Chapter 223 Lucian's Wish
The emerald green color is like a long skirt inlaid with leaves, fresh and refined, but Estine's expression is not like that, she looked at Lucian with a frosty face and said: "Mr. Evans, how is your analysis of the two magical arts 'Thorns' and 'Harvest Source'? I see that the arcanists in other research groups have made progress and are starting to find simplified ways to combine it with growing oats, peas, and other grains. Are you a Holm Crown Prize winner, and the famous 'Elemental Order' is not as good as them? It is said that there are many mid-level arcanists inside!"
Her tone was almost questioning, suspecting that Lucian was either perfunctory delaying his brother and sister, or he didn't have the ability to match his reputation at all, just a guy who got the Holm Crown Award by luck!
Theodore and Julian became vigilant, worried that Exilion and Estine would suddenly attack and break away from this "arcane research group".
Lucian pushed down his glasses with chains on the gold thread rim and replied "meticulously": "Princess Estine, because the magic mark you provided is incomplete, I am slow to progress. Other mid-level arcanists can start planting experiments so quickly, maybe the druids in charge of their group have 'good arcane talent' and can draw complete magic marks, do you think so?"
The words are sarcastic but seem serious, and they don't understand human feelings.
"Even so, as a Holm Crown Medal winner, you won't have no clue!" After a few seconds of being speechless, Exilion still asked undeadly.
Fearing that further perfunctory blame would arouse the suspicion and strong backlash of Exilion and Elestien, Lucian put away the paper on which he practiced the basics of mathematics and replied seriously: "Of course, I have analyzed some of the principles after three days of research, 'Thorns' stimulates the inside of shrubs and plants and directly uses magical energy to simulate a few elements to promote plant growth, while 'Harvest Source' stimulates plant cells while extracting nutrients from the soil to supply its needs, causing the soil to lose a lot of nutrients but cannot be replenished. So the former consumes more power from your natural heart and less from the latter, the former does not damage the soil and the latter does."
"As for which nutrients or elements are extracted, because the divine imprint is incomplete, I can't analyze it."
"You, have you analyzed it to this extent?" Although they had questioned it before, after hearing Lucian's answer, Arestine and Exilion were still a little unconvinced, relying on the incomplete divine magic mark and only three days to almost analyze the construction principles of these two divine techniques?
Lucian smiled slightly: "Didn't you question my Holm Crown Award just now as a fluke?"
Even the next day, the three great arcanists and Ravendi and other authoritative high-level arcanists analyzed the construction principles of most of the low-level divine arts, and began to concentrate on sensing and exploring the so-called "natural will", analyzing and studying what it is, what it consists of, why it responds to the druid's request, and why it can provide divine magic.
This was a difficult and esoteric topic, so the task of Mafurion's request - to build magic using the parsed principles and then simplify the refining of alchemical items that could be popularized was handed over to other advanced and intermediate arcanists. Otherwise, this kind of project can be undertaken by a few great arcanists themselves, and it can be carried out completely secretly, without the need to draw so many arcanists to cooperate.
The analyzed principles of divine magic allowed Lucian to affirm that ordinary plants in this world still need nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc., while the needs of magical plants are much more complex.
"Mr. Evans, since you have analyzed it, why don't you tell us?" Blocked by Lucian's words, Exilion quickly changed the subject.
Lucian had a puzzled and puzzled expression: "Because it was only analyzed last night, I haven't had time to tell you two yet. In fact, even if you can't come, I will go to you, and then we will go to the field to conduct experiments to determine which elements are needed for the growth of oats and other grains."
In view of the incomplete divine magic mark he obtained, Lucian would certainly not directly tell them which elements were the main ones, and the planting experiment was time-consuming, making it a necessary choice for delay and perfunctory.
Seeing Lucian's expression, the doubts in Arestine and Exilion disappeared slightly, and they followed him to the side of a hundred acres of land in the east of the town.
Lucian casually drew out an acre of fertile land and ordered: "Mr. Theodore, Mr. Julian, please determine the content of various elements in this soil."
The magic to determine the elemental content is the second ring, Theodore and Yurian are battle mages, and neither of them built it in their souls to assist in magic experiments, so when they released it, they needed to recite spells, and they needed to use the corresponding purified elements as casting materials, and determined them one by one, and it took nearly two hours to completely record the various elemental contents of this soil.
"Since we have only discovered 67 elements so far, we can only determine these, and there may be elements that plants such as oats need but we have not yet discovered." As a "qualified" arcanist, Lucian naturally had to explain the premise of the experiment, and then instructed the farmers to sow oats according to their years of experience.
