Above the mage!

Chapter 426: Two Wings Flying Together, Flourishing

After checking the changes in Yugathira, Gode immediately opened the package he was carrying to check whether the alien raccoon eggs were brought back to the North by him.

Astral teleportation has always been available only to him as the one who has made the contract.

No other creature besides him can pass through the astral portal.

The eggs of the alien raccoon can be considered both a living thing and an object.

Even God could not be sure that it could follow him back to the North.

Turns out, it really works.

When Gaode saw the intact alien raccoon eggs in the package, he felt much better.

He immediately opened the Mandor Magic Eye and began to observe.

In the vision of Mandola's Magic Eye, Gode clearly saw that the silvery-white ice elements were like iron sand attracted by a magnet, gathering from the howling wind and snow in the north.

Those ice crystal-like energy flows continuously flowed into the alien raccoon eggs.

This was expected.

In the north, the energy concentration of the ice element is overwhelming that of other elements.

Gao De's initial idea was to use the environment of the northern border to reverse the trend of this alien raccoon egg becoming a water alien raccoon and transform it into an ice alien raccoon.

He was about to take back the raccoon egg, prepare to bring it back to Phoenix, and then place it in the ice cave.

But the next moment, Gao De's movements suddenly stopped and he stood there in a daze.

Because he saw something very strange.

In addition to the silvery-white ice element energy, there is also some colorful energy that is being absorbed by the alien raccoon egg.

Each element of energy has its own color.

The fire element is a bright red like lava, the wind element is a clear sky blue, and the earth element is a solid amber.
Most people have never seen the colorful energy.

But for Gaode, this is not unfamiliar.

He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the colorful light lingering on the branches and leaves of Yugathhira, then looked down at the alien raccoon eggs.

"Is this... Astral energy?"

Can alien raccoon eggs also absorb star energy?

He had read a detailed introduction to the alien raccoons in the Sea Sentinel. So far, a total of eight forms of alien raccoons have been discovered, namely the thunder raccoon, fire raccoon, wind raccoon, poison raccoon, wood raccoon, water raccoon, ice raccoon and moonlight raccoon. All of them are transformed by absorbing the energy of the corresponding elements.

If it absorbs star energy, will this alien raccoon egg eventually take on its ninth form, namely the star raccoon?
Gao De stood there in a daze, thinking quietly for a long time.

Finally, he looked up and made a decision.

Plans change.

Although we don’t know whether the star alien raccoon exists or what abilities it has.

But Gaode can be sure that if it really exists, the strength of the Star Realm Alien is definitely stronger than the other eight forms of Alien.

Because astral teleportation is an extremely supernatural ability that involves space.

Since this is possible, why bother with the Ice Monster?

You have to have some ambition.

You have to go all in and try your luck at the Star Realm Alien.

Gode ​​no longer hesitated, and used the magician's hand to send the alien raccoon egg, which was slightly rising and falling as if breathing, between the branches of Yugathhira.

Then he stretched out his palm and placed it on the trunk of Yugathhira, communicating with it through telepathy and conveying his thoughts.

Gode ​​hopes that Yugatshira will take care of and help the raccoon eggs absorb astral energy.

Jingle bell bell~
The leaves trembled, making clear and pleasant sounds like wind chimes.

This was the reply given by Yugatshira, who understood what Gode meant.

After placing the alien raccoon eggs, Gaode quickly canceled the spell and cast it again.

After performing the familiar combo, he brought Flora back to the North.

As soon as she returned to the North, Flora first flapped her little wings behind her happily, dived into the branches and leaves of Yugathshila, and shuttled up and down.

Yugathixila shook the leaves, making a continuous sound of wind chimes, and at the same time the leaves rolled like a waterfall, making way for Flora.

Gode ​​and Yugatshira are in a covenant relationship, which is considered a close connection, but Yugatshira and Flora are in a symbiotic relationship, and the closeness of their relationship is far beyond Gode's reach.

After the flutter, Flora, who had recovered from the shock, wanted to take credit for it.

She pulled Goder to an open space not far from Yugathira.

Because it is close to Yugathira, the magic concentration of the land here is extremely high.

And here, several saplings stand tall and graceful.

It is only as high as a child's forearm, but it already reveals its extraordinary temperament. The trunk is translucent rose crystal, and the crown is composed of layers of diamond-shaped leaves.

Without Flora saying anything, God had already guessed where they came from.

"Is this a sapling of a gem sweetberry?"

Flora nodded repeatedly. "During the seedling stage, they need to be fed with enough gem powder and dew, so there is no need to use natural magic to stimulate growth for now. We can do it later."

Gem Sweetberry is a magical berry created by magic, a species that has never existed in the world before.

If it weren't for Flora, who could have cultivated the magic berry tree so smoothly?

It would take at least hundreds or thousands of failures and decades of trial and error to come up with the correct breeding method.

"Thanks to Lady Flora's help, it's really amazing!" Gao De praised again.

He really likes to praise Flora.

First, Flora likes to be praised, and second, Flora is indeed worthy of praise.

It may not be an exaggeration to say that the North will not collapse without him, but without Flora, it will really collapse.

The little man is the true foundation of the North.

Flora had a serious expression on her face, and seemed to be unmoved by Goder's praise.

As the Minister of Agriculture, Lady Flora, you cannot show your emotions at work.

This is the conclusion that Flora, who is studious, smart and resourceful, came to after observing other "adults".

This is indeed the truth, but the little wings flapping involuntarily behind her still revealed her emotions at the moment.

Gao De just pretended not to notice anything.

He then took out from the package more than 40 new tree species brought back from the Plantagenet dynasty and gave them to Flora.

To ensure the survival rate of the trees, Flora had to take charge of planting them. Only trees planted by her could guarantee a 100% survival rate.

Of course, she was only in charge of giving orders.

Gao De had long ago set up a Forestry Office under the Ministry of Agriculture, which was specifically responsible for tree planting, especially for taking care of the green forest opened up by Yugatshila.

So much time has passed, and the Forestry Bureau is no longer in the situation of being a lone commander.

We have expanded our staff back and forth, and now, including "public officials" and "staff", the number of people has exceeded 30, and is still increasing.

Planting and caring for ordinary tree species is relatively simple, but as the number of magic trees continues to increase, the complexity of the work increases exponentially.

Because magic trees are generally troublesome, they need all kinds of meticulous care during their growth, just like the Godberry tree, which needs to be fed with special nutrients such as gem powder and dew regularly every day.
These things all need someone to do it specifically.

With the Forestry Office moving its office to Walar Bay and the expansion of the tree protection team, the camp facilities are becoming more and more complete.

There are sentry posts set up at various key points, rows of single-family stone houses, expanded enclosures, and a two-story "office building".

In addition to improved facilities, more and more people are walking through the woods.

One is the daily patrol of the tree protection team, and the other is the staff of the Forestry Office.

It can be said that this place no longer looks like a temporary camp at all, but is a forest farm that is developing rapidly.

Flora was also familiar with the task and quickly gathered a group of forestry office staff and headed towards the planting area that had been designated long ago.

Flora took the forestry office staff to plant trees, while Gao De entered the newly built office building and summoned Elder Gain.

"From a barren land to a forest farm now, you have worked hard, Elder Gain."

“My king, you are too kind. It is my honor to protect the sacred tree.” Elder Gain quickly stood up and bowed slightly.

Gode ​​nodded slightly. There was no doubt that the other party was doing his job conscientiously. When Yugath Sheila was just planted, he decisively left the "prosperous" Phoenix and came here to suffer without any complaints.

"You should have also studied the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra, right?" Gao De thought for a moment and asked.

"Of course." Elder Gain nodded.

Gao De and Sunaifa together vigorously promoted the practice of "Qingmu Changsheng Jing" within the Zhenbing tribe. As a "loyal minister" under their command, how could he not practice it?
"Then is there a sacred object for the covenant?"

"not yet."

Ever since Yugath-Shira planted the magic tree, he has been staying here, busy with various affairs, which means he has basically never left. How could he have the opportunity and time to find a suitable magic tree seedling?
"I have a fourth-level magic tree seed. I want to give it to you as your bonded creature. What do you think?" Gao De smiled slightly and finally expressed his thoughts. By the way, he briefly introduced the characteristics and abilities of the Lingquan Nectar Tree to him.

When exchanging the spiritual spring nectar tree seeds, Gaode had already decided who to give this magic tree seed to.

Elder Gain is loyal and has made great contributions. It is very appropriate to give him this title both morally and logically.

What's more, people are always careless sometimes, but if the object of his contract is also planted in the spiritual land opened up by Yugathiro, he will definitely pay more attention to it after it is closely related to himself.

"Fourth-level Demonic Tree Species" Elder Gain was stunned at first, but after he reacted, his face suddenly became excited.

