Chapter 296 [0293] Adaptation and Progress

Nashrami has not been peaceful recently.

But no matter how turbulent this city is, thousands of miles away, it has nothing to do with Lux and Ino, who are trudging through the desert for the time being.

After a few days of journey, both Lux and Ino were already disgraced.

Although Ino can make ice, considering that it is not easy to make ice in the desert, just the ice cubes that are used to feed Scarash every day and provide cooking and drinking water for the two of them are already quite a heavy burden for her.

In this case, if you want to make ice and melt water for a bath, you may have to force Ino to overdraw his magic power - and considering that in such an extreme environment, overdrawing his magic power is very likely to be fatal, so at most two people can do it. When setting up camp at night, just dip a towel in water and wipe your body.

Lux is a noble lady.

Although Ino is a farm girl and has to do farm work, she also cares about her personal hygiene after doing the work.

Therefore, the two of them are more or less uncomfortable with this kind of life now.

But...you have to adapt even if you don't adapt.

"If you definitely want to take a bath, there are two ways." Kalya gave a hint slowly, "Either expect a heavy rain, or find an oasis."

"Is there still heavy rain in the desert?" Ino asked curiously, "I can feel that there is almost no water here?!"

"Of course it will rain, and it will rain heavily!" Kalya explained with a smile, "Actually, the problem of the desert has never been the lack of precipitation - the biggest problem of the Dashai Desert is that the water here cannot be stored. After a rain, the water will seep under the gravel within half a day.”

"Can it still be like this?"

"Of course - if you master earth and stone magic, you can probably find moist soil by digging down a hundred or ten yards." Kalya continued to explain, "In the Shurima Empire era, the empire once built many almost vertical roads. There are underground culverts that run through the entire continent, and abundant groundwater is led to various villages and towns, forming oases dotted here and there. It is a pity that from now on, those great projects have been completely abandoned..."

When talking about this topic, Kalya's tone seemed to be a bit melancholy - and after hearing him talk about "the underground culverts that run through the continent of Shurima", Lux thought of the man she had seen during simulation training. I have been there, the little girl who can stir up rocks in the ground.

She is Kalya's student, right?

Could it be that she built the underground culvert that Kalya mentioned?

However, seeing that Kalya seemed a little disappointed, Lax did not ask this question.

Although the old guy Kalya seems to be becoming more and more rude recently, Lux is still willing to be considerate of her poor teacher.

……………………

It seems that because he talked about the underground ditch, during the night class session that night, Kalya rarely talked about some historical topics of the Shurima Empire - of course, the main content was about the public works of the Shurima Empire.

While Lux was listening to Kalya's story, she was also silently thinking about whether there was anything available in Demacia.

Well, Demacia is rich in water resources, and it seems that there is no need for water conservation and diversion projects such as underground ditches.

However, maybe the puppet-type harvester that Kalya mentioned can be promoted after Demacia's magic is normalized?

There is also the breeding project, which is also a top priority - carefully cultivated plants can serve as the cornerstone of an emerging technology!

It seemed that because she listened too carefully to the lecture at night and kept thinking, during the daytime the next day, Lux, who was wearing a thick cloak and sleeping on Scarash's broad back, slept particularly soundly.

Unlike the past few days, when she slept restlessly and dreamily, and woke up from time to time, Lux slept very deeply today - even when she woke up, she was woken up by Ino.

"Um...what happened?" Lifting the gauze covering her face to protect her face from the sun and wind, Lux blinked and looked at Ino with some discomfort, "What time is it?"

"It was just after noon." Ino took out his pocket watch and took a look. "Just now, I was awakened by a feeling of being spied on. Teacher Kalya asked me to wake you up too."

Hearing "being spied on", Lux's sleepiness disappeared in an instant. She stood up on the back of the broad Scarash, put up a pergola with her hands and looked around, but what she saw was only long stretches of yellow sand, and there was no spying at all. own people.

Is there something wrong with Ino's feelings?

Just when Lux hesitated, an indescribable feeling came over her. At this moment, she seemed to faintly feel the eyes that seemed to be real glanced over her body, and then disappeared carefully - she tried He tried to find the source and destination of this gaze, but after looking around, he found nothing.

"It's really strange." Lux narrowed her eyes, "This is not an illusion, but I didn't find anything... Kalya, do you have any clues?"

"Let Scarash stop and pay attention to the ground." Kalya said concisely and concisely, "Sometimes, spying does not necessarily require eyes."

Lux immediately understood what Kalya meant. She jumped forward and came to Scarash's strong neck. She stretched out her hand and pulled its ears while gently comforting the beast that was moving forward steadily.

After a few breaths, Skarash stopped - it seemed that it did not understand what its master meant, or it also sensed this sense of being watched. After standing still, the giant beast did not relax and ruminate, but slightly shook its head and looked around.

Lux leaned out from behind Skarash and looked at the gravel on the ground.

However, along the way, the sand on the ground seemed to be no different, and it did not look like something had dug underneath.

It was really strange... There were no birds flying in the sky, no traces of digging underground, and no living creatures within the field of vision. Where did this strange sense of being watched come from?

Suddenly, Lux remembered what Karya had told her last night about the ditches that the Shurima Empire had built - what if the underground voyeur did not dig a tunnel, but quietly sneaked along the ditch deep underground?

Realizing this, Lux quickly searched in her bag and soon found the device to determine her position.

After finding the right level, she roughly determined her current location through the positioning of the sun and time, then spread out the map and marked this point with a pencil.

After doing all this, Lux finally held her sword again.

"Karya, is there a ditch from the Shurima Empire era underground here?"

Facing Lux's question, Karya said with a very gratified tone: "Congratulations, you got it right - there should be a ditch passing through here, and the peeper you sensed is likely related to Bakay."

Karya's small class · Super Project of the Shurima Empire:

The Shurimans now miss the former Shurima Empire. A large part of their willingness is that the super project built by the Shurima Empire at the time allowed people from all over Shurima to live well - even today, even if there are many ditches that are not maintained by anyone, as long as they are not destroyed by war, they can still play a good role.

PS. I grabbed the sofa myself, there is no fourth chapter, I'm going to sleep first.

There is no chapter these days, but it will be in two days.
