I am a god in another world

Even though Gavin was thinking deeply, his face couldn't help but change slightly. He never thought that a fire in the Misty Valley could burn his head. He was so quick-thinking that he came up with it in the next second. Countless possibilities.

There are not so many coincidences in this world. If you don't burn this fire sooner or later, and then burn it when your army of conquerors is about to arrive and prepare to transport food, it is obviously aimed at you.

I just don’t know, is this a Zhentarim conspiracy? Or is it a trick of the Sambiasan businessmen? Or was the Golden Sheaf Monastery going back on its word, not wanting to sell the grain to itself, and acting on its own?

There are too many possibilities inside, and the information I have is too little. I can't make a conclusion at the moment, so I can only respond with silence.

"There is a fire in the central granary? Where are the other granaries? Is there anything wrong?" Janella's reaction was not like that of the Golden Sheaf Monastery. At least Gavin could not detect anything strange, whether it was a physical reaction or a tremor in the soul.

"The news we got is that there was a fire in the Zhonggang Granary. There is no news about other granaries. Therefore, we cannot give an accurate answer to the congressman's question." This messenger is obviously a veteran. He only delivers the news he knows and never makes assumptions easily. That's a big taboo for messengers.

"Now that we know the exact location, let's hurry over and check the situation for ourselves." Supreme Councilor Harisk suggested from the side.

"The Supreme Councilor is right. I'm sorry, but I'm a little confused. Please wait for me to calm down. I'll drive the conveyor belt for you all to go there together." Janela took a few deep breaths, as if she wanted to control her emotions so that she could use them more conveniently. Teleportation.

It's just that the news was a bit too shocking for her. She tried for several minutes but couldn't calm herself down. Her hands were shaking involuntarily because the impact of this incident was too great.

The Zhonggangcang is the largest granary of their Golden Wheat Sheaf Monastery. What this fire burned was not a problem of hundreds of thousands of gold coins in food, but a bane for their Golden Wheat Sheaf Monastery and even the Misty Valley.

What if Sir Gavin in front of him thinks that this is a drama that their Golden Sheaf Monastery reneged on and acted on their own?

What should I do if I insist that I only want food and will not return the gold coins?

Don't look at the fact that they had a happy conversation before and the other party seemed to be easy to talk to. That was because both parties had common interests.

When his interests were violated, he could turn around and transform into an iron-blooded general, killing people without blinking an eye. Their path to conquering was not negotiated, but killed outright.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Gavin did not buy their food to sell for profit, but to prepare winter food for the conqueror's army that was about to move here.

This is not something you don't want.

Gavin took the initiative and suggested: "Leave the teleportation matter to me!"

Compared to Janila, the self-control he showed was terrifyingly strong. Except for a moment when he lost control of his emotions when he just heard the news, he didn't have any unnecessary expressions from then on.

Anger and annoyance, these emotions are the most useless. Finding a way to remedy the situation and uncovering the mastermind behind the scenes is the most important thing at the moment.

"Then it's troublesome Sir." Janela said apologetically, "Teleportation is different from other spells. The consequences of making mistakes are too serious. My current state is really not suitable for use."

"Understood." Gavin nodded in understanding, "I can take three people there."

"Then leave the rest to me." The speaker was the councilman named Noristol. He is a tiefling with demon blood flowing in his body. The demonic features in his appearance are very eye-catching. , the words are also very sharp.

However, the fact that he was elected as a council member in Misty Valley at least shows that he is not as chaotic and evil as his demon ancestors, and at least he can be recognized by a large part of the people in Misty Valley.

In previous meetings, he had been silent most of the time, and would only speak out during collective voting. He was somewhat absent-minded, as if he was addicted to his own world, but his spellcasting ability was definitely trustworthy.

After discussing the countermeasures, they appeared in front of a monastery the next second.

This is not so much a monastery as a small fortress built on the mountain. It is located between two not very high mountain ridges. There is a narrow strip behind it, which is the area blessed by the Earth Mother Goddess Chantia. Planting any crop is a God-blessed land with the highest yield in Faerûn.

This place is neatly divided into twelve fields. Except for the necessary roads and drainage and irrigation canals, there are no extra plants and buildings here. The residences of farmers who cultivate here are either in the monastery or on both sides. The mountain ridge is relatively flat.

The reason is self-evident. Naturally, I don’t want to occupy any additional land given by God and maximize its production capacity.

Not only does this happen here, but Gavin and Zalanda also do it coincidentally.

"The granaries of our monastery are all bunker granaries built against the mountains. The main body goes directly into the surrounding mountains. All of them are equipped with barriers. They not only have fire prevention capabilities, but also have anti-teleport and anti-excavation functions. They have been built to this day. It has a history of 800 years, and there has never been a single fire, not even a rat plague.”

Janela led the way while introducing the details of the monastery's granary. Although most people present knew, "In order to avoid accidents, the monastery later built two more granaries. However, due to the terrain, the east granary and the west granary were The combined storage capacity of the granary is comparable to that of the China National Granary Granary.”

