The Elven Survival Handbook.

The reaction of the man who drank the seawater was so great that the supervisor almost cursed him when he saw it. However, seeing how uncomfortable he looked, he suppressed his words, curled his lips, and asked him to go aside and drink some water to rinse his mouth.

In the end, I couldn't help but curse: "It's not like I didn't give you water to drink. I dare to touch anything with my mouth, and I'm not afraid of drinking you to death."

The workers didn't let him talk. In fact, they had a pretty good impression of these supervisors. Although these people were very cruel, they never raised a finger, unlike some people who didn't treat the people in their slums as human beings at all. In the past, Workers work part-time jobs outside. They work from early to late at night and are very tired. If they do something bad, they will be scolded or even beaten by their employers. In comparison, the supervisors who are just harsh-mouthed but not scolded or obedient or take action are simply adorable. .

Although these people who were sent to supervise the work were just low-level officials, they were actually carefully selected. They were of good character and their attitudes towards ordinary civilians were not as harsh as those who were born into aristocratic families. Otherwise, they would not be as harsh as those who were born into noble families. It is not their turn to work for the elves.

After the aquariums assigned to their area were almost transplanted, everyone squatted directly next to the plants to have lunch. A shade shed had been built here a few days ago. Compared with other places, This place with a shade shed and watering for several days is much cooler.

The supervisor hired a nearby woman to make lunch. Although there were only tasteless flatbreads and soup stewed with mutton bones, the workers were happy enough to be able to eat as much as they wanted without paying.

The supervisors moved tables and chairs to sit at a table. Their food was better, including meat, vegetables and wine. The workers were greedy, so they ate it with big cakes while watching, and occasionally drank some meat with it. The delicious lamb bone soup is like eating meat.

Their work is not finished yet. After eating, they have to build a supporting framework for the water pitchers, so that the newly transplanted fat ones that have not yet taken root will be accidentally blown by the wind.

Then they have to water a few more times, and then find some hay to cover the top soil to reduce evaporation and ensure the survival of these plants.

Although the supervisors did not disclose it, they themselves knew that these tasks were issued from the palace, so they were very careful about these plants, fearing that if one died, they would have to move their heads.

After all this work is done, the subsequent care and maintenance will not require so many manpower. While the supervisors are settling wages for these people, they also tell those workers who they observed to be diligent and experienced before leaving later.

"These will need to be taken good care of in the future, and people will have to keep watch overnight. However, the workload is relatively small, so the wages will be less than today. If you are willing to do it, just stay and listen to us about the arrangements."

Those who were selected were naturally overjoyed. It was not easy to find a job in the slums. Even if the salary was half less than today, it was long-term and stable. It even included a meal. It was not impossible to work hard and support the family.

Those who were not selected were very jealous. When they heard that there would be follow-up work, they immediately gathered around the supervisors to recommend themselves. They only said that they could endure hardship better, and it would not matter if their salary was smaller.

The scene was a bit chaotic for a while. The one who was scolding them in the first place got tired of the noise and simply stood on the table and yelled at them: "Why are you making noise? There will be a lot of work in the future. If you dare to make trouble again, don't come to me."

The workers became quiet and did not dare to say anything.

The supervisor pointed at two people casually: "You two are responsible for keeping vigil tonight. I tell you, you have to take care of these plants. If one is missing, all of us will be dead."

He was deliberately trying to scare these people so that they would not have any evil thoughts, but it was also a warning.

He still felt that it was not safe when two people were sent to keep watch, so he immediately decided that he had to keep watch to feel at ease.

This happened in many parts of the slums.

The attitude of the supervisors towards these plants was really difficult to avoid attracting attention, so early the next morning, people came to see these strange-looking plants again.

The supervisors, who had been holding back for a long time, finally unveiled the mystery of Aquarius after confirming that enough people came to see it.

In front of everyone, they took the clay pots they had prepared and placed them under the aquarium, and pulled out the cork in the bamboo tube.

A stream of clear water emerged and fell into the clay pot.

The pottery pot was a little small, and it was filled quickly. The overseer had to change it to another one. It was not until the second pottery pot was filled that the water from the water pitcher stopped flowing.

The supervisor plugged the cork and looked at everyone triumphantly: "Did you see it? This plant is called Aquarius. As long as you water it with enough sea water, it will produce so much water every day. An Aquarius plant will produce so much water every day." One day's worth of water is enough for your family to drink for one day, and it also has this."

The supervisor pointed everyone to look at the white layer on the leaf: "This is salt, pure salt that only nobles can eat."

