"These are...poppies?"

As soon as she approached this flower field, Illya recognized this "magic flower" that is famous in all the memetic worlds on earth.

"Yes, because of this, this place is hopeless. Let's go back!~" Xingke replied in a relaxed and cheerful tone.

However, at this time, no one was in the mood to take Xingke's joke. Even Illya fell silent because she figured out the reason for the mystery in an instant.

"Well, this matter is actually my fault." Xingke said frankly: "If we had driven all the way here, you would definitely have seen these little red flowers before entering the village, and all the mysteries would not exist. Maybe we would have

I can be more cautious."

Precisely because they came across space, all the mysteries only became clear at this moment——

First of all, the poppy flower is not a native plant to the Asian continent, nor is it a native species to this land. However, due to its strong climate adaptability, this plant can be called the most powerful economic crop in the world.

This village was indeed defeated, and it was precisely because of the defeat that it lost its land and property and became poor, so someone targeted them, targeting their poorest period after their defeat, and sent this strongest cash crop to

In their hands - euphemistically called relief and support.

Poppy poppy is indeed very powerful, with strong climate adaptability, fast growth rate, and no particularly serious diseases. The most important thing is that once it matures and bears fruit, it will be a real profit.

This kind of plant is much more profitable than high-yielding wheat. I don’t know how many times it has grown.

After all, wheat consumes a lot of manpower and animal power, and it is not necessarily possible to produce as much as you want during the harvest season. In the first year, you can barely make ends meet.

But what about poppy? Not only is there no need to worry about sales, but women and children can take care of large flower fields, and even livestock feed is saved...

So, of course, if you want to survive, planting these beautiful flowers is the best choice.

However, as soon as Hoshikatsu finished his depressing words, Emiya Kiritsugu squatted down, placed his right hand flat on the ground, and recited the curse of destruction——

The sourceless magical fire spread rapidly, and was about to swallow up those delicate red flowers before his eyes.

"Wow, Kiritsugu-san, you are really going too far. You burned someone's life-saving property like this. Doesn't your conscience hurt?" Hoshike said calmly:

"And it's useless. It's just some seeds. Those who provided them once will not be stingy about the second time. On the contrary, this time people from that village will take the initiative to ask for them."

It was very obvious that the people who provided the seeds had no good intentions from the beginning and were not afraid that the village would be out of control, because they very kindly told the people who were recommended to plant poppy the correct way to eat this plant...

"The people in this village are all drug addicts. If they were not able to produce and sell their own products in such a remote place, their economic situation would not be able to afford such a thing, let alone large-scale detoxification... You

Have you ever thought about how they will die in pain in the future?"

The moment they became addicted to drugs due to ignorance and greed, these poor people were already hopeless. Because the population was small, their brains that were eaten away by anesthetics did not even think about the fact that they had been sent by that group.

People with seeds are firmly in control and live in unfounded self-confidence all day long.

With no money and no knowledge, even if you feel your body is weakening, you can't resist taking another comfortable puff of smoke. However, after you finish smoking, you will forget all the unpleasant things, and then the eternal cycle of evil will begin.

It extends towards the abyss...

There will never be a chance of recovery, and no one will ever be willing to help them.

That's why they seem so miserable.

Otherwise, a nation that has survived on this land for thousands of years would not at least be so barbaric to the point of openly robbing the entire clan in broad daylight.

However, the people who were robbed by them are now turning around and burning their lifeblood... This is something worthy of condemnation no matter how you look at it? So Hoshikatsu "severely condemned" Emiya Kiritsugu's behavior

A "barbaric act".

"Teacher, what do you say?" Emiya Kiritsugu slowly turned around, with his back to the sea of ​​fire, and pushed up his glasses with his fingers: "But the matter of developing poppy cultivation areas in such backward areas, in fact,

It’s not that rare anymore, and I won’t be as desperate as when I first met.”

"Oh? Madam Ellie, have you encountered other poisonous villages?" Xingji turned to ask Irisviel.

"Well, yes, I've seen it in many places." Irisviel seemed to recall some sad memory, and her speech seemed a little slower: "Civilized society prohibits planting, but a country that lacks money doesn't care about someone's

A matter of life and death.

Cheap anesthetic raw materials are almost always provided by these backward areas. Unless it is really a barren land, there will really be no shortage of people promoting seeds."

"That's why you discovered something strange so quickly." Xingji seemed to have found the reason why they found the answer so quickly:

"But the fact of the matter is this, they are not going to be saved because of a fire, that's a fact, right?"

Hoshikatsu turned to look at Emiya Kiritsugu with great interest, eager to know what he was going to do.

Sure enough, Emiya Kiritsugu responded to Hoshiki's expectations very obediently. He said to Irisviel:

"Aili, can you please go to the village and help abduct all the children under the age of fourteen? Please."

Huh? What are this couple talking about?

"Of course, but can you leave it to me to judge the specific situation? Kiritsugu." Irisviel replied in a familiar manner.

They must have done it more than once, right!?

"Leave it to you." Emiya Kiritsugu nodded, then looked at Xing Ke and said: "Teacher, I am going to clear out the remaining poppy fields. You have to..."

"Of course with Mrs. Ellie!~ I have long wanted to play my little recorder."

"Ah, little Geese, do you want to help abduct innocent children? I don't have any reward to pay you?" Irisviel said with a smile.

Xingke responded in a very exaggerated manner: "What? No reward? Then I can only take revenge on you and kidnap your child on a full moon night... Ah, it seems that there is no need for it anymore.

"

"What nonsense are you talking about, you bastard? If you want to leave, leave quickly." Illya seemed to really remember a certain full-moon night, and she was embarrassed and prepared to go to the village.

But at this moment, Irisviel seemed to have thought of something, slapped her face, stopped Illya, and said in a very "pitiful plea":

"Ilyas, mother Ellie, I have little Giss following me as a bodyguard, but Kiritsugu is such a pitiful person. Please, can you help me follow him? ~Please~"
