Three or four months is enough for Gavin to do a lot of things.

Four months ago, even Gavin himself could not have imagined that he would be able to bring back a force of up to 40,000 immigrants from Tester.

Ten months ago, when he left Tesser, he would never have imagined that it would take him only one year to complete the journey he had traveled for more than twenty years in his previous life, and many things were crushing.

Even Gavin himself has no way of predicting what brilliant achievements he will achieve in the next three or four months, because some things are not decided by himself, but by his enemies, after all, many of his things are plundered from the hands of his enemies.

"Sir, Lord Sir......" Patriarch Janiela shouted several times before Gavin was pulled back from his divergent thoughts.

Gavin replied quietly: "Patriarch, it's a bit too early to talk about this now, we have not yet determined the food security of the other two granaries, nor the cause of the fire in the middle granary, why don't we wait for us to find out everything and then discuss this matter?" ”

Although he had paid for the grain, he was still in the granary of the Golden Wheat Bunch Monastery, and he had not yet taken it away, and if there was a fire, they had an unshirkable responsibility.

Of course, he also had the responsibility to send people to keep an eye on the monastery of the Golden Wheat Bundle on the periphery to prevent them from selling their goods, and when he came to transport the grain, he found that there was no food.

But I didn't expect that the problem might be in the granary.

This is a foolish account that cannot be cleared up, he will not easily let the Golden Wheat Bunch Monastery and even the Misty Valley get out, no matter what, he has to use this matter to tie them to his chariot.

When Jeniela heard this, she couldn't help but nod and said, "It's me who is too anxious, then we'll investigate the reason first, and then we'll talk about the rest." ”

Everyone waited in silence for a while, and in this case, there was no point in arguing about something.

Fortunately, the human-faced python's actions were very efficient, and it didn't make them wait long before returning the same way, "My lord, nothing unusual has been found in this granary, and the mist barrier is intact. ”

"It's great, it's a blessing in misfortune."

"In this way, we are thinking too much, and the fire in the granary is not a human layout, but an isolated accident."

"Don't jump to conclusions until the results of the investigation come out, just in case, the West Granary must also be inspected."

"It's a must, and there's nothing wrong with being careful."

Hearing the report of the spirit Naga, everyone present couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, at least the situation did not go in the worst direction.

If all the grain in the Golden Wheat Bale Monastery had been burned, even if Gavin wasn't crazy, they would have gone mad first.

Immediately, they went straight to the west warehouse and inspected it in the same way, and they didn't find any problems.

After eliminating other hidden dangers, everyone's eyes were once again locked on the middle granary that was on fire.

More than two hours have passed since their toss, and the entire mountain and valley have been watered by the continuous moderate rain, and the fire in the granary has no intention of stopping.

"Done!"

With a crisp whisper, a huge amount of magic power shook from Catherine's body, and her figure blurred little by little, until it became as ethereal as a ghost, and this power began to spread through her body as a medium, and transmitted to Gavin and Janiela, who were holding her hands together.

The one who casts the Nine Rings spell and travels to the spirit world is naturally Catherine, the first vote of the Strategy Lady.

There are already a lot of transcendent spellcasters under Gavin, but there is only one quasi-legend and legend who can cast the Nine Rings spell, and there is currently only one Spirit Naga, who is still semi-disabled due to physical reasons, and the spells that can be cast are very fixed.

There are a few quasi-legendary and legendary spellcasters who are familiar with him, but they all have their own problems, and the one he is most likely to ask for is the one in front of him.

The frequency of asking her to do so recently has made Gavin himself feel a little embarrassed, she has now left the army of conquerors, and returned to the green field with the road construction team seconded from Gavin, and according to her original plan, open the roads around the strategic battle fortress.

But she didn't seem to leave, and was invited back by Gavin at every turn.

Most of the time it is responsive and there is no extra charge.

In Gavin's view, this is the most expensive, the love debt is the most difficult to repay, when the other party has something for him, it is difficult for him to refuse, and the thing that can make a legendary god choose to ask for help will definitely not be a trivial matter.

Soon, Gavin and his party of five people all entered the spirit state, more precisely, three people, one snake and one wolf.

The snake is naturally the spirit Naga Alhashan, and the wolf is the dog demon Andrew.

The former was transferred to use his reincarnation ability to perform some difficult and dangerous missions.

The latter was transferred in order to use its ability to track down, and the Crage Monk, the head of the middle granary, had to be picked up even if he turned into ashes, because this kind of direct person was often the key to the whole thing.

The disappearance of the other party has a strong smell of wanting to cover up.

Traveling together in another world is also known as group etherization.

It is to transform the caster, along with those connected to her, into a spirit state.

The unique relationship between the aetheric plane and the material plane, also known as spirits, is a place where spirits and spirits often haunt them.

