Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

She looked at Elena and did not embarrass her. Instead, she asked her to sit down and calmed her uneasy mood.

"The Water Temple and the Earth Mother Temple are one family. I will naturally not refuse your request."

Hearing Kato Megumi say this, Elena breathed a sigh of relief.

"In fact, the effect of tea leaves is not to restore talent as you said. The reason why Priest Elena was able to recover is because I added a drop of precious potion into it."

"Potion?"

Elena asked.

"Yes, the potion... This potion is very precious. It was given to me by a friend of mine."

Hearing Kato Megumi say this, Elena frowned.

"Your Majesty, if you have any requests, please feel free to ask. As long as it is something that Elena can do and does not exceed the bottom line, please be sure to give me such a chance."

Of course, Elena knew how precious the talent-restoring potion was. It was equivalent to the fountain of life. If she gave such a thing to others for free, even Elena herself would feel it was worth it only if she traded it for something of equal value.

So she made her decision to Kato Megumi without hesitation. After all, the chance only came once, and if she missed it, it would be gone. She had to choose between being an ordinary priest with a lifespan of only 200 years, living an ordinary and mediocre life, or moving to a higher stage, living a long and rewarding life.

I believe that if everyone faces such a choice, they will seize this opportunity like her.

Besides, the other party is the saint of the Temple of Mother Earth, and is known by everyone as a kind, generous and capable saint. So Elena feels that even if the other party asks her to do something, it will not violate her bottom line too much. Elena understands this better than others, so she dares to make a promise.

"Don't worry, this potion is prepared for you, so you don't need to promise anything."

"For me?"

Elena wondered.

"Yes," Kato Hui smiled, "I just learned from Aina that the two branch halls were allies before, not like now where they dislike each other."

"If it weren't for the selfishness of some people, which caused the relationship between the two branches to take a sharp turn for the worse, I'm sure the relationship between the two would be like this now, and they would support each other and grow together."

"So when I heard that Priest Elena had paid a heavy price for this and her talent was damaged, I prepared this gift. I knew that if I wanted to restore the relationship between the two, the most important thing was to resolve the key contradiction." Kato Hui looked at Elena gently, then took out a bottle of potion from the space and handed it to her, "So this bottle of stuff was originally prepared for you. I hope that the two branch temples can restore the previous situation and form an alliance in the future."

"This is my sincerity, Priest Elena."

After hearing Kato Megumi's explanation, Elena didn't expect the other party to say that. She raised her head and looked at the other party in a daze, then looked conflicted.

"If this is the compensation from the Saint on behalf of the Temple to Elena, then Elena will accept it; but if you use this to ask the Water Temple and the Earth Mother Temple to form an alliance again, then Elena..."

"After all, the temple's betrayal is still fresh in our memory. Although the temple did not suffer any loss because of my presence, once the trust is cracked, it can never be restored."

"Well……"

Kato Megumi didn't expect the other party to refuse, but after thinking about it, she chuckled, reached out her hand, opened the other party's hand, and then put it in his palm.

"I think Priest Elena may have misunderstood. I am not using this thing to ask the two temples to form an alliance again. This potion is just my compensation to you with the temple of the past. It is not a forced alliance between the two. I just hope that there will be no hostility between the two and peace can be restored."

Hearing Kato Megumi say this, Elena breathed a sigh of relief.

"Besides, the current temple is not the previous temple. There is not much connection between the two. The people or events of that time have long become the past. The current branch temple is a new branch temple. Don't you think so? Priest Elena."

Looking at the burning look in Kato Megumi's eyes, Elena was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

"You're right, it's indeed different. Since my talent can be restored, why should I be obsessed with it..."

The two looked at each other and then smiled knowingly. The grudges in the temple disappeared. Although the previous alliance could not be restored, at least they started again.

Kato Megumi also felt relieved, knowing that there would be no major problems with this branch temple after she left, and Aina could grow up slowly.

Now that the old grudge has been resolved, Kato Megumi began to discuss cooperation with the other party.

"Now that the old grudges in the temple have been resolved, it's time to discuss cooperation with Priest Elena..."

"Cooperation?" Elena paused, then looked at Kato Megumi, "I wonder what the Saint wants us to cooperate on... Let me be clear, although the past is the past, the basis of cooperation is common interests. If Her Majesty the Saint wants to rely on the favor just now and let Elena use her power to help unilaterally, then Elena cannot agree to you..."

Hearing Elena's words, Kato Hui knew that she had truly let go of the old grudge. She smiled without saying anything, took out a black object from the space and placed it on the table. This made Elena a little puzzled, and before she could ask Kato Hui, she asked.

"I wonder what Priest Elena thinks of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and the like?"

"how?"

