Chapter 497 [0492] The Guardian Is in Action

After the spring speech, Fosbyro seemed like a giant beast that had ended its hibernation and officially began to move.

Although Lux outlined a beautiful future for Fosbyro in the spring speech, for every Fosbyro person, at least this spring, except for an additional activity called "going to the lake for an outing", there were not many changes in life.

However, in places that ordinary people cannot see, Fosbyro has indeed undergone many interesting changes.

For example, at the request of Granny Nadine, the first group of herbalists who entered the Dragon Ridge Mountains, the initial collection team, had several more lawbearers and several soldiers responsible for "protecting the safety of lawbearers".

The addition of these people made this initial collection team, which was responsible for leading the way for all herbalists and exploring the growth of overwintering plants this year, look a little bloated.

However, with Granny Nadine speaking up, and the supplies of these lawbearers and soldiers were all carried by themselves, the members of the initial collection team would not say much. At most, they looked at these lawbearers and soldiers with curiosity, and privately doubted whether these guys could keep up with their pace.

This is not malicious speculation, nor is it a lack of trust in the excellent physical fitness of Demacia soldiers. It is mainly because the snow-capped mountains of the Dragon Ridge Mountains have always been steep, and in order to find out the growth of overwintering plants and determine the best time to pick them, the first-time harvesting team often has to cross mountains and even climb ice walls with ropes and ice picks.

People who have not received professional training really cannot do it as smoothly as the first-time harvesting team - even ordinary herbalists cannot keep up with the pace of the first-time harvesting team!

However, Fukulin, who traveled with the team, was very confident.

As the first group of archers who knew about the existence of Karya, the youngest Fukulin was the most core person among the archers in the team.

That's right, Fukulin is now Lux's junior sister. After returning from Freljord, Karya combined the performance of the archers and formed a private magic training class to train those archers he was very optimistic about. In the 77th group, Fukulin was quite liked by Karya because of her special talent.

How much does Karya like this little girl who can naturally catalyze the growth and decline of plants?

His attitude when teaching Fukuilin made Lux feel so envious that she wanted to cry. Unlike the extreme strictness when facing "combatants" like Lux and Ino, Karya's patience is amazing for a scholar-type mage with amazing talent like Fukuilin.

Karya, who has always been a strict teacher, is so kind when facing Fukuilin that people can smack their lips. As long as Fukuilin has some achievements and can draw inferences from one example, Karya's encouragement and praise will be in place.

According to Karya, researchers are all treasures. They are the ones who will truly bring about technological progress and must be given super-standard respect.

Of course, super-standard treatment also means that Fukuilin has to take responsibility. For example, this exploration mission - entering the Dragon Ridge Mountains when the ice and snow have not yet melted, and exploring the growth conditions and status of plants on the cliffs, is obviously an extremely difficult challenge for her.

As a girl who spent three years in the Forbidden Magic Prison, Fukuilin was very weak. Even after completing the Dragon Ridge Larch transplantation experiment and recuperating for a whole winter, she still looked sick.

In order to ensure the safety of her junior sister, Lux contributed the leather vest and breeches she received on her fourteenth birthday. This set of clothes is said to be made of sea dragon skin and the price is quite amazing.

In addition, in order to ensure that Fukuilin would not get sick due to natural conditions, among the Archers accompanying the team, there is a fire elemental mage who serves as a human furnace and an ice elemental mage who is responsible for road cleaning and pure water supply.

One third of the Archers in this team are simply Fukuilin's "exclusive logistics personnel" and must ensure her safety on this trip!

The Archers accompanying her also like this timid girl very much. As the youngest Archer, everyone is willing to take care of Fukuilin.

Just like that, after everything was ready, the guardians, soldiers and the first-time harvesting team assembled and left Fosbyro, heading towards the snow-capped Dragon Ridge Mountains to begin exploring the growth of plants in the north this year.

……………………

Walking in the center of the team, Fuquelin looked eagerly at the plants covered with snow on both sides of the path.

As a natural plant mage, she has a natural curiosity and longing for plants, but unfortunately, when they set out, Nadinson, the captain of the first-time harvesting team and the leader of the team, repeatedly emphasized that in order to avoid delaying the exploration time and affecting this year's harvest, the team must move forward according to the itinerary plan and not waste time.

"We will leave you six hours of exploration time at each exploration point, but that is based on the premise that you don't waste time on the road." The serious Nadinson looked businesslike, "I don't understand your work, and you don't understand mine, so we shouldn't point fingers at each other, and it's best to cooperate with each other."

In this case, even though Fuquelin was full of curiosity about these plants that she had never seen before, she could only watch with eager eyes.

Then, when her eyes fell on a tree with white bark that she had never seen before, Fuquelin's feet suddenly slipped and she lost her balance.

However, before she fell, a not-so-strong but very powerful hand supported her first.

"Don't look around, Fuquelin!" Heselia shook her head helplessly, "I know you are very interested in these plants, but before looking at them, you must first look at your feet!"

"Hug...sorry!"

Fqueryne seemed to be about to bow, and then was straightened up by Sisilia again.