"My king, will you give me such a precious tree species?" He was still a little uncertain and a little bit unbelievable.

"Yes, I think it's appropriate." Gao De nodded.

"Thank you, my king, for your kindness." Elder Gain did not engage in "hypocritical" courtesy and expressed his gratitude immediately.

First, the people in the North are relatively simple and honest. Second, he is undoubtedly a direct descendant of Gaode. There is no need to act ungratefully in such matters. Just accept the benefits.

In response to Elder Gain's thanks, Gao De encouraged him again and expressed his recognition of his work during this period.

"From now on, this forest will only continue to expand, and the workload will become heavier. Then your work will become even harder."

"I am glad to take on this important responsibility." Elder Gain nodded heavily.

Gao De said no more, took out the spiritual spring nectar tree seeds in the crystal bottle, handed it to Elder Gain, and asked him to sign the contract on the spot.

Elder Gain is only a three-ringed Iceborn mage, but it is true that the Lingquan Nectar Tree is a fourth-level magic tree species, but it is only a tree species after all.

Therefore, the whole contract-making process went very smoothly without any setbacks.

While Elder Gain was making the covenant, Goder's attention was drawn to a huge sheepskin map hanging at the back of the room.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a map of this forest farm, with extremely complete information marked.

The specific spiritual land opened up by Yugath Shira is outlined with golden lines, and the concentration of magic in different areas is represented by different shades of blue.

The tree species planted in each planting area are recorded in detail, and even the vacant plots that have not yet been developed are planned in an orderly manner.

After Elder Gain had finished signing the contract, Gao De pointed at the sheepskin map and asked, "Did you make this yourself?"

Elder Gain nodded quickly and explained, "After making the map, it will be easier to arrange patrol shifts, and it will also be convenient for the forestry office to plan tree planting."

"Well done." Gao De was very satisfied.

Being obedient and loyal already meets the criteria of a "good employee". If you can also use your own brain and exercise your subjective initiative, you are an "excellent employee".

Elder Gain was also delighted with Gao De's praise.

Afterwards, they chatted for a while, and Gaode learned about the recent situation in Valar Bay through Elder Gain's oral narration.

Today, under the leadership of the newly established Ministry of Construction, Walar Bay is actually developing at both ends, or it can be said that both wings are flying together, showing a booming development trend.

In addition to the rapid development of the Holy Land, the estuary far away from Yugathira, namely the port area, is also under large-scale construction.

The route has been opened, and resources from the north are being transported on a small scale to Lagos for sale. The profits gained will then be invested in shipyard expansion and new ship manufacturing.

They are working in full swing over there, so naturally the facilities here have to keep up.

The first thing to do is to build a small port that can accommodate the fleet. We can't keep those foreign crew members on the ship all the time and not let them disembark.

On the other hand, the supporting warehousing and logistics modules must keep up to ensure that once the merchant ships arrive, they can be unloaded and loaded quickly without wasting too much time.

The number of personnel deployed to the port is much greater than that of Yugathira, exceeding a thousand.

This is actually also due to the fact that in order to facilitate the connection between Valar Bay and Phoenix, the transportation routes and supplies were opened up in advance.

Going from one to ten is much easier than going from zero to one.

Another point is that, thanks to the twenty bottles of [Quick Digging] potion brought back by God, the excavation of the tunnel in Mount Valar is now in full swing because of the appearance of twenty mages who master [Quick Digging].

However, Mount Valar is too huge. Even with the help of magic, it would still be an arduous task that would take years to completely open up the tunnel.

"It's been too long. As long as this tunnel is blocked, the travel between the two places will be greatly hindered." Gao De frowned.

"Don't worry, my king. The War Mother has already listed the raw materials needed for the [Fast Digging] spell potion and asked the returning merchant ships to focus on purchasing them. I believe that in the near future, the number of mages who can master [Fast Digging] in the clan will increase dramatically."

Although Elder Gain was in Valar Bay, as the direct descendant of the two, he still knew some inside information, and he quickly added.

Gao De heard this and exhaled slowly.

He handed over all matters concerning fleet operation to Sunaifa.

Sunaifa has always been a smart man, and unlike him, he is not a hands-off manager. How could he not know the importance of the tunnel and make corresponding decisions?
He was worrying too much.

After getting a general understanding of the situation, Gao De stood up and said, "Flora's work should be almost over. Let's go find her now and plant your Spirit Spring Nectar tree seeds first."
