MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 123 early snow
Regarding the relationship between the death of the God of Web Weaving and the tide of magic power, Cheese has never been sure. There are many conjectures in his mind, and there are some ways to confirm these conjectures, but none of them can be done on the hanging basket pulled by the giant dragon.
The half-month journey is coming to an end, and the air in the Northland is getting closer and closer to the wanderers who left home. But the cheese had to ask the dragons to land before they officially entered the scope of the Northland in a broad sense. There is no other reason, and it is the most famous sign here.
"It shouldn't start to snow in this season." The biggest feature of the Northland is naturally snow. Although the word "snow accumulation year after year" sounds unbelievable, it is not an empty word in an area with a large number of snow-capped mountains.
The four seasons in the north are not as obvious as the areas where Riverrun and the City of Magic were originally located. If it is a bit exaggerated, a year can only be divided into a snowing season and a non-snowing season.
Of course, the people living here know that it is not as difficult to survive as it sounds. Although the population is relatively thin, this snow-fallen land still raises several large and small countries, including Cheese's first adulthood. A Cangshi kingdom that goes deep into life.
As a mage who has lived in Cangshi for six years, he has a deep understanding of the climate of this land, so he can say that it should not snow, which sounds like a sigh.
However, the fact will not change because of the sigh of the gray robe. When they fell under the clouds, what they saw was indeed a scene covered by light snow. A little snow hung on the needle-like leaves of the evergreens, proving that the snow wasn't too far away, probably starting today.
Snow is a signal that the temperature and the climate have entered a state that affects everything that enters here. No matter how miraculous the wood obtained from the edge of the blank world is, they are always tree species that grow in warmer climates, and it is inevitable that they will not change when the temperature changes drastically.
The erosion of temperature is a force that cannot be stopped by magic. Cheese knows this, so he conservatively chooses to land on the ground and modify the hanging basket to adapt to the weather of the last leg.
Turns out, he was right. The Northland with snowflakes is too unfriendly to the gondola that has experienced high-intensity flying. Without careful inspection, the cracks on the surface of the wooden board are already scary.
These fragile wooden structures were to take them flying above the clouds, if they were scattered and cracked midway, the result would be unimaginable. Fortunately, as long as there is proper reinforcement, they can still reach the destination. This is something that Gray Robe had foreseen when he set off, and he naturally made preparations.
So what was he not prepared for? Looking at Youni and Pingwei who had already put on thick clothes, a trace of imperceptible melancholy flashed in the eyes of the mage, "This snow came too early."
"According to human chronology, it should be less than half of autumn now. It started snowing before the autumnal equinox. The environment here is more exaggerated than I know."
Pinwei is not afraid of the cold, his body is a powerful internal combustion furnace, the smaller snowflakes will be evaporated before they get close to him, and the larger ones will disappear shortly after turning into water droplets.
This caused a faint white steam to float around the half-demon, coupled with the hot air exhaled from his nostrils and mouth, the whole person seemed to be described as "breathing clouds and fog".
"Don't worry too much, it's just abnormal weather."
It's just that the weather is abnormal. Cheese himself felt a little dumbfounded in his heart that he would say such a thing. Perhaps in the era when human civilization can affect the living environment, abnormal weather is a common thing, but don't forget that on this continent, even the elves and dwarves, their civilization level is still at the level of several generations. Come to change the face of the earth to leave traces.
Even if it is magic, it is a plan that has been planned for hundreds of years to make it fly into the sky. In this era, the best meteorologists are not only among noble scholars, but also in the fields. There is little change in human time.
Behind every abnormal thing, there will be a reason, sometimes even a series of entangled cause and effect relationships. The heavy rain before, the early snow now, and the magical battlefield on the road, these abnormalities appearing alone are not enough to worry about, but when they come to the gray robe one after another, things seem to become abnormal.
The magic tide is also related to the weather. When the magic tide is prosperous, the weather is also prone to extremes. Not a single drop of rain fell for more than ten years in a row, or a rain fell for several years, and the land was cracked by a big flood. These legends are not all unfounded.
What's more, even if you don't consider this point, this year will be a terrible year for the Northland. Such an early snow will greatly reduce the grain production, and various projects will inevitably be stopped. Hunger will cause all kinds of problems like fuel, and the war to plunder food will be predictable. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Even the most powerful mage can't make enough food for a whole country to survive the winter. No, even a town can't solve it. The originally planned two-day overhaul was compressed into an afternoon by the nervous cheese. He used magic regardless of the cost to complete the reinforcement and insulation transformation of the hanging basket, even though he felt the long-lost feeling after sitting in the hanging basket. I don't care about the feeling of powerlessness.
The snow is still falling with no sign of stopping or getting bigger in sight. The dragon spread its wings, stirring the trails of the snowflakes, which turned into black shadows in the haze. Out of various considerations, the cheese asked the three dragons to remain under the clouds, but they had no objection to this, and the cold could not really affect the dragons.
The only problem is how to calibrate the flight direction in the blinding snowflakes, heading towards the blue lion instead of somewhere else. Fortunately, the Jinlong sisters asked Cheese about the approximate location of the destination in advance. They took turns pulling the larger basket, and the other passed through the clouds, using the sun to ensure that the course was roughly accurate. Later, Migo also joined this kind of rotation, the price is that when relaying the gondola, the passengers inside will suffer a lot.
For cheese, it's worth it. After going through a period of turbulence without knowing the geometry, the familiar landforms were once again displayed in front of the gray robe mage.
Seen from the sky, this country named Cangshi Kingdom is really not big. Those so-called duchies and earldoms, in the eyes of the giant dragons, may pass through with just a slight flap of their wings. But even in such a small space, people still fight and survive endlessly.
"Where are we going? The valley or the mountain?" The valley city is the city of the Ratman. The fortress under the mountain is the territory of the Frost Guard. Both places have cheese friends, so both serve as landing spots.
"Go down the mountain."
