Chapter 69: It’s going to be haunted...

(My condition seems to be much better today. I was really uncomfortable yesterday, with anxiety, dizziness, drowsiness, etc. It is said that quitting smoking is the most difficult in the first three days, and it becomes much easier after that.

Death moss?

Could it be that Lina Imbas, the somewhat confused legendary mage, knows this kind of vegetation?

Seeing Murphy and the other two chemists in the laboratory turning around in surprise at her words and looking at her in confusion, the girl also became a little confused. She tilted her head and looked at Murphy with some confusion, and asked: "Don't you all know this kind of vegetation? Then you brought them here. Don't you know that this kind of plant is poisonous?"

"Nonsense, of course I know it's poisonous." Murphy rolled his eyes at the girl, thinking inadvertently.

This moss looks grey-purple, and the color is quite bright. You can tell at a glance that it is probably poisonous, but there is still too much to distinguish. However, Murphy wisely did not argue with the girl who was not on the same level of thinking. Instead, he asked very sincerely: "Do you know this kind of thing?"

"Of course." The nervous girl seemed to be moved by Murphy's sincere expression. This time she did not say any shocking words, but fiddled with the gray-purple moss with her snow-white slender fingers and recalled: "Death moss is a very common moss. It mainly grows on dark soil that is shrouded in filthy air. Generally, wherever the filthy air of death is shrouded, this kind of moss will grow."

Murphy and the others suddenly became thoughtful after hearing this.

etc.

"Are you saying that any place shrouded in the filthy air of death will be covered with moss?" Murphy asked in disbelief with a face full of shock.

Lena Inbas was a little confused as to why Murphy had such an exaggerated expression, but in order to please this future meal ticket, she nodded obediently and confirmed: "Yes, as long as there is a place with the smell of death, it will grow." Full of this moss.”

Murphy and the two chemists looked at each other, their expressions suddenly as solemn as water. They looked at the death moss on the test platform and fell silent involuntarily.

From the information Murphy learned, this kind of gray-purple moss is almost everywhere in the Underdark. If what Lena Inbas said is correct, this kind of death moss will only be polluted when it is polluted. If the soil shrouded in the aura of death grows, then the seriousness of the matter is really beyond Murphy's estimation. Because the underground world has spawned this kind of death moss on such a large scale, and it covers such a wide area

What does that mean?

It means that the land under our feet has been eroded by the dirty breath of death again, and it means that some evil force is corroding the earth with its dirty breath.

Murphy didn't know who was behind the conspiracy to change the structure of the entire continent, but there was no doubt that this matter was absolutely inescapable from the invasion of the abyss.

"Go to the Moonlight Grove immediately and tell this matter to Rose Tyrande, the moonwalker." Murphy turned to the gray-robed mage Gandalf with a serious expression and said in a deep voice.

The only high elf he is familiar with currently is Rose Tyrande, Moonwalker. After realizing the seriousness of this matter, Murphy immediately decided to convey it to Moonwalker, preferably through her to the Emerald Dream. In the ears of the great druid and those sleeping ancient elves. The situation must not be allowed to develop like this. If the land continues to be eroded like this, I am afraid that by this time next year, it will not only be a reduction in food production, but also a loss of harvest on the entire land.

At that time, there was no need to touch the abyss, and hunger had killed most of the creatures in this world.

The gray robe mage Gandalf obviously realized that the seriousness of the matter was beyond everyone's expectations. He nodded calmly, asked his mage apprentice to explain a few things, and then quickly walked outside. As soon as he walked out He began to transform in the room, and the energy fluctuations of the transformation system reverberated, and soon he turned into a gray-black eagle, spreading its wings and heading towards the Moonlight Woodland.

"Since you plan to visit Athens, shall I arrange for you to stay in the academy first?" Murphy turned his attention to the girl next to him and asked.

Originally, Lina Inbas planned to live in the most luxurious and magnificent building in Athens. However, after arriving at the laboratory, she saw many equipment that seemed to be very familiar to her. She suddenly felt that this place might be able to To help myself retrieve a little more of my past memories, I nodded in agreement very obediently. The reason why she is so well-behaved is mainly because this man, who she thought was very weak before, actually has a god of war named Kratos behind him. It is said that there is not only one Kratos, but also a group of people named Austria standing behind him. god of lympus gods

Therefore, when the girl learned all this, she immediately discovered that although Murphy's personal strength was slightly weaker, he was definitely rich enough and had a thick enough thigh. Lina Imbas, who has more or less recovered some of her memory, now has a vague feeling that she may not be from this world, but from other dimensions. There is something about Murphy that makes her feel useful. s things.

