After obtaining the rose elf Tina, Krober's second goal of this trip can be officially declared completed.
He led his soldiers to search the entire "basin", not only to look for elves, but also to check whether there were any mineral deposits.
If so, it means that one of the two dragons in the battle must be a mineral dragon or a gem dragon. If not, it means that the elemental dragon is more likely.
After searching for a long time, Kroeber found no trace of any minerals.
Many dragon blood plants were found, but only three of them could give birth to elves.
Krober speculated that these dragon blood plants must have given birth to elf bugs in the past, but failed to evolve into elves.
And the price of failure is death.
In fact, looking at the life of an elf.
Kroeber believes that the "juvenile stage" of the elf bug is more appropriately called the "juvenile stage", and the process of evolving from an elf bug to an elf can be called "metamorphosis".
Transformation is cruel and difficult.
The failed Elf Bug will lose everything, and only the Elf Bug that persists and succeeds can evolve into a Pokémon.
Elves that have successfully transformed can be called in the "growth stage". Elves at this stage already have a certain degree of autonomy, just like human children.
Moreover, there is no risk of death in the process of evolving from a small elf to a big elf.
As long as enough magic power is accumulated and the body's nutrition is also good, the probability of being promoted to a great elf can reach about 50%.
Even if it fails, it will only lose some vitality. After rest, there is still a possibility of evolving again.
As for the Great Elves, Krober calls it "maturity", which corresponds to the state of adulthood in humans.
The big elves possess many mysteries that the small elves do not have.
For example, magic, speaking human language, and from mind to body, their appearance is almost the same as that of humans.
Most importantly, the Great Elves have freedom.
Whether it is an elf worm or a small elf, they cannot leave their Cordyceps too far away, but it is different for the big elves. The Cordyceps is no longer a constraint for them. Even if the Cordyceps is destroyed, they will not be affected too much.
After making blood contracts with the three elf insects one by one, Krober finally achieved his goal.
These three elves are the cardamom elf, the fennel elf and the sweet potato elf.
Among them, Krober had already obtained a Cardamom Elf Bug before, and this new Elf Bug looked similar to the first one.
The fennel elf worm is a green elf worm, but the dragon blood mark on its body is very small, only a little bit at the front end.
What attracted Krober's attention the most was the sweet potato elf worm. Currently, Krober only had three crop elf worms.
The Pea Elf Bug and the Black Feather Grass Elf Bug that were obtained from the pirate spoils before, and the only thing left is the Sweet Potato Elf Bug in front of him.
Although fennel is edible, its size is not as large as that of the sweet potato elf worm, so it can only be eaten as an ordinary vegetable or seasoning.
This is even more true for cardamom. Strictly speaking, it is not even considered an ingredient. Kroeber classifies it as a medicinal herb.
It is mainly used to treat diseases such as indigestion or vomiting.
Its economic value is far greater than its edible value.
However, the population in Krober's territory has increased dramatically, and the ability to obtain high-yield and filling sweet potatoes as the main crop is indeed a great help.
This can be considered a pleasant surprise.
Moreover, sweet potatoes themselves have extremely strong vitality and are extremely difficult to grow.
In Kroeber's previous life, there was a saying that "one crop of sweet potatoes provides half a year's food."
————
After signing the contract, Krober left the basin with his group in satisfaction.
This basin has become a forbidden area in his heart. Not only does it contain dragon blood plants, but it also hides information about one or even two dragons.
Once the construction of the Holy Beast Island is on track, he will definitely ask a specialized earth magician to investigate whether there are any mineral deposits underground.
If so, Kroeber would have made a killing.
From the general information he knew and Tina's condition, the dragon blood it absorbed definitely came from a purple gem dragon or an amethyst dragon.
Apart from this, Krober could not think of any other dragon species.
Krober put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and refocused his thoughts on this mission.
After careful consideration and planning, Kroeber has successfully achieved half of the four mission objectives he had previously set.
Once he returns to camp, he will be able to begin preparations for and execute his third goal—conquering the griffin tribe on the island in the center of the lake on Sacred Beast Island.
There is no doubt that this is also the goal that Marquis Daniel pays the most attention to and values in this war.
Everyone returned along the same route and arrived back at the camp before dark. At this time, the teams that were ordered to survey the terrain of the island and draw maps also returned.
After a whole day of hard work, they had roughly grasped the situation of half of the Holy Beast Island, and completed the mapping of the western half of the island, using the island in the lake where the griffin tribe lived as the boundary.
After placing the drawn map on the table, everyone began to discuss how to contact this group of unfamiliar griffins.
If possible, neither Krober nor Marquis Daniel wanted to use force to force the griffin tribe.
After all, griffins are creatures with extremely high self-esteem, and even regard dignity as more important than life.
As a magical beast with high intelligence, if luck is good, it is possible to evolve into a mythical beast. Even if Daniel and Krober really defeat them, these griffins will probably not surrender easily.
