Second Age Era 377, late April.

The annual winter wheat harvest is approaching. Winter wheat in the southern plains is usually planted around October last year and matures around May next year. Because the level of cultivation in this era was not very high, the main crops such as wheat, rice (similar crops are found in the lower reaches of the Nidoria River), sorghum (barbarians and orcs grow similar crops), and some drought-resistant crops are all The type that matures once a year. During other periods of time, alternative farming methods are used to grow other crops.

Therefore, in places like the southern plains, winter wheat harvested once a year is particularly important.

But for some reason this year, the winter wheat in the fields was still growing vigorously when spring started, but in February and March, there was a lack of harvest. There were no pests in the fields, but all the winter wheat seemed to have some disease. , some light purple or light black spots appeared on the stems and leaves. Winter wheat production in many places has suffered a large reduction, or even no harvest.

If winter wheat, the main cultivated crop, fails to harvest, it will be a huge disaster for the entire southern plains.

It's not a drought or a flood, but the crops that were planted began to get sick inexplicably, and then their yields were greatly reduced. This situation is not only limited to the human city-states in the southern plains, but also other places such as the Orc Empire, the Elf Woodland, In places such as the Dwarf Mountains, crop yields have been reduced to varying degrees. Some can still harvest a little, while others have no harvest at all.

This situation can be said to have suddenly intensified the outbreak of wars between various races on the continent. Some species that are short of food have begun to actively launch aggressive wars, and even some uncivilized species have begun to feed on the corpses of other races.

……………………

The deterioration of the situation has made the high elves very busy. It has to be said that although these high elves seem a little arrogant, they are indeed the guardians of the world order from the starting point. At least they have been working hard. To protect the natural environment of this world and maintain the balance and order of the world. Maybe they also made some mistakes, but overall they still contributed a lot.

Because there are varying degrees of food shortages in various parts of the continent, if this situation is allowed to continue, I am afraid that the entire world will trigger large-scale wars and disasters. Therefore, after emergency deliberations, the High Elf Council began to send a large number of high-level druids to various parts of the world to check the specific situation and find out why there was such a large-scale reduction in food production this year.

At the same time, the powerful moonwalkers, the messengers of the moon god Elùen in the human world, also gathered together and began to take the initiative to march towards the dark region.

Because the information from the Goddess of Life told them that the root of everything was probably caused by the Dark Territory. The filthy and turbid atmosphere had begun to spread in the underground world. If this evil and filthy energy was allowed to continue to erode the earth, , then the entire land in the world will be affected by negative energy and turn into soil full of evil and death.

One of the agents of the Moon God, Rose Tyrande, led a group of high-level elves into the cave from the Karazhan Mountains near Athens that connects to the underground world.

Since he chose to enter the underground world near Athens, this powerful moonwalker inevitably met the mountain giant guarding near the pit connecting the Underdark. Rose Tyrande was naturally very happy to see her powerful ally from the previous era, but just after she sent out the invitation for assistance, the epic mountain giant Que, who was close to the gods, shook his head.

"My ancient allies"

"My long life has come to an end and I am about to return to the embrace of Mother Earth. Although I can feel the evil approaching again, I have no way to help you again." The mountain giant's voice was very tired, although it was still So powerful, but it is really coming to the end of time. If the new element core hadn't split off, it might have been able to survive in the world for hundreds or even thousands of years. But after condensing the new elemental core, its life has become very short.

Mountain giants are elemental beings with no gender. For them, continuing their descendants means stripping off a part of their own lives as a new beginning.

"But my ancient ally, you may be able to go to a place called Athens. The governor there has the new elemental core I gave him. He is a human being blessed by the Mother of the Earth. He should help you fight evil together. "Just when Rose Tyrande felt extremely disappointed, the words of the epic mountain giant made her feel extremely excited.

But what she never expected was that this matter would actually be related to Murphy again.

Moreover, this epic mountain giant, a powerful being comparable to the ancient elves, actually handed over the new elemental core and the continuation of its life to an ordinary human being.

