The Law of Food Raising - 24

Chapter 24 - Can I?

When Hua Duo woke up, she found that she had returned to the Lord's Mansion. She sat up and touched her aching forehead, a look of fatigue on her face.

After freshening up, she regained some energy. She walked out of the room and immediately saw the lush black grapes in Courtyard No. 1.

【Black grapes, grade C, high quality, generate low-level intelligence. Efficacy: beautify the environment, purify the air, beautify the skin (upgraded), strengthen muscles and bones (upgraded), increase memory (upgraded), delay aging (new), improve mental power (new), gather psychic energy. (There is a 15% chance of advancement)】

It has been upgraded! With a look of joy on her face, Hua Duo ran under the grape trellis, closed her eyes and felt the spiritual energy released by the C-level plants. It was so abundant and pure that it instantly took away her fatigue.

At this time, something seemed to be lightly touching her cheek, and it felt itchy. Hua Duo opened her eyes and saw a grapevine hanging in front of her, sometimes curling and sometimes stretching, as if she wanted to get closer but was a little timid.

Hua Duo stretched out her finger and poked it. The grapevine twisted a few times and then wrapped around her finger. An indescribable feeling of joy and admiration was clearly conveyed.

Sure enough, low-level intelligence has been generated! A flash of excitement flashed in Hua Duo's eyes. She had not seen a plant with intelligence for more than five hundred years. Plant spirits are even rarer than animals. Of course, not all plants that produce intelligence can become spirits. This requires certain conditions and opportunities.

This grape was cultivated by Hua Duo with spiritual energy. It is of the same line as her. She must have regarded her as her mother tree and was extremely close to her.

Hua Duo was in a happy mood and her eyes were crooked. Although her vitality was greatly reduced now, it was an unexpected blessing to be able to prompt Black Grape to evolve again. C-level plants can provide her with a sufficient amount of spiritual energy, which is exactly what she needs.

At this time, several familiar calls came from her feet. She looked down and found that it was the golden leopard that Samus gave her. On the day of the plant riot, she didn't know where this little guy was hiding. Seeing that it was safe and sound, Hua Duo felt a little relieved. It's rare to let go of "racial discrimination" and get close to it for a while.

"Let's go, come with me to see the plants in other gardens." Hua Duo said goodbye to Black Grape, who was reluctant to leave, and walked towards other gardens with Jinbao.

This plant riot did not cause serious damage to the lord’s garden. In addition to the black grapes, the golden balls in Courtyard No. 2 have also been upgraded from E-level to D-level. Although other plants have not been upgraded, their aura content has increased several times compared with before.

In this way, as long as she stays in the Lord's Mansion, the spiritual energy she consumes can be slowly replenished, and she doesn't have to worry too much about her two-year survival period.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard Utrey's angry voice not far away: "Seventeen people, just seventeen people almost destroyed Kavos!"

Hua Duo thought about it and followed the sound.

"This battle is indeed a major blow to us." Bai Dong said, "How did the plant riot happen in the Royal City? How did they avoid our investigation and lurk in Kavos? Are they really that strong? Is that the point?"

"Now is not the time to investigate the cause. The most important thing is to continue to strengthen security and find ways to deal with the current situation." Wei Chen said calmly.

"Three territorial representatives died in Kavos. If this matter is not handled properly, the alliance you have finally built will fall apart, and the prestige of Kavos will be lost." Liaison Officer Lan Mo adjusted his glasses, feeling melancholy. He said, "But at this critical moment, both the master and the commander-in-chief are seriously injured and unconscious, unable to take charge of the overall situation."

Wei Chen was about to speak when he looked up and saw the figure at the door. He immediately stood up and said, "Duoduo, you're awake. How do you feel?"

When others saw Hua Duo coming in, they also stood up and saluted her.

"I'm fine." Hua Duo asked, "What happened to Samus and Chi Xiao?"

"The parasitic vine on his body has broken out, and the situation is critical. Chi Xiao is seriously injured and may not wake up in a short time." Wei Chen replied.

"I'm going to see him." Hua Duo walked through the hall and walked towards the room where Samus was.

"I'll go with you." Wei Chen excused himself to the others, and then quickly followed Hua Duo. He is the steward of Samus and is mainly responsible for internal affairs. Taking care of the food and daily life of Samus and Hua Duo is his main responsibility.

In the room, Guze was checking Samus. He felt someone approaching him. When he turned around and saw it was Hua Duo, he immediately said in surprise: "Duoduo, you're awake."

Hua Duo nodded, her eyes falling on Samus. The vine patterns on his body look more dense than before, and the color is darker than before.

"How is he?" Hua Duo asked.

"It's not very good." Guze looked worried. "The parasitic vine has become one with him. It can neither be forcibly pulled out nor effectively suppressed. If I had some confidence in the treatment before, now it is... …There is nothing we can do.”

