Chapter 458 Ivina: Creating food from the void is something that only God can do

Susan's sudden question stunned Ivina.

She has stayed in the north for two years, which is the most wild area in the empire. Naturally, she has seen famine. She has even participated in the church's food distribution and rescue operations, but she has never experienced that feeling personally...

Susan didn't wait for Ivina to answer, and sighed. "Just eleven years ago, the food production in the western region of the empire was greatly reduced due to successive wars. Then the nobles and wealthy businessmen began to eat in large numbers just like today.

Although purchasing grain is not as scary as this time, it is not something we can afford..."

At that time, she and her husband were earning some meager income by carrying goods and other odd jobs in the slums. After excluding the deductions from the gang, they could not even earn one silver coin per month. Under the soaring food prices, they even spent all their money.

I can't even buy a few pieces of brown bread with my savings.

"Then the church and the empire didn't intervene or rescue?" Ivina frowned and asked in confusion, but she soon realized the inaccuracy in her words and quickly corrected her.

"I mean, don't those bishops always say that the Lord has mercy on the world?"

"How can those high-ranking bishops care about us..." A dark-skinned middle-aged man shook his head mockingly.

Eleven years ago, precious materials like kerosene had not yet been discovered, and this city was not as important as it is now. It was just an ordinary small town in the Western Region, and they were the most inconspicuous poor people in the city.

The empire did distribute some disaster relief food, but it was exploited halfway by the local nobles and wealthy businessmen, and the rest could not reach their hands at all.

Susan also choked up and said that one of her children starved to death not long after he was born, because he was too hungry and could not secrete enough milk and water, so he could only eat grass roots and tree roots.

Grate the skin and cook it into soup. Feed a little...

As a result... her child couldn't survive even two days.

"Grass roots, tree bark...can we eat these too?" Ivina said in shock.

"As for grass roots, most of them are fine, but the bark depends on what kind of tree it is..." the middle-aged man muttered.

Because Ivina's identity as a wizard has won a lot of favor from everyone, and coupled with Susan's cries and complaints, the hundreds of townspeople gathered in front of the granary couldn't help but share their own experiences of surviving the famine.

Some people denounced the cold-bloodedness and inaction of the noble men, and some people broke down and told Ivina that their younger brother was snatched away and eaten alive by a group of hungry townspeople. A young man who was not more than 20 years old even shared this

I remember that I survived the most difficult days by eating a kind of loess...

It's a pity that his father didn't survive it!

If you don’t want to chew tree bark or eat soil, then you can only risk your life and go deep into the jungle to get food there, but the greater possibility is that it will be used as rations for some ferocious monster!

Listening to more than a hundred townspeople discussing which tree bark was the most delicious and which grass was non-toxic and filling, Ivina was greatly shocked in her heart.

As a noble since she was a child, she had never thought that turf, leaves or even soil could be put into her mouth as food.

Although there had been famines in the northern region where she lived, and she had even witnessed the scene of people exchanging children for food, Gustav once told her that these people had been corrupted by the power of evil spirits and their souls were about to fall into hell.

To do such evil and terrible things.

"Only the wizards will consider whether we have enough to eat..." An old citizen said with a slight trembling while carrying some wheat.

For Lin En, ensuring three meals a day is a normal welfare for workers, and it can also prevent unrest in the kingdom, but it is different for the poor.

They have never received such attention!

From Susan's point of view, the wizards in charge of this city of fire and oil suddenly announced the provision of three meals a day because they knew they could not afford the soaring wheat prices. This kindness made her and her husband extremely grateful.

Only those who have experienced famine can understand how terrible the scene was. They survived by luck last time, but what about this time?

So after discussing with her husband, Susan decided to sell part of the rations to the parliament.

When food prices were high, thanks to the reminder they received at the bakery, they spent all their savings and bought hundreds of kilograms of wheat, half of which they had already sold...