Seeing Fuquelin who was looking embarrassed but couldn't help but look around, Heselia could only sigh helplessly in the end.

As the first mage she knew, and having made many judgments about the king of games with Fuquelin, Xisilia knew very well what kind of person this little sister was - she had a very flexible mind and was very flexible when doing things. She is down-to-earth and serious, but her curiosity and thirst for knowledge are a little too strong. When playing chess, she will even take some steps that make people laugh or cry out of curiosity.

She already likes plants, and she has just spent the whole winter in the camp, and now she has seen so many plant types that she has never seen before. I am afraid that the reminder alone is not enough to make her focus on the road!

"Fufu!" Xisilia tightened Fuquelin's hat and whispered her nickname, "Stop looking around and promise me that if you can complete this journey with all your heart, you will reach the end of the road. At the first exploration point, I wrote to my family to send Yuncong flowers!"

"Yunconghua?" Fuquelin's eyes clearly lit up when she heard the name, "Is it the one you told me about, the Yunconghua that can bloom under the snow?"

"That's right." Xisilia nodded, "I am from Yuncong. Recently, Your Excellency Laxana is counting family letters and distributing them together. When the time comes, I will ask my mother to send a pack of Yuncong flower seeds!"

"But Yun Cong... it's very far to get here!" Fuquelin blinked, "Yun Cong, it should be near Green Teeth Peak, right?"

"Fufu still knows about Green Teeth Peak? Aren't you from Needle Creek County?" Xisilia said with some surprise, "Don't worry, the seeds of Yunconghua are very small. Just wrap them in a paper bag with the letter. It can be delivered!”

"Then it's settled!" Fouquelin said sternly, "From now on, Fouquelin will have nothing to worry about!"

Under the temptation of Yunconghua seeds, Fuquelin reluctantly concentrated her attention and stopped looking at the various plants on both sides of the path. During the lunch break, Ino praised her for her seriousness and told her to keep up her efforts in the afternoon.

And during the march in the afternoon, Fouquelin kept up her efforts and truly focused on everything - not that she was more serious, but because they arrived at the mountain pass for this exploration trip not long after setting off in the afternoon.

As the gradient of the climb suddenly increased, Fouquelin no longer had the energy to look around. She had to focus entirely on her feet - in this snow-covered mountain, even if everyone lined up in two rows, the people behind would step on the front. You can move in the snow nests made by people, but due to the uneven terrain under the snow, you will still lose your balance accidentally when walking with one foot deeper and one foot shallower.

For Nadinson, the leader of the team, the snow in the Longji Mountains this year is at normal knee level, but the snow on his knees is like snow on the thighs for Fouquelin, even if there is a snow nest where people in front of him have walked. , it was still quite difficult for her to get on her way.

In this case, it can only be said that it was thanks to Heathlia. If she hadn't been holding Fouquelin's arm to help her maintain her balance, I'm afraid Fouquelin would have fallen into a gourd after walking down the mountain road all afternoon. .

It was getting late, and when the team arrived at the hunter's cabin where they rested on the first night, if it weren't for the sea dragon leather vest and breeches provided by Lux, Fouquelin would have been soaked and frozen.

"Our movement has been a bit slow this year." In the hunter's cabin, which was a little cramped due to the large number of people entering, Nadineson said seriously, "Although when we arrived here, it was only slower than the original plan. Two quarters of an hour, but in the mountains at this time, even two quarters of an hour can be fatal. "

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Nadineson." As the person in charge of the Dharma Controller, Fauquelin stood up immediately, "It's because I haven't learned how to travel in the mountains, and I won't know how to do it tomorrow!"

Raising his eyebrows, Nadineson said nothing in the end - if he hadn't known that the little girl in front of him was the most important person on the Dharma Controller's side, he would have definitely thought that the other party had deliberately sent someone he couldn't criticize to carry out the accusation. pot.

Nadineson had no good solution for this little girl who was walking very hard but couldn't walk fast due to physical reasons, but who was still the core of the Archon's operation.

In the end, he could only say "get some rest early" and got up and left the hunter's cabin - there were too many people in this operation, and he planned to build a simple shed outside the house against the house.

Then, just after Nadineson went out, he was shocked to find that next to the hunter's cabin, a house made of ice had been built. It looked even bigger than the hunter's cabin!

"There are too many people this time, and there is no room for rest in the hunter's hut." The Archon who had just finished building the house said to him with a smile, "So I just built an igloo here."

"you……"

Nadineson's eyes widened in astonishment. He looked at the igloo blankly, and suddenly an incredible thought came to his mind.

Could it be that the person in front of me is a mage?

Apart from magic, Nadineson couldn't think of any way to create an igloo out of thin air!

"Mr. Nadinson, I am indeed a spellcaster." As if guessing his thoughts, the spellcaster who built the igloo handed him a letter, "Mother Nadin knew it a long time ago - spellcasters are not evil. I will prove this to you in the subsequent journey."

"Mother knows your identity?" Nadinson took the letter and scanned it under the light of the torch, "Are all of you spellcasters?"

