The Defeated Dragon
Chapter 9: Poor Land in Peanut Tun
The palm-red Fire Dragon Horse carries Earth Knight Lister across the muddy land to the peanut garden. Peanut Tun is a much smaller residential area than the village, with seventy-eight thatched houses scattered sparsely.
“What are you waiting for? When Lord Lords arrive, pray on your knees!” Town clerks, legs and feet knock flexibly at every farmer's door.
Slaves live here.
Coming out of the leaky house, the expression on his face was numb with life oppression, and Mune stood at the door, overwhelmed. Under the scream of the clerk, he knelt down and prayed in the direction of Lester.
The actions of adults are numb.
Only a few naked little kids, from time to time, raise their heads and measure Lester with dirty but bright big eyes. He was then slapped in the head by an adult and knelt on his knees, like them, with his head almost on the ground.
“Who's in charge of Peanut Tun?” Lister asks.
Gaultai rides on his horse, nothing to do with his appearance, he does not know who is in charge of Peanut Tun. A clerk made a sound: “Back to the adult, it was old George with a limp leg. ”
“Invite him over. ”
The clerk quickly pulled an old man with a crippled leg who could not walk. The old man had patched clothes on him, and his dry body seemed to run out of grease at any moment.
“My lord, old George is here. ”
The clerk pushed the old man, seemed to want the old man to hurry up to salute him, but the old man seemed very nervous, and Mune stood overwhelmed.
Lester waved and let the clerk back down, gently saying: "Don't be nervous, old George. I'm Baron Lester Tulip, Lord of Flower Town. I hear there's a problem with the peanuts in Peanut Tun. Take us to the field and see if you can solve this problem. ”
“Ah, oh, Baron... Lord...” Old George's nervous stutter, "I will lead the way... thank goodness... Peanut Tun is saved... Lord Lord has come to save us! ”
Agitated old George, even walking can take the wind.
Farmland Lister visited, but only stood outside and took a look at the farmland, and now he really weighs it carefully. Because they are the fields of serfs, there are no fields, and each piece of long striped farmland has only one trench as a dividing line, different kinds of serfs have different fields.
Farmland output, almost 90 percent, belongs to the nobleman, Lester.
The remaining 10 percent is their rations.
at this moment.
The green peanut fields were supposed to be green, blue and yellow, all the peanuts had broken out, half dead and paralyzed on the ground. The land is damp and obviously the serfs are not watering much, unfortunately watering does not allow the flowers to live.
Old George wiped tears and said excitedly: "Lord, we are not lazy enough to pour water three times a day, but the peanuts are still dying. Now there is only the field of Archie, the peanuts have not yet disappeared, but they are not going to survive, some leaves start to turn yellow. ”
Along the direction of old George's finger, Lester saw the long field in the middle of Peanut Tun farmland.
The central part of the long field, green, is much more spiritual than the yellow and green peanuts surrounding it.
Lister rolled over and walked over to the farmland, bending over and pulling out a yellow peanut seedling, and was about to take a closer look, and Gorte suddenly said, "Lister, you shouldn't touch these dirty things, just let these serfs do it.” Though a desperate knight of the Lord, mentally, the civilian population is more despised than ordinary aristocracy.
Liszt ignored it.
Instead, observe the peanut seedlings in your hand repeatedly to determine why.
He's not an agronomist, but he planted fields when he was a kid, and he's not new to agriculture. The peanuts of both worlds are similar in some respects and strange in others. But basically, it can still be judged that the peanut seedlings in your hand are the result of malnutrition.
“Use grass ash, or manure, to pour the fields? ”
“What?” Old George doesn't know, “Lord, we watered three times a day! ”
Lister asked, "No fertilizer? ”
"What is fertilizer? ”
I don't even know what fertilizer is... Lister feels silent: “How do you all grow peanuts? ”
Old George whispered a bunch, basically the autumn and winter growing wild grass, burning the fire down next year, then planting the peanuts, the planting is done is watering, weeding. Generations grow like this, with particularly low yields. Only aristocrats can use elves to influence plant growth for the purpose of abundance.
Lister couldn't help shaking her head.
Without fertilizer, on a few occasions, it has to turn into barren land. Large areas of agricultural land in front of us are about to grow into yellow land. No wonder peanuts are dying. This is “starving” to death.
But then Lester started to wonder, "Why didn't you starve to death before, and now the peanuts are starving to death? ”
According to old George, they do this every year, except for droughts and floods, which have never produced similar phenomena. So the nutritional scarcity of peanut fields, I'm afraid, is another reason.
“What is the reason? ”
His eyes turned to the green one in the middle of the field, thinking carefully.
All of a sudden, the light flashes and reminds me of the reward of a task - a task that demands the healing of a peanut field and rewards a Pokémon. Based on the way he was rewarded for his first assignment, Lester felt that the Pokémon would not come out of the sky and would probably suddenly pick up one on the way.
“Reward me for a Pokémon... peanut field malnutrition...” Stand up, Lister already has the answer in his heart, “I'm afraid that what causes peanut field malnutrition is that the mission is to reward my Pokémon. Pokémon grow from plants, and my Pokémon, I think, is the Peanut Pokémon. ”
Waving his hand, he greeted the crowd: “Go to the center of the field and see. ”
Everyone walked on their feet to the middle of the peanut fields, where the peanut seedlings were quite flourishing. Lester looked for memories, and when he was a kid, he saw the collection of Pokémon bugs, almost in the flowers of a plant, or in a bud, hiding a Pokémon bug like a baby with a warm jade.
Different elf worms, with different patterns.
At his current price, he has four Pokémon, a Tulip Pokémon, a Thorn Pokémon, a Poppy Pokémon and an Alfalfa Pokémon. Pokémon breeding needs to be accompanied by farming, and Gaultai is currently helping him find suitable farmland for Pokémon breeding.
Looking for a moment, Lester didn't find a peanut seedling with a Pokémon bug.
“It's probably too late to keep up with nutrition, and the peanut worm will probably have an abortion.” Lester couldn't help but tighten his hand and the Pokémon represented productivity, a task that could not fail.
Think here.
He said to the people, "I think I understand why, old George. Now, do as I tell you to do to heal this peanut field. ”
“Praise the Lord!” Old George cried with joy.
Gorte asked surprisingly, "Lister, you really found the problem. Do you still grow peanuts? What caused the peanuts to die? ”
“It is not yet possible to say that we shall see in a few days.” Lester was conservative and didn't say why. He was also worried that he was wrong. If there were no elves at all, wouldn't it be a dragon?
So treat the peanut seedlings first.
