Chapter 68: Famine

"Cam, you're so powerful, your feathers have turned golden, will they burn people?" said Emir, squatting down and looking at Wang Chu, who was sleeping on the ground.

But Wang Chu ignored her, but pretended to sleep on the side, there were a few fallen golden feathers on the ground, she picked up a few and scratched her nose a few times, Wang Chu couldn't help but simply bury her head under her wings.

"Hmm...... Cam, don't be so cold. "The emir played tricks.

Bowls of food were placed on the ground around it, most of which had been eaten to the brim.

It's been a few days since the last time the lava receded, and the Mages Guild finally made the most difficult decision to divert the remaining lava away from the river and slowly cool it in the water, otherwise the walls alone would not be able to stop it.

It is also for this reason that the water outside Hajar has deteriorated since that day, and there will always be a pungent smell wafting into the city, and the undrinkable water of the river has caused a large area of water shortage in the whole city.

At the suggestion of the Palatinate lord, the army excavated a large amount of groundwater, hoping to survive this difficulty, and at the same time encouraged merchants to buy more water from the surrounding cities, but it was a river after all, and the place that had nourished Hajar for many years, and suddenly being undrinkable was almost catastrophic for the city.

The several underground water sources dug by the army were filled with large groups of people every day, guarded by troops to fetch water in order, and the merchants had to fix the price of the water they brought in to prevent anyone from using it for profit.

And Lias hasn't been to the academy for a few days since she came back because of her injury, and the relationship between the two has somewhat cracked.

It should be said...... Wang Chu understood his identity better.

After all, the beast is a tool to assist the master, and the living environment depends on the master's status and attitude towards himself, but now Lias is still the eldest lady, because Julian can walk sideways in the city, and after that, the power of the military department will always slowly weaken, and they will only rely on themselves in the future.

Wang Chu didn't want to live a life like this all the time, although Lias was not bad to herself at the moment...... That's all because she's still a student, but in the future, when this girl also has to support the Lucifergus family, will she also encounter this situation?

No one can answer for themselves.

He thought about leaving by himself, but once the distance from Lias was really far away, his body seemed to be drained of strength, and he became very weak, like a seriously ill person, who could return to heaven at any time.

Wang Chu attributed it to the power of the contract, and perhaps it was also one of the ways to limit the summoning of beasts.

Maybe it's time to find a way to save yourself.

"Cam, look. Fresh wheat cakes, if you want to eat one, it's delicious. The emir was still tirelessly amusing himself.

In the past few days, wheat food is not easy to find, due to the destruction of the largest farm, Feld Farm, and the recent water source is unusable, bread has also been fried to sky-high prices, and aristocratic families like Lucy Figgs have consciously reduced the amount a lot, and ordinary people dare not imagine it.

I'm afraid there will be a famine if this continues, Wang Chu thought.

As for the food that stretches out, eat everything you can eat, and you can't treat yourself badly.

He looked up...... Wait, look at the face of the emir who only has half a biscuit left, and then his mouth is still bulging.

Didn't you give me food? Why did you eat it yourself?

"Oh, Cam. You've finally woken up. The little mouth of the drum said.

Then he put the half of the wheat cake next to his nose and handed it to his mouth.

"Come, eat. Looking at the moist snot fluid, Wang Chu suddenly felt that this girl would not be scared stupid by the lava, even though it was her own mucus Wang Chu turned his head in disgust.

If you want to eat, you eat, I won't eat.

"Emir. Hearing his name called downstairs, the emir immediately stood up.

"Sister, come up!" beckoned to the people below.

It was Lias who had returned, and after a few days of rest, it was said that today she was already able to go to the academy.

After returning from this mission, Wang Chu did not change back into the form of a squirrel, so he could no longer live in the house, so he had to choose a relatively wide roof to live. I don't seem to be very angry about not going back to my room.

Treading ......

The sound of footsteps on the stairs.

Sounds like he's still coming up with something.

"Sister. The emir ran to the top of the stairs to meet him.

"How's Cam?" asked Lias.

"It's still like that, I'm not angry or noisy, I'll eat anything, it's just ...... Don't pay much attention to people. "Wang Chu's state has been almost like this in the past few days, there is no need to spill his anger on the two girls, but he seems to be ignorant.

The smell of barbecue in the middle of the nose is still grilled in your favorite sauce.

Lias held a large poke of flesh in her arms and placed it in front of her.

"Cam, you're hungry, eat quickly, there's a lot of it for you. Lias whispered, then crouched down and stroked the feathers on her head.

Both hands are wrapped in bandages, and the injuries sustained during the Felder Farm mission are still not healed.

The aroma was attractive, and Wang Chu lowered his head and ate it in the bucket.

Well, it's your favorite taste.

During this time, there was no wheat food and more meat products were replaced, and the outside looked like it had become abundant.

But Wang Chu knew that the reason why so many livestock were killed was probably because of the water source, and it would be difficult to raise livestock without a water source, so it was a good way to kill and sell them for money while they were not dead. However, livestock have a long adult cycle and are much more expensive than ordinary wheat, so it is not good for the city to continue.

When Lias was feeding, the emir behind him consciously walked away, leaving space for the two to be alone.

She looked at Wang Chu who was eating, although she couldn't understand the animal's expression, but she could feel that the other party had always been mindful of it, so she was reluctant to go back to the room.

"Are you still angry? Cam. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sauce from his feathers.

If you want to be angry, in fact, Wang Chu is really not too angry, if he had been more decisive at the moment of life and death, he could survive it was his own fate, and he also found a way to open the form of the fire eagle.

It's just that every time I think back to the feeling of being steamed in lava, I feel as if I have been betrayed.

It's always the hurdle in my heart that I can't pass.

"I promise you that no matter what happens in the future, I will not leave you alone. Lias sat on her knees and reached for her head.

Wang Chu stopped the food in his mouth and looked at the other party.

A smile appeared on the beautiful face, and the eyes were red, every time he saw this kind of look, Wang Chu said to himself that what the other party said was sincere.

Lias wasn't a good liar, and she would do the same.

..............................

At night, Wang Chu stayed alone on the platform on the roof of the house, without the disturbance of Lias, it seemed that he had been entering the jade dream for a longer time in the past few days, and when he opened his eyes, he entered the endless green jungle again.

Boom, rolling thunder, will it rain here Wang Chu has not seen it, but the change in the weather is similar to that in the real world.

A red cloud of fire on the horizon was very familiar.

It reminded Wang Chu of the huge Fire Demon King.
