The Dragon Princess Who Traveled Through Another World

  Chapter 11 Omnipotent Arcane Art

  After going out, Charlie, who should have wanted to ride a horse, suddenly remembered something...

  Everything happened so suddenly last night.

  Suddenly, she met two very powerful arcanists.

  Suddenly, she became mentor and apprentice with these two very powerful arcanists.

   More suddenly, they arrived at the territory in a dazed 'biu'.

  In the blink of an eye, they have traveled a long distance that can only be reached by riding a horse for 20 days.

   All this happened too unexpectedly.

  Of course, here are some things to pay special attention to: First, they left in a hurry, and they didn’t seem to think of paying the accommodation fee to the mean and bitter poor bald boss of the hotel.

  And, secondly, did they forget to 'pack' away the mounts in the barn? !

  ! Damn bald! "Spit out" my lovely pony for me!

  However, this can only be thought about in my heart.

   After all, after casting the 'Phoenix' teleportation method yesterday, the white-robed Arcanist Capa's eyes are hard to get rid of the 'pain' in his eyes until now, which is enough for Charlie to keep silent about it.

  Old Tom smacked his mouth, which still smelled of barbecue, and walked in front with great enthusiasm to lead the way for everyone.

  Obviously, Charlie is not the only one who thinks about horses, but none of you in the mercenary team have the guts to 'theory' with two arcanists who have shown so many extraordinary things.

  Even Kanna, the magician girl who was most at odds with arcanists, kept her mouth shut and didn't say a word about it.

  Under the sunlight, the castle was finally fully presented to everyone.

  The stone city walls built along the reefs and cliffs have long been eroded by sea waves and lost their original function.

  The castle, no, this can be regarded as the ruins of the castle, and the last layer of fig leaf was finally removed under the sunshine.

   Castles that look luxurious and comfortable require a lot of gold coins to repair.

   Obviously, there is no one living in this long-abandoned castle, let alone anyone who will afford the expensive maintenance costs.

  ‘The desolate earl lives in a poor castle, sitting on a piece of barren land, ha...’, Charlie thought with some joy.

  Old Tom walked in the front and led the way, and introduced to the nobles who followed him:

   "This is the only way to go up to the castle... The former baron lord originally wanted to repair the wall on the reef, but unfortunately he never came back in the dragon slaying battle that strangled the [Frost Scourge] last time..."

  Charlie: "..."

  Hey, hey, I always feel like a very unlucky castle!

  However, old Tom, who didn’t notice it, continued to babble while walking: “[Frost Scourge] ah…that’s a young white dragon, invading our southern coast…it’s said that his breath freezes the 300-mile coast like a natural disaster.”

  Charlie's eyes widened, and he felt a chill down his back. What kind of breath was freezing for hundreds of miles?

  It’s so powerful, and there are still people who dare to rush up, do they feel that life is too boring?

  The mercenaries guarding her left and right sides said: "That is a real nobleman, worthy of respect."

   Charlie: ""

  Listening to the narration of the old tax collector with a hammer and a stick, the group walked for about 40 minutes, and finally arrived at Bella Village, the only place where the locals gathered in Charlie's territory.

  The houses in the village have been in disrepair for many years, and they look like Charlie's old castle. They all look like 'relics' unearthed together.

   But fortunately, there are many houses in the village, it seems that it should be a town with a large population.

   That means there is a lot of labor, which means it can produce a lot of GDP, and she will be the legal owner of it all, oh well! New life in another world, long live!

  However, when Charlie asked about the population, he found that it was not what she thought.

   "What did you say?! How many people are there?" Charlie almost lost her voice. She forgot to control her voice in surprise, causing her voice to suddenly rise a lot.

   "Return, return to Lord Lord, here, there are 27 households and 99 people in Bella Village."

   "Ah! It's 98 people. A silverback wolf ran out of the woods last night. Poor Sam, who was busy in the fields by the woods, was dragged into the woods... hey..."

  Charlie stared blankly at at least a few hundred dilapidated civilian houses in Beira Village, still refusing to believe the facts, "But there seem to be a lot of houses here, why are there so few people? Those people, did they escape?"

  Old Tom's face was numb, as if talking about those terrible things would no longer cause any waves in his old man's heart:

   "These were all houses built when the old lord was there, and there were quite a lot of people here at that time...

   Ah, then we had several natural disasters, a tsunami, a hurricane and another...

   Well, there are fewer and fewer people, and more and more people are dying. Oh, the woods that border the interior to the east of the woods...

  Yes, there are always monsters running out of it, they will take people into the depths of the forest and eat them, and many of us died from these monsters that always come out to hunt..."

  Charlie interrupted the old man in a calm tone, babbling about those terrible things that often brought death, "Can you call everyone in the village? I always want to see for myself."

  Old Tom went to call for someone immediately, and about half an hour later, these leaders living in Xiaohai Village were called back here one after another from various places.

  They stood together, looking at Charlie and his party, who were dressed in bright clothes.

   Needless to say, just a quick glance at Charlie reveals too many answers to the original question.

  The expressions of these people are all numb and thin.

