Chapter 44 The key to the problem

Soon the troops of our two sides met at the border between the two countries, and the other party brought no fewer people than here. I glanced in the crowd and found that King William, whose outfit and position showed his unique status.

The troops on both sides were posing as if they were going to fight. The two kings waved their hands at the same time to stop their troops. Only two kings, a few personal guards and a few of us walked into the middle.

"I heard that someone can help us solve the water source problem. Are these three?" William didn't politely with us at all. Although he seemed to be very capable, he was young after all and his way of dealing with things was far inferior to the old king here.

The old king gave us three very politely. "These three nobles are here to help us." Look, this is what it means to be able to speak. Whether it is false or not, it sounds comfortable at least. A ruler will not even be polite.

"It's you three?" William didn't even look at us, but just glanced at him and said to the old king: "Where are you looking for? Is it trustworthy? I..."

I suddenly stood between two kings and faced William and blocked the old king behind him. "I'm not here to listen to your nonsense. I'm..."

"You are bold!" A guard rushed up before I could finish speaking. I didn't move and kicked the guy down.

"I am here to discuss business with you as a businessman. I want to check the water source problem. If it succeeds, you can get a clean water source. As the beneficiary, you should pay a certain amount of compensation and provide some assistance."

Rose stood up and added: "The transaction conditions will not be very harsh. This is a list, please take a look." Rose handed a piece of paper.

William took the reward list that Rose and I planned for a long time before we decided, and we couldn't read it, and we just kneaded it into a ball of paper and threw it back.

"You..." Rose was angry and wanted to go up to argue, but was pulled back by the old king's sharp-eyed discovery.

"King William, that's wrong." The old guy is indeed a traitor and is now starting to do things. "The guests are kind to help, and it's okay to give some rewards. Isn't this necessary? Can you discuss it again with harsh conditions?"

Rose was trembling with anger. "Husband, let's go, I won't help them anymore!"

I reached out and grabbed the rose that was about to leave. "His Highness William, we are businessmen, harmony is the most important. If the conditions are not good, we can discuss it. What conditions do you think are acceptable?" Damn, if I used to stuff your head into my stomach, but now interests are important. Merchants don't lose money, I will tolerate it!

William finally spoke. "I believe you have knocked a lot from the old man. It doesn't mean I'm good at cheating. Anyway, I will help him control the water source and I will get better together. Why should I pay additional compensation? If you have a way to restore Baiyete's water source, just ask me for compensation if there is a problem with the water source here!" After he said that, he turned around and rode his horse and ran towards the formation.

Rose shouted furiously: "I'm so angry, how could there be such an unreasonable person?" She looked around and seemed to be looking for something: "Bow, bow? Who has a bow? I'm going to shoot this bastard to death. I'm so angry."

I was also angry enough, but it was not out of control. However, Rose was so angry that she didn't help her reduce the fire. Isn't my husband in vain? He raised his right hand in front of her, and the various mechanism locks on the arm guard bounced open together, and a sparkling golden crossbow appeared under the black magic dragon arm guard. This is actually the Avenger. After the armor absorbed the dragon soul last time, it turned into a detachable style.

Rose immediately reacted and took off the crossbow from my hand. I reminded me from the side: "Be careful, this thing is very powerful."

Rose is not really going to shoot people, she just has no place to shoot two arrows to defeat the fire. The Avenger is in an automatic loading style. After Rose picks up the arrow, it has already pushed it. She glances slightly and pulls the trigger, and a crossbow arrow flies out. Rose doesn't control its strength for a while and is pushed back by the recoil. Fortunately, I support her next to me.

The arrow shot into the sky because the rose was shaking when it was fired. However, I don’t know if it was a coincidence, the arrow flew up and fell down again, and accurately hit the white horse in Weilian’s ass. The war horse jumped up immediately in pain, and William was immediately lifted down without any preparation and fell down.

"Haha! I'll call you!" Rose jumped up happily, and the old king behind us and the guards on our side laughed.

William was not willing to be humiliated for nothing. If he knew how tolerant, he would not have conflicted with us. William, who got up again, asked the troops to attack angrily. I guess he would take revenge, but he did not expect that he would let the troops attack regardless of the overall situation.

