The colorful morning glow gradually faded, revealing a faint crescent moon.
It was already nightfall, but the Meredith City team was still running around.
This is a three-person team, consisting of a fourth-level great councilor Lyle and two third-level ordinary councilors.
However, the two ordinary congressmen are not ordinary. One is the most talented wizard in Meredith City, Raiden, and the other is the witch Rosa from the Kyle family.
To put it simply, the Kyle family's food status in Meredith City is equal to that of the Luen family in its heyday, and even better.
The three of them had just arrived in Neustadt via the teleportation array from Meredith City, and were now heading towards the Tielaimei Plain.
"Leiden, you are the most familiar with Councilor Colin, so you will be the main one to negotiate..."
The night wind howled, and Leiden curled up his lips inexplicably as he thought about his mentor's instructions to him.
This talented wizard of the same age is more interesting than he imagined. Can he actually solve the problem of farmland pollution?
A few days ago, he was reminded to be prepared to deal with Neustadt's possible food requisition, but now it seems... he may be worrying blindly.
As long as the farmland can be restored, there is no need to worry about not having food.
The time for autumn planting is not over yet!
Covering the stars and the moon all the way, they successfully arrived at the Golden Wheat Ear of Loen Kingdom when the moon was in the middle of the sky.
"Rayden, do you remember Meredith's bottom line? You will be mainly responsible for negotiating later." Lyle turned around and asked.
He was not very familiar with Raiden, but he was by no means ignorant of this maverick genius.
In terms of fighting and training, Lyle agreed with his strength, but in terms of negotiation... he was still a little worried about this young wizard.
It's a pity that Chairman Test has named Leiden to be responsible for negotiating with Colin. The reason is that the two of them know each other and are both geniuses, so they can chat better...
"Remember." Raiden said calmly.
Seeing his calm expression, Lyle felt a little relieved.
"It doesn't matter if it exceeds some of the bottom lines. The Keger family can add some extra." Rosa from the Keger family said next to her.
"Yeah." Raiden nodded.
The group of people continued to fly towards the wizard tower area.
It was late at night, and it was actually not a good time to visit at this time, but the farmland pollution issue could not be delayed, so I could only hope that Colin had not fallen asleep yet.
In fact, Colin did not sleep. After noticing the auras of the three people, he walked out of the wizard tower.
——In order to avoid misunderstanding, the three Lyles did not deliberately hide their figures, but instead showed off a little more momentum.
"Sir Leiden..." Colin smiled and greeted Leiden who was walking at the front, then looked at the other two people beside him and asked, "Who are these two?"
"Congressman Lyle and Rosa Kyle." Raiden introduced calmly, and at the same time, he simply took out a silver storage ring and handed it over, "As a meeting gift, there are 10 million magic stones in it."
Lyle behind him was stunned. Although this magic stone was indeed a meeting gift, Raiden was too straightforward.
Colin raised his eyebrows. Apart from being a little surprised at Meredith's generosity, he didn't think anything of it. He was already used to this genius wizard's acting style.
He calmly took the storage ring and said hello to Lyle and the other two. He smiled and said, "I already know your purpose of coming. It's important. Let's go in and talk."
Leiden and the other three took it upon themselves to follow him and walked in.
Colin expected that the people from Meredith City would come over immediately, so he had already prepared the reception room. When they walked in, Renee had prepared steaming black tea and some refreshments in time.
"Everyone, please take a seat." Colin sat on the soft sofa.
I thought that the senior congressman named Lyle would be sitting in the middle opposite, but it was Raiden who actually sat in the middle.
The latter did not exchange greetings, and went straight to the point with Lyle and Rosa's slightly stiff expressions:
"Congressman Colin, I think neither you nor I like it.
For those who are beating around the bush, just tell them what you want.
Meredith and the Kegg family are willing to pay a corresponding price for a solution to farmland pollution, whether it is witchcraft knowledge, magic stones, or anything else, as long as it is reasonable, they can be satisfied."
