Chapter 90 Navigation Preparations and Speculations

Alger's eyes widened and he thought he heard wrongly: "What did you say?"

"I think Mr. Frank's idea is very interesting." Richard replied thoughtfully, "Hybridization can indeed increase crop yields. My teacher said that cold-resistant plants and drought-resistant plants should be planted together and cross-pollinated.

There is a chance that after several generations of selective breeding, crops that are both cold-resistant and drought-resistant can be developed. But can this be achieved between plants and animals? I have never thought about this... I will talk to my teacher later.

"

Alger was overwhelmed by a lot of professional terms in Rune. This was not his area of ​​expertise at all. He quickly interrupted Richard: "Planting and farming are the farmers' business. If it doesn't work, it's also the Earth Mother's business."

This matter has nothing to do with you, aren’t you a philanthropist?”

Richard answered him seriously: "Charity is not just about helping people live, but more importantly, telling them how to live."

"If you just give food without assistance, it will be okay in the short term, but it will harm the other party over time. Open a factory to recruit employees, and teach children to read, write and sew. In this way, at least they will not starve to death."

"Increasing food production is also a good way to help people. I really want to communicate with that gentleman."

Captain Ghost frowned and did not stop him directly, but reminded him tactfully: "...Mr. Ernst, tomorrow will be a good day. If you want to go to sea as soon as possible, please prepare all the supplies today. We have not discussed the route yet.

, these are the things that need to be resolved urgently.”

"You're right!"

"Not so polite."

"Okay, thank you for your understanding, Mr. Wilson."

Alger suddenly felt that something was not right, and saw Richard looking at him with sincere eyes that no one could refuse, paired with his usual hearty smile. Richard took one of Alger's hands and put the small book with the list of supplies in it.

In his hand, he helped him close his fingers cordially.

The hands were hot and hot, with a force that could not be refused. Alger did not break away, and was suddenly shocked. Richard seemed not to feel the other person's brief stiffness, and patted his shoulder with great enthusiasm and familiarity:

"I understand, Captain, I will just say a few words to him and then come back. I believe in your vision and your good quality of honesty and trustworthiness, so I will leave the purchase of supplies to you!"

Alger's expression changed, and he was a little unsure of his client's thoughts, which made him very uneasy. Before Richard turned around and headed to where Frank was, he lowered his voice and said:

"He is Frank Lee, an Extraordinary of the "Plower" path. It is said that he is a subordinate of the Star Admiral. The Star Admiral tends to be neutral among the Four Kings and Seven Generals, but he is also someone who is not easy to offend. You... don't anger him.

he."

Finally, he asked: "Mr. Ernst, you don't seem to care about safety issues. Is this out of trust or your own strength?"

"Both." Richard turned around, lowered his head slightly and whispered to Alger, "In terms of strength, although I don't have an advantage in the sea, the sequence is still passable, but I am higher than you.

It’s a sequence, so I still need your care.”

A Sequence 6... Alger's eyes widened slightly, but returned to normal in the blink of an eye. Sequence 6 was no longer a level to be envied by him who had already digested the Sequence 7 potion. As long as Tarot

He would be able to find the formula, and Sequence 6 was within reach. So he was shocked and adjusted. He nodded, watched Richard leave, and then silently gave up the idea of ​​reducing supplies to enrich his own pockets.

Frank was walking on the road carrying two sacks of soil. He was wearing a straw hat, rolled up his sleeves, and had traces of soil all over his body. He looked more like an ordinary farmer than a pirate.

He was thinking about why the calf didn't grow out of the soil. Is it because the soil didn't have enough nutrients? So he bought two kinds of soil this time and was going back to do a comparative experiment. Frank slowly dragged the bag while thinking about the experimental data.

, at this time, a rush of footsteps quickly approached him, and at the same time, a huge shadow appeared on the ground.

Frank wiped the sweat with the back of his hand, raised his head, and looked at the tall young man who came to him: "Hello? Are you okay?"

"Hello, Mr. Frank!" The tall young man looked very happy, and he came closer regardless of the dirt stains on Frank's body. "I heard the idea of ​​hybridization you were discussing with others, and I think your idea is perfect! Could you please

Tell me about it? My teacher once told me about the breeding method of 'hybridization'. Two plants with different advantages are planted together and cross-pollinated. After several generations of artificial breeding, there is a great difference.

Probability breeds plants that have the best of both worlds.”

"Although what you are talking about seems to be hybridizing animals and plants, which does sound impossible...but this proves that your research project has a lot of room, and it may be possible to do it through 'genetic' means! Please don't

Give up, you are doing a great thing!"

"——"

Frank was stunned, and the two sacks in his hands fell to the ground.

Richard looked at him nervously.

"you you--"

Frank was so excited that he grabbed Richard's hand suddenly, making the other person as dirty as himself. If he hadn't been concerned about the other person's clothes being much cleaner and neater than his own, he probably would have hugged him.

