Chapter Twenty-Five: Barren Fortune and Dry Sea
There is a tavern in Earthstone Town, so the place to treat is naturally the "Wild Spring" tavern.
When the bartender saw Sivir returning safely, he was almost moved to tears.
Edward and the others also duly told Sivir that it was the bartender who asked him to save her.
Sivir gave the bartender a warm hug, and the meal became a bartender treat. Edward always felt that Sivir was definitely saving money, because Edward felt that Sivir was definitely the same kind as him, both iron roosters.
At the same time, the battle at the gates was over, and all of Sivir's followers came.
I don't know if I don't know, there are more than fifty followers of Sivir, and many of them have not been notified, or are coming.
These followers are diverse, from immature children to mighty warriors, ordinary people and heroic strongmen, which is enough to show the hearts of the people of Sivir in the barren wilderness.
Edward and the others saved Sivir, and naturally those followers poured a lot of wine.
Although he was a little dizzy from drinking, the people in this big room made Edward feel kind and lovely, and they were the hope of the barren wilderness! It reminded him of how the barbarians of the Northland were united and hopeful to survive in the harsh environment.
"Sivir, I don't think this river of the dead is a curse, but there is a huge metal mine in the upper reaches of this river, and because of the problems of this mine, this river has become like this. If the problem of the mine can be solved, it may be possible to make the barren fields prosperous, and at least the banks of the River of the Dead suitable for farming. Edward told Sivir of his observations.
"You're not kidding?" Sivir's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Well, and this deposit should be a mixed mine, if you can mine it all, it can also bring you a lot of income." Edward nodded affirmatively.
"Edward is a mage." The barrel is on the side.
"Is it really possible to undo the curse of the River of the Dead?" Sivir's eyes widened, and he unconsciously grabbed Edward's hand.
"Well, I said it's not a curse, or I'll give you an experiment." Edward said.
"Okay, let's go without further ado." Sivir dragged Edward to leave.
The others were taken aback by the sudden action of Sivir, and one of the most important things about Sivir as the goddess of war is that although Sivir is good to everyone, he has never really approached anyone. How could he openly catch a boy this time.
Although Edward is young, he is tall, and after so many adventures, he already has the appearance of some men. So the hearts of many men present were broken.
Later, when Edward heard that he had a solution to the River of the Dead, everyone stood up in shock.
The reason why the barren field is so barren is that it does not rain all year round, and water is very scarce.
As the largest river, the River of the Dead has plenty of water, especially in the summer. But it doesn't bring life, it just makes the land colorful and becomes a cursed place.
So can the people of the barren wilderness not be excited to hear the news?
This is a great event that will change the fate of the entire barren wilderness!
But can the boy really do it?
Despite their suspicions, everyone followed.
Many people know the secrets of the River of the Dead, so as long as you wrap yourself up, there is not much danger.
Since everyone came, Edward did not hide it, and began the experiment in front of everyone.
Fetching a cup of water from the Cursed River, Edward began to use the Hand of Fire to boil the water dry.
"You see if there are some metal spots in it after the water is evaporated." Edward pointed to the riverbank and said, "That's why the land here is these colors. ”
Edward then performed another trick to extract a cloud of water from the river.
"If the metal element is removed, then the water can be drunk." As he spoke, he drank the water.
Magical magical abilities and the possibility that the River of the Dead may be well managed. Suddenly everyone began to be intoxicated.
But at this time, Sivir showed a bitter smile, "But the source of the River of the Dead is in the Sea of Exhaustion, where it is said that a group of monsters live, and it is originally a forbidden place in our barren wilderness, where even the legendary powerhouses may not return. ”
"Well, I think I've heard about it." Hearing the Sea of Depletion, the barrel's face became serious.
But the followers don't have so many concerns, and they all become fanatical about Edward's possible future.
"Not afraid, we are not afraid! No matter how much we sacrifice, we will do it. One of the fighters said firmly.
"The barren wilderness cannot sink like this any longer. Our ancestors have been struggling here for generations, but our children should not go on like this, let us old guys give our children a good future. An old man burst into tears, and at the same time, the little boy next to him patted the old man's back obediently.
"Lord Sivir. This is a matter of barren wilderness, and we want to unite all of us. I believe that no one will refuse, the barren field is so big, there are definitely many strong people, as long as we unite as one, even if it is a monster, we will kill them all. A man of extraordinary bearing said. He is also a heroic powerhouse among Sivir's followers and the leader of a city-state.
"Yes, we are united, and nothing can be difficult for us. We've even survived a ghost life like the barren wilderness, what are we afraid of? Even if it's a devil dragon, we're not afraid. Everyone shouted loudly.
"This, Sivir I want to say that this matter is not so easy, it takes a lot of professional ability to manage the river, I'm afraid you have to invite the power of the magic technology of the silver city-state." Edward continued, "Yes, if you tell the Silver City-States about the mines, maybe they can help you. I took a look, the main minerals in this river also include mercury, a very important alchemy material, and there are also a lot of other magic ores, I believe that the silver city-state will be interested. ”
"A huge magic mine, I believe that someone will rush to develop it at that time, and then you will be able to solve the problem of this river without any effort." Edward said excitedly.
But then he thought of something and said apologetically: "It's just that you will have to give up the huge profits of this mineral deposit at that time." But I don't think I can hold it with the strength of the barren field. ”
The words are a bit straightforward, quite hurtful, Edward is a little sorry, but if he doesn't say this, Edward is afraid that if Sivir is greedy for money, then he will bring disaster to the barren wilderness.
Although in fact, today's events will definitely spread out and cause a huge storm and change the region and even the surrounding countries. Because magical deposits are likely to arouse the greed of the nations, and thus draw the barren fields into war.
Sivir was very generous, but said gratefully: "It's okay, Edward, you can help us solve this problem, and we are very grateful to you in the barren wilderness." As for bloodshed and sacrifice, our barren wilderness will never be afraid. ”
Looking at the people around them and nodding, it can be seen that although survival is the first priority in the barren wilderness, faith and hope can still arouse the courage in everyone's hearts.
This matter was declared confidential, but it may be difficult to keep it secret with so many people present.
Similarly, Edward promised Sivir to lobby the Silver City-State to exploit the deposit.
Compared to other countries, it is clear that the silver city-states, which are magically strong, are the best choice for mining and river management.
(To be continued.) )
