The Law of Food Raising - 20

Chapter 20 - The beginning of the turmoil

The cold season in Kavos came quickly, with no snowfall, but everywhere was covered by a thin layer of frost. The frost was light gray, making the whole world look particularly gray and cold, as if wearing the cloak of a legendary necromancer. 

However, the lord's garden is a different story. Any place where natural plants are planted is like a paradise. Not only is the air fresh, but the environment is transparent. Although the leaves of some plants have withered, the frost on the trees is crystal clear, like ice sculptures with graceful postures. Under the tranquil appearance, contains vitality.

Everyone who enters the lord's plantation will have a dazed expression on their face for a moment, and then they will express sincere admiration.

Wei Chen walked into Courtyard No. 1 and saw Samus sitting by the grape trellis, teaching Hua Duo how to read and playing with her hair carelessly. The warm look on his face was completely different from usual.

Wei Chen looked at the grapevines on the trellis nearby. Although they no longer bore fruit, the stems and leaves were still green. It's really strange. Most of the other plants have withered, but the grape plant in Courtyard No. 1 is always full of vitality.

"My Lord." Wei Chen saluted Samus and reported, "I just received news that hundreds of people have frozen to death in several remote territories."

"Frozen to death?" Samus looked surprised. With the physique of the people of Thuran, there is almost no possibility of freezing to death. Even if you stay naked in the ice cave, ordinary people can last for more than three days, let alone a magician.

"Perhaps it cannot be said that they froze to death. There are also sudden deaths caused by various reasons." Wei Chen said seriously: "Although it is a bit unbelievable, it is indeed the case."

In the past, Samus and others would never pay attention to how many people died in other territories and how they died. But since the detection of harmful substances in food, they have to start paying attention to the changes in the physical quality of the population in various places.

From the recent news, it can be seen that the evil consequences caused by the new royal family have been revealed one by one, and human physique and immunity have been severely damaged. The average life expectancy is reduced and the mortality rate is increased. Although the statistics are not complete, some clues can be seen.

"Also, news about harmful foods has begun to spread in some areas, and we must take action."

Samus asked: "Have the tests on those plants been completed?"

"Eighty percent completed."

"Okay." Samus stood up and ordered, "Organize the information and prepare it for public release."

If the lanxuan was detected with harmful substances not long ago, which caused the credibility of the new royal family to be questioned by many nobles, then the news released by Kavos was nothing less than thunder on the ground, shocking the world, and completely turning the new royal family into the public enemy of mankind.

The colorful orchids can cause paralysis, the delicious green mushrooms can cause insanity, the widely planted rock yam dripping water is poisonous, and the popular fire phoenix feathers are addictive... Rows of information have been made public. There was a brief silence in the world.

Then, shock, disbelief, fear, overwhelming anger and condemnation erupted like a volcano. No one could believe that the new royal family would do such a heinous thing. If only one or two plants detect harmful substances, people can still reluctantly believe that this is just a coincidence. However, harmful plants have been exposed one after another. The facts are before their eyes. Anyone with a little bit of intelligence will no longer listen to the excuses of the new royal family.

There are fifty or sixty kinds of edible plants in the world. Of the dozen or so plants that have been tested, less than half contain toxins. As you can imagine, the chances of harm to other plants are high.

People all over the world went crazy. They began to destroy the fields where harmful plants were planted, attacked local consulates, and strongly demanded that the new royal family to step down. The world fell into turmoil.

On the one hand, Kavos calmed the people's emotions, and on the other hand, he called on the lords of various territories to bring different edible plants to Kavos for re-testing and screening out safe plants in order to adjust future planting plans.

Although the lords of various territories did not immediately condemn the new royal family, they ignored their strict orders and sent people to Kavos one after another.

The seriousness of this matter far exceeds their tolerance, and has jeopardized the evolution of their entire race. If they are kept deceived, they will slowly degenerate or even die without knowing it, and future generations will also be extremely adversely affected. Three to five hundred years from now, the proportion of those who have awakened to different arts is likely to be seriously imbalanced, and the average life span will be greatly reduced.

Such despicable behavior really breaks their bottom line. The new royal family has undoubtedly become the target of public criticism, and its prestige has been ruined. Even the new nobles who originally supported them have become more or less shaken.

Demonstrations and other protests soon occurred in the Royal City, but to everyone's surprise, the new royal family did not panic. The small-scale chaos was quickly suppressed by them, and they announced the abolition of the Oya family's nobility status and regarded it as treason. The other party will take back the ownership of Kavos and expel Samus permanently.

Samus had expected such a result. The Oya headquarters in the Royal City had been vacant, and the family members had turned from bright to dark. The Oya royal family, which has a history of thousands of years, knows everything inside and outside the Royal City. They are familiar with royal politics and are not worried about being caught by the new royal family.

