Chapter 279 279. Locust plague and 200,000 people
Miffin left the north to practice his faith.
But before he left, he restored almost all the withered edible crops and fruit trees to life.
That is a large-scale miraculous spell - this kind of "divine spell" is actually also found in the magic sequence. It is an almost legendary level of "wishing spell".
It is said that by casting this magic, you can get everything you wish for, but depending on the wish, the magic power consumed will increase dramatically.
It’s really unimaginable how much exaggerated magic power Mifein needs to spread miracles like this.
The only thing that can be seen intuitively is that through the monitoring of the mage tower, Croya clearly observed that the magic power of death shining on Mifein became stronger and stronger.
He almost looks like a walking grave.
“Sigh.”
“I hope he can use that ticket before he completely loses consciousness.”
It was made by him using the magic power of Eden, and there was also a rock note in it that he finally managed to get, and its value was simply inestimable.
Even death cannot prevent the ticket from forcibly recalling Mifein's soul, unless something can crush the eternal magic in an instant.
But how is that possible?
Kloya shook his head, looked at Taling doubtfully, and said strangely: "You have been in a daze since the disaster began. Are you afraid that this disaster will affect you?"
< br>"Huh?" Ta Ling was in a daze for a second before coming back to his senses.
"I am analyzing what Master Eliste's mage tower gave me. It told me that only prophecy can analyze this knowledge."
The tower spirit transmitted some strange magic patterns and spell models to Croya looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt a little dizzy.
That is obviously the ability of prophecy.
And it seems that it is not an ordinary level of prophecy. The complex magic pattern is like a messy ball of thread, and there is no place to start to solve it.
"Such a complicated prophecy, there must be some big secret inside it." Although Croya couldn't solve it by himself, he was not helpless.
He quickly reached the top of his mage tower.
In addition to the Kong Yao Tulip being cultivated here, there is another kind of magic plant.
It grows in a culture medium made from starlight solution. Its appearance is like a nebula-like haze of light. There is a very rhythmic glow between the flashes, as if it is calling for something.
The starlight of the Star of Astraeus, which is fixed on the highest level of the Mage Tower, is indeed attracted by it. The small light spots look like falling like comets, colliding with the nebula.
Break out the light of the stars more dazzlingly.
"The Eye of Bresina, the Flower of Prophecy."
"I have always been curious about why this thing has anything to do with eyes."
He complained to Taling: "These Archmages always like to name magic plants after themselves, and the result is eyes, hands, heads..."
"It feels like being cut into pieces."
"If I do it, no one will be allowed to name it after me like this."
The towering was silent for a brief moment, and then remembered the Cloya Plain named by the apprentices and knights, where an unknown number of people were buried.
It rationally did not mention this matter, but asked:
"So you plan to use this magic plant to help unlock the prophecy spell?"
"Yes." Croya stared at these flowers, seemingly concentrating, but in fact he was engraving.
These flowers were planted by him personally. They were originally flowers of prophecy, and he had an innate yearning for all kinds of mysterious prophecies.
After he showed the complicated magic pattern, these flowers were already excited -
"Wow! It's a complicated prophecy!"
"We want to learn!"< br>
"Master, Master! Teach us!"
The mental fluctuations of the flowers reached Croya's ears, and they were really impatient.
So Croya didn't delay any longer and immediately handed over all the prophecies to these flowers.
After obtaining these complex magic patterns and magic spells, the flowers all shone with clear starlight, and the radiance was connected with each other, and finally completely gathered together.
The magic lines of prophecy flickered in these nebulae, seeming to echo the stars in the sky, and even made a strange sound of "didi-dip-dip".
These Eyes of Bresina contain magic that he has engraved that can link and aggregate each other. When all the power of the flower is gathered together, it is equivalent to an automatic calculation machine.
As long as you have enough time, you can.
Croya looked at this scene and nodded:
"Sure enough, prophecy and astrology are inseparable."
This may be the reason why he can't learn prophecy no matter what. , the changes in the stars have nothing to do with him. He can't even remember them, so how can he learn them?
"The next step is to wait, hoping to get some useful information."
He withdrew his gaze.
"Master." The tower spirit suddenly came closer and showed the picture to Croya: "This is the picture that Ryan and Seliu outside just sent back."
"Huh?" Croya Hearing the solemnity in Ta Ling's voice, he immediately looked over.
I saw black shadows covering the sky and sun in the picture - they were locusts. The locusts were so terrifying in number that they even covered the sky and the earth when they flew.
Even the hand of the recorder, who was hiding under the protection of the photomask, was shaking.
"Lord Croya."
"I am now entering the territory of Norant. This is what happened in the southern border area of Norant."
Lian's voice forced himself to remain calm and showed more of the picture.
It can be seen that as long as these locusts see anyone alive, whether it is a plant or an animal, they will all swarm up, and the opponent will be eaten up without even having room to resist.
