Gavin was far more efficient than they had imagined, and before they had evacuated the Abbey, he arrived with a large number of spellcasters, numbering more than hundreds, because he had brought not only transcendent druids, but also various other professions, and even a few non-humans.

He was so thoughtful, and he had thought more than the seven councillors in Misty Hollow had discussed.

Regardless of whether this fire is aimed at you or not, since it happened at this juncture, you must investigate it clearly.

This kind of generosity really shocked the seven councilors of the Misty Valley, the conqueror army can have such a big name, it is by no means a waste of fame, in a short period of time, to be able to mobilize so many transcendents, the valley is afraid that no one of the valleys can do it.

With the cooperation of more than a dozen transcendent druids, not only did it rain heavily over the warehouse, but it also rained lightly throughout the valley of golden wheat bales, preparing for a possible fire in the future.

Supreme Councilman Hareske recounted the possibility of a chain to Gavin that they had previously discussed.

Gavin was silent for a few seconds before he suddenly asked Janella a completely unrelated question, "Patriarch, before we do that, can we meet the storekeeper of the middle warehouse?" And the first to spot the fire. ”

He was preparing to start with the fire in the granary, peel back the cocoon, find more clues from it, and judge the nature of the whole thing.

Janella said with a heavy face: "Sister Greta, the first person to discover the fire, has been found, but the manager of the middle warehouse, Brother Cragg, is currently missing, and the last person to see him is also Sister Greta, it is said that he is on the way to the middle warehouse to inspect, and he is likely to have unfortunately died in the fire." ”

The patriarch of the monastery had already begun to investigate the cause of the fire in the warehouse, which coincided with Gavin.

"Have you tried to resurrect Brother Kragg?" All transcendental professionals save themselves a resurrection hand, and these priests are no exception.

They will have a special secret storage room to store a part of their monk's body, not necessarily limbs, but also hair, in case of accidents.

"I've tried, I've tried it myself, and I don't perceive the soul that belongs to Brother Kragg." Janiela's face darkened.

Because there are only two possibilities for this to happen.

Monk Krag is either not dead, or his soul is no longer there.

Either way, it was not good news for the Golden Wheat Bae Abbey.

If it is the former, it means that Brother Krag has a ghost, and there is a problem with the granary he is in charge of, and the person concerned is missing, no matter what you think.

If it is the latter, it means that the Golden Wheat Bale Monastery has lost an extraordinary priest, even if the fire in the granary is big, it is a mortal fire, it is impossible to burn a person's soul away, only those special means for the soul can do this.

"It seems that in order to determine the nature of this fire, you have to go deep into the fire." Gavin said with a solemn expression, he didn't have time to wait for the grain in the granary to burn out, which would last at least a few days.

"Into the fire?! How to go deeper? The fire is so big! ”

"Do you have equipment or spells that make you immune to fire? In this way, you can go deep into it. ”

"Even if you have a fire immunity method, it's very dangerous, it's very unstable, and there is a possibility of explosion at any time."

The seven councilors of the Misty Valley were stunned for a moment, and then reacted, for ordinary people, this level of fire is indeed useless, but for powerful spellcasters, it is not impossible to think of it, as long as they have the ability to avoid fire, even if they can swim in magma, what is this fire?

It's just that whether it's such spells or equipment, it's very rare, and every piece is priceless and hard to find.

"We don't need flame immunity, we enter from the aether plane, as long as we are in the shallow level of the ether plane, we can peek into the warehouse from the ether plane, which is enough for preliminary investigation." Gavin had clearly figured out a strategy, and as long as he was willing to use his brain, there were many more ways than he imagined.

"This is indeed a solution, but the duration of the transformation spirit is too short, and you must use the Nine Rings to travel to the Spirit Realm."

"Could it be that Sir has a quasi-legendary caster under him who can cast a fellow wandering spirit world?"

The seven councillors of the Misty Valley were surprised and delighted, they hadn't thought of this solution before, because they didn't have such a powerful existence among them, and they couldn't find a suitable help for a while.

The ether and the material plane completely belong to two worlds, even if the two sides are close to each other, in addition to the force field effect, the condensation effect and the protective spell can be extended, other physical forces and magic effects, this monstrous fire is no exception, not to mention an explosion, even if the entire mountain collapses, as long as their spells continue, it will not have any impact on them.

"Yes." Gavin nodded and said, "Patriarch Janiela, this matter still needs your cooperation, you are most familiar with the middle warehouse, we need you to lead the way, if the mist enchantment is still there, you also need to authorize the passage." ”

"No problem, I can't shirk my responsibility for this matter." Janella nodded without hesitation and said, "It's just that before that, we'd better make sure that the grain in the other two warehouses is safe, after all, the grain in the middle granary is already difficult to recover, and it's okay to track it down sooner or later, but once the grain in these two granaries has another problem, our failure in this transaction is small, and the impact on Jazz's overall plan is big." ”

"It's fine." Gavin thought about it for a moment and nodded, "Alhashan, this task is up to you." ”

He did not pay attention to the safety of the grain in the other two warehouses at all, after all, this was directly related to the problem of the conqueror's army for the winter, at least for half a year, the price of grain in the valley would only rise and not fall, and he had invested too much in the expedition to the Tukan army, and in a short period of time, there was no more financial resources to buy high-priced grain.

