Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence-Chapter 549 - 19: The Results of Farming
The problems faced by the Dawn Goddess Church in the Territory now are clearly unique to the Hesse Territory’s predicament.
Most people believe that extensive use of magic and divine magic in this dark and hopeless world will inevitably lead to even more desperate outcomes.
Su Li brought countless opportunities to the Territory, allowing it to flourish under the abundance of magic and fantasy abilities.
But this booming vitality and prosperity influenced by the convergence of the Wind of Magic surely harbor great risks. Just like the Magic Capital is bound to be destroyed by magic, the High Elves have already shown this scene. Excessive gathering of magic, and over-reliance on the Prophet, will certainly lead to demons under extreme prosperity.
So after listening to Vandar’s narration, Su Li immediately felt that the fruit tea in his hand lost its fragrance, and he tasted death and blood from it.
He immediately put the teacup on the table and said, "The pillars of the Empire have always been steel, faith, and the Nineteen Taxes. A large-scale and loyal reliable populace is indeed the core pillar of our Territory. Talk about the output of the common populace in the Territory."
Su Li now truly feels that this catalysis cannot continue to go madly on.
The development of the Territory needs to rein in the frenetic momentum; stabilization is the most important thing.
In fact, there already are signs in the Territory. In the most sacred and largest Holy Land, Lake Revelin, mutations arise daily with a large number of monsters hidden beneath it.
Now the intelligence system reminds Su Li once every one or two days to be cautious of attacks and hunts from mutated monsters at the lake bottom, lest this sacred place becomes a source of filth, corruption, and evil mutation.
Although for now, this Holy Land still appears relatively normal, if the Wind of Magic is abused without restraint, it won’t be long before the monsters increase and strengthen, and at nightfall, eerie phosphorescence will surface on the lake. Powerful and terrifying monsters are lurking and developing, and by then, even common people will occasionally hear spooky low growls coming from the waters.
Once the situation deteriorates, the Daily Intelligence system will be subjected to erosion and influence, changing from reminders every few days to daily screen-floods from the Revelin Lake mutation crisis.
By that time, the situation will really enter a crisis, completely irreversible.
Chaos lurks, corruption erodes. The fate of this land is at a crossroads of destiny.
But fortunately, this is only the first year. If timely predictions and preventive improvements are made, the situation can still be recovered.
This is also one important meaning for convening this annual meeting, both to report this year’s achievements and to summarize the great problems and crises that exist this year.
Vandar then continued to report, "After the conclusion of the Holy Debate, our Dawn Church noticed this issue. Catalysis in the Territory has basically stopped, retaining only some essential divine magic such as [Reya’s Mercy], [Natural Order], and [Sun Descent], which provide a good environment for plant growth."
"So we are basically relying on manpower to cultivate Purple Crystal Grapes and spirit medicine farms. The current growth scale of these two items is still within normal limits, with Purple Crystal Grapes maintaining at five acres, primarily cultivated by our nuns through techniques such as cuttings and graftings. Divine magic only ensures they have better growing conditions and higher survival rates."
"The spirit medicine farm is entirely guided by our nuns to your slaves for production, using only the Wind of Jilun gathered by the Holy Purple Vine Tree, without any divine magic. Using these herbs to consume the Wind of Jilun is also a good thing for the estate. Otherwise, a large gathering of the Wind of Jilun without dispersal will surely cause stones to turn into skeletons, trees to grow limbs."
Su Li nodded slightly; the Wind of Magic in this world is too dense. Common people dare not go into the wild because there are too many strange mutations. No one knows if the stone in some corner has already mutated into skeletons, if human corpses have mutated into Corpse Demons.
The Holy Purple Vine Tree, as a Spirit Tree, attracted a large amount of converged wind, certainly bringing many benefits, but if handled poorly, the Wind of Jilun might cause trees in the Fantasy Garden to grow tentacles and limbs, or even human faces, devouring humans entering them.
In a sense, the Green Dragon Aeliria’s absorption of the Wind of Jilun on the tree crown is also beneficial for the Territory, she can be considered an Auspicious Beast.
Herbs are similar. A proverb says, where there are venomous snakes, there nearby surely is medicine.
Nature will balance the Wind of Jilun, generally growing plenty of Calming Flowers under the Tree of Life, as an expression of balance.
And under the Holy Purple Vine Tree, the Dawn Church intentionally planted a large quantity of Calming Flowers.
Su Li had not paid detailed attention to this side before, so he asked, "How many acres of spirit medicine do our spirit medicine farms actually plant, and what is the price per Calming Flower?"
"We have planted a total of 15 acres of Calming Flowers, with the number per acre between 3500~4000 plants. The limitation of Calming Flower scale is the quantity of seeds. These Calming Flowers sold to different merchants and forces have price fluctuations, sold to our Territory’s hospitals, monasteries, and pharmacist workshops at around 18~23 Silver Coins per plant, sold to caravans and other forces at around 25~30 Silver Coins per plant."
