Chapter 235: I Like the Grave Grass You Sent

~14 min read 2,683 words

Du Binqi walked in the front. Although he had tried his best to cover it up, he couldn't help but show a look of disgust on his face, especially when he saw those skeletons and zombies.

And the arrogance and disdain that occasionally appeared on his body had a kind of innate superiority that city people have when they see country bumpkins, which made the Great Sage even more displeased. He himself looked rough and had the appearance of an old farmer, so what was there to be superior about?

The Great Sage himself is a very easy-going undead who drives a carriage to distribute relief grain and can chat with the mayor, village chief, and the bull-headed aunt. He is not arrogant at all, but what is his true identity?

The Great Sage of the Undead Empire, the wisest soul under the monarch. Even Luo Ke and Ha Wei would not be arrogant in front of the Great Sage.

However, considering that the other party brought high-yield grain seeds, the Great Sage felt that these problems could be tolerated, as long as the grain problem could be solved.

The Great Sage never expected that it wasn't the Church of Light that came, but Druids.

Like the believers of light, Druids are actually a profession naturally hostile to undead creatures. They herd life and instinctively hate dead things, so the Great Sage didn't put them in the scope of consideration from the beginning.

But now Du Binqi's arrival opened up the Great Sage's train of thought, making him instantly realize that perhaps Druids were the best candidates to solve this problem.

The problem the Great Sage is facing now is the grain problem. As long as enough grain can be produced, all problems will not be problems.

Because of various reasons in the Fallen Land, the grain yield per mu is only a little over one hundred catties. If the grain yield can be tripled, it will be enough for self-sufficiency.

And these Druids claimed to have brought high-yield grain seeds with a thousand catties per mu, and the growth cycle is short, and they can be harvested in three months.

A thousand catties per mu is equivalent to ten times.

No need for ten times, three times is enough. If it can be quadrupled, then he will have surplus grain in his hands. In case of a disaster year, he can also hold on.

Taking a step back, even if it can't be tripled, as long as it can be doubled, it can also save many people from dying.

The group passed through the Shengbicheng and arrived at the east side of the Central Mountains. The Great Sage pointed to the land in front and said:

"The west side is not very safe for the time being. You can reclaim farmland here. As long as it is an empty space, you can pick it at will. Even if you want my grave, I will move it away immediately to let you have it, as long as you can grow enough grain before the next eternal night," the Great Sage said, patting his chest.

This level of support is not insignificant, but Du Binqi curled his lip: "We'll see. The soil here is not particularly fertile. It's impossible to grow a thousand catties per mu. It's not bad to produce five or six hundred catties. Let's look for more, hoping to have more fertile land."

"No problem, no problem, please, feel free to look. Once you find a suitable one, I will immediately clear the field. You Ying, protect these distinguished guests. I have other things to do and cannot accompany you all the time. Please forgive me," the Great Sage said.

When the Great Sage mentioned You Ying, several shadows emerged, saluted the Great Sage, and then their gazes flickered with red light, each staring at a Druid, and their forms slowly disappeared.

This is not protection at all, it is clearly one-on-one marking. With these You Ying guards staring, the Great Sage dared to boldly let them turn around the world.

When the You Ying guards emerged, the other Druids were startled. Only Du Binqi was not surprised. He didn't even look at the You Ying and took a few beans from his arms and sprinkled them on the ground.

"Life spirits sleeping in the earth, please listen to my call and wake up." Du Binqi raised his left hand and chanted loudly. The air around him quickly became moist, turning into rain mist that drifted down and seeped into the ground.

Within a few minutes, the ground was soaked, and the seeds just sprinkled grew buds visible to the naked eye, rapidly growing into a small tree.

After growing into a small tree, Du Binqi retreated and gave up his position, and the Druids under his command quickly filled the position, casting red and blue rays of light with both hands, shining on the small tree seedlings.

Under the illumination of the rays, the small tree grew rapidly, soon growing into a dwarf tree that was half a person high, but the main trunk was as thick as a waist.

The dwarf tree suddenly moved, pulling its huge root system out of the ground, intertwining into two small short legs, and walking forward with a "ceng ceng ceng."

Tree Herder, the favorite helper of Druids.

Five Tree Herders divided into five directions and moved forward slowly. Their feet extended tree whiskers from time to time, stabbing into the soil to analyze the situation of the soil.

