Of course, the price has doubled accordingly.
Virgil, who bought a cup of iced juice, laughed even more joyfully after learning the price of the ice drink.
His business actually had potential.
While Virgil was dreaming of a bright future, a commotion arose at the city gate.
"Water, water, can soone please bring so water, there’s a big reward!"
Hearing this urgent call, Virgil looked over and imdiately noticed the speaker was Alike and the soldiers.
Behind them trailed a group of orcs who seed about to collapse from exhaustion.
Virgil instantly understood; these were the laborers O’Neill and Lucas had brought back.
The future residents of Hope Town, they are one of us now.
The next mont, Virgil stepped forward and said to Alike, "I have plenty of water, co on!"
With that, Virgil led the way toward the group of orcs.
Soon, rows of water barrels were placed before them.
The orcs, upon seeing the water, regarded it as their savior and eagerly picked up the wooden buckets, taking big gulps, passing the bucket to the next person once they had enough.
At this mont, other aid workers also ca with water and bamboo tube cups.
After this round of replenishnt, the orcs finally regained their strength.
Seeing they were alright, Alike let out a sigh of relief.
"What happened?"
"It was earlier this morning when an orc, using the Beast God Temple, teleported back and reported sudden drought conditions. Their carried water was used up, and they couldn’t find water anywhere. The orcs’ strength began to wane, and we needed people to rescue them. I brought a team to respond and also carried a lot of water, but we encountered many Demon Beasts along the way. After a fight, they made it to the territory but were in bad shape again." Alike explained helplessly.
They actually carried a significant amount of water, but who would have expected the weather to be so dry? The orcs, perhaps due to continuous travel, had their physical condition affected, and their strength dwindled quickly.
The most critical reason was that this ti the special weather was unusually severe, and the Demon Beasts encountered on the road were fiercer. They were constantly attacked and expended a lot of energy organizing counterattacks.
"Is the situation outside so severe?" Virgil asked in surprise.
"Unlike past special weather conditions, most of the creatures we encountered on the road were High-level Magical Beasts." Alike’s expression grew even more serious as he ntioned this.
Listening to this, Virgil felt a bit heavy-hearted.
The joy of newly developing a business was significantly diminished.
Disasters followed one after another, making life increasingly difficult for people.
In the end, it might co down to who can endure the longest!
At this mont, Zhou Bai and his party also received the news and learned about the situation from Alike.
His heart sank.
This is only the first day of the special weather, and even orcs with their exceptional constitution almost couldn’t hold on.
"O’Neill, Lucas, take your people to settle in first!" Zhou Bai directly instructed.
At this ti, after having water, food, and receiving treatnt, the orcs had sowhat recovered and were a bit bewildered!
But seeing familiar orc faces brought a slight sense of relief.
"Yes." O’Neill and Lucas nodded, then led the orcs away.
At this mont, the hundreds of wooden buckets stood out, and Zhou Bai looked at Virgil and asked, "You had all this water prepared beforehand?"
What were the Undead doing with such water reserves?
To sell it?
Thinking about Virgil’s attributes, Zhou Bai had already guessed that.
Listening to Zhou Bai, Virgil responded directly, "I stored it over in the Undead Kingdom. The Water Elent in the air over there isn’t affected, I condensed it into water and intended to bring it back to sell! I even had people over there collect it for , and quite a bit of water should be brought back in the following days."
If it had been anyone else, he would have kept quiet, but to Lord Zhou Bai, he had to be honest.
Hearing this, Zhou Bai was surprised, "No effect on the Undead Kingdom over there?"
"It seems it never really affects, but we always assud it’s due to our race’s characteristics." Virgil explained.
Alike and Bayer on the side both confird this.
"Previously, the special weather had little impact on the Magic Elents, but this ti it seems to have suddenly vanished, and the longer it lasts, the less Water Elent there is." Bayer spoke.
Previously, Advanced Mages could still extract a little from the air, but now there’s none at all.
Hearing this, Zhou Bai pondered deeply.
While all of Stan Continent is affected, the Undead Kingdom remains unaffected.
If before, she might have thought this was related to the unique constitution of the Undead.
But now, always wondering where Stan Continent’s depleted magic might be, she couldn’t help but suspect that the magic’s destination was the Undead Kingdom.
Only the Undead Kingdom, isolated for years, where no one casts a gaze.
Coincidentally, the Undead are also the favored of that deity.
Add these coincidences together, and it’s not just a simple coincidence.
With many people present, Zhou Bai didn’t voice her suspicions. Instead, she said to Virgil, "The territory invests in your business, can you fully collect water for us in the coming days?"
Whether her thoughts are correct will be proven in the coming days.
"Of course!" Virgil agreed without hesitation.
He knew this business had huge potential.
With the territory’s help, he could sell the water to many territories.
