Chapter 107

===================

The Elf Queen showed an expression as if she had known this would happen.

"To be honest, I haven't left the forest for so many years, so I don't really remember what the difference is between us and the outside world."

This made Lian Yun so anxious.

Although she knew that the elves had connections with all the major races even before they were isolated, as a natural breeding ground for various plants, they often provided various races with sources of vegetables and plants.

How come there is such a big difference in just a few hundred years?

Lian Yun said helplessly, "You don't know. There are only a few common plants growing outside these days. Moreover, the yield of land has dropped significantly in recent years. The food production in various parts of the continent was just enough to fill the stomachs, but now it's insufficient."

The Queen couldn't help but lean forward.

Can't even eat? Is it so miserable?

Lian Yun recalled Gerry's description of the meal they had eaten before they met and sighed softly. "Before I took over the town, the surrounding villages had always grown parsnips as their staple food. Even vegetables were scarce. But our town recently discovered a new crop—wheat. It can be ground into flour and used to make a variety of foods. The yield and growth cycle are also suitable for use as a staple food. Large-scale production will solve a huge problem."

Just now, she followed the elves around and did not find any wheat plants in the forest, so this thing is rare even in the Elf Forest.

As expected, the Queen nodded and said, "We don't have the wheat you mentioned here, and we don't have any fixed staple food."

Perhaps it is the characteristic of the elves that they can easily feel full, so they pursue more variety and taste when eating.

Berries, fruits, vegetables and the like are enough to meet their daily body needs.

"So what can you make with the flour you're talking about?"

Lian Yun smiled and said, "I can show it to Her Majesty the Queen some other day."

The queen nodded gently. "In that case, feel free to take any seeds you wish from the forest. However, we mostly plant vegetables and fruit trees. Vegetables are fine, but fruit trees probably won't yield any results for several years."

Lian Yun certainly understood this logic. No matter what, being able to bring some new plants to the outside world was a good start.

She probed, "I don't know if this will offend you, but about the plants in the royal botanical garden..."

After all, it also serves as a family cemetery, so it must have some special significance. However, Lian Yun saw rubber trees inside, which were not found anywhere else or even in the entire continent.

This means that these plants may not even be cultivated on a large scale in the Elf Forest, after all, they don't know how to use them.

Hearing this, the queen was silent for a few moments, but she quickly made a decision: "Although I don't know if there is anything valuable in it, if you need it, you can take it."

For the Elf Forest, the botanical garden is originally a place to preserve some rare plants. If she can expand the scale of planting these plants and make the best use of them, it will naturally be a good thing.

Lian Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you don't mind."

Having said that, although the Queen reluctantly understood her potentially thankless task, she still harbored doubts: "The seed problem can be solved, but what about the land? Didn't you just say that the land problem caused a large-scale reduction in production?"

"Indeed. We are also looking for countermeasures."

Improving soil quality is a serious issue. Crops in small towns have the ability to improve the soil, but the process is still very slow.

The Queen paused. "If it were man-made, there would be a way to redeem it. But with a natural disaster like this, I'm afraid... you're powerless to resist the forces of nature."

Lian Yun felt a little nervous when he heard this.

The Elf Queen was older than her, so she could naturally see much farther and more carefully than she could.

The Queen met her eager gaze and, without further delay, said, "You said the land is deteriorating and the monsters are evolving. Do you really think these two things are purely accidental?"

"You mean..."

"What if it is an inevitable trend?" The Queen's tone became serious.

These words made Lian Yun's heart leap with joy.

"The land is deteriorating faster than you can purify it, and the monsters are evolving in a much shorter time than it takes you to lead the various races to build a high wall. Have you ever thought about this?"

Lian Yun blinked blankly.

Has she...thought about it?

From the moment she arrived here, she knew that her identity was the so-called "savior". Almost from the beginning to the end, she was driven by the mission and the environment. She subconsciously believed that as long as she wanted to do it, nothing was impossible.

But she ignored the source of these.

Why did the monsters suddenly begin to evolve, why did the land yield drop sharply, and why must a "savior" come to this world?

The Tree of Life did not tell her this, and Lian Yun thought that it, with only half of its energy, did not know this either.

So where should she find the answer?

The Elf Queen calmed down and said, "I'm just guessing."

