"I don't understand, how does the giant Jesse want you to be transparent, let him send someone to see it?" asked Donner. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"If he dares to say that, it means that the three of them do have an alliance......" Cynthia said with a fierceness that didn't match her size.

"Then let's try it? Give me a half-truth, see if he buys it. Downer reminded.

"Hmm...... That's what I thought, too. Cynthia nodded, "Still, we have to prepare for the worst." ”

"What are our chances of winning if we do fight Jesse?" Donner cares not only about the strength of the giant Jesse, but also about the potential of the Far North.

"For now...... The odds are not great," Cynthia said bluntly: "Our battle line is too long, and in addition to the Far North Country and here, we also have to secure the transportation line. However, things should not come to this, after all, the danger to the south is always present. ”

"Can't you balance them with grain, and as far as I know, a portion of the grain you get from Middle-earth will be distributed to them. Donner asked.

"It's hard...... There is actually a symbiotic relationship between us and the Knight Federation, without our magic crystals, they will not get food, if they come to Middle-earth to rob, then there will be endless wars with those magicians in the south, but they occupy our grain transportation lines, so the part of the food we give is just to buy the passage fee. Cynthia said.

"It's hard to imagine what the world would be like without the important link of magic crystal trading...... Donner sighed.

"If your guess is correct, if those people in the Magic Continent really want to retreat to Middle-earth, then the Knight Federation will be even worse than the current Middle-earth, at least half of them will die. Cynthia sighed.

"Even if the Magic Continent has the heart to blockade Middle-earth, those paladins will always find a way to raid...... It is harder to prevent a thief than to be a thief. Downer thought of the history of the earth, the deeds of the northern nomads fighting the autumn winds. However, as soon as he spoke, he immediately knew that this speculation was not true.

Sure enough, Cynthia smiled bitterly: "Do you know how many Beiluo cities there are in this world? If there is really no magic crystal, I'm afraid it won't be long before these Beiluo cities will be completely destroyed...... Even a paladin can't climb up from less than seventy kilometers. ”

She shook her head, curled the corners of her mouth, and smiled as if disdainful, "You don't know yet, do you?" Although it is also called a Holy Order power, the Paladin has more wins and fewer losses when he encounters a legendary mage in Middle-earth, otherwise Reinhardt would not have died. ”

"Really?" Donner's brow furrowed slightly, but a flash of joy flashed through his heart - Cynthia didn't know that he could unleash the full force of a legendary mage, and there was no need to lie to him about it.

Cynthia stared straight at the crop that was about to be harvested, she was only not much taller than the ripe wheat, but her eyes seemed to be looking far away. Donner really wanted to crouch down and try to see if she could really see that far.

Of course, he didn't do this, but sighed softly, and said, "Actually, Middle-earth is so big that it is enough to feed all the people in this world, why rob you of life and death......" He said this, seemingly lamenting the world, but in fact he was admonishing Cynthia - although he was not sure what Cynthia was thinking.

"Maybe they'll realize this when you prove it on this land. Cynthia still looked at the wheat field, as if there was some special magic there.

"I will. Donner nodded, "It won't be long before you see results." ”

......

As if Heaven was intent on satirizing Donner, on the fourth day of his departure Cynthia, he began to demonstrate how to design the first wind-up locomotive from scratch in a class at the College of Engineering, when Wesley called him out.

Another piece of bad news.

Two major rivers in Santan province, including the Boer River, have entered a dry season ahead of schedule, and unlike previous years, the water level has dropped particularly sharply this year.

Wesley got the news from Merkel that while an early start to the dry season would not affect the upcoming autumn harvest, if it was a problem with the territory's water resources, it would not be just agriculture that would be affected.

Donner's fears soon became a reality, and a few days later, Natia confirmed it from the middle of the fog city, where the hydraulic machine tools at the fog city factory were running out of power. On the same day, he used the magic array of the villa in the stone to contact Merkel and asked him to investigate the cause of the water conservancy anomaly.

On October 26, the autumn harvest officially began in the three northern provinces – and the date of the autumn harvest became later and later as the five-year month of bad luck drew closer – and Mr. Merkel finally sent Downer the results of the survey.

Between the province of Santan and Cohenas, several nobles dug aqueducts in their domains to divert water to the Ava River - a project that had been underway for half a year and had only recently been completed, nominally to learn from the experience of the province of Santan, to divert water for irrigation and to expand the area of arable land.

Without being reminded by Donner, Merkel herself smelled of conspiracy in this news.

"Donner, do you think they did it on purpose?" his voice came from the other end of the circle, still clear.

"Of course it was on purpose," Donner nodded subconsciously, in fact Merkel couldn't see his movements at all, "the question now is, who gave them so much courage." ”

"What do you mean...... His Majesty the Emperor is behind the instructions?" Merkel's voice was astonished.

Donner was not prepared to embarrass Merkel, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will deal with it, the water conservancy project after the autumn harvest this year will be carried out as usual, by the way, you contact Grande in Falling Rock City, he should have a lot of workers vacated there recently, no matter how many, you will take all the orders." ”

"After the construction of the Misty Town Grain Exchange, I have already accepted 3,000 laborers from Grandet, and now he has a surplus of laborers?" Merkel wondered.

"Yes, you just have to ask him for people, I estimate that we can send out 5,000 laborers one after another, plus the last 3,000 people, a total of 8,000 laborers, and our water conservancy projects will not have to be carried out during the winter slack season. "Donner didn't say anything about the elevator, and Merkel didn't need to know that.

"Okay......" Merkel's voice was not particularly excited, he seemed to be still worried about the previous topic, and sure enough, after a little silence, he admonished: "Donald, if it really means His Majesty the Emperor, don't be too impulsive." ”

"I know, don't worry. Donner frowned. (To be continued.) )
