Chapter 2792 Everspring Sacred Tree
"The practice base and agronomy research institute of the Far East Agricultural College are there, surrounded by the college's experimental field, Dr. Vader, you can build a laboratory dedicated to the study of ergot bacteria there in the future, as for your scientific research assistant..." Valentina looked at Joan with a smile, "Is ten enough?"
"Excuse me, my dear lady, in fact..."
Joan originally wanted to say that he could handle it all by himself, but when the words came to his lips, he had an idea and changed his words:
"Actually, among the international students who came here by airship for an internship this time, there is a classmate named Kandy who looks very clever. Let her help me raise mice."
"Okay! I'll talk to Kandy about this later. That kid is quite sensible, so I won't lose face to you, a university student."
said Valentina cheerfully.
Roland turned around and gave Joan a weird look, and said to Ms. Jinlong in a low voice: "Don't talk too much, if I were Kandy's younger sister, I wouldn't want to work for the guy who won eight games of chess in one hour. ! Varyusha, have you ever seen such a cruel person?"
Ms. Jinlong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, he turned back to Joan and said with emotion: "Dr. Vader, you and Roland have completely different personalities. It's hard to imagine that the two of you will become good friends."
"Variusa, I don't agree with that! In fact, two people with very different personalities are often easier to get along with than people with similar personalities. They are like magnets, which have the same polarity but repel each other." Roland said with a smile.
Qiao An couldn't help but want to complain that His Majesty the Emperor is fooling around again. It is a very irresponsible practice to use natural laws to describe interpersonal relationships. What is the meaning of analogies with different dimensions?
Fortunately, the well-developed emotional intelligence stopped this unsightly impulse in time.
The three of them chatted while walking, and they came to the big green oak tree not long after.
After getting closer and observing carefully, Qiao An confirmed that this big tree did have its own "perpetual spring enchantment", which made the climate within a few miles around it warm like spring, but unfortunately it was not given the "enlightenment technique", and it had no mind and mobility , which is equivalent to the shrunken version of the ancient tree of Ilminthul.
"This 'Sacred Everspring Tree' can change the surrounding climate. The local villagers say that this big tree is a magical weapon, but it is not that exaggerated."
Roland revealed the secret of the ancient tree to Joan.
"The Everspring Sacred Tree was originally just a small sapling. After being blessed with the legendary magic 'Heart of Nature' by Varyusha, it grew rapidly and finally evolved into what it is now."
"'Heart of Nature'... Doesn't this legendary magic have an enlightenment effect?" Joan asked.
"Actually, there are, but I deliberately didn't enlighten the big oak tree."
Ms. Jinlong replied with a wry smile.
""oh? Are you worried that after the enlightenment, the big tree has its own ideas, and you will be impatient to take root here and want to go out and see the outside world? "Joan guessed.
Valentina shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands: "Dr. Vader, you guessed it right! I created a total of four holy everspring trees in the 'Land of Green Fields'. The three big trees ran out to play before. They said they would be back soon, but so far not even one has come home.”
"Can't you stop them from leaving?" Joan then asked, "Such as using spells to manipulate plants?"
"It's possible, but I can't bear it."
Ms. Jinlong sighed.
"Dr. Vida, you may wish to imagine, if your children really want to go out for a walk, can you harden your heart and keep them locked at home?"
"That's true."
After all, Qiao An is also a person who has raised a daughter, and she is deeply touched by Ms. Valentina's helpless mood. She has already run away three "naughty people", so it is no wonder that she finally created a mindless everspring tree .
Walking into Valentina's courtyard, Joan immediately felt a sense of déjà vu.
The flowers and plants growing randomly in the courtyard, the simple but chic wooden furniture in the house, and the fresh and natural atmosphere all reminded him of Liyanan's residence.
It's just that Valentina's house is more spacious than Lianan's. However, considering the huge difference in size between the golden dragon and the goblin, the difference in residential space is not so obvious.
After entering the house, Valentina invited the two visitors to sit down and drink tea, and said with a smile that she would not accompany her for the time being, and went to the back kitchen to prepare lunch.
Through the kitchen window, the smell of stewed rabbit meat wafted quietly, and Joan couldn't help swallowing.
When he was young, Joan thought all druids were vegetarians.
It wasn't until I got acquainted with Candy and witnessed the heroic appearance of this girl's mouth full of meat that I realized how naive I was.
It is not uncommon for druids to practice vegetarianism, but they belong to a relatively conservative faction. Most druids do not reject meaty food, but they will pay attention to some principles when hunting wild animals and slaughtering livestock.
For example, unless it is absolutely necessary, they will not take the initiative to hunt and kill wild animals that are harmless to humans, try not to kill endangered animals, and try to release pregnant mothers and cubs as much as possible.
For populations with more females and fewer males, try not to kill males who have dedicated their lives to many females and shoulder the heavy responsibility of inheriting the family, such as male lions in a lion group.
These principles are not absolute. Druids will not be lenient in killing wild beasts whose populations are expanding rapidly to the point of seriously destroying the ecological balance.
For example, this season is the breeding season of hares. Regardless of the cute appearance of rabbits, they seem to be quite obedient. If they become flooded, they will do far more harm to farmland and pastures than beasts such as bears, wolves, and wild boars.
Recently, the number one enemy of the "Land of Green Fields" has been the hares with super fecundity, burrowing crazily, and eating crops. Even the experimental fields for cultivating improved varieties have been repeatedly invaded by hare armies, causing great losses.
At this time of crisis, it is everyone's responsibility to curb the rabbit plague. If the druids don't kill wild rabbits and eat roasted rabbit legs and stewed rabbit meat, they are not loyal environmental protection fighters and are not worthy of "children of nature" reputation.
Of course, Joan knew that the most basic quality of a well-bred gentleman and a decent person in a social arena is to keep his mouth shut. Don't talk nonsense when you shouldn't say it, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask about it.
However, while waiting for the lunch to be served, he couldn't hold back his curious urge to scratch his heart. In the end, he couldn't control his mouth. While Valentina was busy in the kitchen, he asked Roland about it. He knew Unaware that her confidante is actually a fire-breathing dragon.
"It goes without saying that when I first met Varyusha many years ago, I knew she was a golden dragon living in human society." Roland admitted Joan's guess with a smile.
Not long after, Valentina brought the stewed rabbit meat in a large casserole to the table, and had lunch with Joan and Roland.
During the meal, Roland mentioned that the young mage was very curious about her origin, and Valentina didn't mind about it, and she took the initiative to reveal to Joan that she was not a golden dragon native to the world of Vales, but a member of the five major metal dragon families The common sanctuary "Paradise Island".
