"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?" Now their leader is controlled by me, and I should take the initiative.

"Stop pretending, you are very happy to harm the great princess yesterday, right? Let me tell you, we will not give up easily. The Fountain of Life must be our worship of Yet, and you Rosta should not be involved."

Unexpectedly, I met a representative of one of the countries as soon as I came in. With a move, the half-month brush that was pressing against their heads and necks flew back behind me. "Don't be excited, we are not the people from Rosta. We happened to pass by here by chance. You guys were forced to fight back."

Wentian also walked out and said, "That's right, I'm just standing there, you rush up and chop. We can't stand and wait for death, right?"

When the other party heard this, he immediately put away the weapon, and the person who led the lead said embarrassedly: "I'm so sorry. We have almost never been passers-by here. You are wearing armor and weapons, and you don't have the badge of our Baiyeth on them, so we treat you as Rosta people. I'm so sorry, I apologize for my recklessness."

Fortunately, these people are quite reasonable. "It's okay, it's a misunderstanding. By the way, it seems that you have a deep hatred with the people in Rosta?"

"This happened hundreds of years ago. Our two countries have been in disagreement and have never stopped fighting each other."

"Oh. So that's how it is." I looked at Wentian.

Wentian immediately guessed what I meant and knew that I would like to use these people to understand the situation here. He took the initiative to ask a question and said, "Are there many people in Rosta Country? I heard what you said just now that the city suffered a loss. What princesses are there?"

The leader in front looked a little ugly after hearing this, but he was not angry but sad. A man behind him replied: "The population of Rosta is only more than 100,000, which is not much greater than us. However, their knight troops are relatively powerful, but fortunately our archers are also very powerful, and the strength of both sides is basically the same."

He didn't answer the question of that princess, probably not a good thing, and I didn't want to continue asking. "Then why are you fighting? You won't be so bored that you don't like it, right?"

"Of course not." This time it was the leader who said: "The grudge between us is for the fountain of life."

This name sounds very awesome. Is this spring water very precious? There are quite a few jars and jars on me. If they are very precious, put a few jars and jars back. "Is the spring of life very precious?"

"Of course. Everyone here will die without her."

"So powerful? That spring water must be special and has a very powerful effect?"

"No, that's just ordinary water."

"Ordinary water?" Wentian asked in surprise: "What are you robbing ordinary water?"

"You are outsiders and don't know what's going on here." A younger person in the other team replied: "There is a problem with the land here, and I don't know why all the water cannot be drunk. The water from ponds, rivers, and wells can be washed and planted, but it is not allowed to drink. Drinking a small amount will cause dyspnea and temporary blindness and other poisoning reactions, and drinking a large amount will cause death immediately."

I asked in surprise: "Don't tell me that you two countries rely on drinking that spring water? How much water do hundreds of thousands of people have to drink?"

"No, no, that spring water is not that much. The water volume of the Spring of Life is very small, only about two barrels per month. And it is fixed on that day and suddenly flows out, but there is no drop in it."

"How can a little water be enough?"

"The Spring of Life is not for drinking directly. Its function is to detoxify. We put all ordinary water into a large pool and add the Spring of Life so that all the water in this pool can be drunk."

Wentian guessed: "Although this spring water can detoxify, it must reach a certain proportion to be effective, right?"

"Yes. That's it. Every time we send someone to the spring when the spring is about to erupt, we will drink water at the spring as long as we can get the spring water next month."

"But the country of Rosta also wants water. They always grab water with you? That's why you often fight, right?"

"right."

The situation is clear now. There is no essential conflict between the two countries. The only problem is the water source. As long as there is water, the two countries will not fight again, but I will not produce water. By the way, "Have you ever considered rainwater?"

"Who said there was no!" The person who led the lead said: "Thanks to the fact that the rainwater can be drunk directly, otherwise we would have died of thirst by the purified water of the spring water. However, the rainwater here is unstable, sometimes it will not be over for several days, and sometimes there will be no drop of water for several months, so no one dares to just count on rainwater!"

"What water do your horses drink?" Wentian noticed that the other party had a mount, and there were not enough people to drink, and the horses had to be divided, that's all.

"The animals here are not afraid of poisonous water. Only humans cannot do it, so livestock can still be raised. However, the blood of all livestock is the same as poisonous water. It doesn't matter if there are too many, and it will cause people to die."

"Did you pay attention to the plants here? The animals may know what to eat to fight toxins?"

"We've experimented a long time ago. We only gave a few horses a few flour, but they were still not afraid of toxins, which means it's not because the plant they eat can detoxify."

"Have you tried distilled water?" Wentian actually came up with such a ghost solution.

"Ah? What kind of distillation is steamed?" These people don't know what distillation means.

I explained: "It is to boil the water and then collect the water vapor with iron plates, so that the impurities in the water can be removed. It is generally very effective in dealing with toxic or dirty water."

