Chapter 111 Magic Plant Harvest
There are a total of 200 acres of magic fields in Pingdingshan, of which 150 acres are high-quality barley and 40 acres are high-quality black wolfberry.

The last ten acres are higher lavender, higher Centella asiatica, etc.

Rhodes looked towards the area where high-grade black wolfberries were grown.

Different from the high yield of high-quality barley, high-quality black wolfberry needs to absorb a lot of nutrients during its growth and is difficult to plant densely.

Only three plants can be planted in each acre of magic field. If there are more, they will compete with each other for nutrients, and in the end no one will be able to grow well.

They need time to accumulate slowly before they can grow into high-quality fruits that nourish the knights.

But that was in the past, due to insufficient nutrient supply in the Demonic Field.

As hundreds of orcs were devoured by the magic field, their flesh, blood and bones were decomposed in the field, and abundant nutrients were released.

The magic light shines in the fields.

Under the stimulation, the underground roots of high-quality black wolfberry began to expand wildly and continued to spread in all directions.

With the dual nutrient supply of matter and magic, the stems and leaves on the surface grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The upright stem shoots up and grows four branches regularly in the four directions of front, back, left and right. Five budding fruits hang under each branch.

An hour later, under the nourishment of the magic field, a total of four acres of high-quality black wolfberries matured and produced fruits.

"One hundred and twelve orc corpses were used to ripen twelve high-quality black wolfberries. Each plant produced twenty fruits, for a total of two hundred and forty fruits."

When Rhodes saw the final harvest, a happy smile appeared on his face.

After being blended with his magic power, one high-grade black wolfberry can be made into a strengthening potion.

Five strengthening potions can allow an ordinary adult to become a knight within half a month.

If a professional soldier has strong physical fitness, he only needs three or four copies to successfully enter the first-level knight level.

In other words, reap the fruits now.

At least it would allow Rhodes to train sixty knights within half a month!

The conversion rate between corpses and harvests was almost half, and Motian's efficiency did not disappoint his expectations.

"There is finally hope to fill the gap in knight combat power. Once this group of knights are promoted, the army's cavalry will be truly formed."

Currently, the combat effectiveness of the territory's army relies entirely on shield and spear soldiers, and it is difficult for cavalry to play a key role in combat.

This was especially evident when fighting against the White Frost Cult.

If it weren't for the Icebreaker Beast leading the herd of cattle to attack from the flank and disrupt the enemy's formation.

With Rhodes' current cavalry strength, it was far from possible to break into the enemy's formation and complete his goal of beheading them.

Even though he is now respected as the Knight of the White Horse by others, his fame surpasses that of Kelvin, one of the Twelve Seats.

But leaving aside the infantry's combat power, let's just compare the cavalry's strength.

Kelvin had a cavalry of 500 men, including 100 plate cavalry and 50 knights.

Crush Rhodes's personal guard battalion in strength.

Of course, paper combat power and actual combat are two different things.

The total combat power of the Dune Castle's army far exceeds that of the White Frost Cult, and in theory it is enough to easily defeat the enemy.

As a result, a large group of nobles' private soldiers were mixed together and could not form an effective command.

Under the influence of chaos, the combat power of one plus one is less than one.

Rhodes should take this as a warning. Training knights is indeed important, but what is more important is to ensure the unified command of the army.

With the current size of his army and his own reputation, he is capable of commanding sixty knights and there is no need to worry too much.

But if there were 600 knights, the excessive number would lead to their inflated desires, and it would be a disaster.

Bringing his thoughts back to the present, Rhodes approached the high-grade black wolfberry and collected the ripe fruits one by one.

After finishing the harvest, he did not leave, but took out the blue crystal.

This is the key item removed from the scepter of Archbishop White Frost.

Although most of the magic power inside was consumed due to the strengthening of the Frost Soldiers.

But the remaining magic power is still not a small amount. The blue crystal is the blood artifact of the barbarians, and it is also called a rare item in Rhode's place.

This rare object was of no use to him, so Rhodes prepared to dismantle the blue crystal.

After the second-level wolf soul inside is extracted, it can be used to create a magic gathering array that gathers magic power.

The blue crystal itself can act as a container for storing magic power and serve as the main part of the magic pool.

Before disassembling it, Rhodes needs to release the magic power inside first.

He squatted down and pressed the blue crystal on the magic field.

At the same time, his own magic power turned into an invisible blade at his fingertips and pierced into one of the sides.

The sound of a balloon bursting could be faintly heard in the air, and suddenly a strong wind blew up and spread in all directions.

Rhodes could feel the temperature around him dropping rapidly, as if a cold wave was coming.

The ground touched by the strong wind was instantly covered with a thick layer of white frost.

It’s a pity that this is not a real cold wave.

And Rhodes was in the very center of the Demonic Field.

After the icy magic surged out of the blue crystal, the magic field became active again, swallowing it up in big gulps.

Without the propulsion of magic, the strong wind gradually lost its strength, quickly dissipated, and turned into nutrients.

Under Rhodes' guidance, these nutrients were once again absorbed by the advanced black wolfberry.

But this time the situation is slightly different.

He came to the area where the fruit was produced.

The normal fruit skin of high-quality black wolfberry is black and the size of a thumb.

But the skin of the fruit in front of him was dark blue, and even emitted bursts of white icy mist from the surface.

"It looks like it has been contaminated by the magic of ice." Rhodes squatted beside the fruit and observed it carefully.

The magic in the blue crystal is different from natural magic and has special properties under the influence of strange objects.

Judging from previous performance, it can stimulate the beast bloodline of the barbarians.

This is also the reason why Rhodes wants to consume it. This kind of magic power will pollute his magic pool.

He originally wanted to let the magic field absorb it to avoid waste.

But now it seems that even with the filtering of the magic field, it still has an irreversible impact on the six acres of high-quality black wolfberries in front of us.

A total of eighteen high-grade black wolfberries were affected, and all grew dark blue fruits.

After Rhodes took it off and analyzed its medicinal properties, he discovered its miraculous effect.

【Name: Ice Vein Fruit】

[Quality: First-level advanced magic plant]

[Effect: Nourishment (weak), Ice Evolution (weak)]

After a week of research, Rod came to a conclusion.

He looked at a captured winter wolf.

After being fed an evolution potion made from three ice vein fruits, the winter wolf successfully shed its hair and began to evolve into an ice blade wolf.

I have to say this was a pleasant surprise.

Ice Vein Fruit is a mutation from a higher level black wolfberry, and it is a mutation for the better.

While inheriting the nourishing effects, it also has the power to evolve animals into monsters.

It is not edible for humans and will cause severe diarrhea and vomiting, and the body will clearly reject the effects of the medicine.

But the animals in the North are different. As long as their bloodlines are compatible, the Ice Vein Fruit can allow them to quickly evolve into powerful ice-type monsters.
