It was a small bag of pearls.

Charlie estimated that there were about 200 of them of various sizes.

The largest ones are the size of a large fingernail, while the smaller ones are the size of a grain of rice.

Can you take out such a bag of pearls but are so poor that you can't even drink water?

Charlie's light green eyes were full of coldness, but they were covered by the broken hair on his forehead, and he didn't let the simple young man in front of him see it.

"How much can you exchange for such a bag of 'seafood'?"

The young man was very honest, scratched his head, and replied honestly:

"This bag can be exchanged for a lot of food, enough to eat until the next time the merchant group comes."

It can be seen that the people here have never been educated, and those who exceed 10 may have to take off their shoes to continue, and more than 20 can 'kill them'.

Charlie's question he could only answer in such a 'tactful' way.

Patiently, Charlie asked again: "So how often does the merchant group come?" ”

The young man said, "Ah, it's been almost 3 months. It's so remote that they have to walk through a large forest of monsters, and it is said that they have to climb several mountains inhabited by dragons...... Every time the boss of the merchant group would cry to me that they had died a lot along the way, ah, the dragon god, that was terrible. ”

Charlie took a deep breath to contain his anger.

Such a bag of natural pearls that can be resold for 500 gold coins in the upper circles of the empire after a little business is only exchanged for 3 months' rations?!

Won't your conscience hurt, these gang of profiteers!!

No matter how angry it was, looking at the honest and silly young thin man in front of him, Charlie asked in a very weak tone: "Ah, don't you think it's a loss to exchange such beautiful beads for such a little food?" ”

The man was a little at a loss, but he still replied honestly: "These beads cannot be eaten, and we have salted the shell meat that produced them, and we think it is very cost-effective to exchange them for precious food." ”

"In the past, when the lord in the castle was here, did you also trade with the merchant group at this price?"

"Ahh In the past, when the old lord was here, we all went to the forest to farm, and at that time we had not found that these beads could be exchanged for money, and we didn't need them, and at that time we planted enough food to be self-sufficient. ”

Charlie was completely powerless, "So, next time, when are those damn profiteers coming?" ”

The young man listened to the lord who was half a head shorter than him grinding his back molars and asked, subconsciously shrunk his neck, and replied, "It's soon, it's fast, it's probably less than half a month to come." Yes! Speaking of which......"

"Thank you very much, new lord! If it weren't for you, we might have exchanged some fresh water for this time, so that there would be less food and we would all be hungry by then. You can't get enough shell meat on the beach. ”

……

After some tossing, Charlie had missed lunch time when he returned to the castle.

The territory was in ruins, and she barely solved the village's drinking water problem, but the follow-up problems were more and more difficult to solve.

First of all, the most important thing she needs to solve at the moment is the food problem.

Food and clothing are the basic conditions for human survival.

The second is the problem of Warcraft.

While thinking, Charlie dipped his quill in ink and wrote it on the precious parchment scroll.

This is what the maid Anne sorted out this morning when she was tidying up in the castle, and it was quite useful.

There's so much to do, and it takes manpower and time.

But at the moment, she lacks these two things the most.

Leaving behind the elderly, children, and women in the village, there are only about 27 strong laborers left who can work.

Exhale slowly.

The monsters of the forest and farming seem to be two different issues, but in fact they are inseparable.

But to solve these two things, I'm afraid it will take at least half a year.

So before that, what did the people eat?

The key is that the villagers are all 'war scum', so naturally there is no way to get more food in the resource-rich sea.

But she's different, even if she can't use arcane art yet, she has the knowledge of modern science as a foundation, if she can still let the people here starve to death after she comes, then she loses!

Rubbing her eyebrows, after lunch in a while, she still has to go to the territory, and today she wants to get some food for the people.

Thinking about it like this, Charlie realized that the mission that suddenly set off in the morning seemed to have not received her reward.

As soon as I thought about it, I saw a golden font that looked very scattered up and down.

[Become a qualified lord series of quests: (1) Patrol your territory (completed)]

[Quest reward optional: Entering the house to officially become an arcane apprentice/two new Aein Stones (optional)]

"Arcane apprentice! I'm going to be an Arcane Apprentice! Damn it! If you dare to steal the big guy's stone again! I'd rather chop my hands than cut you off! ”

[Claim the Quest Reward - Enter the House and Become an Official Arcane Apprentice.] 】

As the golden words appeared and dissipated, the three Al N Stones given to her by the red-robed Mirami and the white-robed Capa scrambled to break through the bottom of the pouch hanging from her waist and flew out.

They emitted a soft glow of white, red, and purple until they flew above Charlie's head before slowing down.

In a way that the satellite was moving at a constant speed and in an irregular way, it 'danced' above Charlie's head.

The white one of the three arcane stones of different colors became stronger, and at the same time, Charlie's eyes became hollow.

An inexplicable picture appeared in front of her eyes.

In the background was the village of Beira, which she had just seen.

Then the screen jumps.

At night, from the unfamiliar forest, several wolves with silver fur on their backs dressed like calves slowly walked out.

The screen switches again.

The village of Beira was lit up one after another.

Young children, three small children, were dragged into the forest by wolves......

At this point, Charlie's emerald eyes gradually regained their clarity.

She held her slightly swollen head and slowed down for a full ten seconds.

"What is this?"

"Come to think of it, the white Aynstone is the ...... of the prophecy system"

"Could it be that the picture just now will only happen in the future?"

"The village of Bella will be attacked by that silverback wolf, ah! What should I do? ”

"Well, I can use the same prophecy spells, so can I use other spells? It's like a Miami mentor, a big ball of light, no matter how thick the door is, it can smash you into slag. ”

cough~ She definitely didn't complain that the tutor had damaged the gate of her house, so that everyone could only use the half-blown castle gate.

Not......

If I can use verbal arcane, then I can also use red, which represents the arcane of plasticity!

Hey!

She's a girl who will do it immediately when she thinks of it, and she used to feel like she was in a hurry.

So, without much thought, she just faced the open space in her room......

The relevant knowledge automatically comes to mind.

Fireball, the simplest technique that both an arcane and a mage would rub.

It's just that the Arcanist has to rely on the Ayn Stone and the number of times he breaks to calculate the maximum number of releases per day.

And as long as the magician has magical power, he can rub fireballs infinitely.

Let's start with a fireball!

Fortunately, reason returned at the last moment.

Not! It doesn't seem good to be in front of your own house.

Charlie walked up to the window, opened it, and raised his hand to the outside.

"Fireball ——!"

A small orange-red fireball flew like a fireball that flew towards the endless sea outside the window.

About 20 meters later, it fell into the sea with a parabola.

And Charlie, after releasing the fireball, his eyes were dizzy, and his feet were weak, as if he was stepping on a soft cloud.

One stumbled, the world spinning, and she slammed her head over the window.

Seeing that half of them even leaned out of the window, at a critical moment, a white dress quickly piled her up from the window.

Shengsheng pushed Charlie back to the window, and then scooped up the three Aein Stones that had lost their luster and fell straight down.

"Oh hoo~ little guy, it's so worry-free~ Fortunately, I'm an arcane master of the prophecy department, if that old madman in Miami takes care of you alone, hehe~ I'm probably going to rummage through your corpse in the belly of the fish in a while~Hahaha~"

The white-robed Capa stepped on a pair of magical eternal magic flying shoes and stood in the air.
