Nature always affects the whole body.
In previous years, if it was winter, the monsters in the wilderness would not have enough food, and they would attack other nearby creatures. Now that the snow has fallen more than a month earlier, they are estimated to attack other people more frequently. Although many aborigines do not have enough knowledge, their experience of living for generations still tells them that this winter may not be too peaceful. Sauron led Vivienne down and heard a familiar voice as soon as he got to the bottom of the hotel.
"Hey Hey hey!"
"I'm here, down, I'm down."
Aladdin was so small that he couldn't see him at all, he could only hear his voice. The innkeeper looked around, then poked his head out and said to the table with a smile on his face: "Hello, halfling. What do you need?" Did I serve it?"
Aladdin was so angry that he almost wanted to jump on the table. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Did you see a man, a woman, and a little girl coming to stay? I saw their carriage outside."
The corner of Sauron's mouth twitched. He 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, Lady Luck, you really haven't left yet."
"It's bad luck."
"I walked a lot yesterday, and finally found a cave to sleep in. When I woke up after setting up the trap, the heavy snow outside had blocked the entrance of the cave. I dug for a long time with a small shovel, and when I came out Only then did I realize that the snow had collapsed, and 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 thigh when I stepped down , there is no way to hurry.”
"So I came back the same way to see if I can go to the kingdom of elves with you. It is said that there are also a lot of delicious food there."
Sauron took a look at the opponent's legs, and sure enough, they were soaked from the soles of the feet to the thighs, and even the waist had traces of melting snow, which meant that the snow outside might be bigger than here, and the small half People walk 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 in a deep voice, "No! The snow of this thickness has already begun to seal the winter."
The faces of the other people in the hotel also changed slightly.
Even if the snow is only above Aladdin's knees, the thickness is close to 30 centimeters. Looking at the snow in Fallen Leaf City, it is not serious, but if the snow outside is really so thick, it is directly covered by heavy snow. mountain. Sealing winter and beginning spring are common sayings here. Beasts will start to hibernate in the season of sealing winter, and many monsters in the wilderness will also rely on stored food to survive. Generally, hungry monsters will move frequently after the cold winter is over.
…
Inside the tower of Fallen Leaf City.
A group of druids in strange costumes gathered on a certain floor. There were elves, humans, and half-elves. Among them, the number of half-elves was the largest and the number of humans was the least. However, the leader was a tall elf druid with antlers. Rui. There are more than a dozen druids sitting around a rectangular table, and some of them have already quarreled because of different opinions.
"Be quiet!"
The tall antler druid patted the table and said in a deep voice, "Come one by one, Thornwalker, you go first."
Standing up was a pure-blood elf druid. He looked around with sharp eyes and said seriously: "The heavy snow that came earlier this year has proved that we were too weak in the past! This is the God of Nature and the Goddess of Ice and Snow. Punishment for endless destruction! We are long overdue to bring the wrath of nature upon those foolish humans!"
"The Grosso Plain in the southeast has been severely desertified. The endless reclamation of farmland and destruction of the environment has already caused the land there to lose its vitality. It will not take long before it will gradually become barren and become part of the desert. In the southwest Humans have cut down more than one-third of the trees in the last thirty years."
"Nature is roaring!"
"This is its punishment for the whole world. Letting the cold winter come early is a sign. If we don't do something, there will be even more terrible natural disasters in the world in the future. I suggest sending out the Thorn Thorn Patrol to let those stupid and ignorant Greedy human beings 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 party, and said slowly: "Humans are not the only ones who destroy the environment. Dwarves, dwarves, elves, no matter what 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 sticking to the natural way of the past, always Solve all problems with violence."
A half-elf druid with a beautiful and refined appearance tapped the table with his fingers, and said softly: "Recently, many people have been dissatisfied with us, especially because of the last attack, the wizards' attitude towards us is very dangerous."
"The power of the wrath of nature should not be abused. We should first send people to warn them. If there is no effect, send patrols to expel them. If it is not necessary, I suggest not to start a large-scale war. Those who are We can arrange apprentices to plant the felled trees as their new task, and within ten years at most, the sowers will be able to turn the place into a new forest."
Thornwalker glanced at her, and said in a deep voice, "And then? Let those humans continue to cut down?"
"Their pursuit of nature is endless. It takes more than ten years for a tree to grow, but they can cut down thousands of big trees in one day. In the civilization they have developed, I only see endless Do you want to see the rise of another alchemy city?"
The leading antler druid knocked on the table and said in a deep voice, "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 be blinded by anger. Thornwalker!"
"It could have been just an accident."
"Maybe we should take action to curb the destruction of nature by other people, not only humans, but also dwarves and dwarves. Recently, many elves have forgotten the way of nature. Maybe we should send someone to remind them of the damage to nature. Respect for nature. A sudden change in season is definitely not a good phenomenon, I will send someone to the Dream Forest to ask Your Excellency the Landwalker."
"The problem now is that the sudden onset of winter will lead to great disasters. Animals should have stored as much fat as possible for the winter during this month, but the heavy snow more than a month earlier has forced them to enter hibernation. The monsters in the wilderness did not store enough food. If they ate up the food, they would attack other creatures. Animals were the first to be harmed, and then they would start to attack other races. The biological chain in nature would face a new crisis. out of balance, we have to ensure that all species can continue to reproduce after winter."
"As long as this winter is over, the forces of nature will rebalance these creatures."
The other druids nodded one after another, and Thornwalker also took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Your Majesty Buck, with our strength, we may not be able to maintain the balance. The area covered by this heavy snow is too large. I suggest to The other druids asked for help."
The tall antler druid nodded and said in a deep voice, "I know."
"You start to act. Hawkeye Walker, you go to see if the ogres in the Briartooth Highlands can survive the winter, and remember not to let them leave the gathering place, these stupid guys will only cause more damage. Witherwood Master, you Let’s take a look at the situation in the northern forest, and it’s 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.”
One order after another was issued.
At the end, the antler druid who was the leader 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, you will visit the land walker and ask about the season this time. Is there any problem with the change. Then go to the gate of the earth element to see if the dragon is still sleeping."
The half-elf druid with a handsome face nodded and said, "Okay. I'll go now."
"Be careful." The leader of the antler druid ordered again: "There is an altar connected to the earth elemental plane, don't disturb the sleeping earth spirit, let alone the dragon, they have a bad temper. "
The half-elf druid smiled, stretched out her hand, and a beautiful nightingale landed on her shoulder. The nightingale combed her feathers with her beak, and then circled above her head, making a crisp and pleasant bird song Voice. In the hall, only the leader antler druid was left. He stared into the distance with worried eyes and stood motionless on the balcony. Ice and snow soon covered his whole body.
Migratory birds froze to death outside, and many of them froze to death overnight before they had time to migrate.
The temperature became colder and colder.
A few days ago, a coat could do with it, but now many people have to wear winter clothes. This is just the beginning of winter. If the weather continues to be so cold, it will be a disaster for races like humans, half-elves, and dwarves. The antler druid looked through the white wind and snow. He saw the crops covered by heavy snow, and some villagers whose lips were blue from the cold were busy in the fields, digging up the ice and snow as much as possible to transport food and vegetables back, and their clothes were thin The children did not even dare to go out of the room, and gathered around the fire pit in the house to keep warm.
Nature is in balance.
Those beast monsters were part of nature, and so were these human half-elves.
