Chapter 100 Back
Sauron was also trapped in Luoye City. The heavy snow outside was too thick and the carriage could not move at all.
Because the weather was cold, he customized a warm little cotton jacket for Vivian, which took three days to complete. There were busy half-elves outside, and the figure of the druid could be vaguely seen. The heavy snow collapsed some simple thatched huts, and the fallen leaves city was rescued by ordinary civilians. Because Goria was taking care of the little girl, he left to take a look outside the city. The snow outside was indeed thicker, and when he stepped on it, it fell directly into the position of his calf.
Outside the city are patches of farmland, but now it is a vast area of white.
You can see men and women busy in the fields, digging up the snow piles to transport the food and vegetables that are about to be harvested. If they are not transported back as soon as possible, they will rot in no time and they will lose their source of food. Winter wheat seems to be unable to grow, and the thickness of the snow layer is too high. In the past, winter wheat is planted in October. Many half-elf farmers seem to be worried. Their talent is not very good, they are just more flexible than humans, and they are essentially just ordinary people.
A farmer was carrying lettuce. Kale and lettuce were common vegetables in the south. Her fingers were pale. A girl next to her was helping. Because her clothes were thin, she shrank from time to time and vented her palms. A little boy in his teenage years old was digging a snowdrift. Soon he excitedly dug out a frozen bird from the snowdrift, held it high and shouted: "Sister, look! We have meat to eat tonight!"
The heavy snow crushed some tree poles, and some bird nests were knocked down directly, and ice strips formed on the branches, looking like hanging crystals.
This is the life of ordinary people.
Hunters entered the forest in groups. With rich experience, they foresaw the severe test of the cold winter and began to go in advance to hunt some prey. Perhaps they were lucky enough to find some frozen animals. Some people were busy repairing their houses, and ordinary people from poor families built thatched houses. The roof was not very strong and could easily be damaged when there were strong winds and snowstorms. There were birds calling in the sky. They had to seize the last chance to move, otherwise they would all freeze to death here.
The cold winter, more than a month ahead, changed a lot, forcing animals to hibernate early and disrupting people's farming plans.
A crackling sound came.
Sauron paused, then raised his hand and spread his palms, and a little bit of hail the size of a grain of rice fell.
The sound became increasingly dense. The peasant woman in the distance heard a shout, and the two children ran towards her. The little boy fell on the snow. The hail fell more and more. The peasant woman didn't care about the vegetables she dug out. She used her body to protect the two children and ran towards the house in the distance.
A slight sense of pain came.
Sauron looked up at the sky. The hail fell from the size of a soybean to the size of a small pebble. There was a cry of pain in front of him. His figure flew out and grabbed the two children in his arms, saying in a deep voice: "Hurry up and find a place to hide!"
The peasant woman didn't have time to thank her. She followed her feet staggered. Her forehead was hit by a piece of hail nearly the size of a pebbles, and there were traces of black green on her head. There were cursing sounds everywhere in the village. Soren put the two children down. Then she frowned and looked at the crackling sound of hail falling to the ground outside. The roof seemed to be knocked and pounding. Some people were smashed to the faces of flowers, and there was even a trace of blood on their foreheads.
Hail didn't last long.
It only took more than ten minutes from the size of rice grains to the size of pebbles. People walked out in fear and looked up at the light in the sky before returning to the fields to harvest crops. Sauron left a pack of jerky for the two young children. Then he entered the forest along the road. The familiar road surface was no longer visible, and heavy snow covered everything, and many weeds were covered under the ice and snow. He saw the figure of the druid and leaped in the forest vigorously.
Although these druids are annoying, they are not bad.
There are many druids who have been struggling in desert areas, trying to transform the desert left over from the Arcane Empire into an oasis, a process that has lasted for thousands of years.
However, the efforts of generations have only been less than one percent completed. Thousands of kilometers of desert are still covered with yellow sand. The ancient cities sunk under the quicksand are still emitting energy radiation. Only some plants with particularly tenacious vitality can grow. It is always easy to destroy the environment, but it takes countless years to repair it. Sauron's attitude towards the druids is actually very complicated. Sometimes he wants to kill them, and sometimes he feels that they are great.
Especially when I saw the oasis built by druids in the desert, the green color under the yellow sand in the sky representing the traces of life is really a shocking soul.
They have a very high status in the eyes of the desert people!
More than once, Sauron saw desert people kneeling on the ground and kissing the ground where the tree grazers walked.
……………………
The heavy snow has begun to eliminate the first batch of elderly, weak, sick and disabled.
