Chapter 336: Surprise

The white flower in the White Flower Society is not a person's name, but a special flower on the Rapids Island.

According to Knight Vali's description, this is a kind of elegant white flower with delicate and soft petals, but no obvious fragrance.

This seemingly ordinary flower has a relatively thick stem, and under the stem grows rough, ugly, and irregular roots.

When Ronin heard this, his mind was immediately attracted.

"Is this kind of flower only found in the territory of the White Flower Society?" he asked.

Vali shook his head, "That's not the case. Earlier, there were also flowers in the port, but there was a period of time when the island was short of food. Some prisoners were so hungry that they dug out its roots and ate them. Soon they became dizzy, vomited, and eventually died. We cleaned up this poisonous thing."

He paused and said, "But it may still be found in the woods outside the port. But now it is October, and the white flowers are basically withering and dying, which is not very beautiful."

Vali subconsciously thought that Ronin was interested in flowers. After all, many nobles like to grow flowers very much, even if he is a man.

Ronin nodded and stopped talking about the white flower. Instead, he talked with everyone about what they needed to pay attention to in tomorrow's battle.

First, they needed to enter the territory of the White Flower Society and consider whether the other party would set traps in advance, occupy the terrain, ambush and attack them, and cause them a large number of casualties.

Secondly, this operation must completely solve the future troubles and not let the core members of the White Flower Society escape.

So when necessary, they need to rely on Knight Missy's griffin to hunt them down.

After some discussion, it was almost noon.

At the invitation of Knight Valli, everyone had lunch together.

In the afternoon, Ronin took Tom and David out of the port and walked into the forest outside.

According to Knight Valli's description, the three began to look for the little white flower.

Maybe because the port residents cleaned up the poison more thoroughly, they walked a long distance and didn't find it. Until David found a few little white flowers that were about to wither beside a pond in the forest.

"Sir, is this it?"

Ronin walked over. He had never seen this kind of flower and couldn't tell whether the thing Valli described was what he remembered.

"Dig out the root underneath it and let me see it."

Tom and David hurriedly started digging, and soon the ugly, irregular root underneath was taken out.

"What is this?"

David looked at it curiously.

The surface of the root was bumpy and it really didn't look beautiful at all.

"Sure enough, it looks like it's poisonous."

Tom also expressed his opinion, "Are you going to take it back to make poison for the great doctor Elron?"

"This is not poison!"

Ronin took the root from Tom, and the more he looked at it, the more he couldn't let it go.

"Don't look at its ugly appearance, but it can be said that it is a gift from Mother Earth, a kind of food that can bring vitality!"

Now it was Tom and David's turn to be confused.

"Sir, Knight Vali said that eating it will cause vomiting, dizziness, and eventually death, but you said it is a food that can bring vitality?"

"Yes, can this thing be eaten?"

Ronin smiled mysteriously and said with certainty: "Yes, of course it can be eaten!"

The thing in his hand is none other than potatoes, which is commonly known as potatoes.

This thing is not only delicious, but also rich in starch, vitamins and minerals, and is an important source of energy for the human body. In the cold winter, a bowl of fragrant shredded potatoes can always bring endless warmth and satisfaction to people.

The most important thing is that potatoes have a short growth cycle and high yield, and are a major food crop.

Historically, it is said that the widespread cultivation of potatoes has contributed at least a quarter of the population growth.

Wubei Territory now has wheat and rice. If potatoes are also planted quickly to completely solve the food problem, Ronin believes that the population of Wubei Territory will enter a stage of sustained growth.

"We can call the root of this white flower 'potato'. I guess the person who ate it must have eaten sprouted and green potatoes. In addition, he was already hungry and in very poor health, so he eventually died."

As long as someone dies from eating it, others will not only not try it again, but will even spread the news that potatoes are poisonous. Over time, it has become a highly toxic substance.

He took out a dagger from the space ring, peeled the potato skin in a few seconds, and then cut it into slices.

After washing it with the water pool next to him, Luo Ning summoned a small flame above his palm and demonstrated how to roast potatoes on the spot.

"If we choose normal mature potatoes, we don't have to worry about poisoning after roasting them at high temperature."

As he spoke, the potato in his hand was quickly roasted. Although the uneven heating caused some places to be burnt, there was still a unique fragrance wafting out.

Luo Ning took out a piece and ate it. Although there was no seasoning, he still tasted a familiar feeling, as if he had returned to Earth.

Tom and David were a little worried and didn't dare to try it, but after seeing Roning eat it, they also ate a piece bravely.

Their eyes suddenly lit up.

"It smells good!"

"It feels like never before!"

They admired Roning more and more, "Sir, you know a lot."

"It's just that I've seen a lot."

Roning shared the remaining potato chips with the two of them.

He thought about the White Flower Club. The other party was not worried about falling out with Vali and running out of food. Has he already found the correct way to eat potatoes?

"You go back first, and don't mention the method of eating potatoes to outsiders for the time being."

Luo Ning said, "If outsiders ask, just say that I am relaxing in the forest alone."

As he spoke, he shouted in his heart. Not long after, Carlos descended into the forest, but under the bending light and shadow, his figure could not be seen clearly enough.

"Master, have you encountered any trouble?" The dragon asked with some concern.

During this time, Carlos followed Ronin. When they are hungry, they go to the sea to hunt for food. When they are tired, they look for an island or reef to rest.

For him, life is still as carefree and free, but compared to living at sea, Carlos prefers to live in the Northern Territory, where food is abundant.

"No trouble."

Luo Ning smiled and jumped on the dragon's back. After not seeing each other for such a long time, Carlos's level progress reached 30/12500.

Although it has increased a little, but with such a large base, it is almost as if it has not increased at all.

"Let's go, take me to the island for a walk, and be careful to stay hidden."

"Okay~"

Carlos flapped his wings and flew up, reaching high in the sky in the blink of an eye. The overall outline of Waiheke Island appeared in Ronin's field of vision.

Waiheke Island is not small. Its terrain is undulating and hilly, and most of the area is covered by green trees. Although humans have lived on this island for a long time, the scope of development is still very small.

"Let's go over there first."

Luo Ning pointed to an area with more houses. According to his guess, that should be the territory of the White Flower Club that Vali mentioned.

Carlos was very fast, and in just two or three minutes, he reached the top of the White Flower Club's territory.

Luo Ning saw that a large area of ​​fields had been cultivated here, and many people were busy on the fields.

He let Carlos drop a little, and it was easy to see clearly what the farmers were doing - digging potatoes.

It's obvious that people from the Baihua Society know how to eat potatoes.

"Huh?"

Luo Ning glanced to the east side in surprise. He actually saw the second pier on Waiheke Island. (End of chapter)
