V1.Chapter 99

Nature always pulls together the whole body.

In previous years, if it was winter, the monsters in the wilderness would not have enough food, and they would also attack other nearby creatures. Now that the snow is falling more than a month earlier, they are estimated to hit other people more often. Although many aborigines do not have enough knowledge, the experience of generations of survival tells them that this winter may not be too quiet. Sauron walked downstairs with Vivian, and just after reaching the bottom of the inn, he heard a familiar voice.

"Hey Hey hey!"

"I'm here, down, I'm down."

Aladdin couldn't see at all, he could only hear his voice. The innkeeper looked around before sticking out his head with a smile on his face and said to the table, "Hello. Halfling. What do you need? Am I serving?"

Aladdin was so angry that he almost wanted to jump on the table. He took a deep breath and said, "Did you see a man and a woman bring a little girl over to stay? I saw their carriage outside."

Sauron twitched the corner of his mouth, walked down the stairs, and said, "Aladdin. We are here, aren't you going to the iron dwarf?"

Aladdin was quite happy to see them, clapped his hands and said, "Thank you Goddess of Luck, you really haven't left yet."

"It's really bad luck."

"I walked a lot yesterday, and I finally found a cave to sleep in. When I woke up after laying the trap, the heavy snow outside had blocked the entrance of the cave. I dug with a small shovel for a long time, and when I came out Only then did I realize that it was the snow that had collapsed. Unfortunately, I was trapped under several meters of snow. Originally, I planned to continue to the place where the iron dwarves were, but the snow was so deep that it reached my thighs with one foot. , there is absolutely no way to hurry.”

"So I came back along the same path to see if I can go to the elf country with you. It is said that there are many delicious foods there."

Sauron glanced at each other's legs. Sure enough, the soles of the feet to the thighs were soaked, and even the waist had traces of melting snow, which means that the snow outside may be larger than here, and the small halfling walks like a radish and a pit. The innkeeper's expression gradually became serious. He glanced at Aladdin's height, calculated the height of the other party in his heart, and said solemnly: "No! This thickness of snow has already begun to seal the winter."

The other people in the hotel also changed their expressions slightly.

Even if the snow is only above Aladdin's knees, it is close to 30 centimeters thick. Looking at the snow in the Fallen Leaf City, it is not serious. But if the thickness of the snow outside is really that high, it will be directly covered by heavy snow. The closing of winter and the beginning of spring are common sayings here. In the season of closing winter, the beasts will begin to hibernate, and many monsters in the wilderness will also rely on the stored food to survive. Generally, the hungry monsters will be active only after the end of the cold winter.

………………

Inside the tower of the Fallen City.

A group of druids in fancy clothes gathered at a certain level. There were elves, humans, and half-elves. The number of half-elves was the largest, and the number of human beings was the least, but the leader was a tall elf with antlers. Rui. A dozen druids were seated around a rectangular table. Some have already quarreled over differing remarks.

"Be quiet!"

The tall Antler Druid patted the table and said solemnly: "Come one by one, Thorns Walker, you speak first."

Standing up was a pure-blooded elf druid. He looked around with sharp eyes and said solemnly: "The heavy snow that arrived early this year has proved that we were too weak in the past! This is the punishment of the god of nature and the goddess of ice and snow for endless destruction! Wrath on those foolish humans!"

"The Grosso Plain in the southeast has been severely desertified. The endless reclamation of farmland and destruction of the environment has made the land there lose its vitality, and it will not take long. It will gradually become barren and become part of the desert. In the southwest In the wild forests on the edge, humans have cut down more than one-third of the trees in the past three decades."

"Nature is roaring!"

"This is its punishment for the whole world. Letting winter come early is a sign. If we don't do something, the world will have even more terrible natural disasters in the future. I suggest sending out a patrol of thorns to let those stupid and ignorant be seen The greedy human beings who are blinded by interests, all feel what is called the wrath of nature!"

"I object!" An old-faced human druid stood up, he frowned and glanced at the other, and said slowly: "It is not only humans that destroy the environment, dwarves, gnomes, elves, no matter which race they are. Destroy the environment to a certain extent. The world is developing with civilization, and civilization will inevitably conflict with nature. What we need to do is to find a new balance between civilization and nature, instead of strictly adhering to the way of nature in the past, always Use violence to solve all problems."

