Chapter 205 Pressure Relief Valve, Hound House (15)
Outside the Hound House.
Harrick quickly finished dividing the salted potatoes on hand, but more and more refugees were coming, and the open space outside was completely blocked.
A large sack of salted potatoes was simply not enough, and most of the refugees did not receive food.
Because there were too many people, the people behind could not see what was going on at the door, so they just squeezed forward under the temptation of the food.
In this case, if someone in the crowd incites the crowd, or takes the lead without inciting, the situation will immediately get out of control.
Rosen's eyes flashed, and with a thought, an impact missile with 10% agility had rushed to an altitude of 10 meters and exploded with a 'boom'!
With his current mana, even a spell with only 10% of the scale is quite powerful. The sound of the explosion was deafening, and it immediately shocked the refugees at the door.
The excited refugees were suddenly shocked, and the noisy crowd fell silent.
The gradually rising atmosphere was forcibly broken up by powerful spells.
Immediately afterwards, Rosen went to Harik's side again and released a force of impermanence. A constant gravitational arc, and the dexterity was controlled at 5%.
‘Buzz~~’
A gravitational field was created out of thin air, pushing the surrounding refugees back three meters, clearing a small open space by the gate between the dogs.
Immediately afterwards, Rosen released another group soul voice and shouted loudly.
"Don't be crowded, there is plenty of food!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Harrick, who whispered the number.
"The cellar and the rooms on the first floor are full, and the coarse grains stored are enough to feed 1,000 people for a month."
Rosen knew it well and immediately shouted loudly: "As long as you come here, there will be food for everyone!"
“No need to squeeze!”
The powerful spell calms people down, and the promise of sufficient food soothes the soul. The refugees crowded at the door calm down a lot.
But this calmness is temporary, because under the torture of hunger, people's emotions will become very anxious and their patience is very limited.
If you don't get food for a long time, you will immediately have strong doubts.
Only when people can truly see hope can they calm down completely.
Rosen took the opportunity to shout: "A group of people who just ate potatoes came out to help carry the food!"
Upon hearing this, the hungry crowd's eyes lit up and their mood became calmer, because Rosen's words proved that there was indeed food here.
More than forty people, both men and women, immediately crowded into the crowd.
This group of people shouted at Rosen.
"We have eaten potatoes, we have strength, and we are here to help."
Rosen first released physical and magical lucky shields on Harrick, then aimed at the crowd, and released a 200% dexterity force of impermanence, the Ring of Gravity.
The power of the spell immediately trapped about fifty people at the door, while the others were pushed back a few steps.
"Insiders, go into the hall to move food. Outsiders, wait patiently. The food will be here soon!"
With that said, he waved to Harik, who then said to the refugees in the circle: "Come on, follow me into the house to carry food."
He entered the hall first, and the refugees followed him with faces full of joy.
After a while, I brought out boxes of kudzu, cassava, and potatoes. They were all raw and had only been roughly washed, and there was still a lot of mud on the surface.
Naturally, the taste is far inferior to that of salted potatoes.
But no one cares about this at this time. A person who has not had enough to eat for many years and has traveled a long distance and is tired, hungry and thirsty will not care about whether the food is rough.
As long as it can fill your stomach.
Rosen glanced at the food that was brought out, immediately activated his magic hand, picked it up and handed it to the refugees outside the circle.
Shouting while handing it over.
“Don’t be stuck in traffic when you get something to eat, and make way for those behind you!”
"Don't stay here to rest after filling your stomach. Run out and tell your fellow villagers to come here to find food."
"There is so much food, even if we all come here we will still be full!"
The refugees in the hall kept bringing out food, and soon there was a huge pile.
Rosen quickly distributed the food while shouting repeatedly.
At first, the effect was not very good, because everyone was so hungry that they were busy filling their stomachs.
But as the food became more and more abundant and more and more refugees were filling their bellies, some people started running away to help publicize the Hound House.
After all, they are all from Crescent Town, and they feel a sense of fellow villagers. When they are full, they naturally want more fellow townspeople to be fed.
As a result, more and more refugees gathered at the door of the Hound House. There were thousands of people in the crowd, and they were still gathering here.
All the food from the cellar was also moved out and piled in the hall, forming a hill.
Rosen called to the refugees who were free: "Don't be idle, help distribute the food."
At the same time, he maintained a gravitational circle with a radius of 10 meters at the door to prevent refugees from completely blocking the door.
This is not only to make it easier to distribute food, but also to prevent assassins from taking the opportunity to sneak attack him when the crowd is crowded.
When it came to assassins, Rosen didn't dare to relax at all.
Because in order to instigate a bloody conflict, both sides would have to rush to the scene, the city defense army would have a secret agent, and there would certainly be pushers among the refugees.
It was okay at first, but now the situation has spread and everyone knows that he is here to disrupt the situation.
The dark ones in the crowd will definitely try to get rid of him.
In such a crowded and chaotic situation, if you are killed in a sneak attack by an assassin mixed in the crowd, your death will be in vain. There will be no way to find out who did it afterwards.
Therefore, Rosen was extremely vigilant.
As the food was distributed more and more, more and more refugees gathered, so dense that one could not even see the end of the crowd.
Just as Rosen stood at the door and quickly distributed the food, he suddenly heard a "bang" sound in his ears. It was very soft and was completely drowned in the noise of the crowd.
Almost at the same time, a very secret black line rushed out, passed through the chest of 'Rosen', and 'pop' was deeply nailed to the wall behind the figure.
Rosen was unharmed because the shot was just a mirror image he had set up in advance.
No one even noticed this small change, not even Harik next to him.
He is busy dividing the food.
Rosen glanced at the arrow shaft that was not on the wall, and his pupils shrank: 'Good guy, the golden arrow that breaks the law!'
Such an arrow costs more than 800 crowns. Because Serjin is a poor conductor of mana, it has excellent spell-breaking properties.
Such arrows can ignore at least 90% of the power of ordinary magic shields. If an ordinary mage is secretly shot with an arrow, even if the shield is triggered, he will still be dead.
However, the lucky shield has a special structure, and although its power will be weakened, it will only be weakened by about 30%.
Rosen, who had set up a sophisticated mirroring technique in advance, was unscathed.
But no matter what, this is a very dangerous assassination.
In an instant, Rosen deduced based on the position of the arrow shaft that the assassin's hideout was in a room across the street.
Without a second thought, a nearly completely transparent gravitational collapse was thrown into the window.
'Well!'
A short scream came from the room, which lasted for a moment and then disappeared.
And such small movements were completely submerged in the roar of people, and almost no one noticed.
A silent fatal crisis, a silent confrontation, if your ability and luck are not that good, you have to return to the Kingdom of God.
The road to the top, even if it is just the top of a small place, will never be smooth and will be full of thorns and ups and downs.
Rosen was mentally prepared.
In order to prevent assassinations from happening again, he completely handed over the food distribution work to the refugees, while he quietly hid in an inconspicuous corner and repeated his previous words over and over again.
Of course, he didn't forget to add a lucky shield with extreme dexterity to Harik's body to prevent his right-hand man from dying unexpectedly.
At the same time, he was not idle either,
He quickly counted the number of refugees gathered at the door.
In a short time, the number of refugees who had received food had exceeded 2,000, and the number of refugees who had not yet received food but had arrived was over 4,000, that is, 6,000 people, accounting for half of the number of refugees.
Due to more and more refugee propaganda, refugees are still arriving, and the street in front of the Hound House has been blocked with water.
This situation made Rosen secretly relieved.
The city defense forces are exercising restraint, and he is also violently releasing pressure on the refugees. The risk of conflict between the two sides is rapidly decreasing.
At this time, someone in the refugee group suddenly shouted.
"Brothers, the big shots in Silver Moon Castle eat meat every day, but..."
Halfway through the voice, the man was located by Rosen. With a thought, a gravity ball flew over and floated the man three meters high.
This is a young man in his thirties, with a strong body and a fierce face. Although his clothes are torn, he has a fine steel dagger on his waist.
At first glance, it looks like a pusher placed among the refugees.
Under the words of the collective mind, Rosen shouted loudly.
"Look, what a strong man! He also carries such an expensive dagger!"
"These are not civilians, these are robbers planning to rob!"
These days, civilians are all sallow and skinny, most of them are as thin as a stick. Not to mention the fine steel daggers on their bodies, they can't even wear full clothes.
When Rosen shouted this, most of the refugees only looked up and continued to nibble on the food in their hands.
The sky is big and the earth is big, filling the stomach is the biggest thing.
The few who had eaten enough started to shout after seeing the man's condition and hearing Rosen's words.
"Robber! Kill the robber!"
Many people picked up the mud on the ground and threw it at the man in the air.
In fact, they don't care whether the other person is a robber, they just want to find a punching bag to vent their resentment and anger.
