MC's career as foreign lord

"What 'Elf Fruit'? So you guys call this plant 'Elf Fruit'?" Zhou Ren also noticed that the fruit produced by this plant was exactly the same as the fruit Leah had shown him before, the one she usually eats.

He also picked two fruits. One plant had four fruits, so the yield seemed pretty good.

"Leah, you said one fruit can keep you full for a day, right?" Zhou Ren said.

Leah nodded. "Yes! Eating one fruit keeps me from being hungry all day!"

Anna patted her head. "Only your teacher would be willing to give you Elf Fruit to eat as meals."

"Is this fruit very precious?" Zhou Ren was taken aback. He was planning to plant it on a large scale!

After the plant's fruit was harvested, it didn't disappear but remained there, just like some vegetables. It seemed like it could keep bearing fruit and being harvested continuously, which was much more convenient than wheat!

"Yes, Elf Fruit is only produced by the Tree of Life, and it's inherently a very precious fruit. It has the effect of enhancing an elf's potential. Even the elven royalty has a limited quota each year and can't eat too much!" Anna explained.

"I see!" Zhou Ren nodded. "So, can I plant more of them?"

"Elf Fruit seeds originally shouldn't be able to grow in any soil. I didn't expect..." Anna sighed. "Plant them. It would be great if you could grow them!"

She looked at Zhou Ren, who was happily busy, with a strange expression as he stuffed a bag of strange wheat seeds—now called Elf Fruit seeds—into the soil. They seemed to be growing very well.

"Aren't you curious about the origin of these things?" Only after Zhou Ren stood up straight and planted all the Elf Fruit did she ask, puzzled.

Zhou Ren replied with a smile, "Of course I'm curious. Gods, Sages, elven royalty, the Tree of Life—these are all things I want to know. But I can't force you to tell me, can I?"

"If you want to tell me, you'll tell me sooner or later. If you don't want to, what can I do even if I'm curious?"

He had a very clear understanding of the situation, which left Anna speechless for a moment. This man had too many secrets and mysteries, as if he could never be seen clearly.

"Do you want to tell me? Then let's go home and talk slowly!" Zhou Ren said, looking at his farmland with a gratified smile.

"Leah, let's go fishing!" Zhou Ren said!

"Coming!" Leah was also very happy and ran back excitedly. "Let's go fishing!"

Zhou Ren also looked at Anna, extended his hand, and said, "Miss Anna, shall we?"

Anna looked at his face, nodded gently, and together they embarked on the journey back.

At this time, Dag was slowly climbing down the steps from the tree farm entrance. "Farm, huh? Xiong Xiong is coming!"

—

Inside the room, Leah was eating the fruit, munching happily, while Zhou Ren had already taken out a piece of paper, ready to write down the key points.

"Um... where should I start?" Anna said. "Let's start with the Sage Calamity!"

"The Sage Calamity, also known as the Year of Turmoil, the War of the Gods, or When the Gods Walked Toril! It was a war of the gods a long time ago!"

"Because the Triad of Gods of Death stole the Tablets of Fate from the Overgod AO, AO furiously stripped the gods of their divine positions. The gods became Sages, and only by finding the tablets could they restore their divine functions and return to the Astral Plane!" (This story is placed in the work-related section)

"In that era, except for the guardian, the God of Justice, Tyr, all the gods existed as Sages, and they became gods who could be killed by mortals!"

After glancing at Zhou Ren, Anna continued, "But this is actually a story from many years ago. As Cyric offered the Tablets of Fate, the gods returned to the upper realm, and no Sages have appeared in the world since!"

Zhou Ren nodded. If she continued to talk, it might be a very long story involving all the existing gods, so it's better not to elaborate.

"Let's talk about the elves and this fruit! From what you said before, this fruit seems very important!"

Anna nodded. "Yes, after the five Crown Wars (elven civil wars), the existing Trees of Life of the elves are very scarce, and Elf Fruit is only produced by the Trees of Life, so it is particularly rare."

She glanced at Zhou Ren's vegetable garden. He was really treating the elves' treasure as a vegetable to plant! Anna's eyes twitched slightly. This man was truly incomprehensible!

