Mystic Wizard in Azeroth

Another two months passed. During this period, Taranas and Aristophanes sent two scout teams to quickly explore north along the east and west sides of Lake Arendall, and stayed at a suitable station. imprint.

And Adrian, who returned to Silvermoon City, finally sent a reply to Taranas. As Aristophanes expected, he did not see Anasteria. The report also fell into the sea after it was handed in, and there was no news.

But at this time, after two months of training, the recruits finally looked a little better, and with the harvest from fishing, they didn't have to worry about supplies, which made Taranas feel relieved.

What made him uneasy was Aristophanes, an "atypical mage." After the last meeting, he assigned a few ranger recruits who could farm land to him according to Aristophanes' request.

Then Aristophanes took these few recruits and began to inspect the land on the southeast shore of Lake Ellendal.

"Master, the land here..." After these recruits followed Aristophanes to inspect a part of the land, one of the recruits turned his head and spoke to Aristophanes hesitantly.

"Don't be so formal, Frewin, and tell me your opinion."

The boss of the copy of the ecological ship in the previous life, a senior botanist, is just a young ranger who has just joined the army. Aristophanes didn't know it before, but when Taranas recommended it to him, he mentioned that one of the recruits had a family that did plant research, and asked him if he needed it.

Aristophanes must! No matter how many such talents come, there is never too little, so Frewin followed two other recruits and was brought out by Aristophanes for inspection.

This is the location of the Tower of the Morningstar in the later generations, located on the east side of Lake Arrendal, across the lake from the camp. According to Aristophanes' observation, the land is very fertile and easy to irrigate, and with a little rest it will be an excellent farmland.

"My lord, then I'll say it," Frewin said boldly, "I don't think this place is suitable for planting ereme, a food that consumes mana, and it will cause great damage to the environment!"

"Is it because of the concentration of magic power?"

"This is one reason, and the other reason is that the Eremai variety grows too slowly. Even with magical ripening, it takes two and a half years."

"You're right, what about your suggestion?"

"I have observed it carefully. This land is very suitable for planting some herbs, such as silver leaf grass, swift grass, live root grass, etc. If you think about it, blood thistle is also good."

"Blood thistle is impossible," Aristophanes directly refused. As for the reason, it was too addictive. "But are the herbs you mentioned easy to grow?"

Frewin shook his head: "My lord, I have never been to a place so far away from the Sunwell before, so I have no way of determining the specific growth effect."

Aristophanes sighed, he shook his head, and rejected Frewin's proposal: "What we need now is food crops that can grow quickly and are rich in nutrients. Although herbs are good, they are not suitable at this stage. You still have Any other suggestions?"

"My lord, if you are not picky, there are two things we can grow: pumpkins and grapes, and now is the season for pumpkins."

Aristophanes' eyes lit up. Pumpkins are a good thing, from roots to fruits. Grapes can be used as food supplements for rangers, and can also be used to make wine and collect funds.

"Very good, Frewin. Do you know how to grow these two crops?"

"My lord, I have studied the cultivation of these plants at home before."

"Very good, then from today onwards you will be the planting captain of the camp. I need you to reclaim ten acres of land within a month and plant suitable pumpkin varieties."

Frewin looked troubled.

"What's the matter, is there any difficulty?"

"My lord, we are short of manpower.

And I don't have any suitable pumpkin seeds here, so I need to go to Taquilin Town to buy them. "

"I can dispatch manpower for you, and you don't have to worry about pumpkin seeds. I will send someone to Taquilin to buy them. Just write down which variety you want. Just one thing, I need you to plant suitable crops on this land as soon as possible. "

A month later, Kars followed Aristophanes to work in this land.

"Aristophanes, I really don't understand what you are thinking," Kars said while weeding, "A dignified master arcanist, who went to do farm work in person, made people in Silvermoon City laugh when they saw it." You can't lose your teeth."

Aristophanes wiped the sweat from his brow, stood up and looked at the germinated land, and said with a smile: "Isn't my magic not working, and this place is not within the range of Bandinor, and magic machinery can't be used." , can only rely on manpower."

"That doesn't mean you and Taranas will take turns!"

"I can't help it. There are too few people in the camp. Part of it is patrolling and guarding, and part of it is fishing and killing water elements. I don't want to be hungry at the end of the year, and the rest will have to farm. After all, Taranas and I belong to the camp. Supreme Commander, we still understand the principle of leading by example."

Kars muttered something like "We are rangers, not farmers", when Frewin came over from a distance and stopped the two of them.

"Master, Lord Kars, the grapes I cultivated before have also sprouted, do you want to take a look?"

The two walked out of the pumpkin field carefully, then washed their hands, and walked to a wooden house at the foot of the mountain next to the field.

"My lord, look, these are grape seedlings." Frewin pointed to the flower pots on the shelf.

Aristophanes looked along and found that a shelf full of flower pots was filled with a short vine, some of which had sprouted green shoots.

"Very well, Frewin. What kind of grapes are these?"

"My lord, this is a kind of grape that is widely planted in the manor of Eversong Forest. It is called Moonshine. It can be used for wine making or edible. It tastes very good."

"Approximately how many acres of land can these be planted?"

"There are almost a hundred plants here, which can only fill about a quarter of an acre of land, and after transplanting, they will have to adapt for a period of time. Don't expect a large-scale harvest this year."

Aristophanes nodded: "It's okay, you can follow your pace step by step. This is a big project, and it's enough to harvest one crop of pumpkins this year."

Time soon came to the second half of the year, and the two teams of scouts sent out to investigate also returned. As Aristophanes expected, the scout team in the west encountered a river. When they went downstream along the river, they found When they arrived at Coron Village, they realized that this river was the Ellendale River.

The scouts on the east side were blocked by the mountains. They said they saw a large island. There seemed to be a cave on the island, but they didn't dare to explore deeply because there were no ships.

After Aristophanes completed the sand table based on the descriptions of the scouts, the terrain in the northeast corner of Silvermoon Forest, including half of Lake Ellendal, which is the northeast corner of the land of ghosts in later generations, has been accurately and clearly described.

He found Taranas again, and after explaining his purpose, he took out a roll of parchment: "This is my plan, take a look first."

Taranas took it and read it: "The five-year development plan of Camp Morning Star?"

"Yes, the following is divided into five aspects: agriculture, military, metallurgy, construction, and people's livelihood." Aristophanes spoke while Taranas watched.

"Do you have any questions?" Aristophanes asked after he had finished reading.

"There are no other problems, the only question is where does your money come from?" Taranas asked in confusion.

"I found a magic web energy gathering point on the east side of the lake."

"What?!" Taranas felt as if he had misheard, "Gathering point? Are you sure?"

"Yes, the kind of gathering point where a medium-sized mage tower can be built has a fairly high concentration of magic power. It's just northeast of the pumpkin field."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Secretly contact His Majesty the King, and wait."

"Wait?"

"Yes, once His Majesty's money arrives, we can start working on our five-year plan."
