Wolf King

Farm No. [-], which has been flooded for almost a week, is the frontline of the worst-hit by the flood.

Not to mention the destruction of the fields and houses. After the water recedes, the serious problem that more than 2000 people in the entire farm must face is that there is no clean water available.

Under the scorching sun in summer, the earth that has been soaked for nearly seven days exudes a faint smell of stench and mildew. Rotten plant stems and leaves, insects, birds, and animal corpses pollute all ponds, canals, rivers and streams, Arthur When the patriarch organized people to clean up the cistern used by the farm to get water, he just fished out several soaked beast carcasses from it...

It is definitely not enough to collect and filter rainwater alone, not to mention that it has not rained for three consecutive days after the water is released. The daily water problem must be solved first.

Lieutenant Dana and the two snow elves worked hard for two hours, digging a large pit one meter deep and five meters wide beside the polluted river, and spread fine sand and charcoal powder into it according to the snow werewolf's requirements. The pit was low, and after the water in the river seeped in, I picked up a big shovel and stirred wildly.

Three of these clear water pits were dug next to the flowing water source, and the three snow spirits were busy all morning.

"Thank you so much for your hard work!" Dahe ran over with a box in his arms, nodded at Dana and the others with a simple and honest smile, and while they were vigorously stirring, mixed alum, chlorite (that is, bleach Prepared from bittern salt) poured into the clean water pit, then nodded and thanked, and continued to the next place.

A stream of river water is filtered with earth, gravel, charcoal, disinfected with alum bleach, and can be taken after precipitation...Of course, according to the experience taught by the Ministry of Fire, it must be boiled for 3 minutes before drinking.

Helped with the water purification work all morning. During the lunch break, Lieutenant Dana finally took a sip of water... the taste is quite indescribable (the smell of bleach...), but it is better than yesterday's non-drinking water and relying on It's much better to quench your thirst with canned fruit and nibbling on fresh sweet potatoes.

The snow elves helped with the heavy work, and the snow werewolves and the cat clan did not treat them badly in terms of food. Everyone else was eating pancakes. The chef of the farm canteen directly sent the six snow elves a pot of fried dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage, a plate of refreshing cold dishes, and There was a big plate of shredded sweet potatoes.

When bringing out the sweet potato dessert with beautiful shredded sugar from the basket, Chef Snow Werewolf was a little embarrassed: "Dahe is busy, and the dessert I made is not as delicious as Dahe's."

The snow elves who couldn't help eating dessert first retorted: "Who said, the dessert you made is delicious!"

"That's right, this sweet potato is crispy and sweet, so delicious~!"

A small half of a plate of shredded sweet potatoes was snatched away by these guys in an instant. Dai Na couldn't see it, and she glared: "Don't grab the snacks, let's eat the main meal first!"

Turning around, Dana smiled sweetly at Chef Snow Werewolf again, ten times sweeter than the part-time maid's smile when she was on vacation: "You are the best chef I have ever seen, the skin of this sweet potato is really delicious, The color is beautiful, how do you make it?”

The chef said happily: "Oh, the secret is to roll it with a little vinegar before frying in the pan, and add potato starch twice, so that the color will not turn black and the skin will not become soft... and boil sugar juice Be careful not to make it sticky, the color of the sugar juice is good, the silk will be beautiful, and the taste will be more mellow..."

The five snow elf fighters stared at the lieutenant who was asking for advice on skills and frantically stuffing shredded sweet potatoes into his mouth, dare not speak out.

Fortunately, the fried dumplings were also very delicious. Chef Snow Werewolf thoughtfully poured them a bowl of vinegar to dip the dumplings, to appease the small grievances of the snow elves soldiers.

After lunch, the snow elves cleaned the tableware in the temporary dishwashing shed and put them in baskets. The snow elves came out feeling their stomachs comfortably, and found that the two snow werewolf chefs were carrying hoes and carrying baskets on their backs. Walk.

"Let go of those two chefs!!" The snow elves stared at Dahe righteously with their ruby-like eyes.

This group of people actually treat the chef as a coolie, and let the chef climb up and down with muddy water to carry the heavy agricultural machinery, which is too much!

