The generals of His Majesty the Mask of the Void put an end to the problem of keeping the poor people of Dalland warm from the cold.
Of course, Sui Xiong didn't need to cut down the trees. After he understood the situation, he used his divine power to directly get some red stones from the fire elemental plane that could continuously emit heat.
This stone absorbs heat and releases it in cold environments. In the main plane, many fashionable businessmen will use it to keep warm in their temporary accommodation. Compared with using magic for heating, its cost is slightly lower. The only problem is that it is more dangerous-this kind of stone is not stable and can easily explode and burn people.
Of course, the main plane also produces such stones. They usually appear in volcanoes or in magma underground. Because it is troublesome to mine and not of much value, the yield is very low. What Sui Xiong collected this time may be more than what usually appears on the market in ten years.
Using this kind of stone called "Hell Rock Mine" to keep warm is a technical job. If you don't have enough skills, not only will you not be able to get warm, but you will burn yourself. Sui Xiong did know this technology, because he had seen merchants using this kind of thing to keep warm in the territory of the Gold Coin Federation merchant faction.
What they did was to bury the stone in the ground, wrap it in a thick layer of ashes, then lay a layer of soil on top, and then put wooden boards on top. After a while, the heat will radiate along the wooden boards, making a large room warm.
Well, it feels like floor heating.
There are several keys to this technology. The first is that the soil in which the stone is buried must be as dry as possible, the second is that the ashes must be fully burned, and the third is that the wooden boards laid on it must be of a kind that is not easy to bend. As long as you do these few things, you can build a good "hot house".
The poor people in the slums naturally don't have such great abilities, but the priests do. They hurriedly dug holes under the bedrooms of the poor people's houses and arranged greenhouses. I worked hard for several days before finishing this matter.
With the warmth from the Hell Rock Mine, the poor people who were originally worried about keeping out the cold finally got through the difficulties. Baron Dahl also took this opportunity to install such a greenhouse in his mansion.
Sui Xiong did not stop Baron Dahl from doing this. In his opinion, Baron Dahl's original selfish choice was not necessarily a big mistake. People are selfish, and forcing others to be selfless is really not what a kind jellyfish should do. things.
But he still taught Baron Dahl a small lesson - when Baron Dahl decorated the greenhouse and went to enjoy the "pure natural" warmth happily, he didn't know what happened and accidentally knocked over the tea cup. The hot tea was It poured on his legs, causing him to grin and yell in pain.
A burn of this degree would require several days of healing on earth, but in this world with mysterious powers, it is nothing more than a healing spell. But when the chief priest of Kabbalah wanted to perform a healing spell on Baron Dar, who was carried by his servants, he found that although his prayers were answered, he could not borrow divine power from His Majesty the Mask of the Void.
He was stunned for a moment and prayed again, but the result was still the same.
Then, he understood.
"Lord Baron... Your Majesty, he is not willing to help you with your treatment." He sighed and said, "It probably happened last time, and he has a bit of a grudge."
Baron Dar also understood and smiled helplessly.
Fortunately, although the treatment spell was ineffective, the medicine for treating burns was still effective. Over the years, the Church of the God of Medicine has collected many prescriptions, sorted them out, improved them and promoted them, one of which is scald medicine. The Void Mask Church and Baron Dar's Mansion both stocked some burn medicine. After applying the refined ointment, although the wound still hurt, at least there would be no serious consequences.
Of course Baron Dahl did not dare to complain, he did not even have such an idea. In the eyes of some strict gods, he refused the request of the church's chief priest, which was simply a treason that would be struck down by five thunderbolts. Being able to get through with just being burned like this, he was already secretly grateful to His Majesty Void Mask for his generosity.
After solving the problem of heating for the poor and giving a small punishment to the stingy Baron Dahl, Sui Xiong felt that his thoughts were clear and his mood was much better.
So he came to Kabbalah and inquired in detail.
"Where did those druids come from? Have you ever asked?"
Facing His Majesty, the god he believed in, Kabala couldn't help but stammered: "They... they said they came from a place called 'Kalapalia'."
"Kalapalia? What is that place?"
"Hug... I'm sorry, I don't know..."
Sui Xiong shook his head and thought carefully for a while, but he couldn't figure out where this "Kalapalia" was, so he had to go find a friend to ask.
He asked several friends, but no one knew about this place. In the end, Wall used his magical power and searched with the help of the "Knowledge" priesthood, and found the information about this place.
It was a small world located on the edge of the material plane, already somewhat close to the spiritual plane. There are many forests in this world, full of vitality. After the Elf Kingdom weakened, many elves and druids of other races left the main plane and moved to this world.
"But why are they back again?" Sui Xiong asked.
Wall shook his head, this was not something he could inquire about.
What the Knowledge Priest can query is only fixed nouns, things, places... and so on. He couldn't even answer the "why" question.
Sui Xiong didn't ask in detail, but he had already guessed it in his mind.
It seemed that the reason why those druids suddenly returned to the world was probably because of the guy who wanted to talk to him.
Rather than rush into action, he continued talking to Kabbalah.
"Why don't you try to banish the druids?" he asked.
"I tried... but I couldn't beat it."
"How is that possible! You can summon the divine envoy!"
Kabbalah was stunned for a moment, and then he woke up from a dream and remembered this method.
Since becoming the officiant, he has been busy with work and has gradually become accustomed to the change in status. His former identity as "Europe's lucky man" has been gradually forgotten by him, and he has also forgotten that he can still solve problems by summoning divine envoys.
Youdao can only be mastered without practicing boxing, and can only be mastered without singing songs. He has not summoned the divine messenger for several years, and the "Little Prince of Europe" has even forgotten this...
He couldn't help but slap himself, but he laughed again.
"Yes! I will remember it next time!" He said with a smile, "I will definitely remember it next time!"
Sui Xiong also laughed, and after laughing, he went to the forest.
He flew into the forest and did not go looking for the druids. He just stopped in an empty forest glade and said with a smile: "No matter who you are, since you want to find me, then I am here."
"If you have something you want to say, then come out and talk to me."
After a moment, in the shadow of a tree not far behind him, the shadow squirmed, and a hooded figure walked out.
