Start As a Lord In a Viscount

,

At this time, the sun is already hanging in the center. I don't know if it's because of the depletion of the river or because of psychological effects. People standing on the bank now feel a dry heat that is far drier than usual.

The breeze was blowing, and the face turned into a heat wave.

The villagers present were all sweaty, and their clothes were wet. At the same time, they looked anxiously at the top of the river, looking forward to the sudden arrival of the river.

"How long would it last without river water?" Claire asked, wondering how long it would take at least to solve the problem.

The village chief immediately replied: "Some days with high water consumption will die. Wheat, which is relatively drought-tolerant, can last longer, but now is the heading period, if water is not timely, it may lead to large production reduction.”

"But don't worry, Lord Viscount, it's just that the river is depleted. There is still water in the well in our village. If you mobilize everyone to fetch water, it should be able to last longer."

Claire nodded, but this is not a long-term solution, not to mention that the wells in the village are far away from the farmland, and several people in a family can rush back and forth all day to finish watering their farmland, and this is not the case for these people. It is another burden for the villagers. The most important thing is that most of the wells are groundwater. Now the rivers in this viscounty are depleted. If a lot of groundwater is used, there may be a possibility of landslides, which is also a hidden danger.

Claire said softly, "Well, that's all for now."

As a result, the village chief began to mobilize the villagers, went back to their homes to get buckets, and gathered at the wells in the village to start fetching water.

Claire was bored by the river and went over to look at it.

The peasant woman has less strength, and can only stagger forward with a bucket in both hands. The man has more strength and can lift a bucket full of water with one hand.

Claire watched from the side, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and her brows wrinkled unconsciously.

The village chief on the side saw Claire's frowning brows, "What's the matter, Lord Viscount?"

Claire touched her nose and looked more closely. The village women and men were carrying buckets and seemed to be fine, but she always felt that something was wrong.

After pursing her lips and thinking for a while, Claire finally found the place where she felt awkward.

"Do you always draw water like this?"

The village chief was also puzzled, "Ah? Is there anything wrong with this?"

Claire tilted her head and asked suspiciously, "Don't you have a pole?"

"What is a pole?" The village chief was also confused. He had never heard of these two words since he was born.

Claire slapped her forehead, and then she remembered that the western world doesn't seem to have used the poles very much. They are habitually carrying them on their heads or directly with their hands like this.

"It's just a long, flat stick with nails on both sides, and then it can be used to lift water."

Seeing that the village chief was still confused, Claire didn't bother to explain, so he asked Hunter to give him his accessories and cut out a pole on the spot.

Then he walked in front of a peasant woman and handed it over: "Use this thing to mention it."

Then she briefly demonstrated how to use it. The peasant woman picked up the two buckets according to Claire's teaching. Her expression was full of surprise and excitement. It was a little unsteady at first, but after a few more steps, it improved a lot. .

"This thing is very useful. It's much easier than carrying it by hand." The peasant woman explained to the surrounding villagers.

Afterwards, Claire asked the accompanying knights to bring their swords, cut out more poles, and let the hurricane pull up the ox cart filled with buckets and walked towards the farmland that needed irrigation.

Seeing that the villagers were too slow to lift water, they simply walked to the well and cast a spell to extract the well water from the well and poured it into the bucket, which greatly improved the efficiency.

The villagers showed happy smiles on their faces, but Claire's brows still did not open. The poles did improve a lot of efficiency, but for such a large water consumption, it was simply a drop in the bucket.

And this is only a problem of water use in one village. It would be better if I had myself here. The situation in other villages may be worse.

The Shuiyun Beast, who had been sleeping on Claire's shoulder, seemed to have woken up after feeling Claire's emotions, so it flew up and rubbed against Claire's face, and there was concern in the spiritual connection.

Claire stretched out her hand to hold the Shuiyun Beast, and rubbed its little face with her thumb, "I'm fine, you can play by yourself first, and I'll find you later when I'm done."

The water cloud beast floated up again, flying around Claire several times, and became anxious.

The villagers were surprised when they saw the cloud-shaped water cloud beast. They had never seen such a magical creature.

The water cloud beast's gaze also shifted from Claire's body to the villagers, and after flying a few laps in the sky to see the situation at the scene, he finally understood what happened.

Finally, he threw himself on Claire's body and stuck it a few times.

"Okay, okay! Go and play first, I'll play with you later." Claire advised.

The water cloud beast suddenly looked back at Claire, his eyes were full of determination, and his emotions also conveyed a firm belief, and then plunged into the well.

Claire was stunned. Didn't he say he would play with you later? Why did you jump into the well without saying a word! Are you a honey glider? !

Claire quickly stopped casting spells, lying in the well and looking in, the depth of the well was pitch black and it was impossible to see what was going on.

Claire condensed a fireball and just wanted to throw it in to see the situation in the Qingshui Well, but remembered that the water cloud beast still crushed the fireball inside, and rummaged through the space ring.

"Magic scroll! I forgot whether there is any magic scroll for Illumination. Who would learn the magic of that kind of church. Damn, go back and learn Illumination!" Claire scolded while rummaging. In general, the effect of fireball can replace lighting, so if you are not an adventurer, few mages will learn this tasteless spell.

As for the church's light art, although it also has the effect of lighting, it is more of a soothing effect.

Before Claire could find a useful magic scroll, there was an abnormal noise from the well.

"rumble!"

"What's the sound?" Claire leaned over beside the well, squeezed out an exploration spell, and threw it in.

"Fuck, something is coming up!"

Claire took a step back. According to the content of the magic feedback, that thing is much bigger than the water cloud beast.

And the sound from the well became even louder.

Claire shouted: "Everyone stand back!"

The knights on the side reacted quickly, and immediately surrounded and protected Claire. The villagers did not die, and obeyed Claire's command to retreat.

"thump!"

A dingy black thing came out of its head, and a pair of familiar huge eyes looked towards Claire.

Claire narrowed her eyes and looked at the thing in front of her~www.wuxiahere.com~ and also confirmed the identity of the other party from the spiritual connection, which is the water cloud beast that just jumped off.

The water cloud beast squeezed out of the well, but instead of rushing towards Claire, it slowly floated up, and there were still black clouds gushing out from the well.

After several minutes, the body of the water cloud beast finally squeezed out of the well.

At this time, a dark cloud appeared in the sky, and that was the water cloud beast that had turned black. Claire could feel the surrounding air becoming humid, and then suddenly came over and understood why the water cloud beast just wanted to Jump into the water.

It's just... I haven't heard that you have this skill before? Suddenly jumping into the well, I thought you were going to die. Claire couldn't help smiling.

"Xixi!"

The sky fell and the drizzle fell, and the peasants who used to work also dropped their agricultural tools and opened their hands to greet the falling raindrops.

"Go to the farmland and then go down, don't waste water!" Claire shouted towards the water cloud beast in the air.