That half belongs to her and her husband, and the other half is for their two children. Susan was not planning to sell it originally, but suddenly she heard yesterday that the reason why the council kept lowering the purchase price was because of the reserved funds.

It was no longer enough, so I took out another part.

Her ability is limited and she can only do a little bit... Maybe the bread they eat in the workshop has her own share of wheat!

The rest of the residents also spoke out about their own experiences. Like Susan, they experienced the feeling of being taken seriously for the first time. It turned out that someone really cared about them, the poorest people at the bottom.

Everyone boasted about the power of magic and the kindness of wizards. Since Ivina was also a wizard, a lot of praise was directed at her.

Ivina fell silent, and those words of praise pierced her heart like a sharp knife, because no one knew better than her that the so-called food war was the idea of ​​Monroe, and the one who spread the kingdom

Then it was they who spread the rumors.

"It would be great if there weren't those nobles, this place would be like heaven!" Susan couldn't help but said.

"Heaven?" Ivina didn't know how to express herself, nor did she expect that this word would be used in the territory under the wizard's rule.

Just as Ivina was hesitating, the closed door of the granary finally opened. Susan and others immediately surrounded her and spoke eagerly.

"Master Wizard, how much has the price of wheat dropped today?" "Is the parliament's food reserve enough?" "This is some wheat that I have saved myself. Although it is not much, please accept it."

The more than a hundred townspeople gathered in front of the granary were chattering away, and handed over the wheat grains wrapped in various cloths in their hands. Some even felt that the three meals provided by the council were too many.

In fact, it is not impossible to eat one meal a day, as this can save a lot of food.

Amid everyone's enthusiastic expectations, Peirce did not accept the wheat. Instead, he said very apologetically. "Thank you for your help, but starting from today, the Parliament is no longer prepared to purchase wheat!"

"Why? Master Wizard? Is it because the reserve funds are not enough?" Susan asked hurriedly.

The faces of the rest of the townspeople were full of worry.

"No, it's not what you think!" Peirce shook his head funny, and then showed a look of pride on his face. "In fact, Dean Lin En has completely solved the problem of food shortage... From now on

, everyone no longer has to worry about famine!”

Lynn...that magic star?

Ivina was quite surprised. She had heard this name countless times in the City of Fire and Oil. It seemed that all changes in the magical world could be related to the other party.

Now it is even more exaggerated. This magic star dares to say that he has completely solved the famine problem.

Ivina couldn't be sure for a while whether this was fake news released by the parliament or whether it was true.

Susan and others also had astonished expressions on their faces, almost in disbelief.

"If you are interested, you might as well go and see for yourself..." Peirce pointed to the direction of the train station and said in a nonchalant manner. "The trains are open today!"

Ivina left the granary confused, and walked towards the original church, which was where the train station was, with Susan and others who were also confused.

The place had already been crowded with people. Tens of thousands of citizens gathered in the square in front of the station, one by one stepping on their feet and looking up to see what was going on inside.

Ivina was also extremely curious and wanted to go in and take a look. With the wizard medal hanging on her chest, the people who led her would spontaneously make way for her along the way.

Soon, several huge silver-white trains appeared in front of the girl!

They are more than three meters tall and stretch for 70 meters in length, like a giant snake entrenched in the city...

The streamlined body makes every wizard and townspeople sigh from the bottom of their hearts when they see it for the first time.

What a beautiful creation...

What shocked Ivina even more was the mountains of cargo boxes in the train station. With her good eyesight, she could clearly see that the boxes that had not been sealed were filled with pieces of bread and a pure white color.

of powder.

Ivina, who didn't know starch, thought it was wheat flour made by grinding wheat.

The ten huge carriages in the front are already packed to the brim. The workers in the station are still working hard to transport more cargo boxes to the following carriages.

The wizards still have so much food!

What she saw in front of her was completely beyond Ivina's expectations.

The noisy discussions and exclamations around her continued to reach Ivina's ears. Some people were amazed at the new creations of the wizards, while others were crying hysterically at the mountains of bread and grain.

