The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

The Karet plain, now also a scene of a cold winter depression, the grasslands have dried up, the wolves are wandering around, and not far away can hear the roar of the beasts, but it is close to paradise compared to the glaciers of the sky not long ago.

Not far behind is Horrit Snow Mountain, looking back, you can also see the ice wall straight into the sky, the snowy mountain can't see the border at a glance.

On the meadow, the elves formed a huge convoy, moving slowly and resolutely north.

The vast majority of the elves have to walk, and the haunted brigade is walking extremely slowly.

A small number of carriages and large bird carriages are either filled with seriously injured persons or are filled with supplies such as medicines, medicines and food.

Normal inanimate materials can also be placed in the City of Everlasting Night, and if the food and supplies to be imported are corroded by negative energy, the user is afraid to become a dead spirit.

From time to time, minor injuries and children can no longer move, dragged away by others, hidden crying in the ranks, perhaps because survivors were previously paralyzed by fear and despair, and when they finally found themselves in a safe area, the grief of losing their homes and loved ones could not resist.

Even as the floating fleet moves slowly over the sky, the artillery fire is already driving the beasts close to the convoy, the elves' winged horses, the Horned Eagle Knights are still cruising in the clouds, even though these empty knights and their rides are wounded, perhaps they want to find some work to do, lest they spend too much time thinking, drowning in sorrow and despair.

Perhaps the end of the current destruction of the Pokémon gods is a joy for all the people in the dominion and the best way for the Pokémon to remain in the mortal world to face the future, but for ordinary Pokémon, it makes no sense to see too far away, they have just lost their homes and their people's war refugees, and they are just crying sadly because they have lost everything from their past.

The entire convoy was hidden in a grey mourning atmosphere, with crying and sighing in our ears, but we had no intention of intervening, and grief, if it could not be released, would become more of a consequence.

Perhaps the first goal on the devil's side has been accomplished, perhaps the elves are already an unexpected and perfect offering, or perhaps the tide of the devil is more chaotic than expected, and we encounter more modest pursuits than expected, and soon the fairies give us the latest warfare but tell us the truth - that the tide of greed is enjoying new prey.

“The Duchy of Devon is dead? Just a day? ”

“It was precisely eighteen hours and forty minutes, crossing the border from the tide of evil, to Natis to break through the gates of the king's capital. Although it was a small country with nearly a million inhabitants of three cities, it did end faster than imagined. ”

It seems that even after the consumption of the Pokémon, the tide and the Danatis are still beyond the reach of a small, ordinary country that, if I recall correctly, should have rejected our previous application for passage in order to avoid igniting the torso, but the result is generally the same.

I lay in bed trying to focus on the view out the window, but...

“Is there any more up-to-date information and politics to deal with? Any news from the Devil's Abyss in the North? ”

“There is no new news coming from the North, but this is probably why the war broke out. In just two days, the average price of inland winter food rose by 30%...”

The noise in my ears and the enthusiastic gaze eventually made me give up my plans to ignore the others in my room and focus on hiding.

“Renee, can't you give the patient a good rest? ”

I still can't move. I'm lying in the Arctic Light medical room, and the interior is full of herbs and alchemy. It replenishes the overdraft after the curse is released. Compared to the sacred light that overflows life, I still prefer natural therapies that work slowly but have no sequelae, and the bandage therapy that permeates the magic restorative agent, but the secret to treating the overdraft.

The small infirmary actually had a desk set up, and Renee chose not to bother to work here, and her queen, Ivy from the Sorority Federation... Marcel, deal with the affairs here, too.

Early in the morning, Renee came here to work with her government team, and now she's mostly looking for someone to dump her pot, given her more diligent but limited work style than I am.

“I know you're busy. Go to your captain's office. What does it mean to interrupt the patient's rest here? ”

“Just because you tied yourself up as a mummy doesn't mean you're really hurt, and the doctor says you're perfectly capable of doing business. If you have time to look at the mechanical repair manual, you might want to do something real, like give us some advice. By the way, your dwarf-language mechanical manual is reversed. ”

I hurried over the handbook, but the little girl laughed and told me that she had been accidentally tricked.

