The Second Era 377, late April.
The annual winter wheat harvest season is approaching. Winter wheat in the southern plains is usually planted around October last year and then matures around May next year. Because of the not-so-high cultivation level in this era, the main crops such as wheat, rice (there are similar crops in the lower reaches of the Nidolia River), sorghum (the similar crops are planted by barbarians and orcs), and some drought-resistant crops are all ripe for one year. In other time periods, some other crops are mostly planted by jiāo subsidy cultivation.
Therefore, in places like the southern plains, winter wheat harvested once a year is particularly important.
But this year, the winter wheat in the ground was growing vigorously when it was chun, but in January, February and March, there were no pests in the ground, but all the winter wheat seemed to have some disease, and some light purple or dark spots appeared on the stems and leaves. Many places had a large reduction in yield, and even had no harvests.
If the winter wheat, which is the main cultivated crop, has no grain harvest, it will be a huge disaster for the entire southern plain.
It is not a drought or a flood, but the crops planted inexplicably began to get sick and then significantly reduced their yields. This situation is not only limited to the human city-states in the southern plains, but other places such as the Orc Empire, Jingling Woodlands, Dwarf Mountains, etc., have seen different degrees of crop yield reductions. Some can still harvest a little, while others have no harvests.
This situation can be said to have suddenly intensified the outbreak of wars between various races on the mainland. Some species that lack food have begun to actively launch wars of aggression, and some uncivilized species have even begun to feed on the bodies of other races.
………………………………………
The deterioration of the situation has made the higher jing spirits very busy. It has to be said that although these higher jing spirits seem a little arrogant, they are indeed the guardians of the world order from the starting point. At least they have been committed to protecting the natural environment of the world and maintaining the balance and order of the world. Perhaps they will also make some mistakes, but overall they still make a lot of contributions.
Because there are food shortages in different degrees in the continent, if this situation continues, the whole world will probably cause large-scale wars and disasters. Therefore, after urgent consultation, the High Spirit Council began to send large numbers of high-level druids to all parts of the world to check the specific situation and find out why such a large-scale food production reduction occurred this year.
At the same time, the messenger of the moon god Ai Lùen on earth and the powerful moon walkers gathered together and began to actively march towards the dark area.
Because the message from the God of Life tells them that the root of everything is likely to be triggered from the dark area, and the filthy and turbid breath has begun to spread in the underground world. If this evil and filthy energy continues to erode the earth, the land of the whole world will be affected by negative energy and then become a soil full of evil and death.
One of the Moon God's agents, Rose-Tyrande, was an air-to-opener that connected the underground world with a team of high spirits from the Karazan Mountains near Athens.
Since he chose to enter the underground world from near Athens, this powerful moon walker inevitably saw the mountain giant guarding near the pits connecting the dark areas. Rose-Tyrande was naturally very happy to see the powerful allies of the previous era, but just after she sent an invitation to ask for help, the epic mountain giant close to the god shook his head.
"My ancient ally"
"My long life has reached its end. I am about to return to the embrace of Mother Earth. Although I can feel the evil approaching again, I cannot help you again." The voice of the mountain giant was very tired. Although it was still so powerful, it was really about to reach the end of time. If the new element core had not been split out, it might have survived for hundreds of years or even thousands of years. But after condensing the new element core, its life has become very short.
Mountain giants have no other elemental life. For them, the continuation of descendants is to separate part of their life as a new beginning.
"But my ancient ally, you may go to a place called Athens, where the governor has the new elemental core I have given him. He is a human being blessed by the mother of the earth, and he should help you fight against evil together." Just when Rose Tyrande was extremely disappointed, the epic mountain giant's words made her feel extremely excited.
But what she never thought was that this matter would be related to Murphy again
Moreover, this epic mountain giant, comparable to the powerful existence of the ancient jing spirit, will actually give the new element core and the continuation of its life to an ordinary human.
This seems to be too incredible to Rose-Tyrande
But things were so unimaginable. After saying goodbye to the tired mountain giant, the powerful moon walker led a team of high-level jing spirit warriors into the dark area. As soon as he went deep into the underground world, Rose-Tyrande discovered a serious problem, that is, the large number of dark mushrooms that originally grew in the underground world were gone, and replaced by a large number of gray-purple mosses. The growth and spreading speed of these mosses was very terrifying. Now it occupied a large number of places in the dark area, and even the road was covered with dense layers.
