Chapter 1183 Solve the Problem

"Are you crazy? Do you know what you're talking about!"

"I thought I was crazy, and you are even more crazy!"

As soon as Barton's words fell, the three legendary mages over there couldn't sit still completely, and the three stood up from their chairs. In particular, Master Carter yelled: "Do you want the civilization of the entire world to go back to primitive times? Are you going to kill everyone? Do you know what it means to burn all the food in the mortal country? Then It's a massacre! Massacre tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people! Crazy, you are all crazy."

"Without food, how can those people survive!" Carter couldn't believe that such words would come from one of the five legendary mages.

Facing the righteous indignation of the three people, Carl and Patton seemed to be godlike, and Barton didn't speak until the three of them finished scolding and got tired of cursing.

"Okay, the three of you are all tired from cursing. Sit down and rest for a while." Barton waved his hand, conjuring a bottle of wine and several wine glasses out of thin air, and with another wave of his hand, the wine glasses in front of them were all filled. up wine.

"Don't get excited, just listen to me slowly. Do you think the current situation is very good? List it and go to the mortal country to make statistics. It is a foregone conclusion that the world's grain production will be reduced by one-third this year. At least there are One-third of the people will go hungry, one-seventh of them will be extremely hungry and may even die of starvation, and one-fifth of them will be half-starved. And we have developed an antidote for leaf blight There has been no progress."

"Carter, you have been researching dead leaf disease all along. You have a deep knowledge of plants, so we have given you all the research resources on dead leaf disease. Our research laboratories are considered to be good for you. Free support. But are you sure that you will be able to develop an antidote to leaf blight within three years?"

Barton stared at Carter, but Carter didn't speak, because he really wasn't sure that he would be able to hand over the antidote within three years. No answer is the best answer.

Barton continued: "Without an antidote within three years, the dead leaf disease will continue to spread. The monarchs and nobles of the Seventeen Kingdoms are not completely obedient to us. They will be lucky and hide the sick farmland , Leaf blight will continue to infect. We have found the best way to stop leaf blight since three years ago."

"That is to find that one batch is burned. If the fields are overfired, the virus of the dead leaf disease will be killed. If the mortal kings followed our advice and implemented a strict field burning policy three years ago, now the dead leaves will be destroyed. The leaf disease is gone."

What Barton said made sense, and the other four legendary mages nodded frequently. Lack of prevention and control, a fluke mentality, and unforgivable interests are the reasons why dead leaf disease eventually spread to the whole continent.

"If we don't take measures, do you think it will get better in the future?" Barton's words are simply a question of the soul, and no one can answer this question.

Barton shook his head and asked himself: "No, human nature is like this. Now that they eat less and less, they will not resolutely isolate and burn crops infected with dead leaf disease. This will only spread the dead leaf disease. The area is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more fertile fields with reduced yields or even no harvests! This year, the yield is reduced by one-third, so what about next year? Can you guarantee that the yield will be reduced by half? What about the year after? Will there be only three percent left? One of the harvest?"

Ice and Snow Lady Ariel murmured, "It's not...not..."

"Don't say it can't be Ariel. Human nature is like this. Now we have fallen into a trap. If we don't take action, it will be like a slow knife cutting flesh and bleeding on our world. It hurts but dies in a short time No, I can still live on. But if you continue to cut and bleed, you will be completely finished one day! So we have to take action!"

Carter listened to Barton's words, and he muttered: "So your action is to burn all the good fields in the mortal kingdom?"

"No!" Barton stood up and slapped the table violently: "To be precise, I want to burn all the fields of barley, wheat, potatoes, legumes, and all root crops in the mortal world. We have been researching for so many years. , It has been found that leaf blight only spreads on this type of major food crops. We have not yet figured out the origin and formation of the cause. But we know that as long as this type of farmland is removed, leaf blight will not Spreads on green leafy vegetables and fruit trees."

"Human monarchs are unwilling to be ruthless, so let us do it. Someone must make a decision. I don't want to burn all the brains. Those farmlands that are 100% safe can still be kept. As long as there is a fire, it will be destroyed. Virus. Then we can plant crops next year and we will have a good harvest!" Barton seemed to have very detailed implementation steps for his plan.

But Carter objected: "You are crazy, do you know that if you burn all these farmlands, if you don't have a good harvest this year, how many people will starve next year?"

Barton, the Lord of Evil Spirits, had eagle eyes: "I know. Not only Li Lie is investigating in the whole continent, Carl and I are also investigating." He pointed to the element messenger beside him.

"In fact, the human kingdom is not completely devoid of grain. In fact, some big nobles, big merchants, and royal families have more grain than you can imagine. Burn all the farmland this year, and point to their grain, fruit, fishing and hunting harvest next year, and energy Make sure the crops are saved, and at most one in five people in the world will starve to death."

"In this way, we only need to suffer for one to two years at most, and our mainland can slowly recover. All mages must be mobilized to take action. This is our self-help plan. Otherwise, we mages will not be able to survive alone!"

Luo Lie shook his head: "You're too optimistic, what if those big nobles and royal families don't open their warehouses?"

Button said succinctly: "Kill them all."

Carter and Ariel looked at each other, and they both saw the shock of this plan in each other's eyes.

"Barton, well, I have to admit that what you said makes sense. But one-fifth of the people starve to death... If calculated based on the total population of each country, then nearly 60 million people will starve to death!"

"So what? Five million people are doomed to starve to death this year, not counting those who died in the wars caused by food looting." Barton responded coldly: "Cut the meat with a sharp knife, and the meat cut with one knife has a lot of wounds. It hurts a lot. But digging out the carrion will give us the hope of being reborn. Go back and think about it carefully. I need the support of all of you, and I need to mobilize all the mages to carry out such a plan."

Button left the table, followed by Carl.

Luo Lie stood up and sighed: "What Barton said is not completely unreasonable. The difference between early death and late death is at least better than everyone dying together."

Ariel also sighed and went home silently, she needed to calm down and think.

Carter didn't know how he got back to his tower. When his servant Ah Fu came to his side and whispered to himself: "Master, there are special guests here today."

Carter also waved his hand without interest in response: "I'm not in the mood to meet guests today, let them go, and come back another day."

"Master, it's different. It's Young Master Qin who's back!"

As soon as Ah Fu finished speaking, Carter had already disappeared in front of his eyes. The next moment, in the living room of Carter's Mage Tower, Carter saw his disciple Feng Meier drinking and chatting with someone holding a glass of wine. And the person who drank with him was none other than his disciple Qin Kuairen who had disappeared for nine years!

"Xiao Qin!" Carter couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. When he was about to give his beloved disciple a big hug, Qin Kuairen said directly when he saw the teacher Carter: "Teacher! In the future, it may be able to solve the food problem and the dead leaf disease problem in the mainland!"
