The general of His Majesty Void Mask had put an end to the problem of keeping the poor people of Darr warm.
Of course, Sui Xiong did not need to cut down trees. After he understood the situation, he used his Divine Power to fetch some red stones that continuously emitted heat from the fire element plane.
These stones could absorb heat and release it in a cold environment. On the Main Plane, many fashionable businessmen would use them to keep warm in their temporary lodgings. Compared to using magic to keep warm, the cost was slightly lower. The only problem was that it was more dangerous — these stones were not stable and could easily explode and burn people.
Of course, these stones were also produced in the Main Plane. They usually appeared in volcanoes or in the magma underground. Because it was troublesome to mine and not very valuable, the production was very low. The amount that Sui Xiong collected this time was probably more than the amount that appeared in the market in ten years.
Using these stones, known as "prison rock," to keep warm was a technical job. Without enough skill, not only could one not get warm, but they would also burn themselves. Sui Xiong knew this technique because he had seen businessmen using this in the territory of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins.
Their method was to bury the stones underground, wrap them in thick ashes, then lay a layer of soil on top and put a wooden plank on top. After a period of time, the heat would spread along the wooden planks, warming the large room.
Well, it felt like floor heating.
There were a few key points to this technique. First, the soil in which the stones were buried had to be as dry as possible. Second, the ashes had to be fully burned. Third, the wooden plank on top had to be the kind that would not bend easily. As long as these points were met, a good "greenhouse" could be built.
The poor people of the slums naturally did not have such skills, but the clergymen did. They hurriedly dug holes under the bedrooms of the poor people and set up a greenhouse. It took them a few days to finish the job.
With the warmth from the prison rock mine, the poor people who had been worried about keeping warm finally got over the difficulty. Baron Dahl also took this opportunity to set up such a greenhouse in his mansion.
Sui Xiong did not stop Baron Dahl from doing so. In his opinion, Baron Dahl's selfish choice was not necessarily a big mistake. Everyone was selfish, and forcing others to be selfless was not something a kind jellyfish should do.
But he still taught Baron Dahl a small lesson. When Baron Dahl finished decorating the greenhouse and went to enjoy the "pure natural" warmth, he did not know what had happened, but he accidentally knocked over the teacup. The scalding tea splashed on his leg, causing him to grimace in pain and scream.
A burn of this degree would require a few days of recuperation on Earth, but in this world with mysterious powers, it was nothing more than a healing spell. But just as Kabala was about to cast a healing spell on Baron Dahl, who was being carried over by the servants, he discovered that although his prayers had been answered, he was unable to borrow any Divine Power from His Majesty the Void Mask.
He was stunned for a moment and prayed again, but the result was the same.
Thus, he understood.
"Lord Baron... His Majesty doesn't want to treat you." He sighed and said, "It's probably because of what happened last time. He holds a grudge."
Baron Dahl also understood, and smiled helplessly.
Fortunately, although the healing spell was ineffective, the medicine used to treat burns was still effective. Over the years, the Church of the God of Medicine had collected many prescriptions, organized and improved them, and one of them was the medicine for burns. Both the Church of the Void Mask and Baron Dahl had some medicine for burns. After applying the refined ointment, although the wound still hurt, at least it would not be serious.
Of course, Baron Dahl did not dare to complain, and he did not even have such a thought. In the eyes of some strict gods, he had refused the request of the Church of the Void Mask, which would be considered as treason. Being able to pass the test with only one burn, he was already secretly grateful to His Majesty the Void Mask for his generosity.
After solving the problem of heating for the poor, and punishing the stingy Baron Dahl, Sui felt that his mind was clear, and his mood was much better.
So he found Kabala and asked him about the details.
"Where did those Druids come from? Have you asked about them? "
Facing the god he believed in, Kabala could not help but stutter, "They … they said that they came from a place called 'Carapalia'."
"Carapalia? What is that place? "
"Sorry, I don't know either …"
Sui Xiong shook his head and thought carefully for a while, but he could not figure out what this place was, so he had to ask his friends.
He asked a few friends, but none of them knew this place. In the end, Wall used his divine power and searched with the help of the priesthood of knowledge, and finally found the information about this place.
It was a small world located at the edge of the Material Plane, and was somewhat close to the Spiritual Plane. There were many forests in this world, and it was full of vitality. After the decline of the Elf Kingdom, many elves and other Druids left the Main Plane and moved to this world.
"But why did they come back?" Sui Xiong asked.
Wall shook his head. This was not something he could inquire about.
The priesthood of knowledge could only inquire about fixed nouns, things, places … and so on. Even if he wanted to answer this kind of question, he could not do it.
Sui Xiong did not ask for details, but he had already guessed most of it.
It seemed that the reason why the group of Druids suddenly returned to the human world was most likely because of the guy who wanted to talk to him.
He did not rush to take action, but continued to talk with Kabala.
"Why don't you try to expel the Druids?" he asked.
"I tried … but, I can't beat them."
"How is it possible! You can summon oracles! "
Kabala was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of this method as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Since becoming the priest, he had been busy with work, and gradually got used to the change of his identity. He had gradually forgotten his former identity as the "Lucky Man of Europe", and he also forgot that he could still use the method of summoning oracles to solve problems.
As the saying goes, if you don't practice, you don't sing, you don't sing. After not summoning oracles for a few years, the "Little Prince of Europe" even forgot about this …
He could not help but slap himself, but then he laughed.
"Yes! I will remember next time! "he said with a smile," I will remember next time! "
Sui Xiong also laughed, and then he went to the forest.
He flew into the forest, but did not look for the Druids. Instead, he just stopped in an empty space in the forest, and said with a smile, "No matter who you are, since you want to find me, then I am here."
"If you have anything to say, then come out and talk to me."
After a moment, in the shadow of a tree not far behind him, the shadow wriggled, and a figure wearing a hood walked out.