"Thank you, you can actually understand and understand my thoughts!"

Frank's face flushed with excitement, and he even stuttered: "Yes, yes, I put forward a similar point of view when I was still in the Mother Goddess Church. When I was studying the literature, I found that my ancestors had done relevant research, but

When I wanted to test it, the bishops stopped it... because they felt it was unnecessary. As long as they prayed to the Mother Goddess and had extraordinary abilities, they could increase food production several times. There was no need to spend decades of manpower and material resources to make one.

It’s an experiment that I don’t know yet whether it will bear fruit or not!”

"Probably because your choice to hybridize animals and plants is really a bit too advanced..." Temperance Angel rationally analyzed.

"Maybe. Maybe. But it is definitely a subject worthy of study. If it can be done, people can eat meat that is as cheap as food."

Frank was in high spirits: "If it weren't for the fact that our ship was docked briefly, I would really like to chat more with a kind person like you. Now I have to go. Please tell me your contact information!"

Contact information... The ever-burning fire, the protector of all those who resist fate, the prisoner of chaos and death struggle, the curse... Richard subconsciously began to recite his honorable name in his mind, and then quickly interrupted his thoughts,

He quickly took out Garland De's business card and handed it over: "What a coincidence, I will go to sea soon, and maybe I won't come back for a long time. This is my work address. If you are willing to write to me, I will be very happy.

of."

"You want to go to sea..."

Frank calmed down a little, made a gesture of holding a baby, and said with a pious expression: "Although I don't know what your beliefs are, I hope your kind mother will bless you and return safely."

"At sea, shouldn't you pray to the Lord of Storms?" Richard said half-jokingly, "Thank you, Mr. Frank."

Chorwood District, Minsk Street 15.

After returning home, Klein rested for a while and went above the gray fog, intending to divine Will Asceptin's affairs.

He let the paper crane fly out from the pile of debris in the corner, landed on the long bronze table in front of him, and then took off the citrine pendant wrapped around his cuffs. While holding the pendulum in his left hand, Klein used meditation

After adjusting, he recalled the scenes he saw in the woods outside the cemetery.

He may not have noticed some details, but his spirituality will definitely not make any omissions. This divination mainly takes advantage of this and relies on the gray mist to eliminate interference.

After making preparations, Klein produced a new piece of parchment and wrote a "divination statement": "Will Auceptin is completely dead."

Immediately afterwards, he pressed the paper crane next to the divination sentences, so that the citrine pendant almost touched those words.

After entering a meditative state and completing all the steps of the "Pendulum Method", Klein opened his eyes and looked at the result:

The citrine pendant is rotating counterclockwise, very fast and with a large amplitude. This means denial.

This means that Will Asceptin is not completely dead!

This... Klein was surprised and felt that this seemed to be expected. He thought about it and changed the divination sentence again:

"That body is that of Will Asceptin."

This time, the pendulum gave a positive revelation.

That body does belong to Will Asceptin!

Klein had a vague idea and wrote a new divination sentence again: "Will Asceptin's body will be resurrected."

After working calmly, Klein saw a revelation: it was rotating counterclockwise at an extremely fast speed. This meant that Will Auceptin's corpse would not be resurrected, that is, it would not transform into a corpse!

It seems that Will Auceptin actively or passively abandoned his previous body and survived in another way... Is this matter related to the "Snake of Mercury"? Klein tried to divine other contents, but all failed.

The results of failure include "Will Auceptin's current status".

However, when he used the "dream divination method" to repeat the previous divination and asked "Will Auceptin's current location", he still got a similar picture: a dark room, the sound of rushing water.

But this seems to give people a slightly different feeling.

Forget it, there is no need to waste time, I am not going to get involved... Klein put away the pendulum and prepared to return to the real world. Through the divination just now and various previous things, he had a vague understanding of Will Asceptin

A guess, but impossible to confirm.

Will Asceptin is another "mercury snake"!

As Sequence 1, the "Mercury Snake" is not unique, there can be up to three "s" existing at the same time!

The "Snake of Mercury" in charge of destiny can naturally locate the location of Allen's spiritual body simply through paper cranes, create false revelations to the other party, and undoubtedly has the ability to change someone's destiny with just one word.

Will Asceptin has become weak for some reason. Combined with the scene that appeared in Allen's dream, he may be under the threat of the second "mercury snake". Everything he does is to get rid of the other party.

But there is no longer a giant silver snake with red eyes in Allen's dream. It can be understood that Will Auceptin successfully escaped the other party's pursuit, and took this opportunity to quickly abandon his body and transfer himself.

As for the reason for their conflict, the answer is simple:

When there is no sequence 0, there can be three sequence 1s at the same time, but once there is sequence 0, there will be no sequence 1!

For this sentence, the recipe of the "Black Emperor" potion illustrates the true meaning.

One of the main ingredients of that formula is: the extraordinary characteristics of the two "Princes of Slaughter"!
