Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 2062 - 953: Deepening Cooperation (Part 3)
The Laiserman Witch was equally keen on Armed Ray Fish.
Whether for transporting The Fearless by air or partnering with those Laiserman Witches, they were very practical.
Most importantly, the Red Robe Mage of the Kingdom of Ser was collecting Cloud Manta worldwide, clearly intending to imitate and prepare for large-scale arming.
This kind of strategic equipment is most feared when the enemy has it, and one’s own side does not, easily falling into passivity.
Although the territory of the Laiserman Kingdom is now shrouded in the Totem Dreamscape, entering their airspace rashly might provoke a Dream Strike.
However, there are no omnipotent spells in this world; once targeted and studied, methods to counteract them may be found.
"As long as the Lord Witches have needs, I will certainly not refuse." Gaven did not set any conditions this time.
Compared to their cooperation, the fee for taming Cloud Manta was merely a petty profit.
After discussing the major cooperation projects to a mutual understanding, both sides delved deeper into the development of Klonte and confirmed the territorial dividing line between them—Lake Asen.
West of Lake Asen, Gaven could develop freely.
Lake Asen and eastward belong to the territory of the Laiserman Kingdom, and any development there would require the approval of the Witches’ Council.
They did not completely prohibit the Soaring Dragon People from fishing on Lake Asen, but restricted fishing methods, disallowing netting, spearing, or using Tremor Bomb or Magic Fish Bomb, with angling being the only legal method.
Gaven was not surprised by this, as Lake Asen is home to a large amount of Intelligent Aquatic Species, which rely on the fish to survive.
If these land dwellers were to catch a large number of fish from the water, their survival would become extremely difficult, and other fishing methods could easily harm them.
Therefore, Gaven did not argue but instead proposed a new point of cooperation: "Lake Asen has many shallow areas, and I wonder if some can be fenced off for aquaculture.
In the Northern Lands, there is a shrub known as Styrak Bush, which is very much loved by various aquatic creatures. Using it to mix with other grasses and grains to make fish feed, aquatic creatures grow not only faster but also relatively larger.
Over the past six months, this method has brought us a large amount of fish harvest; this farming model is mature and worth promoting."
Rely on the mountains to eat from the mountains; rely on the water to eat from the water.
Farming is not merely about planting grain.
Like apple tree cultivation, aquaculture, and animal husbandry, all fall into this category.
Klonte’s development does not need to start from scratch as before; many things can be used directly to enter multi-dimensional development.
"Styrak Bush, what is that?" The Water Spirit Witch showed deep interest, as it directly involved her core jurisdiction.
"This is it." Gaven pulled out a Styrak Bush, which resembled a fluffy wooden cabbage.
This wasn’t prepared beforehand, but rather the benefit of his hoarder attributes.
This Styrak Bush was one he had casually collected during an inspection of the Styrak Bush cultivation base, and was the oldest one, over half a century old, making it the old longevity bush among Styrak Bush.
As soon as Gaven took out the Styrak Bush, the Water Spirit Witch couldn’t help but take a deep breath, with a trace of unconcealed intoxication in her eyes. She took it, broke off a piece with a snap, and put it into her mouth in public, chewing it with crunching sounds, enjoying the crispy sensation as if eating instant noodles.
While eating, the Water Spirit Witch praised non-stop, "Delicious, really delicious, you all should try it."
Others were curious, wondering if this thing, despite its appearance, was a rare delicacy?
With this mindset, they all took a piece from the Water Spirit Witch’s hand.
Only Gaven was unmoved, as he had tasted it long ago.
Styrak Bush can be eaten as a vegetable, but its taste is far from delicious, with a strong bitter fishy taste within.
Steaming, stir-frying, boiling, frying—all cooking methods fail to completely remove this taste.
The older the Styrak Bush, the stronger the flavor.
What the aquatic creatures seem to like is precisely this taste.
The only explanation is that their taste buds differ.
Sure enough, apart from the Water Spirit Witch, others stopped after just one bite.
Those showing courtesy to the Water Spirit Witch forced themselves to swallow it.
A few straightforward ones spat out the Styrak Bush right away, nearly shouting "What is this thing?"
"What? You don’t like it? I find it very tasty!" The Water Spirit Witch looked surprised.
This Styrak Bush not only has a complex and diverse taste, but once ingested, it ignites like firewood in the abdomen, warming the whole body, much like a fireplace in winter, indescribably comforting. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Could this unique feeling be solely aimed at aquatic creatures?
If so, it’s no wonder it holds appeal for them.
Overall, the water environment is usually cold and damp; even intelligent beings don’t have the chance to use a fireplace, making this feeling enticing for all aquatic creatures.
She controlled her gluttonous behavior with strong willpower and said: "There is no need for aquaculture at Lake Asen; none can compare to the Water Elves in this area.
All you need is to plant Styrak Bush extensively and produce fish feed.
We are willing to exchange fish harvests and aquatic products for it, which is much more time-saving and labor-saving than your aquaculture."
"Lord Witch speaks very reasonably; I was restricted by habitual thinking, getting this matter wrong. In fact, commerce solves it more easily." Gaven admitted readily.
Having dealt with intelligent aquatic life too little, he subconsciously treated them as beings without intelligence.
This directly led to fundamental errors in some decision-making.
When humans engage in aquaculture, it’s nowhere as convenient as the intelligent creatures living in the water; they understand the habits of aquatic life better and have richer experience, lacking only the abundant resources from the land.
And this forms the basis for trade.
