Wizard Immortal

Chapter 484 Storage

"There's no need to discuss the number of refugees anymore."

Sitting at the head of the table, looking at the officials below who were discussing amongst themselves, Adir spoke calmly: "Instead of discussing this, we should think about where these refugees came from and how to settle them."

"this···"

Hearing Adir's command, the crowd below exchanged bewildered glances. After a while, one of them finally spoke up: "Such a large number of outsiders appearing at the same time cannot be natives of Elka State; they can only be refugees..."

"But... from which country did these numerous refugees come?"

Facing Adir, someone asked in confusion.

Nobody's a fool. With millions of refugees flooding into Elka State, anyone could see something was wrong. It was impossible not to investigate.

"There's no news of unrest in the northern province of Sislan, nor have I heard of any rebellion in the Empire, so it couldn't have originated from here."

"To the west lies the famous desert empire of Kaidoze, but the people in this country have a unique appearance, which does not match the description of the refugees given by the governor outside..."

"The south is the most likely location... There are many small countries there, and the situation is complex. There might be some large-scale disaster there..."

"Enough!" Amidst the surrounding murmurs, Lu Xiu's booming voice stood out prominently, his expression extremely grave: "Where did these refugees come from? We can find out by asking the refugees themselves."

"As for now, you should all think about how to settle these refugees!"

He spoke with a serious expression, looking so solemn that it made people feel uneasy.

Millions of refugees—this is undoubtedly a huge problem, and if not handled properly, the consequences could be catastrophic.

Putting aside everything else, once these refugees start causing trouble, the final consequences will be terrifying.

"Do we have enough food?"

Sitting at the head of the table, pondering various questions, Adir then looked down at Lucius, his words carrying a questioning tone.

"Well... because there was no war last year, we were able to save a batch of grain."

Facing Adir, Lucius hesitated: "But this batch of food, if given to these millions of refugees, is definitely not enough. Even if we dilute it to a day's worth, it would be good if it could last a month."

This is indeed a real problem.

Elka State is located in a remote area with a sparse population, and its original food production was insufficient. Even after Adir came to power and integrated the entire Elka State, which alleviated the situation to some extent, the time was still too short.

Even if a certain amount of food is accumulated in just two years, it cannot be too much. Facing a scale of millions, it is simply impossible to sustain it for long.

Even millions might not be the limit.

Sitting at the head of the table, Adir thought to himself.

It is obvious that these refugees will appear in large numbers on his territory, rather than elsewhere, which is essentially a reflection of the world's inclination towards him.

Establishing a connection with the world consciousness and obtaining the source from it is a gain. As for the large number of refugees appearing now, they are the result of the world consciousness projecting itself through this connection.

Hearing Lu Xiu's words, the crowd below began to discuss among themselves, and bursts of arguments filled the entire hall.

Sitting quietly at the head of the table, Adir gradually fell into deep thought.

Without a doubt, these refugees must be taken in.

Whether or not to accept ordinary refugees is irrelevant, but this group of refugees is different. In essence, they are the last living beings in a world, protected and blessed by the old world, and many of them possess the qualities of wizards and knights.

However, the food problem is also a major issue.

It's not that it's impossible to get it, but for Adir, it goes against his original intentions.

"It seems we'll have to resort to some extraordinary measures."

His face remained calm, but he sighed inwardly. He turned to look south, his eyes seeming to pierce through layers of barriers and see the world outside: "I only hope that this won't attract the attention or vigilance of certain beings."

"No need to say anything more..."

He looked down at the noisy hall below, his calm voice resounding throughout the hall. Though not powerful, it rang precisely in everyone's ears, crystal clear: "Send word to the governors of various regions to begin accepting refugees."

"In that case, what about the relief food?" Hearing Adir's voice and seeing his appearance, Lucius dared not object, but only expressed his concern: "If we accept these refugees but then can't provide relief food, I'm afraid there will be big problems."

"Let's take a batch of grain from Sisley City first."

