Chapter 142: Chapter 112: First Meeting with Yaling Lord_1"General Stelina, this seems an overly complex approach," Gaven said, taken aback, "Moreover, isn’t this a part of your castle’s defensive system? Especially against invasions from external tribes like the jackalweres. Rather than remodeling the entire castle it would be better to set up a dedicated ground construction for accommodating foreign tribesmen, or even establish an outpost fortress on the other side of the curtain, to prevent such door-knocking incidents, while also hosting foreign guests—after all, most of them come from the other side of the curtain." "A very good suggestion." A crisp clapping sound followed, as a breathtakingly beautiful Elf, who could arouse envy in anyone, stood on a nearby tree platform, smiling down at them. Her presence radiated with such vigorous vitality that Gaven felt the sensation of witnessing all things reviving in early spring. Whether it was her elegance, appearance, or the mature aura she exuded, none could compare with Stelina. Next to her, the latter seemed but a bud waiting to bloom, while the former was a ripe peach, ready to eat. Her exceptional green hair cascaded down her back, and even this did not seem out of place to Gaven. On the contrary, it felt as if it should be so. This Elf noble was the Dawn of Spring. "My Lord," Stelina bowed respectfully to the Elf. Gaven also bowed, saying, "Gaven Nort, at your service, my Lord. Please forgive the intrusion. The suggestion was merely my own opinion. I hope it has not been too presumptuous." The Yaling Lord smiled and said, "Your suggestion is very useful to me. Lately, our lives have been too tranquil, and we’ve overlooked the threats from beyond the curtain. If we do not shut this curtain, then establishing an outpost, as you recommended, is the most suitable. Please, Mr. Gaven, come up and let’s discuss this in more detail." With a wave of the Yaling Lord’s hand, the surrounding branches and trunks seemed to come alive, twisting and extending into a new staircase that reached from her platform down to Gaven. This was no simple Wood Shaping Technique, but a control over the forest far beyond the ordinary. This was the Dawn of Spring’s special ability; she was in tune with the forest, becoming one with it. As Gaven ascended the steps, standing before her, the feeling intensified—the life force emanating from her seemed as though it could overflow. "Closing the curtain would be a waste of natural gifts. Each curtain is a precious gift from nature. Closing them is easy, but reopening them is harder than reaching heaven. I’ve heard that in the Ancient Era, curtains leading to the Fairy Wilderness were everywhere. In many places, it was hard to distinguish one side from the other. Now, many have not even heard of the Fairy Wilderness," Gaven couldn’t help but sigh. Not to mention the curtains leading to the Fairy Wilderness, even portals were rare in Felen. In his past life, even as a Legendary Warrior, he had not come across a single one. Especially since the Arcane Catastrophe, the collapse of the Magic Network, and the destructive storms that breached the Crystal Barrier changed the entire world. Felen Continent became completely severed from the Fairy Wilderness, and the various fairy beings gradually disappeared from Felen. The Yaling Lord, who felt this even more deeply, agreed profoundly, saying, "The connection between the Material Plane and the Fairy Wilderness originates from the natural pulse alignment. When one side undergoes massive transformation or destruction, this alignment disappears. The Fairy Wilderness is still the same as it was in the Ancient Era, but the Material Plane has changed countless times, especially now, with Humans’ unprecedented speed of development and alteration of the Material Plane. Wherever they establish a stronghold, the pulse soon dissipates, and the Fairy Wilderness drifts further away." By the end of her words, the Yaling Lord turned to Gaven with a meaningful smile, saying, "I hope, Lord Gaven, that you will not have such regrets when expanding and developing your territory." Gaven thumped his chest saying, "Though I did not grow up among Elves, I do embrace the Elf development philosophy of harmonious coexistence with nature. If the right methods are found, development can proceed without damaging nature. And where damage is needed, we will strive to reduce its impact to an absolute minimum." These words were not merely crafted for the occasion but were one of his core future development ideologies. It was an essential prerequisite for venturing into Kosoman. "Oh?" The Yaling Lord’s interest was piqued by Gaven’s response, "Harmonious coexistence sounds wonderful, but it’s difficult to achieve, especially with a burgeoning population. How would you solve the food problem? Expanding the cultivated areas would inevitably lead to deforestation." This was a political dilemma that had perplexed Elves and Humans for thousands of years, unresolved. Sёarch* The novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The Crownbearers of Kosoman and the Humans had established the Standing Stone in the Valley for a harmonious coexistence, based on the Elves’ concession to allow Humans to clear and farm the land to a limited extent. This resulted in the Kosoman Great Forest being reduced by more than half in just over thirteen hundred years. "Intensive farming," replied Gaven without hesitation, "using the smallest land area to feed the largest population." "What do you mean by intensive farming?" "Select and optimize seeds to increase average crop yields, ferment manure to enhance the growth of crops, and most importantly, cooperate with Druids to reform the farmlands. It would be best to establish magical farms. Once we increase the yield per acre, farmers’ need for land will decrease, and they won’t need to consider clearing the forests anymore."