From time to time, they hooked up the plants in the soil, transplanted them to their bodies with roots and soil, and collected local samples.

However, after they stepped into the dead land, they could no longer collect plant samples, and even their roots didn't want to stab into the soil.

After releasing the Tree Herders, the magic robe on Du Binqi's body moved without wind, bulging, and magic power rhythmically moved on his body.

After a full ten seconds, Du Binqi flipped backward, his whole body changed, turning into an eagle, rushing into the sky—Transformation · Eagle.

The other Druids were far inferior to him in strength and had to brew for a minute to change their forms. Du Binqi could only wait. After everyone finished changing forms, they gathered five eagles and found a direction to fly.

One of the Druids remembered something and couldn't help but ask worriedly: "My lord, should we wait for those You Ying guards? I'm afraid that we will accidentally bump into other undead creatures."

Du Binqi didn't even turn his head and responded: "No need, they are on you."

Following Du Binqi's words, the blurry face of a You Ying guard slowly emerged in front of the Druid: "Don't worry, distinguished guests, we will protect your safety."

Not long after the Druids flew away, a gnome and an undead rode bone horses back to the Shengbicheng. Before they even entered the door, they saw the Great Sage walking back.

Fei Li Ke hurriedly greeted: "Great Sage, Great Sage, I found it, I found it. I brought high-yield grain seeds with a thousand catties per mu."

The Great Sage looked at Fei Li Ke with a strange expression: "You also brought high-yield grain seeds with a thousand catties per mu?"

"Also?" Fei Li Ke was stunned: "Could it be that someone else also found high-yield grain seeds?"

The Great Sage told about the Druids. Before Fei Li Ke could say anything, the gnome who came with him shouted:

"Great Sage, please be careful of liars. They just say a thousand catties per mu. What evidence can prove it? He said Chun Feng Cup competition, what evidence can prove it? What if the yield is only a little over one hundred catties per mu? Great Sage, what is wasted is a planting season. Hundreds of thousands of living people will have to suffer for four months."

Hearing the gnome's sincere words, the Great Sage couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?"

"Silver Light Chamber of Commerce President, Gnome Silver Coin, pays respects to the Great Sage. Forgive the presumptuous visit, a little heart, hope the Great Sage can like it," Silver Coin said enthusiastically.

The Great Sage was a bit stunned. Someone actually sent him a gift?

This is something that has never happened in thousands of years. He is an undead, has no form, and has lived for too long. He has no desires. Others don't know what to send him. Over time, no one sent anything.

The Great Sage is now very curious, what will this gnome send him? Magic crystals? Soul crystals? Or...

Opening the box, a gray moss was lying quietly in the box.

A disappointed voice sounded from the side: "Moss..."

Fei Li Ke was actually quite curious about what gift Silver Coin would send to the Great Sage. He was also an undead and knew a little about what things could move the undead, so he was curious for a long time. He didn't expect it to be a piece of moss. Isn't this insulting?

However, the Great Sage carefully held the moss and said:

"This is not moss, this is grave grass. I haven't seen grave grass for a long time. The climate and soil of the Fallen Land are not suitable for the growth of this thing. Planting it around the grave can calm the mind, settle the soul, and drive away spirits. Wraiths are most afraid of this thing. With it, absolutely no wraith will dare to harass you."

Hearing the back, Fei Li Ke's two eyes were about to glow, staring at the grave grass. Ku Ba Da, he can not care about anything, but he cannot not care about wraiths, especially since he often drifts in the wild and is most likely to run into wraiths, and his head is big from being noisy all day.

It is easy to swat wraiths to death, but it is very difficult to swat them all to death. After a while, I don't know where one or two will pop out again, "Ah ah ah—ah ah ah—" screaming around, very annoying.

The Great Sage revealed a look of nostalgia and said: "The most lush grave grass is in the garden in front of the monarch's palace, and in the Undead Temple in the underground city. It's really been a long time since I've seen it. I like this gift very much. How did you get it?"

Silver Coin said without changing his face: "In the human mercenary guild, I received it when I was acquiring various fresh little things. It's great that you like it."

Of course, it wasn't acquired from the mercenary guild, but picked by Ang from the garden in front of the Palace of Rest.

The Great Sage didn't think it was picked from the Palace of Rest, just asked casually, and then covered the box and stuffed it into his form.