When the farmers were busy and in the steep cold wind, Lucian said to the two elves: "Your Highness, Your Highness, please use the Harvest Source Divine Technique to let these oats sprout, grow and mature."
A faint green light flew out of Estine, enveloping the acre. It didn't take long for the oats to grow seedlings. Then Exilion and Estine alternately cast the "Harvest Source" twice, finally making this acre of oats truly "harvest" in ten minutes!
The apprentice druid must use apprentice-level divine magic for at least a month in a row to achieve this effect.
"Mr. Theodore and Mr. Julian, please determine the content of each element in the soil now." As the leader of the experimental team, Lucian naturally has the right not to do anything.
Looking at the busy Theodore and Julian, looking at the oats in the harvest scene, Elsteen said with some confusion and hatred: "I am not against humans hunting for survival, but since you humans can grow food and have food to survive, why do you eat meat for the sake of hunting animals? Every year, a large number of cute animals that have not yet entered the natural cycle are killed by you humans in a showy manner, so that they are decreasing day by day."
After saying that, she looked at Lucian with serious eyes: "Mr. Evans, it's not that you can't afford to buy bread and vegetarian food, why do you still eat meat? Without people like you who enjoy eating meat, many animals would not die en masse."
Lucian said absentmindedly: "Because our body structure is different from that of elves, and most of the meat is raised on the manor. Also, if any animal is on the verge of extinction, then tell me, I will promote their protection, not because I pity them, for me, except for intelligent creatures, unless I feed them all the time, there will be no similar emotions, but to protect the diversity of living things, indirectly protect ourselves."
Estine understood most of Lucian's "nonsense" words and was completely desperate of him: "In short, you just refuse to give up your dirty desire to enjoy."
Lucian didn't answer, but stared blankly at the harvest of oats in front of him, most of the human beings in this world can't even get enough to eat, survival and development are the first priority.
Lucian has a good impression of Malfurion, an elven druid, and just looking for ways to increase food production that he can promote is a commendable thing, no less than the ancient magical empire that overthrew the ancient magical empire that enslaved mankind in the first place.
Although Lucian was cautious and prioritized his own strength and safety, under this premise, he still raised his hands and feet in favor of this feat that could save countless people, admired it from the bottom of his heart, and was willing to make his own contribution to it.
"In the words of the previous life, this is called immeasurable merit, and ten thousand families give birth to Buddhas." Lucian himself joked, and letting the lower society enjoy the benefits of magic is also a good way to shake the foundation of the church's faith, although slow and inconspicuous, but real. At the same time, the increase in food production is also a good thing for nobles and magicians who own manors to increase their wealth, and no one will refuse, "According to the regulations of the Magic Council, I am afraid this will also bring a considerable and steady stream of income to those who find it."
After arriving in this magical world, Lucian's least accustomed thing is the change in living conditions, except for being a little better in Alinge, there is no other convenience and colorful on earth.
If you are strong enough and do not reveal secrets, then why not try to promote the development of human society and change the world in the direction you want?
Lucian suddenly had a beautiful and magnificent but difficult wish in his heart, but he quickly came back to his senses and suppressed the little "ambition" brought about by the druid research project.
"Mr. Evans, after determination, the missing elements are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and a small amount of ......," Theodore and Julian walked back to report to Lucian.
Lucian nodded: "After that, we will collect different substances containing these elements to see which ones can be absorbed by oats and other things, so as to simplify magic and alchemy design. And we divided part of the test field to study the symptoms of the lack of different elements. Your Highness the Prince and Your Highness the Princess, please cooperate."
Other experimental groups led by elemental magicians should start similar experiments, but who can discover the secret of chemical fertilizers?
It is not difficult to make simple chemical fertilizers, just treat phosphate ore with sulfuric acid, and design a magic circle to produce sulfuric acid stably is the result of the Magic Council now, but why this treatment can be absorbed by plants, the principle involves a university question. Without theoretical guidance and relying solely on experimental exploration, Lucian was not very optimistic about their progress.
The former has been put on the agenda by the Magic Council due to drought and other factors, and the latter involves knowledge that Lucian's current strength does not dare to take out, and there are magical creatures in this world, which may not be suitable, and a lot of experiments are needed to verify.
…………
Holy City of Reims, Great Hall of Light.
A knight wearing silver and white armor knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, the Magic Council is trying to explore the realm of God, this is the greatest blasphemy, I would like to request the start of the Second Dawn War and an all-out attack on the Magic Council!"