Gavin was comfortable with the new state, as it was the same as the real Dream of the Dragon Oak Dream, only compared to the colorful and almost distorted Dragon Oak Dream.

In the spirit state of the same spirit world, his vision is biased towards black and white, especially when he looks at the material plane, it is even more hazy and somewhat distorted, as if it is separated by countless levels, very similar to the situation when he first met the weeping witch Philancine.

The terrifying tongue of fire and flames also became dim, and there was no way to hurt Gavin and them in the slightest.

Spirits do not have flame immunity, but as long as they are located in the etheric plane and do not enter the material plane, these material fires will not be able to enter the spirit realm and harm them in the slightest.

"We have twenty-three minutes, follow me, don't turn directly 180 degrees, then it's easy to go into the deep ether, and when you adjust the direction, you can only turn at a maximum of 90 degrees." Catherine reminded.

After speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the burning granary, the feeling was very strange, even in the world of flames, Gavin's perspective was severely limited, the farthest could only see seventeen or eight meters, and then there was a hazy mist, as their footsteps moved forward, these fogs broke through, like exploring with a torch in the dark.

This is determined by the nature of the spirit world, which is in a state of constant change, especially the shallow ether, which can be seen as the gap between the material plane and the ether plane, which changes with the material plane and those spirit bodies.

If there are spirits around you and you go into the shallow ether, the world will sprawl.

If there are no spirits around, then the shallow ether is considered to be non-existent, only the material plane and the etheric plane that are separate from each other.

In other words, as Gavin and the others moved forward, the shallow aether kept appearing and disappearing, and behind them was a strange world, like a shadow, that was the deep aether, and those colored pools were portals to different worlds.

The fiery red one leads to the fire elemental plane.

The azure blue one leads to the water elemental plane.

The earthy yellow one leads to the earth elemental plane.

Colorless, it passes through the plane of the air element.

Colorful, it passes through other material planes, and it may also be from other parts of the material plane.

The teleportation location of the Deep Aether portal is random, either a portal that has already been set up, or a location with highly condensed elements and extremely dimensional characteristics, such as the fire elemental plane is usually the center of the firestorm or the surging magma pool, while the water elemental plane is in the vortex, and the air element is in the eye of the storm, etc.

All in all, if you don't have enough strength, don't use the teleportation pot of the Aether Plane lightly, because no one knows where you will appear in the next second, what you need to face, and the likelihood of being warmly welcomed is far less than that of a sword or an extreme environment.

Aether teleportation is outside the scope of Gavin's research today, and their attention is still focused on the middle granary shrouded in flames.

"The Mist Barrier here has been completely destroyed." Catherine said in a tone of absolute certainty.

"Was it destroyed by a spell before the fire started? Or was it burned out by the fire? Gavin asked.

The result is the same, but the nature is different.

There is not only one way to break the misty enchantment, and the Nine Rings Wish Technique is just the simplest and crudest one.

Spells or natural disasters that devastate entire areas, especially shrouded areas, can also destroy them, such as earthquakes and legendary magic.

The entire city is gone, and how can the mist-enchanted barrier that envelops it survive the disaster?

The high concentration of fire elemental environment created by the fire in the middle granary completely changed the elemental balance, enough to destroy many things.

"There's no way to tell, but in an environment with a fireproof barrier, there is a very high possibility that it will be suppressed and destroyed in advance if it burns to this extent." Catherine replied conservatively.

"The vents here are magical? Or is it physical? Gavin turned to Patriarch Janiela.

There is a reason to ask this question.

The fire was not only no smaller than the well-ventilated opening, but even more vigorous, indicating that there was still a lot of fresh air coming in.

If the physical nature of the vent can still be explained, but if it is the magical nature of the integration with the fog barrier, then a new question arises, where does the air come from?

"Magical, they should collapse with the collapse of the Mist Enchantment, this is the second fire protection system here, in order to deal with the fire after the collapse of the Mist Enchantment, when the air here is burned clean, the flame will gradually extinguish, and most of the food can be saved."

Janella said with a solemn expression, "There is a second air inlet, or a second entrance. ”

"There's something wrong with the cave here, it looks like it just been dug up." The Inudemon reminded loudly from the side.

"This passage doesn't belong to the granary, no, the Mist Enchantment has the ability to stop the digging of caves, why is there a tunnel here that doesn't belong to the granary?" Janella changed color.

The development of things was completely unexpected by her.

The fire in the middle granary is unbelievable enough, and now there is a tunnel that does not belong here.

A fire is a matter of moments, and a tunnel that leads to no one is not dug in a day or two.

A new series of derivative questions will arise inside, who dug this tunnel? Where does it lead? When was it dug up?

