She Is Not a Witch Chapter 73: Winter is coming

The Canghong Empire, the northern leaders.

After the extremely cold winter night, this land did not usher in the agreed warm spring and summer, and the wind and snow were still blowing in the mountains and forests. Although it is already July, it is still only ten degrees Celsius in most territories, which is far from warm.

The center of the cold leaf collar, Ice Needle City.

This is the coldest and remote city in the empire. It is located in the north, close to the Sighing Mountains. After crossing the ridges and forests in the north of the cold leaf collar, there is an ocean of ice floating.

In the lord’s castle, a thick candle lit by pine wax is placed on the tabletop, illuminating the wind and snow in the room.

Lord Tucson sits at the top of the long table. He is wearing a thick armor. Under the shiny silver armor is a solid black cotton layer. Although it is inconvenient, it also gives people a mountain of weight.

"This blizzard is expected to last a long time, not just this month, next month, this year, or even next year." There is still a little ice scum on his thick beard, slowly in the candlelight. Melt away.

After hearing this sentence, the ten or so thick-armored knights here also fell into silence, only the heat coming out of their noses from time to time shows that everyone is not so stable in their hearts.

"Winter is coming..."

In this extraordinary world with Mana, the cold and heat will be more obvious and changeable than the previous earth. The cold wave is not just a short-term cooling, but a large-scale cooling that lasts for months or even years. And it wasn't just the first time this happened in the North.

"This time we are going south to buy food again. Fortunately, our territory is not very populated and we need less food." Tucson put his armband on the table and tapped it lightly.

"The southern part of the empire is not stable now, who is willing to buy food?" He asked the knights in his territory.

The work of purchasing food is not easy to do, not to mention how to cross the rugged mountain roads of thousands of miles and pass through the fiefs of many other nobles, and even the money for purchasing food is often inadequate, which is even more challenging. The means.

Han Yeling is not wealthy, and there are not many things produced here, so it can't provide sufficient funds.

Although everyone can live a smooth and orderly life during normal seasons, once this time comes, they will become tense and critical.

After Tucson finished speaking, the knights below fell into thinking, and they continued to analyze the impact of this incident.

They are all vassals of Viscount Tucson. They have villages and small manors or small castles under their names, and they are the lowest nobles in the empire.

If you take this task, the lord will generally not assign other things to him and his family in ten years, and will take care of the younger generations.

However, such a task is by no means an easy task. If it is not completed well, not only will it be necessary to face the dissatisfaction of the lord, but also to meet the complaints and anger of the people. The north is no better than the south of the empire. Under the harsh environment, people's lives will die at any time, and they will not be able to endure the anger in their hearts. Maybe one night, a group of people rushed into your small castle and manor, set fire to you, and added swords to you.

In local history, such incidents have happened several times, and in order to reassure them afterwards, the lord was not able to deal with the troubled people because the land was really short of people and could not withstand the killing.

A dozen knights in thick armor were silent. After a few minutes of thinking, many of them thought that this task was extremely difficult, and if they took it rashly, it would only bring disaster.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lord Tucson slowly tapped his fingers, and his dark blue pupils slowly swept across all the faces present. Most of these people are 40-50 years old, have brown-black beards, and wear different styles. At this moment, some of his eyes were looking at the tabletop, some at the candlelight in the table, and some at their rough palms, lost in thought, no one spoke.

Tucson is also aware of this. This time the situation is different. Now the situation in the empire is unknown. There have been several uprisings in the south. The major nobles have begun to protect themselves wisely, and the prestige of the royal family has dropped drastically, even internally. There was also faintly unstable news. People were panicked for a while, even if he, the lord who stayed in a remote corner, received a lot of messy and unclear news from his relatives.

Some people say that the Duke of Ravens began to deploy troops to build weapons and armors. Others say that the Griffin family in the west began to plan to rebuild the country and prepare to break away from the empire. There are also folk rumors that in the old days of Ansair The crown prince still has blood of descendants alive, and that is the one who should be on the throne. People who were loyal to the crown prince in the past are active again in secret, spreading rumors that are not conducive to the Aikman brothers.

"In order to survive this cold winter, I am going to sell some of the treasures of the past and collect 1,800 extraordinary gold coins. I don't know which knight of the loyal minister is willing to go." Tucson spoke again and said that he was preparing for this time. conditions of.

Hearing these words, these knights finally changed~IndoMTL.com~The eyes were no longer focused on the tabletop and pine wax candles, some people turned their heads to look at Lord Tucson who was heading up.

They began to fall into a new analysis and hesitation.

Finally, three knights raised their hands.

"I would like to help Master Tucson." They then pushed aside the heavy wooden chair and stood up. Amid the sound of armor rubbing, the three of them pressed their arms to their chests and bowed to salute.

"Then there are a few workers." Looking at the three of them, Tucson nodded slowly, then called in a clerical officer, and began to prepare the contract, clerk and other necessary things.

The pine wax candle in the room was still burning, emitting a little black smoke and rosin, but the atmosphere was a lot relaxed at this time, and some knights began to communicate with each other quietly, feeling relieved.

Looking at the appearance of these people, Lord Tucson shook his head slightly, no longer words, but turned his gaze to the gray rock window. The coniferous trees in the mountains were covered by snow, and only the branches of the trees were faintly under the pile of snow. See a little black.

The pure white snow-covered world does not mean beauty in the eyes of the locals. They will not be surprised by the vast falling snow like the southerners of the empire, but will feel a kind of boredom and depression.

Snow on tree branches, snow on roads, snow on haystacks, snow on roofs, snow on fields, snow with cold hands, ice on the ground, fuzzy frost on windows, water Hard surface condensed in the tank.

The cold has penetrated every corner and every gap in life, cutting through your body like a knife, making you painful and awake, soberly aware of your insignificance and powerlessness, the kind of despair and gradual drowning asphyxia.

Faced with the slowly coming winter solstice giant, the local residents could only grasp the only warmth at hand, struggling to meet the test of the cold winter in prayer and extreme frugality.
