The little swan felt something was wrong.

This morning she ran over to find Sister Wang, and saw Louis having breakfast with Sister Wang.

The atmosphere was weird.

She didn't know how to describe that feeling.

She could only feel their gazes sticking together.

"Sister Wang!"

The little swan shouted and flew into Beatrice's arms.

After a moment, she said somewhat oddly:

"Where are your clothes, Sister Wang?"

Beatrice was stunned: "I am not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

The little swan's small eyes flashed with big confusion:

"I mean your favorite outfit? Why did you change to this style today?"

Beatrice's expression was a bit awkward, unconsciously avoiding the little swan's gaze:

"Today we are having the final talks with Tunisia, isn't it reasonable to wear something more formal?"

"Sister Wang is lying." The little swan said without hesitation, "Every time you lie you can't look me in the eye."

Beatrice muttered in her heart:

"Idiot, isn't it because I feel guilty lying to you? Cheating an idiot makes me feel uneasy!"

Louis coughed.

He took the initiative to help Beatrice change the subject:

"Olivia, how's the discussion going over there in the White Tower?"

When Olivia heard this, her attention was instantly diverted:

"Those combat mages are quite something, and what they're researching is indeed useful. The information you hoped to complete from them is collected more thoroughly than I imagined."

The little swan took out a map from her dimensional bag and handed it over.

"This is the newly completed atmospheric circulation map."

Louis took it, glanced at it, and said:

"Impressive, there are high-level mages in Tunisia!"

The little swan nodded and said:

"After all, it's one of the three human nations; if it wasn't strong, it would've been overturned long ago. So what do you need this thing for?"

Louis said:

"Beatrice and I discussed it and intend to initiate a special project."

Without needing Louis to remind her, Beatrice directly activated the sound-blocking array.

Louis looked at the parchment the little swan handed over.

It wasn't ordinary parchment but a magical version of dynamic mapping tool.

This thing is generally used in the records of some dynamic studies, somewhat like those various data analysis software from his previous life.

On the parchment was a map mainly from Ense to Tunisia.

Above the map, lines representing airflow movements were densely interwoven, continuously delivering moisture from the Sea of Swords, Sea of Radiance, Giant Sea, and Fallen Star Sea to the two nations.

The entwined moisture was like rivers of the sky, suspended above the land.

These rivers of the sky transformed into more than 83,000 rivers between the two neighboring human nations.

The constantly flowing rivers turned the two countries into one of the regions with the most rivers and the wealthiest landscapes worldwide.

Louis' finger brushed over the parchment.

He showed a look of admiration:

"In the familiar stories of the Enseans, they settled along rivers, eventually coexisting with rivers and fostering the brilliant Ense civilization."

"But what I want to say is another matter."

"In public records alone, Ense has experienced more than 6,000 documented floods and droughts. It could be said that whether it's Tunisia or Ense, they're one of the countries on the Star Continent with the most water-related disasters."

"Since the founding of the nation, amidst these millennia, Ense has never ceased its tug of war with droughts and floods, even today when magical tools have entered ordinary households."

"Managing the rivers is a decision that Beatrice and I made together. We are going to initiate a massive project that covers all of Ense."

"Completing the talent exchange with Tunisia is one thing, but what's more important is that we need a large number of low-level combat mages to join this plan."

Louis pointed to a massive river traversing the entirety of Ense.

Beatrice said:

"We plan to start with the largest, longest, and most extensive river in the Ense Empire."

"Olivia, have you understood any data related to the giant river?"

Olivia snorted:

"Underestimating me, right? The annual runoff volume of the giant river accounts for 36% of Ense's total river runoff."

"According to the White Tower data, a single giant river equals 17 times the net flow of Ense's second largest river."

"During the flood season, the runoff volume of the giant river can even reach three times the usual amount."

"Such a surge in water volume is extremely likely to cause massive disasters downstream."

Louis added:

"Eleven years ago, the giant river entered a high-water period; the large-scale rainfall caused by humid air masses blowing from the Fallen Star Sea has slowly increased the river's runoff in these years."

"If this continues, a large-scale disaster could occur within the next ten years."

The little swan nodded and said:

"There is indeed such a possibility."

But now she wasn't thinking about the river issue.

"Enchantment Nation, this time I've caught your little tail, haven't I?"

This disaster, the little swan remembered.

In her previous life, Enchantment Nation once said, "If there's no meat, why not eat bread."

This remark caused an uproar at the time.

The reason was that the middle and lower reaches of the giant river encountered a once-in-a-century major flood.

To be precise... it was the second time.

When the high-water period began eleven years ago, the giant river launched a sneak attack, directly flooding many towns.

But this was far from the impact of the second major flood.

In the little swan's memory, she only remembered two shocking numbers—

The highest water level of 53.12 meters and a flow rate of 90,000 cubic meters per second.

This was the data from the giant river's second flood.
