Chapter 31: Heavy snow and a good harvest! (Please give me a monthly vote!)

(The gap has widened again. Oh, let’s ask for the October guaranteed ***. This is the first update.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time slowly transitions to December.

The Southern Plains ushered in the first snow of the year, and the snowflakes fell in this primitive and beautiful world, covering everything with a layer of silver.

The temperature in the entire southern plain can be said to have dropped suddenly.

In such a world without greenhouse effect, winter is much colder than the earth.

Even areas with warmer climates like the southern plains may reach more than 10 degrees throughout the winter. It can be said that except for some areas close to the sea and in the warm current zone, other places will become extremely cold throughout the winter. Most creatures rarely move since December, and smart creatures, including the orcs with strong constitutions, will hide in caves and wait for the cold winter to pass.

For many creatures, winter also means the arrival of death.

winter.

It is hard for people living in the 21st century with great productivity development to imagine the difficulties.

……………………

Murphy's plan to start a trade with the half-elves failed.

For these half-elves who do not need silver coins, he really doesn't know what else to provide to them in his territory. In this primitive world, there are many self-sufficient and self-sufficient races that do not register cash coins, which is quite painful.

Although he could not provide what the half-elves needed, the diplomat Tobayes sent someone to bring back a message that made Murphy feel a little amused. After expressing that he was not very interested in the supplies provided by Athens, the half-elves priests responsible for contacting him suddenly expressed that His Highness was very interested in their lord, the Governor of Athens, His Excellency Murphy, if he was willing to come in person.

His Highness, the half-elves, said that he could first provide a batch of food in the city of Athens free of charge.

this.

What does this mean?

Murphy was immediately confused when he heard the news.

The high priest sitting beside him looked at him with a smile.

Although half-elves are mixed races between elves and humans, they continue the tradition of the elves in terms of their living habits, social composition, etc., which means that they are still matriarchal society. Female half-elves have a high social status, and only women can serve as priests. As for male half-elves, they are responsible for planting crops and working in the fields. At most, they pick up bows and arrows as warriors or some of their talents can become druids.

This is not a tortuous reason. The real problem is that female half-elves can better inherit the bloodline power from the elves.

They are much stronger than male elves in all aspects of elemental sensing ability and so on.

Ability determines status!

That's all.

Under the high priest's gaze, Murphy refused the matter righteously.

It means that the city of Athens does not need alms, and he has a complete way to buy food from other places.

"Is the half-elves the master of the Moon Goddess High Priest or the servant of the Goddess of Life? When did a Queen appear? Could it be that he was influenced by humans?" The so-called Elf Queen is actually just the name of other races. Within the Elf Clan, the existence called the Elf Queen by humans is essentially the High Priest who is the Goddess of Life.

Of course, the high priest is the highest ruler in the elves society besides the ancient elves.

Since the Second Age, the ancient elves have been sleeping for a long time. In fact, only a few of the high elves that have not returned to the Tree of Life are left, and the high priest of the Goddess of Life is also selected from the high elves here. In addition, it is necessary to explain it slightly in a short story. The term of the elf queen is 1,000 years.

The snow fell for three consecutive days.

The construction progress in the Athenian territory was completely stopped, and the cold weather made the gang members unable to work at all. The temperature close to sub-zero made the land freezing hard, so they could only hide by the bonfire to keep warm and wait for the cold winter to pass. What is still maintained in the territory is the kiln factory, and the kiln workers are speeding up the time to burn and stock up on a batch of bricks to prepare for construction after the spring.

It was nine o'clock this morning.

In other words, just a few minutes after the snow stopped, Murphy received a very bad news.

After three days of heavy snow, several houses collapsed. At present, more than 40 casualties have been counted. Some of the people buried in the heavy snow are waiting for rescue. The soldiers garrisoned are driven over under the leadership of General Leodale. Fortunately, the casualties are mainly concentrated in the three newly established towns, and such a thing has not happened in Athens.

"Let the citizens come out and clean up the snow on the roof immediately!" The snow outside the house was 15 centimeters thick, and a large piece of it sank as soon as the person stepped on it.

