【Wastewater】.
The level of craftsmanship in this world is not very high. If it is domestic wastewater, there shouldn't be such a deadly thing!
Sean looked at the withered plants nearby. Unless there were chemicals involved, they wouldn't have withered so quickly...
"What's wrong with you? Did you discover something?" Although Igunya on the side did not have the same ability as Sean, she knew how to read people's expressions.
"Where do you get your water?" he asked the little boy again.
The child who was being chased by the old man stopped for a moment and looked at Sean.
"What are you looking at? Answer the master quickly." The old man urged hurriedly.
"Yes... I caught it from the river a few days ago." Pointing to the stream flowing not far away.
"A few days ago? Shouldn't we be fetching water that year?"
The distance is not too far. Although there is more land, it won’t take long to go back and forth if you are diligent.
"Oh, that's right, sir. The workers here are all young and sometimes we're lazy. They can't get up, and then they often feel sleepy at noon. So, I don't know which kid came up with this idea. We put a big bucket in every place that needs watering frequently and fill it up at night... The saplings here don't need frequent watering, and the big trees even less, so they can last a long time."
The old man pointed to the big bucket in front of Sean. This full bucket of water would be enough for a long time, and sometimes more water might evaporate than be used.
But the main thing is that it saves the effort of going back and forth every time...
Sean looked at the withered plant. Indeed, if it was watered that day, it wouldn't have turned into this state right after watering, especially since it was taken from the stream.
"I understand! Ignia, come with me."
"Oh? Okay."
The girl didn't understand why Sean suddenly walked towards the stream without looking at the orchard. The old man was about to follow him, but Sean stopped him. He said he would stop here for the day and come back for more advice later if he had time.
After saying goodbye politely, I walked towards the stream...
"Sean, what did you find out? You won't tell me even when I ask you." Igunya, who was following behind him, asked angrily.
"Industrial area."
"ah?"
Sean's sudden turn startled Igonia.
"Is this an industrial area?"
"How is that possible? The engineering areas of Koga City are all in the north of the city. How could they be in a place like this? Otherwise, how could this place become an orchard?" Even if she was ignorant, she still had some common sense. But when Igunya said this, she suddenly remembered what happened just now.
"Sean, do you think there's something wrong with that water?"
Sean turned around and smiled at the other person.
"I remember you often asked me about the conversations between Earl Hamilton and me." He glanced at the other person and felt that it was about time.
Because of their relationship at the Earl's house, they had no chance to communicate before. Now that they were alone together, he could tell her all these things. There were not many people he could trust in Koga City, but Igunya was definitely a simple-minded girl, otherwise he would have discovered it long ago.
Therefore, intelligence sharing will be more conducive to gaining a foothold in Koga City in the future.
"Yeah, but you didn't tell me."
"At that time in the Earl's house, anything I said and did could have reached the Earl's ears... Now I can tell you what Earl Hamilton and I said at that time."
Sean told Igonia about his conversation with the Earl that day, but the other party looked shocked.
"You mean someone wants to take action against the nobles in the south."
If there hadn't been any strange phenomenon above her head, Sean would have thought that this girl was playing herself.
Such an obvious thing!
I can’t even see…
"Don't you have any thoughts about the big rat that day?"
"Oh, that's what you're talking about. I've thought about it too, and even asked my senior brother why he appeared in the city, but he didn't give me any answer... I think it must be a Warcraft that sneaked out. After all, don't stories like this happen often?" Igunya said, looking at Sean.
Sometimes I really envy those people who have no worries since birth.
"Let's not talk about this anymore... Earl Hamilton once asked me to track down the person behind this. I agreed, but I still have no clue."
"You think it has something to do with the water? What does that have to do with it?"
Sean didn't answer the other party immediately because Igunya couldn't see it, so this part couldn't be explained.
The water taken casually from the creek has such a strong concentration of waste substances. How much must have been dumped to become like this... Unless a factory in the engineering area secretly dumped industrial wastewater into the creek, such a thing is prohibited by the laws of Koga City.
What’s more important is that the two places are very far apart!
Koga City is not comparable to his own small town. It takes a long time to go back and forth, and the cost is too high.
So it must have been done by someone near the stream.
"It's just a water problem. It might be a prank played by those kids!" Igunya continued.
"Hush, just follow me. Whatever it is, you have to go and see it to understand it."
Sean couldn't say for sure now because it was just a guess and far from being confirmed.
And sometimes, the more you think about something like 'doubt', the closer you seem to the details... Most people have always focused their attention on the city of Koga, and not on the outside of the city.
Maybe if you have no idea where to start, you can try looking from the outside.