"There's no need to be polite. You must have put in a lot of effort to study farmland pollution. You deserve it."
Raiden's tone was calm, he finished speaking clearly and looked at Colin.
Rather than worrying about the benefits, he was more willing to use this to understand the character of the equally talented wizard in front of him.
This is what he thinks, and this is what Test also thinks.
However, Lyle and Rosa next to them did not know the deeper meaning. When they looked at each other, they could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.
When Raiden said this, they fell completely passive...
But Colin on the opposite side was startled for a moment, but said seriously: "I have received Meredith City's sincerity. Saving farmland is for all wizards. Naturally, I will not hide my secrets. As for the reward, I will only take what I deserve."
It's worth it..."
He is not one of those short-sighted pure-blood wizards who only pursue profit. Raiden treats him with magnanimity, and he will be magnanimous in return.
"Okay, I like your personality!" Raiden said with a smile.
The four of them continued to discuss the details.
…
Neustadt.
Senator Jonson has not yet fallen asleep. At the fourth level, sleep is already dispensable if there is no intense consumption.
He was reviewing the grain purchase intention forms sent in advance by various forces in the city.
"The Willy family wants a 10% harvest, but this is the only amount of magic stone they can produce... haha."
After reading for a while, Jonson got a rough idea of the price these families or schools were willing to pay.
Still too low... Jonson shook his head and threw them aside, not intending to reply to any of them.
Except for top powers like the Tate family, he has not yet reached a contract with any other power.
Anyway, autumn planting has just begun now, and it will take more than half a year before the grain harvest, and those forces who are short of food will only be more anxious than him.
At this time, a dark shadow quietly entered the study.
"What's the matter?"
Jonson raised his head and asked calmly.
"Just now, three high-level wizards arrived at the Golden Wheat Sheaf to visit Colin."
"Do you have more specific information about the three wizards? Are they members of the Tate family?"
"I don't know." Black Shadow shook his head.
Jonson frowned. Apart from Noyes, what other high-level wizards could that congressman know?
After thinking for a moment, Jonson did not go into details, but simply ordered: "Let the informants try to find out the identities of those high-level wizards without exposing them."
He was wary of the Tiramean Plain, but his vigilance was limited. Most of those informants existed when he planned to capture the Tiramean Plain before the farmland was destroyed.
"Are the serfs ready?" Jonson asked again.
"We have basically acquired enough serfs." Black Shadow paused, "It's just that the cost exceeded the budget by a lot."
"Those slave merchants failed to purchase serfs in the Tiramei Plain, so they raised the price a lot."
"Exactly how much was exceeded?"
"It's about twice as much as expected."
Jonson frowned, silently making a mental note for the new congressman, and ordered: "Since we have enough serfs, we should organize the reclamation of farmland as soon as possible and prepare for autumn planting."
"Yes." The black shadow quietly dispersed.
Jonson put his hand on his brow, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
"Three high-level wizards...who could they be?"
Jonson didn't wonder for long.
One day later, the announcement from the Supreme Council and the information from the spy were delivered to him at the same time.
"Farmland pollution has been solved?!" Jonson clutched the Supreme Council Announcement in his hand tightly, while the black shadow next to him lay on the ground, silent.
The study in the early morning was unchanged from the night before, but at this moment Jonson felt that everything in front of him was so unpleasant!
boom!
The precious rainwood desk shattered with the sound, the parliamentary proclamation tightly clenched in his hand also turned into powder, and Jonson's face was filled with dark clouds.
The black shadow on the side subconsciously crawled lower.
Buzz——
The communication crystal that fell from the broken table shone with light.
After taking a few deep breaths, Jonson reached out to pick up the crystal and said coldly:
"What's up?"
"Master, Representative Nickler of the Tate family came to visit, saying that he wanted to discuss the purchase of food..."
Click-bang!
The white communication crystal suddenly turned into powder under the surging magic power. Jonson could no longer suppress his anger and gritted his teeth and hissed:
"Colin——Leonard——!!"
