  The experimental site arranged on the farmland is mainly composed of two parts.

  One part is a semi-closed polluted farmland covered by a witch array, while the other part is a closed laboratory.

  Shelley was standing next to the farmland at this moment. Seeing Colin walk in, he pointed to the pile of dry wreckage of bean sprouts on the ground and said:

   "The newly planted sixty-seventh plant also withered last night."

  If you want to solve the pollution of farmland gods, you first need to understand what pollution is.

  This "what" includes not only the nature of pollution, but also its manifestations and the ways in which it affects crops.

  So, these days, Shelley and Colin have been doing one thing, which is to test the degree to which different plants are affected by farmland pollution, that is, the length of time it takes to be completely polluted, the degree of pollution at different times, and so on.

   Until now, all the plants behaved in the same way, they would completely wither within three hours at most.

   Among them, the time required for the wheat to be completely polluted is the shortest, only ten minutes.

   "Yeah." Colin nodded slightly, approached and bent down to observe the bean sprouts on the ground, and asked again: "Is there any abnormality in those condemned prisoners who ate withered food?"

   "No." Shelley shook his head. "Apart from diarrhea, there is no other abnormality. The **** pollution in the farmland has been confirmed to only target plants."

  Colin stood up, pondered for a while, and made up his mind.

  He turned around and said in a deep voice to Shelley:

   "It's time to conduct further research. We can't get any useful information from this alone."

   "Are you going to try research yourself?" Shelley had a look of worry on his face.

"Well, don't worry, I have engraved the brilliance and solid wall in the spiritual sea last night." Colin comforted, "The short-term confrontation with farmland pollution should not have a big impact on me. If there is something wrong, I will stop in time .”

   "... Pay attention to safety, I will assist at the side." Shelley said after a pause, but was a little surprised in his heart.

   It usually takes at least a few months to master a third-order witchcraft from scratch, and it will take longer if it is mastered enough to be engraved in the spiritual sea.

   However, Colin's talent is now a well-known fact, and Shelley was not too surprised. After nodding slightly, he and Colin walked towards the closed laboratory beside him.

   "Although I have seen you demonstrate a strong resistance to dirty ravings before, ordinary contact and engrossed research are two different things, and you should be more careful."

  Walking in the silver-white passage, Shelley couldn't help but reminded again.

  That day in Neustadt, when Colin found her and suggested that he might be able to help with farmland pollution, she didn't believe it at first.

  Because dirty ravings are difficult to observe and study, this is the consensus of all wizards.

  Even a wizard as powerful as Noyes cannot break this rule.

  This is also the reason why the wizards of the Supreme Council resolutely gave up saving the farmland when they realized that the gods' pollution of the farmland was very similar in nature to the filthy ravings spread by the gods.

  But when Colin finished speaking, he immediately proved to her that he was different from ordinary wizards in resisting filthy ravings.

  Although I don't know how Colin did it, after leaving the shelter of the physical body, he was indeed not affected by the filthy ravings.

   This greatly shocked Shelley, and at the same time moved her a little bit—Colin was willing to share such special information with her, and the trust in it was beyond words.

   But for Colin, Shelley and he have known each other for several years, they communicate closely with each other, and they are trustworthy friends.

   Shelley did not live up to his trust and never mentioned this matter to anyone.

  In fact, Colin feels that even if he believes in the wrong person, it doesn’t matter...In this world, the saddest thing is that there is not even one person he can trust.

   "I will." Colin paused for a while, and nodded seriously to Shelley, not daring to be careless.

  When he was a second-tier senior wizard, his soul was already as clear as a third-tier wizard.

   After advancing to the third level, Colin was even more surprised to find that, in addition to his originally exceptionally clear soul, there was another layer of white veil that seemed to be inlaid with shining stars.

  The existence of this layer of veil directly allowed him to cross the third-level junior wizard, the adaptation stage that he often needs to go through in the beginning of soul separation.