The Patriarch of the Golden Wheatsheaf Monastery did not immediately take Gavin and the others straight to the central granary that caught fire. Instead, he went to the east and west granaries on two mountain ridges to check to make sure they were safe. We just transferred to Zhonggangcang.

Patriarch Janela now admires the foresight of the ancestors of the monastery extremely. Thanks to this, the Golden Sheaf Monastery was not burned into despair by a fire. They just can't come up with five thousand tons of grain now, not just one grain. No more.

"Although there are a large number of fire tunnels inside the warehouse and fire separation distances are set up, since the fire can burn in a place with a fire barrier, it means that it is not a simple fire, but someone is deliberately setting the fire. These settings are just afraid It will be useless, and the entire underground warehouse will become a big oven, roasting everything here into coke. "

At this time, Janela completely regained her composure, "The settings that go deep into the mountain make it much safer than ordinary warehouses, but once something happens, the difficulty of rescue will also increase significantly, and a large amount of water will not be able to enter at all." go."

Anyone who has seen the warehouse of the Golden Wheat Sheaf Monastery can easily imagine the picture Janella painted.

The Zhonggang Granary has turned into a huge oven, with tongues of flames spitting out more than ten meters high, and thick smoke rising straight into the sky. You can see it standing outside the Golden Wheatsheaf Monastery.

When Gavin and the others arrived at the Zhonggang Granary, the people here had already stopped fighting the fire. They looked at the huge flames spurting out of the entrance of the granary with despair on their faces. Not to mention ordinary people, even those extraordinary professionals did not dare to approach easily. body.

If it is a forest fire, or if this granary is an ordinary granary exposed to the open air, Gavin can also mobilize a group of extraordinary druids to use the method of manipulating the weather to rain heavy rain here, extinguishing it and trying to save some food. .

Gavin was also a little helpless in the situation before him.

"Can the mouth of the granary be sealed with earth and rocks? Wouldn't it be possible to put out the fire by covering it with earth and rocks? If there is no air in the warehouse, wouldn't the fire go out automatically?" Supreme Councilor Harisk suggested.

"No." Several people said in unison.

"Why?" the top councilor asked with a confused look on his face.

"Now that the fire has started, the heat inside is absolutely astonishing. If we block the heat dissipation port rashly, the fire may be suffocated, and there may also be a big explosion here, which will directly blow the entire granary into the sky. At that time, It is not just a simple loss of a granary, it may even cause flames, earth and rocks to fly everywhere, ignite other places, and cause a small earthquake. "

The top councilman answered the question from a dwarf councilor named Almas. He is an alchemist and is very good at explosions. There are often dangerous items such as alchemical gunpowder for sale in his shop. This is the most disturbing thing. Other members criticized it, believing that it increased the risk of insecurity in the Misty Valley, because this kind of item can be extremely lethal even in the hands of ordinary people.

Although the top council member does not approve of Almas's business philosophy, he highly recognizes his expertise in explosions. "So it turns out that I am ignorant. Can we just watch like this? Do nothing?"

"Of course it's impossible to do nothing. If the temperature in the warehouse accumulates to a certain level, it will easily explode. After all, this is a warehouse, not a specialized forging furnace."

Almas, who was still the one with the most professional knowledge, suggested, "First, evacuate all irrelevant personnel as far away as possible. This fire is no longer something they can interfere with.

Then manipulate the weather to rain on the surrounding mountains, especially those with dense trees. It cannot rain heavily at first, but must use light rain step by step to try to lower the temperature of the mountain to prevent forest fires and reduce the possibility of explosions.

Then keep raining until the place is no longer burning. "

Alchemists are definitely experts in explosions. Although Almas is only a little over one meter tall, he has an aura of eight meters. Everyone can't help but be convinced.

Janella nodded involuntarily and said: "I will send people to evacuate them all. I will just control the weather and rain..."

Gavin took the initiative and said, "Leave this to me."

Then without saying a word, he directly activated the teleportation spell and disappeared, and went to summon extraordinary druids. Although extraordinary mages can also use weather control, this spell is rarely used in daily life, and it is not necessary to memorize and prepare casting materials in advance, and Those druids will probably prepare it, after all, it is their specialty.

Gavin's front foot disappeared, and the top councilor Harisk on the back foot stared at the monastery patriarch with embarrassment and said, "What's going on? This fire was not burned sooner or later. Why is it burning at this time? Tell us. To be honest, did your monastery do anything yourself?"

Several other congressmen also looked at Janella, and the meaning of the question was self-evident.

Obviously they have also developed suspicions in this regard. This is a matter for the Golden Wheatsheaf Monastery family. If you are not careful, the entire Misty Valley will be involved in this dispute.

"I'm just as confused as you are right now." Janella didn't show too much anger. After all, the overall situation is there, and it's human nature to have such doubts. "You guys know me well." It’s not just one or two days.

Do you think I'm a short-sighted rat? For hundreds of thousands of gold coins, are we going to put our monastery’s centuries-old reputation on it? Or risk offending a neighbor who is booming? Even if it's millions of gold coins, it's not worth the risk! "

"It makes sense. Neither Patriarch Janela nor the other priests of the Golden Sheaf Monastery are greedy people. Otherwise, they would not frequently donate their food for disaster relief, but would directly sell it to those at high prices. refugee."

