Chapter 218 Mr. Druid's leisurely life

Opening his eyes, Chen Yaogang appeared in the mansion with a refreshing spirit, with treasure-stuffing gems and storage rings in his hand. It was not difficult to transfer the warehouse. Just spend about one night, Chen Yaogang could clean up several rooms in his hiding place and arrange the warehouse reserves in an orderly manner.

Roger's mansion was not originally a planned long-term residence. For any adventurer who enters the Dark Exile Land - if he does not want to encounter monsters siege when he wakes up, because the "time of battle" is lower than the self-balancing standard of another world, resulting in loss of personal virtual wealth, developing a hiding place is a necessary task.

The hiding place is a fragment of another world (small privatized plane). A well-developed hiding place can be almost forever self-sufficient, and there will be no demons invasion when staying in the house forever.

Of course, most hiding places are so-called "Dream Fragments of the Creator God", because the first glance of observing the existence of the dream, they gain the authority of the world. Resource development in some places is not simpler than the present world, and Chen Yaogang does not want a large number of irrelevant and useless people to suddenly come into the hiding places.

"This is my territory."

Chen Yaogang turned and got out of bed. He had no wifi or virtual social places, and most of the time he could only live by reading books and writing letters.

Because there are abnormalities in the world line, the most important thing now is to confirm the local history so as not to have different backgrounds in the history of another world and the game background in memory, resulting in many misjudgments.

"According to the game setting, the plot of the first act is that the players and the protagonists of the plot find that the rain of chaos is coming, chasing the believers of the great demon and the pseudo-god Lord. Once Patty and others trigger the plot to go to the east, I will probably follow the footsteps of those people to go to the east and go to the main desert city in the second act to solve the problem."

Chen Yaogang walked out of the room and leaned against the warm fireplace. After completing the investigation task, the little bastards probably went out for a walk after the task was over, which made Chen Yaogang feel quiet.

Then, our Mr. Druid began to study the history of the empire and automatically deleted some chapters with too strong boastful nature.

The game background in most history and memory is exactly the same: When the Lion Empire was at its most powerful, it was the country with the widest area in the Eastern continent. In order to achieve the ideal of unifying the world, countless emperors were born and fell on this land. The ancient emperors even discovered some historical relics, built a huge sublimation trial maze, and selected their successors in a more open manner.

By the way, most emperors who took the initiative to play this routine were regarded as threats by their heirs after losing their throne, and tried every means to find excuses to throw them into the maze.

Although they have the power accumulated by the ancestors of history, there are many powerful people in the Lion Empire, the location of the Lion Empire itself is not suitable for sustainable development. Because the Eastern Mountains blocked the entry of moisture, the climate in the East became extremely harsh, which seriously affected the reproduction of the people.

In history, the destruction caused by magic wars and magical transformation environments is common. The barren landform that cannot be restored for hundreds of years has made the situation of the Lion Empire even more difficult. For this reason, expanding territory has become an unrestrained responsibility for every generation of emperors. Even if those who are just purely barbaric territorial invasion and resource plunder, this is the true appearance of human beings. People who have not been brainwashed by modern peaceful society will not think that invading other countries is a serious crime.

With the support of power and talent, the territory of the Lion Empire was very large for a period of time, but it quickly split and evolved into the separatist appearance of heroes in the world (to put it bluntly, the emperor did not cover the field, and huge mistakes of the ruling class occurred continuously, resulting in the dozens of newly unified nations re-split and returned to independence).

The cause of the decline of the Lion Empire was that the golden age of holding the Holy Sword had ended. The Lion Empire, which had lost the Holy Sword, lacked a strong leader. The army, which had been brainwashed by the concept of the heir of the Holy Sword, also caused later emperors to suffer from civil strife.

The second is because the Lion Empire made a fatal mistake.

