Release that Witch

Shortly after the minister’s assistant left, the prince ushered in a long-lost good news.

Sean, who came to Bishui Port to buy crop seeds, returned.

When Roland followed the guard's guard and walked into the garden, he saw Sean and several other guards unloading a bag of bags from the back of the mount.

It’s been almost a month since the day of departure. Today, he looks a lot tanned and his body is getting thinner.

Seeing the prince appear, Sean immediately stood up and raised his hand. Roland stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. "Good job. What seeds are brought back?"

Sean squatted down and untied the parcel on the ground. "Pearl rice, eggs, sugar bars... The plants you described, I bought them in the clear water port. Indeed, most of them are produced in the fjord country, but the clear water port has already There are quite a few farmlands that are growing these crops."

“Have you asked the businessman about the method of planting?”

"Asked, but they can't say the specific method. They also said that if these plants leave the South, it is difficult to grow in other places." Sean grabbed a yellow orange-orange granule from the parcel and spread it in front of Roland. "His Highness, this is Pearl Rice. The businessman said that if I bought it together with the pearl stick, it would be cheaper. But the pearl stick is too heavy and not convenient to carry. I only bought one complete one, the rest are peeling. Good seed."

There is no doubt that pearl rice is the corn he is familiar with. He excitedly picked up a corn kernel and looked it in the sun. The fruit is a bit dry and it seems to be stocking a winter stock. The yield of corn is naturally higher than that of wheat, and the low soil requirements, coupled with the transformation of the leaves, may soon replace wheat and become the main ration of Bianbu Town.

Sean untied another parcel and took out a round brown crop. "This is an egg. I ate it in a hotel in Bishuigang. I cut it into a basin and chew it very crisp. There is a faint sweet smell."

Seeing this familiar shape, Roland felt very much in his heart. This is clearly a potato! He used his fingers to open the dirty skin, revealing the deep yellow potato inside—compared with the later generations. At this time, the potatoes were not big, the tubers were dark, and not every one grew like an egg. He noticed that there were potatoes in the bag that were long like carrots.

"This thing is crushed and steamed into a paste to eat better."

"Hey... Your Highness, have you eaten?"

"Well, I have eaten in the palace banquet," Roland decided to lie, because the name of the egg is too ugly. "The royal chefs don't call it eggs, but the potatoes. The delicious snacks steamed out are called Mashed potatoes."

"It turns out that it’s true that you are your Highness." Sean exclaimed, he opened the last straight package and pulled out a black stick. "His Highness, I think this crop is the most important." The water in the clear water port is very cheap, mostly because of it. I heard in the pub that more and more farmland began to turn sugar sticks. The stalks of this magical plant turned out to be sweet and cut. After the outer skin is removed, the sugar can be extracted. The price is one tenth of that of honey, but it is sweeter than honey*.

"..." Roland wants to say that this crop has also been seen by himself. By the way, the name has been changed to sugar cane, but if you think about it, it will not be too late to correct it when the farmers are planted. Sugar cane can be used as a raw material for the production of sucrose. It can also be used to refine ethanol. It is a crop that can greatly improve the happiness of residents. Think about it, the pancakes made from flour are odourless, but if you put some sugar on it, you can make the taste feel a few layers, even if the salty party like Roland will fall for it.

“Is there any other crop seeds?”

"There is nothing in the clear water port," he took out five or six bags of small skins from his close pocket and handed it to His Highness. "You tell me that the seeds of the gray fort and the town's plants are not brought back. I chose it when I passed through Liuye Town and Panglongling. There were grapes, soybeans, cotton, flax and olive tree seeds. But the farmers said that most of the grapes were planted by inserting the branches into the ground. But the germination period is very slow, and the grapes that are formed are not very tasty."

There are leaves, these are not problems, Roland thinks. Now with the grape seed, maybe try the vine version of the wheat. Soybeans, cotton, flax, and olives are all useful crops. The leaves are first modified to suit the western climate and soil, and then handed over to the serfs for small-scale planting. Finally, the Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for summarizing and improving the preparation of the planting manual.

"His Royal Highness, I still have some news to report to you," Sean whispered, "about the situation in Clearwater Harbor."

"Is it related to the three kings?"

Sean nodded. "I stayed in the clear water port for nearly two weeks. In addition to buying seeds, most of the rest stayed in the pub. There are rumors that your sister, Garcia Wimbledon, and the sand people reached an agreement. She put the edge of the South The land was provided to the sand people to live, while the sand people used her as the king to listen to her recruitment and dispatch. While I was in the harbor, I saw a lot of Mojin people on the street."

The Mo Jin people in the extreme south... Although Bianbu Town does not ask for a birth, it is another matter to bring a large number of aliens to the territory of the kingdom to settle down. It seems that in order to compete for the throne, Garcia is really unscrupulous, Roland thought. "The Shamin is also divided into many factions. It is impossible to listen to her instructions. Do you know which clan she is pulling?"

Sean shook his head. "The sand people are very wary of the gray castle people. I can't buy more detailed information with Jinlong. But... one thing is very strange. The day before I originally planned to leave the clear water port, Garcia from The Eagle City triumphantly returned, and the city was celebrating everywhere that their queen defeated the pseudo-king Tefko. As a result, four or five murders occurred in the city the next day, and one of the victims was torn in the street. A few pieces."

"The clear water port was subsequently imprisoned. I had to stay there for three more days. The pubs were closed. Everyone gathered in the hotel lobby to talk about this. Some people said that it was the revenge of the pseudo-king, and some people said that it was the sand people. One of the fjord traders said that he witnessed one of the murders. The abuser is not tall, obviously not a sandman, but the strength and speed are not like normal people can have. The security team was killed by him, but he was indifferent even if he had a few knives in his body. Until more security personnel arrived, the shield spears would kill him. I didn't dare to stop doing more, and I immediately got back on the merchant ship."

"You are doing very well," Roland thought for a moment. "The Golden Dragon that is left in the purchase of the seed does not have to be returned to the City Hall. It is your reward."

"Thank you under the court!"

"The strength and speed are far more than ordinary people, ignoring the pain caused by the knife wound. It sounds like...the pill of the church." After the guard left, the sound of the nightingale sounded in his ear.

"I think so. But it doesn't make sense," Roland frowned. "According to Sean, Garcia will only get pills earlier than me, and support the two sides to compete for the throne... they What are you thinking about?” There is a faint thought in his heart. Isn’t the real purpose of the church not to see a stable gray castle?