I have to say that this time the enemy's tricks were very clever, and he hit him exactly seven inches, even if there was no way to kill him, it made him very uncomfortable.

"Yes." A large human-faced python emerged from behind Gavin, spitting out a human voice.

"Spirit Naga!"

"Chaotic Evil Creature!"

The seven councillors of the Misty Valley stared at the Spirit Naga with a frightened and wary gaze, for them it was a terrifying monster that could have poisoned them directly with the poisonous juice that spewed out of its mouth.

"Parliamentarians, don't worry, he's also my subordinate." Gavin simply reassured, "Patriarch Janiela, please open the ban and let him in." ”

Their reaction is normal, and many of the ideas are ingrained in ordinary people.

This concept is difficult to reverse in a short period of time, and Gavin does not need to reverse it, as long as he ensures that the spirit Naga is easy to use, this kind of task with a relatively high risk coefficient is the most suitable for giving it to the innate ability to resurrect, and whether it is wisdom or ability, he is quite good.

If there is really a trap in the two granaries of the east and west, it is very likely that it will break it by itself.

"Okay." Unable to refuse, Janiela was able to give the Spirit Naga a special mark of the Zentia Emblem, which was the key to free access to the Mist Barrier of the Eastern Warehouse.

The Spirit Naga slipped through a not-so-large gap in the East Warehouse and slid all the way into the darkness.

The waiting time is the longest, obviously it feels like a long time has passed, but when I look at the time, only a few minutes have passed.

After pondering for a while, Patriarch Janiela couldn't help but speak: "No matter what the fire is in the middle warehouse, we can't trade this batch of grain in full this time, Lord Sir, how do you think this matter is appropriate?" ”

If Gavin had roared in anger, Janiela might have felt better.

But from beginning to end, he was silent and cold, which made her feel like a big stone in her heart, and she couldn't breathe, just like the two people before.

There is such a thing as power, and it has little to do with age, personal strength is only one aspect, and power and money will provide him with great bonuses.

Janiera's uneasiness stems from the fact that the other party has the strength to completely destroy them, and even the entire Misty Valley.

Gavin didn't answer and asked, "How much grain is there in total for your two remaining warehouses?" How much grain is hoarded in the warehouse? ”

"The remaining two warehouses will not exceed 3,000 tons when they are full, and the middle warehouse was originally this number." Janiela replied truthfully that they had only traded most of the grain with Gavin before, leaving at least a thousand tons for backup.

Then the patriarch added: "We cannot trade all the remaining 3,000 tons to you, we need to keep at least 500 tons of grain for our own use." ”

Two thousand five hundred tons.

If it is calculated according to one kilogram of grain per day, it can last the conqueror's army for about two months, and they themselves carry a month's supply, and they themselves have saved a little in advance in the land of the three rivers.

But all of them add up, and it's only enough for them to eat for four months.

Don't forget, there are nearly 20,000 kobolds in the land of the Three Rivers, and the population of the conqueror's army of more than 40,000 just now is just calculated, not counting the almost same number of livestock, let alone the subsequent immigrants who came on their own under the influence of the conqueror's army.

It is now the third 10th day of October, and it will be difficult for us to survive this winter with these grains alone, and the large-scale grain harvest will not be until at least May or June next year.

That is, there is a shortfall in food for at least three months.

It doesn't sound like much, but when you add in their sheer size, it's not a small amount.

I was just about to spend a few days of free life, but I didn't expect to have to tighten my belt again.

Gavin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As for the huge food shortage, he was just a little uncomfortable with something else and wasn't particularly worried.

I was not just starting out, I had no resources, I had no connections, and I had to do my best to move.

I have a lot of ways to think now, such as increasing the development of Yevon Pond, using the abundant aquatic products here to make up for a part, it is not easy to make up for the whole gap, interspersed with a month or two, it should not be difficult.

The Great Forest of Comanso can also be included in the list of food sources, and hunter-gatherers can also supplement some of it, but this option is very low in Gavin's list, after all, he is somewhat famous among the natural races such as elves and elves.

This kind of fame was established with great pain, and it was blessed by the power of fate, and it was the enemy of the evil gods, and it was the appreciation of the gods of nature.

But if you want to destroy it, it is extremely simple, you only need to cut and hunt indiscriminately, and it won't be long before your reputation will be stinky, and most of the spirits will be disgusted with him, let alone use it for him.

Although the forest lady Mericay appreciates the use of forests in moderation, this moderation is very learned.

What is temperance called?

In the eyes of different people, there are different standards, let alone between different species.

Many things that are called moderation by human standards are already considered indiscriminate deforestation in the eyes of those elites.

As for the restrained use of forest resources by the elites, in the eyes of other intelligent races, it is extreme conservationism.

