Another world, I have an elf magician

Randy's perspective:

"Raincaster?"

"Yes, we are in urgent need of a rainfall engineer here to help us solve the drought. There is currently a shortage of water resources in the city. Most of the water we use comes from other towns. For example, you use carriages to transport buckets of water. "

I was surprised by Baron Crohn in front of me and asked: "Then...how long have you been in drought?"

Crohn replied: "It has been more than half a year. Even if it didn't rain here before, we could still draw groundwater for use. There are many wells in the city, so water resources are not scarce."

"But suddenly one day, not only did it stop raining, but the groundwater also gradually dried up. People's lives were faced with great difficulties."

"Coupled with the recent outbreak of the epidemic, it really makes people feel desperate!"

I touched my chin and said, "Rainfall magic is not difficult. You can use it as long as you reach a higher level. Haven't you found anyone else?"

"I've looked for them, but to no avail," Crohn replied.

Mia in the living room said: "Why is it ineffective? Logically speaking, in places where there is a shortage of water, as long as you ask a magician to use rainfall magic, you don't have to worry about water resources."

Crohn said: "I don't know why. In short, we have called several rainfall masters, but there is nothing we can do. It should be because their levels are too low."

I shook my head and said, "Not necessarily."

Tuoji next to him asked: "Captain, is there any other reason?"

I groaned, thinking of my previous experience as a rainmaker.

I guess that this territory is likely to have some kind of barrier set up like the town I lived in before, which is why it doesn't rain for a long time.

The groundwater has dried up, which is more suspicious.

So I asked: "Your area is not too small. There should be enough groundwater. I wonder how much is left now?"

Crohn shook his head and said: "Not a drop of water is left."

"What, not even a drop of water is left, is this too exaggerated?" Tuoji said in surprise.

I said, "It's really an exaggeration. It's only been half a year without rain, and there's no groundwater left?"

"That's the truth. I don't know what you can do?" Crohn asked.

Mia said: "In addition to the food transported in our carriage, there is also some water resources, which should be enough for you to use for a while. Let me and my men think of a solution first."

"Then please excuse me, Your Highness." Crohn bent down to express his gratitude. The white hair on his temples made him look very old.

This old baron heard that the reputation here was pretty good. As soon as food and water resources arrived, the first thing he distributed was to the people below.

At this time, several figures walked in from outside the door.

I saw Diana striding over with her men.

"Your Highness Diana, you are finally back. I wonder if the rain has succeeded?"

Crohn ran up to Diana and bent down to salute.

Diana sighed, shook her head and said, "The situation is a bit bad. The main reason is that my men were disturbed by the sandstorm blowing during the casting process."

"It's a sandstorm again!" Crohn said with a serious voice: "Every time we invite a rainmaker to cast rain, what comes is not rain at all, but a sandstorm, as if it is deliberately disturbing us!"

"So, this isn't a coincidence?" I asked.

Crohn said: "I don't know, but this sandstorm is a little abnormal!"

"What happened to the wind dragon?" Mia's voice.

Crohn thought for a while and replied: "Wind dragons are creatures that live in the Gobi. In previous years, they only came once or twice, but recently, they are probably attracted by the rotting corpses."

"Your Highnesses, my territory is in a very bad situation right now. Not only is it short of water, but it's also plagued by epidemics. I wonder if you can help manage it?"

He looked at Diana and Mia with a bitter expression.

Diana said: "If it doesn't rain, let's put it aside for now. I will take my men and go to the villages outside to see. Among them are healers I specially brought from the royal city. There must be a way to cure the plague! "

"Thank you so much, Your Highness!"

Crohn looked at the two princesses and said, "I still have some things to deal with, so I won't disturb you anymore!"

After speaking, he turned to leave.

After Crohn left, Diana immediately cast an angry look at Mia and scolded: "Mia, you are so presumptuous!"

Mia was at a loss and asked: "Sister, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean? You allowed your subordinates to injure my people and then came to take my job. This is not arrogance!" Diana said.

Mia shook her head and said: “No, you touched me first, so I don’t care about this matter.

Moreover, I came here entirely to complete my father's assessment and help the people here. This is completely a good thing. Sister, don't you plan to help the people here? "

"Nonsense, of course I'm here to help, but you, why do you have to step in!" Diana said.

