The Elven Survival Handbook.

The elf asked people to check other dug soils, and sure enough, there was the same thing under every pit.

But now, regardless of whether the things mixed in the soil were what the elves thought of, he had no time to care about them for the time being.

The elf asked someone for a small earthen jar to contain some soil mixed with unknown objects. He couldn't put it away in front of so many people, so he had to hold it for the time being.

At the same time, he told the people on the farm: "Don't touch these pits for now, wait until I come back."

Originally, I planned to re-cultivate the land and transplant some Aquarius seedlings, but now I’d better leave it alone.

Aquarius has been sent to the car, and there are a bunch of drivers waiting for him outside.

After making sure that the people on the farm would not disturb these places, the elf took his bodyguards and got on the carriage and left the farm.

The devil has been too busy recently to spend time with him, but he is worried about the elf coming to the farm, so the elf has to be accompanied by several bodyguards at all times.

——And he saw only two of them on the surface, but he didn’t know how many more were secretly there.

In fact, the elf really wanted to say forcefully that he was also a great mage after all. Although he was an auxiliary, he could not fight against the level of a demon king or general. No one else, whether they were humans or monsters, was his opponent.

——Although he has no combat experience so far.

It’s depressing just thinking about it.

But the elves are used to being protected. In the past, there were medical staff in the hospital, and then there was the devil who was always with them. Now with two bodyguards, it seems to be no different.

The water tanker was rented by someone, and the driver was also taken care of. Now these drivers drove the water tanker pulled by oxen and waited outside for their employer, while curious about the plants on the tanker.

The water tanker has buckets and tanks for loading water. They are all built to be larger and higher. They are over one meter high. Two water pitchers are placed inside. You can't see them unless you look inside. Even if you look inside, you can only see at most. Seeing the leaves on the top and unable to see the bottom, although the hired drivers thought it was strange, no one asked much. The driver's fare this time was more generous than others, and they were eager to make more trips in the future.

The mighty motorcade formed a long queue and headed all the way to the city gate. When they entered the city, they attracted everyone's attention.

The convoy entered the city in a swaggering manner, and then divided into two teams. One team headed towards the northwest corner of the city, and the other team followed the elves to the palace.

Whether it was intentional or not, the news spread quickly. No one thought that the palace, which had a water source, needed to buy water. Everyone was guessing what the water truck fleet was sending.

The recent changes in the palace made them vaguely feel that something was wrong.

Ask them what's wrong, and eight out of ten will say that the biggest problem is that nothing bad happened to the outsiders who offended the royal family. Instead, they were treated as guests by the old king and invited to the palace.

However, considering that the old king has gotten much better recently and has resumed taking charge of government affairs, maybe this is the reason for their sudden change of attitude?

Redemon, the Pseudo Old King, the True Demon King, Aned Kuslia, sneezed in a rare appearance in the palace.

As soon as the convoy arrived at the palace, the aquariums on the car were removed and then replanted in the holes that had been dug.

Plants should be planted on both sides of the road from the gate to the main hall of the palace. This is the place where the outside world can most notice the aquarium. As long as it is planted, the strangely shaped aquarium will always be noticed.

As long as the nobles know that such magical plants exist in the palace, they will soon find the farm on their own.

Well, the elves sent these water pitchers for advertising.

Impact from top to bottom is often much faster than from bottom to top.

This is indeed the case. Even the smallest changes in the palace cannot escape the eyes of the nobles. What's more, the situation has been strange recently. More people are staring at the palace than usual. So many weird plants suddenly appeared. How could they? I need to inquire about it.

Then naturally I knew the magic of these plants.

In the country of Adadala, even the nobles are actually short of water sometimes.

It rarely rains here all year round. Even though there is such a big sea next to it, the sea water is not drinkable. It is better here in the capital, with abundant underground water resources. Every household of the powerful has a well. The more luxurious ones can even drink it. Dig a pond, lake or something in your garden.

But that’s just the big shots. If other people want to dig wells at home, they simply can’t do it without sufficient background.

The people above were worried that too many people digging wells would eventually use up the groundwater and leave them without water, so they even issued laws prohibiting ordinary people from digging wells, and even imposed water restrictions.

If civilians want water, they either have to walk long distances to pick up water from several water sources, or buy water from water merchants.

Therefore, water pitcher is still very popular in Adadala.

Moreover, the elf does not intend to sell the aquarium as a high-priced product. He only planted twenty aquariums on the main road of the palace. The remaining ones will be sent to the poorest and most water-scarce areas in Adadala in the name of the king. area to go.

