Half a year ago, the old king of Alabastan died of illness, and the king's son, Kobra, succeeded to the throne. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 And the first thing he did when he took office was to set up a high tax on fresh water. He even ordered the filling of wells dug by the citizens themselves for convenience.

"In view of the shortage of water in Alabastan and the unreasonable use of national water, a certain freshwater drinking tax was established to enable the people to learn to be diligent and thrifty and to care for the country's freshwater resources. ”

What a good king who cares for the environment and has a long-term vision! However, when they realized how outrageous the high freshwater water tax was, they realized what evil lies behind the control of charity.

An adult over the age of 20 and under the age of 50 has only 1,000 millilitres of drinking water a day, and only 500 millilitres for those under the age of 20 and over 50. I can't drink enough!

For six months, the people of Alabastan have barely saved any income, and they have even had to catch up with the previous years.

Now there are rebels everywhere, but the king's army is unexpectedly strong, and they are all replaced with new swords, the latest muskets, and they are even knights, regardless of foot soldiers, everyone is equipped with horses!

"The king made a fortune by collecting a huge water tax, and then he changed his guards into fine equipment. Occasional sporadic rebels were crushed by the King's army. At this, Carpenter's eyes flashed with unwillingness.

"That's why I want to desalinate the seawater. The reluctance in Carpenter's eyes turned into helplessness on his face. "As long as the dilution is successful, we will no longer be oppressed by the king's drinking tax!"

"Naive thoughts. Reilly scoffed. "They can collect a tax on fresh water, but can't they collect a tax on seawater?"

Carpenter shook his head, he didn't agree with Reilly's claim. "The reason he collects the freshwater tax is that the country lacks water, so as long as I let the country have an inexhaustible supply of fresh water, why is he collecting the freshwater tax!"

"How many times have the King's Army been here?" Van Pika asked, as if he had thought of something.

"Then came a second time. "I've been studying here for over three months, and yesterday was the first time they came here to make trouble. ”

"And have you made any recent discoveries?" Van Pika asked.

"When I found out that the sea was salty because of the salt, I bought some materials and utensils for filtration, intending to filter out the salt from the water. That was three days. Carpenter replied.

"The king really cares about you, he has only been walking back and forth for three days, and he has come all the way to cause trouble for you. Bit said with a chuckle.

Then Bit asked, "What was your reputation with King Kobra before he ascended to the throne?"

"That's what I wondered. Carpenter nodded. "He was known for his kindness before he took office, and we all admired him. ”

"Did he do anything strange when he took office? Have you seen him after he became king?" said Reilly, who roughly understood what Bit meant.

After listening to Reilly's questioning, Carpenter touched his chin and pondered what had happened in the past six months. After a long time, he said:

"It's strange indeed, that the new man who publicly delivers the King's speech in Albana and then patrols Alabastan has been the rule in our country for more than a thousand years, and he doesn't do it. ”

"Then do you old kings have any trusted, powerful ministers, the kind of ministers who entrust the next king?" asked Bit.

"You mean......" Carpenter heard what Bit was trying to say. "Impossible! absolutely impossible!" he didn't seem to be suspicious of the man.

"Lord Bildas is definitely not a man who would do such a thing! he would never do such a thing when he was a state secretary for ten years, assisting the king in keeping the country in order!"

"Man's desires are endless, and he has been the Minister of State for ten years. Schalke, who had not spoken, said suddenly.

Somehow, what happened in this country brought back his own memories of that unbearable past. "The ruler of the high will always be the cancer of the world!" Schalke looked a little gloomy.

"What do you mean, Lord Bildath is not like that!" Carpenter said with a change of face and a roar at Schalke.

"How many years has King Kobraren's reputation for kindness spread?" asked Bit directly, pointing to the core.

"The king he ......" Carpenter had nothing to say. Kobra's reputation has been passed down from childhood to adulthood!

"You people all over the country have grown up with a well-known Kobra who has a good reputation for more than ten years, and you can all suspect that a mere Bildas, who has been working for ten years, has bought you out of nowhere?"

"It doesn't matter who is good or bad, just go to them and ask them if they can't. "Roger couldn't stand it anymore. These people are talking about it here, and he won't listen to a word anyway.

"Roger is right!" said Akin first. "Let's talk here for a long time it's all blind guessing, just go and ask how good it is!"

Carpenter shook his head and rejected Roger's offer. "I still stand by my opinion, I will make fresh water out of seawater. ”

"Scientific research can't save the land of sand, and neither can endless fresh water. Bit looked at Carpenter with a stubborn face and said. "If you don't believe it, I'll prove it to you. ”

Everyone was a little confused when they heard it, because the meaning of bit was ......

"You say you can get fresh water out of the sea?" Ah Jin, who is worthy of being a monkey spirit, dares to think and dare to say.

Bit nodded with a serious face, "That's right, I stumbled upon it when I was idle when I was a kid. ”

Carpenter was faintly devastated that he had studied hard for more than three months, and it was not as good as the joke of an hour!

Bit saw the discomfort in Carpenter's heart, so he comforted him: "Don't worry too much, this is scientific research, maybe a whimsical idea will be used at some point in the future." ”

Carpenter also gradually calmed down, and he asked Bit very calmly, "So what do I need to prepare?"

"Two Erlenmeyer flasks, a beaker, two rubber catheters, one long glass catheter. There are also alcohol lamps. Bit said without thinking. "Actually, you need some special equipment, but it's good for the time being.

"Wait for me, I'll get ready. Carpenter got up and ran in the direction of town. To increase speed, he turned his legs straight into wheels. "Please don't take the hospitality to heart, sorry!" his apology drifted from afar.

"That...... Bit, can you really make fresh water?" asked Ah Jin, somewhat disbelieving.

Bit looked at him and rolled his eyes. "I'm going to do it later, do you think I'll do it?"

"And can you conjure a banana out of seawater?" Ah Jin asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

"Guess. ”

"I won't ask you if I can guess!" Ah Jin still asked unrelentingly. The others were already laughing and bent over......

"Hey, what are you laughing at! Isn't that funny!"

"Hahaha......"

"Hey, and ...... laughing."
