  Chapter 458 Ivana: Creating food in the void is something only God can do

  Susan's sudden question stopped Ivana.

  She stayed in the northern border for two years, which is the wildest part of the empire. Naturally, she has seen famine, and even participated in the church's food rescue operation, but she has never experienced that feeling...

  Susan sighed without waiting for Ivana's answer. "Just eleven years ago, the continuous wars in the western border of the empire led to a large reduction in grain production, and then the nobles and wealthy businessmen, like today, began to purchase grain in large quantities. Although it was not as terrible as this time, it was not something we could do. Affordable…”

At that time, she and her husband earned some meager income by carrying goods and other odd jobs in the slums. After deducting the deduction of the gang, they could not even earn a silver coin a month. Savings can't buy a few pieces of black bread.

   "Then the church and the empire didn't intervene or rescue?" Ivana frowned and asked in puzzlement, but soon realized the inappropriateness of her words, and quickly corrected her.

   "I mean don't those bishops often say that the Lord is merciful to the world?"

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

  Eleven years ago, the precious material such as kerosene had not been discovered, and the city was not as important as it is now. It was just an ordinary small town in the west, 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 those local nobles and wealthy merchants, and the rest of the food could not reach their hands at all.

Susan also choked up and said that one of her children was starved to death not long after she was born, because she was so hungry that she couldn't secrete enough milk~ water, and could only **** the grass roots and trees Grind the skin and cook it into soup, feed it a little...

   Turns out...her baby didn't make it through two days.

   "Grass roots, bark... can these also be eaten?" Ivana said in astonishment.

   "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 Ivana's identity as a wizard has won a lot of favor from the crowd, coupled with Susan's crying and complaints, more than a hundred townspeople gathered in front of the granary can't help but share their experience of surviving the famine.

Someone denounced the cold-bloodedness and inaction of the nobles, and someone told Ivana that her younger brother was snatched by a group of hungry townspeople and eaten alive. A teenager who was only twenty years old even shared I have survived the most difficult days by eating a kind of loess...

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

  If you don’t want to eat bark or soil, you can only risk your life and go deep into the jungle to get food there, but it is more likely to be a ration for a ferocious monster!

  Hearing more than a hundred townspeople discuss which kind of tree bark is the most delicious, which kind of grass is non-toxic and the most filling, Iweena was greatly shocked in her heart.

  Since she was a nobleman since she was a child, she never thought that turf, leaves and even dirt could be put into her mouth as food.

Although there was a famine in the northern region where she lived, and even witnessed the scene of changing children to eat, Gustav once told her that these people were corrupted by the power of demons, and their souls were about to fall into hell. to do such evil and terrible things.

   "Only wizards and adults will consider whether we have enough to eat..." An old leader said tremblingly while holding some grain.

  Ensuring three meals a day is a normal benefit for the workers for Lynn, and it can also stop the turmoil in the kingdom by the way, but it is different for the poor.

   They have never been valued like this!

  In Susan’s opinion, the wizards who are in charge of this city of fire and oil suddenly announced the provision of three meals just because they knew they couldn’t afford high-grade wheat. This kindness made her and her husband very grateful.

   Only those who have experienced the famine can understand how terrible it is. Last time they survived by luck, what about this time?

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

  Before when the grain was high, thanks to the reminder they received at the bakery, they took out all their savings and bought hundreds of kilograms of wheat, half of which had been sold before...

The half is for her and her husband, and the other half is for the two children. Susan didn't plan to sell it at first, but I suddenly heard yesterday that the reason why the council has to keep lowering the purchase price is because of the reserved funds. It wasn't enough anymore, so another part was taken out.

  She has limited ability and can only do a little bit... Maybe they have their own share of wheat in the bread they eat in the workshop!

  The rest of the citizens also talked about their experiences. Like Susan, they experienced the feeling of being valued for the first time. It turns out that some people really care about them, the poorest poor.

   Everyone boasted about the power of magic and the kindness of wizards and adults. Since Ivana is also a wizard, many praises were pushed on her.

Ivana fell silent, and those words of praise pierced her heart like sharp knives, because no one knew better than her that the so-called food war was conceived by Monroe, and the one who spread the kingdom Then the rumors were also released by them.

   "It would be great if there were no nobles, this place is like heaven!" Susan couldn't help saying.

   "Is it the kingdom of heaven?" Ivana didn't know what expression to make, and she didn't expect this word to be used in the territory ruled by wizards.

  Just as Ivana was hesitating, the closed door of the granary was finally opened. Seeing this, Susan and the others immediately surrounded her and said eagerly.

   "My lord wizard, how much has the price of wheat dropped today?" "Is there enough food in the council?" "This is some wheat I have saved. Although it is not much, please accept it."

The hundreds of townspeople who gathered in front of the granary chattered and handed over the wheat grains wrapped in various cloth leather in their hands. Some even felt that the three meals provided by the council were too much. In fact, it is not impossible to eat one meal a day, which can save a lot of food.

  Amidst the enthusiastic anticipation of the crowd, Pierce did not take the wheat, but said apologetically. "Thank you for your help, but starting today, the council is no longer planning to buy wheat!"

