Chapter 336: Surprise
The white flower in the White Flower Club is not a person's name, but a special flower on Waiheke Island.
According to Vali Knight's description, this is a kind of elegant white flower with delicate and soft petals, but it has no obvious fragrance.

This seemingly ordinary flower has a relatively thick stem, and there are rough, ugly, irregular roots growing under the stem.
When Luo Ning heard this, his mind was immediately attracted.
"Is this kind of flower only found on the territory of the White Flower Club?" he asked.
Vali shook his head, "That's not true. In the early days, there were also ones here at the port. However, there was a period of food shortage on the island. Some prisoners were so hungry that they dug out its roots and took a bite. They soon became dizzy. Vomited and eventually died. We cleaned up this poisonous thing."
He paused and then added: "But you may still be able to find them in the forest outside the port. But it is already October, and the white flowers are almost withered and withered, which is not very pretty."
Vali subconsciously thought that Luo Ning was interested in flowers. After all, many nobles liked to plant flowers, even though he was a man.
Luo Ning nodded and stopped talking about Bai Hua. Instead, he talked with everyone about what they need to pay attention to in tomorrow's battle.
First, they need to enter the territory of the White Flower Society, and they need to consider whether the opponent will set up traps in advance, occupy the terrain, and ambush them in a sneak attack, thereby causing a large number of casualties to them.
Secondly, this operation must completely solve the future problems, and the core members of the White Flower Club cannot be allowed to escape.
Therefore, when necessary, it is necessary to rely on Missy Knight's griffon to carry out the pursuit.
After some discussion, it was almost noon.
Under the hospitality of Vali Knight, everyone had lunch together.
In the afternoon, Ronin took Tom and David out of the port and walked into the woods outside.
According to Vali Knight's description, the three began to look for the little white flower.
Perhaps it was because the port residents were so thorough in cleaning up poisons that they walked a long distance without finding it. Until David found a few small white flowers that were about to wither by a pool in the forest.
"Sir, is this it?"
Ronin walked over. He had never seen flowers of this style and could not tell whether what Vali described was what he remembered.
"I'll dig out the root mass underneath it and let me take a look."
Tom and David hurriedly excavated, and soon the ugly, irregular root mass underneath was taken out.
"What is this?"
David looked at it curiously.
The surface of the root block is pitted and pitted, and it does not look aesthetically pleasing at all.
"Sure enough, it looks like it's poisonous."
Tom also expressed his opinion, "Are you going to take it back to make poison for Dr. Elrond?"
"This is not poison!"
Luo Ning took the root piece from Tom's hand, and the more he looked at it, the more he couldn't put it down.
βEven though it looks ugly, you can definitely say that it is a gift from Mother Earth, an ingredient that can bring vitality!β
Now it was Tom and David's turn to wonder.
"Sir, Knight Vali said that eating it will cause vomiting, dizziness, and eventually death, but you said it is an ingredient that can bring life?"
"Yes, is this food edible?"
Luo Ning smiled mysteriously and said with certainty: "If you can eat it, of course you can eat it!"
The thing in his hand is none other than potatoes, which are often called potatoes.
This thing is not only delicious, but also rich in starch, vitamins and minerals, and is an important source of energy needed by the human body. In the cold winter, a bowl of fragrant potato shreds can always bring people endless warmth and satisfaction.
The most important thing is that potatoes have a short growth cycle and high yields, making them a major food crop.
Historically, the widespread cultivation of potatoes is said to have contributed to at least a quarter of population growth.
Wubei Territory now has wheat and rice. If potatoes are sown quickly and the food problem is completely solved, Luo Ning believes that the population of Wubei Territory will enter a stage of continuous growth.
"We can call these white-flowered roots 'potatoes'. The person who ate them, I guess, must have eaten sprouted, green potatoes. In addition, he was already in a state of hunger, and his physical condition was very poor. , so he will eventually die.β
As long as the person is eaten to death, other people will not only stop trying it, but will even spread the news that potatoes are poisonous. Over time, it becomes a highly toxic substance.
He took out the dagger from the space ring, peeled off the skin of the potato, and then cut it into slices.
After cleaning it in the nearby water pool, Luo Ning summoned a small flame on the top of his palm and demonstrated how to bake potatoes on the spot.
"If we choose normal mature potatoes, we don't have to worry about poisoning after roasting them at high temperature."
As he spoke, the potatoes in his hand were roasted quickly. Although the uneven heating caused some places to be burnt, there was still a unique fragrance wafting out.
Luo Ning took out a piece and ate it. Although there was no seasoning, he still had a familiar feeling, as if he had returned to Earth.
Tom and David were a little worried at first and didn't dare to try it, but after seeing Luo Ning eat it, they also took a bold slice.
Their eyes suddenly lit up.
"good smell!"
βFeeling like never before!β
They also admired Luo Ning more and more, "Sir, you know so much."
"It's just that I've seen a lot."
Ronin divided the remaining potato slices between the two.
He thought of the White Flower Society. They were not worried about falling out with Vali and thus running out of food. Had they found the right way to eat potatoes?
"You guys go back first. Don't mention the way to eat potatoes to outsiders for now."
Ronin said, "If outsiders ask, just say I'm relaxing in the forest alone."
While speaking, he called out in his heart. Not long after, Carlos landed in the forest, but under the distorted light, his figure was not clear enough.
"Master, are you in any trouble?" The dragon asked with some concern.
During this time, Carlos followed Ronin. When he was hungry, he went down to the sea to hunt. When he was tired, he looked for an island or reef to rest.
For him, life was still as free and unrestrained as ever, but compared to being at sea, Carlos preferred to live in Wubei Territory, where food was abundant.
"No trouble."
Ronin smiled and jumped on the dragon's back. After such a long time, Carlos's level progress reached 30/12500.
Although it has increased a little, facing such a large base, it is almost the same as no increase.
"Let's go, take me to the island for a stroll, pay attention to hiding."
"Okay~"
Carlos flapped his wings and flew up, and in the blink of an eye he arrived in the sky, and the overall outline of Rapids Island appeared in Ronin's vision.
Rapids Island is not small, and the terrain on it is undulating like a hilly area, and most of the area is covered by green trees. Although humans have lived on this island for a long time, the scope of development is still very small.
"Let's go there first."
Ronin pointed to the area with more houses. According to his guess, that should be the territory of the White Flower Society mentioned by Wally.
Carlos's speed was very fast. In just two or three minutes, he arrived above the White Flower Society's territory.
Ronin saw that a large area of ββland had been reclaimed here, and many people were busy on the fields at this time.
He asked Carlos to descend a little bit, and it was easy to see what the farmers were working on - digging potatoes.
Obviously, the people of the White Flower Society would eat potatoes.
"Huh?"
Ronin looked towards the east in surprise, and he actually saw the second pier on Jiliu Island. (End of this chapter)