…
Compared to the stormy, gloomy and depressing atmosphere in Jonson's study, the Tirami Plain was enveloped in an atmosphere of grand joy at this moment.
Today is a cloudy day with dense clouds in the sky.
Tread——
On the endless gray fields, the knights and the conscripted serfs lined up at the required distance, scattering the colorful crystal fragments on their left waist into the farmland at their feet, and then took out a few from the cloth bag hanging on the right.
Sprinkle grass seeds onto the crystal shards.
Colin was suspended high in the sky, with a panoramic view of the entire Tiramei Plain.
Nowadays, the distance of a thousand meters is nothing to him. Everything on the ground is as clear as before, and every detail is visible.
Looking slightly lower into the sky, one can still see more wizard figures floating over different farmlands in the Tiramei Plain.
They seem to be very close, but in fact they are far apart. Even the distance between the two nearest wizards is probably more than ten kilometers.
They were all quietly waiting for the knights from various countries at their feet and the recruited serfs to complete the preliminary preparations.
Wilbur, the wizard stationed in the airspace near Golden Wheatear, looked at the fields at his feet, then looked up at Colin's somewhat blurry figure above him, and felt infinite emotion in his heart.
The first time he saw Colin being able to kill a second-level gray-white monster, he was shocked. But now, just a few months later, the wizard who was on duty with him has become an unattainable figure for him. figure……
But what was even more unbelievable to Wilbur than this was the action Colin planned today.
Can it actually solve farmland pollution?!
If Colin hadn't held the assistance order issued by the Supreme Council, he wouldn't have believed it at all.
In fact, he still can't believe it until now...
"What are you adults doing?"
At the edge of the farmland in the distance, civilians passing by saw this scene and began to look at it with curiosity.
Since the farmland was polluted, only the gray ruins of the once famous golden sea of wheat in the Tiramei Plain remain.
When the golden wheat sea was there, no matter what season, there were always people coming to enjoy the scenery, and serfs would also shuttle through it and work hard.
But now, there are very few people here. This gray ruin exudes an unpleasant smell, and no one wants to come here.
However, farmland is close to the city after all, and there are always people passing by for various reasons.
As time went by, more and more civilians gathered together.
At first, except for the well-informed nobles who knew what was going on, the rest of the common people knew nothing.
But as time went by, maybe it was someone's guess, or maybe they heard discussions among the nobles.
"This is saving farmland."
This news gradually spread to the ears of everyone standing on the edge of the farmland and looking out, so those who were passing by, staying in the city, and not curious people also came to the edge of the farmland.
People from the entire Tiramei Plain spontaneously gathered towards every piece of farmland in every city.
Fortunately, Colin had already responded to this. The knights who were well prepared pulled out their long whips from their waists and fired.
Begin to step forward to maintain order.
"Quiet, don't get too close!"
"Watch your step!"
But soon, the long whips raised in their hands suddenly dropped.
When so many people gather, it should be noisy and restless.
But at this moment, except for some slight chatter, the crowd seemed to be extremely stable and quiet, and there was no need for the knight to loudly control them.
And when they saw the knight coming forward, the crowd did not retreat in fear like in the past, but only took two steps back slightly and looked at them with complicated eyes.
"Sir, may I ask, is this... restoring farmland?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Finally, a dark-skinned old man summoned up the courage to ask tremblingly, but the cloudy eyes embedded in his shriveled face were shining.
The knight put the whip back on his waist, paused and nodded: "Yes."
"ah!"
"Very good!"
"Really saving farmland!"
"There's food again!"
"Mary..."
Some people in the crowd exclaimed, some were in disbelief, and some cried silently...
"Quiet! Don't interfere with the adults' work!"
The knight shouted quickly, fearing that the crowd would cause chaos.
However, the crowd that was in a frenzy one moment immediately silenced his shouts the next moment and remained as silent as a chill.
Agriculture is the pillar industry of the Tielaimei Plain.
This simple sentence has extra weight when it comes to the people living in this land.
Every piece of farmland here is closely related to everyone living here.
