"Oh oh oh, so that's it."
"Hey hey hey, so that's what it is."
"Wow, wow, so many things happened?"
Nigris and Anthony exchanged views on the Supreme Mobilization Order, the Land of Sinking, and the origins of the undead team of the Golden Teeth. When they looked back, they almost spit out a mouthful of blood. Ange actually reached into the Palace of Rest again.
Vegetables are being planted here.
"I said Ange, we are talking about the situation in the plane, can't you just listen?" Nigris said angrily.
Ange tilted his head and asked, "Can I grow vegetables?"
Nigris felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart: "Can't..."
"Oh." Ange responded and concentrated on growing vegetables.
Nigris and Antony looked at each other.
Anthony said: "I was a little worried before, worried that you would get involved if you knew about this matter. Now it seems that my worries were in vain, right?"
Nigris nodded and said dejectedly but somewhat relaxedly: "Yes, our adults are only interested in growing things. It seems that from now on, you don't need to tell us anything that has nothing to do with growing things."
"Well, speaking of this, I do have some news related to growing things. Humanity is facing a great famine. Do you have any extra food? Sell it all to me."
This is not the first time that mankind has faced famine. Since Anthony was still a "human", mankind has faced famine more than once. After he became Antony, famine has continued every year.
Although he was helpless, in the process of his efforts to climb up, famine was often the aspect where he could best achieve political achievements, and he was also very willing to achieve political achievements in this aspect because it could save many people.
Most famines are caused by uneven distribution. Large landowners and large merchants monopolize grain transactions. They will transport grain from low-price areas to high-price areas. However, transportation is a process and takes time. Once there is a natural disaster,
Man-made disasters and road cuts will trigger chain reactions, not to mention hoarding and the like.
A small number of famines are caused by reduced food production, rapid population growth, war and other reasons. The great famine mentioned by Anthony refers to this kind.
"The main material plane has actually been quite peaceful in the past ten years. There have been no major wars, and small disputes do not affect the overall situation. Therefore, the population has grown explosively. In the past few years, the food supply has been somewhat tight. This year, there is drought and little rain in the south, and the food production has decreased.
It is foreseeable that if there is not sufficient food supply, I don’t know how many people will die next year.”
Anthony said worriedly: "Our eastern diocese is okay. I have built a lot of granaries to store grains over the years, but the western diocese is in trouble. Now that Nicholas is dead, I want to compete for the position of the pope, and I must win over the west.
Nothing can win over the people of the diocese more than disaster relief."
"Uh, do you want to provide disaster relief, or do you want to win over the people?" Nigris was speechless.
"It makes no difference, right? Just because I want to win people's hearts, don't the victims I save count as my own?" Anthony said matter-of-factly.
"That's true, but you are overthinking it. No matter how powerful Ange is, he is still just one person. No matter how much food he grows, he can't make up for the great famine of mankind, let alone you can't afford the equivalent." Negris said.
"What's the equivalent?"
"Soul Flame, Faith."
Anthony broke off contact and stopped mentioning food or the like, because he really couldn't provide what Ange needed.
Even though he is sincerely committed to immortality, the Church of Light is still the capital of his settlement and life. It is impossible to send believers to Ange. The church will tear him apart as soon as possible.
And Ange's growing things is purely an obsession, as is the exchange of equal value, and wealth such as magic crystal gold coins has no meaning to him at all, only soul flames can be used by him.
…
Where the Dragon Temple used to be, the remains smashed by the sand thieves have been cleared away, leaving only the flat ground.
Brusque painfully took out the materials from the dimensional space. These materials were carefully collected by it, and many of them were precious and rare. After all, those who could catch the eye of the Dragon Clan Chief could not have junk.
They are like a middle-aged dragon's collection of private money, and it is really painful to be forced to take it out.
"Using such good materials will create a top-notch teleportation array. Even the teleportation arrays on Dragon Island are not willing to use such good materials." Bruske muttered.
All the materials were placed, and Brusque stood in the middle, with magic power surging, and circles of magic patterns spreading out from it, layer upon layer.
As if these circles were attracting, or some invisible hands were fiddling with them, the materials on the ground slowly floated up and moved to the positions corresponding to the magic pattern circles.
All the materials were moved into place. Bruske slammed his hands down, and the magic circle and the materials fell at the same time. With a series of muffled sounds, a complete teleportation array was assembled.
Shafia's eyes widened and she was dumbfounded: "Is this... is it completed? The boss took several years to move the materials for the previous teleportation array, and it took thousands of us several months to build it. Oh my God, he
Is it all done with a wave of your hand?”
Niali smiled and comforted her: "Don't be surprised. If you know his identity, you will know. This is only natural."
