Chapter 170: How to Fight Natural Disasters (I)

For the arrival of the panda, the Gray Giant Palm tribe expressed a strong welcome and high respect.

When the pandas explained their intentions and told them that they had come to convince the bears to unite against the Great White Plague, they were even more ecstatic.

Then, they said that they would send an emissary to help contact the bears tribes, and that His Excellency the Dragon Slayer would just wait here in peace.

Panda has no objection - there are many bear tribes, and the coordinates of most of them are not even known to Ivilne. Relying on him alone to go door-to-door persuasion is very inefficient. On the contrary, according to the Gray Giant Palm Tribe, the efficiency can be improved a lot.

After dinner, he lay on a hay bed covered with monster skins and opened the chat channel.

In the chat channel, "fighting the Great White Plague" has become the most important theme.

With the exception of a few traversers with an indifferent personality, most of them are interested in this matter. Pandas and the like want to save people, and Long Biao and the like are for the rewards of this "world-class mission", as for biologist Mahala, necromancer Lao K and the like, they just think it's cool and handsome, and they just want to do a big job.

Perhaps for the group of people who "recklessly walk through the earth", this last point is not necessarily more attractive.

Now, Liu Daoqing is speaking.

"I think we can hold a large-scale prayer ceremony to calm the cold and heat of the world. If it doesn't stop the White Plague from coming, it will at least prevent it from getting cold and warming for a while - in fact, if it's just cold all the time, it's not a big problem, is it?"

The panda looked at this passage and nodded slightly.

As Liu Daoqing said, the most terrible thing about the Great White Disaster is not the cold, but the alternation of cold and warm, which makes the snow freeze and form an ice shell, so that the animals cannot eat grass. And the alternation of cold and warm also makes people sick. If it can be cold all the time, the danger can be greatly reduced.

But Liu Daoqing's statement was refuted by Anthony, who said: "You only talked about the benefits of the prayer ceremony, but you didn't talk about its expenses." To hold a ceremony that is enough to affect the climate of the entire northern part of the Western Continent for half a year, the cost must be staggering. Are we going to have to pay for this money out of our own pockets?"

"Pay out of your own pocket, why not? This ritual can get a lot of experience points, so you should exchange money for experience points. Liu Daoqing said nonchalantly.

"It's not proper! It's not proper!" The Prime Minister of the Sea Dragon Kingdom - oh, the prime minister who should be called the "Sea Dragon - Seagull United Kingdom" immediately objected, "The amount of various materials in the world, especially gold coins, is limited, and if you consume too much, it will lead to a shortage of currency and cause great economic problems!"

"Not enough gold?" Panda was stunned for a moment, then understood what Lana meant.

In the game, the amount of gold is unlimited, and in the later stages, players conservatively estimate that they have millions of gold coins on hand, but any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem for them, so that most of the transactions between players are bartered - no one is rare gold coins.

However, this world is no longer a game, but a reality.

Those ordinary gold, silver and copper coins are not programmed to burst out of monsters, or from tasks that can be refreshed indefinitely, but must be mined by miners, then refined, and finally minted to become "hard currency".

And in the magic ceremony, these gold, silver and copper coins - well, copper coins are not used, basically all they consume are gold and silver coins, and the amount consumed is still very amazing, and it is not unusual for a large-scale ritual to consume tens of thousands of gold coins.

Not only that, but as the size and level of the magic ritual increases, the cost skyrockets. The panda used his magic knowledge to retrieve it, and was immediately startled by the consumption of the ritual that Liu Daoqing had envisioned.

It wasn't just him who was taken aback, in the chat channel, many people were exclaiming, "I'm!", "A lot of money!", "Fish pot, I'm afraid this is really not good......" and so on.

Even the chairman Sanyu was shocked, he said: "Liu Daoqing, it's not that I'm stingy, but our family has so much, and one ceremony is all smashed out, what if we have to use money in two years?"

"Yes, your ritual is obviously not cost-effective, and the waste is too serious! If it weren't for the fact that there are too few legendary powerhouses in the world, and there are so many gold coins, we can all hire a large number of legendary powerhouses to jointly cast spells - not only is it much more economical than yours, but it can also accumulate favors!"

was criticized by everyone like this, Liu Daoqing was not annoyed, but he touched his nose and did not mention it again.

After the chat, he said to his wife, "Sure enough, the plan to hold a prayer ceremony was rejected. ”

"If I do, I have to veto, to use your old words, the input and the output are completely disproportionate. Queen Caterina smiled, "The Great White Plague is indeed tragic, but you are definitely not the only one who can use it. Since it is not a helpless situation, of course, everyone will give preference to the means that cost less. ”

Liu Daoqing nodded, but sighed again.

"I was thinking that after the great altar was built, there would definitely be a ceremony to consecrate the heavens. But...... I haven't presided over that kind of large-scale ceremony until now, and I want to take the opportunity to save some experience. But I didn't expect it to be so difficult to accumulate a little experience......"

"The cost of your experience is too great, so forget it. Caterina shook her head, "Actually, it doesn't matter if the Great Altar is not opened, anyway, according to you, the 'God of the Yellow Sky' is the god of the Eastern Earth Continent, and he can't have the ability to influence our side." There's no need to waste it. ”

"If you can consecrate the great altar, you can link faith with national fortunes, and artificially create a spell casting system of 'Yellow Sky Faith'. This is tantamount to creating a group of absolutely loyal and reliable clergy for Elantz, which is a good thing for the present and the future!"

Katerina shook her head more and more: "Husband, you are really wrong! Although the priests are idealists, they are not stupid! If you do this, I am afraid that the Elantz Kingdom will not have to think about any 'thousand autumns', and it will be 'immortal' directly, okay......"

As a loyal member of the Reckless Crossing the Earth Board Game, Caterina participates in at least five or six running groups every year, and over the years, she has also learned a lot of Earth-style words. Words like "immortal" come easily.

And the way she thinks about the problem is gradually being influenced by the time-travelers - for example, some time ago, she issued a decree that if there are nobles in the Kingdom of Elantz who have no sons, and can only inherit the title and territory by their daughters, the state will come forward to protect their territories and inheritance rights, and strictly put an end to the practice of seizing territories by means such as marriage.

This decree obviously did not conform to the "rules" of the aristocratic system of the Western Continent, but was learned from the traversers. But when she issued this decree, it was strongly supported by a large number of small and medium-sized nobles.

No one dares to guarantee the birth of children. The seizure of titles and domains through marriage is commonplace, and it happens more than once a year almost every year. The king was able to order the protection of his daughter's inheritance rights and crack down on the practice of "marrying and swallowing land", and it was too late for them to welcome it!