As for what to do with the dug up, then there is no need to ask, it must be for the food here.

"The Mist Enchantment isn't a panacea." Catherine replied as she moved towards the tunnel, "The tightly worded Seven Rings Limited Prayer Technique can temporarily suppress the ability to dig caves, but if they want to destroy the integrity of the Mist Enchantment, they must know enough about the arrangement of the Mist Enchantment, and it is best to do it from within. ”

The scheming lady's implication was obvious, and this matter had to be done in a way that was right from the inside out.

"There is a charred skeleton here, male, he was dead before he was charred, there is no soul breath left, his soul has been harvested in advance by people with soul spells." The dog demon is professional in this aspect, even if he is in a spirit state, he can easily feel the situation of this corpse.

Pointing to the charred corpse's chest, the Cintia emblem that had fused with his sternum and was still shining in the heat, "This emblem belongs to Brother Cragg, the stewardship of this warehouse. ”

This basically proves the identity of this charred corpse, and the monk's emblem is an extremely personal thing, more important than his own life, and he will not leave it easily.

The last remaining possibility is that someone else used Brother Kragg's emblem to create the illusion of his death and mislead.

"Go into this tunnel and see where it leads." Gavin said crisply.

Regardless of whether this body belonged to Brother Krag or not, since the soul is gone, the useful information that can be gathered is extremely limited, so it is better to follow this tunnel.

Perhaps from this, clues can be found and the initiator can be found out.

The evidence was clear enough that the fire in the granary in the Golden Wheat Bunch Abbey was not an accident, but a sabotage, and now they needed to find out who the enemy really was.

Being in the spirit realm has given Gavin enough confidence, even if these unknown enemies have set up a back hand in this tunnel, the possibility of hurting them is very small.

"Grain, there is scattered grain in this tunnel, this is not just a fire, this is still covering up the evidence of stealing grain." Soon they found a large amount of food scattered in the tunnel.

"This tunnel wasn't dug by hand or magic, it's very much like the traces of a digging purple worm." The crowd quickly added a new piece of the puzzle to the matter.

The difference in the tunnels can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, many places are very smooth, as if they have been plastered with gray mud, but on the ground, there are some different shades, as if there are huge creatures wriggling and crawling here.

The tunnel was about a kilometer long, and it dug straight through the mountain against which the Golden Wheat Bale Monastery rested, and appeared halfway up the mountain on the other side.

"How is this possible? How long has it been since they opened the tunnel? How much grain exactly did they steal from our warehouses? I go to the three granaries every 10 days! ”

Seeing the scene outside the tunnel, the Patriarch of the Golden Wheat Bunch Monastery, Janiela, was a little crazy, and her face was full of disbelief.

For there was a small camp that had just been abandoned, and there were scattered bread bales belonging to the Golden Wheat Bunch Abbey, as well as a large number of vehicles, all of which indicate that it was once a transit point and that a large amount of grain was transferred.

"I'm afraid that your inspection is only superficial, and there is no spot check at all." Gavin kicked a grain bag full of dirt in front of Patriarch Janiela, "They don't even use magic, it's the easiest thing to do is to exchange the dirt here for your food.

Whether the charred corpse belonged to Brother Kragg or not, he had the greatest suspicion, because this kind of long-term theft could not be carried out without the cooperation of the inside and the outside. ”

In the second half of this artificial tunnel, where the granary fire could not reach, they all lifted the effect of the spell of the same travel to the other world.

This spell allowed them to avoid most of the traps, but it also prevented them from interacting with the physical realm and gathering better evidence.

For the sake of proof, some risks must be taken.

The grain thieves were clearly in a hurry, leaving not much of a trail in the tunnels, including the transit camp.

All along, they had no intention of hiding their identity, or rather, there was no way to hide it.

After all, arson is one thing, stealing food is another, and the movement they made was so big that it couldn't be covered up at all.

"Why would he do that? He was a devout believer in Mother Earth God. "Janella was powerless to defend herself or Brother Kragg.

Because what Gavin said was true, although she would conduct a routine inspection of the granary every ten days, the main inspection was the operation of the granary, as well as a random check of the general accounts and quantities, and she did not pay attention to whether the grain in the granary had been transferred.

For the reason, nothing like this had ever happened before, and she trusted the granary managers too much.

"There are too many possibilities, it may be out of our own selfish greed, or it may be tempted by us." The Dog Demon grinned and said with a terrifying smile, "But how can you be sure that we lured you to fall?" Or is it because of your own depravity that we have come to the door? ”

"Who made you talk so much? Hurry up and gather clues for me. Gavin unceremoniously kicked the dog demon aside, and the guy gave him a little face, and he didn't know what his last name was.

"He's right, we do impose a lot of our sins on the devil." Janella said with a gloomy expression.
