At the beginning of summer, the city of Wende was steaming hot, and as time went by, the weather became hotter.

Due to the imbalance between the fire element and the water element, if it is in the afternoon when the sun is at its strongest, people will even feel that their throats are being burned when they breathe, and in this weather, it is extremely important to replenish water, whether it is human beings or crops!

Sitting under the hot wooden shed, the farmers waved their fans in their hands, swallowing the scorching air, and their minds seemed to have been burned by the heat.

Someone glanced at the ice buckets that had melted into a bucket of water, the ice that had absorbed all the heat and melted seemed to foreshadow their future......

"It's just morning, but it's so hot......"

A farmer licked his chapped lips and looked at the wheat field with concern in his eyes.

The water in the ditches evaporated, moistening the air, but making it even hotter for many farmers.

Even if the crop they grow is wheat, in this case, they even feel that the Sorrowful Wind Collar may suffer from a drought, the last drought was more than 30 years ago, and only some old people still have memories of those years.

Swallowing his saliva and moistening his thirsty throat, a farmer suddenly said, "I'm going to go to the town hall and ask, if this continues, the drought will definitely come." ”

His voice was low and emotional: "If it goes on like this, our harvest this year will ......"

"Alas......"

Hearing his words, the farmers who were looking at the farmland in a daze sighed one after another.

Although ditches have been dug and new farming tools have been used to help irrigate, the water level in the ditches has been decreasing, and according to the current situation, it may not even be able to survive until the end of autumn, let alone the end of summer.

In previous years, they only needed to water once every few days or even ten days, but this year, if they didn't water for a few days, the ground would crack!

And it's still the beginning of summer, and the weather is already so hot, if it is late summer or even mid-autumn, the weather will definitely be even hotter.

If we don't solve the problem, let alone affect the harvest, how much we can harvest this year is a big question!

"In order not to affect the harvest, let the mages prepare for artificial rainfall, and those who have obtained the 'Ice Elemental Mark', let them prepare to work, the Sad Wind Leader does not support idlers, and they have also taken benefits, and it is time to use them. ”

It was not their head maid who was now standing in front of the civil servants to give orders, but Miss Edith.

"If someone doesn't want to, throw the bill in front of them and make them understand how much money they've spent in the year or so!"

The civil servants looked at Miss Edith standing on the stage, and felt that she was becoming more and more like a maid grown-up, and even spoke so strongly.

"If they are still mages hired by the Duchy government, then they can pay off these debts through work, if not, let them pay, and not according to the eighty percent discount of the Duchy Mage, let them hand over all their money, and if the money is not enough, rip off their equipment for me!"

Edith slapped the table and said sharply: "Since the contract has been signed, then I have to work according to the requirements of the contract, and the contract has been written that if anyone dares to violate it, give them a few days to raise money, and after a few days they still can't pay off the debt, they will pick up all the equipment on their bodies, so that they can understand that we are not easy to mess with!"

"You bring the police, if those mages dare to make trouble, let the police deal with them, let the police bring weapons and equipment, wait for me to write you a letter of approval, approve the police to bring the demon breaking dagger, whoever dares to make trouble, let him understand what is called 'technology is king'!"

"Adjournment!"

Edith packed up her paperwork and wrote a note to the civil servant, then left the small conference room with the papers in hand.

Walking to her office, Edith sat back in her chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

Now there is not enough manpower in the entire city hall, and after the training, it will be sent to other territories, not to mention her, even the head maid does not have a secretary, and many things need to be done by himself.

However, this kind of life is very fulfilling for Edith, and she can deeply feel that she is following in the footsteps of Sister Serena and changing the world with Sister Serena.

The resulting sense of accomplishment made her intoxicated and unable to extricate herself!

She didn't have to be a prop for marriage like other aristocratic women, and avoided such a sad fate.

Although she is now bound by her work, she is free, unlike other aristocratic women, who are bound by family, interests, and in-laws, and cannot do what she wants.

Her mother, who was appointed Minister of Health, was working hard and did not have the time and opportunity to discipline her, and now she is free!

Edith liked her words very much, and in the process of learning from Serena, Edith was unconsciously imitating her, and those words just now were one of the results of Edith's learning.

If it was before, even when her father was still alive, she wouldn't dare to order those mages like that, but now times are different.

In the past, the status of mages was noble, even some wild mages who had only learned a few hands of magic, they were also admired and feared, even her father would not be so arrogant to her mage advisors.

But what about now?

Even if Serena lowers the salary of recruiting mages, they will still rush to join the official mage organization of the Duchy of Sorrow.

Because there is knowledge here that they want to learn, and the knowledge base of the official mage organization is open, as long as they have enough contribution value, they can redeem and learn that knowledge, and they don't need any permission level, just enough contribution value.

There are only a few ways to get Contribution Value, either through work or by inventing something new, and there is no other way to get Contribution Value.

Except for the need to go through some identity checks before joining the mage organization, and sign a contract blessed by the divine power of the goddess of wealth, the rest of the conditions are very relaxed, as long as you join, you can have the permission to read and copy the spells of the first and second rings, but it is only a spell, and other knowledge also needs to be exchanged through contribution points.

That alone is enough to make many mages scramble.

Now those mages are like their employees, the assigned work needs to be completed, and after completion, there will be performance, and if they can't complete it, they will work hard to do it, but if they don't want to do it, then I'm sorry, it can only be bound by contract.

Thinking about it, Edith sat down in her chair and smirked, this sense of accomplishment is really addictive!

'That's right!' Edith suddenly remembered something.

She remembered that Sister Serena seemed to have told her to go to the forty-eighth floor of the Mage Tower this afternoon, was there something to tell her?

Edith looked up at the clock hanging on the wall and pursed her lips.

There are still three hours until fourteen o'clock, and time flies really slowly......

With a sigh, Edith sat down again, sitting behind the table in a daze.

Although there may be a drought in the Sorrowful Wind Collar this year, everything has been prepared in advance, and all she needs to do now is sit here silently and wait for the news to arrive.

The busy time had passed, and it was time for her to finally rest for a while, the leisure time she had been looking forward to for a long time...... But for some reason, now she feels so bored.

It's boring!

With that in mind, Edith glanced at the clock again.

Two hours and fifty-eight minutes until 14 o'clock......
