The expanse is all white, and there is no way to go down.
Cheng Qianxun stopped, looked left and right, and really couldn't tell the direction. Do you just sleep outside? There are good beds not to sleep, to sleep outside, not very happy.
After thinking about it, he called out his mana, shook his palm hard, and suddenly a strong wind blew between the heavens and the earth, like a typhoon, sweeping through all the nearby areas. The seeds were blown away by the wind, but after the wind passed, the seeds rained down again, and the castle still did not come to sight.
It seems that there is no way to go back, so you must live directly in a lakeside hut and wait for the seed rain to be a little lighter before leaving.
Sleeping outside in the open, building a campfire, no need to collect hay. The seeds on the ground were almost half a palm's thick, like a thick white carpet. Sit by the fire and watch the seeds fall into the fire from time to time, making a "squeak" sound when burning. It was as if she was the only one left in the whole world, and that feeling of loneliness was very deep, deep.
In the past, her teammates were around, always talking and laughing, and they also cared for her, always letting her sleep a little longer. Really, without her teammates, she wouldn't be alive at all.
A little tired, she lay down on her side with her arms resting on her ears so that she could hear if there was any living activity nearby. The sound of a horse five kilometers away can also be heard through the vibrations of the ground.
Falling asleep in a daze, this is a habit to develop, light sleep, and you can wake up when there is movement. When you calm down, you can even feel the seeds floating on your body and slowly accumulating them.
When I woke up, it should have been the middle of the night, the fire in the campfire was already small, and if I wanted to spend the night, I had to add firewood. But she didn't plan to spend the night, because the seeds were almost gone, only scattered and scattered.
Standing up, literally from the pile of seeds, I could see the way clearly. The snow-white seeds, reflecting every ray of light, are like snow, which is why snowy nights are often bright. Looking at the past from afar, the torches of the Jungle Castle can be seen, only about three or four kilometers away.
When she flew back to the castle, she saw that the elves had not slept, and were preparing all night. It was time to prepare, but after midnight, the air felt colder. If this rate continues, the temperature will reach freezing in a few days. I hope that the temperature will only drop to a state where the creatures can survive, and at most experience the cold of Siberia again. But after an epic ultra-low temperature, I don't know if these creatures who are not yet in the age of steam will be able to survive it.
Suddenly there was a feeling that it would be difficult for her to come here as a savior? Or follow these creatures through the test of life and death, watch this human tragedy, and try to live?
Instead of flying directly into the room, he stopped in the courtyard, where the spirits of Seinhill were also there.
"Haven't slept yet?" She asked, and Omrod hurried over, "The timber yard is already full, is it piled up on the grass?" ”
"Yes, cut more." After speaking, Seinhill continued to discuss with the other lords, because this time it was not the elves of the Light Forest, but also the elves of other regions.
"How many elves are there, can the ruins fit it?" She asked.
"It shouldn't be a big problem." Seenhill held a piece of brown paper: "There are more than forty-five thousand in total, and a lot of material is needed. The elves from each place will bring as much food as they can. So we mainly use wood for heating. ”
One lord said, "But we can't have two months of stock at once." ”
The elves are all relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and most of them usually eat plant roots, and they also have their own seeds, vegetables, melons and fruits. Food is only auxiliary food, and bread and cereal porridge are rarely seen on the table, and the amount is very small, so it is eaten as an after-dinner snack.
Seinhill was also embarrassed: "I am also here, at most half a month's worth of food, it is impossible to collect so much food at once." ”
"And the food is easy to rot, and it can be left for half a month at most." Elleras Road.
Remembering what she had just seen from humans, she looked left and right, "Can you eat the seeds?" ”
"Seeds?" All the elves looked up at the ground, and there were snow-white seeds on the ground that were as thick as their calves.
"It doesn't taste good." One lord explained, "You can eat it, but only humans and orcs will eat it." ”
"As long as you can eat it, I heard that this thing lasts a long time. So much, don't waste it. With that, she jumped into her room, lay down and fell asleep. I don't have time to worry about the elves, and she has to solve her own food and drink.
Forty-five thousand, fortunately, the fertility rate of the elves is extremely low, if they can give birth to like humans, and can feed them, then ten ruins can't be stuffed.
When I got up the next day, I went to the window and looked out, and the seeds in the yard were swept away.
Leap out and fly towards the lake. At present, there is only one place where you can collect food for two months as soon as possible. Fish are easier to catch and have a lot of them. And now there are not many animals in the woods, and you have to think a little about these poor animals. You can't just survive the elves and humans, right?
Looking down, the elves were not only sweeping the seeds in the yard, but also the seeds everywhere, and sure enough, the elves began to collect the seeds. No matter how unpalatable it is, even if it is pig food or dog food, as long as it can be eaten. Now is not the time to pursue a high quality of life, and the next two months must be overcome.
When we got to the lake, there were seeds everywhere, and the seeds had covered the surface of the lake with a thick layer like a thick quilt. From time to time, there will be a little churning, and it is the fish eating.
Maybe it's hard for someone else to fish, but it's different with mana.
First remove some of the seeds from the lake, and then you can see fish popping up from time to time, as long as you stay in the empty space, you can see a big fish catching.
I grabbed a few and felt a little slow. She doesn't have a big appetite, and if she eats one fish in two days, she needs thirty. I also have to prepare ten more in case the cold time is prolonged.
After thinking about it, she was lucky, and formed an enchantment around her mana, and then slowly went to the lake... Mana was like an invisible protective shield that enveloped her in a circle of air.
Under the surface, you can see the fish more clearly. There are a lot of fish in this lake, and most of them swim here. There are too many seeds, and they are thickly covered with a layer on the surface of the lake, and the plush on the seeds becomes more and more soaking when they encounter water. Just like the freezing of the lake in winter, the oxygen in the lake water is reduced, and the fish that have never enjoyed freezing will naturally go to places with bright light and high oxygen content.
He stretched out his hand and poked out of the barrier, easily grabbing a large fish and dragging it into the barrier with a splash. Seeing this big fish of more than ten catties jumping next to her feet, she smiled slightly and continued to catch fish.
In a short time, there were five or six fish, and they should go ashore, or else the fresh fish would stain their clothes. And the air inside is already a little cloudy, and I feel a little tightness in my chest.
After putting the fish on the shore, I continued to catch the fish, going back and forth several times, and finally I had caught forty fish.
Seeing that it was already afternoon and I hadn't eaten lunch yet, I hurriedly got one and processed the fish after I had a full stomach. I didn't bother to scrape the scales, so I went straight to the internal organs and smoked the fish on the fire. These fish have to be stored for two months, and there is no way to preserve the freshness, either salted or air-dried, but there is no salt, and it takes time to dry them, and another method is to smoke and roast them, and remove the water as much as possible this year.
She was busy until late at night, and she returned to the castle with the fish.
Back in the room, she strung the half-baked fish with a string and hung them one by one on the wall.
The door opened, and Alain walked in, immediately covering her nose: "What smell?" ”
"The smell of fish." She continued to hang on the wall: "If I don't want to starve, I can only eat meat." ”
Alain frowned slightly and looked at her hanging fish: "But it can't be put here, it can be put in my wooden house." This room is for the elves to entertain distinguished guests, and it can't be all about the smell of fish corpses. ”
"I don't want to be eaten by beasts or rats." She had thought about this for a long time, and she sneered: "If the tree dies then, the castle may collapse, and what room is there?" ”
"I'll report this to Your Majesty. Or dedicate a room to this! As soon as Alain turned around, she saw Sean Hill standing in the doorway.
"Just let her go, she's right." Thernhill turned around and walked away.
Looking at Seenhill's lonely back, even Alaindale, who was full of grievances, sighed: "Your Majesty has paid a lot for this." The implication is that there is no more mention of the fact that trees will wither.
Knowing that Seanhill may have put in his life's work here, it was he who led his people to open up territory here and re-strengthen this tribe. There are only more than 45,000 elves in total, but there are nearly 10,000 people living here. It can be seen that this is the largest number of all the elven tribes.