The old king had been fighting with William for a day or two, and he was familiar with William's character. When Rose was shooting archery just now, he had already started to order the troops behind to prepare for emergency situations. At this time, he saw that the opposite troops had taken action and immediately put out the shield formation. Although the shield was broken, it was still a bit good.

This matter was caused by Rose, so I couldn't let the old king's troops respond to the enemy alone. It seems that they need the help of the magic pet! "Tank!" At this time, only the tanks are more efficient.

Sure enough, the huge body of the confession scared the opponent as soon as he appeared. He raised his two forelimbs, stood up all his body, and then he suddenly concentrated all his strength on the bone hammer on the forelimbs and smashed it downwards. The two bone hammers immediately made a loud noise, and the entire ground trembled violently like an earthquake. The cavalry on the opposite side was shocked and jumped three feet high. None of the fallen war horses could stand, and the cavalry team immediately fell down and fell backwards.

I pointed forward with one hand: "Tank, Dragon Flame Spray." Tanks that have eaten dragon meat can use Dragon Flame.

The tank's terrifying eyes flashed with green light, and its body stopped suddenly and began to inhale, and then suddenly ejected a red dragon flame forward. The cavalry opposite was still lying on the ground and struggling. Suddenly, a large area of ​​dragon flames came down and who could hide from it! Suddenly, a large area of ​​soldiers were lit and turned into a fireman and ran around on the ground frantically.

Although William on the opposite side did not know how to be a human being, his military command was very good. After finding that the cavalry was frustrated, he immediately ordered the troops behind to push out the heavy crossbow. This thing was originally a counterfeit shield formation, but he did not expect that he even brought this thing.

Only a creaking sound was heard, and the crossbow cart was stalked. A bang sounded and a bowl-sized arrow was shot out, but only a "dou" sound was heard, everyone clearly saw a giant crossbow arrow ramming out a spark on the tank and flew out. Wentian ran over and patted me. "Is this your magic pet?"

"Yeah. What's wrong?"

"The defense is so high?"

"Of course, didn't you listen to me calling his name?"

"By the way, his name is a tank." Wen Tian remembered it now. "It's true that it deserves its name, stronger than a tank!"

The old king also trembled and said, "Is this your subordinate?"

I nodded. "It's my magic pet, how about it? Do you have confidence in my strength?"

“Yes. Of course there is.”

As we spoke, the tank suddenly stretched out its body, and the elys on its back also stood up. Seeing the flashing arcs of his body, I knew what he was doing. "Tank, no cannons are allowed." I also expect him to help complete the mission. What should I do if the shelling is behind it now? It's all the damn mission restrictions, otherwise it would be OK to just call a few dragons. When I heard my order, the tank immediately retracted the extension tube, but fortunately I shouted quickly.

"Be careful there." Rose reminded us to pay attention, and saw a catapult erected behind the Rosta army opposite. William was preparing to fight at the beginning.

The tank glanced at the catapult over there and rushed in that direction. Although such a large catapult was not a threat to the tank, it would still lose blood when hit. Seeing the tank rushing over, the soldiers there were of course trying to stop it. Unfortunately, the opponent's troops lacked individuals with outstanding strength. Although the overall combat power of the soldiers was higher than that of the tank, a single soldier was simply an ant and could not stop the tank at all. The steel contradictions used to deal with cavalry charges were like bamboo fences, and they fell apart with a slight touch. The soldiers' swords and swords slashed the tanks without any reaction except for Mars splashing everywhere, and even heavy battle axes could not cut off the tank's nearly one meter thick shell.

Seeing the tanks crossing the entire Rosta army's position, the soldiers had no choice. The catapult that had not yet been fully deployed was smashed into pieces of broken wood by the tank, and the crossbow chariot next to it was also beaten into scrap iron. William's guard pulled Talin's belt and crawled out of the position to avoid the danger of being crushed into meat pie.

Although everyone sees that the tank is very brave, I know that the tank's health is very fast, and the soldiers' attacks are basically not broken, but the blood is very fast, and there are too many soldiers. "Rose, help the tank with blood, my healing skills are not as good as yours."