The crowd was in an uproar.

Someone couldn't help but ask: "Then they were planted here? They couldn't be for us to use, right?"

"It's just for you." The supervisor nodded and affirmed: "These water pitchers were created by a great wood magician. They appeared to solve the problem of no water for everyone. These are just the beginning. , in the future, each of your households can receive a water pitcher plant and plant it in your own yard, so you no longer have to worry about running out of water."

Although people also thought it was magical, they did not believe what he said.

"Isn't this kind of plant very expensive? How can we afford it?"

“That’s right, we can’t even buy water from the water seller, so where can we buy this magical plant?

"

"It doesn't cost anything." The supervisor said immediately. In addition to planting these water pitchers, their job is also to promote it.

"These water pitchers are all free gifts from Mr. Magician, so everyone just needs to promise to take good care of them. Just like these now, you can also come here to get a piece of water every day, all for free - now someone wants to Do you want to taste it?”

Regardless of whether you believe what the overseer said or not, the news about Aquarius slowly spread.

Everyone was curious that there were such magical plants, especially when they heard that these plants would be planted throughout Adadala City in the future to solve their drinking water problem. They all went to the slums to watch the excitement. The dilapidated streets in the past were now... There is some life.

Many of the people in the slums are family members of the apprentices. When these people went to see the apprentices, they couldn't help but mention the water pitchers, and then learned from the apprentices that the water pitchers came from the farm where they were. They were transported out and the person who cultivated them was the owner of the teachers who taught them magic - a very kind and friendly foreign nobleman.

As their word of mouth spread, the names of the elves and demon kings spread throughout Adadala. Not only the nobles, but also the common people began to know about their deeds, which laid a good foundation for the future transformation of Adadala's environment.

Over at the palace, the Demon King who used illusions to make humans think he was the old king has also received many reports from nobles in the past few days, all about the elf and him. These nobles probably felt that the elf's actions offended them. Interests, one after another on parchment, accused them of inciting people with evil intentions, and asked the old king to arrest them all.

If the old king had been replaced, they might have gotten their wish, but now the devil is in charge.

So the report was thrown aside casually, but the nobleman who wrote the report was taken care of by the Demon King.

After the elf was busy with the aquarium, he started to mess with other things. The soil mixed with crystals he collected before was not given to the old lich, but to a few monsters with good alchemy skills, which was finally confirmed. There are indeed various minerals in it, but they are too mixed. At present, only a few can be distinguished, and the rest need to be studied carefully.

After determining what these things were, the elf began to cultivate a new generation of water pitchers. This time he planned to cultivate the water pitchers into hydroponic plants, so that they can be grown directly in the water tank in the future, not only to harvest fresh water and salt, which can also collect minerals that have not been absorbed.

Although he didn't understand the use of these things, it was enough for the alchemists to understand. With them, these things would have their own uses sooner or later.

At this time, the old lich finally took off the elf's earrings.

At that time, the elf was discussing the affairs of another continent with the rabbit and the big lizard. By the way, he guessed the location of that continent and felt a vibration in his laboratory, as if something big had happened.

The elf quickly went in to check the situation, and the rabbit in his arms forgot to let go for a moment, so he went in with him.

As soon as he entered the laboratory, he saw the disassembled earrings in front of the old lich - the green one in the middle was now shining brightly, and the light green light illuminated the entire laboratory, but it was not dazzling.

【what is that? 】The rabbit lay in the elf's arms and was curious.

[The seeds of the Elf Mother Tree. 】The elf put it down, his eyes seemed to be shining, and he looked at the small things among the fragments on the table without blinking.

"You've finally come in." The old lich also had a headache: "I didn't expect that this kind of package without resin would have such a big reaction. I can't help it. The vitality is too strong. I don't feel good. I need to go out and hide first."

The old lich is an undead type. In addition to being afraid of light elements, he also hates live things, because too much vitality will make him want to eat. When he saw this kind of food, he almost swallowed it without resisting the temptation.

Fortunately, the elf arrived in time. After saying this, the old lich tore up a teleportation scroll and ran away without waiting for the elf to reply.

The rabbit looked at the place where the old lich suddenly disappeared and blinked his beautiful black eyes.

Then he ran over in a running jump, his little nose twitching, as if he was studying how the old lich disappeared.

The elf didn't pay attention to its actions, and now only the seed remained in his eyes.

The author has something to say: Here comes the second update, it’s time to start the next dungeon plot~~~