The Strong Man of Truth is a more terrifying existence than the Magister. If it hadn't turned into a human form and limited some of its power, the power of the dragon alone would have knocked down 90% of the people here.
Alas, it's a pity that this guy was so embarrassed in front of Ange and Nigris that he didn't dare to speak loudly, so he gave people the impression that he was a weakling and easy to bully. Hey, that's not his true face.
After the teleportation array was built, everyone couldn't wait to communicate with the Abyss of Rest. The first thing teleported over was several tons of grain and a sapling.
"You can eat these green dates for one meal. If you eat every meal, it will make me sour. If we continue to eat, we will definitely perforate our stomachs and die here. We will become the first batch of Titans killed by green dates!" Zi Ku said in disgust!
Speaking of.
"Yes, yes, there is also the first unicorn that was killed by green dates." Lightning rarely shared the same enemy with Zi Gu.
Being disliked, Shafia said awkwardly: "There are also little fat sheep, and we also eat green dates every day, and we haven't died of acidity."
Lisa snorted: "You still say no? Lan and I have been here for so long, and most of the people we treat are people with gastrointestinal problems. The older we get, the more serious gastrointestinal problems become. Your food is too simple."
Shafia said helplessly: "There is no way. There are too few things that can be grown in the oasis. The only things that can fill my stomach are green dates. I also want to eat beet buds, but I can't grow them. Wait, leave them for me."
A little." As she said that, she went to grab food herself.
Ange planted the teleported world tree saplings on the sand dunes, then began to plant a large number of grass squares, goos and jujube trees, and then stepped on the footprints.
As the number of times increases, Ange is now becoming more and more proficient in using the quick-death halo, and he is getting more and more experienced. For example, with straw felt, he does not need the grass to grow to maturity, he only needs them to take root.
Therefore, we choose grass with a very large root system that can penetrate deeply and stably, and then gently accelerate it for a short time to create a large area of ​​grass mat, while consuming very little soul flame.
The straw mats were divided by the sand people, and then spread on the sand dunes at certain intervals. After the mats were laid, they were interplanted with potato and jujube trees in their intervals, and then the halo was activated.
It only takes a short time for the grass grid, potato and jujube trees to take deep root and go through the most critical rooting period.
In this way, the soul flame, which is only enough to ripen crops once, can allow ten times more grass squares, sweet potato and green jujube trees to take root and spread over a larger area.
Of course, the shortcomings are also obvious. These crops need to go through a whole growth cycle, which takes more than half a year. Jujube trees are cut from cuttings, but they also need to grow for one or two years before they reach the period of high yield.
During this time, they need to experience the harsh climate of the desert.
However, straw mats and green dates are both crops native to the desert, and the environment in which sweet potato grows is very similar to that of the desert. However, the soil composition is different. The sandy soil in the desert is too barren, and you will have to find a way to add fertilizer later.
…
When Niali heard that Ange was looking for fertilizer, she came over coquettishly and pushed Nigris aside: "Ange, um... um... I heard that you are looking for fertilizer?"
Ange nodded.
"Well, uh, you should know that the one of our dragons is very effective, and I have been in the desert for a long time..." Nellie said awkwardly for a long time, and Ange tilted his head.
I can't understand what it means at all.
Nigris leaned over and said, "I understand, you have lived here for so long, and your habitat contains dragon poop that you have pooped for more than a thousand years."
Before she finished speaking, she was scratched by Niali's little paw: "As big as you are, dragon, our female dragon doesn't poop, even if it smells delicious!"
Nigris scurried away with his head in confusion, what kind of logic is this?
…
Through the newly built teleportation array, the group of people came to the crypt where Nellie once lived.
Niali pointed to one of the holes leading to other places and said: "That leads to my toilet. Besides me, there are many birds defecating into the pit, and there is a thick pile of white bird droppings.
It has no smell because it has been dried for a long time.”
"Guano? Oh, you told me earlier, that is the real good fertilizer." Nigris said excitedly. After saying this, the whole dragon was not well. It was just bird droppings. Why should he be excited?
?
Saobada, why are you excited about bird droppings? You don’t eat those things, just because they can be used as fertilizer? Saobada, have you been infected by that vegetable-growing skeleton?
The deeply shocked Negris followed everyone into the cave and went to the dragon's toilet.
The further we walked, the stronger the wind became, and the brighter and brighter the front became. Soon, the front suddenly became clear.
"Uh, is this what you call a 'pit'?" Nigris said.
What appeared in front of everyone was a huge rift valley, like a knife cutting into the earth, creating a deep crack that stretched forward to the end of the horizon.
And where they are now is on the upper part of the rift valley wall, with a cliff hundreds of meters down. Nellie can push her butt here and defecate down, which is convenient and clean.
To be continued...
