Chapter 12: Showing Your Strength
Speaking of the first floating city built by the Grand Arcanist, the Arcanists of any faction will have a look of yearning and pride on their faces.
The city-state floating in the air naturally has no water.
The great Arcanists directly opened the Water Plane and built extremely convenient pipes in the city, connecting it with the water source of the Water Plane.
It is very easy to solve the problem of water supply in the floating city.
Charlie was speechless in astonishment as he heard the white-robed Capa say this.
Isn't this an otherworldly version of 'tap water'?
Is that okay?
Suddenly, Charlie's eyes lit up, since he could play like this, who would risk digging a ditch in the forest?
That thing might be blocked in mud when it rains, and you'll have to do it over and over again.
Immediately, Charlie excitedly asked his two Arcane Mentors how to build a 'tap water' system like a floating city.
The two arcane instructors glanced at each other, the red-robed Miami looked up at the sky, while the white-robed Capa coughed lightly and said meaningfully: "My dear student, this is your territory, not ours, we will teach you knowledge, and it is up to you how to do it." ”
Charlie raised his index finger and pointed at himself, speechless in shock.
She hadn't used the most basic arcane magic now, except for being forced into her brain by three Ayn Stones with 3 trillion 'packets' of information.
Some rudimentary arcane knowledge was already imbued into her memory.
But there is no such thing as using arcane magic to create a set of knowledge to supply the whole village with drinking water!
Aren't the two mentors making fun of her?
The Arcanists of the Prophecy Department are probably used to being magic sticks, and they have a sense of 'I'm here to fool you' when they speak.
"Kid, it's not difficult, we teach you to do it, it's just a matter of time."
The mage girl on the side breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but sarcastically, "Yes, but when that time comes, unless it rains, those who don't get water will die of thirst." ”
Charlie didn't want to waste her time on meaningless verbal battles, and as the lord of the land, she immediately stepped into the role to call the shots.
"There's definitely going to be a drinking system like the one the Arcanists built in the Floating City, but obviously, it's going to be a huge project that will take time."
"But before that, I thought, it wasn't a lot of work to get some fresh water, and I didn't need to go into dangerous forests."
Although Scarface and the others proposed to go into the forest to the east full of dangerous monsters to check the water canal, Charlie now did not mention that it was too much to detain people and then instruct people to work.
Therefore, if she can solve the problem by herself, she will never ask a few members of the mercenary team to help.
Charlie turned his head to explain a few words to Old Tom.
Old Tom looked like he was about to say something, but he looked at the villagers who were drinking from each other, and immediately retracted his hesitation, and went to the villagers to convey the orders of the trust lord.
The two arcanists were curious to see how their apprentices could solve their immediate needs.
Including the magician Kana.
Everyone wondered what an unworthy arcane apprentice who had just come into contact with the Arcane Stone and had not yet systematically come into contact with the arcane could do without their help in such a matter.
Soon, Charlie gave his own answer.
She had a large iron bucket erected by the sea.
The iron bucket is with a lid, and it is more than half the height of a person.
Old Tom had brought a leather, which was the only cow in the village to use for milking.
Charlie asked the villagers to carry seawater and fill the tin buckets.
Then burn firewood and boil seawater.
The backfill is inserted into the drum from the lid of the bucket, but not deeply.
The other section of the backfill is connected to a small wooden basin.
After a while, the sea boiled, and Charlie turned back to ask his arcane mentor to freeze the catheter.
The red-robed Capa was very curious if such a toss could really bring out fresh water, so he stepped in to help.
The steam of the seawater is poured back and solidified into water droplets, which 'tick' and 'tick' fall into the wooden basin.
However, at this time, except for Charlie, everyone present thought that the seawater in the big iron bucket had been transferred to the small wooden basin.
Charlie pointed to a drop of water that was quickly gathering in the tub and said, "That's fresh water, you can taste it." ”
Old Tom walked over and bent down to taste the water in the tub.
“!! Yes, yes, it's freshwater! ”
"Oh! O dragon god! It's really amazing! ”
Seeing this, the villagers gathered around curiously, and each of them stretched out their dirty fingers, saved some water from the wooden basin, and put it in their mouths.
Then, they danced excitedly.
The mercenaries and the two arcane instructors couldn't help but surround them and check them, and found that it was really freshwater.
Charlie was going to put the device here, but apparently it needed to be maintained, so it was said that the ice that kept the soft leather tube as a 'condensation tube' needed to be maintained by her arcane mentor.
Fortunately, Charlie's display of otherworldly knowledge captivated the two erudite arcanists.
They consider themselves erudite, but they cannot understand the 'mystery' of distilling seawater to purify fresh water.
For this reason, Charlie naturally left the two Arcane Masters behind to continue distilling the seawater until the people of Bella Village received their share of water.
At this time, he called Old Tom to ask the villagers what they mainly relied on to make a living.
After all, a place where they can't drink water can no longer imagine that they can eat a full stomach.
And this is not a barren desert, so you can't even go without food.
Old Tom hadn't recovered yet, and his whole person spoke excitedly.
Water is the source of life.
Since the loss of the lord, the village of Bella has been cut off from the water source for survival by the increasingly flooding forest monsters, and can only rely on the rain to accumulate more.
Recently, there has been a drought without rain, and their water reserves are decreasing every day, and their lives are becoming more and more desperate.
And such despair was solved today by a few words from their new lord.
Seeing that old Tom was crying for a while and laughing for a while, it seemed that Fan Jinzhong was in the middle of the move, and there was no way to communicate.
Charlie had no choice but to call a normal-looking villager.
The villager's name was Wacker, a young man in his twenties, but his skin was thin and his cheeks were sunken.
He was at a loss to see Charlie, but he was able to communicate.
Charlie learns about the current situation in the village from Wacker.
People here go to the sea every morning, and that's their main source of food.
They couldn't go any deeper, only where the water was up to their ankles, because there would be some small sharks at waist highs.
Those sharks are in small groups, and a minute of work can tear people to pieces.
Fishing boats are also not available.
Because the small fishing boat was overturned by those dense small sharks, and the big boat must not be overturned, do not doubt that those sharks are very intelligent and can definitely do it.
The big ship will run aground.
Fishing on a long voyage is even more impossible.
There are more terrible things in the deeper seas, and then it is not a problem of a group of small sharks that only harm people in the shallow seas.
Charlie rubbed his eyebrows after hearing this.
Relying on the little bit of seafood that washes ashore every day, it's no wonder that the people here look like this, and if it goes on like this, it is estimated that there will be a big problem, and they will get scurvy.
The solution to this problem is either through trade or by growing it yourself.
However, if you want to grow your own, there are only two ways.
One is what Old Tom said when he was chattering on the road, that crops can be grown close to the forest.
But apparently, the monsters of the forest don't mind dragging the poor villagers who go to do farm work into the forest as a hearty meal.
And the other ......
She wasn't very sure, and it took a lot of experimentation and time.
Sighing, Charlie asked, "Don't you have any other ingredients here?" ”
"No, the merchant group will come back in a month, and they will exchange some seafood, give us some vegetables and flour for coarse bread," said the young lord. ”
"Seafood? Sun-dried seafood? ”
The young man scratched his hair, and he couldn't tell, but he got up and bowed slightly, and ran back to his house as fast as he could, to show their great lord the seafood that the merchants had acquired.
After a while, Wacker returned with a bag of seafood and showed the contents of the bag to their lords.
Charlie looked at the bag curiously, and his eyes froze for a moment......
