Lux's Farewell

297 0293 Adaptation and progress

The recent Nashilami has not been peaceful.

But no matter how turbulent the city is thousands of miles away, it has nothing to do with Lacus and Ino who are trekking hard in the desert for the time being.

After a few days of journey, Lacus and Ino are already disgraced.

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

In this case, if you want to make iced water to take a bath, you may have to force Ino to overdraw his magic power to do it—and considering that under such an extreme environment, the magic power overdraft is likely to be fatal, so the two of them can at most be together When setting up camp at night, just dip a towel in water and wipe your body.

Lacus was born as a noble lady.

Although Yinuo is a peasant girl who has to do farm work, she also cares about her personal hygiene after finishing the work.

So the two of them are more or less uncomfortable with the current life.

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

"If you must take a bath, there are two ways." Kalya slowly gave a hint, "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 be a torrential rain!" Carya explained with a smile when he heard the words, "Actually, the problem in the desert has never been that there is no precipitation-the biggest problem in the Dasai Desert is that the water here cannot be stored. After a rain, the water seeps under the gravel within half a day."

"Can it still be like this?"

"Of course——if you master the magic of earth and stone, you can probably find wet soil by digging down a hundred yards." Kalya continued to explain, "In the era of the Shurima Empire, the empire once built many almost vertical roads. The underground canals run through the entire continent, and the abundant groundwater is drawn out in various villages and towns, forming oases scattered all over the place, but it is a pity that from the present point of view, those great projects have been completely abandoned..."

When it came to this topic, Kalya's tone seemed a bit melancholy - and when he heard him talk about "the underground canal that runs through the continent of Shurima", Lacus thought of the person she saw in the simulation training. The little girl who has been here, can turn up the stones in the ground.

She is Karya's student, right?
Could it be that she built the underground culvert that Kalya mentioned?
However, seeing that Kalya seemed a little lost, Lacus didn't ask this question.

Although the old Kalya seems to be getting more and more rude recently, Lux is still willing to show consideration for her poor teacher.

........................

It seems that because of the topic of the underground ditches, during the night school 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 Lacus was listening to Kalya's narration, she was also silently thinking about whether there were any 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, the puppet-type harvester that Karya mentioned, maybe it can be promoted after the magic of Demacia is normalized?

There is also the breeding project, which is also the top priority-carefully cultivated plants can be the cornerstone of an emerging technology!
It seemed that because she listened too carefully to the lectures 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 very soundly.

Unlike the previous 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.

"Hmm... what happened?" Lifting off the veil that shielded her face from the sun and wind, Lux blinked, and looked at Ino with some discomfort, "What time is it?"

"It's just after noon." Ino took out his pocket watch and glanced at it. "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", Lax's drowsiness disappeared instantly. She stood up on the back of the broad Scalash, set up an awning with her hands and looked around, but there was only long yellow sand in her eyes, and there was no prying eyes at all. own people.

Is there something wrong with Yinuo's feeling?
Just when Lacus was hesitating, an indescribable feeling came over her. At this moment, she also seemed to faintly feel the real gaze sweeping past her body, and then carefully disappearing—she tried to He tried to find the source and whereabouts of this gaze, but after looking around, he found nothing.

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

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

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

After a few breaths, Scarash stopped - it didn't seem to understand what its master meant, or maybe it also sensed this feeling of peeping. After standing still, the giant beast didn't relax its cud, but Slightly shaking his head, he looked left and right.

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

However, along the way, the sand on the ground didn't seem to have changed in any way, and it didn't look like something had been dug underneath.

It's really strange... There are no birds in the sky, no traces of excavation in the ground, and there is not even a living creature in the field of vision. Where does this weird sense of spying come from?
Suddenly, Lux remembered what Kalya told herself last night about the ditches built by the Shurima Empire—if the underground watchers didn’t dig tunnels, but sneaked deep underground along the ditches Woolen cloth?
Realizing this, Lux quickly rummaged through her bag, and quickly found the device used to determine her location.

After finding the level, she roughly judged 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.

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

Facing Lux's question, Kalya said in a very relieved tone: "Congratulations, you got the answer right-there should be a ditch passing through here, and the voyeur you perceive is likely to be related to Bakai."

　Kalya's Little Classroom Super Project of the Shurima Empire:

　　Today's Shurima people miss the former Shurima Empire, and a large part of their willingness is that the super-projects established by the Shurima Empire back then made people all over Shurima live well—even today, even if no one maintains it There are many ditches in the country, as long as they are not destroyed by the war, they can still play a good role.

　　PS. I snatched the sofa myself, there is no Chapter 4, I go to bed first.

　　In the past few days, there is no mention in this chapter, but it will be available in two days.