"Oh! You guys say foggy? We have also tried it. No, the water collected is still toxic."

It seems that the toxic substances in water are substances that can evaporate and condense together with water, and high temperatures cannot destroy the structure of this substance. Wentian also understood the same thing, and he pushed me and said, "It seems to be organic toxins, and I have never heard of chemical toxins that cannot be distilled off."

I said to those people: "We want to help you, maybe we have a way to solve the water problem and can we take us to your city?"

"Yes, come with us."

A few people were easy to talk to, and they even gave us two. But the leader finally added: "Although we can entertain you, drinking water may not be available. All drinking water here is rationed. Given to you means that someone has no water to drink."

Wentian immediately said nervously: "Oh no, Zi Ri, how much water did you bring? I only have half a bag of water. I don't usually leave the city, so I usually don't bring too much water."

"Don't worry, I brought a lot of them. They poured out enough for you to drive the boat. You can't finish them in a year." Because the space bracelet is big, I carry some consumables such as medicines, drinking water, food, torches, crossbows, and various scrolls.

After following them on the road, I didn't ride a horse with Wentian. The horse was much smaller than Yeying. If I rode with Wentian, I would definitely hug him. I was not used to getting too close to men. Fortunately, I still have wings, so there would be no problem when I fly. The people in front were surprised by my colorful wings, but they didn't say anything. It was not a strange thing to see non-human creatures in this era of magic.

According to them, our destination is the only city in the country of Baiyeth - the Philharmonic. There are only a total of more than 100,000 people in Baiyeth, and half of them are in this city, but despite this, this Philharmonic is still not big. Think about a city with only tens of thousands of people, can it be considered a big city?

The cities I saw from afar were much larger than I expected. It was a bit strange that the city inhabited by tens of thousands of people was so huge. When I got nearby, I found something wrong. There were many giant buildings in the city that occupied more than half of the city's area, and these buildings did not seem to be used for people to live in.

These large buildings are as high as ten meters, and the top width is more than ten meters. Such a huge thing is really strange. The shape of these things is also very strange, as if a parasol was turned over, with an umbrella like a big pot on the top, and a circular base at the bottom is grounded, which looks like a satellite antenna.

The person who brought us here explained: "These are rain warehouses. When it rains, the rain water will be gathered in the center by those big pots. There is a hole there, and the rain water will flow into the water tank below to store it. This is the lifeline here."

"It turns out to be something that collects rainwater!" Now I understand why so many big guys are built in the city. In fact, not only in the city, but almost all the areas near the city are full of these things. The potential for survival is really great.

"You are here to wait. We are the patrol guards and cannot take you everywhere. I will inform the king that someone will entertain you."

"Thank you." Wentian and I both fell to the ground.

After the captain ran away, many people around him surrounded him. It seemed that the conditions here were quite difficult. People were all wearing rough linen clothes and were very worn, which felt like they were putting sacks on their bodies. Looking around, these people found that there was indeed a lot of water here. Almost everyone's lips were a little peeling, which was obviously caused by thirst.

The captain came back soon, and there was a knight with him. This man was much better equipped and seemed to have a higher status. The captain said goodbye to us, and the knight saluted us and said, "I am the captain of the Royal Guard. The king wants to meet you, come with me."

Wentian and I followed the captain into the city and walked a short distance to the palace. In fact, it is better to say that it is a larger courtyard than a magnificent palace. Not to mention that it is a magnificent and magnificent building, these buildings are not even luxurious at all. A three-story stone building covers an area of ​​thousands of square meters, which is the palace. Think about it, it is also hard here, and even if you have the labor, you will build that kind of rainwater collector. Whoever has the heart to build a house, drinking water is definitely more important than housing.

I was startled when I entered the room. The house that looked dilapidated outside was not the case at all. If I didn’t know, I would definitely regard this place as a crystal palace. Almost everything in the room was crystal. Is it said that this place is rich in crystals?

The captain of the guard took us to the door of a room and stopped, knocking on the amethyst gate. "Your Highness, the guest is here."

A voice came from inside: "Bring them in."

The captain pushed open the door, and the light in the room made my eyes blurry. The room behind the door was even more exaggerated than outside. A large number of crystal objects of various colors reflected light of different colors, making people unable to open their eyes. After barely adapting to the light, they saw the super beautiful crystal throne. The main part of the thing was transparent white crystal, and there were countless gems of various colors and some gold inlaid on it. The most beautiful one was the backrest of the throne, which was a crystal falcon with spreading its wings to fly. It was so beautiful.

I stared at the chair for a long time before I noticed that the old man sitting on the throne was mainly because the chair was so dazzling. "Are you two guests from other places?"