"Got it." But she turned around and continued to hang the fish, and when she was done, she said to Aladel, who was about to despise her, "Look at it here, don't let the cat get in." ”
"Where are you going?" Alain covered her nose: "I can't stand the smell." ”
She had already reached the door, turned around, and teased, "Well, I'll stay here and watch this pile of fish carcass." You go to His Majesty and try to comfort him. ”
I see, Alain put down the hand covering her nose and smiled.
Of course, it is up to her to comfort and comfort the elven king who is about to usher in the decline of the dynasty. Without the Tree of Nature, the elves would soon be assimilated by humans, just like humans. It can be said that the demise of the elves is coming.
There weren't a few elves along the way, and almost all of them were busy outside. In order to save the lifeblood of the whole world, Seinhill also sent elves to the vicinity to capture animals and send them to the ruins together.
It can be said that Seanhill's ideas are still very rational and modern, and it can also be imagined that there is more than just one living thing left in this world.
When I walked to a storeroom, I saw the tall, slender figure. Seanhill was standing in front of a portrait of a flower and staring, half a glass of wine in his hand.
"Can you give me a drink?" She walked straight inside.
"You can do whatever you want." Thernhill didn't turn around.
"But I like to watch you pour wine, so it's better to watch it once." She smiled mischiely.
The corners of Seinhill's mouth twitched slightly, and he stepped aside, poured another glass of wine, and handed it over.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." She respectfully tilted her head slightly in thanks and took the wine.
Seinhill turned and continued to look at the painting on the wall, which he had seen for the first time when he came, a portrait of the mistress of the castle. It's a pity that many things can't stand the ravages of time, including this portrait painted with various mineral pigments. A hundred years have passed, and the painting has become more and more mottled, and the paint has weathered and fallen off as powder, revealing more of the gray linen cloth underneath the painting.
"Before you know it, she's been gone for almost five hundred years." Seanhill seemed sad: "I can't even remember what she looks like, it's as vague as this painting." Sometimes it seems to be on Eliras's face, as if there is some shadow of her. Eliras had just been born, and before she could learn to turn over, she was gone, and I wonder if Eliras still remembered the original appearance of the painting. ”
"Well, His Highness Elleras looks more like his mother." She also told the truth, Eliras, who was not stained with a little smoke and dust, if he looked more like his father, it would be a shocking beauty.
It's really not easy for this elf king, who single-handedly pulled up his infant son and educated his son very well. A shrewd and abnormal king, but his son is simply a perfect good man, it can be seen that Seinhill has been working hard to teach his son, advocating truth, goodness and beauty, so that his son tries to think that the world is beautiful, and all the treacherous and snobbish eyes are left to himself.
It's no wonder that Elleras has taken a fancy to Alain and is so opposed. If you usually educate and have a little more rules in this world, Eleras will not be like this, but a noble arrogance, right?
Looking at this painting, she was a little melancholy: "It's a pity that I can't make up this painting." It also proves that the past is in the past, and it is difficult to start all over again. The paintings are like this, what else can't be put down? Everything will fade away, and when it's time to let go, you should let go. ”
"But what about the elves?" Seinhill turned and looked at her with a deep and rare pain: "If the tree is really dead, the elven clan will be finished." ”
It was a great sin to make this beauty sad, and she turned the corners of her eyes to other places, and she didn't dare to look into the other person's eyes. Looking at it further, no matter what request Seenhill made, she had to soften her heart and take a deep breath: "It depends on what you think, in fact, even if the tree dies, the elf race is not finished." It's just the same as the lifespan of human beings, and sometimes a short lifespan is not a bad thing, and you can't forget it, but it's painful to think about it, and forget it all after death. You don't have to suffer for a long time. ”
"Yes!" Seanhill agreed, and it was clear that he had been tormented all along, and that all that had been with him was the kingdom, his son, and his duty. And he has no other happiness, for him, these three things are all he has to live and live.