When the water receded, the two chefs were asked to stand in the knee-high sewage to clean up the collapsed masonry. The hands of the two chefs were whitened and bruised, which was even more excessive!

... So Dahe didn't take much effort, and pulled the group of snow elves to continue working as coolies.

As for what to say about pity for beauty, whether it is too much to use snow elves, who are generally more handsome, as coolies to do dirty work-it doesn't exist.

Dahe himself has dropped mud bricks and picked up agricultural fertilizers.

Evelyn, a slender forest elf and a spell caster, was sent to build roads.

With the beauty of the big river, the sugar-coated cannonballs carefully made by the snow werewolf chefs (feeding gourmet snacks three times a day and diligently changing the menu), and the warm and sincere thanks from the cat clan, Lieutenant Dana and the five snow elves The soldier insisted on staying in the farm for more than a month; he didn't let go until the ruins of the farm were cleaned up, all the places soaked in sewage were disinfected and pests were killed, and the big cats were helped to go to the reconstruction point. They left... ahem.

Unaware that his family had been exploited for more than 30 days, the snow elves carried the gifts from the snow werewolves & big cats on their backs, and waved their hands reluctantly after walking a long way.

Chief Arthur, Dahe and others who came to see him off also waved their arms affectionately.

"It would be great if they could stay forever, what a pity." Patriarch Arthur reluctantly looked at the backs of the group of snow elves.

The two chefs who heard the words and saw them off nodded again and again, didn’t they… The snow elves have a larger appetite than the big cats, and the big cats are not picky eaters (big cats don’t eat milk products), but the labor force is the snow werewolf At this level—at least [-]% of the farm ruins were cleaned up by these snow elves!

"They still have to go back to the Ice and Snow King City, and the excuses (for deceiving them to work) are almost useless." Dahe has no regrets, he is already taking advantage of being able to stay with him for so long, and if he doesn't take advantage enough, something will happen~!

Chief Arthur couldn't help squinting at Dahe, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

From the beginning, Dahe never mentioned "employment", and finally let him go, and naturally he didn't pay the settlement salary...

Of course, with Dahe's character of "cautiously taking advantage", he would not eat people up. Although he didn't pay them, he gave them gifts of equivalent value...that is, condensed milk, honey, and fruit sauces. Ah, all kinds of sweets and snacks, and so on, filled six big bags - anyway, the labor force is at the level of a snow werewolf, and they have been working for a month and a few more days, so you can't be too guilty, right?

Da He felt that he was fair, but Patriarch Arthur felt awkward.This kind of feeling of mobilizing all the staff to fool a few people and play with others in the palm of their hands, the real and upright patriarch Arthur is really a bit blind...

"But since it's useful, it means there's nothing wrong with doing it... Although I can't do it, at least I won't disturb others' work." Patriarch Arthur comforted himself in his heart, and stopped turning his head to lick his hands.

Well, only when big cats are forced to pretend to be stupid can they uncontrollably use instinctive behavior to resolve embarrassment.

Xiao Yun squatted in front of and behind Valentine for a full three months, secretly making countless wind and rain, and then returned with a large army in a cool manner.

He had just disembarked at the Elven Port, and before he had time to catch his breath, he heard Ashu, who was diligently running a food store, talk about the fact that the tribe had been crushed by floods, and Xiao Yun was stunned.

That night, Xiao Yun took the canal boat back to the tribe, and when he passed the sugar beet planting base, he saw a large bare field that had just been plowed...

—Where are my beets? !I have so many beets in slices, with no end in sight! !

Xiao Yun held his head in both hands, his mouth was wide open, his facial muscles twitched, his whole body exuded a low pressure of grief, despair and mania, which made the curious Moon of Revenge dare not come forward to talk to him...

Silently walking to the stern of the canal boat, Moon of Vengeance whispered to the newborn Mr. Xiao En, "What's wrong, Ayun?"

Under the moonlight, Mr. Xiao En, who was wearing the same gray robe and cloak as Moon of Vengeance, did not look much different from "before he died", except that his complexion became extremely pale, his eyeballs were a little gray, and his pupils were dull. The palm of the cuff was terribly thin, and the round nails became a little sharp.

