The Church of the Mask of the Void is very efficient. Only half an hour later, Milomon, who received the oracle, found Creek to discuss the cultivation of medicinal herbs.
After hearing what he said, Creek was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he was overjoyed.
Not to mention that this matter can strengthen the relationship between the Keen family and the Church of the Mask of the Void and make them closer to each other. The cultivation of medicinal herbs itself has great benefits.
The huge harvest in Baron Keen is too eye-catching. You can still get by with tricks for a year or two, but something will happen after a long time. It's like a child holding a big gold ingot and walking alone on an unfamiliar street. All he needs to do is hang a banner with the word "seeking death" written on it.
Therefore, even if there are no herbs to grow, Creek has already considered adjusting the territory's agricultural planting plan, reducing the area planted to food, and freeing up land for other crops.
He had previously considered planting fruit trees, and the fruit harvest would be just that, not too eye-catching. Moreover, fruit trees require much less manpower than grains, which can save a lot of manpower for other work.
But fruit trees also have disadvantages. From cultivation to harvest, it takes several years to grow. It is not advisable to use magic to reduce the fruit during this period, otherwise it will reduce the quality of the fruit. If a large amount of farmland in the territory is converted into fruit trees, agricultural income will be very tight in the next few years.
As for vegetables, the transportation level in this world is very tragic. Vegetables, which are inconvenient to transport and low in price, can only be produced and sold where they are, and they cannot do business at all. Perhaps some production can be appropriately increased to improve the living standards of the people in the territory, but it cannot be used as a dominant factor.
In fact, fruits are similar, but fruit trees can produce nuts, which are very convenient for transportation, and even fruits that are not conducive to transportation can be used to brew fruit wine, which is also a good way out.
Speaking of fruit wine, grain can also be used to make wine. It’s just that although this can solve the problem of too much food harvest, it can’t avoid being spied on, so I forget it.
This was Crick's original plan, but now it seems that he has a better choice.
When growing medicinal herbs, on the one hand, the harvest is relatively small. Even though the price of medicinal herbs is high, at least it is not as eye-catching as the huge piles of food. Secondly, growing medicinal herbs is of great benefit to the people and society. As long as it becomes large-scale, it can create a "protect medicinal field" "This sign can attract many kind and honest people to help him; finally, through this matter, he can improve the status of Baron Keen in the Void Mask Church's circle of influence, making it easier to get help at critical moments.
Overall, it has all the benefits and no harm, it’s perfect!
Of course, if we take it seriously, there are still some harms. For example, doing this would be tantamount to tying the Keen leader to the chariot of the Church of the Void. If there are enemies who want to be enemies with the Church of the Void in the future, they may use Geerten, who is the chosen one of the God of Knowledge. There is nothing we can do about it, maybe there is nothing we can do about Gars City where Prince Leon Igor, the legendary peak powerhouse "King of the Seaside", is sitting, but there is definitely something we can do about Keen - that is to say, once someone asks Void Mask in the future When the church attacks, Keenland will most likely bear the brunt.
But this "harm" is really nothing. Anyway, the current situation of Keenland is not much better. Not to mention the future, His Majesty the Grand Duke is eyeing this hurdle right now. I don't know if it can be overcome properly. !
If you tie yourself to the chariot of the Church of the Mask of the Void, you may indeed be in great danger in the future, but at least you can avoid the immediate crisis.
This is enough, it’s urgent, let’s look at the present first!
So he agreed to Milomon's proposal and immediately started planning the medicine field.
First of all, medicinal fields should have convenient transportation to facilitate the picking and storage of medicinal materials.
Secondly, the medicinal field should be clean and tidy, and the interior should be organized in small pieces to facilitate planting and maintenance.
Also, it is best to build medicine fields in eye-catching places to distract the attention of other territories and divert everyone's attention from the "unusual harvest in Baron Keen".
As for other factors, there are many more, and he listed them all one by one.
After listing these factors that needed to be considered, he studied them against the map of Keen Territory.
Places close to mountains and rivers are not acceptable because they need to be protected from damage from wild beasts, monsters, floods and other natural and man-made disasters.
It is not possible to place it too close to the road. The dust may affect the quality of the medicinal materials.
Places where the terrain is not flat and open enough will not work. It must be convenient for the farmers to work.
