Chapter 570 The Gold Content of the Crane Queen, Goddess of Abundance
Li Luochen squatted down and parted a clump of wheat ears to examine it carefully.
The soil is too dry, the wheat grains are not filling properly, and the edges of the leaves are turning yellow.
However, there were no signs of insect infestation on the rhizomes, nor any disease spots on the leaves.
He rubbed some soil between his fingers and then brought it closer to his nose to smell it.
The soil lacks the necessary fertility.
"There's nothing seriously wrong, it's just that the soil isn't fertile enough, and there hasn't been enough rain recently, so irrigation hasn't been keeping up."
Li Luochen clapped his hands and stood up, having roughly made a judgment.
This is a worrying matter for farmers, but not a problem for lace crown king.
He released the Crowned King and pointed to the situation in the field.
The Crowned King looked around, nodded slightly, and the flowers on its crown trembled gently, a faint ray of light seeping into the soil along its hoof.
A moment later, the withered wheat seedlings visibly straightened up a bit, and the soil became slightly darker and moister.
The middle-aged man standing to the side stared wide-eyed, speechless for a long time.
"It's truly a miracle!"
The middle-aged man stared wide-eyed for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out those words.
He squatted down and touched the drooping wheat seedlings with his rough hands.
The leaves have straightened up and turned a bit greener, and even the soil feels a bit damper in my hand than before.
Having farmed for decades, he had never seen such efficient "fertilization".
The middle-aged man looked up at the Pokémon with a flower bud on its head and an extraordinary air about it, then looked at Li Luochen. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something to express his gratitude, but he didn't know where to begin.
"I've resolved the land issue here; from now on, we just need to manage it normally."
The voice of the Crowned Queen rang in Li Luochen's mind, calm and indifferent, as if the miracle just now was nothing more than a matter of lifting a finger.
Despite his greatly diminished power, for this former king who once ruled Galar, restoring a piece of land and bringing life back to a few acres of wheat fields is nothing.
Its power extends beyond warfare; both harvest and decay fall within the purview of royal authority.
Li Luochen relayed these words to the uncle, who nodded repeatedly, his worries finally fading. He then turned and jogged off to tell the other villagers the good news.
The news spread faster than the wind.
The uncle jogged from house to house explaining, and soon the edge of the field was filled with people.
There were elderly farmers leaning on hoes, women holding children, young people who had just come from the direction of the dojo, and an old woman selling vegetables who didn't even have time to pack up her stall.
They gathered around the newly revitalized wheat field, looking at the wheat seedlings that had clearly straightened up and the soil that had turned a darker color, discussing it animatedly with exclamations of amazement.
A few bolder children gathered around the Crested King Calyx, craning their necks to look at the peculiar, slightly glowing flower on its crown, their eyes filled with curiosity and reverence.
"Does anyone else need help with any land issues? We'd like to resolve them all today."
After Li Luochen said this, the villagers were silent for a moment, then erupted in a commotion.
They pushed and shoved each other, eagerly raising their hands and chattering about their own plots of land.
The radish field in the east, the cabbage field in the south, and the sandy land near the mine that just won't grow fat no matter what.
Li Luochen had no choice but to raise his hands to signal everyone to line up and come one by one.
For the rest of the time, King Lei Guan followed Li Luochen and traveled all over Caolu Town.
When it reaches a field, it gently treads on the soil, the flower buds on its crown flash with light, the withered yellow leaves stand up, and the dry soil becomes a little more moist.
It wasn't some earth-shattering supernatural power, but it left every farmer present speechless.
By the time the last field was finished, a long time had passed.
The villagers were extremely grateful, and the uncle who had been questioned first insisted on taking Li Luochen to his house for dinner, saying that if the first harvest of the year fetched a good price, he would definitely treat them well.
Li Luochen was pulled so hard that he stumbled a little, so he could only smile and wave his hand.
"The one you should thank isn't me, it's the thing."
Li Luochen turned to the side and pointed to the Crown King following behind him: "Just call it the Crown King."
"Dear Queen of Calypsos, thank you so much for our crops!"
The man paused for a moment, then turned around and bowed solemnly to the Pokémon with a flower bud crown on its head.
"Thanks!"
The villagers behind also realized what was happening and bowed their heads to thank King Lei Guan.
Without any superfluous words, these farmers, who toil in the fields from dawn till dusk, expressed their respect in a simple and sincere way.
The Crowned Queen slightly raised her chin, accepting this long-awaited expression of gratitude.
Its face still held that dignified and composed monarchical demeanor, but a faint hint of gold had quietly appeared at the edge of the flower bud on its crown.
That is a sign that the power of faith is beginning to coalesce again!
After returning to Caolu Town and having dinner, it was already late at night.
The villagers dispersed, and the lively scene in the fields gradually returned to tranquility.
Li Luochen and Katishia walked along the main street toward the dojo, and from a distance they saw an extra person under the streetlights.
The man was stocky, and his signature wide-brimmed hat cast a long shadow under the lamplight.
He had his hands in the pockets of his overalls, leaning against a lamppost.
Hearing footsteps, he looked up, revealing a gentle and unassuming face.
It was Yaro, the head of the Grass Road Gym.
"I knew it! Who made that noise in the field?"
Yalu straightened up, his gaze shifting between Li Luochen and the Crowned Queen, a smile playing on his lips: "We could see the light coming from all over the place; the villagers are practically worshipping you."
"Thank you so much."
Yalo was also worried about this matter.
As the gym leader of the Grass Road Gym, he is not only the gym leader of this town, but also a native of Grass Road.
He saw the deterioration of the town's farmland year after year, and he was more anxious than anyone else about it.
In previous years, he relied on Dynamaxing to unleash "Dynamax Grassland" with his Pokémon, using the immense Grass-type energy to forcibly fertilize the soil and maintain the town's harvest.
The results were indeed good in the first few years; the wheat in the fields grew stronger than any other crop.
But since last year, the land has become increasingly unresponsive to this approach.
The effect of the Giant Grassland is getting worse each time, as if the soil itself has been hollowed out. No matter how much Grass-type energy is poured in, it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, and it will return to its original state after a few days.
Yalo consulted agricultural science manuals and agricultural experts, but the conclusions were not optimistic.
This is a depletion of the soil's vitality, not just a simple lack of fertilizer or water.
He was preparing to apply for more professional assistance from his superiors when he heard tonight that an outside trainer had repaired the entire field with Pokémon.
"That's why I came to check," Yalo said, taking off his wide-brimmed hat and nodding earnestly to Li Luochen. "Thanks, you've been a great help."
Then, Yaro's gaze fell upon the Crane King: "Tomorrow, I will also have an all-out battle with you!"