  After his first soul separation in the quiet room, he was able to ignore the dirty ravings from the outside world and leave his soul at will.

  And during this process, there was no biting chill, unbearable burning pain, or panic that seemed to dissipate into the air that other wizards felt.

  The detached soul is like an ordinary body, stable and solid.

  That layer of veil, Colin discovered in later research, should be the product of willpower, spiritual power, human nature and knowledge.

   Among them, the power of will plays a decisive role in the formation of the starry veil, integrating the spiritual power of the soul and the humanity and knowledge aura existing on the surface of the body.

  The magical effect of Qingsha is not only manifested in resisting filthy ravings, this is his biggest gain after advancing to the third-level wizard.

   It is also because of this that he was able to have the power far beyond the third-level junior wizard when he first advanced!

  In addition, this is also the confidence he dared to say to Shelley that he could help solve farmland pollution.

  Walking into the room deep in the laboratory, several groups of contaminated soil collected from different farmlands are stored in front of the silver-white experimental table.

  Colin held one of the boxes in front of his eyes and slowly opened it.

  Shelley stood quietly by the side, his eyes fixed on Colin's figure.

  The latter took a deep breath, blessed himself with a glorious and solid wall, and began to try to research.

  The influence of foul ravings is variable.

  For ordinary people, they are less affected by foul ravings, because most of them don't even know the existence of foul ravings.

  As for wizards, especially after becoming senior wizard apprentices, they can activate their super senses. After seeing dirty ravings, they will obviously feel that the influence of dirty ravings has become much greater.

   At this time, if you try to carefully observe and distinguish those black spots that look like ashes when you turn on the super sense, then the pollution caused by the filthy raving will be further expanded.

  To put it simply, the pollution of filthy ravings will become stronger with the deepening of contact.

   This so-called "deep contact" is actually a very idealistic concept.

   It does not depend on the means of observation, nor on the way of cognition, but only depends on the subjective consciousness.

  The filthy ravings are like something that only exists in legends and cannot be seen directly, far beyond the comprehension of current wizards.

   And this characteristic that cannot be studied in depth also determines that wizards have nothing to do with it.

  Thoughts in Shelley's mind flashed randomly.

   About an hour later, Colin carefully put the glass cover containing the polluted soil back on the corner of the table, then lifted the radiant wall and walked towards Shelley.

  His face was extremely pale, and his eyes were bloodshot, but his eyes were still clear, and the expression on his face was joyful, even a smile appeared on his face.

  However, this smile not only did not dispel the worries in Shelley's heart, but also made her feel tighter, and subconsciously asked:

   "How are you feeling now?"

   "I feel pretty good." Colin smiled, "I can indeed temporarily resist the pollution effects of research behavior.

  It's just that the pollution sources of the farmland are mixed together, like fog, and it is difficult to see the specific situation clearly. "

  Shelley nodded, and said worriedly: "I'll give you a mental evaluation first."

   "Yes." Colin nodded calmly.

  Even if he feels that everything is normal and there is nothing wrong with him at the moment, the necessary steps still need to be carried out.

   After another ten minutes or so, after confirming that the test results were normal, Shelley finally breathed a sigh of relief.

   Then there was time to focus on what Colin had just said.

   "Have you seen sources of contamination in the soil?" Shelley asked.

   "Yes." Colin nodded, affirming: "The root cause of plant pollution is the soil. Those pollution sources did not react with the air, but directly entered the plants."

  The conditions required for plant growth are elements such as water, light, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and phosphorus.

  Previously they had speculated about the mechanism by which farmland pollution works.

  In addition to the most popular inference—pollution is similar to some kind of poison, which can directly contaminate plants so that they will gradually wither as soon as they come into contact, they also put forward other speculations—

  Farmland pollution may not directly affect plants, but affects the necessary conditions for the growth of certain plants, such as light and carbon dioxide.

  But according to Ke Lin’s observations, although it cannot be ruled out whether farmland pollution affects plant growth indirectly or directly, at least two factors in the indirect impact—light and carbon dioxide—can be ruled out.