After careful consideration, he finally marked out several areas on the map and selected them as tentative targets.
The next day, Masked Void Church sent a high-level mage. This mage's name is Felix. He had a good record in the first World's Best Martial Arts Tournament. He is known as the "Speeding Archer". He is best at using a wand to launch various ray-type spells. It is said that he is extremely biased towards Practical mage advancement.
Creek naturally observed her attributes and was shocked at first sight. Special bloodline, intelligence 20, charisma 18, perception 16, agility 16, constitution 14... In addition to slightly lower strength, this woman The mage is simply a superman!
And her levels are also very cool, including ranger, warlock, ancient spirit warlock, and magic gunner, totaling nineteen levels in total.
Creek wanted to know, what exactly were the "ancient spiritual warlock" and the "magic gunner"? He has never heard of such a profession!
However, although they had a favorable impression of 60%, they were not friends after all, and it was not easy for him to rashly ask such a question that he knew was personal at first glance, so he could only suppress his curiosity for the time being.
Master Felix brought a set of detailed information, which not only included the identification and cultivation of various medicinal herbs, but also the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. It specifically mentions twenty-one germs that cause common symptoms, introduces the nuances of their symptoms and specific diagnostic methods, and also introduces methods to prevent infection and treat them. In particular, eight of the pathogens have a complete and reliable treatment plan. Crick didn't know medical skills, but just looking at this set of plans, he felt that they would definitely be effective.
"This information... is too valuable!" He said a little uneasily.
"This is the research result of a master of our church." Master Felix said, "How many generations of his ancestors have spent more than a thousand years on research, and finally he achieved initial success in his generation. He has obtained these results. But he does not want to treasure his research results like those narrow-minded old men, but hopes to spread them so that more people can benefit from them."
Crick was immediately in awe, and in his heart he placed Master Arcane Pasteur, who signed this document, as a medical saint among thousands of families. If he were on earth, perhaps just by relying on this With this piece of information, this master is enough to compete with Zhang Zhongjing for the title of "Medical Saint", or compete with that ancient European doctor with a long name for the right to have future generations of doctors swear by his portrait.
"I will definitely keep this information properly and choose outstanding talents to study it!" he said seriously.
Master Felix smiled with satisfaction and added: "Actually, our church is planning to build a medical school. If you are interested, you can send some people to study. But it is best to send people with some magic talents, because we The medical school not only teaches medicine, but also teaches diagnostic and therapeutic spells—mainly divine spells. So if you don’t mind, we can train them to become priests who believe in our Lord’s Void Mask.”
Creek couldn't help but open his eyes wide, raised the corners of his mouth, and laughed.
"Of course I don't mind! Please wait a few days and I will start selecting talents in the territory!"
After seeing off Master Felix, he couldn't help but jump up and cheered.
"marvelous!"
The Church of Masked Void is really kind in its work. Not only does it provide information, it also helps train doctors. Not only that, they are even willing to help train pastors!
Although the priests who believe in the Mask of the Void are trained, a priest is a priest! As a spellcaster who is good at healing, no territory would have too many priests! The more the merrier!
Creek has long wanted to train some spellcasters, but it is very difficult to train spellcasters. Mages need a long time and a lot of cost to learn, warlocks need special talent and blood, priests need to be inspired by gods... Others The spellcaster profession also has various stringent requirements.
Perhaps for experienced adventurers, these difficulties can be overcome. Many experienced adventurers will try to learn some spellcasting abilities. But for ordinary civilians, these requirements are like a chasm that cannot be crossed, and they have stumped countless people.
Now that the opportunity is at hand, Crick must seize it. Perhaps these commoners in the territory are not talented enough to become excellent priests. But even if you can only train a few doctors who are proficient in magic for the territory, it is still a huge success!
You know, in most baronies, it is already great to have two or three low-level priests. Even if the students he selected could only reach that level, it would be enough to make other barons jealous.
Not to mention...Crick is very confident in his "vision". The key attribute of a priest is perception, followed by intelligence, and then charm. He only needs to select young people with higher these three attributes and give them With enough support, they will be able to achieve success in their studies and come back to benefit their hometown.
Maybe they are also talented and show their talents in the Church of Masked Void, and then soar into the sky and become mid-level or even high-level priests!
Thinking of this, Crick couldn't help but giggle...