Yes, I know what engineering is, I know some dwarf language, but I can't read the mechanical manuals full of engineering terms, now pretend to concentrate on reading, just find a reason to refuse to work.

I couldn't help but throw away the book, and it went on hard at this point, and it was really ugly, but I could still mumble.

“You've done a good job all these years, you've been on your own for a long time. Why do you need us old bones? We should have retired. ”

The complaint was not overwhelmed or heard, and Renee shook her head directly.

“At least you should know the recent changes in the North, and you are a real ‘prophet’, don't squeeze... I mean, please, it's kind of a waste. ”

The prophet? Well, that was the game of the League of Negligent Gentlemen, but I did have the ability to predict “history” in a way, but now that “history” has changed so much, there are not many things that can be “prophesied”.

“... don't expect me too much, especially from the North, to prophesy this thing, as long as it involves the prophet's own actions, it can't be done at all. The North and I are too deeply involved, and I don't know what to say. ”

This is not pure bullshit. The history of Jihad in the North was much more tragic than it is now. Without me and Cavins, there would naturally have been no Renaissance and Alliance for the Renaissance of the Langhua. After the demise of the Gulanghua, the strongest northern beasts were occupying that land directly in the north.

For more than 300 years, it was enough that they completely occupied the North, defeated the Moon Elf Kingdom of the North with counter-attacks from the underground world, and even earned the historic praise of the Orc Renaissance, until the demons swept over the entire surface before ending the final glory of the Orc of the North.

I'm not lying. The “history” of this piece is too much to do with me. It's long gone. What else can it predict?

Perhaps my phrase “if you don't believe in the Spirit, it won't work, you can count yourself out” is too much like that of a street astrologer. The little girl from the Soro Federation laughed directly. That smiling, oblique expression clearly does not believe at all.

It was Renee who, as usual, trusted me too much to hear me say no, not very firmly, smiling with a smile on her face, beating the snake on the stick.

“Then you promised us something, Katie. Keep reporting. ”

Thus, the year-round government official with a full face continued his debriefing.

“ ……. Winter food rose by more than 30 per cent in just a few days, there had been a domestic rush to buy, and the opinion of the joint meeting of the logistics ministers of the LAND countries was that our food reserves were still sufficient and that countries should open their national treasuries, balance prices and stabilize their hearts and minds. ”

Today's Lan Alliance is an alliance of dozens of nations, but the Lan people are too big a part of it, and Renee's voice is extremely high, and even if there is a consensus within the country, it is ultimately up to this uncrowned king to confirm it.

“I have looked at the stock data for food reserves, and with current consumption, the harvest is perfectly fine by next autumn. ”

Ivy Marzo's father, a Sorority MP, was also raised as a descendant of a statesman, and now works hard for Renee as a princess.

I saw all around me nodding, and Renee was about to give me permission, but I finally couldn't watch.

“No, not now. It's time to open all the warehouses and collect all the food. ”

As soon as I exited, I overthrew the decree that was almost ready, and all the politicians in the room looked at me, and there was no need to say much about the discontent and discomfort, there was no refutation on the spot, or perhaps I saw the reason before me.

“ ……. If I'm not mistaken, food prices will skyrocket for quite some time from now, and you haven't seen the latest news. San Antório, the continent's first food exporter, is caught in the jihad, and if their emperor's head doesn't go wrong, next year's export volumes, if not zero, will drop dramatically, and the surge in food prices is predictable. ”

The San Antonio Empire occupies the original sanctuary of origin of the Orcs, and it is said that next year it will be possible to harvest the golden plains of the wheat fields by sprinkling any wheat, while the annual grain will not only be sufficient for their domestic use, but also for the export of surplus natural resources.

Even if jihad did not affect San Antonio's production areas, agricultural exporters during the war, even if their own food was sufficient, would stockpile excess food crops as war reserves, and a massive decline in exports could be expected in the coming year.

“We have considered it, but our food imports are mainly in Bayer and Oran, and even food prices are subject to volatility and are expected to be able to cope. ”

As Renee's chief aide, Ivy, who was special to my judgment, did nothing to hide her dissatisfaction, and from the look on the faces of other administrators, they agreed with Ivy's judgment.

