Chapter 168

In the entire main plane continent, there is only one country that has not been plagued by drought, and that is the Northwest Republic.

The Northwest Republic is located at the northwestern tip of the continent, and the weather is already cold. Because of the cold, there is a lot of snow and ice here, and there are abundant underground water resources.

Not only that, the land is not rich, there are not many plants or animals, agriculture is not developed, and the water consumption is not high. Several of the major water-using projects are industrial, and as long as they are suspended, there is no need to worry about water shortage.

Moreover, the population of the Northwest Republic is not large, and its own demand is not large, so even in this year of great drought, the Northwest Republic still maintains a relatively stable water supply. There are even tourists who come to the Northwest Republic to travel in order to enjoy the unlimited supply of water.

Sui Xiong didn't care much about the Northwest Republic during this time, anyway, there was no shortage of water here. But just as he was busy, he got some unexpected news.

The northernmost city of the Gold Federation, Two-Headed Stork, has decided to secede from the Gold Federation and become part of the Northwest Republic.

"Alas, why is that?" After getting the news, Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment before asking.

"For the sake of water. Archon Ferex, who was in charge of the report, sighed and said, "They have been suffering from a lack of water, and they are very greedy to find that there is an abundant supply of water on the side of Rye City. Finally, after several discussions, this decision was made. ”

"Just for the sake of water, they don't even care about the country?" Sui Xiong was shocked, "What about their discipline! Don't those leaders who decide the city's major policies have a little shame!"

"Discipline or something, only for the living is meaningful. Ferex shook his head, "What's more...... Seeing that my wife and children are so thirsty that my lips are chapped that in this case, which side will shame stand on? ”

Sui Xiong was silent, and after a while, he sighed and asked, "Did you agree?"

"We haven't said no yet. Ferex replied, "It's up to you to decide." ”

"That is...... Good guys, bad guys, all in all, I need to make the decision, right?"

You can understand that this kind of thing is really not something we can decide. ”

Sui Xiong thought about it and asked her to wait, and he went to find the goddess of wealth and talked about it.

The goddess of fortune did not mean to be angry, she was silent for a long time, and finally sighed softly and said, "That's fine, at least they don't have to endure thirst." ”

"I always felt that it wasn't quite right. ”

"Perhaps, but there's no better way to do it now. The goddess of wealth smiled bitterly and said, "If you really don't think it's appropriate, just refuse it." ”

This time it was Sui Xiong's turn to be silent.

Refusal? He felt a little speechless.

He asked himself if he wasn't that kind of moral model, but he couldn't do that kind of thing to watch others die of thirst.

He had asked if the Northwest Republic could support some water resources for the Gold Federation. However, after analysis and discussion, it was finally determined that the Northwest Republic does not actually have the ability to send support to others at presentβ€”not that they are very short of water, but that they are too far away.

Distance determines the cost of transportation, and even a cup of tea can be sold for silver over a distance of thousands of miles. The Northwest Republic is located on the border, far from the civilized world, and even if they wanted to support others, the distance allowed them to afford a negligible amount of transportation.

In fact, even if Two-Headed Stork City joined the Northwest Republic, they would not be able to share much water resources. Whether it can meet the needs of agriculture is a question mark.

But the people of Two-Headed Stork City have no choice, or rather, they have reached the point where they are about to drown, and they have to desperately hold on to a straw when they see it.

For such people, even the only supply of drinking water can already save lives.

Can help!

Sui Xiong sent a doppelganger and walked around the city, and then he fell silent.

The severity of the drought shocked him.

It also made him sure once again that he really couldn't say anything to refuse.

So the matter was settled, and a few days later, the mage regiment of the Northwest Republic rushed to Two-Headed Stork City with a large number of water storage props, and filled the water tanks of the pools that had been prepared one by one.

And the soldiers of Two-Headed Stork City are desperately trying to maintain order so that people don't fight over water.

After satisfying the drinking water, the mages of the Northwest Republic went to the fields to rehydrate the crops in as economical a way as possible.

The work was much harder than before, and they were busy, like carrier pigeons, constantly going back and forth in the rye canyon, each time bringing water to life, but always feeling like a drop in the bucket.

"Damn!" Eventually, Sui Xiong couldn't stand it anymore, he screamed angrily and found Wei Ye, "Do you know where the divine kingdom of the god of drought is?"

Viye was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"I'm going to take hold of Him and force Him to end the drought!"

"What if he refuses?"

"Then I'll kill him!" Sui Xiong said viciously.

"It's useless. Viye shook his head, "If killing him could end the drought, the God of Justice would have intervened a long time ago, so why wait until now!"

"Useless?"

"Yes, rainfall and drought are natural phenomena. The god of drought can make a vow to bring about a human drought. But if he wanted to stop the drought, he couldn't, and he could only make the god of rain make a vow to do the same. This is not a problem that violence can solve. ”

"Can't you kill him?" Sui Xiong didn't believe it, "I admit that violence can't solve the problem, but violence can solve the guys who bring problems!"

"Even if he is killed, the drought will not end. "The problem has been formed, in fact, the god of drought himself is now panicking, and he is trying to shrink the scale of the drought." ”

"What?!" Sui Xiong was shocked, "It's all drought like this, or are you trying to shrink the scale of the drought?"

"Haven't you noticed that Jorgardman has been talking very little these days? He has now come to the kingdom of the god of drought, and is sharpening his axe next to the god of drought. The god of drought is about to cry, okay......"

Only then did Sui Xiong understand that his eldest brother had already taken action.

However, the effect is not significant.

"So, what would happen if the god of drought was hacked to death now?" he asked, still unrelenting.

Viye thought about it, shook his head, sighed and said, "Probably...... This drought will really grow out of control......"

Sui Xiong was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but curse a dirty word.
