Xinghai continent, Silver Lion Kingdom.

    A group of uniformed young people, led by a middle-aged man, are busy in the field, including two young girls.

    In terms of religious belief in Xinghai mainland, the patriarchal church occupies an absolute dominant position, and the overall social atmosphere tends to be conservative. This kind of thing that young men and women openly mix together is rarely seen on weekdays.

    Anyone who dares to do so will not only be severely punished, but also be discredited and will no longer be tolerated by the mainstream of society.

    The owner of the field, a farmer with an old face, had a look of disdain in his eyes.

    The farmer stood in the distance, looking at these shameless young people, digging and digging in his own land, and his old face full of wind and frost, showing the color of heartache from time to time.

    “…… Mr. Gibson, how did the black potato become like this? It''s tuberous fruit, with a lot of black spots inside It''s so strange that the roots, branches and leaves of black potatoes look very normal... "

    A young man carefully observed the hands of the black potatoes, exclaimed in surprise.

    The middle-aged man, who is known as "Gibson", Wen Sheng replied:

    "Joseph, this is the" black inflammation disease "I said before. Its infectivity is terrible. There has been a large-scale epidemic in the whole Xinghai continent, and none of the three human Kingdoms has been spared..."

    Gibson''s words attracted the attention of all the young people. They all stopped and listened.

    "After the black potato is infected with" black inflammation ", the fruit buried in the soil will have this strange disease, that is, black spots appear inside the fruit As time goes on, the black spot will gradually expand until it spreads to the skin of the black potato In addition, the number of black potatoes will also be greatly reduced. According to the existing data, the decline is about 40% - 60%

    "It''s worth noting that the black spot part has a lot of toxicity. If you accidentally eat it by mistake, you will have severe diarrhea and a strong burning sensation all over your body, just like being roasted by the fire The part next to the black spot looks like a normal black potato, but eating too much can also cause diarrhea or vomiting... "

    A round faced girl couldn''t help sticking out her tongue:

    "my God, if you say that the black potato infected with ''black inflammation'' has become a poisonous potato?"

    Gibson nodded for sure:

    "Selena, you are absolutely right This is the most terrible part of the disease. Now in many parts of Xinghai, no one dares to eat black Potatoes Many farmers would rather buy black potatoes than be starved

    "You should know that in Xinghai, black potatoes are an important staple food, accounting for about 40% of the total Next month''s black potato harvest season is destined to be a huge disaster. "

    Gibson pushed the black framed eyes on the bridge of his nose, and his voice sank involuntarily.

    "What''s worse, because the three human kingdoms have strict laws that prohibit civilians from leaving the Xinghai continent at will I think that without the intervention of external forces, it would be difficult to avoid the super famine all over the whole continent, and many people would starve to death... "

    When the crowd was silent for a while, a tall young man suddenly clenched his fists with indignation and whispered:

    "we should eliminate the decadent aristocracy and let the tide take over the Xinghai continent Only in this way can we save more civilians! "

    This sentence quickly resonated.

    "That''s right!"

    "Gallas is absolutely right!"

    "Let the great lord rule the Xinghai continent..."

    "I remember your highness saying that freedom of movement is a birthright Damned nobles, not only don''t try to solve the problem, but also deprive the civilians of their freedom for no reason... "

    Gibson raised his hands and the young people were immediately quiet.

    He sighed and said:

    "I understand your feelings and support your views very much However, with regard to the future of Xinghai mainland, my Lord, the officials of the administrative department and the army will handle this matter well. "

    "Everyone, please remember that you are apprentices in the Agricultural Research Institute. Your most important task is to learn agricultural knowledge well, serve the great Lord, and serve haichaoling and Qianhu Republic..."

    Gibson''s sharp eyes swept every apprentice''s face and said in a loud voice:

    "each of you has the responsibility to avoid such a tragedy and repeat it on the land of haichaoling and Qianhu Republic Everybody, please work hard! "

    "Yes

    The apprentices drank together with high morale, and everyone''s face showed a strong sense of mission.

    Gibson nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the crops in the farmland, and said:

    "then, please cherish this opportunity of field investigation abroad, observe the infected black potatoes well, make notes as detailed as possible, and collect relevant plant specimens Think about the knowledge you usually learn about disease prevention and treatment, and think about how to treat "black inflammation"... ""I understand!"

    A group of young people answered loudly again.

    They seem to have played ten tubes of chicken blood, and they are working enthusiastically. Many people want to lie on the ground and don''t care about the dirty soil at all, even the two girls are no exception.

    Looking at this scene from a distance, the farmer could not help muttering:

    "these shameless guys are really strange..."

    However, there was a faint feeling in his heart that these young people were full of energy. He had never seen any young man in the village, including his own children.

    This is the envy of farmers.

    "What the hell? Anyway, they paid two silver nals, whatever you do Hehe, no one wants these black potatoes at all. It''s not a pity to pull them out It''s a bunch of idiots who even spend money.... "

    He muttered, turned and walked in the direction of the village.

    ……

    In a castle a few kilometers away, a middle-aged man dressed as an aristocrat was standing at the top of the tower with a single telescope, observing the apprentices in the farmland.

    "They look like Lord Rolt''s eldest son in their dress and manner. That''s a wonderful young man Why do they like to toss about in the fields like humble farmers? "

    The nobleman put down his telescope and whispered:

    "what a strange group of young people..."

    The housekeeper standing on one side approached quietly and said in a low voice:

    "master, according to the information I heard, they should be the people coming over there..."

    As the housekeeper spoke, he pointed to the north.

    "It is said that the church and the great nobles generally dislike them. If people know that they have stayed with Baron Ezra, it may cause you trouble Do you want to send guards to drive them away? "

    The nobleman turned his lips and said with disdain:

    "Hey, old Sorrell, I have to say, you are such a fool The people over there can''t be provoked by our little nobles. You''d better not have this damned idea in your mind. "

    "Do you really think that the church and His Majesty in the Lion King City dare to offend the God of war who is as high as the gods? If they have the courage to do it, will they watch the goods from the North flow into the Xinghai continent

    The nobleman clenched his telescope and suddenly lowered his voice:

    "what''s more, there''s something wrong with the wind now If I guess correctly, the coming famine will cause great trouble to the whole Silver Lion Kingdom. "

    He glanced at the housekeeper and said with warning:

    "at this time, we should not offend the people over there Even if you are abused or even beaten by them, you are not allowed to fight back. Do you remember what I said? "

    The housekeeper quickly nodded, which should be:

    "master, I understand!"

    The nobleman snorted, and as he walked up the stairs, he said in a vague voice:

    "if you want me to say Your majesty The throne Steady or not Maybe... "

    The housekeeper behind him was shocked.