It's like a black storm that can wipe out everything.
In just a few minutes, the land that was originally lush with vegetation turned into a messy and dead land. The soil and rocks were bare and there was no trace of other colors.
After the locusts left, Ryan, who was holding the magic video recorder, left the protection of the light shield.
He walked on the earth and turned over the ground, only to find that not only all the exposed plants on the ground had disappeared, but even their roots had been eaten away.
Chloë frowned slightly.
You must know that an ordinary locust plague will at most eat everything that can be eaten on the ground. The roots underground will not be damaged, so there is still a chance to recover.
But in the current situation, it is hard to say whether it can be restored.
And he always felt that this kind of scene had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. The same was true for the mother nest he had taken in, and the worker bees it released to collect resources.
‘It seems we need to catch some locusts for research. '
After making this decision, his expression immediately calmed down: "Sure enough, the locust plague is coming."
Although this scene is indeed shocking, he is now loyal to himself and has created The northern border is like an iron barrel.
Besides, as a time traveler, he still reads some novels and has already carried out an operation to exterminate locusts throughout the northern territory.
There are tens of thousands of magic feather chickens running around in the northern land, looking for locust eggs that may be hidden in the soil.
They will plow the entire northern land over and over again to ensure that no locusts slip through the net.
As for the natural disasters outside...
That is not something he can interfere with casually.
No matter how capable he is, he can only ensure that there will be no problems in his own territory. The outside world can only look at the response of various countries to deal with the disaster.
Although he really didn't hold out hope for a world where nobles and supernatural beings firmly held power, he still had a little fantasy. Maybe they could have some brains this time?
This time is not a simple disaster. If the population really dies, the upper level will definitely become unstable after the bottom structure collapses.
Thinking like this, he suddenly remembered something.
As a duke appointed by the royal family and the Mage Association, he actually has the power to relocate people, and he can even relocate people from various areas of the kingdom.
Unless there is a duke or a royal family who opposes him, he can force nobles such as baron, viscount and count to donate their population honestly.
And now he really doesn't think anyone would dare to confront him head-on. Then...
He looked at Taling: "Take my scepter and go to the southern border and order the local nobles to hand over at least half of the serfs and free people.
As compensation, I will give them some food and special means to resist locusts."
After a pause, he added: "Bring back the magical beasts and magical plants that you can catch. I will create an ecological garden suitable for them to live in. ”
The tower spirit nodded: "Then I'll do it now."
"Yes."
Watching the tower spirit leave, Croya found a place to sit down - inside the magic tower Almost every space has sofas for resting and rest corners with various snacks and drinks.
Sitting on the comfortable sofa, he looked through the partitions of the mage tower and saw the god Moss who was being eroded by the light of Eden.
The eyes became deep.
It seems that at some point, some strange shadows of swords, guns, swords and halberds appeared in this guy's dream, as if they were clamoring for war.
If it weren't for the light of Eden and the Xuyue Sacred Tree suppressing it together, this guy would probably wake up from his dream.
It’s really strange.
......
Croa's order was conveyed to the southern border.
Along with the order came a complete order of knights, a group of battle mages, and a support and backup group of magic plant monsters.
The nobles in the southern territory immediately clearly understood the determination of Croya, the Duke of Hanjiao. The only Duke in the South stayed behind closed doors after entertaining Samuel who was leading the team.
Obviously the Duke does not want to conflict with Croya, and of course others do not dare to have any ideas.
So, it can be said to be quite easy.
After visiting Lord Yanshan, Samir began to carry out his own plan.
It took about a month to get half of the population of the nobles in the southern border, as well as various magical beasts and magical plants collected along the way, and brought them all back to the northern border.
Of course, half of the population here refers to those abandoned by various small nobles. Their retainers and slaves, as well as some free people scattered in the south, have not been taken away.
The southern border is so big, and there is no census of the northern border. There may be secluded villages somewhere. Half of the population of 200,000 refers to the nobles.
The real population must be much larger than this, but Samir really doesn’t have the energy to search the mountains and seas to find it.
Fortunately, there was not even a single battle during the planning period. The only ones injured were the piercing cries that affected their mental strength while picking mandrakes.
In addition, the team only brought less food, but brought back a full 200,000 people.
That’s two hundred thousand people!
The current population of the North is 600,000, which is equivalent to an increase of one-third.
The governors in the north were dazzled when they saw so many people suddenly arriving, and then they were ecstatic.
Population! It’s the population!
The most lacking thing in the North right now is population. After all, the production capacity of golems is limited, and they cannot all be left to the golems. There is still some gap between the intelligence of golems and humans.
So when the serfs who were brought and the free people abandoned by the lords and nobles were still uneasy, what greeted them was the baptism of the north——
Twenty thousand people were divided The batches were brought to a large lake in the middle of the northern border. The lake was now filled with hot steam, and there were fish swimming in it waiting for them.
The serfs and freedmen almost cried.