Rose nodded, and an advanced replies were gathered. When Rose was about to be released, it suddenly screamed. With a loud bang, the magic exploded around us. The healing technique was also magic, and it would explode if it was interrupted during use. Rose fell down with her waist, and Princess Lala, who was standing next to her, was holding a bloody dagger in her hand.

"Bang." A loud slap drove Princess Lala out and turned around in the air for several times before landing, and fell to the ground without moving again.

"Rose, are you okay?" I was afraid that something would happen to Rose.

Rose frowned and covered her waist. "Fortunately, the activity connection of the order suit stuck the dagger, and she couldn't stab it to the end."

"Don't move, I'll help you with the healing technique."

"Don't you take care of the tank first?"

"It's okay, he can hold on for a while."

As a beast trainer, the main way to fight is to add state to the magic pet, so I also know some magic tricks such as healing techniques. However, there are special reply personnel who don’t need me to do it, so I have never used it. Fortunately, Rose is not seriously injured, and the first-level healing technique can be used in some ways.

The old king ran to us with a look of fear and fear: "Are you okay? I'm so sorry, I didn't expect that this ignorant girl would hurt you. She was also confused by that William, don't blame her." The old king knew that his daughter liked William, but she was his daughter after all, and he still demanded love with her old face.

This old king has always been pretty good to us, and I don't want to make him angry. "You'd better discipline your daughter and don't let her appear near us again before we leave, otherwise I won't guarantee what she is doing next time."

"Yes! Thank you!" The old king is very respectful to us when he sees the strength of the tank.

He was about to stand up and I grabbed him. "It's nothing if I let your daughter go, but my wife can't be hurt in vain. I see that the necklace on your daughter's neck is good, I want to give it to my wife."

Without saying a word, the old king personally went over and pulled the necklace around his daughter's neck and handed it to me. I took it and brought it to the rose immediately. The princess was slapped in shock just now, and there was no reaction when the necklace was taken away. Baby, baby, it finally came to my hands.

Seeing that I was not pursuing it anymore, the king turned around and asked the guards to carry the princess away and ordered the princess to lock it in the room in front of me. I knew he was doing it for me, but it would be nice for him to do this.

Rose was not seriously injured, and he recovered after a simple treatment. The tank was a little tight without the support of healing magic, so I had to call him back. Bai Yet's army was still intact here, and Rosta's troops were no longer organized. The tank took the initiative to retreat and they dared not chase him, so they had to retreat.

Looking at the Rosta troops who were leaving, I said to Rose beside me: "It seems that things are not as simple as we think?"

Wentian said on the other side: "The difficulty of level F-level mission is here. The other party has a king who is ignorant of praise. Just beating monsters to solve the water source problem may not necessarily allow the two countries to live in peace."

Rose said: "We can use the method we had in the beginning."

"What?" Wentian was shocked. "You really plan to destroy Rosta?"

Wentian obviously didn't understand Rose's meaning, but I understood. He turned around and said to the old king: "How about making another deal?"

"As long as there is good, of course there is no problem." The king's enthusiasm for interests is not worse than mine at all.

"Do you think doubled the country's strength is a benefit?"

"Of course!" The old man's eyes flashed with a greedy light. "But how can this be achieved?"

"I haven't decided on the specific method yet. I'll tell you after I've decided. But my intention is to merge Rosta into you Baiyeth, so that your national number and land area will double. What do you think?"

"It is not that easy to annex a country!" Although the old king was greedy, he was not stupid. He also knew that some things could not be solved by force.

"This is not something you have to worry about. We will deal with the specific matters, just wait and accept the country."

"Of course it's good." The old king rubbed his hands and looked a little like a bandit.

"Let's go back? This Rosta is not a rival that can be solved by negotiation. It's better to solve the water problem first. This is the fundamental thing." Rose reminded me that it's time to do a serious matter.

"Yes, let's go."

When I returned to the palace, I brought all the supplies I wanted to bring. The old king selected 50 of the most elite soldiers for us to help us complete the task. According to my opinion, none of these people could come back. It is impossible for a F-level mission to die.

