I am a god in another world

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 could bring back a group of up to 40,000 immigrants from Tethyr.

Ten months ago, when he left Tethyr, he would never have thought that he would have completed the journey of more than 20 years in his previous life in just one year, and many things were crushing.

Even Gavin himself could not predict what brilliant achievements he could make in the next three or four months, because some things were not decided by himself, but by his enemies. After all, many of his things were plundered from the hands of the enemy.

"Sir, Sir..." Patriarch Janela called several times before pulling Gavin back from his divergent thoughts.

Gavin responded calmly: "Patriarch, it's a bit too early for us to talk about this now. We haven't confirmed whether the grain in the other two granaries is safe or not, nor have we determined the cause of the fire in the middle granary. How about we wait until we find out everything before discussing this matter?"

Although he had paid for the grain, it was still in the granary of the Golden Sheaf Monastery and he hadn't transported it away yet. If there was a fire, they had an unshirkable responsibility.

Of course, he was also responsible, but he sent people to watch the Golden Sheaf Monastery from the outside to prevent them from selling goods to two people. When he came to transport the grain, he found that there was no grain.

But he didn't expect that the problem might be with the granary.

This was a messy account that couldn't be sorted out. He would not let the Golden Sheaf Monastery or even the Misty Valley get away easily. He had to use this matter to tie them to his chariot.

When Janilla heard this, she also made the same point. She nodded involuntarily and said, "I'm too impatient. Let's find out the cause first and talk about the rest later."

Everyone waited in silence. In this case, it was meaningless to discuss something.

Fortunately, the giant python was very efficient and did not make them wait for long. It returned along the same route. "Lord, there is nothing unusual in this granary. The mist barrier is intact."

"That's great. This is a blessing in disguise."

"In that case, we thought too much. The fire in the middle granary was not planned by someone, but an isolated accident."

"Don't jump to conclusions before the results of the investigation come out. Just in case, the west granary must also be checked."

"This is a must. It's better to be careful about this matter."

After hearing the report from the spirit naga, everyone present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At least the situation did not develop in the worst direction.

If all the grain in the Golden Wheat Sheaf Monastery was burned, even if Gavin was not crazy, they would be crazy first.

Then they rushed straight to the west warehouse and checked it again in the same way, and also found no problems.

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

More than two hours had passed since they had been struggling. The entire mountain and valley had been soaked by the continuous moderate rain, and the fire in the granary showed no sign of stopping.

"Finish!"

Accompanied by a mysterious and crisp low shout, a huge amount of magic power shook from Catherine's body, and her figure gradually faded until she became as ethereal as a ghost. This power began to spread through her body and was transmitted to Gavin and Janella who were holding hands with her.

The one who cast the nine-ring spell to travel in the spirit world was naturally Catherine, the first choice of the strategy lady.

Gavin already had a lot of extraordinary spellcasters, but there was only one quasi-legendary and legendary who could cast the nine-ring spell. Because of physical reasons, he was still half-disabled and could only cast a fixed spell.

There were a few familiar quasi-legendary and legendary spellcasters, but they all had their own problems. The one he could most easily invite was the one in front of him.

Gavin himself felt a little embarrassed about the frequency of her recent requests. She had left the Conqueror Army and returned to the Green Field with the road construction team borrowed from Gavin. According to his original plan, she opened up the roads around the Strategic War Fortress.

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

Most of the time, he would respond to any request without charging any extra fee.

In Gavin's view, this was the most expensive. The debt of favor was the most difficult to repay. When the other party asked for something from him, it was difficult for him to refuse. And the matter that could make a legendary God choose to ask for help must not be a small event.

Soon, Gavin and his group of five all entered the spirit state, or more accurately, three people, one snake and one wolf.

The snake was naturally the spirit Naga Alhassan, and the wolf was the dog demon Andrew.

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

The latter was transferred here to use its tracking ability. Brother Krag, the manager of the grain warehouse, had to be found even if he turned into ashes, because such a direct party was often the key to the whole matter.

The disappearance of the other party had a strong flavor of trying to cover up the truth.

Traveling together in a different world is also known as group etherization.

It is to transform the caster and the people connected to her into a spirit state.

The unique relationship between the etheric plane and the material plane is also called the spirit body, which is where spirit creatures such as ghosts and spirits often appear.