If you continue to grow at this pace, these weird gray-purple mosses will likely fill the entire dark area
After a few days of searching, Rose Tyrande had to leave with his team.
She didn't know what the specific reason was, but it should be related to these gray-purple mosses that reproduced and grew in large quantities, because this gray-purple moss has a faint smell of death, unlike a plant that appears naturally. She was going to take this thing back to Lord Da Druid, can the reason be found out from the Nine Astronomy Network?
But after she brought this gray-purple moss out of the underground world, as soon as she was exposed to the sun, the moss that had previously been very vivid and strong in vitality began to wither at a rapid speed, but suddenly became dull and lost all the luster, and the moisture began to evaporate quickly. A faint breath of death hidden in it disappeared in an instant. As long as you gently pinch it with your hands, these withered mosses turned into a piece of gray powder.
There was no way, Rose-Tyrande could only go deep into the underground world again, wrap it with something and bring out some such gray-purple mosses again to avoid being shined by the sun, and then take them back for Lord Daru to study.
………………………………………
Just as the moonwalker Rose Tyrande left with these gray-purple mosses, Murphy was also studying this large number of plants with two masters in the Arcane Laboratory of Athens Academy. Because the people were rushing out, Murphy had to investigate the reasons for their large number of appearances. Because of the alliance with the Hawk King Evanna, Murphy entrusted the matter to her.
As a result, a few days later, King Evanna sent him a large amount of this gray-purple vegetation.
"This moss is slightly poisonous. If eaten too much, it will cause organisms to have hallucinations, become crazy, and become more and more blurred. Moreover, this gray-purple moss also contains a trace of death, which is very strange." ** Master Meilin placed the lost moss on the laboratory bench, and then took a test tube and dripped it gently on it, and then a trace of black gas emerged from it.
Each plant contains elemental genus xìng, yào agent alchemy has a very accurate effect on analyzing the content of plant elements. Since coming to Athens, the main research on alchemy has shifted from Murphy to two masters. Now, in addition to educating apprentices and sorting out knowledge books, they are conducting various alchemy experiments every day.
"As long as it is stormed in the sun, this moss will weather quickly, and the moisture will evaporate at an astonishing speed, losing its luster, and the elemental power it contains will also change from alive to lazy, becoming like ordinary dust." Grey-robed mage Gandalf sprinkled a handful of gray powder on a tray, and then poured water and some soil. Soon, he saw that many small purple spots appeared in the ash powder combined with the soil and water, and more and more. A thin layer of purple float float floated in half an hour.
The gray-robed mage Gandalf had a serious face and continued: "Although it will wither when it encounters sunlight, after it witheres, as long as there is moisture and soil, the powder they transform into can be regenerated at an extremely fast speed."
Murphy was obviously aware of the destruction of the emergence of this vegetation on nature, and using modern knowledge, he also conducted an important experiment.
That is to storm this gray-purple moss under the strong light and sunlight to see what difference they will happen. In this primitive world, sunlight does not belong to ordinary light, because it is said that it contains the divine power of the sun, and it is the nemesis of all evil and filth. But Murphy from the earth would not think so, because he knew that the sunlight contained ultraviolet rays and a large number of cosmic rays, which were completely different from ordinary light.
Murphy used arcane spell to create a strong light source, but under these strong lights, the moss itself will be suppressed from growing and then appear a little sluggish, but it will not wither so quickly.
This made him confirm something, that is, these gray and purple mosses are not afraid of light, but are afraid of ultraviolet rays
……………………
"There is a magistrate outside the Governor who wants to see you." A general guard walked in quickly and spoke.
Anyone want to see me?
Or is it a stern division? Are there so many stern divisions in the southern plains?
Murphy was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then stood up to greet him. Although there were not many mages in the southern plains, there were no other seclusion masters. Since the other party was a transcendent teacher, it was necessary to greet him in person. After all, we should still give a certain respect to such an existence.