This is really unbelievable in Rose Tyrande's opinion

But things were so unimaginable. After bidding farewell to the tired mountain giant, the powerful Moonwalker led a group of high-level elf warriors into the dark realm. As soon as she went deep into the underground world, Rose Tyrande discovered a serious problem, that is, the dark mushrooms that originally grew in large numbers in the underground world had disappeared, and were replaced by a large amount of gray-purple moss, which grew and spread. The speed is very terrifying, and it has now occupied a large amount of places in the Dark Territory, and even both sides of the road are covered with dense layers.

If it continues to grow at this pace, these weird gray-purple moss will probably fill the entire Dark Area.

After several days of searching without results, Rose Tyrande had to leave with her team.

She didn't know the specific reason, but it should be related to the gray-purple moss that grew in large numbers, because this gray-purple moss had a faint smell of death and did not look like a naturally occurring plant. She plans to take this thing back to the Archdruid to see if the reason behind it can be found out online.

But after she brought this gray-purple moss out of the underground world, as soon as it was exposed to the sun, the moss, which was still very fresh and tenacious before, began to wither at a very fast speed, but it suddenly... It became dull and lost all its color, and the water began to evaporate quickly. The faint aura of death hidden in it disappeared without a trace in an instant, just pinch it with your hand. , these withered moss turned into a gray powder.

There was no other way, so Rose Tyrande could only go deep into the underground world again, wrap some of these gray-purple moss in something to avoid being exposed to the sun, and then bring them back to the Archdruid for study.

……………………

Just as Moonwalker Rose Tyrande left with these gray-purple moss, Murphy was also studying this abundant plant with two magicians in the Arcane Laboratory of the Academy of Athens. Because the dòngxùe people came out in large numbers, Murphy had to investigate the reason for their large number. Because of his alliance with the harpy queen Aviana, Murphy entrusted this matter to her.

As a result, a few days later, Queen Evana sent him a large amount of this gray-purple vegetation.

"This kind of moss is slightly poisonous. If you eat too much, it will cause the creature to hallucinate, become crazy, and become more and more confused. Moreover, this gray-purple moss also has a trace of death in it. "It's very weird." Medical technician Merlin placed the tarnished moss on the experimental table, then took a test tube with some sulfuric acid and gently dropped it on it, and then a trace of black gas came out of it. .

Every plant contains elemental attributes, and medicinal alchemy has a very precise effect on analyzing the elemental content of plants. Since arriving in Athens, the main research on alchemy has been shifted from Murphy to the two masters. Now, in addition to educating apprentices and organizing knowledge books, they conduct various alchemical experiments every day.

"As soon as it is exposed to the sun, this kind of moss will weather quickly, and the water will evaporate at an alarming rate. It will lose its luster, and the elemental power it contains will also change from active to inert, becoming like ordinary dust. Same." The gray robe wizard Gandalf sprinkled a handful of gray powder on a tray, then poured in water and some soil, and soon saw the gray powder mixed with the soil and water appear. There were a lot of small purple spots, and there were more and more. In half an hour, a thin layer of purple floats appeared.

The gray-robed mage Gandalf's face was solemn and he continued: "Although these species will wither when exposed to sunlight, after withering, as long as there is moisture and soil, the powder they turn into can regenerate at an extremely fast speed. "

Murphy was obviously aware of the damage that the emergence of this vegetation would have on the natural world, and using modern knowledge, he also conducted an important experiment.

That is to expose this gray-purple moss to strong light and sunlight respectively to see what kind of difference they will have. In this primitive world, sunlight is not an ordinary brilliance, because it is said to contain the power of the sun and is the nemesis of all evil and filth. But Murphy, who comes from the earth, does not think so, because he knows that sunlight contains It contains ultraviolet rays and a large amount of cosmic rays, which are completely different from ordinary light.

Murphy used arcane spells to create a strong light source. However, under these strong lights, although the moss itself will be inhibited from growing and appear a little sluggish, it will not wither so quickly.

This allowed him to confirm one thing, that is, these gray-purple moss are not afraid of light, but are afraid of ultraviolet rays.

………………

"Master Governor, there is a military commander outside who wants to see you." A general's guard walked in quickly and said.

Someone wants to see me?

Or a doctor? Are there so many military divisions in the southern plains?

Murphy couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard this, but then he stood up and went out to greet him. Although there were not many mages in the southern plains, it was not ruled out that there were other magicians who lived in seclusion. Since the other party is a supernatural master with a transcendent status, it is appropriate to greet him in person. After all, such a being must be given a certain amount of respect.

