Chapter 121 121. People and things in the wind and snow
The biting wind mixed with the flying snow seemed to sweep across the surrounding sea and the land beyond in just an instant.
The air was suddenly filled with chill.
It is so cold that it can sting your skin. If you stay in such an environment for a long time, you will definitely die of hypothermia.
For the nobles, such a blizzard means they cannot go out hunting, which is a bit troublesome.
For ordinary people, it is tantamount to a disaster.
They will not be able to go out to work or find food. They will have to wait at home and die of cold and hunger after exhausting their stored food.
This is the dilemma that most people in the north will soon face.
However, this is not the dilemma faced by Hanjiao Island.
The white houses made of the magic building material "white ooze" have been built long ago.
They stand neatly on flat ground.
Although Croya is not a city planning major, he has played a lot of games at least, and it is still possible to build houses neatly and leave roads and space.
Perhaps to satisfy a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, every house is almost built the same, and the distance between the houses is exactly the same.
Hanjiao Island does not originally have a large population. Even if all people live together and each household has its own house, there are only more than 130 houses.
It can also be said that it barely formed a small town.
Under the leadership of Samuel and Elena, houses were even built for families who had lost the ability to work, striving to ensure that everyone has a new house to live in.
Some of these things were instructed by Croya, and some were done by Samir spontaneously. This young man who was born as a farm servant seemed to be self-taught in these things, and he quickly won a lot of praise.
If it were another noble lord, he might have to worry about whether the existence of a guy with such prestige would pose a threat to his rule.
But to Croya, he didn't care.
It’s actually a good thing that someone is willing to worry about it like this. Anyway, you can’t escape his grasp.
In short, in order to obtain materials for building a house from Croya, almost everyone worked hard, and there were people staying on the branches of the Undersea Magic Field for a long time.
As long as there are flowers growing, they will be picked immediately.
Maybe it is because doing so greatly speeds up the magic circulation in the branches created by the magic field method, and it absorbs magic faster and faster.
The plucked six-pointed star flowers have been piled up in Croya's warehouse. This is why he gave the magic power in most of the flowers to the energy storage tree to prepare for the coming snowstorm.
It can be seen how many there are.
The large amount of magic flowers naturally allowed people to exchange for clean and tidy homes and necessary supplies, and Croya had already warned them.
Such complete conditions and well arranged.
So, when the blizzard fell from the sky, people had all retreated to their homes.
Prepare to survive the blizzard period.
……
Elena stood in front of the clean and bright window, looking at the howling wind and snow, a look of uneasiness flashed across her face.
The warm air provided by magic blows into the house continuously, and the whole house is as warm as spring, even wearing only a single coat.
It is in stark contrast to the cold and windy weather outside the window.
As a child of the harvest, she could actually feel the changes in the weather around her, but this time she felt nothing at all.
This blizzard appeared suddenly.
Even though Croya, as the lord, had predicted this disaster and left enough food and supplies for them, this situation is still disturbing.
She couldn't help but clasping her hands together and praying on her chest: "Mother Goddess, please shine your light on this island and protect it from disasters."
The prayer is like this. , but she seemed to have forgotten what the statue of the Mother Earth looked like.
When I prayed, I didn’t know whether I was praying to Croya or what I was praying to.
After the routine prayer, she heard heavy footsteps and turned around to look - only to see her father and brother, both of whom had put on thick clothes, like Be ready to go out.
"What are you going to do?" Elena wondered: "Father, brother, is there not enough food at home?"
Because there are three people in their family who can earn "wages", there is a lot of food. Almost the entire storeroom was filled with them.
Logically speaking, there is no need to go out.
Elena’s mother Annette was also nearby with a worried look on her face.
Although she does not have to fight against the waves to go fishing outside, she is still thinking hard about how to take care of the two children and an adult at home.
Even she has gone from a girl who only knew how to cook ordinary food to a middle-aged woman who can now bake bread, pickle salted fish, dry fish, make sauces, etc.
