Farming Tree Spirit

The next few days.

In addition to cultivating plants in the forest, Rhodes basically travels between new dimensions.

He repaired the soul of the little spider demon and learned about the specific situation there. He always maintained a low profile to avoid attracting the attention of the gods in that plane.

"Teacher, I brought the World Encyclopedia!"

In the backyard.

Dilus sneaked over and stumbled over holding a book that was larger than his own body, and handed it to Rhodes.

Dafik didn't know that his son was learning magic from Rhodes. Dilus, under the instruction of Rhodes, didn't tell his father about it. He only said that he suddenly sensed the existence of magic elements.

This made the Dufficks extremely happy.

A grand celebration dinner was held that night to celebrate his son becoming a distinguished magician.

Dafik drank a lot that night, and a smile appeared on his face that he had not seen for a long time. It seemed that he had not received such good news for a long time, and it also relaxed his tense nerves a lot.

If his son is successful, he will definitely inherit his title in the future and even strengthen the Green family again.

As a father, he must persevere no matter how difficult it is and hand over this inheritance to his son completely.

Even if it's just a small territory.

rustle~

Rhodes, who was meditating, turned around, nodded to Dilus, then took the book and opened it.

When Dilus saw this, he was sensible and did not interrupt. He went to the training ground on the other side and started practicing the earth magic he had just learned.

And at this time.

Outside the village.

The sound of rolling wheels sounded, and Dafik, who went to town to do business, and the housekeepers and guards drove back, talking and laughing along the way, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"The Nerubian Tribe and the Undead Tribe have a temporary truce. Prices have returned to their original state. Some are even much higher than before. I have to tell everyone the good news."

"Yes, everyone has been on tenterhooks during this period, fearing that they would fight outside the gray border. Now we can finally take a breath."

"It is said that the Magic Martial Arts Academy in Sos City has also started recruiting students. I plan to ask my kid to sign up as well."

"Haha, you can't enter that place just because you want to. You have to reach the first level before you are twelve years old."

"Didn't Master Dilus just learn first-level magic? He should have a good chance."

As they talked, the topic turned to Dilus, praising his amazing magic talent, which also made Dafik feel better.

He always felt that he had been exceptionally lucky recently.

No matter what he does, everything goes very smoothly. First, his son awakens his magic talent, and then prices rise again, as if he is favored by the goddess of luck.

And just as they were driving outside the village, several villagers responsible for tending the wheat fields ran over with excitement on their faces.

"Master Dafik, come and take a look! The wheat fields seem to be growing much better!"

"A lot of wheat! The yield is much more than before!"

The villagers were talking incoherently, pointing to the wheat fields in the distance and shouting.

Dafik and others looked at each other.

Increased wheat production?

What's the meaning?

After instructing the guards to drive the carriage back, he got out of the carriage and came to the edge of the unharvested wheat field.

Just one glance.

They were stunned by the sight before them.

"how so?!"

wheat.

Golden wheat.

Looking around, the originally dry and yellow wheat became rich and plump overnight, and the yield almost tripled!

Three times!

The harvest was equivalent to three years of cultivation, which solved their problem of lack of supplies in one go.

"Okay, okay, all the people responsible for taking care of the wheat fields will go to the manor to collect the rewards later!"

Dafik was in a good mood, and the haze that enveloped his heart completely dissipated.

With this batch of food, they will be able to have a good year at least in the past two years. Even if disputes arise again, they will have enough ability to deal with it.

When the villagers heard that there was a reward, they were overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly.

They haven't seen anything like this here for a long time.

Seeing that the wheat was ripe, Dafik did not return to the manor, but gathered people to start harvesting the wheat.

A blink of an eye.

Half a day passed.

Rhodes closed his book in the backyard and finally had a preliminary understanding of the world.

Contrary to his expectation, his current location was at the center of the entire world.

Three hundred years ago, a breath of death from decaying things swept across the earth, dyeing the originally vibrant land into a dead gray.

But the strange thing is that the pollution only lasted for half of it and then stopped. It also caused half of the world to be a gray dead land, and the other half remained as it was before, and the major races continued to live on it.

And where he is now is at the junction of pollution, also known as the gray border.

There are many species living in the depths of the Gray Border, among which the Nerubians and the Undead are the most numerous, and they often fight over territory.

"Three hundred years ago?"

Rhodes murmured to himself, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He doesn't think this is a coincidence. The pollution in this plane is definitely related to the black soil in the Dream Woodland.

If we could find the source of the pollution, wouldn't we be able to find the reason for the destruction of Dreamland?

It seems that he really came to the right place.

The only problem now is that the body of the little spider demon is too weak, and he can't occupy the body of another person all the time, so he has to find a way to make a magic puppet like the elves.

And he doesn't know if it's because the plane connection is too weak. He tried many times to bring things here but failed. He can only bring some very small things. It takes a lot of effort to gather enough materials to make a puppet.

Or he can only look for materials like those meteorites here.