Gavin was very comfortable with the new state, because it was exactly the same as the real dream of Dragon Oak Dream, but compared to the colorful and almost distorted Dragon Oak Dream.

In the state of spirits traveling in the spirit world, the vision tends to be black and white, especially when looking at the material plane, it is even more hazy and distorted, as if there are countless layers between them, which is very similar to the first time he met the weeping witch Felanceni.

The terrifying flames also became dim and could not hurt Gavin and the others at all.

Spirits are not immune to fire, but as long as they are in the etheric plane and do not enter the material plane, these material fires cannot enter the spirit world to hurt them.

"We have 23 minutes, follow me closely, and don't turn directly 180 degrees, otherwise it is easy to enter the deep ether. When adjusting the direction, you can only turn 90 degrees at most." Catherine reminded.

After saying that, he took the lead to walk towards the burning grain warehouse. The feeling was very strange. Even in the world of raging flames, Gavin and his team's vision was severely limited. The farthest they could see was only 17 or 18 meters. Beyond that was a hazy fog. As they moved forward, the fog was broken, just like exploring in the dark with a torch.

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

If there are spirits around and enter the shallow ether, this world will spread out.

If there are no spirits around, then the shallow ether is regarded as non-existent, and there are only the separated material plane and ether plane.

That is to say, as Gavin and his team moved forward, the shallow ether kept appearing and disappearing. Behind them was a bizarre world, following closely. That was the deep ether. Those colorful pools were portals to different worlds.

The fiery red ones led to the plane of the fire element.

The azure blue ones led to the plane of the water element.

The khaki ones led to the plane of the earth element.

The colorless ones went through the plane of the air element.

The colorful ones went through other material planes, or possibly to other places on this material plane.

The teleportation location of the deep ether portal was random. It was either a portal that had already been set up, or a place with highly concentrated elements and extremely plane characteristics. For example, the plane of the fire element was usually the center of a firestorm or a pool of surging magma, while the plane of the water element was in a vortex, and the air element was in the eye of the storm, etc.

In short, if you don't have enough strength, don't use the teleportation pool of the etheric plane easily, because no one knows where you will appear in the next second, what you need to face, and the possibility of being warmly welcomed is far lower than being attacked by swords or extreme environments.

Ether teleportation is not within the scope of Gavin's research today. Their attention is mainly focused on the grain warehouse shrouded in raging flames.

"The fog barrier here has been completely destroyed." Catherine said in an extremely affirmative tone.

"Was it destroyed by someone using magic before the fire? Or was it burned by the fire?" Gavin asked.

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

There is more than one way to break the fog barrier, and the Nine Rings Wish is just the simplest and crudest one.

The kind of magic or natural disaster that deals a devastating blow to the entire area, especially the shrouded area, can also destroy it, such as earthquakes, such as legendary magic.

The entire city no longer exists, how can the fog barrier that shrouds it survive?

The high concentration of fire elements in the granary caused by the fire completely changed the balance of elements, enough to destroy many things.

"There is no way to judge, but in an environment with a fireproof barrier, it is very likely to be suppressed and destroyed in advance if it burns to this extent." Catherine replied conservatively.

"Is the vent here magical? Or physical?" Gavin turned to ask Patriarch Janella.

There is a reason for asking this question.

This place has penetrated deep into the granary. The fire is not only not smaller than the well-ventilated cave, but even more vigorous, indicating that there is a lot of fresh air entering here.

If it is a physical vent, it can still be explained, but if it is a magical vent integrated with the mist barrier, then a new problem will arise. Where does the air that helps combustion come from?

"They are of magical nature. They should collapse along with the collapse of the mist barrier. This is the second fire prevention system here, which is designed to deal with fires after the collapse of the mist barrier. When the air here is burned clean, the flames will gradually go out, and most of the food can be preserved."

Jannila said solemnly, "There is a second air inlet here, or a second entrance."

"There is something wrong with the cave here. It seems to have just been dug out." The dog demon reminded loudly on the side.

"This passage does not belong to the granary. No, the mist barrier has the ability to prevent digging holes. Why is there a tunnel that does not belong to the granary?" Janilla changed color.

The development of the matter was completely beyond her expectations.

The fire in the granary was already incredible enough, and now there is a tunnel that does not belong here.

The fire happened in an instant, but a tunnel that does not know where it leads to is not dug in a day or two.