After walking out of Athens Academy, Murphy indeed saw a teacher.
And it's quite big
"Why are you here?" Murphy stared at the young man wearing a wide cloak in front of him helplessly, and shook his head.
Although most of her body was hidden under the cloak, Murphy still recognized her identity at a glance, because the fiery red robe that leaked from the cloak could not be covered up. Most of the mages that Murphy knew now were relatively simple, and there was obviously only one with such fiery red robe, that was the legendary wizard he had seen in the main city of Half-jingling.
The magician Lina Inbas, who had a little nimble mind.
"Why can't I come?" Shao NV glared at Murphy and asked with confidence.
Murphy murmured speechlessly, and had to raise her hand to lead her in. Faced with this legendary wizard who had a little funny mind, Murphy was really exhausted. Often, she was speechless by the problem of not being on the same level of thinking. Later, Murphy was basically afraid of her, and she wanted to hide away when she saw her. Now that this young man actually came to Athens, Murphy was suddenly one head or two big.
"I'm just bored and wandering around." Seeing that Murphy seemed to be a little uncomfortable with him, Shao NV could only run twice to catch up with him, grabbed his arm and shook it, and made a cute and coquettish expression and said, "Don't do this, I'll leave now."
After saying that, Shaonvlù showed an aggrieved expression.
Acting cute?
How can this guy be cute?
Murphy, who had a tense face, was speechless and could only sigh and said, "If you were just visiting Athens, I would welcome you. But what you did at Banjing Ling can't repeat here."
The quality of this little money-absorbing is really too bad.
After staying in the half-jing spirit for less than half a year, she almost made people feel angry. But she was so strong that she fought against a large group of demonized lizard men on the battlefield in the north of the Lizard Man (the other side of the Onyx River).
This is so no one dares to really fight with her.
Can't you win or avoid it?
In the end, almost all the half-jing spirits hid when they saw her, and even Artoria hid far away when she saw her. Murphy suspected that this little girl with a little brain was running to Athens now, and it is very likely that there were not many people on the half-jing spirit who could pay attention to her. After all, few people were willing to do too many streams with someone who always cared about their wallets.
In fact, Murphy only guessed halfway.
The more important reason is that in the Lizardman War, the young nv in front of him took advantage of the black dragon flying to the battlefield on the other side of the river bank and quietly used a big move to end his battle. Then he flew sneakily to the southern wilderness, strolled around the black dragon's dragon's nest, and took away a considerable number of shiny things. In fact, she was not bored and wandering around, but was actually being chased by a group of black dragons.
This situation was not until she secretly ran away to Athens, where Athens, shrouded in the glory of the gods of Olympus, could actually block the black dragon's tracking magic of her.
So she ran to the depths of the Karazan Mountains first, and then sneaked into Athens quietly. Finally, she got rid of the black dragons for the time being.
As for why she remembered Murphy, it was a little twist.
As we all know, Athens is a very prosperous city. At least there is no more prosperous place in the entire southern plain than Athens. As a prosperous big city, Athens' quality of life is naturally very high, and the same consumption level is not low at all. Athens' spirits are equal to silver and gold of the same weight, and Athens' hotels are luxurious and noble. These are all prepared for the big merchants who come and go, and these are all rich masters.
As a mage, of course, she would not want to stay in such an ordinary hotel and eat foods that didn't taste very good. But if she had to spend a lot of money on her own, she wouldn't be willing to do anything.
So she remembered Murphy, who had seen several times, the Governor of Athens.
A free meal ticket
……………………
The story was roughly like this. Shao NV followed Murphy with a shameless face and looked around curiously.
In this era, there were almost very few large-scale education colleges like Athens Academy, and even higher spirits might not have such a large-scale school. So Shao NV looked at the surrounding buildings curiously along the way, and when they encountered interesting sculptures, they had to run up to moxie it, which seemed very childish. After entering the laboratory of the two teachers, Shao NV suddenly became quiet. She looked at the glass test tube crystal bottles and other equipment in suspicion, as if she remembered something.
When Xiao NV's eyes fell on the gray and purple moss on the laboratory bench, she couldn't help but say in surprise: "Isn't this dead moss?"