"Then, the meaning of your previous guess that I was a Sage is... do you really think I'm a god?" Zhou Ren said. He was also very curious as to why the other party thought so.

"After the Shadow Year (Year of Turmoil), there shouldn't have been any gods descending into the world, but when that block shattered, I did feel a real and genuine divinity!" Anna said. "That's also the time I was imprisoned, the divinity invaded my memory and made me unable to move!"

However, she began to frown again. "But this divinity is very strange. After it started invading my body, it just scanned my body and left dejectedly..."

"Maybe it was looking for whether your body was suitable for farming!" Zhou Ren retorted.

"What?" Anna was stunned, indicating that she hadn't heard clearly just now.

Zhou Ren waved his hand. "It's nothing. I can tell you that I'm not a god, maybe just an ordinary person with special abilities. Gods and such are too far away from me!"

He said curiously, "If I start selling this Elf Fruit, do you think anyone will buy it?"

Although Zhou Ren doesn't actually lack money now, he has to plan ahead. One who does not plan for the ages is not enough to plan for a moment. He always needs to consider the future, doesn't he?

"Sell Elf Fruit? How is that possible..." Anna stopped halfway through her sentence. Given the yield of Zhou Ren's land, it might not be long before it was higher than the entire Silvermoon Empire's Elf Fruit production!

"How many days does it take for your fruit to mature?" she suddenly asked, actually starting to consider the feasibility of this matter.

Zhou Ren thought for a moment: "About two and a half days?" The maturity speed is similar to potatoes and beets, which is the maturity speed of ordinary vegetables.

"But it's not like there's no way to ripen them quickly," Zhou Ren added. "As long as there are enough bones, I can ripen hundreds of them for you in a day!"

"Hiss!" Anna felt a pain in her teeth. Did this man know what he was saying! This was Elf Fruit, a treasure used by elves to enhance their potential and magical affinity. Even someone with Leah's status only had a quota of less than twenty a year!

But Zhou Ren had as much as he wanted. She suddenly felt a little sorry for those old mages who argued about the number of Elf Fruits every day, but thinking about it, it seemed understandable.

The Silvermoon Queen once prayed to Corellon, hoping to bestow a method to transplant and grow Elf Fruit seeds, but unfortunately, the oracle only gave a short sentence: "I can't do it!"

Corellon was also a very interesting deity. His words and actions were straightforward and delightful, not at all like a chief god. But this also symbolically illustrated the lack of elven fruit.

At the same time, it could be seen as indirectly expressing Zhou Ren's identity. Although he kept saying he wasn't a god or a saint, someone who could do things that gods couldn't, wasn't a god, so what was he, a human?

Anna didn't believe it anyway. "Don't sell it to others. This is a divine object of the elves. Wait a while, and I'll have someone from the elven race come and talk to you!"

Zhou Ren was noncommittal. "Okay!" He wasn't in a hurry anyway. He hadn't spent all his money yet, and the girl next to him looked like she came from a wealthy family. He wondered... could he sell her some more things?

He hadn't even explored this town yet, let alone other places. So, besides the blacksmith shop, the only place to make money quickly was Old Ford's shop, which specialized in magical business.

"Although I don't know what you're thinking, I bet you're plotting against me!" Anna said, raising her swan-like slender neck. "It's getting late, I have to take Leah away!"

Zhou Ren smiled sheepishly. He knew his gaze just now was impolite, and said, "Then I'll see you off!"

Although there were many unexpected things today, the overall result wasn't too bad. He learned some secrets belonging to the elven high-level. Although he didn't seek a thorough understanding, it was still a great help for him to understand the world.

It was getting late, and Zhou Ren suddenly realized that the tasks he had written in his chronicle, besides going down the mine and planting sugar cane, seemed to be almost completed!

Then he glanced outside again. Well, it was still desolate. It seemed that his task was still a long way to go!

Just at this moment, Leah ran over in a panic and rushed into Anna's arms.

The most \\u22a5 new \\u22a5 novel \\u22a5 is \\u22a5 at \\u22a5 six \\u22a5 9 \\u22a5 \\u22a5 book \\u22a5 \\u22a5 bar \\u22a5 \\u22a5 first \\u22a5 release!

