Every time I come home, my wife is making garbage

Chapter 234 Beaver Dam
The three druids followed closer, and Zhang Jingyi now saw that at the riverside ahead, there was a group of one hundred people walking slowly forward along the tributary.

The one hundred people were clearly divided into two teams, led by two leaders.

One of them was Zhang Jingyi’s old acquaintance, Father Glass.

The other, wearing a suit of chain mail, looked like a lightly armed warrior.

Zhang Jingyi's eyesight was not good enough, but an owl was also an eagle, and the raptor druids had very good eyesight. A big owl said, "There is a horse head painted on the knight's helmet and shoulder armor."

Zhang Jingyi guessed it without even having to think: "It looks like they are from the Iron Horse Knights, subordinates of Grand Duke Soleimani. He brought fifty people with him, and Father Glass of the Holy See of Light also brought fifty people with him, and they came out together to find the reason for the drop in the water level."

The Tauren have lived in seclusion in the western forests for many years. They don't know much about what's happening outside and are quite naive. A druid said, "It turns out that Soleimani and the Church of Light are good people too. They will also come out to solve the problem of natural balance."

Zhang Jingyi: "This doesn't mean they are good or bad people. There are a lot of interests involved. To put it bluntly, it's the human race's innate [self-interest] that is at work again."

The cows: “???”

The eagles have a bad habit of scratching their buttocks when they are confused. One eagle forgot that it was in flying form and stretched out its hand to scratch its buttocks, but the eagle's wings bent backwards. Huh?
Yeah!

Niu Niu fell down with a swoop.

Zhang Jingyi was startled and quickly patted the owl he was riding: "Hey, stop scratching your butt."

Owl nodded: "Actually, I wanted to, but luckily I held back."

Zhang Jingyi: “…”

Swish, Niu Niu, who had just fallen, flew up again and caught up with Zhang Jingyi: "Ah, that was close, luckily I turned twice in the air and stabilized myself, and didn't fall to the ground."

Zhang Jingyi: "We are on a reconnaissance mission, be serious."

Three Bulls: "Okay, okay."

A group of people followed the person in front of them from a distance in the sky...
-
on the ground!
Walking at the front of the team was a magic swordsman under Soleimani named Kabi.

The magic swordsman profession requires not only to hone swordsmanship, but also to learn some low-level magic. Therefore, they can also communicate with various natural elemental spirits. Magic swordsmen can sense and call upon the likes of wind spirits, fire spirits, and water spirits.

This kind of person is perfect for investigating hydrological conditions.

The further upstream we go, the drier this tributary becomes. Now that we are here, there is no water in the riverbed...

Kirby said: "Look, this tributary has completely dried up. It has no water to flow into the West Wind River. Instead, due to its drying up, the water of the West Wind River has flowed back into the tributary, and the downstream will naturally form a dry phenomenon."

Glass: "Anyway, the problem lies in the upper reaches of this river? What does the water spirit say?"

Kirby closed his eyes and felt it silently: "The water spirit can't speak, it can only convey an emotion... I feel anger from the water spirit's emotions. It is asking us for help. There is something upstream that destroyed the river..."

Glass: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go upstream."

He came with a mission from the Golden Archbishop. Due to the promotion of the clockwork water pump, the influence of the dwarf god Moradin among the people was rapidly rising, which was very unfavorable to the Church of Light. The Church of Light urgently needed to do something good that would be spread by word of mouth and praised by the people, and this drought problem was undoubtedly such a thing.

If the river water can be returned to its place, the Holy See of Light can declare that the "God of Light" has solved everyone's difficulties. At the same time, the previous waterwheel can be used normally. The waterwheel does not need manpower to wind up the spring. It can scoop up the river water continuously by itself. At that time, the Holy See of Light can take advantage of the opportunity and suppress the clockwork water pump.

Kill the dwarf god Moradin as well!
Glass: "Hurry up, let's go."

Kirby: "Don't worry, this may not be that simple. The emotion displayed by the water spirit is 'anger', which is not an ordinary emotion. The problem we have to face may be unexpectedly difficult."

Glass didn't care what the water spirit thought: "Anyway, hurry up."

The group quickened their pace and continued to move forward quickly along the river. The further they walked, the higher the mountain became, and they entered the mountainside of the West Wind Mountains.

In the sky behind, three raptor druids and Zhang Jingyi descended to a low altitude and followed from a distance, hiding under the treetops from time to time. Surprisingly, they were not discovered by the people in front.

The two groups of people walked one after the other for a long time.

Kirby, who was walking in the front, suddenly cried out, pointed at the river ahead, and said with trembling fingers: "Everyone, look..."

Glass was also shocked when he saw it: "Dam?"

At the same time, the raptor druids far behind also froze in unison: "Dam!"

It turned out that there was a dam inexplicably built in the middle of this tributary!
The dam is tens of meters long and several meters wide. It has a solid structure and blocks the river water completely. A barrier lake has formed on the other side of the dam.

It’s a huge impounded lake with a lot of water stored in it.

It is obvious that the dry season a few days ago was because someone started digging a barrier lake to store water and building dams, causing less and less river water to flow downstream.

And a few days ago, the water level dropped a lot again overnight because the dam was finally built and sealed, completely blocking this tributary.

Zhang Jingyi was also stunned: "Is it really a dam? Holy shit, are you kidding me? In this era, how could it be built?"

His first feeling was that he was not the only one who traveled through time, but that other modern people had traveled through time and built something as outrageous as a dam. However, when he saw the performance of the three raptor druids, he realized that the dam had already existed in this world and it was not done by the time travelers.

Looking more closely, the dam in the river ahead is not made of cement, but mud, stones, tree trunks and other things. It seems that the craftsmanship is not at the level of modern people, but it seems...

A beaver did that?

Could beavers build a dam this big?

No no no, it's possible!
Zhang Jingyi remembered that he had read in some unpopular scientific knowledge that the world's largest beaver dam is located in Alberta, Canada. It is 850 meters high, twice as long as the Hoover Dam built by modern people. It can be seen from space and is incredibly spectacular.

As he was going through the information in his mind, three raptor druids said, "We must destroy this dam... otherwise... it will seriously disrupt the balance of nature and easily cause a major disaster."

"That's right!" Zhang Jingyi also spoke up: "This dam will destroy the already stable downstream ecology, and the size of the barrier lake is already quite large. If it suddenly collapses, it will cause a flood... We should make a small hole on it to let the water flow slowly..."
