Chapter 1654 The source of hatred, deep cultivation
"Ignore those common etiquette, I have lived for hundreds of years, what have I not seen? Appearances are born to be seen by others. I am not one of those noble people who are still unwilling to put down their airs. I am just a very ordinary person.
Humanity."
Speaking of this, Master Yerevan smiled slyly, "Of course, it didn't say that humans can't use elven blood! Hahaha!"
Then, the master greeted Sha Duo and Jenna sat down.
…
Just the first time they met, Master Yerevan left a deep impression on Shado. In addition to his appearance that was almost the same as that of an elf, the fact that the master always regarded himself as a human also made Shado very fond of him.
The so-called "noble one" is the self-proclaimed name of the elves, or to be more precise, it is a self-proclaimed name for humans. But the elven country even has druids who are almost full-time workers, so how can it be called such a title internally?
.
Among druids, there are gold elves and moon elves, but most of them are wood elves. If elves are all "noble people", why can most wood elves only engage in "low-level careers" such as druids?
In Master Yerevan's time, elves in Netheril were absolutely noble and beautiful embodiments. Shado had read the history of that period.
Elves have a long lifespan, and their union with humans may be out of true love, but humans' short lifespans doom this marriage to a happy ending.
In fact, many elves almost immediately abandoned their children and ran back to the elven kingdom after the death of their human partners. Of course, the elven kingdom here can basically be written as "Yerlan".
Only Erlan, who had close contacts with Netheril in the early days, had many cases of the union of elves and humans. There were only a few cases in other countries.
Of course, if the child has fewer human characteristics, then there is a high possibility that the elf parent will take the child away with them when they return to Erlan.
In history, there have been cases where children with more human characteristics were taken away, but without exception, almost all of those children were expelled back to Netheril.
Only a few are lucky enough to have an elf parent who is considered a high-ranking family in Ellan, so they can keep them secretly and cannot make them public.
Gustav Town, one of the seven towns in Sevington, was once the main settlement place for the expelled half-elves. Today, most of the members of Gustav Tower are also of elven descent.
This is the source of the dissatisfaction and even hatred towards the elves in Gustav Tower!
At the same time, this has become a political correctness within Gustav's Tower, and even the Grand Arcanist of Badigal cannot reverse it.
Of course, maybe he doesn't want to change it either.
Judging from the fact that Master Yerevan is almost identical to an elf, there is a high chance that his elf father or mother will take him back to Yeerlan.
Perhaps he had been brought back, but Master Yerevan finally chose to return to Netheril.
This may be another legendary experience!
And the master is still unknown in the outside world. Could it be related to his elf face?
…
Looking at the open-minded and generous Master Yerevan, for some reason, Sha Duo suddenly thought of a saying from his hometown - "A basket of food, a ladle of drink, in the back alleys, people can't bear their worries, but they will not change their happiness when they return."
Maybe Master Yerevan is still enjoying it!
Thinking of this, Xia Duo felt a hint of respect for the master again, and his tone became softer and more respectful as he asked:
"I don't know if the master has summoned Xia Duo to come here. What advice can you give me?"
"It's not advice, it's not advice!"
Master Yerevan waved his hands repeatedly, pointed to the "Agriculture Book" on the tea table in front of him, and explained: "I was reading your book, and I couldn't figure out some questions. I happened to hear Jenna say that I knew you, so I
I asked her to call you here, I’m really embarrassed to disturb you so late!”
"Master, you're welcome. It's an honor for Xia Duo to help you answer your questions! If you have any questions, master, just ask. I'll tell you everything I know."
"good."
Master Yerevan suddenly beamed with joy. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the "Agricultural Book" on the tea table. He flipped it through and found a fold. He carefully opened the folded part, pointed to a line of words on it, and asked
:
"It says that crops on the land need to be plowed deeply after harvesting. Of course, this new type of deep plow has not yet been verified, but based on my experience it should be useful. My question is why deep plowing is needed?"
"Well--"
At first, Shaduo thought Yerevan was going to ask about cooperatives, but unexpectedly, he came up and asked a detailed question about actual farming.
This is a bit difficult to answer, because he himself does not know much about it. Most of the contents in his "Agricultural Book" are about organizational methods and some experiences after verification in the field.
A few are the planting methods of his hometown that Xia Duo found out through his memories.
Of course, if you really want to talk about it, he can still tell a lot. After all, what our family is best at is farming. Even if you have little practice, you can know a lot through exposure.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Duo spoke:
"Master, I heard President Jenna mention that you were a Druid before. As far as I know, there is a magical skill called [Fertile Soil] among the Druid magic. Even if it does not induce additional birth, it will greatly shorten the life of the Druid."
Crop maturity cycle?”
"Yes, there is indeed this kind of magic, but my holy power has been taken back by that person a long time ago. There are similar spells in elf magic, but the process of converting Nese magic is not smooth."
Speaking of this, Master Yerevan's face darkened for a while, "I have been studying this for a lifetime, but I have only identified a fertile soil spell that is most suitable for winter wheat. Alas -
"By the way, does this have anything to do with the deep cultivation you mentioned?"
"Master, most people of Nese know that continuous planting of the same land will reduce the harvest, so they have three fields of rotation for farming. However, my territory is an open territory and there is little land for planting, so I asked the people to find a way."
"Let the citizens come up with a solution?" The master's eyes widened, "Can they come up with a solution?"
"Of course!" Xia Duo said with great certainty.
Perhaps Master Yerevan has a noble personality, but the limitations of the times still make him look down on ordinary people. In fact, although what Xia Duo said is not all done by the people of the territory, there are also ordinary people in his hometown!
"Tell me, what solution did your subjects come up with?"
"They speculate that there are substances in the land that allow crops to grow. Rotation is to restore this substance. But what if the soil is plowed deeper? By turning up the soil that has not been planted with crops, will it soon eliminate the need for rotation?"
"But this time we plowed deeply, what should we do next time? Do we need to plow deeper?"
"The master is joking, after deep plowing was plowed, it soon recovered after a year or two! It is equivalent to changing the three-field rotation from the original three-dimensional field into the three-dimensional rotation of the three fields."
With that said, Xia Duo added another patch to his words, "Of course, this deep farming method cannot completely abandon the fertile soil spell. Otherwise, long-term cultivation will inevitably lead to soil fertility decline, and we need to find ways to replenish it."
"Well, indeed!"
Master Yerevan nodded seriously, "Even the druid's fertile soil magic is not omnipotent. I once saw with my own eyes the desolate land in Yeerlan due to the failure of fertile soil. It was so miserable!"
Not sure if he thought of something bad, Yerevan frowned subconsciously, but then relaxed it and looked at Xia Duo calmly:
