Throne of the North.

Chapter 265 Miracles and Life Magic

Free things often come with a cost that is not visible at the moment.

The Empire's Cathedral of Light obviously could not wait for three months, so after the news from the south confirmed the deal with the Frozen Territory, it also brought a large number of objects to spread the faith in the God of Light.

Marquis Beifeng, the favored one of light, a nobleman with divine grace, performed a miracle.

Because of the war, the spring plowing in Thundercloud County, especially in the former territory of Earl Weiss, is later than that in all the noble territories. It is also for this reason that the harvest on this land will be very low this year.

If winter had come earlier and been colder, many civilians and slaves would have died this year.

This is the impact of war, and only those who are deeply involved in it can understand it.

No matter how much benefit the nobles gained or how much wealth they lost because of their victory in the war, those are just numbers, but those numbers will eventually fall on the heads of the lowest-level serfs.

This is where the miracle of Marquis Beifeng was demonstrated.

He released a huge range of "divine magic", which he said was a gift from the God of Light that only the Columbus royal family could master.

So, just like that, the light of divine power in his hands fell, covering the sky with a sea of ​​clouds, and then a heavy rain fell. Under the heavy rain, the wheat seedlings in the farmlands thrived.

In just one day, the wheat is ripe!
“What a rich divinity this is.”

Ryan was shocked. The "miracle" performed by Marquis Beifeng covered an area with a radius of about fifteen miles and a diameter of fifteen kilometers. He was also standing in the center of the largest farmland in Leiyun County.

This scale cannot be compared with the power of gods, even legends cannot compare.

"The divine blessing only brought this rain, the real power lies in the rain."

"I feel the unique vitality of life magic."

It was a rare occasion for the great wizard McKen to return to the frozen land territory from the wilderness world. He looked at the sky in the south. Even though he was two counties away, the great wizard could feel the magical factors boiling in the void.

"You mean, some kind of life magic was diluted by this heavy rain and fell on the wheat seedlings on the ground, causing them to directly change from a growing state to a mature state?"

"That statement... is also correct."

Master McKen looked at Ryan in surprise. Since he was not a magician, it would be difficult for him to understand such a thing. However, in Ryan's mouth, this matter sounded very common.

"It should be some kind of powerful life magic that spread to the sky with a diameter of 15,000 meters through this heavy rain, and then was brought down by the rain."

"Those legendary life magicians actually developed something."

"Is it possible to release this kind of life magic on a large scale?"

Ryan asked seriously, the productivity of this world is very poor if we only look at ordinary people, but if extraordinary factors are added, everything will become unfamiliar to him.

Just like now, within a day, the wheat seedlings in the farmland are mature and can be harvested directly. If this kind of thing can be widely used, it will bring about earth-shaking changes to the empire, which is already in the agricultural society stage.

Gods? Damn gods, they can’t do anything to increase grain production tenfold or a hundredfold.

"I'm afraid it's difficult."

Master McKen shook his head and said:
"Life magic is either solidified on a magic scroll, or a magic potion with the corresponding effect is created through this magic, but the cost is not cheap."

"Besides, the scale of that heavy rain consumed a lot of divinity. No matter how much divinity the royal family has, they can't withstand such waste."

Ryan understood that indeed, divinity was used in this "miracle". So the cost of this miracle was much higher than the price of wheat in the farmland within the 15,000-meter diameter.

The occurrence of miracles is not for the purpose of increasing production, but for the spread of faith.

I don’t know how many people became firm believers of the God of Light because of this heavy rain.

So that...

"Father, can the Lord double the beans in my farm? In a few days, I will have to hand over 150 kilograms of grain to the lord, but if so, we can only keep 30 kilograms, which is much less than last year."

"Maybe this year... my mother will starve to death in the winter."

The rough farmer lowered his head and refused the missionary's healing skills, hoping to get some "miracle" instead.

The missionary was powerless to do anything about this. The gift of the morning light could make him a doctor, but it could not make him a god and create food out of thin air.

"We failed."

Gathering together, several missionaries bowed their heads and told the archbishop about the failure of spreading the faith during this period.

In this land, light is more easily recognized than dawn, and the pioneers of light, including the local nobles of the North Wind Province, are promoting it.

The former was truly for the purpose of spreading light, while the latter wanted to use it to offset the impact of the missionaries from the Church of Dawn who had "passed by" their territory not long ago.

"Perhaps the dawn of my Lord will never illuminate this dark land again."

The missionaries were frustrated, seeing this as a failure on their part as believers.

"The heretics of the empire deceived the ignorant common people."

The archbishop with wavy red hair did not say anything. Unlike the frustrated missionaries, her eyes remained pious and firm.

"This is just a little tribulation our Lord has given us."

Frozen collar.

Ryan knew that with a miracle, the books would be delivered without any problems.

A free lunch will bring devout faith, the God of Light will soon gain a foothold in the Borean Province, and the Empire's plan will be successful.

Ryan no longer had many ideas about the expensive miracle, so he found Master Yelena. If it weren't for her background, this talented mage might have already become famous.

Since miracles are expensive and difficult to replicate, being down-to-earth becomes the only option.

"These seeds can adapt to the cold of frozen soil more effectively. Their survival rate in the soil is over 80 percent. They cannot be planted this year, but we can select a test field to plant them. If successful, we can produce an extra five to ten kilograms of grain per acre of land next year."

"However, the cultivation value of seeds is quite high. On average, it costs one silver coin per acre, and the materials used are all magical crops."

"After three to five years, when the seeds have stabilized from generation to generation, we can cancel the investment of this part of the cost."

Ryan's eyes widened and he nodded excitedly, which made Yelena, who didn't understand many things, almost jump up.

Ryan was well aware of the changes this upgrade would bring to the Frozen Territory and to the lands where Ryan's influence would radiate in the future.

Food is the most important thing for people. If he controls food production, he will be everyone’s god!