After walking out of Athens Academy, Murphy saw a magician.

And it's quite big

"Why are you here?" Murphy looked helplessly at the young woman wearing a large cloak in front of him, shaking his head.

Although most of her body was hidden under the cloak, Murphy could still recognize her identity at a glance, because the fiery red robe leaking out of the gap in the cloak could not be covered up by anything. Most of the mages that Murphy knew so far were relatively plainly dressed, and there was obviously only one who wore such a fiery red robe, and that was the legendary mage whom he had seen in the main city of the semi-elves.

That magician Lina Imbas with a bit of a funny mind.

"Why can't I come?" The girl glared at Murphy and asked confidently.

Murphy murmured speechlessly and had to raise his hand to guide her in. Facing this legendary mage with a bit of a funny mind, Murphy was really at his wits end. She is often left speechless by a question that is not on the same level of thinking as her. In the end, Murphy was basically afraid of her, and he wanted to stay away from her when he saw her. Now this young woman has actually come to Athens, and Murphy is suddenly as big as one.

"I'm just wandering around out of boredom." Seeing that Murphy didn't really seem to welcome her, the young girl could only run two steps to catch up with him, grabbed his arm and shook it, acting like a cute and coquettish person. His expression said: "Don't be like this. In the worst case, I'll leave now."

After saying that, the young girl showed an aggrieved expression.

Acting cute?

This guy can actually be cute?

Murphy, who had a sullen face, was immediately speechless. He could only sigh and said: "If you just come to Athens for fun, I welcome you. But what you did with the semi-elves cannot be repeated here. "

This young girl's greedy nature is really bad.

After staying with the half-elves for less than half a year, he almost became a bit angry. But she was incredibly powerful. On the battlefield north of the Lizardmen (on the other side of the Agate River), she single-handedly fought off a large group of demonized Lizardmen.

This made it so that no one dared to really fight her.

If you can't fight, can't you hide?

In the end, almost all the demi-elves had no choice but to hide when they saw her. Even Arturia hid far away when she saw her. Murphy suspected that this young girl with a bit of a funny mind had come to Athens now. It was probably because not many people around the half-elves would care about her anymore. After all, few people are willing to interact too much with someone who is always thinking about their wallet.

In fact, Murphy only guessed half of it.

The more important reason is that during the Lizardman War, the girl in front of me took advantage of the black dragon to fly to the battlefield on the other side of the river, quietly used a big move to end her battle, and then flew to the southern wilderness in a sneaky way. The black dragon took a walk around the dragon's lair and took away a large number of shiny things. In fact, she wasn't just wandering around boredly, she was actually running around being chased by a group of black dragons.

This situation lasted until she secretly ran away to Athens. Athens, shrouded in the glory of the Olympus gods, was able to block the black dragon's tracking magic on her.

So she first ran to the depths of the Karazhan Mountains, and then quietly sneaked into Athens. I finally got rid of those black dragons temporarily.

As for why she thought of Murphy, there was a twist.

As we all know, Athens is a very prosperous city. At least there is no place more prosperous than Athens in the entire southern plain. As a prosperous big city, the quality of life in Athens is naturally very high, and the same consumption level is not at all Not low. The spirits of Athens are equal to the same weight of silver and gold, and the hotels in Athens are luxuriously decorated. These are all prepared for the big businessmen who come and go, and these people are all wealthy owners.

As a mage, the young lady certainly doesn't want to live in an ordinary hotel like that and eat food that doesn't taste good. But if she wants to spend a lot of money on her own consumption as a young woman, she is reluctant to do so.

Then, she remembered Murphy, the governor of Athens, whom she had met several times.

a free meal ticket

………………

This is roughly what happened. The young girl followed Murphy with a shy face and looked around curiously.

In this era, there are very few large-scale educational colleges like the Academy of Athens. Even among the higher elves, there may not be such a large-scale school. So the young girl looked at the surrounding buildings curiously along the way, and even ran up to rub some interesting sculptures when she saw them, which seemed very childish. After entering the laboratory of the two chemists, the girl suddenly became quiet. She looked at the glass test tubes, crystal bottles and other equipment suspiciously, as if she remembered something.

When the young girl's eyes fell on the gray-purple moss on the experimental table, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Isn't this death moss?"
