Closing remarks: Peace prevails!
Bay Town.
Sewer District.
The expected foul smell did not hit them; the and tidy underground passages were as well-maintained as the streets above.
Apart from a faint fishy st, what intrigued Elona most were the tireless kobolds at work.
They carried baskets of dirt, with digging tools strapped to their hands and waists, looking nothing like the vicious creatures she had imagined.
Their busy figures captured Elona’s attention.
"This way!"
Matthew’s clear voice jolted Elona awake, and she followed him with Yaya and Guoguo in her arms.
The further they went, the wider the passage became.
A faint cool breeze blew through, carrying an increasingly strong st of earth and a fishy smell.
A tall, slightly gaunt kobold led the way, followed by a rge group of kobolds.
Their fierce aura made Elona nervous until they k respectfully, shouting in unison:
"Greetings, great master! Your majesty is like the radiant sun..."
Looking at Yaya in her arms, who was sternly anding them to stand, Elona found her oddly adorable.
Matthew waved to Silver-Fang and the others, assessing their intelligeer the dragon blood infusion, and poio the passage ahead, saying:
"We’re beh the northern part of Bay Town, about two meters underground. This is where the territory’s konjac is grown."
Elona was familiar with konjac.
She had cooked steamed konjac before and fondly remembered its sweet taste.
Guoguo, in particur, loved eating this magical pnt.
Not only did it taste good, but it was also highly nutritious.
However, Elona hadn’t realized that konjac was grown underground, especially at such a depth.
She instinctively reached out to touch Guoguo, who fpped her wings and whispered in her ear:
"Konjac is a low-level magical pnt."
"Eating it eutralize minor toxins and be used in some basic potions."
"The leaves enjoy sunlight, and it requires nutrient-rich areas, but burying it underground helps absorb elements."
Though Guoguo’s voice was quiet, Matthew heard it clearly and led Elona to a nearby wall.
Silver-Faly peeled away the surface soil, revealing a rge clump of konjac embedded in the dirt.
Matthew plucked a rge konjad ha to the curious Elona, smiling softly:
"Guoguo is right. That’s why we pnt konjaderground."
"Konjac has det eic value, so we o grow it on a rge scale ierritory."
"It ot only provide nutrients for professionals but also be used in potion making."
Elona blinked curiously, reag out to touch the wrinkled surface of the konjac, asking instinctively:
"Konjac is a magical pnt. it survive outside a Druid greenhouse?"
Mattheed his fingers, and a soft light appeared in his palm, gradually illuminating the surrounding tunnels and the soil walls that bore signs of disturbance.
Elona sed her surroundings in disbelief.
She had thought Bay Territory might have a magical pnt cultivation area simir to a "Druid greenhouse," which she believed was where she’d be most useful.
But she had never expected that, without any magical intervention or enviroal trol, the territory had such a vast konjac farm!
"This is unbelievable..."
Guoguo’s eyes widened instinctively, fluttering around for a closer look, muttering to herself:
"Huh? They really didn’t use magic..."
Even the Wisdom Tree in her haed a faint glow, flickering as if in thought.
Using magic to influence such a rge area would require an immense amount of energy.
Elona g the konja her hands and closed her eyes slightly, listening ily.
"Water… gurgling..."
"Soil… whispering…"
"Hungry..."
Along with these faint sounds, a subtle feeling hovered in Elona’s heart.
She thoughtfully reached out to touch the spot where the konjac had been pnted aedly replied:
"Wow, everything the konjaeeds is right here!"
"Lord Matthew, this isn’t naturally , is it?"
Matthew nodded, satisfied, watg as Elona’s pnt knowledge increased by 1 point, firming his suspis were correct. He smiled and said:
"That’s right. Whether it’s location, nutrients, or watering ailization, everything is trolled."
"The goal is to produce konja a rge scale."
"However, there is one dowo this."
Elona’s eyes lit up as she instinctively stroked Guoguo’s head, suddenly realizing:
"Mass cultivation lead to a decrease in quality, so we must regurly cultivate new varieties and tinuously select the best ones!"
Matthew cpped his hands in satisfa, admiring the slightly shy Elona, and said directly:
"Exactly. That’s your ask."
"To help you carry out your work better, I’ll have a rge Druid greenhouse built for you."
"Your first mission is to cultivate konjac of higher quality and yield!"
Elona was shocked by the news, mumbling in disbelief:
"But I’m only a Level 2 Druid. I really do it?"
"Just give it a try. The territory has plenty of funds anyway!"
