The efficiency of the Church of Void Mask was very high. Just half an hour later, Miramon, who had received the oracle, found Krieg to discuss the cultivation of herbs.
After listening to him, Krieg was stunned at first, but after careful consideration, he was overjoyed.
Not to mention the fact that this matter could strengthen the relationship between the Keane family and the Church of Void Mask, just the cultivation of herbs itself would have great benefits.
The super harvest of Baron Keane's territory was too eye-catching. One or two years, they could still muddle through, but after a long time, something was bound to happen. This was like a child carrying a big gold ingot and walking alone on an unfamiliar street. The only thing missing was a banner with the words "courting death" written on it.
So even if there were no herbs to grow, Krieg had already considered adjusting the agricultural planting plan of the territory, reducing the planting area of grain to make room for something else.
Previously, he had considered planting fruit trees. The fruit harvest would be the same anyway, so it wouldn't be too eye-catching. And fruit trees used much less manpower than grain, which could save a lot of manpower for other work.
But fruit trees also had shortcomings. From cultivation to harvest, it took a few years to grow. During this time, it was not suitable to use spells to reduce, otherwise the quality of the fruit would be reduced. If a large number of farmland in the territory were changed to trees, the agricultural income in the next few years would be very tight.
As for vegetables, the level of transportation in this world was tragic. Vegetables, which were not convenient to transport and were cheap, could only be sold in the original land. There was no way to do business. Perhaps it could increase some production to improve the living standards of the people, but it could not be the dominant factor.
In fact, fruits were similar, but fruit trees could produce nuts, which were very convenient to transport. Even if the fruit was not suitable for transport, it could be used to make fruit wine, which was a good way out.
Speaking of fruit wine, grain could also be used to make wine. However, although this could solve the problem of too much grain harvest, it could not prevent people from spying on it, so it was better to forget about it.
This was Krieg's original plan, but now it seemed that there was a better choice.
If he were to plant herbs, the harvest would be relatively small. Even if the price of herbs was high, at least there would not be a lot of food that would attract attention. Secondly, planting herbs would be of great benefit to the people and society. As long as it was on a large scale, he could use the signboard of "protecting the herb fields" to attract many kind and upright people to help him. Lastly, he could use this matter to enhance the status of Baron Keane in the circle of power of the Church of the Void Mask. It would be easier to get help at critical moments.
In short, there were many advantages and no disadvantages. It was simply perfect!
Of course, if one were to take it seriously, there would still be some harm. For example, by doing so, it was tantamount to tying the Land of Keyen to the chariot of the Church of the Void Mask. In the future, if there were enemies who wanted to go against the Church of the Void Mask, they might not be able to do anything to the Land of Geerteng, which was guarded by the chosen one of the God of Knowledge, or the City of Garth, which was guarded by the legendary peak "King of the Seaside" Leon Igor, but they definitely had a way to deal with the Land of Keyen. That was to say, in the future, if someone attacked the Church of the Void Mask, the Land of Keyen would most likely be the first to bear the brunt.
But this "harm" was really not a big deal. Anyway, the current situation of Keane Land was not much better. Not to mention the future, they did not even know if they could overcome the obstacle of being targeted by His Majesty the Grand Duke!
By tying himself to the chariot of the Church of the Void Mask, there might indeed be great danger in the future, but at least he could avoid the immediate crisis.
That was enough. The fire was burning the eyebrows, so he had to focus on what was in front of him first!
Therefore, he agreed to Miramon's proposal and immediately began to plan the medicine field.
First of all, the transportation to the herb field must be convenient so that it would be convenient to pick and store the medicinal herbs.
Secondly, the medicine field must be clean and tidy, and the interior must be arranged in small pieces so that it would be convenient for planting and maintenance.
Also, it was best to build the medicine field in a conspicuous place to distract the attention of other territories and let everyone's attention be diverted from the "unusual harvest of Baron Keane Land".
As for other factors, there were many, and he listed them one by one.
After listing these factors that needed to be considered, he compared the map of the Keane Land and studied it.
Places close to mountains and rivers were not good because they had to prevent damage from natural and man-made disasters such as wild beasts, monsters, floods, and so on.
Places too close to the main road were not good because the dust would fly, and the quality of the medicinal herbs might be affected.
Places where the terrain was not flat and open enough were not good because it had to be convenient for the medicine farmers to work.
After careful consideration, he finally drew a few areas on the map and chose them as his temporary targets.
