Chapter 876: Winter is coming

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 biting wind and snow were still blowing

between 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 was placed on the

tabletop, illuminating the snow-covered figures in the room.

Lord Tucson sat at the top of the long table. He wore a thick armor. Under the

shiny silver armor was a solid black cotton layer. Although it was

inconvenient, it also gave people a mountain of weight.

"This blizzard is expected to last a long time, not just this month, next

month, this year, or even the next year." There is still a little ice on his

thick beard, which slowly melts away in the candlelight.

After hearing this sentence, the ten or so thick-armored knights present also

fell into silence, only the heat from under their noses from time to time

showed that everyone's hearts were not so stable.

"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.

"I'm going south again to buy food this time. Fortunately, the population in

our territory is not large, and the food needed is less." Tucson put his

armband on the table and gently tapped it.

"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 not sufficient,

which even tests the implements' methods. .

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 nervous 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 the 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 allocate 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

appease them, 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 the faces of the people present. Most

of these people were 40-50 years old, had brown-black beards, and wore

different styles of armor. At this moment, some looked at the table top, some

looked at the candlelight in the table, some looked 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. Several uprisings have erupted in the

south. The nobles have begun to protect themselves, and the prestige of the

royal family has dropped drastically, and even the interior is faint. Stable

news came. 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 regain the country and prepare to be separated from the empire. There

are also folk rumors that the former Prince Ansair still Those who have

descendants and blood are alive, those who should be on the throne, and those

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 the conditions of his preparation this time.

Hearing these words, these knights finally changed ~www.mtlnovel.com~ their

eyes 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'm willing to help Master Tucson." They then pushed away the heavy wooden

chair and stood up. Amidst the sound of armor rubbing, the three of them

pressed their arms to their chests and bowed to salute.

"Then there are a few people." Looking at the three of them, Tucson slowly

nodded, then called in a clerical officer, and began to prepare the contract,

clerk and other necessary things.

The pine wax candle in the room still burned, 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 in a low voice, relieved.

Seeing the appearance of these people, Lord Tucson shook his head slightly, no

longer words, but turned his eyes to the gray rock window. The coniferous

trees in the mountains were covered by white snow, and only a little bit was

vaguely seen under the pile of snow on the branches. black.

The pure white snow-covered world does not mean beauty in the eyes of the

locals. They will not be surprised by such a huge falling snow like the

southerners of the empire, but will feel a kind of boredom and depression.

Snow on the branches, snow on the road, snow on the haystack, snow on the

roof, snow on the field, snow on the cold and frozen hands, ice on the ground,

fuzzy frost on the windows, condensation in the water tank Hard side.

The cold penetrates 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 suffocation that is

gradually overwhelming.

In the face of the slowly coming winter solstice giant, the local residents

can only grasp the only warmth at hand, struggling to meet the test of the

cold winter in prayer and extreme frugality.