A half-elf druid with a beautiful and refined appearance tapped on the table with his finger and said softly, "A lot of people have been dissatisfied with us recently, especially because of the last attack, the attitude of the wizards towards us is very dangerous."

"The power of the wrath of nature should not be abused, we should send people to warn them first, and if there is no effect, send patrols to expel them, unless it is necessary, I recommend not to start a large-scale war. Those who are We can arrange for apprentices to plant the felled trees, and as their new task, the planters can turn it into a new forest in a maximum of ten years.”

The Thorns Walker glanced at her and said solemnly, "Then what? Let those humans continue to cut down?"

"Their demands from nature are endless. It takes more than ten years for a tree to grow, but they can cut down thousands of trees in a day. In the civilization they have developed, I only see infinity. Do you wish to see the rise of another alchemy city?"

The headed Antler Druid knocked on the table and said solemnly: "The disaster of the Arcane Empire cannot be repeated! Civilization can never be higher than nature!"

"But we can't always use violence, don't let anger blind you. Thornswalker!"

"It might just be an accident."

"Maybe we should take measures to control the destruction of nature by other people, not only humans, but also dwarves and dwarves. Recently, many people in elves have forgotten the way of nature. Maybe we should send people to remind them. The respect of nature. The sudden change of seasons is definitely not a very good phenomenon, I will send someone to the Dream Forest to ask Lord Landwalker.”

"The problem now is that the sudden onset of winter will lead to a great disaster. The animals should have stored as much fat as possible for the winter, but the heavy snow more than a month earlier has forced them into hibernation. The monsters in the wilderness have not stored enough food. If they run out of food, they will attack other creatures. Animals are the first to be harmed, and then they will start to attack other races. The biological chain of nature will face a Out of balance, we have to ensure that all species continue to thrive after the winter."

"As long as this winter is over, the forces of nature will rebalance these creatures."

The other druids nodded, and the thornwalker also took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Excellency Buck, we may not be able to maintain balance with our strength. The area covered by this heavy snow is too large. The other druids asked for help."

The tall Antler Druid nodded and said solemnly, "I know."

"Let's get started. Eagle Eye Walker, go and see if the ogres in Thorntooth Heights can survive the winter, remember not to let them leave the gathering place, these stupid guys will only cause more damage. Master Deadwood, you Take a look at the situation in the northern forest, and it is best to count how many animals can't survive this cold winter, and we must help them when necessary to ensure that their populations can continue to reproduce."

Orders were issued one by one.

The Antler Druid headed at the end looked at the beautiful half-elf Druid next to him, and said slowly: "Your Excellency Nightingale, I hope you can go to the Elf Forest, first of all to visit the Earthwalker and ask about the season this time. Is there any problem with the change. Then go to the door of the earth element and see if the dragon is still sleeping."

The handsome half-elf Druid nodded and said, "Okay. I'll go now."

"Be careful." The Antler Druid headed again and said again: "There is an altar connected to the Earth Elemental Plane, don't disturb the sleeping Earth Spirit, let alone the dragon, their tempers are very bad. "

The half-elf Druid smiled and reached out a hand, and a beautiful nightingale landed on her shoulder. The nightingale combed her feathers with her mouth, and then hovered above her head, making a crisp and beautiful bird song. Voice. Soon only the Antler Druid was left in the hall. He stared into the distance with worried eyes, stood motionless on the balcony, and snow and ice quickly covered his body.

There are migratory birds that freeze to death outside, and many of them freeze to death overnight before they can migrate.

The temperature is getting colder.

A few days ago I could make do with a coat, but now many people have to wear winter clothes. This is only the beginning of winter, and if the weather continues to be so cold, it will be a disaster for races like humans, half-elves, and dwarves. Antler Druid's line of sight passed through the white wind and snow. He saw crops covered by heavy snow. Some villagers with frozen lips were busy in the fields, digging up the ice and snow as much as possible to transport food and vegetables back, wearing thin clothes. The children didn't even dare to go out the door, and gathered around the fire pit in the house to keep warm.

Nature is balanced.

Those beast monsters are part of nature, and so are these human half-elves.