Although she didn't know why the saint suddenly mentioned food when she was originally talking about cooperation, Elena answered honestly, remembering the deep impression left by that meal they had at the restaurant.

“It’s delicious, very good, and the price is very cheap. Although it’s food I’ve never seen before, I have to say that such delicious food really makes life wonderful.”

Thinking of the delicious French fries, mapo tofu, and roasted sweet potatoes, Elena couldn't help but sigh.

"What if we popularize this..."

"Popularize?" Elena looked at Kato Hui in surprise. She didn't expect the other party to say that. "Could this be the purpose of your cooperation with the Temple? Although the popularization of this delicacy is good, between survival and deliciousness, survival is the most important thing, right?"

Elena frowned.

"If you want to use the prestige of the Water Temple to help popularize these things, then you may have made a wrong idea. Not to mention whether the temple will help you, this kind of thing is far from being a substitute for food. No matter how delicious it is, no one will dare to try it easily. Besides, aren't you afraid that if you popularize these things, your restaurant business will no longer be the same as before?"

"Excuse me, if the content of your cooperation is like this, it will do more harm than good to the Temple. Even if I agree, the people of the Water Temple will not agree."

Although Elena was the head of the branch temple, even the royal family had to listen to the ministers and be restrained by them, let alone her? Although she could help the saint on her own, why would she do something that had no benefit to the temple? Not only would there be no benefit, but she would also lose her reputation, which was even more unprofitable.

Although the saint gave her a potion to repair her talent, one thing is for sure. The other party had already said that this was compensation for her, and Elena accepted it.

If she was asked to do something personally, she might help the saint without hesitation, but if it harmed the interests of the Water Temple, she would be powerless to do anything.

Hearing Elena's refusal, Kato Hui was not surprised. She blinked, looked at Elena with a smile, and said softly.

"What if it's beneficial but not harmful?"

"Is it beneficial or harmless?"

Elena was puzzled.

"I don't quite understand what you mean. From the current perspective, it is obvious that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. I don't think the common people will give up growing their own food for that little bit of delicious food. Am I wrong?"

Facing Elena's puzzled look, Kato Hui blinked.

"I think you may have misunderstood the priest. Whether it's sweet potatoes or potatoes, I want to popularize them not because of their taste, but because of their yield..."

"Production? How much can it be?"

Elena suddenly became curious. How much food was produced? Why did the saint want to popularize it so urgently?

I saw Kato Megumi in front of me suddenly smiled and spoke slowly.

"Five thousand catties. These grains can produce five thousand catties per mu."

"impossible!"

Elena rejected it subconsciously, but seemed to realize that she had overreacted. She coughed and then looked at Kato Megumi.

"Your Majesty, although I don't know why you want to popularize these things, I hope you won't exaggerate their production in order to gain the help of the Water Temple."

Feeling that the attitude of the saint in front of her was very improper, Elena did not feel angry about it. Instead, she frowned and spoke tactfully.

"Your Majesty may not know what a yield of 5000 catties per mu means, but I want to tell you that generally, fields without magic power can only yield 300 catties per mu if the soil is fertile. Occasionally, with the addition of priests, it may yield 500 catties per mu. And the grain produced by magicians can only yield less than 5000 catties per mu at most. Your claim that the yield of those grains can be catties per mu is really exaggerated."

Listening to Elena introducing the local per-acre yield to her, Kato Megumi blinked.

"Well... Hui is not exaggerating... They are indeed producing 5000 catties per mu, and this is still a lower yield. If it is an area with fertile soil, it is no problem to produce catties per mu. If there is a magician to promote the yield, it can exceed catties per mu."

However, even though Kato Megumi said this, she was still met with Elena's somewhat ridiculous look. She even wondered if this saint had some obsession with delicious food, so she wanted to promote those delicious foods. But delicious food is delicious, and the most important thing is the yield.

The deliciousness alone is not enough to make the common people give up their own planting experience, give up their own survival, and turn to growing unfamiliar crops.

Seeing Elena's disbelieving eyes, Kato Hui sighed in her heart. She knew it would be like this. She was sure that even if the people in the temple said so, she would not believe it. After all, the yield per mu had increased tenfold. Anyone who had not seen it with their own eyes would probably not believe it.

But luckily she had already prepared a plan.

Then Elena saw Kato Megumi stretch out her hand and start fiddling with the black lump she took out. She didn't know what she was doing. Then there was a slight click of her fingertips, and suddenly a picture appeared on the flat surface of the black lump, which surprised Elena for a while.

"Is this... an echoing prop?"

"Well... this is a camera. It can record the images within the range of illumination. Since you don't believe it, I can only let you see it with your own eyes."

Kato Megumi explained.

