Chapter 320 The Mana Fish of Dandylaya
late at night.
Nightingale Inn.
After completing the magical fusion again, Roland rested his head on Dandilaya's legs and lay lazily on the big bed: "Aya, there are more common things in Bashar City than the stars in the sky."
Dandylaya sat against the back of the bed, gently stroked Roland's cheek with one hand: "So, you have to ask someone to help you, you can't solve everything yourself."
"I'm already doing this. But those who are capable and trustworthy are really hard to find." Roland sighed.
However, these things were as expected by him, and after he found enough help, he would be idle. As for now, although it did take a lot of time, the thinking laboratory is there and it has not had a big impact on his other things.
He didn't leave any of them when he learned magic or practiced violin.
As for mana, because of Ling Rong, he has been leaping thousands of miles a day. At present, the mana strength has reached more than 12,000, and he is almost about to catch up with his mentor Lokandi.
There are more than these changes in mana.
As his mana continued to increase, he obviously felt that his mana became more and more concentrated. If it was gas in the past, now, the mana flow almost showed a viscous feeling.
Roland had a premonition that he would be able to reach the maturity stage and become a high-level mage soon.
As for the trivial matters in Bashar City, he decided not to disturb Dandilaya with these trivial matters, so he changed the subject: "Aya, how have you recovered recently?"
The date of going to the Tomb of Safar is getting closer and closer. On the violin, Roland will practice as long as he has time, and his level has improved a lot more than before. When the time comes, he will definitely meet Dandilaya's requirements.
Dandilaya felt that Roland's head was a little heavy and her thighs were numb, so she moved his head away from her legs, then lay down and snuggled up to Roland: "It's okay to recover. As long as you don't use extraordinary spells, it will have no effect. It should not delay the plan of the Tomb of Safar."
"That's good." Roland felt relieved.
Unexpectedly, Dandilaya asked about Bashar City instead: "By the way, I heard that Bashar City has implemented a new food coupon system these days... Is there not much food in the city?"
The so-called food coupon system was actually proposed by Roland, which is to concentrate all the food in the city and distribute it as needed, aiming to eliminate waste and squander in order to deal with the food crisis in Bashar City.
Originally, the grain storage in Bashar City could last for about five months, but after defeating the Iron Legion this time, they harvested more than 12,000 prisoners of war.
These prisoners of war were all elite soldiers and Glenmai. As long as they were in good spirits, most of them could become soldiers of Bashar City.
Of course it is impossible to kill at will.
Since they are not executed, they have to feed them and consume food. Suddenly, more than 10,000 people who can eat and drink have more food. The problem of food shortage has become more and more serious.
Roland didn't want Dandilaya to worry about these mundane things and said vaguely: "I encountered some problems, but it doesn't matter. We have thought of many solutions and we can definitely hold on."
Dandilaya's eyes flashed and she smiled, "Roland, when you lie, your eyes like to look around and your hands like to touch around."
Roland was speechless: "Uh~~~"
Dandilaya asked, "Tell me, how serious is the problem?"
Roland had no choice but to tell the truth: "According to the current food storage, we can only last for six months at most."
Dandilaya frowned slightly and asked again: "It's the harvest season now. There are a lot of farmland in the outskirts of Bashar City. Can't you collect some food?"
As soon as he talked about this, Roland sighed and began to talk about the situation in Bashar City in detail.
"The municipal clerk showed me the statistics. There are 6 small towns and more than 30 villages around Bashar City, with about 30 villages, and about 30,000 farmers. However, there are more than 60,000 people in Bashar City. The food collected over the years is not enough. I have to sell iron ore to exchange for food supplements from Bodeya City and Berryland City. This year, Guangling first collected a large amount of food, and the war has caused many farmers to flee the famine, and a lot of fields have been abandoned. I am afraid there is not much food to be collected at that time."
In fact, Bashar City rose because of a huge iron ore. Many people in the city are miners and are born by mining. For the current Bashar City, it is naturally a great thing to build weapons without shortage of iron, but iron ore cannot fill its stomach!
Dandiraya realized the seriousness of the problem: "As you say, the food shortage is very large."
Roland nodded: "It's very big. With Bashar City alone, even if you try your best, you will definitely not be able to hold on until next year's harvest season. Dansen has sent a lot of people to the south to purchase grain. Also, we are already preparing to attack Bodeya City. As long as we can capture Bodeya in a short time, all the problems will be gone."
