"General Stelina, doing this is really a waste of resources." Gavin said flattered, "Besides, this is not a part of your castle's defense system, especially when facing the invasion of foreigners like jackals, rather than transforming the entire castle .
It is better to set up a ground building specifically for entertaining foreigners, or set up an outpost fortress directly on the other side of the curtain, which can not only prevent this kind of door-knocking from happening, but also entertain foreign guests. After all, such guests, Most came from the other side of the curtain. "
"Very good suggestion." There was a clear round of applause, and a beautiful and enviable Yaling stood on a tree stand not far away, looking down at them with a smile.
Her body was filled with vitality, which gave Gavin the feeling of early spring when he saw everything come back to life.
No matter in terms of style, appearance, or mature atmosphere, it is far beyond what Stelina can match. Compared with her, the latter is like a budding flower, while the one in front of her is like a ripe peach.
Gavin's extremely rare long green hair was spread down his back, but Gavin didn't feel any sense of disobedience. Instead, he felt like it was the way it should be.
This Yaling noble is the dawn of spring.
"Lord." Stelina bowed and saluted the eladrin.
Gavin also bowed and saluted: "Gavin Nott, I have met the lord, and I have taken the liberty of visiting. Please forgive me. It was just my personal opinion. Please don't be too rude, lord."
Lord Yaling smiled and said: "Your suggestions are very useful to me. Recently, our life has been too comfortable, and we have ignored the threats from the other side of the curtain. If we don't close this curtain, what you said will The proposal to build an outpost fortress is the most suitable, please ask Mr. Gavin to come up and discuss it in detail."
Lord Yaling waved his hand, and the surrounding branches and trunks seemed to come alive, twisting and extending, forming a new staircase that extended from the balcony where she was to Gavin.
This is no longer as simple as wood shaping, but an extraordinary ability to control the forest.
This is the special ability of Dawn of Spring. She has become in tune with the forest and integrated with this place.
Gavin climbed up the steps and stood in front of the other party. This feeling became even stronger, and the vitality emanating from his body seemed to be about to flow out.
"Closing the curtain would be a waste of resources. Every curtain is the most precious gift from nature. It is easy to close, but it is difficult to open it again. I heard that in ancient times, curtains leading to the Fairy Wilderness were everywhere. , in many places, the two sides are indistinguishable from each other, and now, many people have never even heard of the name Fairy Wilderness." Gavin couldn't help but sigh.
Not to mention the curtain leading to the Fairy Wilderness, even the portal is very rare in Faerûn. Even as a legendary warrior, I have never encountered one in my previous life.
Especially when the Arcane Tribulation came, the Magic Network collapsed, and the destructive storm that broke the crystal wall changed the entire world. Faerûn was completely separated from the Fey Wilderness, and various fae figures gradually disappeared in Faerûn.
Compared to Gavin, Lord Elephant felt more deeply and said with deep agreement: "The connection between the material plane and the Fey Wilderness comes from the pulsing synchrony of nature. When one side is transformed or destroyed on a large scale, this pulsation will The coherence will disappear.
The Fairy Wilderness is still the Fairy Wilderness of ancient times, but the material plane has changed for countless generations. Especially today's humans are developing and transforming the material plane at an unprecedented speed. As long as they settle down where they are rooted, they can use Before long, the pulse will disappear, and the Fairy Wilderness will drift further and further away. "
At the end of the sentence, Lord Yaling smiled meaningfully at Gavin and said, "I hope Lord Gavin will not have such regrets when your territory expands and develops."
Gavin patted his chest and said: "Although I didn't grow up among elves, I recognize the development concept of elves harmoniously coexisting with nature. As long as we find the right method, we can develop even if we don't destroy nature. If there is a need to destroy it, we should try our best to minimize the human impact."
These words were not some deceptive words that Gavin came up with on the spur of the moment, but one of his core ideas for future development, because this was the basic premise for his future march into Corsoman.
"Oh?" Gavin's answer obviously aroused the keen interest of the eladrin lord. "Harmonious coexistence? It sounds very beautiful, but it is difficult to do, especially when the population surges. How to solve the food problem? Once To expand the cultivated area, it is inevitable to cut down forests and open up wasteland.”
This problem is an insurmountable political problem that has existed between elves and humans for thousands of years.
When Corsoman's Crowned Ones and humans erected standing stones in the valley, and they coexisted and developed in harmony, it was because the elves took a step back and allowed humans to clear forests to a limited extent in the valley.
As a result, the area of the Corsoman Forest has shrunk by more than half in just over 1,300 years.
"Intensive farming." Gavin replied without hesitation. "Use the least land to feed the largest population."
"What kind of intensive farming method?"
"Select and optimize seeds to increase the average yield of food, soak manure and fertilize to increase the lushness of crops, and most importantly, start friendly cooperation with druids to transform farmland. It is best to establish magic farmland. Once As the grain yield per acre increases, farmers' demand for land is relatively small, so they will naturally stop thinking about forests.
In my opinion, the ideas of many druids are too conservative and too biased. Their mission is not just as simple as guarding the forest. The survival and development of all things is not a part of nature.
Since it is unstoppable, it is better to change the strategy appropriately, which will not only achieve better results, but also satisfy both parties. "
After saying these words, Gavin himself felt slightly surprised. He seemed to have talked a bit too much today.
What should be said and what should not be said are all revealed. This is not his style of keeping everything in reserve.