Adir spoke calmly, his aura seemingly shifting, radiating a profound and authoritative aura: "As for the rest, we can borrow from those small countries in the south."

"Your Highness intends to wage war against many in the south?" Lu Xiu was startled, then looked at Adir in front of him, feeling the heavy and terrifying aura of his bloodline, but said nothing.

Adir remained calm for so long that, in normal times, they almost forgot the true power hidden beneath his gentle face.

·······························································

"How are you feeling?"

Early in the morning, after the meeting, a few people were training on the quiet training ground.

Lera held a long sword in his hand and swung it earnestly, the sword occasionally drawing streaks of silver light in the air and creating ripples.

Opposite him, Slim held a short longsword and was wearing a gray training uniform, training with his body covered in sweat.

Besides the two of them, there was also Qi Mu, who was also standing here, training himself meticulously on the training field in front of him, adjusting his state with the help of breathing techniques.

Under Adir's watchful gaze, within the three individuals, as their training continued, a pale green seed was glowing at their hearts, harmonizing with their breathing techniques and gradually improving their physical condition.

The pale green seed was the Knight Seed that Adir had implanted in their bodies in the past. Now, as the three of them deepened their practice of breathing techniques, it was finally slowly activated.

"You can stop now."

After standing there and watching for a while, Adir spoke up: "The training of the Knight's Breathing Technique is not about training for as long as possible. Once you exceed the limit, it will only leave hidden injuries on your bodies."

"From now on, you only need to train to this level."

call···

Stopping from their intense training, the three stood there panting, covered in sweat, but their faces were full of excitement.

Because within them, as they continue to train, the seed radiating life energy is becoming more and more apparent, and it seems that given some more time, they will be able to truly master it.

Only when the Seed of Life is activated can they truly embark on the path of knighthood.

"teacher."

After finishing their training for the day, they put down their weapons, quickly walked up to Adir, and respectfully said...

Adir did not only take on Lera as a student, or rather, after taking on Lera as a student, he did not rule out taking on other students.

After all, teaching one student is the same as teaching a group of students. As long as the number of students remains within a certain range, the amount of effort required will not differ significantly.

As long as the students' qualifications meet the standards that Adir would approve of, he wouldn't mind taking on more students.

Slim and Chim are examples of this.

The two of them were blessed by the world no less than Lera, and their aptitude as knights and wizards was not much different from Lera's. That's why they caught Adir's eye and were taken in as students by him.

"Teacher, you said before that you would wage war against the southern countries. Is that true?"

Standing in front of Adir, after hesitating for a moment, Lera finally asked.

The reason I care about this issue is because of his position.

Besides being Adir's student, he also commands a knightly order in the city of Sisley. If Adir were to wage war against the southern kingdoms, he would very likely also go to the battlefield.

Moreover, besides this factor, he is also a member of the real world and naturally pays close attention to this war.

It should be understood that Adir's fundamental purpose in waging war against the southern kingdoms was to raise food supplies to appease the refugees.

The other two were the same; after hearing Lera speak, their eyes gradually turned to Adir, clearly showing that they were also very concerned about this matter.

"It's true."

Faced with the inquiring gazes of the three students, Adir didn't pretend to be mysterious and simply nodded: "By then, all three of you will have things to do."

The three were taken aback for a moment, then spoke in unison: "It's our pleasure to serve you."

"The inhabitants of that world descended upon this world, but although they arrived, they could not understand each other's languages."

Looking at the three students before him, Adir instructed them, "I need you to take people to various places to assist the local governors in pacifying these refugees, and also to screen out some of them."

"Teachers, doctors, students, officials... these people need to be recruited immediately. Experts and senior professionals from various industries, as well as members from various technical fields, need to be selected immediately and given higher treatment and protection."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Your world has already collapsed, but as long as people are still alive, there will always be a day when order is re-established."

"If you build this world well, you may be able to establish a prosperous city just like the world you once lived in."

"To achieve that day, these selected people will be the main force."

Looking at the three students in front of him, Adir spoke earnestly.