  These factors in the air are not affected by the pollution of the farmland, and provide energy and nutrients for the plants as usual.

  Hearing Colin's answer, Shelley couldn't help showing joy on his face:

   "Great, as long as we can observe the pollution of the gods, we will find a solution sooner or later!"

   "Yes, but it may take some time." Colin smiled, unable to hide the tiredness on his face.

   "I need to take a break."

  Colin now almost understands his limits.

  He is not completely immune to the filthy ravings and farmland pollution spread by the gods, but only extremely resistant.

  High to normal contact has been unable to have any effect.

   But it was not enough. Right now, he was trying to study it seriously, and he clearly felt the tide-like pressure brought by the pollution of the gods.

   After only persisting for an hour, I had to rest for a while, looking inside the soul, and the veil of stars shrouded outside was a few layers thinner.

  'As the research progresses, the pressure will probably increase...' Colin walked to the corner of the laboratory and sat down, still worried.

  ‘It seems that the practice of knights needs to spend more time, and improve the strength of will as much as possible. '

   "Rest in bed."

  Shelley got up and went out while he was sitting cross-legged in the corner, and brought back a soft single bed covered with bedding.

   "Thank you." Colin opened his eyes and did not refuse. He really needed a good rest.

   "You're welcome." Shelley shook his head, "Now only you can observe farmland pollution, and I can't help much..."

   "Your accumulation of witchcraft knowledge is far superior to mine. When the time comes to figure out the characteristics of pollution and research solutions, I will rely on you."

  Colin smiled and lay down on the bed.

  Before he completely fell asleep, he suddenly thought—since he can observe farmland pollution, can he also observe and study the filthy ravings that are very similar in nature?

  …

   Time flies and it is August.

  The scorching sun is in the sky, and the clouds in the sky seem to be whiter than in other seasons.

   "Hurry up and work hard, the top ten performers tonight can get an extra piece of black bread!"

  North of the Golden Wheat Ear.

   Outside the city walls, there were only a few dilapidated serf huts in the wilderness, but now several huge wooden frames have been erected.

  ‘If the farmland can be restored, this is a good food processing factory, or a large granary. '

  Colin passed by and took a look on the way to the laboratory, thinking to himself.

  The obedience of the serfs was much higher than he had imagined. They didn't need wages at all, and they didn't care how tiring the work was. As long as they had food and shelter, they were satisfied.

   This period of time really saved him a lot of worry, and it also allowed him to have more time to study farmland pollution.

   Arriving at the hidden experiment location, Colin came to the deepest part of the laboratory with ease.

  Shelley was writing something at his desk, and judging from the amount of manuscript paper piled up next to him, it should have been another sleepless night.

   "You should also pay attention to rest." Colin couldn't help reminding.

   "I will, but a long time has passed, and the information you gave is enough for research..." Shelley raised his head and smiled, his complexion unchanged, but his smooth snow hair was rough, revealing the exhaustion of the master.

  Colin stopped talking and walked quickly to the experiment table.

   I don't know if it was stimulated by Shelley's words, but he felt that he was in a particularly good state today, and even felt that the pressure from the pollution of the gods in front of him was less.

   About an hour and a half later, Colin quit the study, with a look of joy on his face.

  Shelley had been waiting for a long time, with some worry on his face, "Why did you study for half an hour longer than usual today?"

   "I figured out the mechanism of farmland pollution!" Colin didn't answer, but excitedly said to her,

   "This time I finally ruled out the remaining factors and determined that farmland pollution did not indirectly affect the growth of plants, but directly caused the withering of plants.

   Moreover, I also observed a special phenomenon, farmland pollution does not enter the plants with water or other elements, but enters actively! "

  Shelley was slightly taken aback, and then his face was also happy.

   This may not seem like a big discovery, but it is actually at least a phased achievement for the research on farmland pollution!

  They have taken a big step forward to successfully solve farmland pollution!
