Chapter 276 Drought Strikes Again, Take Bigger Steps

Nanaja's move exposed the underhanded tactics of the Bretzman Empire and the forces behind it. Given the current chaotic situation on the Lefra Continent, they will likely have to spend a considerable amount of time before they can spare the resources to continue dealing with the forest dwarves.

During this period, the Land of Sin will continuously provide the forest dwarves with supplies and equipment, ensuring that every forest dwarf is armed from head to toe.

As long as the forest dwarves can withstand the human attacks, the Kingdom of Garnar can be spared the ravages of war.

It has to be said that this made Shu Xin feel a little better. If they had to fight off foreign enemies while facing a severe drought, it would truly be a hellish situation with both internal and external troubles!

The rainy season arrived quickly, but it never rained in Bobomo City. Not only Bobomo City, but the Land of Sin also remained dry. Shu Xin checked with the Tree of Life and found that only a very few areas in the entire Garnar Plain had received rainfall. This meant that the agricultural official Mimifei's prediction had come true, and the great drought had struck again.

All the fields in Popomore City were planted with cassava, but unfortunately there was no underground lake beneath Popomore City, which meant there was no stable source of drinking water.

However, under Bretzman's guidance, a rather vast sky sea appeared above Bobomo City. After helping to create the sky sea, Xi told Shuxin that he was going to the Demon Realm to see what it was all about.

Shu Xin was a little worried: "Are you going back by yourself? You brought Blue Horn with you last time, and who knows what big thing has happened in the Demon Realm this time..."

"Don't worry, my dear, I'll definitely come back alive," the black-haired demon, whose black eyes had regained their golden pupils, said with a smile. "I'm going to help you become the Demon King, you know."

He leaned in and kissed the flower fairy's cheek, then the black-haired demon tore open a spatial passage, turned and stepped inside. Like a shadow, he quietly disappeared onto the sun-drenched small terrace of the Round Fruit House.

Shu Xin just wanted to drag Xi back and give him a couple of punches. What he said was just too ominous!

Remembering the magical contract she had made with Xi, Shu Xin felt a little more at ease. She thought that when she had the chance in the future, she would go to the Demon Realm with Xi to see the place where Xi was born and grew up. She could feel that Xi harbored a strong hatred for the Demon Realm, but if there was no love, where would the hatred come from?

Thinking of Garnar's hatred for the material world, Shu Xin couldn't help but sigh.

As temperatures gradually rise, the air becomes increasingly dry, and the water level of the Garnar River outside Bobomo City drops further and further, exposing the riverbed in some places.

In order to conserve more food and water, the elven officials also switched into flower fairy forms like the commoners, while the demon officials began to refuse to eat.

In front of the flower fairies, the dark moon elves confidently declared that they wouldn't starve even if they went hungry for years, which made Shu Xin feel both heartbroken and angry.

Shu Xin slammed her hand on the table: "You guys won't starve to death, huh? Well, I won't starve to death either, so let's all starve together!"

The demons were terrified. If Xi returned and found out that the Flower Fairy was starving because of their lack of food, they would definitely be in big trouble!

Eventually, the demons relented and resumed their normal meals, but maintained the same amount of food as the flower fairies. Shu Xin followed suit, but with the size of an elf and a demon, such a tiny bit of food was barely enough to fill a tooth gap. So she went to the Tree of Life, and with its help, she and the demons shrunk to the size of fairies.

At this moment, Shu Xin was very grateful that this was a magical world. If it weren't for the various magical methods and the most powerful magical cheat, the Tree of Life, the current situation would probably be even more dire.

In fact, if it weren't for the teleportation magic circle, Popomo City would definitely not have been able to receive the relief supplies provided by the Land of Sin in such a timely manner.

Shu Xin has recently been researching how to draw a teleportation array with the entire Ganar Plain as the casting range, just like the teleportation stations scattered throughout the Land of Sin. If every flower fairy settlement on the Ganar Plain could be connected to each other, the disaster relief efficiency would definitely be maximized!

The existence of the Tree of Life makes this research highly feasible.

To safely and accurately complete spatial teleportation, one needs not only a sufficient supply of magic power but also precise spatial coordinates. At the same time, the caster also needs to have a sufficiently detailed spatial positioning ability. The Tree of Life can output enough magic power and provide precise spatial coordinates, while the River Elves are born with keen spatial positioning abilities. This plan, which sounds very far-fetched, is actually not as difficult or complicated as imagined when it is implemented.

The most wonderful thing is that in every flower fairy settlement, no matter how big the city or how small the village, there is a Tree of Life growing there!

By using the Tree of Life as a teleportation point, a teleportation network can be built that can completely cover all the flower fairy settlements in the entire Ganar Plain.

After Shu Xin mentioned this teleportation network plan to the Tree of Life, the Tree of Life provided a corresponding execution plan, explaining clearly what to do in the first step and what to do in the second step.

Sitting at her desk, flipping through the well-organized proposal, Shu Xin pondered for a long time. With the Tree of Life, a truly divine cheat, could she take bigger and bigger steps?

This drought, for example, could actually be an opportunity—an opportunity to abolish the magic tax in all areas of the Garnar Plains except for the royal city.

The runic chains within all the flower fairies have been removed, and the magical environment of the Garnar Plains is gradually stabilizing. So far, there have only been a few sporadic natural disasters throughout the Garnar Kingdom. If it weren't for the abnormal drought caused by the projection from the Demon Realm, the flower fairies would still be able to have enough to eat this year, even with the harsh magical tax collection.

But the drought has already arrived. According to the data compiled by the Tree of Life, nearly 30,000 flower fairies have died of hunger and thirst as of today. It is unknown how many more flower fairy slaves, undetected by the Tree of Life, will die in this inexplicable drought.

This number is not much compared to the total population of the Kingdom of Garnar, which is over 100 million, but every dead flower fairy was a living being!

Whether it's to curb the spread of the drought at its source or to further save the lives of the flower fairies, Shu Xin needs to deal with King Ganar's great malice towards the world. She thought to herself that she would have to confront the king sooner or later, so why didn't she take the initiative?

Her announcement at the general meeting on the eve of the harvest month in Bobomo City was so brief, yet the flower fairies trusted every word she uttered. Shu Xin had always known that flower fairies held an extremely high and special position among the flower fairies, perhaps intentionally so by the king. Therefore, she had always used this privilege cautiously. But now, she was going to make full use of this power that belonged to the flower fairies.

After reviewing the proposal once more, Shu Xin took a deep breath, stood up, and decided that since she had made the decision, she should go for it!