Dandiraya's fingers played with Roland's chest meaninglessly and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, she said, "As far as I know, the commander of Guangling, who is responsible for quelling the rebellion of the Red Eagle Army, is Archbishop Wilde. This guy is not simple. He has lived to be 400 years old. He was there for the last night demon invasion and made great achievements. Such a person may not sit idly by and watch Bedea be captured, right?"
This news made Roland gasp and felt his teeth hurt: "A 400-year-old monster? Have you experienced the last night demon invasion?"
Commander Guangling was Archbishop Wilde. Of course he knew it, but he didn't expect it to be such a terrible person.
Dandilaya said again: "I think Wilde can think of anything you can think of. You will definitely not go well when you go to the south to buy food. If you attack Pedya in a hurry, you may fall into the trap set by Wilde."
Roland agreed deeply.
Using the opponent's shortcomings to arrange a battle plan is a conspiracy. What's scary is that even if you know there are traps ahead, you have to take risks.
The current flaw of Bashar City is the lack of food. How could an old monster like Wilde miss such an obvious opportunity?
At this moment, Roland felt a headache, and it was so painful.
Just as he was frowning, he suddenly found a smile on Dandilaya's face. He immediately moved his heart and asked hurriedly: "Aya, do you have a way again?"
Last time, the method provided by Dandilaya saved most of the walls for Bashar City.
Dandilaya smiled: "Roland, your eyes are so sharp. Yes, I thought of a solution. In fact, this solution is still the inspiration you gave me."
Roland's eyes lit up: "You said."
This time, Dandilaya didn't keep it in a silence. She smiled and said, "Our clan has a wonderful spell called 'Mana Fish'. The mage who developed this spell was originally intended to solve the food problem in Red Tide Bay. This spell can make food for hunger... However, this spell is actually a failure. First, the taste of the food is not satisfactory. After eating it for a long time, it will be malnourished. Second, this spell is very complicated and consumes mana very much, which is not worth the loss."
As he said that, Dandilaya passed the information of the magic "Mana Fish" to Roland through Ling Rong.
Roland looked carefully for a while and nodded in agreement: "This spell is indeed wonderful. Using real fish as a guide can actually copy mana fish. But this is an advanced spell, which consumes more mana than ordinary advanced spells. Releasing a spell can only create 20 kilograms of mana fish, which is indeed very impractical."
There are only a few mages in Bashar City. Even if they exhaust their mana, they will probably only convert one or two thousand kilograms of mana fish in a day. This is useless and will greatly damage the mage's body.
Dandilaya smiled slightly and passed another magic circle to Roland: "It's not possible to rely on a magic fish alone, but what about the amplification effect of the 'chaotic' magic circle?"
Roland's heart moved and looked at the new magic circle carefully.
This magic array is 90% like the Chaos magic array, but many details have been changed. As for why this change, Roland couldn't understand it at first, but he could see that these changes were completely in line with the basic principles of magic.
"Aya, did you change it?"
"Yes, I'm a mage. I can't stay in the hotel every day to watch those singers' performances? In my spare time, I think about the chaos magic array and then succeed."
"This magic circle absorbs power from the Chaos Sea... This power is different from magic power. Can it really be used to make magic fish?"
"I've tried it, yes. There is only one small problem, that is, the taste of mana fish is particularly weird and is even worse than the original 'mana fish'. Of course, it is not poisonous and has no other side effects except inadequate nutrition."
They are all about to starve to death, so why do you care about the taste? As long as they can satisfy your hunger, even if they are a piece of shit, they have to eat it!
"What is the conversion efficiency?"
"It can reach 100 times. A level 1 magic apprentice can convert about 50 kilograms of 'mana fish' a day. If it were you, as long as the fish used as the introduction is enough, it should be able to make 3,000 kilograms."
Level 1 magic apprentice, 50 kilograms a day, Roland can make 3,000 kilograms by himself. With the current power of the mage in the city, he can convert tens of thousands of kilograms of "mana fish" in a day.
The problem of insufficient nutrition is easy to solve. As long as you mix the existing grain and mana fish and eat it, there will be no problem.
In this way, the food crisis in Bashar City was solved immediately.
Roland let out a long breath, couldn't help but lean on Dandilaya's chest and kissed her hard: "Aya, your method has saved countless Glenmai people in an instant. You are simply the merciful Virgin sent by the Creator to Glenmai!"