“We are going to be sacrificed!”
"Are we going to cook us all?"
They thought the vast and huge lake in front of them was the venue for some kind of sacrificial ceremony. After all, steam was coming out of it!
The expressions on the faces of the guards who maintained order were as twitchy as they were.
Sacrifice ceremony?
In order to disinfect and exorcise these 200,000 people from head to toe, the mage apprentices prepared potions day and night, and also invited people from the Salt Mountain Knights to help.
Turns out they thought they were going to cook them?
Samir, who was in charge of this work, had a look of helplessness on his face. He recalled the situation when the residents of Hanjiao Island first arrived. It seemed to be like this at that time.
He shook his head, and with the help of the amplification magic arranged by the mages, the voice reached everyone's ears:
"You have just arrived in the North and need to be disinfected."
“The lake in front of you now was personally ordered to be prepared for you by the great Duke Hanjiao, the mentor of all of us, and the supreme Lord of the North.”
"Bathing in it will cleanse you of all filth, disease, and possible curses."
"Now, all of you must enter inside, this is an order!"
Anyway Having also been a consul for a period of time, Samir knew very well that sometimes orders outweighed good intentions. Ordinary people who had lived in the south for so long could not understand the sudden good intentions of nobles.
They may even wonder if it is a trap.
But now with the order, they who had been dominated for a long time immediately had a target and entered the foggy lake one by one.
The warm lake water is sprinkled with fragrant essential oils and magic salts, and there are small fish living and swimming in it to help uneasy people clean the dirt on their bodies.
People who were originally worried about whether they were going to die smelled the aroma, felt the gentle pecks of the fish, and felt the soft sand under their feet.
That feeling made them forget everything in an instant - even if they were going to die, they should still enjoy it!
With such a self-destructive mentality, they began to give each other a bath in the lake. The men and women were separated on both sides of the lake, and there was a water wall in the middle to prevent them from disturbing each other.
Although this is a very large open-air bath that Cloya built temporarily, Cloya does not intend to use it just once. The essential oils and magic power inside are carefully proportioned.
It is a special bath that can ensure that the water quality is clear, the aquatic life inside can survive, and is maintained in an almost natural state.
Perhaps more people will come in the future, and they will receive a series of treatments here to ensure that they will not carry any plague diseases or even curses.
The world is in such chaos now. If some wrong or malicious people really sneak in, it will still have some impact on the Northern Territory.
Samir stared at the lake.
When this group of people finish washing, the magic purification device under the lake will automatically start, and the coral purification network will transport all the dirt and dirt underground for harmless treatment.
Then came the second batch and the third batch...
The bathing time lasted for three full days before it was finally over. People who had finished bathing were given new clothes and then uniformly arranged to go to the second road in the north. Go to the portal for step two.
After they walk to this square, tower-like building, they will be registered with basic identity information by some human-looking thieves.
They have no room to lie here. The sunflowers that are constantly emitting warm light next to them are the best lie detectors.
If someone lies, they will be immediately arrested by the patrolling guards for detention and interrogation - after all, with such a huge population suddenly pouring into the north, safety is the first priority.
Even though it may be a little too cruel and harsh, it is necessary.
And when they finally passed the strict information registration on the Stealing Rat side, everyone received their own identity plate, and they were divided up and taken away by the long-awaited lords from various places.
If there is any blacksmith, craftsman, gardener, or even someone with some talents in farming and herding, there will be special treatment arrangements.
No way, there is no shortage of talents in the north, but in a sense, there is also a great shortage of talents, especially talents for infrastructure.
More importantly, the huge special ecological park that Kroya is building to accommodate the magic plants and monsters brought from the southern border needs these "locals" to work.
The environment in the southern region is hot and humid. All kinds of animals grow to huge sizes, and there are also some unique insect-like monsters.
If I have to say it, the oxygen content is much more exaggerated than in the north. If these plants are planted randomly in the north, it will definitely affect the environment in the north.
So the construction of a special ecological park is imminent. In this ecological park, there will not only be magical plants and monsters from the Southern Territory, but also the special customs and living habits of the Southern Territory will be preserved.
Part of the reason for doing this is to preserve the ecological integrity of the southern border, and part of it is Croya's hobby.
Chloë likes to have the scenery of various places completely reproduced in front of him, which makes him feel very accomplished.
What's more, he was really tired of seeing the same old Northern Territory. Even if it was just for eye candy, he still wanted to show all kinds of strange scenery in front of his eyes.
Before Semir set out, Croya had already issued an order to construct a basic geometric ecological array on a huge island in the ocean with an area of thirty hectares.
He had no doubts about Samir's success and had made preparations early.
After the people in the southern border were finally able to enter the northern border after various reviews, some of them were sent to the "Southern Border Garden" under construction for guidance.
One of the lucky young men named Yagobu was anxiously rushing to the island on a magic ship.
He didn't know yet what a great creation he was about to see.
