Elf Farmer

??

There was obviously a slight coolness on Liat's fingertips, but Elvi felt as if the place touched by her fingertips was on fire - hot and hot.

After confirming Elvi's body temperature, Liat withdrew her hand. She waved the staff in her hand: "Let's go, let me show you how this staff looks more beautiful, hahahaha."

Alvey followed Liat into the small courtyard with his arms stiffened, and then he watched helplessly as the extremely luxurious-looking magic wand turned into a hoe—a hoe? !

Liat laughed loudly: "Isn't it beautiful!"

Alvy: "...Is it Granny Margaret?"

"Hahaha, you guessed it right!" Liat picked up the hoe and turned around: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it either at the beginning!"

"Yes, yes, please help me see if these green leafy vegetables can be eaten after they bloom." Liat put down the hoe, took out all the cauliflowers he picked from the storage ring, and held them in his hands. Show it to Alvey.

Alvey looked at it carefully: "These are cabbage, petals, butter lettuce, and round-leaf komatatsu. These green leafy vegetables can still be eaten when they bloom, but the taste is not that good. You can eat the petals at this time, these The petals are great for making sweet tea or desserts. If you want to save seeds, you can also leave two flowers to set seeds."

Liat looked at the bright and large cauliflower flowers in his palm: "Are these flowers edible?"

Alvi nodded: "Everything is edible." He thought of something and added, "Wash it before you eat it."

"I think these flowers are very clean." Liat said, but she still used a cleaning magic. Then she handed one of her hands to Alvi and handed him a few flowers in her hand, " Well, we’ll share half of it when we meet.”

Alvi bent his eyes and smiled: "Okay, we'll share half of it when we meet."

After sending away Alvy, who was in an inexplicably good mood, Liat first went to the vegetable patch full of flowers to pick the flowers. She left two or three flowers of each green leafy vegetable to set seeds.

After Liat finished picking the flowers, she felt that her body was filled with the fragrance of flowers.The flowers do smell nice and sweet.Liat pulled off a petal and tasted it, and he could indeed taste the sweetness. But he didn't know what kind of dessert these flowers could be used for - I would ask Alvey when he came back on his day off.

After picking the flowers, Liat went out to the commercial street - she had to find the carpenter to continue building her own bed.

Walking on the commercial street, Liat was a little surprised to find that none of the shops on both sides of the street were open.

Like bakeries, alchemy workshops, taverns, barber shops, etc., no matter which time Liat came to the commercial street, the doors of these shops were closed - Liat felt that no one was really opening these shops.

But today, even Hannah's mother-in-law's tailor shop and Sophia's grocery store were not open, which was strange.

Liat walked into the commercial street, and she soon saw that the commercial street was full of tractor-trailers.She glanced twice and felt that the total number of pull carts on both sides of the street must be more than 20 at least.

Each of these carts was piled high with lumber.Liat walked along the carts, which were stacked with piles of lumber, and noticed that the carts were lined up all the way to the front of the furniture store.

When Liat walked to the front of the furniture store, she found a group of people surrounding the cart unloading goods. In addition to the ants from the fire ant transportation team that Liat had seen before, there were also many giant squirrel tribes. Among the orcs, the particularly conspicuously tall Hood couple Liat could be seen from a distance.

In addition to the Hoods, Liat also saw a little girl with an equally conspicuous height - Doris, the carpenter's apprentice who said she could get a [-]% discount.

Liat saw this short-haired girl when she went to the commercial street for the first time. Since then, Liat has not seen her again. It was only yesterday that she heard Doris's name from Sophia. ——The Mia who went to the city to work as a maid and was injured and passed out on the street was brought back from the city by Doris.Liat felt that Doris represented the furniture store in dealing with customers in the city, so he often didn't see her.

The first person to spot Liat was Uncle Hood. Almost as soon as Liat came over, Uncle Hood, who was carrying wood on his shoulders, looked up and saw that it was Liat. He smiled and said After greeting, the ant warriors raised their heads and looked over warily.

Liat walked over and helped carry two pieces of wood. She followed Uncle Hood and walked forward. The two of them walked to the end of the commercial street. Then Liat saw two or three people in the open space in front of the furniture store. A hill of timber.

After asking Uncle Hood, Liat found out that these woods were prepared for building water-pumping windmills.

The town of Lockleli is located in the Lockleli Plain. The Larakuma River on the plain passes through the entire town. Therefore, in terms of terrain, the town of Lockleli is relatively low and gentle, which is okay during the dry season. Problem, but once the rainy season enters, the town is easily flooded by swollen rivers.In order to deal with this situation, the residents of the town chose to build water-pumping windmills——

Before the rainy season, they would set up huge water-pumping windmills at regular intervals along the river.

When the rainy season begins, these pumping windmills will start working. They will pump out the rising river water and discharge it into the sea through the pumping canals dug in advance.

Liat understood the principle, but their current approach made Liat very confused: "Will the water-pumping windmills in last year's rainy season not be used this year? If we need to build new water-pumping windmills in this year's rainy season, then when the rainy season is over, won't we? Do we have to dismantle the water pumping windmill again? It feels quite troublesome."

