It was the fifth day of January in the year 840 of the Nese calendar.
The huge cyclone that originally hovered looming in the northern sky began to become smaller and lighter today, and it was in places where ordinary people could not see it.
In the cloud-top palace, which is always held up by the wind lord Rohasi, Shado and Tarafu sit opposite each other. Now that the water vapor migration plan is completed, Tarafu will return to Calimshan.
After receiving the news, Xia Duo came here to see him off. Of course, he also took the opportunity to test the Mairead family's attitude towards elemental breeding technology.
"This is our farewell, and I don't know when we will meet again next time. Tarafu, my friend, I would like to toast you and wish you a smooth journey back."
Tarafu has the blood of the wind element, and the blessing of a safe journey is perfect for him. Shado picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. The wine from Calimshan was not as soft as the elven fruit wine at all, but full of the flavor of the desert. It has a wild scent and is extremely strong, no less than the distilled wine that Shado once made to seek help from the dwarves.
Xia Duo has always disliked drinking strong alcohol. Although with his current physical condition, one or two bottles is not a problem, but it is strong alcohol after all, and drinking too much will make you drunk.
As a spellcaster and a leader of a place, he would not easily let himself fall into a state of being unable to control himself.
But at this moment, drinking the "Wind of Freedom" spirit from Calimshan also made him feel a smooth feeling that he had never experienced before, as if he had transformed into a ray of wind of freedom in the boundless desert. Wanton and arrogant.
"Lord Xia Duo, no, Xia Duo, my friend, I would like to toast you too. I believe we will meet again soon. I hope that when we meet again, we can still drink together like today."
At the end of the story, Tarafu couldn't help but get emotional. As the second son in the family, his inheritance ranking was even behind some of his uncles, so he was almost naturally excluded from the center of power.
He even had his only chance abroad. Now Xia Duo's attitude is undoubtedly the best reward for his hard work during this period. I believe that even his grandfather would look down upon him if he knew about it.
For him now, even if it is not from a utilitarian point of view, he will try his best to maintain this relationship with a friend who he does not reject in all aspects.
Before leaving, Tarafu repeatedly promised Xia Duo, "I will persuade my grandfather to agree to the soul trade and the introduction of elemental ranches. Even if they refuse due to serious considerations, I will find a way to find a breakthrough from other families. "
"You don't have to force it. You can't have conflicts with your family just because of my little experiment. If there is no other way, I will personally go to Kalimshan to visit Fahd Grand Vizier. Kalimshan wants to establish diplomatic relations with the countries in the North. I can also say a few words, so considering this, the Grand Vizier won’t make things too difficult for me.”
…
Watching the Wind Lord go away, Xia Duo's emotions ignited by the strong wine gradually calmed down. In the conversation with Tarafu just now, he inquired about the approximate energy production capacity of the Mairead family and some basic information about the Element Ranch. Condition.
It can be said bluntly that the Mairead family alone may not be able to supply the almost endless demand for elemental spirits in the future, and even the entire Kalishan may not be able to supply it.
As for the Elemental Ranch, it was not as simple as he had imagined at the beginning. Regardless of whether it could be introduced, even if it could be introduced, operating it would not be easy.
There are two biggest difficulties in this. One is the obedient elemental elders. It is impossible for humans to herd elements all the time. Even if it is feasible in a short time, various problems will easily occur within a short period of time.
This is Calimshan's experience accumulated over countless years, which is to let the elemental elders, or better yet, the elemental lords do it, but the elemental creatures have already developed considerable wisdom at the level of the elemental elders.
This is Calimshan's experience accumulated over countless years, which is to let the elemental elders, or better yet, the elemental lords do it, but the elemental creatures have already developed considerable wisdom at the level of the elemental elders.
Letting elemental elders herd elements is like letting human mages breed humans. It is difficult to convince intelligent creatures to do such things, even if they are breeding unintelligent individuals.
What's even more troublesome is that the elemental elders can only herd elemental creatures of the same attribute, which adds to the difficulty.
Another difficulty is the elemental plane. If you want to breed elemental creatures with any attributes, you need the corresponding elemental plane. Xia Duo currently has two planes that can be used for breeding. One is the wind element where the Gale Fortress presented by the Mairead family is located. plane.
One is the [Blue Crystal Plane]. The water element in this plane is extremely compatible, so raising some water elements is not a problem.
If you don't consider the problem of harvesting, you can also stock them in an environment with more corresponding elements, such as stocking wind elements in high altitudes, water elements in seas and lakes, and soil elements underground.
However, these environments naturally exist or are prone to passages connecting the elemental planes. If you are not careful, you will lose everything, so the best breeding environment is still in the elemental planes.
[Blue Crystal Plane] Strictly speaking, it is still a little bit behind, because it is already considered a complete material plane, but certain elements have higher compatibility.
Generally speaking, the elemental plane is an intermediate state between the concept of elements and the material plane. It can also be considered as the creation stage of some material planes with extreme attributes.
For the plane, this state can last for a very short time, but for humans, it is almost impossible to see the materialization of an elemental plane in another lifetime.
If Shado decided to breed elemental creatures, it would be best to use the wind element plane. It happened that Calimshan was also the best at breeding wind elements.
…
Although the elemental elders and elemental planes are the two most important elements of the elemental ranch, as long as they are collected together, it is possible to start the path of elemental farming, but this is just the beginning.
Elemental creatures have extremely long lifespans. It can be imagined that if they are bred normally, it will take a lot of time to grow them from germination to a state where they can harvest their essence!
Breeding and breeding, of course, require the help of feed. Elemental creatures eat different things from flesh-and-blood creatures. They need to eat energy-rich elemental gems.
Elemental creatures with certain attributes eat gems of the corresponding element. The more they eat, the faster they grow.
So this involves Calimshan's unique technology - the elemental tower, which is specially used to produce elemental gems. This is actually not a big threshold for Shado. The elemental pool in the mage tower can also be used to produce elemental gems. .
But the problem is that Calimshan's past accumulation is too deep. If the Tower of Time can only produce ten elemental gems every year, then the number of gems Calimshan produces in a year can be counted in at least tens of thousands.
It's too late to build a special elemental tower now. Fortunately, Shado still has a way to overtake in a corner, and that is Mythra - using arcane crystals to create elemental gems.
Calimshan is located in the south and has been cultivating the elemental field for countless years. The Mairead family can use arcane crystals to create elemental gems. Other families with elemental lords have always had this ability. (End of chapter)
