Chapter 11: The Autumn of Elantz

The Kingdom of Elantz, adjacent to the capital of the Marquis of Yellow Heaven.

This is one of the most inland areas in the entire kingdom of Elantz, and because of the gentle terrain, more than one river converges here, and then forms a sizable swamp.

Compared to the Swamp southeast of the Western Continent, the swamp named after the explorer Roosevelt was the first to complete a detailed map is much smaller, but much more troublesome. After all, no one would consider cultivating the Everglades, and Roosevelt Swamp was surrounded by farmsteads.

In late September, the weather is getting cooler, and the farmers are busy in the fields - it is now the most critical time before the harvest, and every drop of sweat shed at this time is related to the harvest after ten days and half a month.

At this time of year, the farmers are most afraid of rain. Because rain will hinder the final growth of crops, and this last stage of growth is directly related to whether the ears are firm and whether the rice grains are full enough. So there is a proverb: every drop of rain in late September is a farmer's tears.

However, the weather in the Kingdom of Elantz during this time was very good, and the sun was shining every day. Although there are some dark clouds in the sky from time to time, they will soon disperse and there is no intention of gathering and raining at all.

In the face of such weather, the farmers all admired the good years, praised the wind and rain, and praised God's blessing.

There are also some powerful and eye-catching people who can't help but smile when they hear this.

They looked up at the sky, and at a height that was completely impossible for ordinary people to see, there was a very strange-looking thing flying around. It keeps dispelling the approaching dark clouds and keeping the sky clear.

When Liu Daoqing returned to the ground, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. He was busy in the sun for most of the day, and he was tired enough to choke and pant for breath. The servants who had been waiting for a long time immediately gathered around him and wiped his body with cold water to help him cool down.

Her Majesty did not sympathize with him at all, but smiled playfully and said, "Qing, you are the most industrious farmer I have ever met. You alone can handle the work of thousands, if not tens of thousands...... I think you might be able to dispel the rain clouds from Molai's side. ”

Liu Daoqing shook his head again and again: "What...... That's it...... Places, all ...... Exhausted...... I'm so tired!"

Caterina came over with a smile and handed him a glass of sugar water mixed with drugs that can restore his strength: "I know that I am about to die of exhaustion, why are you still doing so much? You don't have to worry about agriculture, the farmers will figure it out themselves." ”

Liu Daoqing tilted his neck and drank a large glass of sugar water directly to the bottom of the cup, which was still a little bit left, and then he recovered some of his spirits, and explained: "If I am tired now, the farmers will be able to harvest a little more." The more they harvest, the more stable their lives will be - the farmer is the foundation of the country, and when their lives are stable, the Kingdom of Ellanz will be stable!"

Caterina stopped laughing, she sighed softly, "Qing, are you and your friends such people?"

"What?"

"Some time ago, Otto and Pied visited the two counties of Dracula and Tara Khan, respectively. They said they met the most industrious and capable lords and officials in the world. Count Dracula is busy all day long, almost never resting, if he is not the legendary vampire dragon, he is afraid that he will die of exhaustion. Minister Eric always uses magic to travel throughout the territory, always appearing where he is needed, and constantly carrying out the Count's orders in a timely manner. ”

Katerina looked at Liu Daoqing with some concern: "You are the same, although you are usually lazy, but when the farmers need you to rain or disperse the rain clouds, you will set off as soon as possible, and you will be busy all day and night, and you will be tired half to death every day...... Are you strangers such hard-working people?"

Liu Daoqing was stunned for a moment, wanting to explain, but felt that there seemed to be nothing to explain.

Caterina was right, there was a large group of worrisome people among the traversers. It is difficult for them, who have come here from a peaceful and stable world, to turn a blind eye to the suffering in front of them. Although they have different ideas and practices, most of them are willing to stand up and contribute when people need it.

...... Of course, it is too much to be like Rock Dracula, and in any case, it is not possible to work from morning to night - well, it can also be from morning to night when necessary, but it must not be added to the night shift, twenty-four hours a day, this is no longer a matter of industriousness, but a perversion!

Liu Daoqing often feels that Locke's psychological state is not very normal. Although he also understands that the conditions of Dracula's collar are bad, and he also understands that a large number of people are needed over there, and no matter how hard he works, he can't just turn around day and night, and rely on suicide to refresh his state when he is tired!

Dude, are you supposed to be a few people practicing one number together?

As for Eric, the chief minister of the Earldom of Tara Khan, isn't that just a few people sharing the same number! The real Eric (Sleepless) has actually been absent since he was sealed. In order to fill his gaps, during this time, five or six traversers have been using camouflage magic to transform into his appearance, haunting various parts of the Tara Khan Territory, directing work and carrying out tasks.

In contrast, Liu Daoqing himself is quite decent. He works normally and rests normally, but he is busy these days and needs to work a little overtime.

"After a few busy days, I can rest again. He said.

"And then? I've seen Pied's internal affairs plan, and before the Chinese New Year this year, you're going to help dredge two rivers, level a mountain, and transform about a hundred miles of farmland...... These are not the things that a king of a country should do!, and you should learn from other lords!" Catalina advised, "and these tasks can be left to the people, or hired men. You are a lord, you should be used to directing others to do things, instead of always working in person, busy and tired, sweating profusely!"

Liu Daoqing smiled and patted the back of her hand gently: "This is our country, if we don't work hard for it, then who can be expected to work hard enough? Don't worry, I'm very powerful, this little thing, it won't bother me!"

Looking at his tired but confident appearance, Caterina shook her head a few times, but finally didn't say anything and hugged him tightly.

"Don't push yourself too hard. She whispered, "I know you don't like these things." ”

"Since it's something I have to do, it doesn't matter if I like it or not. Liu Daoqing also replied in a low voice, "The sooner you finish these tasks and let the country's affairs be completely on track, you can concentrate on impacting the legendary realm as soon as possible." To help you, I don't feel reluctant!"

They didn't say anything more, and they didn't need to say anything more.