This is not just as simple as giving this Yaling lord a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze, being friendly and comfortable, and involuntarily putting his mind at ease.
It is estimated that the other party has something else that I don't know, which can unknowingly affect the minds of others and the ability to relax their vigilance towards her.
Lord Yaling didn't seem to notice Gavin's strangeness at all, but was deep in thought, seeming to be considering the feasibility of his plan.
This was the first time she had heard of this argument. It was not shocking, but it did put forward a new idea.
Especially the Druid mentioned by Gavin clearly meant something.
It definitely doesn’t just refer to the Druid profession, but to forest races such as eladrin and elves.
Now that he had said it, Gavin stopped hiding it and asked, "Lord, what do you think is wrong with my thoughts?"
"At first glance, it sounds feasible, at least in a short period of time." Lord Yaling gave some affirmation and then changed the subject, "But in the long run, it does not solve the fundamental problem. High-yield food means that it can Feeding more people will lead to a short-lived race and a population explosion, which in turn will demand more food and more land. When the time comes, the conflict with the forest race will be sharper and more intense. How will you balance it? ?How to solve?"
A long-lived race like the Yaling always considers the long term when considering problems.
Her short period of time, at least fifty to one hundred years, is the lifetime of these human races.
"No plan can be carried out without considering all aspects. Long-term plans always start from short-term plans."
Of course, Gavin could not veto the other party's long-term perspective. "During the implementation, if corrections and adjustments are made, the short-term plan will become a long-term plan. There is indeed a certain causal relationship between the population explosion and food surplus, but it is not inevitable." of.
The development of other intelligent races, wars, plagues, natural disasters, etc., these additional factors may hinder the process of human explosion. Even if that situation does occur, artificial means can be used to suppress the rapid growth of the population. increase. "
"Suppress population?" Not only for the eladrin lords, this is also a brand-new term in Faerûn.
In Faerûn, it’s not too late to encourage procreation.
What's more, he only has less than twenty years to prepare and deal with the catastrophe of arcane magic.
If this catastrophe cannot be withstood, the entire continent of Faerûn will fall apart, and some continents in the plane of Toril and the plane of Eberron will have their positions reversed.
Compared with this devastating disaster, the natural problems caused by the population explosion are just drizzle.
"This is indeed a solution." Lord Yaling thought thoughtfully, "I am very much looking forward to the growth of you and your territory."
"I think the lord will have the opportunity to see it." Gavin took advantage of the opportunity and said, "If the lord really wants to build an outpost fortress on the other side of the curtain, my people may be able to provide manpower assistance. .”
All long-lived races are not good at population.
The Yaling Castle in front of you looks majestic and large in scale.
Along the way, Gavin saw a small number of elegans. If he tried hard enough, a thousand of them would be enough to kill him.
Their method of shaping trees into forts is definitely not easy to use on the rocky side, and it also takes a long time.
The Yaling Castle in front of you is at least several centuries old, or even older.
"I will consider this matter carefully." Lord Yaling did not give an immediate reply, "I have sent people to prepare a banquet. Two distinguished guests, please come inside."
Yaling's banquet hall.
Just like their castle, it combines grandeur, beauty and splendor.
The entire hall is formed by dozens of giant trees, arched and entangled, and countless vines are entangled to form an airtight wall.
The most important thing is that these trees and vines are still alive, and some have green branches stretched out. After careful pruning, no, more accurately, they have grown into various unique shapes, just like indoor potted plants.
The tables and chairs are no exception. They are all made from the protrusions of the giant tree itself - of course the giant tree itself will not grow like this. If the druid's wood shaping technique intervenes, it will be fine.
When the surrounding vines stretched out to bring all kinds of fruits and vegetables, everything seemed so natural.
Ya Ling's meals are mainly vegetarian, and they are all ecological. Most of them are served directly without being cut.
Gavin can still accept eating apples, grapes, honeydew melons and other fruits like this.
Gavin can also digest vegetables such as carrots, tomatoes, vine melons, and radishes by doing this.
But when peppers, cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli were served like this, Gavin couldn't bear it.
Fortunately, the Yaling Lord also knows that their diet structure is difficult for outsiders to accept, especially when there is a young dragon.
Special food was prepared for Gavin and Ivinsa.
Gavin is a plate of green salad and a plate of grilled meat.
This is a roasted lamb from Ivinsa.
Even cooked food is the simplest barbecue.
The forest race has never been known for eating, and this has reached an extreme in the eladrin.
But Gavin did not touch the vegetable salad and barbecue in front of him. Instead, he tasted the fruits and vegetables on the table next to each other.
Every time I taste something, my eyes light up.
These fruits and vegetables were the best he had ever eaten in his life. They looked and tasted the best, including cabbage and cauliflower, which seemed hard to eat raw. They were also plump and slightly sweet, making them very suitable for eating raw.
There is no doubt that they are not born this way, but are cultivated through careful breeding.
Previously, he talked about screening seeds in front of the eladrin lord, which was obviously a trick. People feed on this and are rich in druids. How could they not breed?
The breeding step is simply omitted. Just introduce seeds directly from them.
The Eldest Spirits present didn't know Gavin's purpose, and thought he respected their eating habits, so they looked at him with a bit more favorable impression.
Lord Yaling smiled and said to Gavin: "In order to thank you for your help, I have prepared a small gift for the two distinguished guests. I also ask the two distinguished guests to accept it."
You are a genius, remember in one second: Red Oasis:
