1208 Planting Area

The terrain is getting higher and higher, and the oxygen contained in the air is getting thinner and thinner. However, as the Tower Land gradually approaches, Raymond, who has been observing the outside world, can determine that the free energy inside the Tower Land is The richness must be astonishingly high.

The roads that gradually converged from other directions turned into a road paved with stone slabs of different shapes. However, the heavy body of the beast cart could not leave any traces of ruts after running over them.

Because these roads leading to the land of high towers are paved with huge rocks weighing hundreds of tons, and each rock is smashed into the ground, up to several meters deep.

The middle-aged wizard who came here to escort the supplies his family was about to hand over was named Kelide. He seemed to be bold but he had extremely careful observation and detailed insight. His cousin Gavin was a high-ranking scholar. A low-level deacon in the Supreme Council of Tower Land. Although his rank is not high, he is very popular, so Kelide has made up his mind to join him this time.

The news he learned from Kelide in the past two days was not very fruitful for Raymond, because Kelide himself lived in his hometown all year round, even if he went to the Tower Land every few years. , but the actual situation in the Land of Towers still remains in hearsay and many scattered and one-sided memories.

But even so, the information obtained from Kelide was enough to make the appearance of the Tower Land outlined in Raymond's mind become clearer.

Located on the plateau, in the center are sixteen giant wizard towers known as the 'Towers of Babel'. Outside are hundreds of slightly smaller wizard towers, and further outward are seventy towers. There are many large and small towns, as well as huge planting areas.

It is said that there are tens of millions of ordinary humans and hundreds of thousands of wizards in the entire Tower Land.

Such a huge number of wizards seemed incredible to Raymond. Because each wizard requires a lot of resources, and each wizard also needs to have his own safe area, he has no way of imagining the scene of many wizards huddled together for meditation.

But the doubts in his heart were not expressed. Raymond, who was sitting in the carriage, believed that as long as he arrived, all his questions would be reasonably explained.

Because everything here was created over thousands of years, the issue of population density will not pose a huge problem.

So when the team entered the planting area of ​​the Land of Towers, Raymond got out of the carriage and rode the green wildebeest along with Collide to observe.

The plateau will be covered with light mist at night, everything before dawn will appear hazy, and there will be teams walking on the main road in the town. You are asked to slow down before entering to avoid disturbing the rest of local residents.

Raymond, who was at the front of the team, noticed the presence of a large number of residents in the houses on both sides of the avenue. However, the town with only a few knights stationed here was surprisingly quiet.

Kelide was accompanying him. But he explained with a smile. "Lord Raymond, these small towns outside the Land of Towers are not large in size. The residents' daily work is farming. It's just because the planting areas are far away, so it seems extremely hard..."

Without alerting anyone or encountering any obstruction or inspection, the slowed-down team picked up speed again after leaving the town, speeding along the solid road.

A land of towers with countless roads and countless villages dotted around it. But the area that ordinary humans were responsible for and the crops they planted quickly made Raymond feel incredible.

Because there are no food crops grown on the land here, but plant resources that can be used by wizards.

Farmers working hard in the fields need to walk long distances to reach them. What is used for watering is a culture solution with energy fluctuations, and the fertilizers applied are also kept and distributed by dedicated personnel.

Raymond was deeply shocked by the large-scale planting and cultivation of plant resources needed by the wizard class, because as the team continued to advance, he saw many medium-quality plants that were older than thirty or fifty years. However, there are some knights patrolling such planting areas, and outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering, and early picking is absolutely not allowed.

Such a large number of plant resources were cultivated by ordinary farmers, which made Raymond very curious, so with the help of Kelide, Raymond came to a planting area for inspection.

A kind of poppy grass suitable for low-level wizards to use when they are promoted. It is planted all over the entire hillside. Each poppy grass grows extremely luxuriantly, but even if the distance between each poppy grass is quite large, But after a little calculation, the total output is enough to be used by thousands of low-level wizards.

The guards stationed in this area were very enthusiastic after accepting Kelide's benefits. They thought that Raymond was a foreign wizard who was invited to the Supreme Council, so they diligently sent the training sent to him that day. Liquid and fertilizer were delivered to him and he was introduced in detail.

The culture solution contained in the waterwheel is carefully prepared by a department under the Supreme Council, which can make the cultivated plants grow faster.

The special fertilizers applied by farmers to the fields are also processed and provided by several wizard towers designated by the Supreme Council. These resources, which are cultivated like food crops, can mature and bear fruit earlier, so that the scale and density of planting can be further expanded.

"This method of inducing growth developed by the Supreme Council has only been widely used ten years ago. It is said that the materials needed to configure these fertilizers and culture solutions are quite precious..."

The fertilizers and culture solutions in front of them all contain a strong wood attribute. Raymond, who was originally familiar with wood attribute magic, was not surprised that the cultivated poppy grass grew so vigorously, but it was too strange that such a cultivation method could make its seeds have the ability to reproduce again.

Raymond, who studied under the wizard academy of Hongze Wetland, could not continue to plant the seeds of the plants he had mastered. He had tried and improved these methods over the years, but even if any plant could produce fruit after being stimulated, it could not be grown again or planted normally.

Powdered fertilizer and culture fluid with a faint fishy smell could cause such a subversive reversal of the characteristics of the plant growth method?

No matter how hard he tried, he could not figure out the mystery, but such fertilizers and culture fluids were not strictly controlled in the high tower, so after realizing that he had a strong interest in these things, Ke Lide naturally took a lot of them for him.

There was no suitable place around him, and there was no corresponding equipment for research, so after collecting these things, Raymond continued to follow Ke Lide on the road and headed towards the central area of ​​the high tower.

The outermost area of ​​the vast high tower was the planting area directly governed by the Supreme Council.

After passing through these planting areas, the team entered the outer perimeter of the real tower land.

A tall wall surrounded by sharp thorns separated the inside and outside. There was a portal for entry at a long distance, but there were only a few guards here. However, this was the first checkpoint seen by outsiders, and it was also the place where ordinary people without passes stopped.

Because going forward, it was the area occupied by the wizard class and permanent residents. Ordinary people who wanted to enter must have a record of farming in those planting areas for more than 20 years before they were granted the corresponding documents to allow entry and exit.

Because there were fewer entrance passages, the teams gathered from all directions needed to undergo corresponding inspections when they arrived here. Raymond, sitting on the blue wildebeest, looked at the teams waiting to enter the tower land from all over the place, and returned to his carriage with some interest... (To be continued...)