"Ya, ya, ya! The weird fish there is dead!" she said, pointing to the enclosed fish pond not far away.

Just now, Zhou Ren and Anna were chatting inside the house. It seemed that the little girl didn't follow the fishing agreement and ran around everywhere, probably wandering to the location of the abyssal magic fish.

Anna said, "Leah must have seen it wrong. As a member of the creator race, abyssal magic fish are difficult to kill. Even the gods can only seal them most of the time..."

Zhou Ren saw that the little girl was a little panicked, stepped forward and touched her head, "Leah, why are you suddenly running around?"

Leah said, "Bear Bear suddenly disappeared. I want to find Bear Bear. It likes to eat fruits the most!"

She looked like she was about to cry, and it seemed that she had finally discovered that her little bear was missing, so how could she be in the mood to fish?

Zhou Ren thought for a while, "When was the last time you saw that bear? Oh, right, it was when I went to the field to plant vegetables. Let's go to the field and look for it!"

They were very excited, as if they had finally found a direction. The three of them walked towards the farmland together. When passing by the fish pond, Anna took a special look.

The legendary ancient creature, the ruler of the world before the gods, the most powerful aquatic hunter on the continent, the immortal demon, the ultimate nightmare of the creator race—the abyssal magic fish, had lost all its aura and was floating in the water like this.

Zhou Ren also saw this scene, and sighed, "Oh dear, it's dead! It seems that I can't use puffer fish to feed it next time, let's try poisonous potatoes!"

He thought about cleaning up the fish when he got back, digging a hole and burying it or burning it. He wondered if ancient creatures could fertilize the fields, or maybe burning it into ashes and sprinkling it in the fields would be a good choice.

The three of them finally walked to the vicinity of the farmland. It was close to dusk, and in this environment, finding a dark bear was really a bit difficult.

Zhou Ren looked at Anna. Among the three, the most likely to do this was this beautiful blonde elf. She knew magic, so it should be easy to find, right?

Unexpectedly, Anna seemed to see through his thoughts and shook her head, "Dagg is a spirit creature. Don't look at it as a bear, it's actually just maintaining the appearance of a bear. It can't be locked by magic!"

"Spirit creature?" Zhou Ren asked in confusion, "I always thought it was a bear!"

"Spirit creatures are also the fairies in your human mouths. They are the spirits of the world, and can also be said to be the materialized manifestation of the spirit," Anna said. "Its fur has permanent magic resistance, so you won't be able to find it."

"Then we can only look for it slowly!" Zhou Ren said, "If it's not in the field, then we can only go to the forest and take a look!"

He suddenly thought of Leah's strange luck. Could there be some connection with the little bear Dagg? If so, what would it be?

Leah walked in the field very dejectedly, "Bear Bear! Where are you! Leah has your favorite fruits here! Come out quickly!"

Then, Zhou Ren saw a sneaky black object crawling up with some difficulty from beside his feet, and then sitting on his feet, holding his chest with chubby hands!

"Ha! You're here!" Zhou Ren smiled, took out two fingers, and lifted Dagg up, "Leah, look what this is!"

"Ah!" The little girl let out a loud cheer, rushed over and held the little bear in her hands, "Bear Bear! Where did you run off to! I'll give you fruits to eat!"

Then she saw that the bear actually took out a fruit almost the size of its head, and her face suddenly became unhappy, "Dagg! You actually... actually hid fruits! I'm going to spank you!"

As she spoke, she started playing hide-and-seek with the little bear, frolicking in the farmland.

On the other side, Anna also said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've seen Leah so happy! Since leaving the forest!"

Zhou Ren asked, "Can't you go back?"

"Leah has a special identity, so it's best not to go back!" She looked at the little girl, "Thank you, Zhou Ren. No matter what, today was a pleasant experience! I will go back and discuss with the elders of the elves to give you a suitable price!"

Zhou Ren smiled, "I hope that when we meet next time, there will be much less sorrow on your face!"

"Haha! With a friend like you, there will definitely be!" Anna waved with a smile!

"Leah, say goodbye to brother, we're leaving!"

"Big brother, see you tomorrow!"

"Goodbye!" Zhou Ren waved his hand!