As for the order to withdraw Kavos, Samus ignored it at all. One Kavos may not be a threat, but soon other territories will definitely break away from the control of the Royal City, declare independence, or choose to ally with Kavos. If Jintila, the new royal family, had the courage, they will send troops to encircle and suppress them.

The seeds of change have been planted, and they are just waiting for the time to come out.

"Sir, representatives from Selsha, Bodao, Ningjin and other territories have arrived." Wei Chen reported.

"Well, let's go." Throughout the cold season, Samus continued to receive messengers from all over the world. Hua Duo, on the other hand, was busy conducting preliminary tests on various plants. The commotion outside did not affect Hua Duo's mood at all. She was very happy to see more different types of plants.

Amidst all the busyness, the long cold season passed quietly.

Not long after the beginning of the new year, the first war against the new royal family broke out in Xinji.

It was widely speculated by the outside world that Kavos should be the first to declare war on the royal city. Because Kavos is not only the first territory to expose the conspiracy of the new royal family, but also, Samus is a direct descendant of King Thuran and has a lot of prestige in the hearts of the people. If he had planted the flag, at least a third of the territory would have responded.

However, it was Xinji, who had always been unknown, who was the first to declare war.

"Long-term consumption of rock taro can cause sore throat, gastrointestinal cramps, convulsions, suffocation, and even death from cardiac paralysis...cardiac paralysis, cardiac paralysis!" The lord of Xinji's eyes were red, filled with sadness and anger, "Shameless, extremely shameless! Jintila, I am at odds with you!"

His only son died of heart paralysis three years ago. If the harm of these plants had not been exposed, he would have just regarded it as an accident, but now the truth has been revealed. His son likes to eat rock yam. Since he was six years old, he has been eating this dish for almost every meal. After eating it for fifteen years, adults may develop abnormalities, let alone minors with low immunity.

On Thuran, where the birth rate is quite low, every child is a treasure to the family and the world. How could Lord Xinji, who had lost his child, not be angry or hateful? So, he declared war on the Royal City without any hesitation.

Xinji's action officially kicked off the war against the new royal family. The lords of all parties began to prepare for the war, intending to find a suitable opportunity to break away from the control of the Royal City.

However, before everyone had time to express their position, Xinji was suppressed by the third army in the Royal City and was wiped out. It was only a month before and after, and the speed of defeat was jaw-dropping.

For the first time, Jintila showed their powerful strength to the world.

"No, it's not that the new royal family is strong." Samus said, "It's that the local strength has become weaker!"

"What do you mean..." Chi Xiao looked solemn.

"That's right, the new royal family has caused the physical condition of our entire race to decline. The number of people awakened to magic has decreased, and the level of magic has stagnated. In addition, the seeds are controlled by them, and most of the territories cannot carry out a protracted war." Bai Dong analyzed, "On the contrary, the royal city has a large number of strong and advanced magic warriors, advanced weapons, and sufficient food reserves. It is fully capable of fighting against all territorial forces on its own."

Utrey said angrily: "Is it possible that they have more magical power than us?" You must know that most of the magical bloodline comes from the old nobles, and not many are truly loyal to the new royal family.

Chi Xiao thought for a moment and suddenly asked: "How long has it been since you have fought against a royal magician?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Bai Dong replied: "The last time was twenty years ago."

Chi Xiao nodded: "Twenty years is enough for them to advance to a higher level. Compared with the stagnation of the local magicians, the magicians in the Royal City who have not been poisoned are making continuous progress. The number of people may not be as large as ours, but their overall strength is not lower than ours, and may even be a bit higher.”

"No wonder you fell into Jintila's trap before and were parasitized by the parasitic vine. It's not that you are not strong enough, but that they are stronger." Bai Dong thought thoughtfully.

Chi Xiao: "In other words, this battle is much more difficult than we expected."

The conference room fell into dead silence.

Samus knocked on the table and asked, "What do you think the new royal family will do next?"

Chi Xiao replied: "Whoever dares to resist will be destroyed first. This will not only deter other forces, but also preserve their strength to the maximum extent. Unless the territories form an alliance and openly resist the Royal City."

Others also agreed. The Royal City does not want a full-scale war, and the local forces working in their own way do not have enough strength to confront the Royal City.

"I estimate that the situation will be temporarily calm in the next period of time. Other territories will not rashly declare war on the Royal City. They are all waiting for our reaction." Samus said. As the main direction of the war, the success or failure of Kavos will directly affect the future pattern of the entire world.

"So, what is your decision, sir?" Everyone looked at Samus together.

Samus' eyes were dark and he said firmly: "One word, fight!"

He cannot continue to remain silent when local morale is severely damaged. If he wants to fight, he will fight without any hesitation!
