Warlord: King of All Clans

Chapter 49 A long night chat with the big druid

The first time Leo saw Bobak, the figure that came to his mind was Teacher Yuan.

And behind him are the golden rice fields full of fruits!

In comparison, in the original owner Leo’s memory fragments, the scene of the wheat fields in his hometown in the North was simply horrible.

The sparse rye was leaning here and there, and each ear of wheat had a dozen shriveled grains.

The yield is even lower than the weeds and wild grass in the rice fields in the previous life!

Backward agricultural technology and crops that are not adapted to the environment are important factors restricting the development of the North.

The vast and sparsely populated northern border is not suitable for reclamation everywhere. Except for the large tracts of farmland on the plains in the Anzeno River basin, most of the areas further north are grasslands and forests.

In many places in the North, one acre of land can feed one person, but the labor cost of reclaiming one acre of land far exceeds the income brought by this acre of land.

Not to mention that the self-cultivating farmers with limited food reserves could not afford it, even the ordinary village heads and knight lords could not do it, so they could only make a living by nomadicism and fishing and hunting from generation to generation.

Just like the Great Northern Wilderness in the previous life, geography, society, weather, and religion all restrict the development of agricultural civilization.

But can you say that the Great Northern Wilderness is really not suitable for farming?

It’s just that the technology and productivity are not up to par.

Bobak could see through Leo's little thoughts at a glance.

In his hundreds of years of life experience, he was accustomed to such people and scenes.

Every ambitious, capable and aspiring person, the first thing they do when they meet him, is to use his knowledge to their benefit.

If he was fooled by a few words and worked for others without any effort like Freya every time he arrived at a strange settlement, then he would have lived in vain for the past five hundred years.

Moreover, five hundred years of life experience and tens of thousands of years of ancient elven scrolls told him that the more humans learned, the faster the world would be destroyed.

But the insights and thoughts of this human child in front of me are indeed interesting.

So he gave up the idea of ​​taking Freya away early, and continued to chat with Leo with interest.

The two talked from day to night, and from night to dawn, and moved from the campfire in the camp to the fire pit in the lord's house, and had an exchange covering various fields.

The knowledgeable Bobak had a thorough understanding of the history, geography, and religious culture of each race. With a brief description, he helped Leo, a visitor from another world, quickly understand his situation.

Before, he had no idea where he was, where he was, or what level of the food chain he was at, and everything he did was just to survive.

This is very painful for a modern person.

Without a correct world view, there can be no correct outlook on life.

If you don't have the slightest understanding of the world, it will be difficult to find your own position in life. This will make you feel at a loss, and even unable to find the direction to work hard, and you can only go with the flow.

Why didn’t the farmers in remote mountain villages in the last century venture out into the prosperous world?

Because he has no knowledge of this world and no means of survival.

If Leo had no knowledge of this world, he would have had no choice but to continue living as an old farmer in the river bend.

And because of Leo's theoretical knowledge and logical thinking that are not available in this world, his occasional words can give Bobak new insights.

After talking all night until dawn, Uliyan could no longer bear it and went back to sleep, but Olivia and the little mouse insisted on staying with him and were dozing off next to Leo.

As for Freya, she fell asleep in front of the campfire and was carried to the stable by her teacher.

As soon as the sun rose, Freya, who had a very good sleep schedule, rushed in from outside, shouting, "Teacher! Teacher!"

As soon as she rushed into the big house excitedly, she heard the terrible creaking of wooden boards.

Leo and Bobak shouted together, "Get out! Get out!"

The sawmill is still under construction, and there are still not enough wooden boards to build floors in the lord's house. The whole house is empty, except for the stairs built around the fire pit and some temporary corridors built with old wooden boards and branches removed from trucks.

If it weren't for Bobak's soothing technique, Leo would have to endure the sound of the unicorn running and roaring along the wooden steps and around the stone walls of the house while chatting with Bobak.

These thin wooden boards and twigs obviously could not bear Freya's terrible weight. She stood frozen in place with three feet on the creaking wooden boards and one foot lifted.

As Leo and the teacher shouted at her, Freya took a step forward unwillingly.

With a loud "bang", the entire wooden bridge leading to the fire pit collapsed. Freya screamed and fell to the dark layer. She was then pushed around by six one-horned boars who had heard the news, making her scream like a ghost.

Leo and Bobak both stroked their foreheads.

In Leo's concerned eyes, Bobak comforted him: "It's okay, she can't be hurt."

"So, that's why you taught her to turn into a giant bear?"

Bobak nodded silently.

Teach her how to transform into a bear, and don't teach her how to transform back. She is invulnerable to swords and guns and can't die from falling. It doesn't matter if she gets lost!

Perfect!

Because of Leo, Bobak stayed in Riverbend for three whole days.

Although he did not bring about earth-shaking changes to Riverbend through magic, knowledge or artifacts as Leo had imagined, it did not mean he was unwilling to teach anything.

At least he told the villagers how to pacify and tame those restless one-horned boars.

By the way, medical treatment was provided to the injured and disabled militiamen in the camp.

Even the lord's house was reinforced with druid magic.

The construction difficulty of the 300-square-meter lord's house was still beyond the level of Valeri's craftsmen, and the villagers under him were unable to meet his requirements 100%.

Therefore, Bobak noticed at a glance some unreasonable structures and defects in the lord's house.

He stretched out his fingers and waved them slightly. Vines and roots emerged from the beams of the lord's house, squirming like living things and quickly penetrated into another beam, integrating the supporting structure of the entire house into one.

He also told Leo that the land in the river bend was fertile enough and that there was no need to apply fertilizer in the first year. Instead, attention should be paid to the drainage and ventilation of the land.

In the second year, you can go to the nearby forest to dig forest humus as fertilizer. In the third year, you can go to the swamp to dig peat as fertilizer.

It is not until the land becomes insufficiently fertile after years of continuous cultivation that composting of human and animal manure is needed to improve the soil.

Leo was depressed. It seemed that the shit and urine I had been playing with for several days were of no use now?

But he also knew that the more fertilizer you apply on the farm, the better. Various factors are important and everything must be adapted to local conditions.

In this regard, the help he can provide is far less than that of an experienced old farmer.

The day after Bobak arrived, the Wild Folk tribe received the news. Elder Zulwan brought a group of Wild Folk hunters and druids to the river bend to pay homage to their land walker.

Because of the presence of Bobak and his disciple Freya, the wild folk and the villagers of Riverbend were all in harmony and exchanged many gifts with each other. It was a nice social gathering.