   "Why? My lord wizard? Could it be that the reserve funds are not enough?" Susan asked hastily.

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

   "No, it's not what you think!" Pierce shook his head amusedly, and then showed a somewhat proud expression on his face. "In fact, Dean Lynn has completely solved the problem of food shortage... From now on, everyone doesn't have to worry about famine anymore!"

  Lynn...the magic star?

  Ivana was quite surprised. In the City of Fire Oil, she had heard this name countless times. It seemed that all changes in the magical world could involve the other party.

   Now it is even more exaggerated, the star of magic dared to say that he completely solved the famine problem.

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

  Susan and the others also had expressions of astonishment, and they couldn't believe it.

   "If you're interested, you might as well go and see for yourself..." Pierce pointed in the direction of the train station, and said sternly. "The train is running today!"

  Ivana left the granary in a daze, and walked towards the original church—that is, the direction of the train station—with Susan and others who were also puzzled.

  It was already crowded with people. Tens of thousands of citizens gathered in the square in front of the station, stepping on their feet one by one, looking up at the situation inside.

  Ivana was also extremely curious, she wanted to go in and take a look, and with the wizard medal hanging on her chest, the leaders along the way would spontaneously make way for her.

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

  They are more than three meters high, stretching seventy meters long, like a giant snake entrenched in the city...

  The streamlined body made every wizard and townsman who saw it for the first time sigh from the bottom of their hearts.

   What a beautiful creation...

What shocked Ivana even more was the mountain of cargo boxes in the train station. With good eyesight, she could clearly see that the unsealed boxes were filled with pieces of bread and a pure white color. of powder.

   Ivana, who didn't know starch, recognized it as wheat flour ground from wheat.

  The ten huge carriages in front have been packed to the brim. The workers in the station are still working hard to transport more boxes to the last few carriages.

  The wizards still have so much food!

  What she saw in front of her was completely beyond Ivana's expectation.

  The noisy discussions and exclamations around were constantly heard in Ivana's ears. Some people were amazed at the new creations of the wizards, and some were crying hysterically at the mountains of bread and food.

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

  Ivana frowned, almost wondering if she heard it wrong, using magic to make bread out of thin air? What are you kidding?

  Even the Pope can’t do this, perhaps only the goddess of the moon can do this miraculous thing.

   "Sir, can I have a look at the Magic Daily?" Ivana couldn't help asking.

   A wizard who was interrupted from the discussion turned his head rather dissatisfied. After seeing the girl's good looks, he immediately changed his gentle attitude and said very generously. "Of course it's no problem. I'll give this to you. Anyway, I've read it and written it down."

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

  【Research and Analysis on Plant Photosynthesis——On the Feasibility of 【Bread Making Technique】! 】

  The signature is the magic star Lynn!

  As for the paper that occupies an entire space below, with thousands of words, Ivana couldn't understand it at all, but fortunately, the wizard at the side explained it to her graciously.

  The first half of the thesis is to explain how plants perform photosynthesis, transforming various elements into nutrients that can be absorbed by the human body, and the second half is to study how to restore this process by relying on magic.

  Probably due to confidentiality reasons, the specific spell model is not given above, but the importance of three things is emphasized.

  The easiest way to produce food, only need to rely on this water, carbon dioxide and electricity is enough!

   "Master Lynn really deserves to be a star of magic. He can think of such a way to solve the problem of food shortage." The wizard said highly.

  Evena did not expect that the wizards actually used magic to make food!

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

  Not to mention water, the kingdom is not short of water, and the wizard can also control lightning, which means that as long as he thinks, the other party can continuously produce a large amount of food, as evidenced by the mountains of cargo boxes in the station!

  However, it was not Ivana who responded the most to this point, but the nobles and wealthy businessmen who had bought a large amount of grain before!

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

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

   Even if it is the best result, their assets will inevitably shrink hundreds of times!

  The idea of ​​blowing up these trains and burning all the piles of bread rose in the mind of a wealthy businessman.

  But the twenty airships, five fighter planes, and more than fifty armored vehicles responsible for the escort, the black hole muzzle is 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 contempt. Many townspeople even cheered the name of the magic star and celebrated the victory. .

  According to this, 500 meters away, Lin En, who was being talked about by everyone, was standing on the roof of a residential house, watching huge trains roaring into the distance!

  The seven trains have a total of 6,000 tons of starch and bread, plus the 5,000 tons of rations released in front, it is enough to become the last straw that overwhelms the camel!

   "Notify Lauder, let them start collecting debts!" ​​Lynn ordered.

   "Yes, Dean Lynn!" Eloque next to him said adoringly, and then launched the electromagnetic wave signal for debt collection.

In the past month, the parliament has approved more than a dozen caravans as white gloves, lending a total of tens of millions of imperial gold coins to those rich merchants and nobles—the money that was released was exactly what these people used to buy food in the first place. Savings!

  In the end, the money went around and returned to their hands, and it was accompanied by the other party's assets, manors, slaves and even the vassals!

   Gambling is not worth it... Lynn secretly sighed, once he gets on top, he will end up bankrupt, and the profit of hundreds of times is enough to make people crazy enough to lose their minds.
