Rise of the Plants

"Hello, I'm Jiawei, a captain of the Border Guard Air Force. Is this your flying boat? It's so comfortable." The half-elves around them looked refreshed, as if they had inhaled something strange. .

"Ours is not an alchemy airship, it is just a plant airship. The whole body is made of plants. Of course it is comfortable."

Orna stepped forward and explained without expression. But from Orna's eyes, we can see some pride and show off. What can the people of the Great Empire do? Can they compare with the Holy Tree Leader on an airship?

"It turns out it's an airship. It's actually made of plants, and they're all living plants. It's really amazing. It's a pity that the alchemists in our empire are not very good, so they can only use wood to make the airship. Even that tree It was still difficult to integrate." Jiawei was talking about the big tree on her flying boat.

It seems that in the eyes of the half-elves, his airship is much better than theirs. After all, they are a race that is friendly to nature, but what's the use of just being comfortable without strength.

Chi Nan's philosophy is completely different from theirs. As long as his airship does not reach the level of being able to crush the airship for a day, Chi Nan will never be satisfied. At least he still has a direction for development.

After a slight cough, Chi Nan suddenly said: "It's a little intrusive to come here, but this is the first time we have received an invitation to a forest banquet, and we don't know what to do. Also, do we need to inform anyone."

Jiawei finally reacted, her face flushed slightly, and then she returned to normal: "I'm really sorry. In fact, you don't need to prepare anything for the forest banquet. But since you have been invited, you must inform the royal family. Distance The forest banquet is still about a month and a half away, so we can just go to the imperial capital then."

"It just so happens that we are going to the Imperial Capital to report on our duties at that time, so we will go with you. We will also report the news about your coming here." The Half-Elf Empire is not very wary of half-elves.

But Jiawei suddenly discovered that there were many humans around her. She frowned and took two steps back calmly: "Your Excellency Chi Nan, why are there so many humans here?"

Seeing their disgusted looks, Chi Nan understood: "Don't worry, these are our subordinates. My territory is in the north, and there are more humans there. Therefore, our territorial residents are still more of these humans."

"That's right. It's really hard for you. The half-elves themselves have nothing to do with it, but these humans must be registered. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be very distressing."

Is this considered racial discrimination? Chi Nan thought inexplicably. However, after taking a quick glance, he saw that these soldiers were not upset. Chi Nan then thought about it, just register, it was not an important thing anyway.

"Okay, then just follow the rules here. By the way, who are those people below and why do they need to kill insects?"

Chi Nan suddenly changed his tone of voice, which immediately woke these people up. "Yeah, I forgot about it. We are here to eliminate bugs. By the way, your airship formation is so big, so come and help."

You're really not polite. Maybe this is the natural way half-elves get along with each other, Chi Nan thought in his mind.

"Those bugs are so beautiful, why should we kill them? It would be such a pity." Orna stepped forward and said.

"Yes, those bugs are very beautiful, but no matter how beautiful they are, we can't keep them, otherwise our seaside forest will be completely destroyed." Jiawei's eyes flashed with depression.

It is difficult for half-elves to get their hands on beautiful things. If these things weren't too harmful, to be honest, Jiawei wouldn't want to do this job. Of course, this bug is only beautiful to a half-elf. For humans, both men and women will feel uncomfortable all over their bodies. There is no burden at all in getting rid of these bugs.

"But I don't see any harm in these bugs. They just spit."

Jiawei spread her hands helplessly after hearing this: "You can't help it if you don't know. In fact, we didn't know it at the beginning. This was originally a coastal forest. Although it was not within the empire's territory in name, it was controlled by the empire. "

"At that time, this was a big forest, and many of us liked to play here. But suddenly one day, these crystal worms appeared in the sea. At first, no one felt much, but later, these crystal worms became more and more popular. The more we do, the more we realize by that time it’s too late to solve the problem.”

Jiawei didn't hide it and said it directly, maybe because they were both half-elves.

These crystal worms were originally produced by the mutation of a kind of creature in the sea. And the method of reproduction is actually division. In other words, one becomes two, and two becomes four. This speed is very amazing.

The key point is that although these crystal worms are not lethal, they will eat anything. The seaside forest was quickly eaten by these worms. And wherever they pass, they will leave a lot of viscous liquid.

Usually, a lot of it will be spit out. This liquid is like glue, which will stick to the ground and prevent plants from growing. In addition, worms will bring a lot of salt from the sea, resulting in the seaside becoming a salt-alkali land.

"When we discovered it, we eliminated many crystal worms. But we didn't expect that even if the crystal worms died, the skin they left behind would automatically split and grow many new ones."

"By the time we discovered the crystal worm problem, these crystal worms had grown to an exaggerated level. However, the nobles in the imperial capital still did not realize this problem and only let our border troops solve it. Let these crystal worms continue to develop. , there will definitely be less and less land on the seaside, and the forests will be severely damaged."

It seems that half-elves will also be corrupted after becoming nobles. Maybe they don't have bad intentions, but in their hearts, half-elves enjoy this more than humans. Chi Nan thought silently in his heart.

This bug has not yet attracted the attention of the Half-Elf Empire, but Chi Nan can also see it. If these things continue to develop, this forest will no longer be needed. Even if you want to completely eliminate it, it is not easy.

"We are here to ask for your help to eliminate these bugs, as long as we can suppress them. This time when we go back, we will definitely have a way to convince the royal family and make them take it seriously."

Jiawei gave herself a big salute, and Chi Nan rubbed his brow. Helping is a waste of time, but it does no harm to you. Moreover, you can also gain the favor of the border army, which may be helpful to you, so let's do it.