During the months when their farmland was contaminated, their every day was suffering.
If Colin hadn't forcibly confiscated a lot of grain in the early stages, and then issued several stringent laws on grain, barely ensuring the survival of ordinary people, how many people would have been destroyed and their families destroyed.
But even so, many people still lost their financial resources and subsequently their families.
The preparations completed by the knights and the conscripted serfs lasted for more than an hour before coming to an end.
There were some interludes during this period.
Some nobles who had sold farmland to Colin before, or sold serfs when the slave merchants arrived, became red-eyed after learning that the farmland could be restored.
The rational ones only blamed themselves for their bad luck and made wrong choices, sighing repeatedly, while some irrational ones rushed to the farmland that originally belonged to them with their knights.
Maybe they just want an explanation.
But no matter what, the moment they stepped into the farmland, they were killed by the wizard in the sky.
After about two hours, the preliminary preparations were completely completed.
At this moment, the crowd gathered on the edge of the farmland was already a sea of people. They were all waiting quietly...waiting for a miracle.
"All farmland is ready."
Colin, who is the highest in the sky, sends his voice accurately to the ears of every wizard above the farmland.
"Now, let's get started."
Buzz——
Surging magic power surged out from the magic sea, blooming in the air like fireworks, and then like meteorites falling into the lake, causing waves of tsunami-like magic energy ripples.
Not long after, the huge movement caused by Colin could be felt throughout the Tiramei Plain.
This is a power unique to high-level wizards.
Gradually, the dense clouds over the Tielaimei Plain began to become thicker and darker in color.
Phew~
A wisp of wind with the unique coolness of autumn blew, followed by the second wisp, the third wisp... countless wisps!
Click!
Blue lightning flashed across the sky!
Rumble——!
Muffled thunder mixed with the cheers of people on the ground.
Then, at a certain moment, rain mixed with special energy fell.
The raindrops swayed down from the sky, fell to the ground, fell on the farmland, and soaked into the grass seeds and crystal fragments that had been scattered previously.
The next moment, huge white flowers bloomed one after another on the gray farmland, and in an instant, the originally gray farmland turned into a sea of white flowers!
Wilbur held his breath and was stunned by the shocking scenery in front of him.
"Attention, right now, output magic power to the farmland!"
It wasn't until Colin's warning voice came that he suddenly came back to his senses, clenched the crystal he had already held in his hand, and input magic power into it.
Buzz——
The crystal in his hand emits crystal white light, and the special crystal fragments soaked by rain in the farmland seem to have received some kind of instructions and began to emit light.
Then, a fantastic and magnificent scene emerged that Wilbur would never forget.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, with lightning flashing through them from time to time, drizzle falling softly, and muffled thunder sounding intermittently.
In a gloomy and dark world, a sea of light appears. Countless white flowers sway on the sea of light, like a dream.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Wilbur felt that the world suddenly became quiet for a moment.
The sound of thunder, rain, and the voices of people talking beside the farmland seemed to have disappeared.
The whole world was eerily silent, and the sea of light with white flowers occupied all of his mind, purifying all the pollution from the gods.
The rain came and went quickly.
After just a short while, the clouds cleared and the rain cleared. The first ray of golden sunlight passed through the much thinner clouds and fell on the earth, shining on Wilbur, making him squint his eyes.
At this time, he finally heard the sound.
"That's great...that's great..."
"Mary...have you seen that the farmland has been restored and our bakery can continue to operate..."
"The farmland has really recovered..."
"..."
These voices were a little chaotic at first, but soon they gathered like a tsunami into neat shouts:
"grateful……"
"Thank you...the great..."
"Thank you to the great Lord of Tilaime——!!"
This was an unorganized sound, but it resounded loudly throughout the Tiramei Plain.
Colin was slightly startled in mid-air. He had never expected this scene.
Everyone was calling the same name... Anyone would be excited, and Colin was no exception. Looking at the scene below him, he couldn't help but smile.
The people are ignorant, but the people are also awake.
After all, they know who is really thinking about them...