Hua Duo thought for a while, then turned to Wei Chen and said, "Wei Chen, I need you to help me collect seeds of various medicinal plants and supernatural plants. The more, the better. Everything in the world is mutually reinforcing, and parasitic vines is no exception. Since conventional means are no longer effective, we can only find another way to save Samus’ life.”

Guze and Wei Chen didn't expect that Duoduo, who had a soft personality, would have such a strong side. After she said these words, the unconscious Samus' brows trembled slightly.

"No problem! I'll do it right away." Wei Chen solemnly accepted the order.

"Where's Chi Xiao? Is he okay?" Hua Duo asked again.

"His condition is much better than of our lord. He only needs to take a good rest for a while to recover."

Hua Duo stopped talking and just looked at Samus silently.

"Don't worry, my lord is determined and will not give in to death easily." Guze touched her head and comforted her warmly.

Hua Duo smiled, with trust in her eyes.

This child is really... Guze can't describe it. He always feels incredible, as if all his worries will disappear because of her.

At this moment, there was a burst of noise in the hall.

"What's going on?" When Wei Chen and Hua Duo came out to check, there was no one in the hall.

The guard reported back: "Representatives from Selsa, Yinsong and other territories gathered in the Xincheng Mansion and asked Kavos to handle alliance matters immediately. Several officers rushed over."

Wei Chen frowned and said to Hua Duo: "Duoduo, you stay in the Lord's Mansion, I'll come back as soon as I can."

Hua Duo looked at his retreating figure, hesitated for a moment, and followed him.

In the conference hall of Xincheng Mansion, representatives from all over the country gathered together. After the turmoil the night before, they had doubts about Kavos' strength and the future of the alliance. Although they didn't know how the plant riot was controlled, the attack on Kavos severely damaged everyone's confidence. It is really shocking that only seventeen people caused such casualties.

But what really shakes people is Samus' coma. As the core figure of the alliance and a strong man recognized by the world, he was seriously injured in this riot. Without his support and leadership, the alliance would be nothing more than a farce.

"Some envoys had an incident in Kavos, and we must give an explanation. If we continue to delay, the alliance will surely fall apart." Lan Mo looked at the noise in the hall with a solemn expression.

"But who should take charge of the overall situation?" Bai Dong said impatiently, "Among the representatives from various places, several of them are lords of one party. The people we send here must not be too low in status, must have enough prestige, and must be able to control the situation and stabilize the alliance."

Everyone looked at each other, speechless for a moment. There are many talents in Kavos, but there are not many people who can truly be leaders. Especially at this time, any small mistake may have irreparable consequences.

The psychological pressure endured by the generals in Kavos is extraordinary.

"I am the lord's liaison officer." Lan Mo said, "When encountering an emergency, I should be the one to resolve it."

"Are you sure?" Wei Chen arrived and asked seriously.

"We can only do our best." Samus' safety is the key to determining the survival of the alliance, but no one is currently sure how long he can survive. If he dies unfortunately, the alliance will cease to exist. It is precisely because of this concern that everyone hesitates. They each perform their duties and the work system is running stably. The only worry is not enough time.

Wei Chen put his hand heavily on his shoulder: "Lan Mo, we must be absolutely sure about this matter. Otherwise, we might as well pay for the injured and deal with the funeral arrangements first."

"Yes, I don't think this matter should be rushed. Let's stabilize the situation first." Bai Dong agreed.

"Rosen, who went out to stop the enemy, has not returned yet. No one knows whether Kavos will be attacked by plants again." Wei Chen continued, "Now is not a good time to deal with alliance matters."

"Wei Chen, you have to know," Lan Mo said with a cold expression, "Once a second plant uprising occurs, not to mention the alliance, the entire Kavos will face destruction. So before that, we must first ensure that there is no internal turmoil.”

Wei Chen was silent.

"But Lan Mo, you..." Bai Dong hesitated and looked at him.

"I know what you want to say, but if I don't come forward, who else can come forward?" Lan Mo looked around with a serious look in his eyes.

"I..." At this moment, a small voice suddenly came from the gap, "Can I?"

Everyone followed the sound and saw a petite figure walking slowly.

"Duoduo, what are you doing here?" Wei Chen was a little nervous and walked to her side in a few steps, fearing that something might happen to her.

Hua Duo asked seriously: "Aren't I the adopted daughter of Samus?"

"Yes." Wei Chen nodded doubtfully.

"So theoretically, if something happens to my adoptive father, do I, as the adopted daughter, have the right to inherit Kavos?"

"Yes." Wei Chen looked surprised.

"So," Hua Duo looked at everyone, "under this situation, am I qualified to handle affairs on behalf of my father?"

"Yes..." Wei Chen and Lan Mo looked at each other, feeling both uneasy and somewhat hopeful.

Wei Chen said cautiously: "Duoduo, this matter is no joke. Although your identity is not a problem, but..."

"With your support, that's enough." Hua Duo smiled slightly.

After the words fell, Hua Duo walked through the corridor without hesitation and walked into the hall, raising her head to meet the surprised and scrutinizing eyes...
