No matter what the world or what era it is, the importance of food is self-evident.

The people live on food, and there is no food, but it is a big problem.

Although in the eastern part of the rich kingdom, there was no shortage of food for many years without war, and the price of food was relatively affordable, but this was not a war between Count Wright and Count Maccas.

At the moment, the intensity of the war between the two sides is not high, but the Count Marcas, who has suffered a loss, can really swallow this breath? I'm afraid not.

Once the conflict between the two sides escalates into a real large-scale war, it will certainly affect agricultural production in the eastern part of the kingdom.

After all, both parties are the top nobles in the eastern part of the kingdom, in addition to their respective forces, there is also an intricate network of relationships, it can be said that once the official battle starts, it will really sweep the eastern part of the kingdom, and almost no one can avoid it.

More than 100 years have passed since the last large-scale conflict between the two sides, and that time has lasted for more than 10 years.

Both sides, which were almost of equal strength, were defeated in that war and eliminated many noble families, causing the royal family to intervene directly in the eastern part of the kingdom and establish influence in the east.

I don't know if the two sides will tacitly solve the power of the royal family before this fight, otherwise it is estimated that it will be another situation where the snipe and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman.

Not to mention the possibility of a large-scale war, let's just say that the lords around Tilin Town don't have a good relationship with Claire, and if they want to buy food, it will definitely be impossible. Even the grain that Claire bought from other places would be destroyed by them.

What's more, the purpose of this batch of grain is not only to stabilize the territory. It is also the foundation for expanding the strength of their territory.

Only with food can we absorb immigrants and increase the population, and only with a sufficient population can we climb the science and technology tree, and only when the science and technology tree is up, can we have the hope of returning home.

Unexpectedly, I took Tiling Town all the way, and there was a problem with the granary, damn it!

When Claire arrived at the granary, Wade was already organizing people to put out the fire, but the fire in the granary did not mean to abate in the slightest.

"What's the situation?"

Seeing Claire, Wade looked ashamed and hurriedly reported.

"There was a little accident, I didn't encounter any problems when I took someone to the mayor's house, and I originally planned to take him directly to the manor to find you.

But when I got to the road, I saw a fire on this side, and it turned out that old Ivan, the housekeeper of the Hart family, heard the news of our entry into the town, and burned down the granary.

When I heard the news, I immediately took the mayor of the town to organize firefighting.

It's just that old Ivan used a lot of oil, and the fire couldn't be controlled for a while. I'm sorry! ”

"Forget it!" Claire waved her hand. "This has nothing to do with you."

Looking at the residents of the town one by one under the organization of the town mayor and soldiers, holding buckets to water, Claire shook her head, at this level of fire extinguishing, let alone extinguishing the fire, I believe that it is possible to burn down the entire town.

It's just that I can't care about exposure, I can only rely on myself, who called this batch of food very important.

Thinking of this, Claire took out a blank magic scroll from the storage ring and tore it directly.

In an instant, the people who were fighting the fire felt a hint of coolness and subconsciously looked into the air.

I saw that in mid-air, snowflakes began to fall.

"This is..."Wade saw Claire's movements, and his heart was even more puzzled, wondering where Claire got so many magic scrolls. He had already sold a batch of them in order to form an army before, how could he still have it now, could it be that he stole the magic tower of Three Rivers City?

Claire secretly cast her magic under the cover of a blank magic scroll.

Among the people present, Wade was the only professional, and he was still his own, and the others were all soldiers, so he was naturally not so afraid.

In a short time, the goose feather snow landed accurately on the burning granary, and the flames were quickly extinguished, and when the fire disappeared, the snowflakes in the sky also disappeared, as if it was just a human illusion.

"Thank you, Lord!" The mayor pounced, fell to his knees, and kowtowed to thank Claire. As an ordinary person, he didn't know what level of magic the magic just now was, but he could extinguish the flames in a short period of time, and the magic level would not be low, and it was possible for a medium-level or even high-level magic scroll.

Not to mention the high-level magic scrolls that can be found but not sought, the value of the medium-level magic scrolls is definitely only more than the grain in this warehouse.

The mayor didn't understand why the new lord had made such a move, but he knew that keeping most of the food meant that everyone wouldn't starve, and that they would survive the winter.

Wade understood why Claire was doing this, and there were mixed emotions in his eyes.

"It's... Isn't it something that isn't worth it. The price of this scroll is more than enough for two warehouses of grain. ”

Wade was telling the truth, due to the scarcity of magicians, magic scrolls were priceless most of the time.

Claire didn't answer immediately, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the restless energy in her body, and her face was a little pale.

The time to embark on the cultivation of demonic martial arts is still too short, and with his current strength, the backlash against his body is still too great to exert such a powerful magic. If it weren't for the strength of his soul, perhaps the magic would have seriously injured him.

The use of magic by leapfrogging, even in previous lives, is basically the reason why magic practitioners rank among the top three in terms of the number of falls.

Fortunately, it didn't last long after all, otherwise, maybe Wade would have discovered his accident.

Claire struggled to squeeze out a smile, and the magical energy in her body began to nourish her body, and her sickly pale face gradually faded and began to become rosy.

"There's nothing unworthy, it's food, and although the magic scroll is precious, it's nothing compared to so much food.

If all this grain is burned, what will the townspeople eat, do you want to watch them starve to death?

As the lord of Tilin Town, I have an obligation to protect the lives and property of my people, and this grain is their property! ”

Claire's voice was loud and righteous. There is a sincere element in these words, but more than that, it is full of performance.

When he first arrived, he changed lords, and the inhabitants here were completely unfamiliar with him.

The best way to settle down the town of Tiling quickly is undoubtedly fear and tolerance.

Fear, it's not quite in line with Claire's character, he doesn't care too much about life and death, but he doesn't want to kill innocents indiscriminately. Therefore, he can only show his benevolence and tolerance as a new lord to these people who are in fear.

In this way, he can quickly win the hearts of the people of Tilling Town, so that he can carry out the next plan.
