Aunt Mia initially planned to decline the invitation to Lawrence. After all, he would have to go to the Passion Church the day after tomorrow to deal with the problems he had accumulated, and going to the cotton fields might take a lot of time, leaving him unable to catch up with his need to go to the Passion the day after tomorrow.
The church handles the matter.
However, Viscount Doropia quickly stated that he did not require Lawrence to solve the cotton field issues immediately. He could think about it in the past few days, and then come back to solve the current troublesome farmland pest and disease incidents after the church matters were dealt with.
He said that the Viscount's Palace could fully bear the cost of the Enterprise while he was staying here for research, and he promised that it would be consistent with everything currently provided by the church.
In addition, if it can really solve the problems they face, the Viscount's Palace is willing to provide Lawrence with sufficient remuneration. In addition to giving him a personal share, the Earl's Palace of Lawrence can also use Lawrence's Earl's Palace as its own cotton textiles.
dealers make New Saul Island the only textile distribution center on that island.
"Since you are so sincere, it is not appropriate for me to push back. Let's do this. I will go over and have a look as soon as the matter with the Passion Church is settled." After hearing the reward given by Viscount Doropia, Lawrence was quite satisfied.
He nodded. It seemed that the viscount did not cheat him because they were related, but gave him a very reasonable reward. If so, it would not be a big deal to go and see for yourself.
After discussing the issue of treating diseases in the cotton fields, Mr. Viscount invited Lawrence to go hunting with them in the woods. However, Lawrence declined with the excuse that since he wanted to do research, the sooner the better. Seeing that Lawrence could not be defeated, Aunt Mia could only
He could ask his son to take him to a separate room in the manor.
When they arrived at the door of this so-called independent room, Lawrence and Nora unexpectedly discovered that it was a greenhouse set in the woods. The surrounding plants perfectly covered up this small greenhouse, if an acquaintance hadn't brought it here.
It is impossible for ordinary people to find this place even if they are walking nearby.
"This greenhouse contains diseased cotton plants and samples collected from all over our territory." The future Viscount of Roppia, Lawrence's distant cousin, introduced him. "After discovering the cotton field,
After the lesions appeared, we began to collect these samples, hoping to find something from them."
"Have you found anything now?" Lawrence asked while looking at the cotton with insect holes on these plants. In his opinion, these cottons that were infected by diseases and insect pests were obviously attacked by the same kind of insect pests. If so.
If it cannot be eradicated by various methods, something is obviously wrong.
"No, we didn't find anything other than confirming that those pests were cotton bollworms." Lawrence's cousin shook his head helplessly. "This is what we find strange, but considering this
Since the information needs to be kept confidential, we can only study it secretly in this place."
Because Lawrence is now both a hereditary noble and a well-known scholar, and the most important thing is that he does not have a penny of interest here. That's why they allowed Lawrence to take Nora with him to examine these affected plant samples.
.If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn’t even know about this.
Because of this confidentiality, there are not many people who can examine these first-hand samples. This has also led to the extremely scarcity of professionals who have studied these cotton diseases and insect pests. But doing so has brought another disadvantage, that
Even though the outbreak of pests and diseases has been occurring for several months, we still have not been able to find out the source of the outbreak.
After a few simple exchanges, the cousin withdrew from the greenhouse very consciously, and turned off the magic monitoring facilities in the room. As a noble family with a long history, they naturally know what to do with spellcasters.
When others do, they should just avoid it.
"Okay, we should analyze all the samples first." After watching his cousin exit the room, Lawrence waved his hand and assigned the task to Nora, "Although now it seems like this is just a
It’s a common pest, but we all know that some of the messages behind it are not normal.”
"No problem." Nora said and flew up. At the same time, her hands released a large number of silver threads to connect to the specimens and the plants as samples. Then she closed her eyes. After a few seconds, both the samples and the plants were
They were all shrouded in a veil-like mist.
Watching Nora begin to carefully analyze the specific data of the samples, Lawrence also walked aside and began to observe the bollworm specimens taken from the cotton one by one under the microscope. After investigating more than a dozen samples, he unexpectedly
We found some questionable aspects in these specimens.
"The situation is indeed a little abnormal." Just when Lawrence was about to raise his head and tell Nora his analysis report, Nora also stopped casting spells and used soul contact to say to him, and at the same time handed over two cotton leaves. "
I just tried to touch these leaves with the pure power of faith, and now they have undergone strange changes."
"Oh?" Lawrence reached out to take the blade and cast a few spells. He didn't sense anything at first, but under Nora's guidance, Lawrence felt a little bit of extremely weak divine power. This divine power was different from his
It was different from anything I had seen before. It was full of vitality, but also had a strong sense of aggression.
"Different gods have different powers." While Lawrence was standing next to the microscope pretending to examine the leaves, Nora explained to Lawrence through the soul connection. "And the power above should come from a person we don't know much about.
The gods I know, if I hadn’t just checked repeatedly and found nothing wrong and then suddenly used the power of pure faith on a whim, I wouldn’t have discovered that this kind of disease and insect pests are actually related to the gods.”
"Is it related to the gods?" Lawrence asked with some confusion. "If I remember correctly, my relatives in the Viscount Palace should have asked spellcasters and clergy to check these samples, and even visited the place where the pest occurred.
But why didn’t this group of people discover this questionable place you just discovered.”
"Because the power of these gods is so weak that even professional clergy cannot detect them unless they can gather a large number of leaves or plants of this type and conduct targeted inspections." Na
La explained to Lawrence, "I actually took a tricky approach and used the power of faith to maximize the power within it, so I discovered the power of the gods hidden in it."
"This is indeed a bit troublesome. After all, nothing will be too simple as long as the gods are involved." Lawrence scratched his hair and said. "But the good news is that if we can figure out a way to make ordinary extraordinary people
If everyone can detect this divine power, we should be able to get enough reinforcements."
"Yes, for example, various Orthodox churches will definitely be interested in this kind of magical power that appears inexplicably." Nora tilted her head and thought for a while before saying. "And I feel that the main part of this kind of divine power has a kind of...
Human beings are very unpleasant and aggressive and carry some power of corruption and death, which may very well come from evil gods or even some kind of lower-level existence with divinity."
"The lower plane? If it's true, then we have to remind them when we notify them." After all, the lower plane is not a good baby. Once the church or something goes over to investigate, they will probably jump over the wall. So in advance