This area is in the northwest corner of the capital, close to the sea, but not in the bustling area of ​​the dock. Many people make a living by fishing and collecting treasures, but many of them don't even have a decent boat and can only ride a canoe. Fishing at the beach, the harvest is naturally not very good. This kind of work can barely make a living, and pearl fishing is even more dangerous. If you are not careful, you can easily lose your life.

But apart from these, they have no other working ability. The place is so remote that even water sellers are not willing to go there to do business. They can only fetch water by themselves, but even the nearest water source is not far away. They are also over an hour away.

Most of the apprentices on the farm came from there, and Martha's home was there.

In most people's mouths, this area is

It’s called a ghetto.

The elves have never been there, but if you listen to what the apprentices occasionally say, you can tell what a terrible place it is.

In the past, this was other people's territory, and the elves could not get involved. But now the entire Adadala has changed hands. While other magic cities are busy governing this country, the elves naturally cannot ignore everything.

He can't do other things, but he can still do it by improving some environments.

The 180 aquariums may not completely solve their water problem, but they can improve it a lot. Moreover, this is only the initial investment, and more aquarias will be sent out later.

The elf didn't mind giving a water pitcher to every house at all. He didn't forget what his mission was when he came here.

People in the slums have received some relatively novel jobs these days.

Some people paid them to clean all the streets, and asked them to dig holes in several locations. There were even job fairs for handlebar people. The wages offered were not low even if they were transferred to other areas, so even if they felt that the content of the work was It's strange that many people still apply for the job.

Although the slums are poor, the streets are actually not dirty. Everything of slight use will be picked up by others, and no one will defecate in the open. In order to save more fertilizer for the family, they would rather hold back than go home to solve the problem. , the excrement of livestock must be picked up and dried in the sun to be burned as firewood.

It’s just that the streets here are just bare yellow soil. As long as you run a little faster on dry ground, you will raise large amounts of dust, making passersby look disgraced.

The pits they were asked to dig were not far from the streets and were evenly distributed in every corner of the slum. No one knew what those large pits more than one meter deep were used for.

Those who applied for the job of coachman were only required to drive waterwheels from the seaside to these places using seawater.

After the seawater was brought back, it was poured into those pits, moistening the land, but also making the land soaked with salt and unable to grow anything.

Weird.

This strange scene lasted for several days, and the originally curious poor people were no longer curious.

When the convoy arrived, they thought it was another water transport team and didn't pay attention.

They only care that the people who asked them to dig holes have announced new jobs today, but everyone has been gathering here for most of the day, and those people have not arranged any work for them.

Of course, as long as there is money to take, who wouldn’t be happy not to work?

The people assigned to supervise here have been waiting. As soon as they saw the water trucks, they all went up to ask if they were the people they were waiting for.

After getting the exact answer, the little boss of the supervisor shouted for the invited workers to go over and work.

"Be careful, don't damage the things inside!" the overseers shouted loudly. If these people in front of them were not slaves, they would have wanted to whip them with whips to make them more careful.

Fortunately, these people usually cannot find decent jobs, but now that they have the opportunity, they will work hard.

The large wooden barrels and water tanks were carefully lifted out of the waterwheel. When they saw the green plants inside, everyone felt strange as to what they were doing.

The supervisor quickly announced today's task: "Put all the plants in the water tank into the pit."

It turned out that they were going to plant these. All the workers realized that, regardless of the fact that the pit had been poured with sea water earlier, nothing they planted could survive. They only carefully lifted the aquarium out of the water tank and bucket.

When I lifted it up, I realized that the appearance of these plants was really weird. They had bottle-like bodies that no one had ever seen before. Someone had inserted a piece of green wood as thick as two fingers on top (I didn’t recognize bamboo) and stuffed a cork at one end. I don’t know what the stopper is for.

In order to make the transportation process easier, most of the water in these water pitchers was drained, so there were no signs of leakage in the bamboo tubes at the moment. Even if they were, these people thought they were stuck in the water tank. of.

The supervisors kept urging and watching closely, and the workers did not dare to mess with these strange plants without permission, so they only carefully transplanted them into the pit.

However, one worker, who was probably tired from working, saw a lot of water in the water tank where the water pitcher was placed, and couldn't help but take a sip.

The next second he squirted.

Oh my god, this is sea water!

The author has something to say: Still working in the same field... I was too sleepy last night and accidentally fell asleep. I got up at three o'clock in the morning to code. I found that the more than 1000 words I had written before were completely illogical, so I could only delete and rewrite. Maybe not many people like this unhurried farming style, but I can only say that I will work hard to improve.

Some people say they can’t vote. It’s probably because their accounts are too new or they don’t have moonstones. If you can’t vote, don’t vote. If you haven’t tried voting before, can you give it a try~~(づ￣3￣)づ╭? ~