If Gavin wants to take care of everything, he has to take a relatively narrow concept.

This is the price that must be paid if you want those natural races to be used for yourself.

No one is perfect.

In addition to this, Gavin has another killer feature - using cloud rays to fly grain over long distances.

There is an old saying that you don't transport grain for thousands of miles.

But in this matter, a precondition must be added, that is, there is no convenient transportation condition.

The transportation of grain from Komir and the valley to Seysk has long gone far beyond that.

That's because there is a sea of falling stars, and they can carry out large-scale sea transportation by ship.

Therefore, now the price of food is soaring, only the country on the coast of the Falling Star Sea, which is thousands of kilometers away from the Falling Star Sea, and the food price there is only a little higher, far less exaggerated than the exaggerated point that the valley has tripled.

If the grain was transported on a large scale from the vicinity of Tesser, Am, and Am, even if it was convenient for the Conqueror's Road, most of it had already been eaten by the grain transporters before the grain arrived.

But Gavin had in his hands an air delivery vehicle that ordinary people did not have.

After actual test comparison, it was found that the air carrying capacity of the cloud ray was much more exaggerated than Gavin's initial estimate, with a light load limit of 100 tons, a medium load limit of 200 tons, and a heavy load limit of 300 tons.

The cloud rays they now have in their hands are not one, but two.

After seeing firsthand Gavin's terrifying prowess in Bloodgap and Colossus, the trio of thieves made the wisest choice to accept his hire to search the world for traces of cloud rays, wyverns, vultures, griffins, spiny-tailed lions, giant eagles, and other aerial monsters.

The first trophy they contributed was the male cloud ray in the green fields.

Cloud rays are magical monsters that do have a natural camouflage color, and even with the help of a black-winged wyvern, it is difficult to track them down with the naked eye.

But Feren is a magical world, and there is a god who specializes in tracking the priesthood.

Whether it's tracking related special abilities or magic, I don't dare to say that there are so many of them, at least not particularly rare.

The trio of thieves has this ability and magic equipment, the half-elf thief is not a believer in the god of thieves Max, but the god of tracking Gui Lun, who originally relied on the god-given creature tracking ability to chase the female cloud ray for more than half a month, across the entire Troll Mountains and the Giant Plains.

That's why Gavenken paid a lot of money to hire them, if they were just a bunch of ordinary thieves, it wouldn't be worth his own recruitment.

With the convenience of such a convenient air vehicle as the Black-winged Wyvern, they can be said to be like a tiger with wings, and it didn't take much time to lock on the trail of the male cloud ray.

The rest of the things, basically needless to say, after the first successful experience, Gavin concocted the same method, and easily took down the male cloud ray, the process was easier than taking the female cloud ray.

Because the female cloud ray in the Giant's Plains was obviously abnormal, she was at least half the size of the male cloud ray.

The female is 38 meters long, while the male is only 25 meters, barely reaching the super giant range.

This is not a difference between males and females, as all adult rays are about the same size, between 25 and 30 metres.

The problem lies with the female cloud ray herself, which is affected by the special laws of the Giant's Plains and has a size that surpasses that of its kind.

In other words, it is not yet fully adult, and its current size is not its limit, if it is magnified according to the law of double magnification in the Giant Plains.

Its final size will break through the normal limit and reach a super jumbo+, with a wingspan and body length of at least fifty meters, and a giant in the air at the end.

But that's later, no one knows, it will take a few years or more than ten years to grow to that size, or just a theory, it has no ability to break through the size limit at all, it can only be limited to super giant.

It is not for nothing that the material world simply divides living organisms into super-mega sizes.

Because this represents a kind of limit, and further up, it is no longer what mortal things can grow, which is the patent of those divine creatures and ancient evil things.

The small size means that the body can accommodate less cloud rays, and the upper limit of the load is also small, and the carrying capacity of the male cloud ray is not much different from Gavin's original estimate, with a light load of 50 tons, a medium load of 100 tons, and a heavy load of 150 tons.

Together, the two cloud rays have a carrying capacity of at least 250 tons - long-distance transportation, generally used in medium load, heavy load is taboo, not only slow, take more time, but also cause serious load and overdraft to the biological vehicle, a little careless will be scrapped, must be cherished to use.

Don't look at the slow speed of the cloud ray, when it is really used for long-distance transportation, it has the advantage that ordinary flying creatures do not have, it can float forward twenty-four hours a day, and the speed will be affected by the wind, plus it is in the air, as long as it does not encounter special weather such as storms and rains, it is basically a straight line.

From Dalauma to the Land of the Three Rivers, it is almost 3,000 kilometers along the Conqueror's Road, but it only takes 1,500 kilometers to fly.

If it goes well, the cloud ray will only take five days and five nights.

If it doesn't go well, it won't take more than eight days and eight nights.

This is the last option, because they are strategic weapons in Gavin's hands, and they will definitely follow him to the front line next, and it is impossible to transfer them to the rear at will.

And many things depend on the development of the situation.