After settling the visiting girl, Murphy immediately got back into his busy work

Athens reclaimed a large amount of land last year, and the technological improvement of canal irrigation has greatly increased the amount of labor required for this year's harvest. Although there are a large number of lower-class civilians who have migrated, settling them is also a very troublesome matter. Moreover, two new legions in Athens were also training, and Murphy suddenly had more things to deal with, making him wish he could suddenly master the art of cloning.

The Silver Shield Legion infantry showed strong combat effectiveness in the battle with the Lizardmen. Murphy planned to expand their size to 2,400 people and form a separate legion. Moreover, two of the newly promoted generals stood out from the infantry of the Silver Shield Legion and have the title of infantry command master. Having them command the infantry of the Silver Shield Legion will undoubtedly double their combat effectiveness.

Another is that the recruitment and training of heavy armored cavalry has begun. Athens' demand for iron ore has increased for a while, and a large number of horses are kept in captivity, so Murphy has to select a place to open up pasture for grazing. Nowadays, there are more than 2,400 war horses in Athens, and more than 3,000 other inferior horses, pack horses, draft horses, etc., which is already a considerable consumption of fodder.

Because the number of cattle is not very abundant, Murphy has to find other livestock alternatives. Now he has issued a ban on cattle slaughter. Any slaughter of cattle is illegal. Even if it is to slaughter old and weak cattle, it must be reported to the police in advance. Officials from all over the country filed a record.

"Sir Governor, this is the food production in the fields this year." As soon as Murphy arrived at the executive office, the former agricultural experts and his entourage hurried over. Now he is the Minister of Agriculture in Athens, fully responsible for all aspects of crop cultivation. This middle-aged man handed a written statistics to Murphy with concern, and said: "Although there are no such serious disasters like other places. , but this year’s grain production in Athens has also dropped by 15%, and I’m afraid it won’t work if it continues like this.”

Murphy took the written statistics with a sullen face. After looking at it carefully, he frowned and said, "How is the construction of the canal irrigation system? How much land can be re-seeded this year?"

The grain output per acre of land in Athens has decreased by about 15% compared to last year. This reduction occurred after the Goddess of Wisdom Athena upgraded her fertility domain and improved farming techniques. If the fertility field of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, had not been upgraded and Athens' crop farming technology had not been improved, then the production loss this year would probably increase, and could even reach a reduction of more than 30%.

The only good thing is that Athens carried out large-scale reclamation of wasteland last year. Coupled with the large number of foreign slaves as free labor, the area cultivated by Athens last year nearly doubled compared to before. After such a conversion, although the grain output per acre of land in Athens has decreased, the overall grain income this year has nearly doubled. For the time being, Athens, which has quite abundant grain in the national treasury, will not have a food crisis, but If famine occurs elsewhere in the southern plains and a large number of victims appear, Murphy cannot sit idly by and ignore it.

After all, there are only so many humans, and he can't just watch others starve to death.

If you take into account the reduced production in the southern plains this year and the possibility of famine next year, then Athens will not have enough food.

There have been endless wars in the southern plains in the past few years. First they were gnolls, then orcs, and then they were robbed by the creatures that poured into the southern wilderness. As they approached, they were robbed by lizardmen. In the past few years of war, the food reserves stored by the Noble Council have not been much. And this year, there has been a reduction in food production. The food produced in the southern plains is barely enough for self-sufficiency at best, and there will be no surplus.

If the disaster continues to worsen next year, there may be a large number of refugees in the southern plains.

"It is estimated that in one month, half of the cultivated land should be able to be reseeded." The agricultural expert picked up a piece of paper and counted, and then said: "If we can temporarily stop reclaiming wasteland, let the lower class civilians join in building the canal irrigation system. If so, it is estimated that most of the land will be able to be sown again in one and a half months.”

"Well, I will dispatch manpower to you immediately, and you will immediately complete the irrigation of the diversion canal." Murphy nodded and immediately ordered.

Faced with the decrease in land grain production, Murphy could only think of ways to improve farming techniques and conduct secondary sowing. If the cultivated land in Athens can be reseeded, and then extended to the entire principality, then it may be possible to cope with the next disaster. The cultivated land cannot be converted into food immediately. Whether it is building canals or dams, it will take more than half a year. There is no rush now. It is better to deal with the cultivated land that was previously reclaimed and save the rest for later. Do this when winter wheat is planted in late October.

The third day.

Just as Athens was carrying out a large-scale grain harvest, the gray robe wizard Gandalf also returned to Athens, and he brought back a letter to Murphy.

After reading the letter, Murphy only said one sentence: "It's going to be haunted..."
