I'm a mage, what's wrong with loving farming?

Chapter 280 280. Southland Garden, the Birth of Druids

Southland Garden.

To be more precise, it can only be regarded as the prototype of Southland Garden.

When the first batch of residents from the Southland came here, the mages were working hard to build an ecological magic dome that suits the climate of the Southland.

This is actually a test.

Although many magic plantations for farming were built in the Northland before, the area, scale and even the accuracy of magic data were not as high as that required by this dome.

After all, the warm sea breeze brings absolutely advantageous planting conditions, and what the apprentices need is to further supplement on this basis.

The magic parameters in the dome now need to be modified and calculated by the apprentices.

Yagob got off the boat tremblingly, and saw this scene-

The mages in the distance were wearing light work clothes, carrying boxes one after another, climbing up and down like construction workers.

From time to time, the leader would roar:

"Sera, you can even get the readings wrong?"

"These weather crystals are not installed here!"

"Sarath, if you make a mistake again, go and raise guinea pigs!"

On the huge island, as far as the eye can see, the wizards who are usually high and mighty are working like ants, and they look no different from ordinary people.

Just as the boy was still watching with relish.

An exceptionally tall woman came over, she glanced at the card in her hand, and looked at these people.

"You are the first batch of residents."

"We will help you build your own houses and villages, you come with me."

After saying that, she turned around neatly.

Some people who were still uneasy looked at each other, and finally followed honestly.

Passing through the construction area that was under construction and was as chaotic as a construction site, they arrived at a garden that was already full of various ferns and the ground was wet and muddy.

The air here is moist and humid, and it seems to make the nose a little itchy, and at the same time there is a very comfortable feeling.

The eyes of the people from the southern border suddenly lit up.

This, isn't this the smell of their hometown?

Muddy land, humid air, and various plants that cover the roads and grow almost overnight, as well as insects and animals crawling under the leaves.

For outsiders, such an environment is simply unbearable. The humidity alone is enough to make them irritable, and even the clothes they hang may grow mushrooms.

But for them, it is the hometown where they have lived for several lifetimes.

Immediately, several people burst into tears.

The woman glanced at them: "Do you feel any difference here compared to your hometown?"

Yagob said boldly: "Master Mage, I feel that it is a little drier here than our home."

"Oh?" The woman was a little surprised: "Have you received basic education?"

"Yes... yes." Yagob tried to straighten his chest: "In the past, a priest from the Church of the Mother Earth opened a school in our village."

"Is that so?" Apprentice Lina looked around thoughtfully, raised her eyes and muttered to herself: "The environment in the south often rains, and the sun's light is also very hot..."

While speaking, she took out a crystal stone board, drew a topographic map on it with her fingers, and then wrote and drew.

The moment she stopped, a few gray-black clouds suddenly floated in the sky, covering the world.

She shouted to the dark clouds: "Please, the annual rainfall must be stable at more than 2,000 mm. This is the basis. If necessary, we can increase it."

Several beautiful phantom feather cloud snakes poked their heads out of the dark clouds, as if they nodded. The next second, lightning flashed in the dark clouds, accompanied by the sound of thunder.

The raindrops fell like this.

"..."

The people from the southern border looked at this scene in shock, letting the raindrops fall on their bodies without noticing.

What? It's raining now?

Is this the power of the wizards?

'Basic education really needs to keep up. '

Lina couldn't help but hold her forehead and threw out a few magic spells to help these people isolate the raindrops.

Just after taking a hot bath, she was caught in the rain. If she got sick, it would be troublesome and would definitely slow down the progress.

You know, she finally got the initiative of this task from Ryan, who was about to return to the island, and she was ready to do something big.

After the raindrops drifted for a while, the dark clouds were dragged away by the phantom cloud snakes, and then the hot sunlight projected from the dome.

They still have many tasks to do. The entire ecological garden needs them to make rain like this, so of course they have to leave quickly.

Some of the accumulated water was quickly evaporated by the sunlight, but before the sun was strong, plants and mist blocked the sunlight, preventing the water from being completely evaporated.

The air suddenly became much more humid than before.

In just a short while, the humidity in the air was obviously higher, which made the residents of the South feel more intimate.

Yes! This is the South where they live.

Lina nodded with satisfaction and asked Yagob: "How about this?"

The latter quickly replied: "It's much better than before... but I still feel something is wrong."

He scratched his hair, and he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Lina knew why.

Although the humidity and temperature were simulated as much as possible to the real South Territory, the concentration of magic in the air and the magic field emitted by various magic plants were factors that affected the environment.