The main territory of the Lion Empire is drought all year round, and water resources are relatively precious. Every generation of emperors will be overwhelmed by praying for rain. There are monsters of giant beast level under the barren sand. The abnormal activity of the earth veins will cause lake oasis to migrate and change, and people cannot settle down with peace of mind.

To this end, emperors of all dynasties have tried various methods, including but not limited to digging wells, digging of snow-capped water sources, and magical transformation. Some people even discussed whether they could blow up some mountains and artificially open up mountain water sources to make the east more humid.

Until a generation of emperors came up with a solution: build a huge reservoir, then use magic to extract moisture to create rain, and transport the water over the ocean with the power of a hurricane.

But what the emperor did not expect was that his operations laid the groundwork for the decline of the Lion Empire.

At the beginning of the period, this tactic was very useful. Water resources would not only become relatively cheap, but also be used to transform the vegetation environment of imperial land. It can also sell the saved water resources at a high price. There is a way that you should not drink a sip of water when traveling in the desert, or you should pay for it honestly.

With this kind of operation, the wealth of the Lion Empire has been accumulated quickly. After all, people will die if they don’t drink water. Most travelers will be blackmailed and then unlucky to admit defeat.

However, one year, the magical moisture compressed in the East Realm reached a critical burst point, and heavy rain began to fall from the sky when it was outside the plan.

The various cities in the eastern border of the Lion Empire did not notice any strange phenomena, but they were so happy to stock up on water and sell money. The emperor was happy to see it because even the magician's manual maintenance costs were waived, and this year's tax performance must be even more beautiful than last year.

But the regional rainstorm across the country was too heavy, so big that the reservoir was about to be full but it was still not over.

Some ministers advised the emperor to open the gate and release water so as to prevent the water storage from exceeding the designed capacity of the reservoir and causing unpredictable structure to collapse.

However, most royal nobles disagree. Reservoirs everywhere are their source of gold income. Every drop of water during the drought is a desperately expensive existence. Letting them open the gate and release water is like letting them bleed on their necks, almost taking their lives.

Under the strong opposition of royal nobles and some wealthy nobles, the Lion Empire began to urgently repair the water supply by continuously building up reservoir dams to increase the rainwater capacity. Anyway, once the rain stops, the environment becomes boring and dry again, and the water can be exchanged for real money and silver. Who would be willing to let these resources go in vain?

Until the harm of magical disasters finally exceeded the limit of the royal family's greed: this time the rainfall was nearly hundreds of times the regular rainfall every year, and floods broke out across the country. The Lion Empire, which had no experience in flood response and no drainage structure design, completely turned into a vast ocean.

A large amount of rainwater enters the desert, forming a water-rich layer in the upper sandy and soil area, causing floods to fail to drain quickly, mixed with mud and sand, debris and causing greater damage.

Not only were the farmland and houses washed away by floods, but the animal husbandry and mining industry suffered heavy losses. Many people were helpless in the desert flood tide. The Lion Empire, which occupied a large amount of sand, did not even prepare for refuge ships, and most people could not swim. They could only watch countless people fall into mud, their mouths and noses were blocked, and then drowned alive.

No one would have thought that floods could also erupt in a water-deficient desert, and it could reach the point where people could drown.

Even the magician could not fight against the huge waves like the entire ocean. The act of barely defending the royal city with barriers was exchanged for the eternal grudges of other lords.

Since then, the population has dropped sharply, and the Lion Empire, which has a vicious cycle of land desertification, has gradually begun to a increasingly awkward path of decline.

Chen Yaogang took a sip of the broth: "The other world is indeed a bit different from the game background, and bragging must be a degree. The mysterious legend of the Holy Sword King splitting mountains and creating rivers has finally been harmoniously eliminated. You can split everything out. This is simply a mythical bragging style."

"But after such a fatal operation, it is not surprising that the Lion Empire has fallen into decline. Even in previous lives, there are still many ancient countries with unknown reasons for the destruction in history. They can trace their origins and find the truth about human traces and destiny. Perhaps this is the sad charm of the historical discipline..."