The change in life form did not change Mr. Xiao En's open-minded personality. He pointed to the west bank of the canal with a smile: "This area is the sugar beet planting base of the Huoyanbu. There used to be 10,000+ acres of sugar beets. You can't see it even if you are sailing on a boat for half an hour. It's over...it's been flooded once, and now it's all gone."

There is a beet plantation run by a local nobleman near the Mage Tower in Moon of Vengeance. He knows how important sugar beets are, and he was shocked when he heard such an astonishing loss: "This, this is really—— "

"The loss is indeed heavy." Mr. Xiao En said, "But A Shu also said that the upstream found it early, and the people and agricultural machinery in the base were evacuated to the Elf Forest in time to take refuge. There were no dead people, so it took less than two months after the disaster It is a blessing in misfortune to sort out the flooded fields."

Moon of Revenge thought for a while, and nodded in agreement—this shows that the Snow Wolf Clan is not injured, and a temporary disaster is nothing, and they can make a comeback.

"Huoyan Department..." Moon of Vengeance murmured in a low voice, looking up and looking around.

The water surface broken by the canal boat going upstream has become clear again, but the water level is still a bit high, sparkling under the moonlight, and the water is gurgling.

It has just entered the early autumn, but the evening wind on the grassland is already a bit chilly. The vegetation on both sides of the canal, which has been washed by the flood, has just barely recovered a little vitality.

This land is wild, but it is also full of vitality—the bare fields at the end of the line of sight, in the eyes of Vengeance Moon, are good lands that have been carefully tidied up and just waiting to be sown.

The flood of natural disasters that flooded countless fields and forced the snow wolves to enter the elf forest for refuge did not make the creatures on this land bow their heads. Sorting out the washed-out fields, still going on with their lives...

Moon of Vengeance couldn't help feeling a little envious.

As far as he has seen with his own eyes, if there is a disaster in the territory of the human kingdom, it is normal for a large area of ​​land to be abandoned for a few years... Human villages, towns, and agricultural groups simply do not have the ability to recover so quickly. Production conditions; one year’s harvest reduction will inevitably lead to a group of agricultural producers fleeing and starving to death—even if a grain of grain cannot be harvested, the rent and tax of the noble lords cannot be reduced. of!

After the farmers fled and the land was abandoned for a year, the local aristocratic lords can openly and honestly classify those "lands without owners" as their own farm estates; fugitive, dead.

"...This is what he said, the embodiment of the fundamental principle of 'to whom the collective wealth belongs'..." Webb Hodgson Moon of Vengeance shifted his gaze to Xiao Yun, who was squatting on the bow deck with his head in his arms, loading mushrooms. Very deep.

After the ball day, Hodgson saw Yarman and Adrian who had sneaked up to the Cavaliers for a visit.

Hodgson had a friendship with Yarman (the guy with the most friends in "J") when he was not in Vengeance Moon, and this meeting, Hodgson was shocked by Yarman's changes——Yarman This guy, who was so poor that he couldn't even afford a transportation mount, and Adrian each led a caravan to move around the Federation countries for more than half a year, unexpectedly saved enough money to buy a viscount! !

Hodgson, who had only saved the same amount of property for decades, was almost killed by curiosity, so he shamelessly sneaked into the meeting between "J" and the Snow Werewolf - and then Hodgson was met by the new~world~world He was baptized by the snow wolf clan's の world view like a storm, and he was rubbed against the floor by countless new knowledge beyond his common sense...

And then, behind Xiao Yun's ass was a black magician who was absolutely ranked in the top [-] in the entire continent...

After sailing through the night, Xiao Yun immediately trotted towards the disaster-stricken direction after getting off the canal pier, to personally confirm how his old nest was ruined by the flood.

The four factories, large fruit forests, and vegetable fields have all turned into white land; the triangular land on the right side of the canal is bare and there is no hair left.

With a "poof", Xiao Yun spat out the old blood in his heart, and weakened weakly...