Those would require a long period of debugging to complete, and there was really no rush now.

'But this kid is quite clever. ' Lina glanced at Yagob and waved at him: "Come here."

"Master Mage."

Yagob was startled and hurriedly trotted to Lina's side, looking humble and pleasing.

Lina said indifferently, "If you have time, go to the Basic Training Primary School to take some courses. I like you. Maybe you will need to contribute more to the construction here in the future.

The Lord will not treat you unfairly."

The so-called Basic Training Primary School is actually a place for these ordinary people who are not apprentices to receive popular science and education, so that they can have a basic understanding of magic and cooperate with the mages to carry out some basic construction.

If you have to say, it is actually similar to the squire academies set up by the knights. In essence, they are all for better assisting the extraordinary people in their work.

If you have to say the only difference is that these extraordinary people in the North can take care of themselves, not the kind of masters who need maids/butlers to help them wash clothes.

Of course, this is also a training base for reserve apprentices.

Perhaps many people have certain talents, but they are buried for various reasons. Fortunately, Croa has enough resources and simply set up a few such schools.

Anyway... even if ten such schools are built, plus a series of expenses such as meal subsidies, the price is not as much as the money burned by the mages to do a few experiments.

For example, the piles of failed alloy materials, the magic crystal plates that failed to be engraved for some reasons, and the poor quality magic guides, even with the advanced technology that Croa got from various places, are inevitable losses.

These are the root causes of headaches for mages, and the fundamental reasons that restrict the advancement of most mages.

If Croa didn't have such a rich sea area that could be called the "Promised Land" for exploitation, and the mermaids were super otakus who stayed at home and fantasized every day, it would be absolutely impossible for it to develop so smoothly.

Magic costs money!

However, in short, the school, which was not a big deal for Croa, made Jacob stunned on the spot, and tears flowed down directly.

He... He can also learn?

He can learn knowledge!

He knelt down to Lina without saying a word.

This made Lina's mouth twitch, and she directly pulled him up with the magician's hand and said seriously: "These are all the favors given to you by Master Croa."

"Study hard and don't let the master down."

"Also, start building the house now!"

In fact, Lina is not good at facing this situation. She always feels embarrassed to be kneeled down and kowtowed solemnly. She is obviously not a big shot, how can she bear such a big gift?

Yagob, who was pulled up, wiped his eyes with his sleeve. He had not even met the Duke of Hanjiao, but his loyalty to him was unimaginable.

Seeing this, the others were a little eager to move - they were not very old, and of course they wanted to go to school and learn knowledge.

But they were still a little hesitant and planned to wait and see.

So in the following time, they began to build their own homes.

The buildings in the southern border are actually very different from those in the northern border. Because the ground is too wet, and there are often snakes, insects, rats and ants rampant.

So the construction of houses should actually be carried out at high places - most residents will choose to build houses between the aerial roots of a huge banyan tree in the southern border.

In fact, there is only one transplanted tree in this garden that is put into use. Its trunk requires dozens of people to hug it. The crown is so big that it seems to be able to cover the sky, and the aerial roots are like pillars standing on the ground.

In order to successfully transport this giant tree, Cloya can only use the channels of the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce.

The purpose is to reproduce the scenery of the South Territory more realistically and comprehensively - this kind of rain banyan tree is very important.

The people in the South Territory came under the big tree and began to dig the soil. They used the soil and banyan leaves, as well as the flowing sap and soil, and quickly made the soil into columns for making houses while the soil was not completely hard.

The building materials made of banyan sap will effectively isolate the excessively humid air from the outside world, and even have a series of functions such as repelling mosquitoes and insects.

Although there is no help from magic, the generous nature has given them something to survive.

This is the survival philosophy of their ancestors in the South Territory, so naturally there is no need for the magicians in the North Territory to point fingers.

At most, it is to build some basic infrastructure such as pipelines in the later stage.

Lina watched for a while, turned around and left, and took away all the monitoring functions in this area.

——This is what Kloya personally told her at the beginning. Other places can be monitored, but places where people live cannot be monitored.

Although this garden in the southern border is his property, he would not want to see people and animals living in it, just like the eco-bottles he made in his spare time.

Through the transparent glass, everything inside is clearly visible - as if he is an observer and a person looking down.

This is actually very immoral. Not only will it make him feel more and more perverted, but it will also make him feel that he is increasingly out of the scope of human beings.

…

After Lina leaves, this completed area of ​​about one hectare will be the future residence of some residents in the southern border.

