Chapter 18 Birchworm

The birch trees may be giving birth to fairy bugs, which undoubtedly makes Russell feel that happiness comes suddenly and at the same time he is under a lot of pressure.

There are elves born in the wild, but they are very rare.

The reason is not that plants and mushrooms in the wild cannot absorb the power of the earth. It's because the power of the earth is thin after all, and without the blessing of the elves from the same origin, it is extremely difficult to rely on plants and mushrooms to absorb nutrients and successfully breed elves.

There is a high probability that it will end in miscarriage due to insufficient supply of the power of the earth.

"Can this tree... give birth to birch fairy bugs?"

Looking at the dim luster emitting from the tree trunk, Russell tried his best to recall the memories of his predecessor, trying to find a way to help the birch tree.

From what we learned from our predecessors, we know that elves have appeared in human sight for at least four thousand years.

How to use elves to grow magic potions, he is already quite proficient.

There is also a mature plan for how to use magic potions to cultivate new elves.

But how to improve the fertility of wild elves is still a big unsolved mystery, and we don’t even know how to find wild elves. After all, plants and mushrooms will give birth to elves, and they are all random, with no fixed rules to follow.

Tonight, Russell encountered the thickest birch tree, which was giving birth to elves. This does not mean that the thickest and tallest birch tree would definitely give birth to elves.

And just because it has been conceived does not mean that it will definitely be successful.

Maybe the shortest and slender birch tree can also give birth to elves, but it has a higher probability of success than the thickest and tallest birch tree.

Therefore, fertilizing, watering, weeding, and repelling insects are ineffective in breeding elves.

Otherwise, after thousands of years of human farming history, we should have cultivated countless crop and fruit tree elves to farm happily.

"Ice cream, do you have any idea?" Russell couldn't find a solution, so he could only ask Xiao Menglong boredly.

No expectations.

However, the next moment, Xiao Menglong turned his head and glanced at Russell, blowing out two streams of hot air from his nostrils with a very disdainful expression.

then.

Turning his head, he pointed at the trunk of the birch tree, opened his mouth with fine dragon teeth, and huffed out a breath of dragon breath that was thinner than smoke.

A magical scene happened.

The extremely dim light of the birch tree, blessed by the dragon's breath, seemed to be alive and warm. And with the rhythm of breathing, the light flashes brightly and darkly, and every time it flashes, the brightness will increase a little.

"Quack!" After doing this, Xiao Menglong turned his head back again and tilted his head at Russell.

Although Russell couldn't be sure what exactly Xiao Menglong's dragon breath did to the birch tree, and how it stimulated the magic in it. But this did not prevent him from guessing that this dragon's breath definitely played a vital role in the gestation of elf bugs.

"Well done, ice cream!" He rubbed little Menglong's big head vigorously.

"Gah!"

Little Menglong shook his head, then knocked Russell down, then flapped his wings and left Russell's side.

It's tired.

"Just a breath of dragon's breath..." Russell only had time to think of half a thought, and then his consciousness dimmed and he fell into chaos.

……

Whoa whoa!
The big rooster in the serf's house in the distance crows loudly.

Russell in the tent stretched out his arms from his sleeping bag and stretched out comfortably to welcome the wonderful morning.

"Ever since I got ice cream, I haven't had trouble sleeping a day." He took out the pocket watch he carried with him from under the pillow of his sleeping bag and looked at the time. It was now six-thirty in the morning.

Open the tent flap.

The sun has been shining evenly on the birch forest. Jack, the knight's servant who was somewhat confused, was leaning against a birch tree, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice. He suddenly woke up when he heard some movement.

"Ah, my lord."

"Go to the manor's courtyard to wash your face, have some breakfast, and then have a good sleep." Russell expanded his chest and ordered.

"I'm not sleepy." Jack told lies with his red eyes open.

Russell just repeated lightly: "Go."

Jack bowed and excused himself: "No!"

Russell was left alone to observe carefully around the birch tree. Because the part where the elf is born is more than three meters away, he couldn't see anything clearly when standing under the tree, but he had a strong feeling that this birch elf insect would definitely succeed. gestate.

"The fourth elf bug, I didn't expect there would be a fourth elf bug so soon!" After looking up for a while, Russell's heart grew hotter and hotter.

This was only his second night staying at the Black-loisted Snake Manor.

If he camped in a different place every night and opened dark dreams in different locations, would it mean that all possible wild elves in the entire territory could be conceived by asking the little dream dragon to breathe dragon breath, and then be successfully conceived.

"Thumbs up!"

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became.

Until Butler Morris came with two male and female servants to bring him toiletries and breakfast.

"Master, do you want to continue to guard here?"

"I plan to watch Cordyceps." Russell responded casually. He had the final say on his territory anyway, and there was no need to explain to others what he wanted to do.

Under the service of the servant, I brushed my teeth, washed my face and had a simple breakfast with the clear water of Youguang River.

Afterwards, he made ink marks on the side of the birch tree for a while, making sure that nothing unusual could be seen. Then he handed over the cordyceps to the serf technicians who came over to take care of them, and went to inspect other cordyceps himself.

Both Yujiuhua Cordyceps and Dill Cordyceps have taken root, greedily absorbing the power under the earth.

The serfs who were planting wheat and lentils nearby had already begun to harvest the immature green seedlings under the leadership of the serf stewards.

After harvesting, it’s time to sow yew flowers and dill.

"The weather is getting better day by day, sir. The end of the ice age is the warm season. If you plant the magic potion now, it will grow quickly without delaying the harvest of the potion." Old Hans hunched his back and came closer. Russell's side.

"Have you ever grown a potion?"

"I grew it in the town before. Speaking of which, I, Old Hans, was also a serf technician. Later, I was sent by the Baron to the Black-rumped Snake Manor as the foreman, so I put the potion cultivation aside." Remembering the past, Old Hans unconsciously touched it. Toward the waist.

There hung a pair of pulped pipes.

There are no cigarettes or cigars, so people here either use pipes or chew tobacco leaves if they want to smoke.

Suddenly remembering something, Old Hans quickly hung up the pipe: "I'm sorry, sir, I almost got addicted to smoking."

"It doesn't matter, just smoke if you want." Russell said casually.

He did not think that the serfs smoking in front of him was an act that offended his noble authority, even though he did not like smoking.

I don't like secondhand smoke either.

After all, this is the wilderness, and you can't inhale much second-hand smoke. Moreover, if you have fighting spirit to nourish your body, you won't get lung cancer even if you smoke all day long. Knights with fighting spirit almost never get sick, and fighting spirit is more magical than any panacea.

After all, Old Hans did not dare to light his pipe in front of Russell, but tried his best to please Russell.

While patrolling the field, Russell asked: "Old Hans, you have lived in Black-rumped Snake Manor for so long. What do you think you need to solve first to develop Black-rumped Snake Manor?"
