Chapter 16: Natural Disasters
"What are you talking about?!!" Sean shouted out the door.
Because it was night, even the old butler, who could walk directly into his room on weekdays, stopped at the door......
"Maester Luke and Knight Dandy have arrived, my lord. Do you want to go down and take a look!" his territory was hit by a natural disaster, and Sean could not sleep until he was busy shouting outside.
"Wait a minute, I'll come down. ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Lucill, who was still standing in the room.
My wooden house was not well soundproofed, and it was late at night, so if you got close, you could hear a little talk, so the other party didn't choose to speak.
Instead, he pointed to himself and then to the location of the window.
It's like saying, I'm going to leave now.
Sean nodded......
After all, the next thing is the matter on his own territory, and the other party is an outsider, so it stands to reason that he should not interfere, but this feeling of leaving when he encounters a situation is somewhat disappointing.
Anyway, the communication between the two of them these days is not bad, they are not friends, but at least they are acquaintances, so it is really chilling to leave like this.
Watching the other party walk near the window, there was a sudden stop......
Sean saw the state of [hesitation!] on the top of the other party's head, and it turned out that she would hesitate too.
Turning back to Sean again, he pulled open the thick fur coat he was wearing, revealing his bewitching limbs and plump body, and tied a small package with a leather strap around her waist, and took out a book from it and placed it on the table.
Sean frowned.
What is this?
The magic book she just talked about?!!
There is nothing written on the cover, just a simple thick page, or the coarsest kind of paper.
Then Lucille looked at Sean again, and then pointed out the window.
This time again, I'm saying: I'm really leaving.
Nodding again.
It's okay, just now the other party said that he would charge, but now he heard that his territory was in trouble, so he gave it directly, and he had a conscience, and he didn't know each other in vain.
Still leaving his room with a state of [hesitation!], the other party can hesitate Sean feels good, at least it shows the friendly relationship between the two...... That favorability doesn't deceive me.
"Your Excellency!" he heard another voice before he heard another voice outside the door.
"It's coming!"
Sean placed the book under the cabinet beside his bed before opening the door.
It's late at night.
Look at the state of the sky.
[Night, Gale, 5:39:40]
It was only five hours before dawn......
"Haven't you rested?" Kalibo glanced sideways at the dozen or so candles on the table, which had obviously been lit for a long time, and it was impossible to light so many candles at once even if he had just gotten up.
"It doesn't matter, tell me about it. ”
Sean avoided talking about it, and walked straight downstairs with Kalibo.
"I don't know, but Master Luke came to me in a hurry and said he wanted to see you, and that there was an avalanche outside the town...... Where exactly is this...... It seems to be ......"
After all, the old butler is old, but he has not learned much knowledge since he was a child, and he has always talked upside down, and Sean rarely discusses other issues with him except for life.
"Let's go find Luke!" stopped the conversation between the two.
Avalanche!
I have only seen this term in the books of the previous life, but in fact, it has been snowing heavily these days, and it is possible that a landslide will occur on the top of the mountain.
Avalanche, can such a natural disaster really happen in your own territory? So that the noise just now was caused by an avalanche.
I thought that the two of them had already arrived in the hall......
Here, Luke and Dan had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Excellency!!"
"Well, tell me about the current situation. "It's still dark, and it's not clear what's going on outside.
"I just received word from the townsfolk that the road leading to Creek Village is completely covered, and I don't know what happened inside!" Luke said busily.
Due to the fact that Lucille has been coming over every day to teach himself magic in recent times, Sean occasionally puts Telemien's map outside.
And this time it's out there......
He opened the map to see where it was.
Telemian generally refers to the name of his entire territory, and the locals say the name of the town, of course, but there are many places around the town, most of which are farms or other wheat farms, breeding farms, etc., named after people, and of course two or three small villages.
Creek Village is a mountain village in the northeast of Telemian, and because it is where the timber is transported, even Sean, who has not long become a lord, remembers the name.
There are more than 200 people in dozens of households, almost all of them are lumberjack families.
"This is the place, my lord. Luke kindly pointed to the location on the map.
Sean didn't speak, quietly waiting for the map to slowly take shape before his eyes.
Because it was night, it was dark even on the simulated map, but with the help of snow and moonlight, you could see a lot of places...... You can see the rooftops of your house and even the light in the dark.
But look further northeast of the town......
It's all gone.
The area was almost gone, covered in snow.
I remember that I used to be able to see the forest and some of the houses, but now it is snowy.
It was all covered in snow and connected to the mountains......
Despite the darkness of the night, Sean could see that there was a large vacancy on one side of the mountains, and that such a large area would still be alive if it collapsed?!!
How can it be so serious!!
Although it is snowing these days, it is not as heavy as before, why is this happening!
"What about the others? Sean asked hurriedly.
That's more than 30 families, and even if many people move to the town in winter, there are still many people in the mountains and forests all year round...... And now, where are the mountains and forests, all of them are not covered with snow.
"I don't know the exact situation yet, I've already sent someone to see it, but most of the townspeople probably know, what are we going to do next?" "Even Danti, who is a knight, doesn't know how to deal with problems when they encounter them.
This is especially true of decision-making.
After all, he is the lord of this region...... And it is precisely at this time that everyone will rely on the lord.
"It's so possible to hide this kind of thing, organize everyone. We will go to the rescue now, but there is little hope, at least find their bodies, and time waits for no one...... Hurry!"
Sean commanded.
