Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

The sky was slightly bright, and a diligent farmer came out of the village with a pickaxe. The first thing he did when he came out was to put out the lights around his house.

There are more than 10 lamps near his house, and the lampposts are a little taller than half a person. In order to prevent these lamps from being blown out by the night wind, they also added precious glass covers to the lamps. This shows that this How rich the village is.

"Hey, Miles, you're up so early."

Meier, who was putting out the lights, looked back and saw that it was his neighbor Job. He smiled and responded: "Yeah, it seems your lights need to be refilled with water."

"Hahaha, yes, you are observing very carefully. This lamp is almost burned out."

After that, Job returned to his home, took out a wooden barrel, and then unscrewed the upper part of the lamp. If he looked carefully, he found that there was nothing on the upper part of the lamp, only on the base. Drilled a few small holes.

The lower part is like a funnel-shaped cup, dark inside. Job took out a small brush and swept away the residue from the lower half of the lamp.

Then Job opened the barrel, and an indescribable unique smell began to spread. The water in the barrel was black. When he scooped up a spoonful and placed it on the base of the lamp, the water still had a viscous consistency like lotus roots. feel.

"Okay, the water has been filled"

"Then take a look at the fields, old man," Meier said.

Job responded, "Let's go!"

In less than twenty minutes, they walked to the field. What they saw was not the endless fields and green crops, but silver-white crops the size of an acre of land.

These silvery-white crops have diamond-shaped leaves that are spread all over the body, but they are very small, no more than as big as the nail of your index finger. They only have two large leaves, which are about the size of a palm. At the same time, there are the small leaves just mentioned on the big leaves.

But at this point in time, you can't see its leaves because the sun hasn't shone yet. There are obvious indentations on the stems and leaves of this plant, which are used to hold its leaves.

When there is no sun, the leaves shrink and fit perfectly into those indentations. From a distance, they are bare stems and the eight-sided rhombus-shaped flower buds on the top.

After a while, the sun shone over, and miracles began to happen. The silvery-white plants that felt the sun's rays opened their leaves one after another, aiming at the sun with the largest contact area.

The diamond-shaped flower buds also bloomed, revealing the beautiful crystal-like orbs.

But not all silver-white plants have opened their leaves. Some of them have their leaves tightly attached to their stems even when they feel the sun.

"It's time for me to get to work"

Meyer said.

Job waved his hands and said, "It's time for me to go and see my fields."

After saying that, he walked towards the fields he managed.

And Job picked up the pickaxe and walked towards the silver-white plants with unopened leaves. His first step was to carefully observe the silver-white plants with his eyes, as if he wanted to grasp every detail.

Then he saw a dead bug still lying on it. Hey, he sighed in his heart, the poor little bug had nowhere to go and had to come here.

He put on gloves and carefully peeled off the insect's body, and then the silver-white plant unfolded its leaves.

He walked to another plant and performed the same actions as before, but found nothing wrong. Then he looked at the ground and found that there was a weed that had just emerged next to the plant. Then he took a step forward. Then he carefully pulled out the weeds by their roots with a pickaxe.

This proud plant finally unfolded its leaves.

An acre of land is actually not that big, and these silver-white plants are widely spaced apart from each other, so there aren't many plants in total. So Meier didn't take long to get the plants to open their leaves.

He found a shady place and began to rest. After a while, Job came back and talked with him. Job was the first to speak:

"Oh, I'll be very busy from now on!"

Meyer asked, "How?"

"I have a lot of Egwene flowers over there that grow relatively slowly. I will have to guard them every night and use black water to illuminate them, so that the slower-growing ones can grow faster and mature before harvest. "

"Don't things like this happen every year? Be more open-minded."

The two of them then exchanged words with each other, and soon after, the children came over with breakfast. In order not to delay the growth of Egwene flowers, people in this village must arrive at the fields before dawn every day, so they have no time to have breakfast.

They only have free time after they finish their work. For the next day, they must stay by the field at all times to observe the condition of the Egwene flowers. If the leaves are retracted, they need to go up and check them as soon as possible.

……

"Blackwater Village? Does this village really exist?" Abe asked.

The drunkard said drunkenly: "Yes! I have been there, and they have black water that can be ignited! There are also silver-white flowers! Yes, they are everywhere!"

"Don't listen to his bragging!" said another person in the tavern.

"He has definitely never been there! Everyone knows where Blackwater Village is? It's in the ravines in the southernmost part of the West Bay Federation, but it's not something ordinary people can go there, because if you want to reach Blackwater Village, there's a hundred-meter-wide road There's a big crack right there

want to go? Unless you are a knight who owns a flying dragon or a griffon! Drunkard, how did you get there? "

"me…"

"I can't tell you."

Abe asked: "Can ordinary people go around it?"

"There are steep mountains all around, and there are all kinds of birds and beasts on the mountains. No one who goes there can come back alive. Guys, don't think about it."

Abe said thoughtfully: "Okay, I understand, boss! The money spent on everyone's drinks in the pub today will be on me, so I'll pay for it!"

"Yeah! Woohoo~!"

Then, Abe returned to the tavern. He handed over his men and said, "Bring this news to His Highness Red. I am going to the West Bay Federation, and I will leave the intelligence line here to you."

The man knelt down on one knee and said, "I understand."
