MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 125 Speaker's House
Latest website: Cheese and Elsa have a lot to say about the water freezing and melting in Dragon's Blood Creek, about how magnificent the waterfall in Riverrun is, about the colors of the flowers in the valley, about the clouds on the meadow Which way to fly. They talked a lot and seemed like they didn't say anything.
In the end, silence is worth a thousand words, and no words are enough to compose a poem. Cheese felt that he was so stupid, what had he been doing for the past six years? How foolish it was not to accept her because of anxiety about the future.
In this warm hut, his mind was as clear as if it had been put into cold water, and he clearly realized that the red hair would never be erased from his heart. For the first time in his life, Cheese really let go of all his thoughts, his body and mind were filled with warmth, he was no longer afraid or confused.
"You are the greatest mage."
When going out at noon the next day, the gray robe kissed Elsa's forehead and whispered praise. In the Northland, such intimate etiquette often only happens between the closest men and women. Elsa's ears were redder than her hair, but she still bypassed the cheese and opened the door.
The daughter of Longji Mountain will never be greedy for warmth, because she herself is a red flower that blooms in this cold winter, and will not fade because of the cold wind, or wither because no one cares about it.
"Let's go, Grandpa Jon should have a lot to ask you. And I guess you haven't reported the news to Gloria. Seeing Migo from the valley city, they will definitely send someone over."
In a few years, the former tavern proprietress has become a character who can skillfully walk between the commander of the legion and the rat lady. This is not because of the relationship between her and the mage, or if only relying on this relationship, she will not be able to really participate in the major affairs of the two city-states, let alone understand their behavior and habits.
"And Jack, the sense of smell of wolves has always been keen, he should also come."
The cheese followed up with a smile, making up for the important people the other party missed. Jack Alexander, who used to be a man, is now a wolf. He is the most powerful and only wolf walker tribe in the Cangshi Kingdom. He is also a solid and reliable friend and ally of Cheese and Elsa.
Over the years, the Alexander tribe has made many contributions to maintaining the stability of the dark side of the kingdom. Relying on immunity to magic and rapid self-healing ability, no wizard or witch dares to question their voice.
"It's hard to say, Mona and Jack's child was born recently. A friend who has been missing for a long time is not necessarily more important than his wife and children." Elsa said half-jokingly, walking side by side with Cheese naturally.
"Speaking of children, is there any news about Lothar? I separated from him in the middle of the journey, maybe he has returned." Speaking of children, Cheese thought of Lothar, who is also an old friend, asking him to be his daughter Helen teacher.
However, compared to Helen who was regarded as a treasure by the witch group and the rat people, Gray Robe was more worried about her father, the Earl of Montenegro who had lost his title. In order to one day be able to tell his daughter about his dead wife's life experience, he personally went to his wife's hometown, and that seemed to be a long time ago.
"Not yet. This sudden snow has blocked our communication with the valley, and winter equipment is still being prepared. Will it continue to fall?" Elsa stretched out her hand, and scattered snowflakes fell on her hand On, quickly melted into water.
"It's very possible according to this trend, but if the weather can clear up for a few days, the road conditions will be better. How is the food situation?" Cheese looked up at the gloomy sky, and did not directly say that this was the beginning of winter.
If winter is announced now, it will inevitably arouse the fear of people around you. People who live here know best how cruel winter is, the harvest of autumn is skipped, and the long winter night will devour far more than usual life.
The most urgent task at the moment is to warn the commander and the countess to speed up the grain harvest, or to sow the special crop that can grow in winter, winter wheat, early.
"You shouldn't ask me, the commander should have prepared a report on various materials. Thanks to your improvement of storage conditions, our situation is much better than before." Crop harvest is not really barren in this era, storage That's the bigger problem.
Rotting, mold, rats, and other factors that deplete stored food make it impossible for people to actually stockpile, which is what makes things worse immediately when a disaster strikes.
When Cheese lived here before, the first thing was to improve the reserve facilities of the Legion, using ice to create a cold storage that could preserve food for a longer period of time.
The fortress of the legion is not big, and the population growth rate here has been slow over the long years. Fortunately, before Cheese left, the commander already had a plan to expand the city wall, which means that the population of the legion finally ushered in a staged growth after many years.
But before that, it was still very close to the meeting hall in the Walled City. The so-called meeting hall is a wooden building in the shape of a long house. The pillars on the front are engraved with the glorious deeds of the legion in the past, as well as the ancient legends that symbolize their origin.
The ancient terror destroyed the land north of Dragon's Ridge Mountain with ice. The displaced people are watching their homes behind Dragon's Ridge Mountain. When the land thaws, their watch will end.
The guards outside the meeting hall would consciously get out of the way when they saw Cheese and Elsa. If they were not on duty, they might come up to say a few words.
These guards are not very old, considering that the legion has a requirement to join the army, they may have been children not long ago. Walking into the meeting hall, there is a picture of Dragon's Ridge Mountain on the high wooden dome, and beside the huge wooden table are the main leaders of the legion and the apprentices and servants of the mage.
"You are here. Actually, you can come again tomorrow. I know you have a lot to say. And you should do something other than talking now. When I was your age, I already had two children. Cough cough !"
The cold is always the first to destroy a person's lungs. Old people in the North generally suffer from coughing, and Commander Jon is no exception. Elsa walked around the long table with concern, and patted the Commander on the back, just like she called Jon, she really regarded the Commander as her grandfather.
"Wind and snow will not wait for anyone, and some things must be prepared as soon as possible. I suggest to start collecting supplies for the winter immediately, this year's winter will be extraordinarily long. Send all people with hunting experience to clean up the carnivores near the walled city. They have nowhere to go, and before the bears and wolves roam the streets, they must strike first." Cheese said the countermeasures he thought of on the road, but he didn't get a warm response.
Commander Jon waved his hand and said that there is no need to worry, "The hunting team set off two days ago, with hunting bows and crossbows. Don't worry, we have lived here for many years, and we still know how to deal with Changdong. Let's say something How about something we don't know? Like the thing with wings you brought back."