"It's okay, Ah Yun!" Ah Shan hurriedly hugged his eldest nephew nervously.

"Uncle Ah Shan, your brick factory is gone..." Xiao Yun was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

"Ah!" Ah Shan let go of his hands and looked towards the swamp nervously.

There are no road signs and no reference objects. Ashan can't see where the brick factory is at all... But so many vegetable fields and fruit forests in the south of the tribe are gone. There are many swamps, no matter how stupid Ah Shan is, he knows that his brick factory has been reduced to ashes.

Ah Shan trembled all over.

Now Xiao Yun was worried, and quickly reached out to grab Ah Shan's arm: "Ah Shan..."

"No, it's okay... Originally, our brick factory was built by ourselves." Ah Shan turned his head tremblingly, suppressing his grief, and squeezed out a stiff smile, "Just... build it again."

Sean & Hodgson who followed: "..."

"This is a blood relative." Hodgson said enviously.

Sean originally wanted to say something, but suddenly thought that all of Hodgson's family and relatives were dead, so he quickly shut his mouth.

Yu and the fighters who participated in the ball game followed. Seeing such a tragic situation, Yu gave it back, but Xiaohua took the lead in crying, and no one could do it...

Xiao Yun persuaded this and coaxed that, but he couldn't handle these sad big guys at all; it was Huoyan patriarch who heard the news and came to tell everyone seriously that there was no staff reduction during the flood. The factory building, even the little wolf cubs in the tribe were diligently moving bricks on the factory construction site, and the scene was slightly under control——Ashan & the soldiers ran to help as soon as they heard that the new factory was under construction, and whoever pulled it off It doesn't work.

"..." Hodgson, who was watching the whole process, was... a little envious and a little sympathetic.

Anyway, it was not the first time that Xiao Yun had endured the "shame" of the clansmen, he had long been used to it, and brought the distinguished guests into the clan with his usual expression.

Called Xuehua to the prefab room to inquire about the loss, and confirmed that it was still within the tolerable range. This guy let out a long breath... As long as the new hilly area and the tribe are not affected (Balke Lab & Evelyn The magic application team & Mr. Sean’s studio are both in the tribe), not to mention the loss of nearly half of the field, the entire farm can be cleaned up and start over.

"A year's delay in tribal development ... can afford it."

With one hand pinching his chest, Xiao Yun flipped through the memoirs of several work meetings in the tribe during his departure that Xue Hua had sorted out with the other, thinking frantically about the problems exposed by the flood.

After the water recedes in the Huoyan Department, the accumulated water drains faster. This is all thanks to the local water conservancy projects that have been repaired in the farmland. , the mineral salts and organic substances in the upper soil layer are dissolved by accumulated water and transferred to the lower soil layer, resulting in weathering of the surface, strong acidic and barren soil layer, etc.), especially land destruction.

The drainage project of No. 20 farm was not in place, and it was soaked in water for a week. Before spring sowing in the coming year, it must be plowed deeply and then plowed deeply. The amount of chemical fertilizer application is estimated to increase by about 30%~[-]%. In the hilly new area, this time it was not affected.

On Xiao Yun's side, he looked through the meeting minutes indifferently, and glanced at the countermeasures of the tribe's left-behind personnel during the flood. On the other side, Xue Hua, who pretended to be calm but was actually trembling with guilt, stared at him nervously...

So, Xuehua is still too young—when something happens, she rushes to find someone to take the blame, Xiao Yun will not do this kind of thing, unless he can actually catch a guy's sore foot, this guy will Will jump up and stomp people into the ground...

The hidden danger of floods is determined by the geographical environment of the southwest region. For the losses caused by such force majeure natural disasters, not to mention that everyone left behind in the tribe has coped very well. Even if everyone is clumsy and the losses are bigger, Xiao Yun will not trouble them.

Patriarch Huoyan, who had known Xiao Yun's personality for many years after silent observation, was not as nervous as Xuehua. Since he entered the door and sat down, Patriarch Huoyan has never cared whether Xiao Yun would go crazy, but has been staring at Mr. Xiao En up and down.

