Chapter 275 Body Type Switching Issues As expected of Nana!
Shu Xin was completely exasperated. The magical environment had clearly improved, so why did this drought have to come? It's like "mountains and rivers blocking the way, seemingly no path ahead," followed by "viewed from one angle, a ridge; viewed from the other, a peak," right?!
Shuxin decided to plant more green cassava, as green cassava is the most drought-resistant of all crops. After accepting the fact, she immediately made the decision.
Having already suffered a severe drought, officials in both the Land of Sin and Bobomo City had gained some experience in dealing with droughts. They eventually discussed measures such as planting green cassava with all their might, trying to create an artificial sky-sea, and searching for underground lakes. If necessary, transporting ice and snow from the Twin Moon Snowfield was also an option.
The next thing to do is to stockpile food. If another severe drought were to occur, crops in other territories would definitely suffer a significant reduction in yield. The more food we store now, the more relief food we can provide when the time comes.
Shu Xin also proposed the idea of artificially raining by moving the Sky Sea within the territory of Ganar. The elves and demons discussed it, with some thinking it was feasible and others thinking it was inefficient. The latter believed that in cases of excessively high temperatures, there was a high probability that some of the rainwater falling from the sky to the ground would evaporate.
However, after repeated discussions, everyone reached a consensus that even if artificial rainmaking is not as efficient as directly transporting clean water, the rainwater that falls to the ground will not disappear after evaporation, but will exist in the air in the form of water vapor. This can also improve air humidity and thus effectively alleviate the drought.
Another issue is the river sprite's size switching—
After transforming from a flower fairy to an elf, the increased size leads to a greater consumption of magic power in daily activities. Consequently, elves naturally eat much more than when they were flower fairies. If it weren't for the threat of drought, the food reserves in Popomore City would be enough for the elves to eat ten meals a day and be well-fed every time. However, considering the impending widespread drought, it would be more economical to maintain their flower fairy form.
Faced with the drought, in order to save more of their kind, Shu Xin didn't even need to ask; she knew that the river elves would voluntarily maintain their flower fairy forms to carry out their daily lives and work. The officials didn't even bring this up in public because they didn't consider it a problem at all.
But Shu Xin still felt a little discouraged. She had promised the flower fairies that they could freely become elves, but when the drought came, they had to turn back into flower fairies. It was a slap in the face!
So why did it suddenly become droughty? Shu Xin almost wanted to look up to the sky and sigh!
"Something might have happened in the Demon Realm..." Xi said somewhat guiltily to the Flower Fairy, who was full of worries, after the meeting.
Xi speculated that something had happened in the Demon Realm, just like the large-scale war that broke out in the Demon Realm before, which also caused widespread chaos in the material plane. He suspected that the water dragon lineage in the Demon Realm had suffered serious casualties, which was projected onto the material plane as an extremely unusual drought.
Shu Xin had been so busy with matters in Bobomo City that she had completely forgotten about this. Realizing something, she asked somewhat numbly, "Is the Demon Realm still at war?"
The blond-haired demon boy looked away somewhat awkwardly: "...Yes, the demon realm is still at war."
"Is the fighting still going on outside? I mean, in the material plane." Shu Xin said, rubbing her face vigorously to try and stay alert. "You haven't been idle lately either, so you probably don't know either. I'll go ask the Tree of Life, hmm—"
Shu Xin's eyes lit up: "As expected of Nana Jia! Well done!"
After Shu Xin went to Bobomo City, Nana Jia, who was appointed as the governor, took over the management of the Land of Sin.
The Magic Tree caravan sent by the Land of Sin ostensibly left the Kingdom of Ganar to conduct business, but in reality, it was specifically to gather intelligence on the human race. As the governor, Nanaja was naturally able to obtain the latest intelligence sent back to the Land of Sin immediately.
While Shu Xin was still in the Land of Sin, she received news that the human race was preparing to provide supplies for the mercenaries attacking the forest dwarves. She hesitated at the time about whether to intercept this batch of supposedly very high-quality supplies, and thought she would wait until Xi returned from the Demon Realm to discuss it with him before making a decision.
As a result, Xi brought back more than 8,000 mixed-blood demons in one go! After that, Shu Xin accidentally realized that Ganar harbored malice towards the whole world, and she completely forgot about this matter. Mainly because she did not receive any more information afterward. In fact, this batch of supplies could not be sent out until she left the Land of Sin for Bobomo City.
It turns out that the human race has been embroiled in internal strife. Despite not having even conquered the Emerald Forest yet, they are already confidently fighting over how to divide the Garnar Plains.
Shu Xin had already figured out the symbiotic relationship between the round fruit tree and the round fruit dragonfly, while the human race was still scheming and playing games of interest. It wasn't until the flower fairies of Bobomo City were eating watercress salad and drinking watercress juice that the human race finally reached a consensus and began to prepare supplies.
When Nanaja received the intelligence, the magical puppets that the human race was responsible for transporting supplies had not yet been completed.
The elves and demons of the Land of Sin held several meetings. Officials led by Pengpengan believed that seizing the supplies was more worthwhile, while officials led by Nonori thought that direct destruction was more appropriate. As for Nanaja, she chose to stand in the middle—
Influenced by the projection of the Demon Realm, a small war between the white dwarves and wind sprites is rapidly escalating into a continent-wide super war, now even drawing in some dragons and orcs. It seems imminent that the dragons and orcs will be dragged off the battlefield...
In response, Nana chose to return to her original intentions. The initial war broke out between the white dwarves and the wind sprites. Afterwards, some humans sided with the white dwarves, while others sided with the wind sprites. The human forces that entered the Emerald Forest and attacked the forest dwarves were clearly on the side of the wind sprites, since the forest dwarves are still dwarves! So, wouldn't it be better to sell the intelligence information from this batch of supplies to the human forces that sided with the dwarves, and let the humans fight against the humans?
When humans fight each other, the Sinful Lands can send demons in disguise to steal some supplies and equipment, or they can keep some backup plans and destroy all the remaining supplies when the humans are not paying attention. Isn't that the best of both worlds?
Both the robbery party and the destruction party in the land of sin agreed with the best-case scenario proposed by Governor Nanaja.
Thus, before this batch of excellent supplies, finally sent by the Bretzman Empire, even entered the Emerald Forest, an accident occurred halfway there. After the ensuing chaos, not only were the supplies lost or destroyed, but even the soldiers escorting the supplies were not spared.
Shu Xin had only one thought: it would be ruthless enough if it were the humans who made the move!