   Both adults and children are in a state of long-term malnutrition, like skeletons wrapped in skin.

   There was a long silence.

  Scarface and the others are used to seeing them from all over the world doing missions, but they still can't get used to such a scene.

  Perhaps, this is the last conscience in the hearts of human beings. If one day when they look at these people, their eyes become indifferent to life and death, then, from that day on, they also lose their qualifications to be human.

  The atmosphere was too depressing, Searle took out the leather wine bag that carried low-quality drinks and took a sip of wine. He was still young, and his insight and concentration were far inferior to the vicissitudes of the scarred man.

   "Hiss~" The spicy wine irritated his throat, and Serge couldn't help but let out a mouthful of hot air.

   And standing at the forefront of the leader, a skinny little boy led by a black and thin woman saw the skin bag full of spirits, and his throat moved several times with difficulty.

  The thirst for fresh water made the skinny little boy let go of his mother's rough but warm hand.

  He took a step forward and walked straight towards Searle who was holding the alluring skin.

  The little boy's actions caught Charlie's mind. He was a little curious and didn't know what the boy was going to do.

  The boy's mother was very anxious, and called the boy's name in a low voice, "Ston, Ston! Come back!"

   But obviously, the desire for water has made the little boy choose not to listen to his mother's call.

  Old Tom obviously wanted to stop the child, but Charlie raised his hand to stop him. She was curious about what the child wanted to do.

  The little boy walked up to Serre, staring at the old skin eagerly and greedily from the corners of his eyes that were extraordinarily large due to his emaciation.

  He pointed to the skin bag and said in a very dry voice: "...water...you need to drink water..."

  Charlie looked at the boy carefully, saw that his lips were dry and peeling, and then looked at the boy's mother...

   Again, chapped lips, even worse than boys.

  After seeing every leader of Bella Village, she discovered a problem.

  There seems to be a severe water shortage here.

  Recalling the morning, the old tax collector in the town seemed to be in a hurry to "gobble it up" when he drank water, but because he also looked like this when he ate dried barbecue slices before, he didn't think much about it.

  Charlie looked at Searle helplessly.

  Searle took out another skin bag, which contained fresh water, and handed it to the little boy.

  The little boy raised his head and drank 'gudong', 'gudong', but suddenly remembered something after drinking halfway, stopped suddenly, and then looked at Searle very warily like a wolf cub.

Charlie watched inexplicably, but saw the little boy suddenly turn around, ran to his mother at a very fast speed, and stuffed the half-filled skin bag to the dumbfounded black and thin woman .

  The child 'robbed' Searle's water bag under the watchful eyes of everyone, but no one came forward to criticize him for such an act.

  Only the mother of the child looked at the water bag in fear and reluctance.

   "Are you short of water here?" Charlie frowned and asked old Tom who didn't know what to do.

Old Tom immediately said: "Yes, my lord, the only water source in this area is in the forest. The original lord once opened a channel to divert water, but then... well, I think something happened in the forest, and the channel dried up. "

   "We don't have the ability to reopen, because those man-eating monsters..."

  Charlie almost seemed to have heard something incredible. She didn't expect that drinking water was a problem here. "What do you usually drink?"

   "It rains, we will store water when it rains, and in winter, we also dug a reservoir... But, but it hasn't rained recently, sea water can't be drunk, so..."

  Charlie raised his hand to interrupt old Tom's babble.

  She turned her head and asked the mercenary team and the two arcane instructors beside her, "Is there a way to get some water out now?"

   Scarface said: "We can organize into the forest, but we need to find out what level the monsters in the forest are probably."

   "Then go see what's going on in the old canal."

  The arcanist let out a chuckle of unknown meaning.

  Charlie was attracted by them, but before she could speak, Kanna, the only girl in the mercenary team, stood up and puffed up her chest and said, "Tell them to line up to come to me."

  The two arcanists watched with great interest, without any sense of 'competition for posts'.

  Charlie had seen the power of the spellcaster, and immediately told Old Tom to ask the people in the territory to go to Karna with a container of water.

  Old Tom was very prestigious in the village. After some encouragement from him, the leaders went back to their homes to fetch pots and pans.

  After Kana chanted the spell and released the first water polo, there were exclamations one after another in the town, and then the exclamations turned into cheers mixed with a few crying with joy.

  Charlie froze.

  She didn't expect that this most insignificant thing could make the people here, no, it was her people who were so excited.

   Just like that, Charlie watched silently as the citizens received fresh water from Karna one by one.

   Some of them sobbed, some kept bowing to thank them, and some couldn't wait to get the water and poured it hard.

   But the scene ended when the pale-faced Kana ran out of magic power.

   Another third of the people did not receive water, and the lively and hopeful smiles on their faces disappeared and were replaced by dull faces of numbness and despair.

  The Arcanist obviously expected it long ago. At this time, the two old men stood up gloatingly, "Charlie, did you see that, this is a stupid magician who does things regardless of the consequences."

   "Good apprentice, let me tell you how the great arcanist solved the same and similar problems once and for all when the first floating city appeared!"
