Hearing Zhao Hai's words, the man's face immediately showed a hint of joy. He quickly said, &Quot; welcome, welcome. It is our honor to have you here. Please follow me and rest for a while. When most of the people are here, the big guilds will personally receive you. Please. &Quot; After he finished speaking, he turned around and made a gesture to lead the way. Zhao Hai returned the gesture and followed the man into the Duke's residence.
The Duke's mansion was not very big, and there were not many houses. It was obvious that there were not many people in the mansion. Zhao Hai did not pay much attention to it. He followed the person to a row of houses and was arranged to stay in one of them.
This row of houses might be guest rooms. It was just a small two-story building, with rooms next to each other. Zhao Hai also noticed that there were already a few people here. These people were all botanists, but their levels were not very high.
Zhao Hai didn't pay attention to them. Now, he controlled his strength and maintained it at around level six botanist so that he wouldn't attract too much attention. In addition, he used a magic array on his appearance, so he looked like he was in his thirties. A level six botanist in his thirties was a very ordinary cultivation speed. It was very common and would not attract any attention at all.
Zhao Hai took a look at the room. It was just an ordinary suite. There was nothing special about it. Zhao Hai did not pay much attention to it and sat down in the living room.
As soon as he sat down, he heard a knock on the door. Before Zhao Hai could speak, a voice came from outside, " "Hello, Sir. I'm a servant from the Grand Duke's residence. I'm here to bring you tea."
"Come in," Zhao Hai said immediately. As soon as he finished speaking, the person outside responded and pushed the door open. It was a servant in his twenties. He was holding a tray with a teapot and teacups on it.
After the servant entered, he bowed to Zhao Hai and placed the teapot on the coffee table in front of him. He then said, " "Is there anything else, Sir?"
"It's fine, you can go," Zhao Hai said with a smile.
&Quot; yes, " the servant replied. &Quot; if you need anything, Sir, just pull the rope next to the door and we'll hear you. &Quot; Zhao Hai nodded, and the servant bowed and left.
Zhao Hai took a sip of the tea. The taste was not bad, but it was only average. Zhao Hai knew that this tea was already considered good here. The Lionheart Kingdom did not produce tea. All the tea here was shipped from the sword spirit Kingdom. In the Lionheart Kingdom, tea was a very expensive daily necessity.
Zhao Hai drank a cup of tea, then took out a book from his wooden box and began to write something on it. This was his lionsoul Kingdom's record of knowledge. It was his habit. No matter where he went, he would write down the local customs and customs and write it down in a record to enrich the HU Family Library.
Without realizing it, Zhao Hai had been writing for almost two hours. Just as he was writing with his head lowered, a knock on the door made him stop. He said in a deep voice, " "Please come in." The door was pushed open, and the person who had welcomed Zhao Hai was standing in front of the door.
The man bowed to Zhao Haiyi and said, " greetings, Sir. Sir, most of the guests are here. The Grand Duke invites everyone to the main hall. &Quot;
"Alright, please wait a moment." Zhao Hai nodded. After he finished speaking, he put away his book but did not take the wooden box. He stood up and walked out with the man. After a while, the man led Zhao Hai to the hall of the Duke's mansion. This seemed to be the place for meetings. There were many chairs in the hall and many people were sitting there now. These people were all botanists. Some of them even knew each other and were talking in low voices.
Seeing the newcomers, those people just glanced at them and started to chat among themselves. Zhao Hai noticed that the botanists in the hall were all dressed in very good clothes. Their skin was very white and they were a little fat. At first glance, he knew that they were people who lived in luxury. Zhao Hai glanced at these people but did not say anything. These people were probably botanists who were raised by the Grand Duke Ganya. These people didn't have much ability, most of them were here to cheat for food and drink.
However, Zhao Hai couldn't be bothered with them. Instead, he found a place to sit down and slowly closed his eyes. He waited there quietly. After a while, a voice said, " "The great Duke has arrived!" Following this voice, a person walked in from outside. Zhao Hai opened his eyes and glanced at the legendary Grand Duke Ganya.
It was an old man in his 60s. His hair was already white, but he seemed to be in good spirits. He was tall and strong, but his skin was very dark. His face was full of wrinkles, and one could tell at a glance that he was a very serious person. He walked with big steps, but each step was very steady, giving people a feeling of a Dragon and a Tiger.
As soon as the old man came in, everyone stood up and saluted him, " "Greetings, Grand Duke." Zhao Hai naturally stood up and followed suit.
Grand Duke Ganya just nodded and walked to the front. He stood there and looked at the nearly thirty botanists in the hall."We only have this many botanists in Yadi city now. I would like to thank everyone for coming. The matter is urgent, so I won't waste any more time. Today, I've asked everyone to come because there has been a large number of deaths of the pastures in the eastern ancient grassland. However, after the observation of the botanists of the Duke's Palace, they didn't find any illness on the pastures. So, I invited everyone here to discuss and see what's wrong with the pastures." Then, he waved his hand and a servant walked in with a tray in his hand. On the tray was a handful of patriarch grass, but the grass had long withered and turned yellow.
Grand Duke Ganya pointed at the patriarch grass on the tray and said in a deep voice,"Everyone, take a look. This is the patriarch grass from the ancient East grassland. Can you see if there's anything different about it?" After that, the servant carried a tray to the botanist. Each botanist reached out and took out a pasture and looked at it carefully.
Zhao Hai sat there in a daze. This was the first time he had seen someone treat plants like this. What could he see from just looking at the dead grass? If this was the way to tell what kind of illness the pastures had died of, then the illness that these pastures had should be some common illness that was not difficult to treat. It would not be difficult for the botanist of the Grand Duke's mansion at all.
Looking at the botanist, each holding the pasture and looking at it seriously, Zhao Hai could not help but shake his head and sigh. He had guessed it right. These botanists had long become parasites. They simply did not go to the wild to observe the plants for a long time. They only relied on their previous experience and reputation to make a living. Such botanists would not have any development.
However, Zhao Hai didn't say anything. He didn't want to make them lose their jobs. Therefore, when the servant carried a tray to Zhao Hai, he also took a pasture and looked at it. After careful observation, Zhao Hai really made some discovery. However, he didn't say it out. He wanted to hear others 'opinions before making a decision.
Sure enough, after a while, the people in the hall had put down the pasture, but they all looked confused. Grand Duke Ganya was also an experienced person. He looked at the People's faces and knew that they had not found anything, but he still asked with a glimmer of hope, " "Everyone, tell me, do you see any problems?"
Those people all looked at each other, and finally, the human botanist stood up and said, " "Grand Duke, these grass don't look sick at all, but they seem to be lacking in water and have withered. May I ask if there was a great drought in the eastern ancient grassland?"
Gan ya's big face was a little ugly. He glanced at the botanist and said in a deep voice, &Quot; No. The rainfall in the eastern ancient grassland today is more than every year. There isn't a major drought at all. However, a large number of the pastures there are dying. Did you guys really not find anything? "
The botanists looked at each other, but no one spoke. Grand Duke Ganya glanced at them, but his expression was a little ugly. At this moment, a voice was heard."Grand Duke, I wish to take a look at the eastern ancient grassland, is that possible?"
