Chapter 210 The Patrolman's True Duty I will change all of this
The harvest month, devoid of any sign of a bountiful harvest, ended uneventfully. However, thanks to the combined efforts of Shu Xin and the Tree of Life, all the flower fairies in the entire Kingdom of Ganar have been freed from their rune chains.
The thought that these colorful little creatures could slowly recover to the height and size of normal elves made Shu Xin feel a little better when facing the vast barren fields.
As for the gray bird puppets that were deployed to various places to spread the new fever, Shu Xin considered it for a while and worried that if they were left behind, they would be used by human mages. So she asked the Tree of Life to destroy them on the spot.
As the third harvest month came to a close and the new year was about to begin, Shu Xin received even better news—the drought looked like it was about to end!
Because the amount of water in the air has increased significantly, it's easy to rub water into balls. The temperature is also slowly dropping, which makes Shuxin feel better and better. Spring plowing should be able to proceed normally.
Shu Xin did the math. She had been in this magical world for a full thirty months. Although according to the world's calendar, only a year and a half had passed, in her mind, it felt like two and a half years, a full nine hundred days...
Upon learning that Sissis's wife, Manmanli, had joined the medical team, and that she and Sissis's daughter, Cecily, had also joined the children in making moss syrup, Shuxin asked Qiqike to invite Manmanli to the meeting room of the Flower Castle on her day off.
When the officer called her over, Manmanli had a vague feeling that something was amiss.
She flew into the magnificent flower castle, passed through the beautiful corridors, and was led by elven servants into a palatial hall, where she saw the radiant and divine Flower Fairy.
Meeting the gentle gaze of the Flower Fairy, Manmanli thought she would be so excited that she would cry loudly. During this time, she had always wondered if she had died on the way to the land of evil, or perhaps even earlier, when she had died along with her family and friends in an unprecedented and terrible drought. The beautiful and peaceful life she was living now was actually because she had ascended to the Kingdom of God.
No matter how much she thought about it, the divine kingdom wouldn't have such vast wastelands, nor would it have waves of attacking alien monsters. One after another, wounded warriors appeared before her, and her companions, busy healing them, constantly reminded her that all of this was so real.
Looking up at the Flower Fairy with a concerned expression, Manmanli found herself incredibly calm and at peace. So this was indeed the person who ruled her divine kingdom. She smiled slightly.
"Good afternoon, Your Highness. You should remember Sissis, he was a patrolman, and I am his wife. I think you have some questions you would like to ask me?"
Shu Xin let out a soft breath and nodded: "Yes, thank you for your trouble."
Night fell.
Shu Xin stood by the window, gazing into the distance. The horizon was blurred by the thick fog of darkness. Xi opened her arms and hugged her: "What's wrong, darling? You were in a good mood when I saw you during the day."
She shifted all her weight onto the demon, and gave a forced smile: "It's nothing..."
Faced with Shu Xin's questions, Manmanli answered everything she knew without reservation, thus allowing Shu Xin to learn some previously unknown information about the patrol envoy.
All the patrol officers did indeed come from patrol teams. They were all elite warriors with exceptional magical talent and outstanding combat strength, so their daily duty was also to fight. As for the nationwide tour that Shu Xin knew, it was a vacation for the patrol officers, as they could go home to visit their relatives and friends during the tour.
The battlefield belonging to the patrol envoys is that black mist where phantom monsters emerge during the harvest month.
In fact, the thick fog that separates the Garnar Plains from human territory is constantly giving birth to phantom monsters!
These formidable warriors, selected from the patrol teams, stood guard in the black mist day and night, fighting and battling the ever-emerging phantom beasts without regard to day or night.
The flower fairies believed that the attacks by "outer continent monsters" would only occur during the harvest month because the phantom monsters at other times were all intercepted and killed by the patrolmen. However, the appearance of the magic tide during the harvest month would greatly increase the number and strength of the phantom monsters, which far exceeded the patrolmen's capacity. In addition, with the king's instruction, this ultimately led to the appearance of the "outer continent monsters".
...What exactly is the king doing? What does the king want to do? All the patrolmen have met with the king, and all the patrolmen are willing to obey all the king's orders, even if it costs them their lives, even if they are despised and hated, they still persist and move forward without hesitation.
Shu Xin didn't believe the flower fairies, who were patrolling, were being manipulated. So what reason did the king give that could make so many flower fairies willingly risk their lives for this cause?
She had no way of knowing, and she could not fathom it.
Shu Xin promised Manmanli that no more flower fairies would know about their relationship with Sissis, and that they could live peacefully in the land of sin, just like ordinary flower fairies.
However, thinking of Sissis, who always had a cheerful and carefree look, and then thinking of Kakalin, whom she had only met once, Shu Xin's mood couldn't help but sink. She didn't know how many patrolmen were dying silently in places she couldn't see. What made Shu Xin especially sad was that no matter whether these flower fairies were alive or dead, their relatives and friends dared not mention their names!
"One day, I will change all of this." The flower fairy, with her eyes lowered, suddenly said this out of the blue.
The demon, who resembled a blond boy, laughed and agreed, "That's only natural! I will always be by your side, my dear master~"
Spring has finally arrived. The temperature has gradually dropped, and the air has become increasingly humid. Nonoli, who is in charge of farming, is getting busier and busier. The flower fairies fly back and forth in groups, working to sow seeds into the soft and smooth soil after it has been tilled. Streams of magical light shimmer softly and brightly at the tip of the magic wand, and the once barren land is gradually being tinged with vibrant green.
Shu Xin wasn't idle either. She pulled Lan Jiao along and once again waved her magic wand to urge the giant dragon bamboo to grow.
The flower fairies who moved in later still live in the cave. Because many of the disaster victims need long-term recuperation, part of the previously built Giant Dragon Bamboo Building has been converted into a sanatorium for patients, which requires more bamboo houses as residences.
However, Shu Xin had already figured out how to allocate the houses – she could choose a house directly through a lottery!
With the Tree of Life around, the process could be simplified. Shu Xin was still figuring out the most convenient way to operate when Bretzman suddenly came over.
After the temperature returned to normal, the classes that had been suspended due to the drought resumed. Shu Xin tried teaching Bleitzman some Chinese characters, and to her surprise, she was able to speak, listen, read and write fluently very quickly. Perhaps it was a kind of talent that only true river elves possess. Bleitzman could even understand the meaning and extended meaning of Chinese characters very well. So Shu Xin was moved and handed over this part of the teaching task to her without hesitation.
The minors said goodbye to their sweet syrup-making work in the morning with pouts, while the demons began their arduous literacy training in the afternoon with blank faces. Bleitzman had a very fulfilling day, and her sudden visit made Shu Xin very curious.
Noticing Bretzman's solemn expression, Shu Xin had a familiar, ominous premonition—
"Baby, the rate at which the water element in the air is increasing is wrong, it's too fast! The area of the Sky Sea has almost doubled!"