I have a few words jammed, not that I was persuaded, but I don't know how to explain people's disgust, traitors eating people, a large number of bad merchants are waiting to scramble goods, waiting for war wealth and national hardship, and it is not good to explain that no matter how they predict, they underestimate the intensity and duration of the jihad, as long as it lasts, food prices will naturally double again.

While the North has gained several excellent cold-resistant crops thanks to Emila's help, given the weather and marginal lands in the North, there has been a dramatic increase in the population since the formation of the Langham Alliance, and even though the cultivation of cold-resistant crops has been promoted for several years, the annual food gap remains high.

Of course, this can be solved. The last selected anti cold wheat, though a bit like cannibal flower, tastes a little strange and tastes like earth, is not a magical plant, it is not poisonous and harmless, it doesn't eat dead people.

Although mu production is low due to poor cultivation conditions, there is abundance of wasteland and labour in the North, so long as the area under cultivation goes up, food production goes up, and eventually a balance can be achieved. The wealthy, who have a single and uneven taste, naturally can buy food elsewhere.

For the Lan League official, picking food flavors is too luxurious to ensure that the poor North is not starving to death, which is already a great historical achievement.

Everyone knows that this is a big deal, and for the past eight years, young people who have applied every year to become farmers are the most honored, the number of fields around the city is skyrocketing, and the production of food in the North is indeed skyrocketing in geometric terms.

And it is this crazy year-by-year rise in food production that leaves these administrators misjudging the way forward, feeling that food will be self-sufficient only for a while, but I know that Jihad will not make it easy for them to survive that day. As long as Lan 'an still needs food imports, the countries of the North will have to store food on a large scale. Perhaps, when Jihad enters a period of white heat, there will be no food trading on the international market.

I silenced half the time and organized the speech.

“How do you ensure that next year neither Bayer nor Oran will be involved in jihad again? ”

“How is that possible...”

Halfway through the negative, Ivy was stunned to say how common sense could be such a coincidence, but thought that no one could make such a guarantee and no one could predict the process of jihad.

“Moreover, you may not have experienced a world of war-level warfare, a situation that, if a problem arises in food-producing countries, would have psychological implications for the entire international food market, with other countries beginning to acquire food rather than export it, and international food prices rising at a predictable rate. There may even be priceless situations. ”

The more I think about it, the more likely it is that there are no balanced international organizations in the world, and if transnational traitors and agents from national backgrounds really start firing food prices, it is possible that food will eventually become more expensive than gold.

“Well, then, let's decide, this year we're open to buying food instead of giving it away. ”

Renee made up her mind, but Ivy was in a hurry.

“But the shortage of food markets in the country and the lack of winter food can affect the hearts and minds of the people and cause panic. ”

Renee looked at me, and I shrugged my shoulders, and I was good at this, but it certainly wouldn't be the usual way to be peaceful and comfortable.

“30 percent increase in two days, no traitors fired. Do you believe that? Take out all the traitors, take out all the inventory and balance the price. By the way, if you can't handle this, throw it to the Dark Elves, they are good hands, make sure to grab one, grab one, even his ancestors for eighteen generations will explain clearly. ”

Obviously, this is not the usual way of dealing with it, randomly copying the rich merchants, more of a panic to the merchants, who may choose to relocate and transfer their property, infinitely in the long run, but...

“Now that it's war time, the peaceful way of dealing with it will only make the traitors look down on you, and kill the example of the chicken monkey is better than ever. Well, the feudal kingship era is convenient, and no need to find evidence for a family raid. ”

And the way I handled it so violently, I nodded Renee enlightened.

She knew that I was not a homicidal person, and I could even say that I was tired of killing, but at this time, with such a drastic approach, naturally for a reason, she guessed something.

“ ……. The North, too, will face war? ”

Since it was during the war, the more intense way to deal with it was understandable. I laughed when I heard Renee ask, and she, too young, despised the jihad that was about to sweep the whole spectrum.

“No, not that the North is about to face war, but that the whole world is already at war. Every race, every nation, every region, every individual, will face the test of war. You die, maybe I die, or go back to the final jihad. ”

Surprising words have been spoken out, and I don't care how they react. It doesn't matter if they believe it or think it's bullshit, but since they've spoken out, I'm also a little interested.

“Kid, keep debriefing. Let me see how you kids are doing. ”