Uncle Hood unloaded the wood on his shoulders and stacked it with the wood on the ground. Then he walked in the direction of pulling the cart and explained to Liat: "The rainy season does not just rain. At the end of the rainy season, hail will fall for many days, so the water-pumping windmills do not need to be dismantled. The hail at the end of the rainy season will directly smash the water-pumping windmills."

Liat was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Can a windmill be smashed? If that person was outside, he would be dead!"

Uncle Hood nodded: "When the rainy season starts, everyone won't go out much. When it's about to hail, everyone will hide in the basement and wait until the hail is over before coming out. When they can come out, that's it. It’s time to fix the house.”

"But I don't remember living in a basement." Liat recalled carefully. She was sure that she had never lived in a basement when she was a child - in fact, she had never been in the basement of her home.

"The rainy season hadn't started to rain in the town when you were a kid. It only started in recent years. If Aunt Margaret hadn't warned us in advance and the mayor insisted that everyone live in the basement, there might have been fatalities. ." Uncle Hood said with some emotion.

Grandma indeed used prophecy magic, Liat thought silently.

Following Uncle Hood back to the cart, Liat looked around at the busy orcs, and she saw many familiar faces inside -

Sophia was standing on the car helping the ants unload the goods together; Buck not only carried the wood himself, but his dog was also idle, and Podgers was tied to a small cart pulling the wood; Granny Hannah Not strong enough, she was dragging a big log forward slowly; Olina and the tree elf Olivia were still sitting in their wheelchairs, but they were not idle either. They took little Ella and Several children in the town, carrying towels, cups and kettles, were walking among the crowd, and from time to time handed people towels to wipe sweat and soup to quench their thirst...

"Does this happen every year?" Liat asked.

Uncle Hood put the wood on his shoulders and nodded: "It's like this every year."

"Have you never considered using a magic defense shield?" Liat couldn't help but ask.

Uncle Hood laughed: "That would require too many magic gems, Little Leah. The water-pumping windmill is very, very big. If we want the water-pumping windmills in the entire town to be protected by magic shields, we A small magic gemstone mine must be dug out every year. The level of the magic shield that can withstand such a heavy hailstorm will definitely not be very low, but the one with the best magic talent in the town is Alvi, and Little Leah You also know that he is just a cook, so where can we find a magic shield? We don’t know how to draw a magic circle ourselves."

Liat scratched his hair: "That's true, but I'm coming back this year. I'll see if I can draw a large magic circle then."

Thinking of something, Liat looked at his magic powder reserves in the storage ring: "You guys wait for me, I'll go back and get the staff, and I'll try to see if I can use magic to help move it."

"Little Leah, wait a minute -" Uncle Hood quickly wanted to stop her, but Leah was tall and long-legged and ran very fast, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Liat quickly went home and got the hoe-shaped magic wand left by her grandmother.This magic wand Liat was only used to weed and clear the ground. She was not sure whether it could be used to perform magic, but now she could only use it as a doctor. After all, she didn't have much magic powder reserves on hand. , if you have a magic wand, the consumption of magic powder will be greatly reduced.

When Liat came back with the staff, there was another hill of wood in front of the furniture store. It seemed that everyone was moving it not too slowly, but the wood on the cart didn't seem to be much less. After all, the fire ant transport team came here. The cart took up half of the commercial street.

Seeing Liat walking over with the staff in his arms, Uncle Hood quickly stopped her: "Today's wood is not all for us. The wood will be brought here every day in the next few days. You can't use magic every day. Besides, little Leah, you can use magic to help everyone when you are here. If you are no longer in the town one day, it will not be good if everyone is used to relying on you."

Liat didn't think so long term. Although what Uncle Hood said was very reasonable, but - "I've come back, and I will definitely not leave again."

Uncle Hood just smiled but said nothing.

It's not that Liat can't understand it - after all, she is a magician who has lived in the metropolis for a long time. In addition, she is still young. Now she returns to the small town because her magic core has ruptured. Seeing that she can now release it normally. With magic, it would be normal for her to leave the town and go to the Magic City one day - but she really has no plans to go back.

Uncle Hood has indeed considered it very comprehensively. Thinking about it from another perspective, even if she does not plan to leave the town, she can use magic to help everyone while she is alive, but what happens when she dies?Orc magicians are rare. Instead of counting on magic, it is better to rely on your own hands.

Liat understood this very well, but she wanted to make her own bed as soon as possible. If the carpenters and others were busy moving wood, who could teach her how to make a bed?So let her use magic to save everyone some time today!

Liat's reason was very legitimate and sufficient. After hearing this, Uncle Hood smiled and went to find the mayor.

Soon the mayor organized everyone to suspend the moving work and make room for Liat.

After once again confirming that her magic powder reserves were sufficient, Liat stood in front of the cart and closed her eyes. She raised her staff with one hand and the magic powder with the other, and began to chant a spell——
