Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darnell nodded without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Regina hesitated slightly, “As for that matter, I can only try my best, since there are many places where I too need food supplies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If there is not enough food, compensating with manpower is also acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the near future, I will need a large number of laborers, whether they be humans, demi-humans, dwarves, half-elves, or elves; as long as they are good-natured and willing to create wealth with their own hands, Miss Regina, you may refer them to me,” Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven conceded, slightly adjusting his strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, he was looking to deeply tap into Regina’s influence and connections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven’s new terms, Regina couldn’t help but smile, “That would be just what I need.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I happen to know of a refugee camp with residents all from Thacel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven is willing to take them in, I could make a special trip there when I have some spare time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A refugee camp from Thacel.” Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven involuntarily sat up straight, his expression serious, “There is such a place in Battle Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s possible, Miss Regina, please take me with you when you have the time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May I ask why?” Regina inquired curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have Thacel blood running through my veins,” Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven stated bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had not chosen to stay and develop in Thacel, it didn’t mean he had no feelings for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see,” Regina realized, “In that case, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven, you should definitely visit there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this trip to Weizemay Manor was a last-minute change in my schedule, and I have already been delayed here for quite some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How about this – we set a two ‘tenday’ period, and meet in Good Fortune Village at the Good Fortune Tooth Mountain Range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I’ll take you there, how does that sound?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That would be suitable,” Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven nodded, “Weizemay Manor has been neglected for so long and needs to be refurbished and resettled, especially with the intention of taking in a large number of refugees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two ‘tendays’ should be just right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for the Just Hammer, if Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven has time, you should also stop by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We have taken in quite a number of refugees from Thacel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I believe they will find a better sense of belonging with you,” Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darnell added from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are familiar with the situation here and know many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If possible, please help me spread a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am willing to accept all refugees from Thacel, regardless of their original family or city affiliations, as long as they are willing to set aside past hatreds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We will create our new homeland here,” Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven stated emphatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Regina’s and Darnell’s reactions, it was clear that Battle Valley and the surrounding valleys were not only home to refugees from Thacel but that their numbers were significant, creating a problem not too big nor too small for the local area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reflection, such a situation was quite normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karinshan and Thacel were among the important human origins in Felen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the valleys were first cultivated 1,500 years ago, their kingdoms had been established for thousands of years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thacel, having a hereditary monarchy, thrived for four to five hundred years, multiplying its population several times over, with a peak population approaching ten million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past half-century, with the decline of royal authority and the rise of warlords, internal strife and external invasions have led to continuous warfare and a dramatic decline in population.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the population density was still incomparable to that of the valleys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nort Castle alone had nearly a thousand people, not to mention big cities like Darama with close to a hundred thousand inhabitants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such densely populated cities in the valleys were unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the last half-century, the number of war refugees fleeing from Thacel was certainly not small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if only a very minor portion had fled to the valleys, it would have been significant trouble for such a relatively loose governing region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As outsiders struggling for survival, they would naturally band together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people of Thacel had become infamous for their ferocity due to years of conflict among warlords, and militias were commonplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also presented a perfect opportunity for Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once his banner was raised, and he could stand his ground, it would naturally attract refugees from Thacel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, they had always been taught to be loyal and patriotic to monarchy, giving them a natural advantage in terms of obedience to lords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially in the context of leaving their homes and hearths behind, they will rally tightly around each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good,” Regina and Darnell agreed readily, as this was simply going with the flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven wasn’t wrong, the war refugees from Thacel were more than just a bit of trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many had a military background, including deserters and defeated soldiers fleeing from battle, and after years of service, they knew nothing other than sword fighting and lacked any other skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such people often found it difficult to integrate into peaceful life and ultimately tended to take the path of violence and plunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Valley, the Thacel refugees were almost synonymous with bandits and robbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This led to local powers finding it even harder to accept them, pushing them to band together even more and then leading to more intense conflicts with the local residents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a vicious cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a territory were willing to take them in and send them all there, it would be something many local residents would be happy to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether they might grow too influential and thus affect the safety of the entire Valley, such a strategic perspective was not something ordinary people possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then here’s to a pleasant cooperation,” Gaven lifted his glass of black wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To a pleasant cooperation,” everyone raised their glasses in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With shared interests, the relationship among the three parties became more harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven, speaking of advertising matters, entered into deeper discussions with Regina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, seamlessly incorporating the black wine advertisement into the Weizemay Manor poem that Regina had just created, using it to broaden its influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such as holding large-scale tasting events in well-known hotels and taverns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like how to promote the unique effects of