Banner of the Evil God
Chapter 804
Sui Xiong couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
On Earth, there is a group of people who are good at doing things and select a "Darwin Award" every year. This award is given to those who "destroy themselves through stupidity and make profound contributions to human evolution (Darwin theory)".
Simply put, "This guy is really stupid, not low IQ, but stupid! He is so stupid that it will greatly help improve the average IQ of mankind"... Well, that's roughly it.
Sui Xiong remembered that he had read a record that the people who won the Darwin Award over the years were different. In short, it made people feel that - damn, this guy's death will help improve human IQ!
For example, there was a skydiving coach who emphasized to the students the safety essentials that must be paid attention to when skydiving. Probably when he emphasized that "you must carry the parachute bag well no matter what, otherwise you will fall to death", in order to prove that what he said made sense, he jumped off the plane.
For another example, someone's sister stepped on the wire and was electrocuted to death. When the man explained the incident to his neighbor, he also demonstrated the scene at that time, also stepping on the wire without any protective measures with his bare feet.
For example, in order to prove to visitors that the floor-to-ceiling glass window of his office is very strong, a person suddenly jumped up and hit it after running up to accelerate - his office is on the 24th floor, and the window is a busy street - uh, above the street.
For example, a gambler plays the infamous life gamble "Russian roulette" with others. The general practice is to find a revolver, put only one bullet in the gun, and then turn the drum several times, and everyone takes turns to shoot at themselves. His practice is to find an automatic pistol and shoot at his head... Maybe it's possible that there was only one bang, after all, he only has one head.
The example that impressed Sui Xiong the most was a thief who tried to steal the oil in the tank by inserting a plastic tube into the car's fuel tank and sucking out the gasoline with his mouth. However, he found a cleaning car and inserted the plastic pipe into the place where the sewage was stored - in the end he died of poisoning.
In short, these guys provided people with many warnings and jokes, and Sui Xiong was always happy when he thought of their deeds.
Now, there is one more person in this line.
Sui Xiong felt that if the "Darwin Award" was also held in this world, this year's Darwin Award would definitely go to the God of Rain!
He told his ideas to his friends as a story, and everyone laughed and laughed happily.
In any case, the fact that "stupid to death" itself is enough to make people happy.
However, this joy did not last long. After only one or two months, problems arose.
With the fall of the God of Rain, the vows of the God of Drought were no longer resisted, and the rainfall in the entire main plane began to decrease significantly, which seemed to be a sign of the dry season.
This made mortals worried. Too much rainfall is naturally not good, but drought is even more terrible. Especially this year's drought without the relief of the God of Rain, I don’t know how strong it will be!
From the New Year to the spring snowmelt, the entire northern part of the main plane only had two rains, and neither of them was heavy. The south had a little more rain, three or four rains, but compared with previous years, it was too little.
Then, the spring ploughing season arrived.
On Earth, there is a saying that "spring rain is as precious as oil", which means that crops need rain during spring ploughing. Although this proverb does not exist in this world, there are similar proverbs with similar meanings.
And this year, this spring rain, which is as precious as oil, is really pitifully scarce.
After the entire spring ploughing season, there was only one rain in the northern region, a light rain, which lasted for about an afternoon and covered less than one-third of the continent.
There are not many rivers in the north of the main plane, and in general, it was originally a little dry - this can be seen from the large Gobi and grasslands in the north. Now there is no rain, and the drought situation has been greatly aggravated.
It is better in places close to the mountains, after all, there is snow water from the mountains, but the situation in the plains and hilly areas has gradually worsened.
The advantage of the south is that there are more rivers and lakes, and the foundation is relatively solid. Even if it doesn't rain much, you can rely on artificial water extraction to resist drought, and the situation is not so serious.
But none of the southern lords can feel at ease - God knows how long the drought will last! If it lasts too long, the south can't bear it!
Don't forget that the climate in the south is hot, and the water in the farmland evaporates very quickly. Moreover, the crops in the south are some big water users, and they can't lack water!
However, the development of things will not change according to people's expectations.
After spring is summer, as the climate gradually gets hotter, the drought situation is also getting worse.
In many places in the north, vegetation is gradually drying up. Farmers do their best to save even a drop of water, but there is no way to make the crops in the fields cheer up again, and the vast grassland that was once green has even appeared large areas of withered yellow.
The situation in the south was not so serious, but there were already many farmers who died from exhaustion in fetching water. Many lords even put on armor and led their troops to guard the water sources of their territories, ready to fight any enemy who dared to covet their water sources and defend the water of life with blood.
In this situation, the good gods could not sit still. They sent down oracles one after another, asking their clergy to help with disaster relief. Many good gods even sent down their incarnations, used their divine power to open the door to the water elemental plane, and led the rolling torrents into the sky of the human world, turning them into rain and moistening the earth.
At first glance, this method seemed very effective, but after just a few days, they had to stop.
The Lord of Order said that the gods were not allowed to interfere too much in the natural environment of the main plane.
He said that it was okay for one or two gods to blow wind and rain occasionally; it was also okay for earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, etc. occasionally. But hundreds of gods worked together to frantically draw water resources from the water elemental plane to bring rain to the human world, which crossed the line!
The orc pantheon was particularly criticized. Because the orc grassland was vast, the orc pantheon went all out. Hundreds of gods incarnated in the sky like a big net, opening plane channels one by one, connecting the water element plane with the main plane, and pouring down heavy rain on the grassland.
Criticized by the Lord of Order, the gods were immediately silent, and no one dared to bring rain to the world again.
As a result, the drought that had been temporarily relieved worsened again, and... it was even more serious than before!