They are the gardeners of this garden and also researchers in the southern border. Although Cloya has never been to the southern border, the wild growth environment in the southern border makes him feel that perhaps something different will be born.

For nature, wild growth is actually a good thing, and regular growth is also a good thing, but it is a bad thing to be neither up nor down in the middle.

There are too many standardized areas in Cloya's northern border. He really wants to see if this garden in the southern border can bring him some surprises and some novel discoveries.

Fortunately, the god of luck has always favored him.

Inside the southern garden.

——After working hard for half a month, Jacob finally lived in his own tree house.

He climbed flexibly along the rope woven from vines to the birdcage-like house fixed between the aerial roots.

The area of ​​the house is not large, only about ten square meters, but there are all the necessary things in the house, all of which were made by his hard work day and night in the past few days.

It is made of absolutely pure logs.

When he worked hard all day, lay on his bed, and looked at the night sky outside through the window, he was excited.

Although he left his hometown, after coming here, he not only received material packages every day, but also went to school to study. Even if he had to work late at night, he would not feel any fatigue.

"It's so good here... Mother Banyan."

He habitually touched the only place on the wall where there was no wooden board, which was the white aerial root of the banyan tree, and his voice was full of emotion.

In the dark night, this white aerial root will emit a faint glow, illuminating a dark room and a starless night.

Yagob grew up in such an environment since he was born. He ran in the forest to find food during the day and fell asleep at night feeling the glow of the banyan tree.

In most areas of the entire southern border, rain banyan trees are called "mothers" because they really give too many people the possibility of survival.

There are even some beliefs: the elderly will apply banyan sap to newborn children, believing that this will allow the banyan mother to protect the child.

Well, it is said that children who are smeared with banyan sap in this way are rarely harassed by mosquitoes, rats and ants, and even their chances of survival in the forest will increase.

Although I don't know what the basis is, this kind of tree does not have obvious magic fluctuations, but after all, it has been passed down from generation to generation.

Yagob stroked the aerial roots of the banyan tree. The rough texture was like the rough and calloused palms of his mother in his memory, and the aerial roots exuded a warm breath.

This feeling is reassuring.

Slowly, he fell into a deep sleep, and before falling asleep, he was still thinking about the meditation method that he occasionally heard from several magicians today.

The boy who muttered to himself until he fell asleep did not notice that one after another emerald green light spots appeared on the surface of the banyan tree's aerial roots, lightly surrounding and enveloping him.

As time went by, the number of light spots increased, gradually filling the entire room, and then flowed out through the open window.

They floated without any rules, like naughty children, flickering under the big banyan tree.

Soon the whole banyan tree began to glow. This huge banyan tree, which looked ordinary but was actually thousands of years old, emitted a green glow in the dark night.

There were also dark clouds and water vapor gathering towards it.

Since all the monitoring equipment in this area had been removed, such changes were not discovered at first until they were accidentally seen by the apprentices who were working late at night.

"What is that?"

"Quick, go and see the magic readings!"

"Go ask Teacher Oak!"

The apprentices put down their work and gathered outside the garden, and they were very sensible not to go in directly.

After all, they didn't know whether this change was good or bad. The data on the instruments they held in their hands that could detect magic were jumping wildly, sometimes high and sometimes low.

To be honest, they really haven't seen such complex magic readings for a long time. The magic readings in all areas of the North have stabilized.

Instability means that there may be good things inside, or it may be very dangerous. Everything is unknown.

Oak came over quickly.

It stood outside and looked at the place where the southerners lived. It quickly figured out the changes in the magic inside, and its eyes were full of confusion and surprise.

If it felt right... there was a natural breath here, and this natural breath seemed to be accompanied by pouring water vapor and dark clouds.

That was magic, but it was not formed by forcibly restraining elements with magic power, but a spontaneous gathering of nature.

"Druid?"

"Natural Druid?"

It suddenly thought of a possibility.

According to legend, some people who are favored by nature will be favored by nature and control unimaginable natural magic.

That is a genuine druid recognized by nature, a natural walker, and there is an essential difference between him and the earth.

The employment of druids needs to be recognized by nature, which is different from those who just learn some natural magic and call themselves druids.

But it is strange that there has not been even a druid in the North for so long, how come they suddenly appear now?

What is even more amazing is that they are "Storm Druids".

Why is that?

Are these people from the South more favored by nature?

It pondered for a moment and planned to step into this area, but when it was about to enter, the banyan tree stood up.