Naturally, this resentment could not be vented to Rosen, a powerful mage who generously distributed food, so he vented it all on the unlucky guy caught by the powerful mage.
The reason is simple, there is no need to pay any price for venting like this.
"Kill this robber. With such a strong body, he must have robbed many people!"
"There's a famine in Crescent Town because there are too many bastards like this!"
"Where are the rocks? Someone give me some rocks!"
Suddenly, mud, stones, and even some fresh feces all flew towards the unlucky guy in the air.
It can be seen that the unfortunate guy is a low-level warrior. When he was attacked by the refugees, a faint white light appeared on his body, but he did not dare to fight back and could not break free, so he could only endure it.
After a while, his body was overwhelmed by filth.
During this period of time, Rosen's eyes were like those of an eagle, inspecting the crowd over and over again, and sure enough he discovered several hidden pushers.
However, their companions suffered misfortune first, and the powerful mage was watching them, so these instigators did not dare to speak out.
After waiting for a while, a group of Silver Moon Rangers squeezed in, led by an old acquaintance, Knight Hamil!
After he saw Rosen, he strode towards him, patted his shoulder hard, and whispered: "Hey~ I knew you were prepared~"
There are 10 Silver Moon Rangers, all of whom are mid-level warriors, and Knight Hamil has been promoted to high-level.
At this time, everyone was wearing thick leather mail armor and carrying an extremely thick steel shield.
It is enough to maintain order in the hound house.
When help arrived, Rosen's tense mind relaxed slightly and he quickly asked: "Where is Chabolai?"
"It's right at the corner of the street over there. It's so crowded here that I can't get in at once."
Rosen nodded to express his understanding and immediately called Harrick. After a group of people gathered around, he quickly stated the follow-up plan.
"Uncle Harrick, continue to distribute food, shine brightly, and feed as many refugees as possible!"
Harrick nodded: "I understand."
"When posting it, we also have to spread bad words about Fubos."
"For example, Samler is Fubosi's brother-in-law, and Fubosi is a bastard. He knows that his brother-in-law is not doing anything, but he doesn't care."
"It was also said that Fubosi's wife was very angry about the murder of her brother-in-law and vowed to severely punish the murderer. But Fubosi was a turtle and would never dare to disobey his wife."
"In short, we will smear him no matter what, just to make the refugees hate Fubos to the extreme! There will be no room for redemption for Fubos."
A group of people nodded immediately.
Rosen finally said.
"Finally, one thing to note is that a group of people quietly let the victims enter the city this time."
"What the other party did is very secretive. I haven't found out the identity of this group of people yet, but I guess it is related to the scholar sect mage. There is a high probability that it is related to Faerun."
Silver Moon Castle is such a big place, and there are three major forces in total.
Even without Patsy's information, Rosen could still guess who was behind the scenes, but he wasn't as sure and precise as he is now.
When Harrick and others heard Rosen's words, everyone looked solemn.
Hamil asked: "You mean, we may be attacked by mages?"
Rosen shook his head: "No, Faerun's people will not take action openly. He himself will even stay as far away as possible to clear his ties."
"So don't worry too much about being attacked."
If there are only one or two people, as was the case with Rosen just now, the other party will naturally solve the trouble secretly through sneak attacks.
But if ten Silver Moon Rangers, including a high-level warrior among them, wanted to attack, it would not be a conspiracy, but a forceful attack.
The Sano family doesn't have the power yet.
Seeing that everyone looked relaxed, he changed the topic.
"However, they have placed many agitators among the refugees, always looking for opportunities to incite the refugees' emotions and trigger riots."
"When you maintain order, you must pay special attention to the instigators in the crowd. Once discovered, find them immediately!"
Hamilton found it difficult: "How to pull it? You can't kill it with one arrow, right?"
Shooting someone to death in public would immediately intensify the conflict.
Rosen handed over the last two boxes of rune stones.
"Levitating rune stones, 50, suspended at a height of 3 meters, lasting for one hour. Once you find the target, throw it to his feet and float him up!"
Not killing, just trapping, will cause deep fear, but will not make people despair, and naturally it will not stimulate extreme emotions.
Coupled with the charity of distributing food, the refugees who have already filled their bellies will not easily go to extremes.
Hamill is also a shrewd person and understood immediately.
"Well, good stuff!"
"So you understand now?"
"Understood."
"Very good, I'm going to see Chapollet now. As long as you remain stable for half an hour, it will be done today!"
