Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

Emily bought more than a dozen kinds of precious seeds in one go, feeling extremely satisfied. She felt that this shopping trip was worthwhile. Even if she failed in the final trial, she thought it was all worth it, because as long as she could concentrate on cultivating this medicinal field, her future life would be full of hope and happiness.

"Thank you, Brother Kashen. With these high-quality seeds, our future will definitely be better." Emily said gratefully.

"You are always so optimistic and contented. You have a typical farmer's mindset. Well, as long as you are happy. By the way, are the medicinal fields only available in the academy?" Kashin asked curiously.

"Brother Kashen, why don't we not go shopping today? It's already dinner time. If you want to listen, I can tell you about the medicine field after dinner." Emily suggested.

Tan Aili opened the giant bear star diamond pocket watch on her chest, glanced at the time and said, "It is now a quarter past six in the magic time here. Let's go and taste the delicious meal we ordered."

When they arrived at the dining area, they found that it was already crowded and there were no extra seats. So Kashin said, "Just send the food to my room. There is no need to crowd here."

"What's your room number?"

Kashin gave the waiter ten magic coins as a tip and asked them to deliver the food to the room within ten minutes.

The restaurant was already full of other contestants taking part in the trial. The surrounding restaurants were the same, basically full, with a large number of people waiting for a seat.

Kashin ordered a large meal for lunch, so we ate as soon as we arrived. The food was already prepared and delivered to the room without any problem...

"Crystal Dream Stew": This dish is made with special vegetables that are as transparent as crystal, and adds magical spices that can make people feel dreamy. The vegetables maintain a crystal-clear appearance during the stewing process, and the soup is thick and exudes a charming and magical aroma. After eating it, it seems as if you can enter a wonderful dream world.

"Magic Flying Feather Roast Chicken": We use magical birds with magic wings and go through a unique magic roasting process. The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the feathers on the wings still sparkle with a faint magical light. It has a unique taste with a mysterious magical flavor.

"Moonlight Pearls": Magic corn is full and crystal clear like pearls. The essence extracted from moonlight grass is added during the stir-frying. Every bite exudes a cool and charming moonlight-like scent, which is refreshing.

"Magic Spiritual Spring Milk and Meat Pot": The seasoning is made with magical spring water and stewed with various rare magical herbs. The milk and meat melt in your mouth, and the soup is delicious. It has the effect of nourishing the body and mind and enhancing magic power.

“Star Fruit Platter”: Contains exotic fruits from distant forests. These fruits sparkle like stars, are colorful, and taste sweet and sour. Each fruit contains unique magical energy.

"Phantom Magic Beef": The meat has undergone a special magical treatment, presenting a hazy phantom effect on the plate. It tastes fresh and juicy, and paired with a special magic sauce, it is an unforgettable dish.

"Mysterious Magic Mushroom Pie": Covered with various rare magic mushrooms, the magic mushrooms release a mysterious aroma and magic during the baking process. The pie base is crispy and the stringy texture is long. It is a delicacy full of magical temptation.

In less than ten minutes, the dishes were served one after another. They were delicious and tasty. These dishes were very time-consuming and laborious. You couldn't eat them without a reservation. They were all magical and nourishing dishes.

Tan Aili felt nothing after eating it, but Kashen felt his mental strength become active, which clearly showed that it had a nourishing effect.

Emily seemed to be extremely excited about the fire element, with her skin flushed all over. She said it was okay, as she would be able to absorb and store the energy quickly. One meal was equivalent to the effect of ten days of practice, and it was worthy of being an authentic magic dish worth one thousand magic coins.

"Brother Kashen, I heard from my instructor that there are only a few qualified magic medicine fields in the country. The country's overall elemental level has declined. The soil of the academy's medicine fields is fermented from various materials, and then planted and ground to improve the surrounding environment. Each acre of land is expensive, otherwise there will be no magic plants available."

"Emily, will you lose money if you grow plants?"

"Brother Kashin, in the final analysis, it is the will of the state, and it is the state that is losing. We can plant with peace of mind and hand over 50% of the output, and the rest is our own income. Apart from taking good care of the medicinal fields, it is impossible for me to lose money. It's just that the maintenance costs of these magic medicinal fields are all subsidized by the state! With these seeds, I will go back to reclaim wasteland, and even set up a fire formation to simulate the scorching sun to grow them. This kind of plant is very expensive, so it is cost-effective to grow it..."

Kashin basically understood that the country has been encouraging magicians to develop medicinal fields, but the profits are not that high, so only a few apprentices are engaged in planting for the academy.

Tan Aili laughed: "High-value agriculture is actually a magical plant. It can only make money if it is on a large scale. It needs to be planted within a radius of a hundred miles. Emily's small-scale approach won't work."

"Big sister is right. Such an elemental environment influences each other, which can save costs and increase the chance of land improvement. However, even the royal palace may not be able to make such an investment. The production of magical materials can enrich a country or impoverish it. Such arguments require comprehensive consideration by the masters. In our country's situation, it is highly likely that no one would dare to plant on a large scale."

Kashin: "The medicinal fields can only develop sustainably if they ensure that the growers can make a profit. In a hundred years, maybe the area around the magic academy will be full of vitality! It is a fact that the magic environment of the Kingdom of Pumase cannot compare with that of other big countries... The empire has already kept prices very low, fearing that more magic apprentices cannot afford to learn magic. Some imported materials are even sold at a loss to maintain supply..."

"How does Brother Kashin know about these prices?"

"Hehe, I go abroad often! Our country has relatively few resources, but the level of alchemy is quite high! Some things can make a lot of profit if they are taken abroad! This is all operated by the country! So after subsidizing the materials, supplying them to magicians at a low price, there is no problem at all! The output of magic materials in various places is pitifully small and extremely expensive... far worse than imports! You can make a lot of money just by going abroad and shipping a package of things back..."

"So that's how it is. I just want to get rare plants. I've focused on botany in this life. I believe that I can succeed by growing medicine. I think I should go back and open up another acre of medicinal field. The merit points given by the academy are okay. I can save them up to exchange for the qualification to study advanced magic."

Kashin: "Do you want to invest in your medicinal field? Next time I go abroad, I will bring you some seeds. You just need to cultivate it and hire apprentices to help. I will provide the funds and find the seeds for you."

"Brother Kashin has helped me so much. It will be difficult to get a return on the invested capital in a short period of time. I can't let you lose money! So don't invest in this. The same investment would have generated returns long ago if used in other places."

Kashin laughed: "I am not investing in the medicinal fields to make money. I want to invest in your growth. There are too few magicians who are willing to work hard on the land. Emily's personality will make her successful in everything she does. I am investing in a great magician of the future. The more medicinal fields you plant, the higher your merit points will be, and you can learn more authentic magic. In the future, just take care of Sheldon Castle!"

Kashin learned a trick from Miss Blainey and was eager to use it. This civilian magician who stayed in school was a good girl. Investing in her was the cheapest at the moment. This friendship was priceless...