Only the strongest creatures can survive in the severe cold winter. The more Sauron goes, the more frowns, the more he frowned, because the road to the Elf Kingdom has been completely covered with ice and snow. The carriage is basically unusable. If you want to pass here, they must walk all the way. It is impossible to wait until the snow melts. Such a cold weather will not last until next year. Sauron cannot afford to delay that long, so they must brave the wind and snow.
Vivian is so small that she can't walk in the snow. She doesn't have that much energy, so Sauron will feel very distressed.
The only way.
It was him carrying Vivian on his way. This was a snow-capped path of more than 100 kilometers, and they probably took a long time.
I just don’t know if Galia can take it, but this little problem with the high-level witch should be fine.
There are many spells that can be used.
It was already afternoon when Sauron returned. Aladdin stood on the table at the bar and bragged. There were many guests around him. From time to time, people laughed and wanted to invite him to have another drink. When he saw Sauron, his half-ling's face was already drunk and rosy. This guy must have been the king of story before. It would be a pity that he did not work as a part-time minstrel, otherwise he would have earned a lot of tips along the way. Many half-lings like to brag, and they would not be angry after being exposed, and at most they would argue with stubbornness.
Their storytelling skills are still very high, and they are interesting entertainment in their spare time, and even the hotel owners listen to it with relish.
Aladdin was not entirely bragging. His adventures were more diverse than many people. At least he accurately stated the height, characteristics and habits of the Hill Giant, and even the habitual movements during attacks. Of course, the main purpose was to prove how agile he was, how to escape from the Hill Giant's attack, and then tricked the big giant around. As for killing the Hill Giant, there was no need to think about it. Those two small daggers were really difficult to stab them to death.
With the cheers of the tavern guests, Aladdin, a small dance on the long table, was a very cheerful clapping and tap dance. It is said that he could hook up with a cute half-ling girl with a baby face. People around him couldn't help but clapping and following the rhythm. The already active atmosphere suddenly became much higher, and the hotel owner even wanted to hire him.
Three days passed quickly.
Soren was trying to remember the spells during this period. Goria seemed to know that he was learning the spells and gave some advice intentionally or unintentionally. However, the mysterious Northland witch obviously didn't know that Soren was already a level 5 wizard, and Soren didn't want to surprise her too much to cause unnecessary trouble. After all, a level 5 wizard appeared in just half a month, which was even more scary than Vivian's amazing talent. Let's talk about it later.
Sauron successfully memorized a second-ring spell [Brute Force].
This spell can temporarily increase his strength by 4 points. Combined with the ogre wrist guards, he can pile up his power to 18 points, which is considered to make up for the final shortcomings in his attributes. Unfortunately, it only lasts for ten minutes. However, a battle is about ten minutes. It is okay for him to fight head-on with the ogre head-on after the blessing spell. There are very few spell positions for low-level wizards, so he can only calculate the use of one stealth technique to save his life and one brute force technique to fight.
Only when wizards above level three or above have magic positions that they have begin to increase significantly.
By the day they set off, the small half-ling actually followed. He had been doing well in the hotel during this period. People invited him to have a drink every day. Soren thought he would stay in Luoye City.
“I’m a foodie.”
Aladdin moved forward in the snow with a frown, then exclaimed: "How can a foodie stay in one place? I have tasted all the delicious food here, so of course I have to go to the elves to see it."
Gloria seemed a little uncomfortable.
The witches with noble status rarely travel on their own, let alone in the snowy environment. Soren was willing to help but couldn't do anything. Behind him, he carried a half cloth bag like a schoolbag, and inside was a small Vivian. The little girl put her white little hands around his neck and leaned her head against Soren's shoulder. The sound of her breathing was a little itchy. From time to time, she would kick her feet and spread her palms to catch the falling snowflakes. At first, she was in good spirits, but she was a little lazy afterwards because there was a white snow everywhere.
After walking for a while, the Northland Witch finally got a little tired.
She bit her lip, looked at the others stubbornly, and then blessed herself with a light body technique.
After all, the mages are relatively delicate. After the blessing of the light body surgery, Goria immediately walked lightly and only had shallow traces on the snow, which seemed to be even lighter than light skills. The flight technique did not last very long and was not suitable for long distances. The cold current and strong wind in the sky was also a problem. It must be used to cooperate with protective spells, otherwise the witch's physique would not be able to withstand it.
The howling cold wind blew by.
Rows of footprints were left on the snow, and the group gradually entered the forest, and the wind and snow quickly wiped away the traces they left behind.