"Mr. Xiao En, why have you changed so much?" Patriarch Huoyan couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I have become a Necromancer." Mr. Xiao En said frankly.

Evelyn, who had just entered the door, slipped and fell to the ground with a thud, her little face falling firmly.

"Evelyn?!" The Huoyan patriarch was startled.

"Undead, mage?!" Evelyn, who had a nosebleed, got up in shock.

"Yes, Evelyn, now I can compare with you who can live the longest." Mr. Xiao En said with a smile.

Evelyn took a deep breath and growled, "What the hell are you doing—!!"

Patriarch Huoyan shrank back, Xuehua was stunned, Xiao Yun covered his ears with a "hiss", and stared at Evelyn with disgust.

"I've reached the end of my life span." Mr. Xiao En had to confess honestly.

Evelyn was stunned, and the momentum of the lion's roar immediately weakened.

Mr. Xiao En smiled and got up, and pulled the dejected Evelyn over to sit down: "Why, I became a necromancer, are you going to despise me?"

"No..." Evelyn was very conflicted, "Well, since it is Mr. Xiao En's choice, then..." She couldn't continue, she looked up at Xiao Yun, and she was looking at her out of the corner of her eye The Moon of Revenge came over, and her delicate body shook.

"You, you—" Evelyn stood up in a loss of composure, and raised her finger very impolitely.

Moon of Vengeance thought about how to deal with this situation, nodded slightly, and (thought he was very) polite: "Good day."

Evelyn's dull face: "(￣口￣|||)??"

Mr. Xiao En quickly turned his face away, his shoulders trembled slightly.

Evelyn swallowed, and her eyes slowly moved down to the table.

The center of the rumors is the ruthless, unkind, and revenge moon who appears to mean the coming of terror. She is sitting less than half a meter away from her teacher Ayun, with a glass of hot water in front of her right hand , holding a small spoon in his left hand, is scooping up the smooth and tender milk and egg pudding from the dessert plate, and putting it firmly into his mouth.

The rumored black mage, who was always associated with cruelty and darkness, was extremely ruthless even when eating pudding.

"..." Evelyn stared blankly at Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun turned his back on his dislike, and his disciple still had to take care of himself: "This is Mr. Weber Hodgson. Mr. Hodgson, this is my disciple Evelyn."

Vengeful Moon had already greeted her, tasting the pudding with a grim expression, watching Evelyn silently.

"...Good day, Mr. Hodgson." Evelyn tried her best to put on a ladylike smile, squatted down slightly, and made a gesture of lifting her skirt.

Teacher -!Even the Moon of Vengeance brought back this kind of thing, can't you say it in the letter! !

Hmm...Xiao Yun actually has no confidence in whether he can bring back such a useful labor force as Hodgson, er, the Great Magician. After all, Mr. Xiao En was able to board the ship because he is an idealist, and he has no confidence in Crowe. Ning Kingdom’s unsightly transformation has remnants; “J” was originally a follower of the Lich King, and they wished for a change in the human kingdom. They found that the snow wolf tribe’s path can be passed through, and they are willing to board the ship... er, follow them to learn advanced experience Quite normal.

Hodgson is different. The remnants of the City of the Moon are all dead, and their hometown was burnt to ashes more than a hundred years ago. There is nothing left. He has never been a hard-working, ambitious, revolutionary person with ideals and dreams. Opportunities to benefit hometown dreams...

Squatting in the mage tower, if you have nothing to do, you can show your face at the Frankish feast, and you can get the wool of the royal family and nobles of the human race with your reputation. You can't be too relaxed and happy in your childhood. Why are people willing to follow you on the grassland to blow the wind?Is he in a hurry or Xiao Yun is very beautiful?

When returning to the grassland, the black magician silently followed the Inner Sea Fleet of the Ministry of Fire, Xiao Yun was not sure if this guy would part ways with them at the Elven Port; Only after silently following over did Xiao Yun dare to be sure that this guy was really interested in the grassland...

No way, with Webb Hodgson's taciturn character, this deep coffin face with deeper eyes, and his completely abandoned social skills, unless he is willing to express himself, it is really difficult for others to guess him What are you thinking.