Mia looked at her and said, "What I want to express is very simple. I just want to help the people here. The assessment doesn't really matter. We can even work together?"

"Haha, what you said is really ridiculous!" Diana said with a look of disbelief: "To tell you the truth, do you think this princess wants to come to this crappy place?

If it weren't for the fact that Maguire had entrusted me with a task, I wouldn't have come to this place, and now I wish I could have left long ago! "

Mia sighed and said, "Sister, it seems you only care about the assessment and don't care about the people here at all!"

"Hahaha, Mia, do you want to tell me that you came all the way here just for the people here?"

"Stop kidding me!"

Diana scoffed loudly, her face full of sarcasm.

I understand exactly what she means.

Since ancient times, in the world of monarchy, there has been no such thing as a private visit.

Because the king is the first recipient of benefits, followed by the ministers and nobles around him.

The officials drank soup with these people, but as for the people below... they either had some gnawed bones, or they couldn't even eat any bones.

As a high-ranking king, it is impossible for him to go to the countryside in person and sympathize with the people.

These things only exist in movies and TV dramas. They are part of art, but they are not reality.

As a princess, Diana came all the way to take a look, which was already good enough, let alone asking him to help some common people!

As heirs to the throne, they must complete some assessments and achieve decent results in different territories in order to gain more support and recognition.

They had no choice but to do this. Normally, these princesses and princes would have been lying in the palace enjoying their happiness.

It was reasonable for Diana to say this.

On the contrary, it is a bit abnormal for Mia to keep talking about the common people.

I stood up and said, "Your Highness Diana, Princess Mia wants to cooperate with you. After all, there are more or less capable people around you."

"How about we solve the rainfall problem together?"

I think what I said is quite sincere, and I really want to seek cooperation.

Diana turned me down.

She said: "You want to cooperate with me, who do you think you are?"

"Besides, my men and I have already tried this rain thing. It won't rain at all in this shitty place, so if you want to take over this mess, just take it."

"Tomorrow I will send people outside to take a look and let them cure the plague first. Anyway, I only need to complete one of them: rain and plague treatment."

"After completing the assessment by then, my father will definitely appreciate me when I return!"

Mia advised: "Sister, whether it's rainfall or plague treatment, it's a big deal for the people here. You'd better come up with a solution with me, right?"

"Haha, Mia, you finally know how to beg me now?" Diana narrowed her eyes and said, "I will never forget the fact that you asked your subordinates to humiliate me. When I return to the royal city, I will kill you Let’s deal with it together!”

After saying that, Diana turned around and left with her men.

I looked at Mia who was sitting in a wheelchair and sighing with disappointment, and comforted me: "Don't worry, Your Highness, you will successfully complete the assessment!"

Mia shook her head and said: "What I'm worried about is not the assessment, but the people here!"

I looked at her and said in surprise: "Do you really... want to do something for the people here?"

"Of course, as a princess, shouldn't I have these responsibilities?" she said.

What a trick to put on airs.

I don't think what Mia said was true.

On the contrary, I feel that she is just pretending and duplicity.

As a leader, shouldn't you be so hypocritical and leave the troublesome things to your subordinates, and then get the credit and benefits yourself?

They are like this no matter where they are.

To be honest, I don’t know Mia very well, so I have my own judgment. I now think that she is a bit of a hypocrite.

Mia said: "Randy, please think of a way to bring rain here. I saw many people on the street who are short of water and food. It's so pitiful."

"Understood, Your Highness, I will go out alone to check the situation. By the way... help you find the crystal cup?"

"That's great. That cup is very important to me. Please help me find it!" Mia said.

Nodding, I turned and left.

This Mia is indeed the kind of person who leaves troublesome things to her subordinates.

I wish I could do some good by helping her with the rain.

To be honest, in the past, I longed to become a noble.

Now...this mentality has faded a little.

I have things I want to do, such as... find a miracle doctor, cure Xikali's eyes, and let her live a good life.

Then there is Lilith. Although she has lost her memory, she does not remember me.

But it doesn't matter whether she remembers me or not. I just know that she is safe.

That's why I gave up staying with her and came to accompany Xikali.
