Arcane Lord

Philifa did not respond on the spot whether he agreed to the request from Zhamdas, but he also told Shado that he would inform him as soon as there was any news.

After such a small episode, both sides consciously reduced the frequency of conversation, and also quickened their pace, and soon arrived at the outskirts of Capella.

From a distance, Shado saw neatly planned farmland, and there was a small group of buildings near the city, which looked like the place where agricultural mages who had been stationed in the farmland for a long time stayed.

At this time, Philipfa also introduced it in time: "Capella is located in the plains, the land nearby is fertile, and the development of agriculture has a history of nearly a thousand years. Our new project is also based on the original agriculture of Capella.

"Before Elan's independence, Capella was also a border area, and Sruvende was not concerned about the development of agriculture in this area. After Elan's independence, the best agricultural land in the country was this piece.

"But because Sluvende has not invested in development for a long time in the past, the agriculture here is still quite primitive, and it basically remains at the level of relying on the weather for food."

"Are there no druids to take care of it?" Shado asked curiously.

"Yes, there are, but a few druids can't play a key role in improvement. They just help to bless when sowing to increase the germination rate of seeds. They are not needed in most of the crop growth cycle."

"So, your transformation project is-" Shado asked again.

"First, carry out infrastructure transformation, such as the climate maze that currently only covers the demonstration area, and use the power of magic to artificially create the most suitable environment for crop growth, and even accelerate growth."

Filifa pointed to the agricultural transformation demonstration area in front and explained, "In addition to the maze, there are also various sacred objects specially transferred from Yeerlan, with functions including insect repellent, fertile soil, increase production, improve quality, etc."

As he was talking, a man and an elf had walked to a sign outside the demonstration area. In addition to the information that can be recognized by the naked eye, such as text, there is also spell information, which specializes in spellcasters to understand more detailed information.

"Look, there is a small shrine on the edge of the farmland over there that houses the sacred object, the Horn of Plenty. The raw materials come from a unicorn priest of the Lord God. After being blessed by the Lord God, it becomes a sacred object, which has the effect of fertilizing the soil and increasing production. In fact, its scope of effect is not limited to the demonstration area. After the experiment here is successful and the relevant personnel are trained, it can play its real role."

When talking about the unicorn priest, Philipa did not look down on his face. Druids are essentially priests, but priests are not necessarily druids. Although the unicorn priest specializes in agriculture, he has not been discriminated against by the traditional eyes of the elves, but is regarded as an existence similar to an agricultural wizard.

Shado does not know much about sacred objects. He only knows that they are blessed by holy power. The simplest and easiest sacred object is actually holy water. If it can exist for a long time and can still play a role, it often has extraordinary effects.

It has been nearly a hundred years since the development of Savile Territory. Of course, there are sacred objects in the temple, but such sacred objects are not easy to obtain. Only one was born in Savile Territory in the past.

It is also the statue of the Lord of Glory in the temple. However, the Codex sculpture in the territory of Shado should also be considered a holy object, and it is blessed by the Lord of Glory himself, which is far more meaningful than others.

After all, the Lord of Glory does not intervene in the mortal world as frequently as the Lord of Elf, which makes the Codex sculpture in the territory of Shado even more rare.

However, even if the Lord of Elf intervenes in the mortal world frequently, that is relative to the Lord of Glory. Compared with the superiors of the elven countries, the Lord of Elf is still quite elusive.

This also means that although there are not a few holy objects blessed by the Lord of Elf himself, they are also quite rare, especially with so many elven countries in the main plane, and the Eerlan side actually transferred a holy object blessed by the Lord God himself.

It can be seen that they really want to develop Elan well. As for the purpose of development, there is no need to delve into it.

Considering that he had met Kolani, the incarnation of the Lord of Elf, in Komanso before, and barely had a little friendship, Shado did not deliberately bypass the small shrine by the field, and Philipfa certainly would not bypass it, and even went straight there.

However, with Philip's identity, he no longer had to be as respectful to the Elf God as a priest. He walked to the side of the shrine and just stopped to nod to the holy object inside.

The same was true for Shado. He and Coranie were still chatting and laughing at the beginning. Although the other party did not reveal her identity, both parties knew it well. If she really revealed her identity, there would be no such conversation.

I don't know if it was an illusion. After leaving the shrine, Shado felt that the surrounding environment seemed to have undergone some subtle changes and became more refreshing and pleasant.

In front of Philip, he didn't feel embarrassed to test it on the spot, but he still kept it in mind. If there is a chance in the future, he will still find a way to see what is going on and what the essence of the so-called sacred object of abundance is!

...

After passing the shrine containing the Horn of Plenty, Philipfa looked much more relaxed. He continued to introduce to Shado: "Currently, this demonstration area is divided into twelve blocks, and each block has different experimental tasks.

"For example, the block we are in now is used to explore the yield optimization of the cold-resistant wheat seeds purchased from you, Netheril.

"Master Yerevan is indeed an amazing human being. The cold-resistant seeds he cultivated are indeed an amazing masterpiece, but those seeds focus more on cold resistance, and the yield is only maintained at a minimum.

"It is still a long way from the conventional varieties in the elven world. Considering that the climate anomaly caused by the Dragon Madness Mystery is irreversible, exploring ways to increase the yield of cold-resistant crops is already a very urgent task."

Speaking of this, Philipa said to Shado with great confidence, "I believe that Netheril is also conducting relevant research!"

"I don't know about the Seven Towers, but relevant research is indeed being conducted in my territory. Although we still have artificial environments such as the Arcane Garden to maintain the growth of old seeds, just like your climate mysteries, the cost of planting entirely with magic is still too high and not universal. Cold-resistant seeds are still indispensable. ”

That being said, Shado knew that as long as magic became popular, the cost of planting entirely with magic would be significantly reduced. It would not be unimaginable to achieve the same level as in the past, and even lower would not be impossible.

After all, cost is relative. With the popularization of magic, social productivity has been greatly developed, and the proportion of the cost of magic planting in the total social expenditure will most likely decrease.

So the Shado territory is indeed researching cold-resistant seeds, but it has not been elevated to the level of strategic importance. Instead, it is a routine topic for the territory's agricultural wizards, and Atwood is allowed to do it slowly with his apprentices.

Of course, the reason why Shado has such great confidence, in addition to his firm belief that territory magic will be popularized, the most direct reason is that he planned the planting area in the floating city a long time ago, and only two arcane farms have been built so far.

If necessary in the future, more can be developed to meet the food needs of all the people in the territory without any problem.