With the gift as a foundation, the Great Sage looked at Silver Coin more pleasingly and said in a kind tone when facing a nephew: "Why do you think these Druids are liars?"

"No, Great Sage, it's not that I think so, but in case they are liars, the consequences will be too serious. You will lose a planting season, and it is very likely that more than one hundred thousand people will starve to death," Silver Coin said solemnly.

"Our grain can still support several planting seasons," the Great Sage said.

"But can you guarantee that in case they are liars, before the grain is consumed, you can solve the grain problem?" Silver Coin asked.

The Great Sage frowned: "What do you mean? If you have something to say, don't beat around the bush."

Although the Great Sage's tone was a bit impolite, Silver Coin was more relaxed, because generally speaking, impoliteness is an attitude only toward close people. Clearly, his gift had an effect.

"Great Sage, you need more insurance, such as a chamber of commerce that can mobilize a large amount of grain and can remotely transport it through teleportation arrays, and a Druid who also has high-yield grain seeds and is sure to grow grain in the Fallen Land," Silver Coin said, patting his chest.

"Do you have the confidence to mobilize a large amount of grain and transport it to the Fallen Land?" The Great Sage ignored the high-yield grain seed Druid behind.

How could it be such a coincidence? They didn't come, and two waves came at once. The Great Sage just regarded these as Silver Coin's rhetoric to increase his bargaining chips.

"No problem, if I can't grow enough grain, I will mobilize it from the main plane," Silver Coin said, patting his chest.

The Great Sage was naturally very welcome. As Silver Coin said, he needed multiple insurance, but he also knew that Silver Coin couldn't work in vain and must have something to ask for, so he asked: "What do you want?"

Silver Coin was stunned: "Ah? Isn't it the Heavenly Kingdom Scepter?"

"Those Druids came first. If they can really grow a thousand catties of grain per mu, the Heavenly Kingdom Scepter can only be given to them. You can choose something else," the Great Sage said.

"No, Great Sage, this is unfair. They can grow a thousand catties per mu, what if we can also grow a thousand catties per mu? What if we grow one thousand and one catties per mu? Does the Heavenly Kingdom Scepter still belong to them?" Silver Coin was unconvinced.

"It's not that easy to grow a thousand catties per mu. As long as your yield per mu is more than theirs, even half a catty more, the Heavenly Kingdom Scepter belongs to you."

"Great, it's a deal," Silver Coin said excitedly.

Just then, the Great Sage suddenly changed his face: "Not good, they are fighting. Actually fighting my guests?! Is there anyone in the Fallen Land who dares not give me face?!"

The Great Sage said angrily, stomping his feet, death aura surging, and a six-horse undead war chariot slowly emerged from the ground, carrying the Great Sage like a black line, speeding toward the end of the horizon, the speed faster than flying.

Looking at the direction the Great Sage left, Silver Coin and Fei Li Ke looked at each other, looking at each other: "Is this the direction we came from?"

"Not good, they are fighting with my lord!"

Ang and Du Binqi and these Druids, and the You Ying guards are fighting. Why are they fighting?

Of course, they took a fancy to that piece of land Ang prepared, the farmland that was leveled, plowed, and buried with base fertilizer. Even from the perspective of a Druid, it was fertile beyond belief.

Since the Great Sage said that the land here can be picked at will, even if it is his grave, he will move it away immediately, then he wants this piece.

So the You Ying guards emerged, landed in front of Huo Er Qiu Ke, and said coldly: "Your land, we have requisitioned it."

They thought this farmland belonged to Huo Er Qiu Ke. No one would think that this farmland was prepared by a skeleton.

Huo Er Qiu Ke was stunned. This farmland is not his. So he hurriedly found Ang and repeated the words of the You Ying guards.

Flames suddenly erupted from Ang's head, and he conjured the Death Scythe and slashed over.

The You Ying guards were also a bit stunned. The Great Sage's requisition, this skeleton actually dared not to follow?

All the You Ying guards appeared and besieged Ang. Seeing this, the little angel rushed up, the little zombie rushed over, Nai Ge Li Si rushed over, and the big cat rushed over.

Big bones also rushed over with teeth and claws: "Don't, fight, they are the Great Sage's guards."

Is it "don't" or "fight"? Big bones' words made everyone feel very confused. ===== CHAPTER 236 =====