When Murphy walked out of the Governor's Mansion, it was already white outside.

When the sun shines on the snow covering the ground, the refracted glory is shaking, slightly dazzling.

The snow on the roof was nearly twenty centimeters, almost a thick layer.

The maids and guards in the Governor's palace walked out in warm clothes. They took all kinds of tools and started to clean up the snow under the instructions of the butler. Only the little girl, Bell, was very playful. Although her little face was red and she was almost snot, she still happily played with the snow-stacked snowman that had been cleaned from the roof.

clang!

"Well, it hurts!" the little girl screamed in pain as she touched the shell of her forehead.

Murphy, who was about to inspect the snow-hit area, raised his hand and gave the little girl a brain.

After Murphy knocked on her little head, the girl Bell became much more honest. She immediately picked up a broom and lowered her head and pretended to sweep the snow. However, when Murphy walked away, she couldn't help but secretly roll out a few big snowballs and put them aside.

The citizens of Athens have already come out.

Under the command of the newly promoted genius general Jerry Rivad, they began to clean up the snow in batches and clear the roads one by one.

It took three full days of heavy snow, and almost all the roads built outside were covered.

Riding a horse is definitely not possible.

Murphy could only take the attendants of the General Guard to walk towards several other towns according to the location of the road in memory.

……………………

When Murphy finished handling these things.

It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. Because the climate was cold, the snow melted very slowly. This era does not have so many heating devices like the earth. If you have to wait for it to melt completely, it may take a long time. If it continues to snow later, you may even have to wait until the spring next year.

The houses in the town are basically made of wooden structures, and this heavy snow took too long.

More than a dozen houses were crushed.

The final count was close to more than 160 casualties.

Many people suddenly collapsed their houses in the heavy snow, and directly injured them and pressed them inside. At that time, it was still snowing outside, and no one else knew about it.

In the end, these people all froze to death in the wind and snow.

After the snow stopped, General Leodale arrived quickly, so all the injured were rescued later.

In this primitive and poor era, it is normal to freeze a group of people to death in winter. If you encounter a snow disaster like this, you may die more than in Murphy’s territory!

Because the serfs and the lower class of poor people in other territories all live in thatched houses.

……………………

When Murphy returned to Athens, the road had been cleared out, and citizens were sweeping out the snow and pouring it into the Nidolia River.

Many people gathered in the central square in front of the temple.

Even Helen, who has always been in the Temple of Love, has come out and is helping the high priest treat the sick. A heavy snow has caused many people to get sick, which seems a bit like a flu in previous lives. Some people are even having a fever, and the high priest is leading other priests to treat them.

There is basically nothing Murphy has to do here.

So he took the agricultural experts to the farmland.

The snow was falling too much.

Many crops were completely buried in the snow, without thinking about it, and it can basically be said that they were all crushed to death and frozen to death.

The only thing that is thankful is that winter wheat will not reveal new sprouts until spring next year, and this heavy snow has not affected them.

Standing on the white earth.

Murphy looked out into the north of the Karazan Mountains, and looked at the trees wrapped in silver and couldn't help but think silently.

This heavy snowfall is probably due to the human city-state and the orc tribe, right?

But this heavy snow means too many things.

Murphy stared at this silver-covered world and couldn't help but speak slowly, "Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest!"

The climate in this world is generally cold, so crops have strong cold resistance. This level of heavy snow is a big problem for smart creatures, but for winter wheat, which is still dormant, it is a sign of a bumper harvest next year!

If next year is a good year, then...

When Murphy thought of this, he couldn't help but look at the location of the Canyon Pass. If that was true, after harvesting in June next year, those orcs would probably not be at peace.

……………………

With heavy snow and natural phosphorus fertilizer mined on the island, a great harvest in the territory next year is probably destined.

I hope that by then next year, I will have everything ready.

Thinking of this, Murphy turned around and walked towards the Governor's Mansion with the General Guard.

The food in stock is already in short supply.

According to the current consumption, the reserves in the treasury can only be supported until the end of February next year at most.
Chapter completed!