But more voices were praising the magic star's new invention, holding the [Magic Daily] in their hands, discussing how to use magic to make bread...

Ivina frowned, almost wondering if she had heard wrong, using magic to create bread out of thin air? Are you kidding me?

Even the Pope cannot do this. Perhaps only the Moon Goddess can do this miraculous thing.

"Sir, can you let me take a look at this Magic Daily?" Ivina couldn't help but ask.

A wizard who was interrupted in the discussion turned his head rather dissatisfied. After seeing the girl's good appearance, he immediately changed his attitude to a gentle one and said very generously. "Of course it's no problem. That's it."

I’ll give this copy to you, since I’ve already read it and written it down.”

Ivina thanked her politely, and after taking a look at it, she was immediately stunned by the title above!

[Research and Analysis of Plant Photosynthesis—On the Feasibility of [Bread Making]!]

The signature is clearly that of Magic Star Linn!

As for the paper below, which took up an entire page and contained several thousand words, Ivina couldn't understand it at all. Fortunately, the wizard beside her diligently explained it to her.

The first half of the paper explains how plants perform photosynthesis and convert various elements into nutrients that can be absorbed by the human body. The second half studies how to restore this process by relying on magic.

Probably due to confidentiality, no specific spell model is given above, but the importance of three things is emphasized.

The simplest way to produce food only requires water, carbon dioxide and electricity!

"Master Lin En is truly a magic star. He can actually think of such a way to solve the problem of food shortage." The wizard said with great admiration.

Ivina didn't expect that the wizards actually used magic to create food!

She has also taken a chemistry class and knows very well what carbon dioxide is. It can be said that everyone is a machine that produces carbon dioxide in batches, and there is no need to worry about the shortage of raw materials.

Not to mention water, there is no shortage of water in the kingdom, and wizards can also control thunder and lightning, which means that as long as they think about it, the other party can continuously produce massive amounts of food. The mountains of cargo boxes in the station are proof!

However, the one who had the biggest reaction to this was not Ivina, but the nobles and wealthy businessmen who had purchased a large amount of food before!

They either collapsed and sat on the ground, or shouted hysterically.

Everyone knows that once these trains transport carriages full of bread to major cities in the kingdom, the wheat in their hands will be worthless in an instant!

Even in the best possible outcome, their assets will inevitably shrink hundreds of times!

A wealthy businessman even had the idea of ​​blowing up these trains and burning all the mountains of bread.

However, the twenty airships, five fighter planes and more than fifty armored vehicles responsible for the escort, and the black muzzles were enough to dispel everyone's restless thoughts!

The desperate cries of the nobles and wealthy businessmen did not attract the slightest sympathy. Instead, they received waves of ridicule and contemptuous looks. Even many townspeople cheered the name of the magic star and celebrated the victory.

.

According to this, five hundred meters away, Lin En, who was being talked about by everyone, was standing on the roof of a house, watching the huge trains roaring into the distance!

The seven trains contained a total of 6,000 tons of starch and bread, plus the 5,000 tons of rations released in front, which was enough to be the last straw that broke the camel's back!

"Inform Lauder and let them start collecting debts!" ​​Linn ordered.

"Yes, Dean Lin En!" Alok beside him said with admiration, and then launched the electromagnetic wave signal for debt collection.

In the past month, the Parliament has passed dozens of caravans as white gloves, giving them to rich merchants in total. The nobles have mortgaged tens of millions of imperial gold coins - the money released was what these people originally used to buy grain.

savings!

In the end, the money went round and round and returned to their hands, and it was accompanied by the other party's assets, manor, slaves and even the subjects!

Gambling is not a good idea...Lin En secretly lamented that once he gets involved, he will be ruined. The profit of hundreds of times is enough to make people crazy enough to lose their minds. They voluntarily increase their bets layer by layer, blocking everything they have to obtain a victory that does not exist at all...