According to the information provided by the King's advisory group, the Rosta and Baiyet are completely surrounded by a crater, which is why there are few outsiders in the two countries. After careful study of the map and asking some residents, we found that all the water in this area seems to come from the snow water at the highest peak of the mountain and the rain water collected by the mountain itself. These waters were sent by the underground river in the mountain to a large lake at the foot of the mountain. The lake water flows through other areas of the mountain through surface runoff, and part of the lake water also seeps into the groundwater to form groundwater.

After studying this information, Rose suggested that we first investigate whether there was any problem with the snow water on the top of the mountain, so that we could find out where the water was polluted by following the water source. The elite warriors who assisted us all said that the mountains were very steep and could not be climbed at all, which means that they could not be taken up with them. However, it would be a waste to just investigate the situation and take too many people. We plan to take a few people to see the situation first.

The captain who found the soldiers asked, "Do you have a way to tell if there is any problem with water? I mean a quick and safe test, not someone who drinks water for experiments."

The captain said without hesitation: "It's very easy to test. Poisonous water has a special smell, and it's obvious that you can tell it out by just licking it a little. People like us who are strong in body need to drink a large bowl of poisonous water to have adverse reactions. Trying a few drops will not hurt people."

"Okay, you can find the 5 smartest ones. Note that combat power is not important, but your brain must be good and your skills must be flexible."

"I understand." The captain quickly found 5 subordinates, and he had 6 people.

Let them six of them sit on the tank's head with Wentian, and I took off with the rose in my arms. The main reason was that the tank had to spread its elys when flying, so it was inconvenient to ride. The nine of us and the tank flew towards the highest peak together. After leaping through a forest, we saw the peak. The height was not very high, but the area was not small. We found a place above the snow line on the top of the mountain and took everyone down to start looking for water.

They tasted the smell of snow, and found that there was no problem with the snow. In order to ensure reliability, I melted it with Eternal Snow, and then took some ice from under the snow layer, and found that there was no problem with the ice. It seemed that the total source of the water was not problematic, so the water must have been polluted during the flow. Because the tank was summoned at the beginning, now I was limited to not be summoned by the magic pet, and even if the tank was put away, I was not allowed to be replaced. Therefore, the plan to summon the pioneers to dig holes could not be realized.

We cannot study the flow of underground rivers if we cannot dig holes, so we had to go downstairs to take a look. After we arrived at the foot of the mountain, we walked towards the big lake. Everyone here knew this lake, but few people could get here. The main reason was that the lake was surrounded by a forest, and there were too many monsters in the forest, so no one could get here.

Because the lake is large, it is easy to find. We found the outlet of the underground river by the lake. The water flow gushed out from a gap in the mountain, like a waterfall. We checked the water quality of the waterfall and found that the waterfall is also a drinking purified water.

A warrior tasted the water in the lake, but there was still no problem. Rose said: "This is the inlet. Even if the lake water is polluted, there will be no response here. We need to go to the lake center and outlet to test it."

I took a samurai to the middle of the lake to test the water, and the others went to the outlet on the other side of the lake to test. We still did not find any pollution in the middle of the lake, which means there was no problem with the lake. It's a pity that the lake is too dangerous. It would be great if the people here could travel through the forest to get water here. I took the samurai to the entrance of the lake to meet with the others, but I saw the samurai drinking water in big mouthfuls. They tried it at the beginning, why did they drink so much?

After seeing me come down, the leader of the ignorant stood up and said, "The water here is toxic, but the concentration is much lower than the toxins in our place. If the water on our side only has this toxin standard, we can mix it with rainwater and drink it together, then there will be no problem!"

"There is a faint toxin at the outlet, but there is no in the lake. That means the source of the toxin is not far from here. Let's take a look downstream."

Walking down the river, we gradually entered the forest. After walking about a kilometer, we tested the water quality again. This time the captain only tasted a drop of river water, but he immediately spitted out the water and spitted desperately. "This water tastes so heavy, much higher than the concentration in our place. If this water can kill people in just one mouthful, my tongue will be a little numb!"

"Then you don't have to taste it. This is definitely the source of toxins. Tank, go back and take all the rest of the people. We want to search here. There must be a source of toxins nearby."
To be continued...