The next day, the Church of the Void Mask sent a high-level mage. This mage was called Felix, and he had a good record in the first World Martial Arts Tournament. He was known as the "Galloping Archer" and was best at using a magic wand to launch all kinds of ray spells. It was said that he was an advanced mage that was extremely inclined towards combat.
Crick naturally looked at her attributes and was shocked. Special bloodline, Intelligence 20, Charm 18, Perception 16, Agility 16, Physique 14 … Apart from her slightly lower strength, this female mage was simply superhuman!
And her levels were also very cool: Ranger, Warlock, Ancientspirit Warlock, Magic Cannon Warrior, adding up to a total of 19 levels.
Crick really wanted to know what the "Ancientspirit Warlock" and "Magic Cannon Warrior" were. He had never heard of such a profession!
However, although they had a good impression of each other at 60 points, they were not friends after all. It was not appropriate for him to rashly ask this kind of question that was obviously a private matter, so he could only suppress his curiosity for the time being.
Mage Felix brought a set of detailed information, which not only included the identification and cultivation of various medicinal herbs, but also many prevention, diagnosis, and treatment methods of many diseases. In particular, there were twenty-one types of germs that caused common symptoms, and introduced the subtle differences in the symptoms and the specific diagnosis methods. It also introduced the methods to prevent infection and treatment. In particular, there was a set of very complete and reliable treatment plans for eight of the germs. Crick did not know medicine, but just by looking at this set of plans, he felt that they would definitely be effective.
"This information … is too valuable!" He said with some uneasiness.
"This is the research results of a master of our church," Mage Felix said. Wizard Felix said, "How many generations of his ancestors have spent more than a thousand years of research, and it was only in his generation that they finally achieved initial success and achieved these results. However, he did not want to be like those narrow-minded old men who kept their own research results. Instead, he hoped to spread it so that more people could benefit from it. "
Crick was instantly filled with deep respect, and in his heart, he placed Master Arcaien Pasteur, who signed this information, on the position of a medical saint born of all Buddhas. If this was on Earth, perhaps with just this information, this master would be able to compete with Zhang Zhongjing for the title of "Medical Saint", or with the doctor with the long name in ancient Europe, for the qualifications to have the doctors of later generations swear by his portrait.
"I will definitely take good care of this information, and choose outstanding people to study it!" He said seriously.
Mage Felix smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Actually, our church is building a school for doctors. If you are interested, you can send some people to study. However, it is best to send those who have some talent in magic, because our school for doctors does not only teach medicine, but also spells in the direction of diagnosis and treatment — mainly the divine arts. So if you don't mind, we can train them to be priests who believe in the Lord's Void Mask. "
Crick could not help but widen his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up as he laughed.
"Of course not! Please wait a few days, I will start selecting talents in the territory! "
After sending off Mage Felix, he could not help but jump up and cheer.
"That's great!"
The Church of the Void Mask did things sincerely. Not only did they give him the information, but they could also help train doctors. Not only that, they were even willing to help train priests!
Even if they trained priests who believed in the Void Mask, a priest was still a priest! As a Spellcaster who was good at healing, no territory would complain about having too many priests! The more the better!
Crick had long wanted to train some Spellcasters, but it was very difficult to train Spellcasters. Mages needed a long time and a lot of money to learn, Warlocks needed special talents and bloodlines, and priests needed to be inspired by the gods … The other Spellcaster professions also had all kinds of harsh requirements.
Perhaps for experienced adventurers, these difficulties could be overcome. Many experienced adventurers would try to learn some spellcasting abilities. But for ordinary civilians, these requirements were simply like a natural moat that could not be crossed, and it was unknown how many people were stumped.
Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, of course, Crick had to grasp it tightly. Perhaps these civilians in the territory were not talented enough, and could not become outstanding priests. But even if they could only train a few doctors who had a rough understanding of magic, it would still be a great success!
One had to know that in most baronial territories, it was already very impressive to have two or three low-level priests. Even if the students he selected could only reach that level, it was enough to make other barons jealous.
Not to mention … Crick was very confident in his "foresight." The key attribute of a priest was Perception, followed by Intelligence, and then Charm. As long as he selected young people with higher attributes in these three attributes and gave them enough support, they would definitely be able to learn and come back to benefit the villages.
Maybe they would even be talented and show their talents in the Church of the Void Mask. From then on, they would soar into the sky and become middle-level or even high-level priests!
Thinking of this, Crick could not help but giggle …