"If you simply regret that you don't want to sell the grain, this trick is really not a clever one. After all, this is the sacred place of the Mother Earth. Even if you refuse to recognize the original order and sign it again, there is nothing they can do. It is better than this trick. If it is exposed, there will be no room for maneuver. Patriarch Janella is not such a stupid person. "

"It was just a fire in a granary protected by a mist barrier. Without the help of insiders, no one would believe it."

"The Mist Barrier is not omnipotent. The Nine-Ring Prayer Technique has the ability to break it. If it only temporarily suppresses part of the ability, the rigorously worded Seven-Ring Limited Prayer Technique is enough to do it."

"Which quasi-legendary or legendary caster spends a lot of professional experience to target a warehouse of food? Even if it is food worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, it is a bit of a loss."

"If the food belongs to our monastery, no one will make it, but if it belongs to Sir Gavin and the conqueror's army, then it's hard to say."

"Are you saying that this was a deliberate plan? Not only to sow discord between us and Sir Gavin, but also to destroy their winter food?"

"Probably."

"Who is so insidious?"

"There are many possibilities. It may be the Zhentarim or the merchants of Sembia. They are all eyeing the valley. They definitely don't want a large number of new forces to join in the valley. They were just over there in the goblin wilderness. They tried to use the monster tribe to destroy the army of conquerors, but they lacked the strength and were wiped out by the other party. Now it is just another plan. This is very consistent with their past behavior. It may also be Sir Gavin's other enemies. , there are too many possibilities to speculate.”

"We don't care about who did it for now. Even if we don't investigate, Sir Gavin will send people to investigate the matter. What we need to confirm most now is that it was not done by our own people in Misty Valley. If it was done by our own people, It doesn’t matter, admit it quickly, we are one after all, we will not sit idly by and find ways to remedy it together. Once Sir Gavin finds out, it will be another matter. "

"I swear in the name of the Mother Goddess, this is definitely not done by our Golden Wheat Sheaf Monastery."

"With these words from the Patriarch, we feel relieved."

"It's not that we don't believe in the Patriarch's character, it's just that this matter involves too many things and will determine the life and death of countless people."

"You don't need to explain anything, I understand."

"It would be best if the Patriarch understands."

"Evacuate people first. I happened to prepare a way to control the weather. I will cool down the surrounding area first and be prepared."

"Then please trouble me, Congressman. Your kindness will be remembered by our Golden Sheaf Monastery."

"The Patriarch is out of town."

The seven members of the Misty Valley used this time to quickly exchange opinions. The focus of their discussion was whether this matter was directed and staged by the Golden Wheatsheaf Monastery. After all, the Misty Valley was tied to the monastery and could easily be angered.

Patriarch Janela garbled her mouth and denied it, insisting that she knew nothing about the matter and that it was definitely not planned by their monastery.

After some discussion, they believed that what Patriarch Janilla said was true, not only because she swore by the Mother Earth Goddess Chantia, but also because the risk was too great and the harvest was too small. After all, the Golden Sheaf Monastery is a monastery. The pursuit of interests is not that high.

This made them feel relieved. As long as the Golden Wheatsheaf Monastery was not stupid, even if all the food in the Golden Wheatsheaf Monastery was burned to the ground, there would still be room for maneuver, let alone two granaries of food.

"If someone is targeting it, wouldn't the food in the other two warehouses be in danger?"

"It's possible, but it's not likely. If the other party wanted to do this, they would have set fire to the Zhongliangcang long ago and would not have waited until now. After all, the Nine Rings Wishing Technique is a heavy burden even for a legendary caster. ”

"No, no matter how small the possibility is, it is still possible. With the food in these two warehouses, we can easily explain to Sir Gavin. If something happens to them again, it will be a big trouble. We must open the warehouse to check , eliminate all dangers.”

"Wait a minute, what if this is what the conspirators want to do? Set a fire while you are inspecting the grain depot?"

"You mean that the enemy might set traps in these two granaries?"

"It's not impossible. Maybe you opening the warehouse is the precursor to the fire."

"We can't just do nothing, right?"

"Let's maintain the status quo and don't move. We are prepared as if it is a trap, and we will conduct inspections after we are fully prepared."

"That's all we can do."

There were all scheming people present, and they soon thought of more possibilities. If someone did it deliberately, it was probably a series of tricks. They had to guard against it, while trying every means to cool down the central warehouse and at the same time cool down the other two warehouses. Warehouses may also be prepared for fires.

Sorry, I made a mistake about the food prices earlier.

Actually it was one silver coin per kilogram, but I changed it to one gold coin per kilogram, and adjusted everything.

The price and ratio of cement solvent, after being reminded by a reader, I looked up the following information and found that it was indeed disproportionate, so I changed it to one kilogram can mix ten tons of mud and sand, and the price is still one hundred gold coins/kilogram. In this way, ten gold coins/ton of cement is relatively more reasonable.

Please be informed.