When she saw the food in the storage room that her husband and children had worked hard to buy, she almost had an unreal feeling. She had to look at it several times at night to feel at ease.
Such a beautiful life made her worry about gains and losses.
So, she was very reluctant to see them go out and take risks in such weather - why take risks when there is food at home?
Samir understands the concerns of his sister and mother very well.
He quickly explained aloud: "We have already agreed that we will plow the snow after it comes down.
We also want to see Lord Croya's fields."
The young man's face With a smile on his face, he rubbed his sister's head: "Just stay at home, don't worry about us, it's very safe." This is indeed true.
People are gathering together now, and there are heaters and food in the sturdy houses. Even if something happens, you can find someone to help.
The advantage of being small is that everyone knows everyone, and no one with bad intentions will suddenly break in. There is even... no need to lock the door.
They will be able to handle things with confidence.
All of this is a gift from Master Croya, of course they have to repay it, not to mention that Croya will also give them rewards.
"Ah." Elena immediately said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me!"
She immediately ran back and found the clothes she had bought from Robb not long ago. He quickly put it on and ran out.
"I want to go with you too!"
"I will call my friends, they can also help!"
Samir and his father shook their heads helplessly.
"Okay."
They also know that they can't stop it, and besides, Elena has a good relationship with the new Harvest Sons now, and their power is very important.
“Mother, we are leaving!”
“We are leaving.”
“Be safe on the road.”
The three of them were like this in Annie With great anticipation, I left my warm home and went directly into the raging wind and snow.
Despite the raging wind and snow, there were no people on the road.
There were still figures clearing the snow on the road despite the violent snowstorm, trying to clear a passage.
At the same time, more people are heading in the direction of the magic field.
Samir and his father quickly found a few friends, covered their faces with hats, and said hello: "Are you coming out too?"
"Yes."
The other party also had a smile on his face: "Let's go see the lord's magic field."
"That's just right, let's go together!"
The crowd quickly gathered, in the white Advancing hard through the snow, like a long black dragon, he soon arrived at Croya's magic field.
The Magic Field Grape Vine is still persevering in the face of this wind and snow.
But unlike rain, which can flow through the gaps between branches and leaves, snow can really crush it if it accumulates.
“Come and help!”
Samuel greeted, and people immediately began to help the Magic Field Grape Vine clear the snow. The latter seemed to know that they were helping him, and took the initiative to tilt the vines and leaves to make it easier for people to help them clear the snow.
The action here soon started in full swing.
On the other side, the area planted with fire-type magic plants is a bit miserable.
The grapevines in that area did not make any move to retreat. Golden light flowed inside each vine, and the magic power from the sunflowers was shining on the earth and magic plants below.
It is so obvious under the snow and dim sky, like a standing warrior, not afraid or shrinking from the wind and snow.
But obviously, continuing like this is not the answer.
The chill and icy magic brought by the wind and snow are too much. If the magic field grapevine has enough magic, it may be able to withstand it.
The problem is that the magic power of sunflowers is not endless.
Now that they have lost the sunlight, even they can only languish. How can they still have the energy to provide extra magic power?
For these magic plants living in tropical areas, the current environment and climate are simply a disaster.
There may be some lucky people who can survive the snowstorm and no longer fear such weather, but most of them will die.
Elena and the other three Sons of Harvest shuttled through the fields, spreading their power, hoping to use the power from the Mother Earth to help them survive this disaster.
She seemed to be able to feel the fear and fear of these magic plants. The tears on her face were almost one drop after another, falling on the ground, splashing out with a golden-green halo.
The magic plant also felt her emotions and tried hard to absorb these magic powers to resist the coldness around her.
……
While they are so busy.
In the distance, Croya, who was sitting on the terrace garden, watched the scene coming from the Obsidian King.
A smile appeared on his face, and he turned his head to look at another scene on the side - it was grass growing on a tree trunk as thick as a radish.
They have completely covered the energy storage tree, and the halo they emit is red with a little golden light, like a sun.
Perhaps we can no longer call them "luminous grass".
It’s time to call them sun grass.
