How could people ignore such a major piece of news? All they needed to do was create a dozen or so major pieces of news to drown it out.
In a calm lake, waves could be seen even if a small stone was thrown into it. In a stormy sea, it was possible to sink several large ships without being discovered. In a chaotic environment of public opinion, a single piece of bad news was nothing.
"Oh, it's happened before."
When people sighed and then honestly "faced the future," Rorschach knew that he had just barely passed this obstacle.
People were always forgetful. Even if they were moved to tears by a tragedy or a good person's good deeds, they would forget about it if they saw it again one month later.
"Oh, what a pity. How pitiful. How nostalgic."
The true threat would always be the instant when the news exploded. That instant of anger would be more than enough to create a huge wave. But now, this crisis had already passed.
Vila Nova Dônia's advertising system was now fully operational. Now that this cover was uncovered, the disaster that happened that night would gradually be revealed to the world, bit by bit, until it would become part of the history of Vila Nova Dônia.
However, this definitely didn't mean that Rorschach's work had come to an end. In fact, in order to solve this problem, he made even more trouble for himself.
"Next year's lightning season will only last for four months … Don't ask me how reliable this information is. I heard this from the 20-member board of directors. Do you know the Oak Children? They're the ace of the Nature Faction. If their weather predictions are wrong, then nobody can be correct. "
The Oak Children had just joined Vila Nova Dônia, and they had already given everyone a huge gift.
As one of the core churches of the Nature Faction, nearly half of their members were druids. These fanatics were not welcomed in many places, but when it came to the understanding of nature spells and the natural environment, they were unparalleled experts.
Next year's lightning season would only last for four months, but that didn't mean that there would be eight months of non-lightning. It was just that the balance of nature in the wastelands had already been disrupted. The Oak Children predicted that the non-lightning season would last for seven months.
The previous annual lightning season was about to become history. The following lightning seasons would become rather irregular. However, in the Oak Children's blueprint, the duration of the lightning season would decrease.
Was this a good thing? Nobody dared to make any guarantees.
After all, the greatest selling point of the wastelands was the lightning season. In this fog-free lightning season, the people of Ansorenne would be able to enjoy the happy sunshine season.
If that was all, the Oak Children wouldn't have been in such a hurry to enter the wastelands.
"The density of magic mist is gradually decreasing? Is this information for real? "
When Roxia heard this news, he first thought that it was nonsense. But later, he learned from another source that this was not only a fact that had been confirmed several years ago, but it was also a message sent to him by the wood spirits through the Oak Children.
"Dear, most people won't tell you."
Along with the news came a very detailed report that was marked "burn after reading".
. The report basically stated that the magic tide was constantly changing, and so was the natural environment of Ansorenne. The density of magic mist was also constantly decreasing. Magic mist was actually the accumulation of special elemental particles, which meant that the density of these special elemental particles was decreasing … For other areas, this was basically useless information. The amount of magic mist accumulated over the years was far too astonishing. Even if the density of magic mist decreased every year, there wouldn't be any obvious changes.
According to my calculations, if the laws of nature were left to their own devices, it would take at least several decades for any obvious changes to occur. And, the speed of change would also be extremely slow. However …
"… Some areas are different. Every year, the magic mist particles will be expelled by lightning, so there won't be much accumulation. The magic mist should directly reflect the changes in the entire world …"
That was the end of the information. However, Rorschach had already imagined the rest.
If this information was true, then the magic mist in Hatley's wastelands would become thinner and thinner. In fact, it might even appear during the non-lightning season when the sun was shining brightly.
And this represented … tremendous commercial value and development potential. When you had resources and conditions that other areas didn't have, you would be able to make a fortune even if you didn't do anything.
Perhaps this change would only happen a few decades earlier than other areas. However, if you managed it well, you would be able to make a fortune even one year earlier, not to mention so many years later.
Perhaps this was why the Griffin Church and the Oak Children wanted to invest in Hatley's wastelands. They saw the possibility of this future and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.
The information also mentioned the reasons for this change. There were seven or eight theories that couldn't be confirmed, such as an Evil God's invasion that destroyed Ansorenne's immune system, a natural change in the Elemental Tide, or the awakening of the four Elemental Gods and Titan … At any rate, nobody cared about the reasons. What was important was how to deal with it.
"… Honestly, if it weren't for the wood spirits telling us, we wouldn't have known at all. Right, should we share this information with the Radiance Painting …?"
Rorschach was rather hesitant. After that incident, the two churches had become the most loyal of allies. This level of information would be directly related to future strategic decisions. However, if he casually gave this information to the Oak Children, it would be difficult to tell if the Oak Children would believe him or not. Even if they believed him, it would be difficult to explain how the information came about. If the Oak Children were related to the Nature Faction, there would likely be new problems …
[Don't be silly. Do you think that they wouldn't know if you knew? Perhaps they're hiding it from you. Perhaps they've noticed, which is why they're constantly increasing their investments.]
After hearing this, Rorschach could only smile wryly in response.
This was indeed highly likely. After all, this level of information shouldn't be a secret among the major churches. Others might not be able to recall the special situation in Hatley's wastelands, but how could the Eagle Crown and Radiance Painting, which had already taken root in Hatley, not have?
"… If that's the case, then this Wilderness Expansion Order is even more remarkable."
If the magical mist dissipated and the lightning season decreased, the natural environment of the wastelands would naturally improve. Risking danger to open up wastelands and develop new territories would be even more profitable.
After thinking about this carefully, Rorschach's smile became even more bitter.
He was basically certain that the four major churches had all received this information and made predictions before releasing the Wilderness Expansion Order. This was all in order to seize the opportunity and even plan to build a satellite city.
Perhaps the reason why they didn't pay attention to the development of their cities was because they felt that the benefits outside of their cities would be greater.
Meanwhile, Rorschach and the Game Church, who had always been leading in terms of information, were utterly defeated when it came to strategic decisions like this.
