Yin Lian spread his hands to show his innocence.
But the Black Sage was not so easily deceived and said, "Show me all the space equipment."
Yin Lian said: "Teacher, my clothes and some private items are also in the space equipment."
The Black Sage was choked by her and cursed: "King Ark's whip!"
This sentence the Black Sage said is pronounced in ancient mainland Chinese and is also a common saying. Yin Lian can help translate it.
It probably means "fuck", just a polite version.
But despite this, he agreed that Yin Lian was a girl. In the end, he didn't insist on checking Yin Lian's space equipment, but his face kept smelling bad.
He went back to wash his face, and then came back and said: "The stone and wood for building the temple have been prepared for you. It depends on you how to build it. I will prepare two teams of mages who are good at civil arts for you. , go back and arrange the work yourself...I hope my decision is not wrong."
My face still smells bad.
Yin Lian knew she couldn't provoke him at this time, so she obediently agreed.
As a result, the Black Sage paused and said, "Don't let me find out who you teleported or rumors about me are spread outside, otherwise I will let you know the consequences."
No, don't worry. She just took a photo as a souvenir.
Yin Lian readily agreed again.
The Black Sage narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a long time, but there was no hint of guilt in Yin Lian's expression. But the Black Sage is not completely reassured - he will not forget that his disciple is a young girl with a good psychological quality.
The Black Sage is a very trustworthy person, and the little magic stick Yin Lian successfully got her first opportunity in the City of Sages.
She wants to build a temple belonging to the Lady of Fertility in this magical city. This matter is extremely meaningful to both her and the Black Sage. Although Lady Fertility is just a very inconspicuous God of the Wilderness, not even on the theogony, as long as Yin Lian is powerful enough, she will become a representative of the pantheon that cooperates with the Magic Association.
The significance of this is great.
Maybe the temple will feel that "there is a traitor among us", but for Yin Lian, her status is protected by the Magic Association, and for the Black Sage, it is equivalent to releasing the whole continent. A signal was sent out - magicians and divine messengers are not incompatible.
This may not affect the old diehards in the church, but the commoners and nobles may have different ideas.
Of course, this premise is that Yin Lian can make Ms. Fengfeo exert a large enough influence.
And Yin Lian will never let the Black Sage disappoint her.
Because it was already early spring and it was almost time to sow seeds, Yin Lian asked the mage in the city to summon the farmers under his rule while he began to design the structure of the temple.
The style of the temple often affects people's style of the gods, so appropriate design is very necessary. Lady Fertility is a very rural goddess. Although she is believed by farmers, she has no roots and no temple of her own.
This allows Yin Lian to act very freely.
In fact, not only the temple, but also the statue of Yin Lian can be used to its fullest extent.
After much thought, Yin Lian designed the temple into a grand-roofed building like a church - it was built by a mage anyway. As long as you pay a little attention to the mechanical structure and supporting columns, it is impossible not to build it. As for the decoration, she chose green and yellow as the main colors of the wall paintings - these two colors work together to give people a gentle and healing feeling, which is exactly in line with the feeling of Ms. Fenfu.
Then there are the idols.
Yin Lian stared blankly at the paper for a long time, then suddenly picked up a pen and started drawing. She drew a realistic sketch on the paper. She looked like a plump woman with a gentle smile. If you look closely, she looked a bit like Mrs. Yin who had grown half the size.
Mrs. Yin herself is relatively thin, but she still looks good even if she is a little fatter. Of course, it is also possible that Yin Lian deliberately painted her to look beautiful.
Since Ms. Fertility is named after abundance, she must be a little plumper. Beyond that, what kind of image should she look like? Yin Lian thought about it carefully and found that the image closest to Lady Fertility in her heart should be the Harvest Goddess, also the Earth Goddess.
And what kind of image does the earth goddess generally look like?
She should be a mother, because the earth is the mother of all things - Yin Lian added a baby to her arms. In Yin Lian's imagination, this baby was not the child of Ms. Fengfao, but the child she sent for the believers... This gave Ms. Fengfao the function of Mother Earth Nuwa giving birth to a child.
Then she added a sketch of a statue on either side of Lady Fertility, a boy and a girl who only reached Lady Fertility's waist. The girl on the left is holding a large bouquet of flowers and looks compassionate. The boy on the right is carrying a large fruit basket. He looks a bit like Yin Changsheng or Yin Changning.
Flowers are spring and fruits are autumn.
Yin Lian spent some time deleting, modifying, and finally redrawing the designed statue shape neatly onto another drawing.
