Chapter 59 Drawing Lessons

After leaving the castle, Li Yu took out the map first, and checked the direction to go next.

The map was hand-drawn by himself, because the boss did not allow Li Yu to copy it, so Li Yu took a picture with his mobile phone, and then drew it in his notebook bit by bit after returning to his room.

Except that there is no statue of the goddess of silver moon and no coloring, it is basically not much different from the original version.

However, according to Fausto, this map has a history of hundreds of years, and it is estimated that some places are not so accurate, but Li Yu has no better choice at hand, so he can only make do with it.

Maybe when he is free, he can use the drone to draw a more accurate map by himself. During the last two visits, Li Yu chose to bring a solar power bank.

This kind of charging treasure is to install a solar panel with monocrystalline silicon on the ordinary charging treasure, and directly use photovoltaic power generation without connecting to the circuit, which is most suitable for Li Yu's current situation.

In this way, he also preliminarily solved the problem of charging the drone and some other electronic devices, so he didn't need to detach the battery and run back and forth with it.

With the power bank, Li Yu naturally thought of a larger battery.

However, the weight of the battery is usually not light. Apart from clothes and shoes, Li Yu can only carry about 3kg each time at this stage.

The large-capacity batteries on the market basically exceed this weight. As for the smaller ones, they are not much different from power banks.

Of course, there is another way, which is to disassemble the batteries and bring them over in batches, and then assemble them. However, Li Yu's current power consumption is not too large, and there is no such strong demand for batteries for the time being.

In addition, his sect has not yet been pulled up, and he can only rely on Ilea for safety. If he really makes too much noise, it may cause some unnecessary troubles.

So Li Yu pressed this idea.

The first time he chose to explore was the forest not too far from the castle. Ilea had passed through here when she escaped from Rock Snow City back to the Green Field.

However, it was already late at night when Li Yu appeared, and he was not able to see the surrounding environment very clearly at that time, and now he came back when the sun was shining during the day, and finally he was able to see the true face of this place.

The trees in the forest are mainly fir trees. They have gray-brown bark, and the outer bark is often split in long strips, exposing the light red inner bark inside. The trunk is tall and straight, growing all the way upwards, and the leaves are thin , forked to both sides, evergreen all year round.

According to the markings on the map, this is also the forest farm of the Arias family, which also means that nearby civilians cannot cut down trees here at will. Once they are caught illegally, they will face a large amount of fines.

Li Yu casually marked the fir tree on the map. As one of the most common tree species, the cedar tree is indeed very suitable for being cut down and processed into wood for architectural decoration. In addition, the resin in the bark can also be used as an adhesive , fir leaves are distilled to extract essential oils.

Papyrus and parchment are still the main papers used in the continent of Bratis today. Although these two kinds of paper can be used for writing, they are not considered "paper" in the strict sense and have their own defects.

If he successfully introduces papermaking technology to the Bratis Continent in the future, the cedar tree can also be used as a raw material for pulp.

Besides fir trees, Li Yu also found dandelions in the forest.

With its extraordinary reproductive ability, this kind of little thing can easily spread all over the world, and once it takes root, it is very difficult to eradicate.

Undoubtedly a scourge for gardeners and farmers.

But this Compositae plant itself has quite a lot of uses. According to Clara, when the dandelions germinate, many nearby farmers will dig them up, wash them and take them home as wild vegetables. All parts of dandelions can be eaten. And the seeds can also cure diseases.

People with stomach discomfort can feel much better after eating dandelion seeds. Some people who have bumped their arms and legs and got boils can get better quickly by applying some dandelion seeds.

And Li Yu knew that not only that, because dandelion has anti-inflammatory properties, it can cure a lot of diseases, and the root of dandelion can also be soaked in water to drink. When there is no tea to drink, drinking dandelion water is also very good.

There are still a lot of bracken in the forest, and many villagers come to dig it when there is no food to eat.

Fresh bracken itself is poisonous, but as long as it is blanched, it is not a big problem if you don't eat too much at one time.

The little maid said that the Arias family treated the tenant farmers quite well. Although they were not allowed to cut down trees at will and hunt in the forest, they were at least allowed to dig wild vegetables, hunt small animals like squirrels, and occasionally improve their food.

There are some very strict and greedy lords who charge money no matter what they do, such as the use of grassland, forest land, and bread ovens, but the people below have nothing to do. After all, according to the laws of the Red Lion Empire, the land, and the land on it All flora and fauna belonged to the lord.

Of course, if it goes too far, the free people in the territory will run out, leaving only the serfs who cannot plant so much land, and the lord will also lose money.

Li Yu is not only looking for familiar animals and plants, but also sent Clara and the four children each a morning light notebook and a pencil, asking them to draw all the animals and plants they know, and draw the ones they don’t know first. Come down, especially remember to highlight the special features, Li Yuhao write it down and use Baidu and Google to search.

Compared with boring calculations and reciting multiplication tables, of course hiking in the forest and painting classes are more enjoyable, and the little maid can justifiably fish everywhere.

Even though Li Yu set a reward of half a silver coin, Clara still seemed to be at a heartless age. She didn't care much about how much money she had in her pocket when she had enough to eat and a place to sleep every day.

Moreover, her parents sold her early in the morning, and then disappeared without a trace. She does not need to earn money for the family like the four little ones, so she is not very interested in the rewards offered by Li Yu.

Just as a group of six people stopped and went, investigating and picnicking, the sound of horseshoes behind them destroyed the peace and tranquility in the forest.

The two riders galloped all the way here, and they kept calling Merlin's name along the way.

Li Yu stood still in place, waiting for the two to approach, and the two riders were obviously relieved when they saw him. One of the handsome young riders said to Li Yu, "I am Jordi, and everyone generally calls him I am the purple broom knight, and this is my squire Karl."

"Is there anything you two want from me?"

"Well, under Miss Ilea's order, we will protect you and your assistants and return to the castle."

"What happened at the castle?" Li Yu frowned.

Jordi hesitated and replied, "Probably... an assassin appeared."
