Chapter 598: Asking for Rain

Now, as the snow melts, the wheat seedlings in the fields are beginning to appear.

If nothing else, there will be a bumper harvest in the new city in May and June this year.

Nowadays, the total number of fields in the vicinity is not large, so the harvest should only rely on manual labor.

However, as the new city gradually takes shape, it is said that the work of expanding the number of acres of land is also on the agenda.

As far as Jiang Ming is concerned, he was also approached a few days ago and said that the Binhai City official needs a lot of Tulong Festival to help reclaim the fields after a while, and hopes that Zhengming Company can prepare as soon as possible.

And this work Jiang Ming has already arranged, and now just wait for the official notice, Olisa will immediately start working to cultivate a group of Tulong younger brothers.

In fact, according to the original plan of Binhai City, they did not plan to use all the soil dragons to reclaim new land, but thought about temporarily manufacturing or importing a batch of agricultural machinery.

After all, although the human side already has a complete soilless cultivation technology, the original technologies are not directly gone, and the information can still be found.

But in the end, after considering all the costs, as well as the idea of taking advantage of the escape of the strange beasts around Binhai City, and seizing these territories, Jiang Ming got the order.

"Boy... Boy..."

Jiang Ming was thinking about things, but the cry of the lotus leaf boy came from his ears again.

When he looked closely, he found that he had already walked to the edge of the field, and a large group of grass elves were surrounding it, including the Lotus Leaf Boy's family.

And in the middle of these elves, several Lotte kappa are dancing in an incomprehensible way with magical steps.

In addition, the Lotte Kappa is surrounded by seven or eight spirits in their final form with good strength.

"Is this asking for rain?"

Because of the effect of Chang Pan's power, Jiang Ming could easily read the purpose of their gathering from the emotions of the elves around him.

It was only after this that Jiang Ming finally realized that although their dances were indeed magical at first glance, they had a faint unique charm.

That's something called piety.

Water is the source of life, and no matter what kind of creature it is, "rain", which is given by God, represents a certain kind of faith and worship.

Even for the elves who have mastered the ability to actively rain rain.

After figuring out the reason for the matter, Jiang Ming's demeanor couldn't help but become solemn.

Also, I don't know if it was the battle between several eighth-order powerhouses that affected the climate around Marina City, or the heavy rain that gathered the power of many elves at the end of the last battle drained the water vapor in this vicinity, anyway, the weather in Marina City has been clear for more than a month, and at most it is only occasionally cloudy.

However, because this time is still the early spring season when the temperature is not high, this unusually sunny weather did not attract much attention, but also received countless praises.

No way, since the establishment of Marina City, it has never really grown food on the land, and has always relied on soilless cultivation technology to maintain its own food supply, which makes it difficult for people living here to realize the possible impact of the weather on food production.

Even including Jiang Ming.

It was only at this time that Jiang Ming reluctantly realized that for such a large area that was only twenty to forty kilometers away from the sea, such a long sunny day was indeed a bit abnormal.

……

As the saying goes, spring rain is as expensive as oil, and now is an important node for the growth of wheat in the field, and the elves who can feel the condition of the wheat seedlings know that they must ensure sufficient water supply!

But it hasn't rained for a long time, and the elves are about to drain the nearby rivers, so there is today's rain prayer ceremony.

Well, rain rituals to be exact.

As the movements of several Lotte kappa in the venue became more and more cheerful, Jiang Ming also realized that it should be time.

Sure enough, this is it

When the thought flashed through Jiang Ming's mind just now, an inexplicable aura suddenly emanated from the bodies of several Lotte kappa, and then the originally clear sky of this land instantly gathered gray dark clouds, and they became thicker and thicker as time passed.

The Lotte Kappa began to exert its strength, and the elves around who had been waiting for the opportunity for a long time naturally did not watch it, and they all launched a water-blue ball of light into the sky, using the [Asking for Rain] skill.

With plenty of reserves, the sky became darker.

When it reached a certain limit, a thunderbolt rushed and flashed through the thick clouds, and a heavy rain finally began to fall on the land.

Seeing such a majestic rain in the early spring season can only be done with supernatural powers.

Moreover, the elves had obviously considered the negative effects that might be caused by too much rain, so in addition to making drainage ditches around the fields in advance, they scattered among the fields, and the elves of all sizes also began to enjoy this rare rain.

Especially in a group of water system elves about three or four hundred meters away from Jiang Ming, they are all working together to divert more rain into the small river where they live.

[In view of the general environment,

At the same time, in a place that Jiang Ming couldn't see, another group of water elves did the same, and then got the water from the previous wave of elves to their own territory.

In this way, the wheat seedlings in the field naturally avoid the possibility of being waterlogged.

"Chani."

As early as when the rain fell, Demon Spirit Coral had already come out of the Poke Ball, and then used its spiritual power to create a space for Jiang Ming that was completely isolated from the rain.

"Thank you, Demon Coral." Looking at the Demon Spirit Coral on the side, who was enjoying the rain washing over his body, Jiang Ming smiled and thanked him.

The rain was still falling, but as the power infused by the elves gradually wore off, the rain that could have been considered a heavy rain began to slowly become smaller.

Although the amplitude is not large, Jiang Ming can still clearly perceive it.

"Huckron, you can help too." Jiang Ming opened a Poké Ball and released Hack Kong, who was napping.

"Miu?" (It's raining?) )

A little cold rain hit the smooth scales of the hackron, and the little one came to his senses in an instant.

"Mio!" (Oh, it's finally raining!) )

Hackron cheered, then flicked his tail and flew higher, enjoying the coolness of the rain falling on his body.

"Hackron, don't rush to play yet, you can also contribute!" Jiang Ming, who was standing below, put his hands to his mouth in the shape of trumpets and shouted at the Haklong in the air.

"Mio." (Okay.) )

Hearing this, Hackron nodded slightly, and then whispered softly to the dark clouds in the sky that were already beginning to show signs of fading.