"What you said makes sense," Lian Yun calmed down, "I will pay attention to these. If Her Majesty the Queen thinks of anything else, you can tell me and I will keep it in mind."

Seeing that she was much more serious than she had expected, the Queen couldn't help but add, "If there's anything you want to do and I can help, I'll do my best."

Lian Yun nodded seriously and continued, "There's not much our town can offer the elves. We currently have several types of energy stones that, when combined with machines, can be very useful. They can save a lot of manpower and resources, and are convenient and quick. As for food, we now have an edible animal and some crops not found in the Elven Forest."

Food is not very attractive to the elves. The queen is more curious about the "machine" that Lian Yun mentioned.

Lian Yun smiled mysteriously: "This is the most precious thing our town can offer. In our town's library, there is a set of encyclopedias."

Lian Yun knew the moment she got the set of books that these things would be made public one day. She never thought of hiding them, but such things were precious only when they were brought out at this negotiation opportunity.

Lian Yun briefly summarized the contents of the collection, and the Queen showed great interest: "If it is true as you say, this set of books is truly priceless."

The young lady lord in front of her actually controlled such a precious thing, which was completely beyond her imagination.

But if it has such great significance, how could the girl in front of him bear the pain and give it up so easily?

Hearing this, Lina put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "Grandma, you don't know! Sister Lianyun is not stingy at all. As early as the first time we contacted the orcs, sister invited them into the library, where they can freely copy the contents of the books and bring them back to the tribe!"

"My sister said that this is knowledge shared by the entire continent. Anyone who wants to improve themselves can read it."

The queen was in a daze for a long time.

Now she really believed that this girl wanted to protect more than just one race.

She came for the entire continent.

"I don't know, is this enough?" Lian Yun smiled. "Actually, besides this, our town still has a lot of development prospects. Even in a short period of time, there will be great changes."

Lian Yun thought about it, stood up, and clicked on the map.

The queen was startled by the map that appeared out of thin air. When Lian Yun walked in, she was shocked by the panoramic 3D map in her hand.

Lian Salesman Yun tried his best to promote his products. He used two fingers to expand the map, and soon the appearance of the town appeared in front of them.

In fact, Lian Lianyun was also full of surprise.

In just a few days, the town has changed again.

The location where Lian Yuntonggeli originally planned to build a city wall has now begun to take shape, but the wall is bare and not very beautiful.

Lian Yun seemed to have been inspired by something. He turned his head and stared at the cold face close to him, very eagerly: "Do you have any plants that can climb walls here?"

The queen nodded slowly: "Yes, I can take it away for you."

Lian Yun turned around contentedly and continued to show her the appearance of the town.

The fields have been plowed and new seeds sown.

The small plot of land where Meili cultivates new crops has also begun to show results, with various vegetables growing well in each corner. I believe that this part of the task can be completed before Lian Yun returns.

Mining is still going on. Although the mine's location cannot be seen on the map, orcs are returning to unload ore in a corner of the town connected to the mine.

There are also many new faces in the large open spaces of the town.

There were rows of orcs undergoing 911 training with the new immigrants. Perhaps Ford listened to Lian Yun's words and sent a group of orcs for training.

The people who trained with them also got used to their presence. Compared to the previous situation where they couldn't help but want to avoid the orcs when they saw them from afar, Lian Yun can now see that some people are talking to the orcs.

In front of the blacksmith shop, the fiery and passionate Fiona was still working passionately; in front of the pharmacy, there were several pots of flowering herbs on the ground.

The door of the classroom was open. It was break time, and many people took paper and pen to the library inside to study.

Everything is fine, everyone.

“Is this your town?”

The Queen looked around but couldn't see anything special, but for some reason, she thought the picture was beautiful.

Lian Yun also smiled with emotion: "A son does not despise his mother's ugliness, and a dog does not despise his family's poverty. I just think it's very beautiful."

Queen:?

"What did you say just now?" What dog?

Why do girls always say strange things?

"Ahem," Lian Yun said seriously, "I mean, if you had seen the town before, you would have been surprised by how it changed in such a short period of time."

"Is that what you mean?" The Queen looked away suspiciously. "But I don't mean to offend you. This town is quite nice."

It is full of vitality, a rare sight on this dying continent.

Succubus, dwarf, orc, magician...

What a colorful town.

The queen nodded slightly and said, "I hope that one day I can see the elves in this small town."
