When the time acceleration stopped, the original time acceleration area suddenly became brighter, and the wheat cultivation that originally looked orange became brighter, almost orange.
And the plump and heavy wheat ears hanging down seemed to be trying their best to show their most attractive characteristics to all the onlookers.
At this time, Yerevan walked to the edge of the field, picked off a handful of wheat ears, rubbed them in his palms a few times, and then threw them to the square with all his strength. As the wheat grains scattered in his hands flew towards the crowd, more and more grains of wheat were scattered in the field behind him.
Under the influence of an invisible force, many wheat ears broke away from the plants and flew towards the crowd.
Soon, the first person caught the wheat grains. He seemed to be an ordinary craftsman. After catching the wheat grains, he directly stuffed them into his mouth without any additional actions.
Then he looked at the expectant eyes next to him and said loudly: "It is fuller than ordinary wheat, and it also has a hint of sweetness! What Master Bonumessis said is true!"
This craftsman is just one of the countless people in the square who have obtained wheat grains and ears of wheat. Some of those who have obtained wheat ears will, while verifying the results themselves, also distribute the excess wheat grains to their surrounding companions.
For a time, there were countless exclamations in the square, as well as excited and eager shouts from those who had not received the wheat grains.
In addition to giving to ordinary people, Yerevan also sent wheat ear samples to several spectators. Xia Duo got one by himself. In fact, he didn't even need to look carefully to understand that this thing was better than the wheat currently grown in his territory.
Higher yield.
The quality may also be higher!
The most critical thing is that the maturity period is shorter than that of normal winter wheat, only six months, and these six actually include the entire time from planting to maturity.
The germination process accounts for nearly half of it, and it lasts for three months. If it can be shortened, the time can be advanced.
Considering the extremely cold environment created by Ambassador Cormanzo just now, Xia Duo really couldn't think of the possibility of waterproofing. Normal climate would not be able to reach that extreme state.
In other words, in reality, it probably does not take three months to germinate. If it can germinate in four or five days like ordinary wheat, then the cold-resistant wheat produced by the Yerevan master can definitely be called
"Super wheat".
As for the yield, Xia Duo estimated that with intensive farming, the yield could be at least three times that of the current wheat in the territory, and if it were replaced by other territories in Netheril, it might be more than three times.
In other words, this alone allows Netheril to support three times the population of the past when the climate was normal. If coupled with the short maturity period, then——
There is no doubt that even if the climate environment worsens in the future, Netheril is likely to see a wave of population growth.
The lords of Netheril may not be willing to give the high-cost food grown in the arcane gardens to their subjects, but if the subjects can grow high-yielding food themselves, they will definitely not mind receiving higher taxes.
Even if the proportion left to the residents is lower than in the past, in the face of high yields, they can still obtain enough food to feed the whole family and even increase the population.
At this moment, Shado really couldn't figure out the possibility of Master Yerevan's failure, and this made him even more vigilant.
…
In the audience seat, after checking the true condition of the wheat ears one by one, everyone also expressed their congratulations to Master Yerevan.
The envoys from various countries in the Northland, even Ambassador Komanso who was still standing in the middle, expressed their congratulations to Master Yerevan expressionlessly.
Although elves are arrogant and like to play tricks, it is almost impossible for them to lose face and lie in front of countless people, especially in front of countless people who are also envoys of the elven country.
Then Ambassador Cormanso returned to the viewing gallery, and Shado was about to go back with him, but Master Yerevan stopped him: "Lord Shado, I need your help next."
"The spell that blesses ordinary seeds?"
"right."
Master Yerevan nodded, turned around, and said to the crowd in the square: "I just used the time acceleration spell to demonstrate the growth of new wheat, but it still takes time after all.
"With so much land in Netheril, we cannot produce so many seeds instantly, so we need to use a blessing spell to make the current ordinary seeds have the ability to withstand harsh weather. Next, I will demonstrate this spell."
After saying that, Master Yerevan took out a dimensional bag. He was about to take something out of it, but he seemed to have thought of something, so he put the small bag away again, and then shouted to the crowd:
"Is there anyone here who can support me with some unmilled plain wheat?"
Asking people who came to the conference for grains of wheat would be regarded as collusion and preparation in advance, but Yerevan still asked.
Xia Duo also looked at the crowd in the south curiously, wondering if he would really pick out a person carrying wheat grains, but now that there were so many noises in the square, he didn't bother to distinguish them.
Just pay attention to the changes in the surrounding clouds and the orderly circulation.
But Yerevan, as the protagonist of this conference, was naturally not like Shado. He quickly picked a target, and then an anxious, excited voice that seemed to be mixed with a certain accent spread throughout the square——
"I own a bakery in the port area and they have wheat there, not far from here. Wow, why did my voice get so loud?!"
The man seemed to be frightened by this vision, but then he realized that he had become the lucky one chosen by Master Bonumessis, so he shouted excitedly:
"The master has chosen me? The master has chosen me! The master has chosen me!"
"My friend, please go home and get some wheat now."
Yerevan reached out and pointed to one of the crowds of people in the southwest direction of the square, and then a man who was struggling with his hands and feet rose from the crowd into the air with a high-pitched scream——
"Ah - I can fly, I can fly!"
After a few flutters, the man seemed to be swimming, fluttering and rolling as he flew farther west, which also caused a commotion below.
There were all kinds of people whistling, throwing hats, and even jumping up to try to catch each other and fly with them.
However, with Yerevan's comfort, the crowd quickly returned to normal. After a while, the man who went to get the wheat grains flew back carrying a medium-sized cloth bag.
He flew to the ceremony venue and handed the bag to Yerevan. Yerevan opened the bag, opened the mouth of the bag, and showed about a pound of wheat grains inside to the audience at the ceremony and the crowd in the square.
At this moment, Xia Duo vaguely heard an extremely sharp female voice coming from the southwest direction of the square, which seemed to be yelling something, accompanied by the booing of the people next to him. After listening carefully, it turned out to be——
"Baker! You damn ghost, you are so stingy, why don't you get more!"
Baker at the ceremony venue couldn't hear this, but the spellcasters in the audience might not be able to hear the woman's curses through some perception spells.
So almost invariably, many mages showed disgust and contempt in their eyes, but many of them smiled knowingly without any obvious bias.