black wine, which even Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darnell of the Just Hammer praised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or how to create hype around the unique production of black wine, making people mistakenly believe that the wine was a result of the haunted Weizemay Manor and could not be produced in future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he himself could not express any opinion on the matter, letting them misunderstand on their own, laying the groundwork for future mass production without being caught for false advertising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also made predictions about the sales direction of the black wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven and Regina agreed that the wealthy in Sambia, especially the wine merchants, would be the optimal customers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To further elevate the status of black wine, they believed it was essential to put a lot of effort into the packaging, making it distinguishable from ordinary wines and immediately appear upscale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven had a wealth of knowledge to draw from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regina, on the other hand, possessed extraordinary creativity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this aspect, the two of them were a perfect match and enjoyed their discussion immensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people around them broke into a cold sweat, as it seemed four words were slowly appearing above their heads—unscrupulous and cunning merchants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within just one night, according to their talk, the value of the black wine in that cellar would double—at least worth over five hundred thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By that time, each household could make a profit of a hundred thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was still a conservative estimate; the actual situation would depend on the subsequent promotional effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unknown Dark Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unknown Dwarves city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a temple more crypt-like than divine, an altar held a statue of a Dwarves female deity, wrapped in a black cloak, her expression ferocious and twisted, standing a Dwarves Elf’s female hand with several silver rings on the fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the temple of the Goddess of Revenge, the Lady of the Dead, the Revenge Wraith Chiaranlisha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was midnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of the statue, countless figures knelt densely, engrossed in devout prayer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of divine light suddenly burst forth from the statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of the statue, a crystal-clear skeleton head shattered abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leading Dwarves Elf stood up sharply, turned, and swept a gaze over the other Dwarves Elves kneeling deeper on the ground, and angrily commanded, “Someone has blasphemed our great Lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Revenge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone has disrupted the Lady’s sacred plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Revenge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The surface, the valley, Battle Valley, Weizemay Manor, find this Blasphemer and carry out the most sacred revenge, as commanded by the Goddess and our duty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reclaim everything the Goddess requires.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your command shall be obeyed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All figures rose to their feet, revealing their dark gray faces, all Dwarves Elves without exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were not followers of Rose but believers in Chiaranlisha, committed to revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On their faces, there was no trace of fear, only intense excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As followers of the Goddess of Undead Vengeance, revenge was their favorite task, the meaning and essence of their existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially a divine revenge on behalf of the Goddess of Undead Vengeance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a matter of supreme glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darkness once again enveloped the crypt-like temple, but what filled it this time was not mere darkness but the Shadow Plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These followers of revenge knew it was their Goddess providing assistance, guiding them toward the path of revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, they surged into the darkness, embarking on the road of vengeance for their Goddess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, early morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darnell and Miss Regina parted ways with Gaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two groups did not set off together again but instead used their own powers to make their own ways separately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Regina pulled out a fist-sized gryphon statue which transformed into a gryphon mount she flew away on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darnell, along with two students, directly tore a Shadow Walk Spell scroll and entered the Shadow Plane, using it to travel rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ordinary people, the perilous Shadow Plane was nothing but a shortcut for these three powerful Paladins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their previous journey to Weizemay Manor via the merchant path was merely to accommodate these temporary companions, with their true strength not fully revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven also had a host of trump cards he had not displayed before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a temporarily formed adventuring party, it was quite normal for each member to hold some tactics back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after sending them off, Gaven did not dare to bring Thornspike and the Dog Demons into the Weizemay Manor immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew if Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darnell had other powers that could perceive the situation here, or if he hadn’t traveled far and might pop out of the Shadow Plane again—it would be awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven instructed Estelle and Amanda to maintain a physical state as much as possible even within the manor, to avoid transforming into spiritual bodies unless absolutely necessary, to avoid unnecessary trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ushering out these outsiders, the first thing Gaven did was not to tour Weizemay Manor but to notify Lord Virginia to send reinforcements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As usual, Gaven activated a Teleportation Spell to return to Dragon Oak Dragon Nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a Teleportation Spell, you have this advantage: you can be thousands of miles from home, yet it feels as if you never left, returning whenever you wish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there was no rush this time, Gaven did not immediately drag Lord Virginia to teleport to Weizemay Manor but instead inspected his territory, dealing with some backlogged official duties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basically, there weren’t many official duties to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven had made a solid foundation from the start; all the towns had their own responsibilities and development focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pitfall Town was quietly digging, laying traps, mining Spirit Crystals, and not concerning themselves with other matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their only connection with Dragon Oak Territory and the outside world was food supply from the Blackwell Tribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To increase the secrecy of the town, they maximized the quantity of food supply and reduced the frequency, conducting all operations secretly at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just outsiders who were unaware of Pitfall Town’s existence; most of the gnolls of Dragon Oak Territory were too.\u003C\u002Fp>",2063,"2026-06-06T12:33:11.058Z",1,"novelbin.me","e03310ba780d2342ed6149d32e1704c4f4d30de1ed4fdd7b92be7c0089a13542","farming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-chapter-294","farming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-chapter-292",2384,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffarming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-cover.jpg"]