"Teacher!"

Just thinking about it, Dilus ran in from outside with a very delicate staff in his hand.

"Look, this is the magic staff my father bought for me!"

He handed the magic staff to Rhodes like offering a treasure, as if he had already regarded Rhodes as his magic teacher.

Although Rhodes didn't recognize him as a student.

Originally, Rhodes was thinking about things and had no interest in such small things, but after a glance, he suddenly froze, his eyes fixed on the crystal inlaid on the staff.

The aura flowing on it was similar to the meteorite in the dream forest. It seemed to have the function of storing magic power and serving as a soul carrier.

It was really a case of searching for something without any effort.

Rhodes stretched out his forelimbs and pointed at the crystal on the staff.

Dilus had been with him for so many days, and he immediately understood and explained: "This is a magic crystal. We call it magic stone. I heard that it can only be found in the veins deep in the gray border and on those polluted monsters. Many people come to us for this."

Soul crystal?

Rhodes roughly guessed the source of this magic stone. It should be similar to the soul crystal of the black beast.

"Teacher, do you want this kind of thing?"

Dilus was small, but his mind was very sensitive. He saw that Rhodes needed magic stone.

Rhodes looked at him and nodded.

Then he thought for a moment, turned his palm, and a green crystal appeared in his hand. This was the biggest thing he could take at the moment.

Since there is ready-made free labor here, why bother looking for it himself? He can just exchange it directly.

It's just right to take this time to go back to the Elf Queen and learn how to make magic puppets. Then he can make a cool humanoid puppet for himself and integrate into the world here.

"What is this?"

Dilus looked at the crystal in Rhodes' hand in confusion.

"Exchange for magic stones."

A spiritual message came into Dilus' mind.

The young boy finally understood it, his eyes lit up: "Are you saying to exchange this thing for magic stones?"

Rhodes nodded.

"Okay, leave it to me. I'll go to my father to ask for help. He should have a way to exchange for magic stones."

Dilus hurried away with the crystal.

After a circle in the manor, he finally found his father in the village.

At this time, Dafik was talking to a foreign caravan, asking about the situation in other places recently.

This caravan came from another direction. Every time they passed by the village, they would stop to rest for a night, purchase and sell goods, and then rush to the border city the next day. They were already very familiar with them.

"Recently, the demand for magic stones in other provinces has been increasing. The price has directly increased from the original 25 silver coins to 50 silver coins, and it is still rising. We came here to see if we can get more magic stones."

"Fifty silver coins? So high?!"

Hearing the words of the caravan manager, Dafik and the butler were shocked, and thought of the magic stones they had sold before.

If they sold it later, the price could double, which was a huge loss. They wanted to beat up those black-hearted merchants.

"Why is the demand for magic stones so great?" Dafik asked in confusion.

Although magic stones are only produced in their gray border, there are quite a few discovered veins, and the price is basically around 30 silver coins.

This time it has almost doubled, which is a bit too exaggerated.

"It is said that because of the increase in magic elements recently, the number of magicians has skyrocketed, and the demand for magic stones has also increased." The manager of the caravan whispered.

As merchants, they have the most sensitive sense of smell. They rushed to the Gray Border as soon as they received the news, intending to stock up a batch of magic stones in advance.

If it were later, I'm afraid more people would come, and then there would be no chance to stock up again.

When Dafik heard the news, his eyes lit up. After such a long period of silence, the Gray Border was finally going to be lively again. It seems that he had to go back and prepare well.

"Father."

At this time, Dilus ran over from a distance.

The two people who were talking saw him appear, and they all smiled, and even the guards who were loading and unloading goods in the caravan came over.

"Hey, isn't this Dilus? He's grown so big in half a year."

"You should go to the Noble Academy for further studies soon, right? Have you decided what profession to change to?"

"Haha, this depends on talent. How can he know what to do when he is so young?"

It can be seen that these people often play with Dilus when they come to the village, and they are very familiar with each other.

If it were any other time, Dafik would only say a few humble words at most, but now it is different. His son is a first-level mage, and his mouth corners immediately rose, calling Dilus to his side.

"Why are you here? Come and meet the uncles."

"I, I have something important to ask my father."

Dirus glanced at the caravan members, hesitant to speak.

Seeing his hesitation, Dafik smiled and said, "Don't worry, we are all family, just tell me what you want to say."

"It's just... I have something that I want to exchange for magic stones. I don't know if it's okay."

Dirus didn't say that Rhode asked him to come, and carefully took out a cloth bag from his arms.

Dafik and the caravan members didn't care at first, and looked at this kid like a show.

But when the cloth bag was opened, revealing a piece of green crystal lying inside, Dafik and the manager were shocked.

"Element ore? No! It's a purer and rarer element crystal!"

"How can you have such a thing??"

The manager of the caravan was shocked. It was the first time he had seen such a pure element crystal.

Even Dafik stood there in a daze, looking at his son and then at the element crystal, and suddenly a guess flashed through his mind.
