qian Dai took Fang Ze to a sparsely populated place, and patiently explained to Fang Ze. "This regulation started a hundred years ago. When Mr. Fang Ze came to Huayu Forest, he had seen the soldiers guarding the border. They were all the Holy See Army of the Elf Primitive Church. The Primitive Cult believed in the goddess of the moon, and the moon The theocratic power of the goddess can only cover the Flower Language Forest and cannot benefit the Vilaner Continent outside the Flower Language Forest. Therefore, the original religion has always maintained the Flower Language Forest strictly, prohibiting ordinary elves from going out of the Flower Language Forest to communicate with other races .”

After listening to Qian Dai's description, Fang Ze thought about China's modern history, and immediately guessed why the elf king asked the villages to hand over their surplus food.he asked.

"Could it be that since a hundred years ago, there have been elves trying to break through the shackles of the original religion, and want to conduct business and cultural exchanges with the major races outside?"

"Yes, Mr. Fang Ze, how did you guess that." Qian Dai glanced at Fang Ze in surprise, and then continued.

"A hundred years ago, the human kingdoms around the Huayu Forest began to rise. They created powerful magic weapons and slaughtered the gray wolves on the Qingqing Prairie in the north. They invented airships that could fly over the mountains, and put the western people on the wings of the clouds. A family was drawn into their alliance. What's more frightening is that the number of human magicians has also begun to increase dramatically. Originally, only one magician could be born in a thousand human beings. In just a few decades, the increase There will be one magician born out of every 100 people."