After the Black Sage saw the finally constructed statue, his expression was rather strange. This was really the first time he saw someone build a statue of himself.
This girl is really thick-skinned.
When the statue was finally built, Ms. Fertile looked very tall and big, at least two meters tall. The two children beside him were of normal size and only a little shorter than Yin Lian.
Yin Lian did not build them exactly in his own image. In fact, with the technology of the Sage City and the short completion time, it would be difficult for these statues to be carved exactly the same and perfectly.
However, in terms of image, we can still see some similarities.
After the statue was built, the Black Sage pointed to the boy on the right and asked, "Who is this?"
Yin Lian replied: "My brother."
The Black Sage narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that your brother has never been here before?"
Yin Lian knew what he wanted to ask, so he deliberately misled: "He is not in this world."
This answer can be interpreted in many ways. After hearing this, the Black Sage came to his own understanding and did not continue to ask further questions.
While the temple was under construction, Yin Lian himself was not idle either. Although she prepared various plant seeds, she had no intention of taking them out in one go. After all, many of the things she brought were of a preventive nature, and at this time, there were only two types of plants that Yin Lian was ready to promote, one was sweet potato and the other was potato.
These two are often used as food promotion by time-travelers in novels. It is said that the yield per mu can reach thousands of kilograms, and they are the most suitable props to be used to show the miracle of the fertility lady.
In the land where the City of Sages is located, people's staple food is a starchy fruit that grows on trees. When translated into Chinese, its meaning is probably close to "breadfruit." This fruit contains very dry starch with very little water and cannot be eaten directly. Local people usually dry them and grind them into powder, which is a material similar to flour.
The thick bread made with this kind of breadfruit is actually not very delicious. It has a rough texture and an astringent taste. But after you get used to it, it doesn't feel the same.
Yin Lian has recently read a lot of books on agricultural technology, and has discovered that the agricultural technology in this world is really too poor.
Staple food grows on trees, which has advantages and disadvantages. Woody plants are actually tougher and easier to take care of than herbaceous plants. Regardless of drought or flood, trees have stronger vitality than grass growing on the ground, have better cold and drought tolerance, and often do not require farmers to take too careful care.
But at the same time, extensive planting techniques have also led to poor technological development in agriculture. Because there is rarely a time when there is no food to grow at all, farmers rarely feel nervous. Moreover, farmers in Marcel Continent are never just pure farmers. They often also perform livestock husbandry, horse breeding and other duties.
Last year, Yin Lian taught farmers in the City of Sages some skills in caring for trees, such as pruning, pollination, and cold resistance. However, at that time, she was completely ignorant of more professional technologies, and the so-called knowledge she was taught was only theoretical common sense. However, this time she came well prepared. Just on fruit tree pruning, she collected information on various periods and situations - shaped pruning, temporary pruning, different pruning methods of different types of fruit trees and Space reservation... Although it has not been actually practiced, the theoretical collection is comprehensive.
And after learning this information, Yin Lian became more and more interested in the bread tree from the Matir continent. In fact, in her opinion, this kind of tree is really a crop that has advantages over wheat, rice, potatoes and sweet potatoes - it has a tree shape, does not require much care, is cold and drought tolerant, and has a high yield.
If the seedlings could be introduced back to the earth, maybe there would be some kind of effect.
Maybe there could be another type of food on earth that is high-yielding and has a wide range of uses. Moreover, in Yin Lian's opinion, the breadfruit trees in Mathil are not cultivated to the best condition now, and even the way of eating them is a bit rough and monotonous. If it can be cultivated on earth, her compatriots must have a way to cultivate it better and make it shine with more brilliance.
But this idea can only be thought about for now.
Rather than introducing breadfruit trees, what is more important for Yin Lian at this time is to popularize two major food varieties in the capital of sages and use this to spread his prestige.
In the days that followed, she practiced magic and walked around. She has a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes on hand, and they can be cultivated and grown as long as they have tubers, which is very convenient. Yin Lian asked a familiar mage to send a few farmers to follow her, and then taught them how to cultivate and sprout the two kinds of rhizomes.
After they sprouted, Yin Lian distributed the tubers. After briefly teaching them some key points of planting, he let them take them and plant them themselves.
Both of these plants do not require too detailed care, and are generally more suitable for farmers in the Matir continent who are accustomed to extensive planting.
This process went quite smoothly.
However, on the third day of distributing seeds, a female mage suddenly walked towards her and shouted to everyone: "Don't touch those potatoes! What she gave out is poisonous!"
"I have farmers