Elena knew that the Saint could make props, but she didn't expect that she could even make this kind of prop. You know, these props that can record scenes are very valuable, and they are all legacies of ancient magic, extremely rare, and even Elena had only heard of them but never seen them.

And now, I actually saw such a prop here. I can imagine how talented this saint is in making props.

This is not just about making props, this is simply a master-level prop maker.

However, before she could sigh, her attention was attracted by the pictures in the camera.

What was played above was the scene of Ina directing the girls to plant potatoes. In order to facilitate popularization in the future, Kato Megumi placed cameras next to the fields early on to record the scenes of planting, rooting, sprouting and harvesting. What was now displayed on the camera was the original planting scene, but it was played at more than ten times the speed for ease of viewing.

As the footage played, the original scenes were revealed one by one, and Elena's expression changed with the content.

From the initial surprise to the subsequent calmness and then to the later astonishment, whether it was the saint's ability to induce labor or the huge size of the potatoes dug out, these made Elena unforgettable for a long time, and she even doubted whether what she saw was real.

After being stunned for a long time, she slowly came to her senses and finally looked at Kato Megumi with an incredible look.

"Your Majesty...are these true? They are really that powerful. This is simply unbelievable."

Elena looked at Kato Megumi with disbelief on her face, wanting to ask her for an answer, but in fact it didn’t matter whether she answered or not. The Huiying prop was right in front of her, and seeing was believing, so how could it be fake?

As Kato Megumi nodded slowly, Elena slowly exhaled, and then her emotions began to stabilize.

She looked at Kato Megumi seriously and confirmed again.

"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to cooperate with the Water Temple to popularize them?"

"Of course...Isn't it possible?"

Kato Megumi blinked in confusion.

"You have to know that this is not just a matter of food. This is something that can change the entire world. The huge faith and prestige involved are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Are you sure you want to share it with the Water Temple?"

Elena confirmed every word with Kato Megumi, but Kato Megumi still nodded.

"Priest Elena, you don't need to ask me again and again. If you can think of these, I can think of them too. I want to cooperate with the Water Temple not only for cooperation, but also to make up for it. After all, the previous potions were compensated to the priests personally, and there must be compensation for the temple as well? This is the compensation I give... Of course, this is not the only idea. There are also other reasons such as the lack of prestige and poor execution of the Earth Mother Goddess branch temple."

"Besides, the sooner it is popularized, the more common people will no longer have to worry about food problems."

Hearing Kato Megumi say this, Elena let out a slow breath, her expression relaxed and enlightened.

"I didn't expect that the cooperation the Saint mentioned would be this great gift. Please forgive my previous attitude, and please allow me to thank you for your generosity and thank you for those civilians..."

Elena bowed solemnly and Kato Megumi accepted it with a smile.

Both of them knew how great an impact this kind of thing would have once it became popular, so Elena was surprised that the other party was willing to share half of the benefits with the Water Temple. This was simply incredible.

But thinking about the Saint's powerful abilities, Elena understood a little bit. This is what is called talent. Every move is changing the world.

Whether it is those delicacies or the subsequent food, as time goes by, they will surely become ordinary things around everyone.

The final result was naturally as Kato Megumi expected, and the cooperation was officially finalized.

Afterwards, Kato Megumi also told Elena about the current side effects of the improved species, and told her that the current growth of the improved species required the maintenance of elemental concentration.

After hearing this, Elena said that there was no problem and that she would send priests to continue to suppress the side effects in the future.

After all, it is impossible to popularize it all at once. By the time it is fully popularized, the side effects will probably disappear.

After all, this is a magical world, and it is quite simple to solve these side effects.

After that, Elena did not stay long. After the other party asked to borrow Kato Megumi's camera temporarily, she immediately left the Temple of Mother Earth and went to the Temple of Water to notify and discuss.

At this point, the popularization issue was finally let go and handed over to the Water Temple, while Kato Megumi turned his attention to another side.

That is the City Lord’s Mansion.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 188 Chapter Kato Megumi's Troubles

After all, the previous poisoning incident cannot be just ignored and pretended that nothing happened.

The other party poisoned him this time, and there was no guarantee that something else might happen next time, so Kato Megumi felt that she needed to investigate the other party.

After Krina's inquiries, Kato Megumi also learned about the reputation of the city lord from the side.

Greed, arrogance, and ambition.

"Hmm...it looks like there's some trouble."

Since the other party is such a person, it is expected that he would send people to take action against me since I opened a restaurant and encroached on his interests. Kato Megumi felt that she needed to investigate the other party carefully and make plans to prevent poisoning from happening again in the future.

But there is still one question, why did that man tell her the truth? Kato Hui was extremely wary of this.

What the other party said might be true, and the purpose might not be just that.