A series of new derivative questions will appear inside. Who dug this tunnel? Where does it lead? When was it dug?

As for what they were dug out for, there is no need to ask. It must be for the food here.

"The Mist Barrier is not omnipotent." Catherine replied as she moved towards the tunnel. "A carefully worded seven-ring limited prayer spell can temporarily suppress the ability to dig holes. However, if you want to do it without destroying the Mist Barrier, If the boundary is intact, they must fully understand the layout of this fog barrier, and it is best to proceed from the inside.”

The implication of this strategist lady's words is obvious. This matter must be coordinated both internally and externally.

"There is a charred corpse here, a male. He died before being charred. There is no soul breath left. His soul has been harvested in advance using soul spells." The dog demon is professional in this aspect. Even in the spirit state, he could easily find out the condition of the corpse.

Janela pointed to the Saint Emblem of Chantia on the chest of the charred corpse that had fused with his sternum and was still shining in the high temperature and said: "This Holy Emblem belongs to Brother Kragg, the manager of this warehouse. ”

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

The only remaining possibility is that someone else uses Brother Kragg's holy symbol to create the illusion of his death and mislead him.

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

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

Perhaps from this, clues can be found and the culprit can be found.

The evidence is clear enough. The fire in the granary in the Golden Sheaf Monastery was not an accident, but a man-made sabotage. Now they need to find out who the enemy is.

Being in the spirit world gave Gavin enough confidence. Even if these unknown enemies deployed back-ups in this tunnel, the possibility of harming them was very slim.

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

"This tunnel was not dug manually or by magic. It is very much like the traces dug by earth-digging purple insects." Everyone quickly added a new piece of the puzzle to this matter.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the tunnel is different. Many places are very smooth, as if they have been plastered with gray mud, but there are some different shades on the ground, as if a huge creature is crawling here. .

The tunnel was about one kilometer long, digging straight through the mountain on the back of the Golden Wheatsheaf Monastery, and appeared halfway up the mountain on the other side.

"How is this possible? How long have they been opening the tunnel? How much grain have they stolen from our warehouses? I will visit the three granaries every ten days!"

Seeing the scene outside the tunnel clearly, Patriarch Janella of the Golden Wheatsheaf Monastery went a little crazy, her face full of disbelief.

Because there is a recently abandoned small camp here, with grain packages belonging to the Golden Wheat Sheaf Monastery scattered everywhere, as well as a large number of transportation vehicles, all indicating that this was once a transit station where a large amount of grain was transported.

"I'm afraid your inspections were superficial, and you didn't check them one by one at all." Gavin kicked a grain bag filled with soil in front of Patriarch Janella, "They didn't even use magic, just the simplest They steal the beams and change the pillars, and use the soil here to exchange for your food.

Regardless of whether the scorched corpse belonged to Brother Kragg or not, he was the biggest suspect, because this kind of long-term theft could not be carried out without coordinating the inside and outside. "

In the second half of this artificial tunnel, where the granary fire could not reach them, they all lifted the effect of the "Traveling to Another World" spell.

Although this spell allows them to avoid most traps, it also prevents them from interacting with the material world and unable to better collect evidence.

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

These food thieves obviously left in a hurry and did not leave much behind in the tunnel, including this transit camp.

From beginning to end, they had no intention of concealing their identity, or in other words, there was no way to conceal it.

After all, arson is one thing, stealing food is another. The noise they made was so big that it was impossible to cover it up.

"Why did he do this? He is a devout believer of the Earth Mother." Janella was unable to defend herself, nor could she defend Brother Kragg.

Because what Gavin said was true, although she would conduct routine inspections of the granary every ten days, she mainly inspected the operation of the granary and randomly checked the general accounts and quantities. She did not pay attention to whether there was any grain in the granary. Being transferred.

The reason was that this had never happened before, and she had too much trust in these granary managers.

"There are too many possibilities. It may be out of your own selfish greed, or it may be due to our temptation." The dog demon grinned and showed a scary smile, "But how can you be sure that it is us? To induce you to fall? Or is it because of your own corruption that we came to you?"

"Who told you to talk too much? Hurry up and collect clues for me." Gavin kicked the dog demon aside unceremoniously. This guy gave him a little face, but he didn't know his last name.

"He is right. We do put many of our sins on the devil." Janela said with a gloomy expression.
