Chapter 331 (1/2)
Grandia can't solve it by herself, but there are more Elven Druids in the emerald corolla!
So the way Donne thought of was to go to the emerald corolla, find isali, convince her, and ask her to ask the Druids in the temple for help. In a short time, it was only by asking them for help that it was possible to complete the task
”Is that why you're here?”
Isalie looked at the embarrassed Donne with a smile. Her chest was amazing. She just sat there casually, which made Donne feel a suffocating sense of oppression - no way. He almost died in the chest murder last time, which really impressed him.
”Yes, we can't collect 71000 tons of food in a short time by relying on grantia alone, even if she is tired to death.”
Donne held up the teacup and blocked his sight. He was afraid he couldn't continue to think calmly.
Isalie tilted her head and looked at Donne with great interest: ”why not go to other cities of your mankind, or even other countries to buy it?”
”In fact, we have considered the possibility of buying in other cities in the past. The final conclusion is that it takes at least half a year to buy 71000 tons of grain, and we have to import.”
Donne's expression was a little helpless. Now, only relying on the divine power of the elf Druids in the Earth Goddess temple, it is possible to collect such a huge amount of food in a short time.
Only after a thorough investigation can we understand how backward prandal's agriculture is now. It only takes a small part of power to apply the power of magic to agriculture, which can greatly further agricultural productivity and greatly increase the speed of population and even social development. Unfortunately, they put magic on the shelf.
The result of backward agricultural productivity is a serious shortage of grain reserves.
Even the ilrus royal family did not have much grain reserves, and Victor could not help Donne's difficulties.
It's no problem to borrow money, but there's no way to borrow food.
They calculated that, on average, the grain reserves of those surveyed towns were only about three months. Taken together, Ellington, after being managed by him, still had the most grain per capita. In his opinion, this is a ridiculous joke.
But Fiona and her family took it for granted - Donne increased production, reduced taxes, and sent out a lot of bonuses, and then continued to buy food from outside to replenish stocks. As a result, it is abnormal that the per capita holding is not high.
”So finally -- ah, sister egwin, you're here. Please sit down.”
Hearing what isalie said, Donne, who was originally loose, suddenly sat up straight, looking energetic, and even piled an elegant smile on his face.
”I lied to you. Egwin went to the forest today and hasn't come back yet.”
Sally smiled mischievously.
So the smile on Donne's face froze.
Fairy Queen, when did you learn to cheat?
”On the other hand, from your performance, you seem to really care about egwin.”
Isalie gently stroked the staff and looked at Donne thoughtfully: ”obviously, you just met her before. How can you like her so much? It's hard for me to understand.”
”Is it hard to understand love at first sight?”
Isalie shook her head: ”Of course, that kind of thing can only exist in the Bard's story. How can it exist in reality? The so-called love at first sight can only be conquered by each other's appearance, but I remember there are several girls around you. They should be very beautiful in human beings. It should not be so easy to be conquered by sister egwin's appearance.”
Donne was silent for a moment, raised his mouth slightly and said, ”this may be a longing for good things. People in darkness often yearn for light.”
”What do you mean?”
”It means that what you lack, the more you yearn for.”
Donne's eyes were full of self mockery: ”Maybe it is because my heart is too dirty that I am attracted by the simple beauty of egwin - can you imagine how much I will be touched when a man living in a world full of betrayal and deception suddenly sees a pure and impeccable woman with crystal like appearance?”
Isalie thought for a moment and shook her head. She couldn't imagine that.
”I can tell you.”
Donne covered his chest and his face was filled with a warm smile: ”it's like a cold cave in the deep, suddenly melted, and suddenly hit by lightning. His whole body is full of trembling happiness -”
Looking at the confused isalie, Donne continued: ”get her! When I saw her, my heart kept telling me that I must get her, that's her! If I can only marry one person, that person must be her!”
”Sister egwin is an elf.”
”I know...”
Donne could not explain to the upright elf queen what was called a slip of the tongue and idiom.
”In addition, I remember human words, there is no rule of monogamy.”
”So that's why you didn't want to be my husband last time?”