"Hello Your Highness, we are adventurers from a distant place." I opened the bracelet and flipped out ten giant wooden barrels one person high from inside. This was originally a freshwater storage barrel used on the ship. Later, when new warships were built, they were replaced with water storage compartments, and this thing was useless. I thought it was a pity that they were all used to load water for easy carrying. "Your Highness, these barrels are clean water that can be consumed directly. I heard that you are very short of water. This is a gift for you." A barrel is worth 1 gold coin, which is 1 RMB. The water is from the river, so it doesn't cost. It's only 10 yuan for ten barrels of water. What a cheap gift!

As the saying goes, things are precious because they are scarce. The old king's eyes were straight when he saw such a big bucket. When he heard that it was purified water, his eyes immediately became a slit. "The guests from afar are so grateful for your gift. On behalf of my people, I thank you for your gift." The old king was pretending to be majestic there just now, and immediately became enthusiastic when he saw this gift. The highest level of gift giving is to give what others want most, rather than giving what you think is the most expensive thing.

The guards coming up next to them couldn't move such a large bucket. Later, I helped them put the bucket down and pushed the bucket together and rolled it away. The old king was even happier when the buckets were so heavy. This bucket was two and a half tons, and ten barrels of water were 25 tons. How could he not be happy? But the king seemed to have a big appetite. "The noble guest seemed to have brought a lot of water, I wonder if it was okay..."

"I have heard about the situation here. This little water is definitely not enough. I also brought a lot of water here. I should have taken the initiative to support you, but the water was to be sold to a desert country, so I can't give it all to you. And I also cooperated with others to operate. The 10 barrels of my dividends have been given out just now. I can't give it to others with gifts! But if you are willing to buy it, I can make a decision to even out part of it for you." My gift was not for nothing, I thought I was giving it for 25% of it!

"This...!" The old fox, only wanted benefits but did not do anything. After thinking for a long time, he nodded and said, "I wonder how many you have?"

"Just like the two and a half tons of water buckets just now, I still have 200 barrels, but I can't sell them all to you. It's up to 120 barrels. This is the limit for me to decide." Hehe, in fact, I have more than 400 barrels here, and I can only get the best benefits if I report less points. It's hard to sell them all.

"So many?" The old king was a little surprised, but after all, he was the king and quickly calmed down. "What do you want to trade with?"

I looked around. "It seems that the output of gems and crystals is very rich? How about using crystals and gems?" Exchange the things that are most lacking here for the most things. This is the king of transactions. If they really produce crystals, it will not be too valuable. If you don't have money to exchange for crystals, this business is good! Regardless of whether this task can be completed, as long as the transaction is done, the trip will be worth it.

Wentian whispered to me, "I know why the benefits of your guild are so good now."

I replied in a low voice: "This is called a business mind. As a result, I have many people asking for money. I always remember to scrap money!"

The king had already thought about it. "Yes. But how do you plan to change it?"

"This is hard to say. I want to see the crystal color here first."

"Come on! Show the guests all the gems and crystals produced here."

The king said that the people below were busy immediately. A group of maids dragged the tray to me. The trays in their hands were covered with various gems and crystals. I looked at them one by one and found that they were all top-notch. Not only were they very shiny, but they were also very large. What surprised me the most was that there were magic crystals inside.

"Your Highness, these gems are good, I want to do this. Use a big balance to weigh it. How about I exchange ten tons of water for one ton of crystals, and 20 tons of water for one ton of gems?"

"Is this too expensive?" The king was also a sloppy man and actually bargained with me. "I see twenty tons of water per ton of crystals, fifty tons of water per ton of gems are almost the same."

I deliberately pretended to be very angry and said, "Your Highness. I didn't offer a false price. This is the lowest price. If you think you can afford it, I will sell it. If you don't, I will leave. Anyway, I have contacted the buyer. This cube was originally intended to be sent to the desert country to save lives. People can wait for me with gems and gold." Do not stick to me when doing business. The more anxious you are to promote others, the more bargaining you, the more you will be able to sell it. Anyway, the gift just now costs only 10 yuan, and I am not afraid of the business if it fails. At worst, you can go to Rosta Country. There must be a shortage of water there. Who wouldn't you sell it?

"Don't be excited, just follow your words. Isn't it okay if we bought it?"

"That would be great."

The king said, "But guests, I hope you can sell a little more. We have so many citizens, this little water is not enough!"

"120 barrels are the limit."

"The people of Baiyeth beg you, so sell us more, right?" The king began to pretend to be pitiful.

I pretended to be thinking and struggled for a long time before saying, "Okay! At the price just now, I will sell all 200 barrels to you."

"Oh! Thank you for your eternal friend."

"Stop it. Don't be happy for now. I have the conditions."

"Please say, as long as we can do it."

I looked at his throne. "Your throne looks very beautiful..."

"This throne?" The king was a little surprised. "But this is a symbol of royal power!"

"You misunderstood. I don't want this, but I hope you can help me build a similar throne. Such a large crystal is not easy to find elsewhere."

“No problem.”
