It was originally a noble Dragon Blood Colt. Since its birth, it has eaten the best feed, ran on the best tracks, slept differently from those humble mounts, had its own independent stable, and received the most exquisite service. The mount friends around it are also noble Dragon Blood Magic Beast.

Ever since it was sensible, the mount friends around it have told it that their dragon blood mounts are different from the humble mounts outside. They have stood at the highest peak of mounts since they were born. This is a position that other mounts cannot reach no matter how hard they struggle. They will be bought back by noble nobles among humans, and then continue to enjoy better treatment.

And the experience from childhood to adulthood also tells it this, no matter what kind of mount it encounters, as long as it reveals a little bit of the Dragon Bloodline breath in its body, those mounts will lose their strength and fall limply to the ground, unable to move, and it will be able to walk by even more proudly, disdainful of those limp mounts.

Gradually, the mount friends around it were picked up by the human nobles. When it occasionally came back to change saddles and hoofs, it could hear their current status, which was exactly the same as the life in its dreams.

As it grows older, its body gradually becomes stronger and more powerful. It is regarded as an outstanding existence among the similar Dragon Blood Magic Beast. It is finally its turn to be selected for sale.

A young human noble fell in love with it at a glance and spent money to buy it. Seeing the other person's attitude of spending money without hesitation, it felt that it should have a better life than those mount friends.

After the human boy bought it, he didn't let it stay in the capital. Although it was a pity that he couldn't meet those friends on the road, he still felt that his future was bright. The only trouble was that on the way, there was a wolf that didn't know the heights of the world and kept roaring at it. No matter how many times it exuded its aura, the other party ignored it.

snort! A stupid wolf can't even feel the breath of dragon blood on his body, stupid guy!

You have no idea how despicable your status is, and you still dare to scream at yourself. When the time comes, you have to see for yourself how the master transfers his favor from you to me!

The good memories ended here, and the damn wolf howl came from behind again.

The dragon blood horse ran desperately, taking regular steps, its strong body quickly passing through the grassland, and the wolves behind it, led by the wolf king, pursued them step by step.

It was already feeling desperate. When it thought of the miserable life these days, it couldn't help but shed tears in its eyes.

This life is completely different from the life he imagined!!!

"Ouch!"

The wolf king looked up to the sky and roared, and the wolf cubs behind him instantly speeded up and bit the dragon-blood colt in front that was still running away. However, it didn't want to resist anymore and fell directly to the grass, with tears pouring out uncontrollably.

Those mount friends are lying to themselves!!!

The wolves dragged the scarred dragon-blood colt back, and the wolf king started spinning around Claire as if he was taking the credit.

"Ouch!"

Claire nodded with satisfaction. The training these days has finally achieved certain results.

The knights standing on the side also quickly stepped forward, picked up the scarred dragon blood horse, and ran towards the hospital where Rona was. They had become familiar with this set of actions in the past few days. After the horses were sent to doctor Rona after being bitten half to death, they were sent back alive and well soon after, and the training continued.

"Let's rest for a while and continue practicing after Rona is cured." Claire said.

"Yes! Lord Lord!" Hant responded.

Not long after Claire sat down, he saw Regan rushing in from outside.

"Master! Something happened!"

Claire stood up, "Huh? What happened."

Water Cloud Beast, who was lying on Claire's shoulder, saw Regan coming, and automatically floated to the top of Regan's head.

"Go, go, go!" Regan was so frightened that he waved his hands away, "We have business."

Claire also waved to call Water Cloud Beast back, "Stop making trouble, I'm leaving you at home like this."

As soon as he heard this, Water Cloud Beast immediately got into Claire's arms aggrievedly, looking obedient.

"Tell me, what's the matter? Is there a problem with the construction site?" Claire frowned slightly. If it was not a big deal, Regan would not bother him.

"No, the construction is going smoothly. The blacksmith shop has been built. Mr. Teklin is also very satisfied. Academy of Sciences is also going smoothly."

"What's the problem?"

"The river water has dried up! First, villagers came to report that the river water in their village had dried up. Then villagers from other villages came to report one after another, saying that the rivers in their villages had dried up. I also sent people to the nearest villages to check. The rivers used for irrigation have dried up, and the river beds are exposed."

Claire's eyes flashed. Farmlands are generally built near rivers so that river water can be diverted from the river to irrigate the farmland. Now is the wheat earing and maturity period, which is also the time when the most water is needed. Moreover, wheat is not only grown in the viscounty, many other crops require a large amount of water every day. Without river water, they will wither in just a few days.

"Hant, bring someone with you and let's go take a look." Claire stepped onto the Wolf King and led the knights in the military camp towards the village near Nafu City.

After arriving at the place, the local village chief greeted him and took Claire to the river near his village.

"Lord Viscount, this is the water source used to irrigate the farmland in our village."

Claire stepped off the Wolf King and walked towards the river. Sure enough, as Regan said, the river bed was exposed, and there were only a few low-lying small pools with water.

"When was it discovered that the river was drying up?" Claire asked.

The village chief on the side quickly replied, "This was discovered by the villagers who came to fetch water this morning at about five or six in the morning."

Then the knights who were sent to other places also came over on Gale Wolf.

"How is the situation?" Claire asked.

"Report to the lord! The rivers in the villages we went to have also dried up."

Claire's frown deepened. If there was no water, the agriculture of the viscounty would suddenly die on the spot.

"Regan, go back and get the map of the kingdom. Let me see where the source of these rivers is? It is impossible for them to dry up for no reason, and there is no sign of drought at all!"

"Okay, Master!" Regan quickly mounted the horse.

"Wait a minute, call Isaac over by the way." Claire then said.

"As you command!"

Claire stood on the shore looking a little anxious. The mage did know water spells, but such a large area and the amount of water required required at least a Archmage level mage to solve it.

If he were allowed to come, he would be able to solve the water consumption of one or two villages, and he wouldn't have to do anything else. He could just run back and forth all day casting water spells.

I'm at school, so the update is a bit late, please forgive me.