Nadinson did not get an answer to this question. The other party just smiled and grinned, and did not seem to intend to respond directly.

……………………

In the end, Nadinson took the stronger people in the team and slept in the igloo for a night. During this period, some people were curious about the origin of this igloo, but they were fooled by Nadinson with "Don't worry about it, go to bed quickly."

The next day, Nadinson, who did not sleep well, got up early, organized the team, and began to arrange breakfast.

Then, just as Nadinson started to boil water and prepare to eat cold dry food, Fuquelin found him and handed him a handful of acorns that were obviously just roasted.

"Have some hot acorns!" The little girl happily shared the acorns that were roasted just right, the shells had cracked, and they could be eaten as soon as they were broken open, "They are delicious!"

"You brought acorns?" Nadinson was not polite and took the acorns directly, "I see you didn't bring too big a package..."

"It wasn't me who brought them, it was Brother Bunocklin, he found an oak tree last night!" The little girl said with a smile, "These are the acorns he harvested this morning!"

Nadinson instinctively felt a sense of absurdity - there are indeed some oak trees growing in the coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forests on the southern foot of the Longji Mountains, but it is early spring now, how can there be acorns at this time? !

Wasn't that thing picked up when entering the mountains in autumn?

He looked at the steaming acorns in his hand with doubt. It was indeed the familiar smell of roasted acorns, and it was a treasure. Only the herbalists who entered the Longji Mountains in autumn but before the first snow fell could eat acorns with such a rich flavor.

But now it is early spring, and the ice and snow have not melted yet!

Full of doubts, Nadinson didn't care to eat the acorns, and hurriedly asked Fuquelin where these acorns came from. If there is really an oak tree in the mountains that can produce acorns in spring, then this trip to the mountains will be a great harvest.

A moment later, Nadinson was brought to the oak tree by Fuquelin.

Nadinson looked at the oak tree carefully. From the perspective of an experienced herbalist, he felt that this was an oak tree in early autumn.

Look at the leaves and the state of the bark - it seems that because the surrounding temperature is too low, this oak tree even has autumn frost. When the wind blows, many twigs begin to dry and fall off!

What the hell, this is clearly an oak tree in autumn!

"How does Brunoklin harvest acorns?" Nadinson said with difficulty, "Use... magic?"

"Yes, use magic!" Fuquelin showed a proud expression, "Brownoklin is best at controlling the growth of oak trees, but it's a pity that the land by the lake is too wet and too stuffy to grow oak trees, otherwise I would have had a lot of acorns to eat last winter..."

Looking at the oak tree in front of him that strangely appeared in early spring but was in early autumn, and listening to Fuquelin's proud narration, Nadinson felt that his worldview was distorted.

In his impression, mages are the owners of powerful forces. The northerners are not as sensitive to the "evil of magic" as the people in the heart of Demacia, but because most of the spellcasters in Freljord do nothing, their impression of mages is also very negative.

But the hot acorns in front of him and the familiar yet strange oak tree completely overturned Nadinson's cognition. He opened his mouth, but found that he had nothing to say at all - so he took out the letter his mother left for him again and set his eyes on the last line.

"Start from the beginning, just like the first time I took you into the Dragon Ridge Mountains, feel it, and record it."

After a moment of hesitation, he shook his head helplessly, put away the letter, and then broke open an acorn in his hand and threw it into his mouth.

"The acorns taste really good." Nadinson finally showed a smile on his serious face, "They are also well roasted."

"Brother Braum is a master of barbecue!"

"Mr. Braum, is he also a magician?" Nadinson's smile was a little stiff, but soon returned to normal, "Did he roast it with magic? No wonder there is no wood taste at all."

"Brother Brunoclin said it is best to roast it with oak, but unfortunately there is not enough time." Fuquelin also put a nut into her mouth, "But I think it tastes good!"

"It tastes good, but you can't eat too much." Nadinson nodded after adjusting his mentality, "Especially you can't eat it when you are on the road, you will have a stomachache."

"Oh."

"Also, next time you rest, if you find something edible, remember to notify me in advance." After a pause, Nadinson added, "Such good acorns, it's a bit of a waste to eat them dry after roasting."

As he said, he broke another acorn, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it hard.

Between his lips and teeth, the unique oily flavor of acorns began to spread, and Nadinson's mouth corners slightly curled up, and his eyes narrowed at the same time.

Recording from the beginning...

It's really a headache to have a mother who is so old and doesn't always like to talk well - does your son look like a prejudiced, serious and stubborn fool?

Kalya’s Little Classroom Granny Nadine and Nadine Son:

Naming someone with the name of a more famous person among their elders as part of their name is also a common naming method in the northern part of Demacia. This naming method is related to the naming method of the Freljord people.

In the Freljord, children before the name day do not have their own names because they are prone to die young. They are all children of XXX. They will not have their own names until they survive the name day.

As some Freljord people moved south, this custom gradually spread to the northern part of Demacia. However, because the natural environment here is very good, it is easy for children to survive the name day, so it gradually evolved into some children. Will be named after a more famous person in the family.
