Sauron was also trapped in Fallen Leaf City, where the snow outside was too thick for the carriage to move.

Because of the cold weather, he customized a warm little padded jacket for Vivien, which would take three days to complete. Outside, there are busy half-elves, druids can still be faintly seen, heavy snow has collapsed some simple huts, and Fallen Leaf City is rescuing ordinary civilians. Because Golia was taking care of the little girl, he set off to look outside the city, and the snow outside was really thicker, and he fell directly into the calf position when he stepped on it.

Outside the city is a patch of farmland, but now it's white.

Men and women can be seen busy in the fields, picking up snowdrifts to bring back the grain and vegetables that are about to be harvested, and if they don't do enough to bring them back, it won't take long for them to rot and they will lose their food source. Winter wheat seemed to be ungrowable, the snow was too thick, and winter wheat used to be planted in October, and many half-elf farmers looked worried. Their talents are not very good, they are just a little more agile than humans, and they are essentially just ordinary people.

A peasant woman was carrying lettuce, cabbage and lettuce are common vegetables in the south, her fingers were pale from the cold, and next to her was a girl who was so cold that she was snotty, because the clothes on her body were relatively thin, and from time to time she shrunk into the palm of her hand. In the distance, a teenage boy was digging a snowdrift, and soon he excitedly dug out a frozen bird from the snowdrift, held it high and shouted, "Look, sister! We had meat to eat in the evening! ”

The heavy snow crushed some of the tree poles, and some of the birds' nests were knocked down directly, and the branches formed ice strips, which looked like drooping crystals.

This is the life of ordinary people.

There were hunters entering the forest in droves, and the experienced ones foresaw the severe test of the cold winter, and began to enter early to hunt some prey, and perhaps with a little luck, they could find some animals that froze to death. Farther away, there are people busy repairing houses, and ordinary people from poor families are building thatched houses. The roof is not very sturdy and can be easily damaged on days of heavy wind and snow. There is the call of birds in the sky, and they must seize the last chance to move, or they will all freeze to death here.

The cold winter, which was more than a month in advance, changed a lot, forcing the animals to hibernate earlier and disrupting people's farming plans.

There was a crackling sound.

Sauron paused as he walked forward, then raised his hand and spread his palm, and a little hail the size of a grain of rice fell.

The noise grew more and more intense, and the peasant woman in the distance shouted as the two children ran towards her. The little boy also fell on the snow. The hailstones were getting bigger and bigger, and the peasant woman couldn't even care about the vegetables she had dug up, so she used her body to protect her two children and ran towards the house in the distance.

A hint of pain came.

Sauron looked up at the sky, the hailstones were getting bigger and bigger, from the size of a soybean to the size of a pebble, someone in front of him was screaming in pain, his figure flew out, grabbed the two children in his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and find a place to hide!" ”

The peasant woman didn't have time to thank her. She staggered to follow, her forehead struck by a hailstone the size of a pebble, and her head was marked with black blue. The village was filled with the sound of scolding, and Sauron put the two children down. Then he frowned and watched the sound of crackling hail outside, and the roof seemed to be banged, and some people were smashed all over their faces, and there was even a trace of blood on their foreheads.

The hail did not last long.

From the size of a grain of rice to the size of a pebble, it only takes ten minutes. The people walked out with some trepidation, looked up at the light in the sky, and then returned to the fields to harvest the crops. Sauron left a packet of jerky for the two young children. Then he followed the road into the forest, the familiar road surface was no longer visible, the snow was covered with a qiē, and many weeds were hidden under the ice and snow. He saw the druid's figure, leaping through the forest.

These druids are annoying, but they're not bad.

There are many druids who have been working in the desert to transform the desert into an oasis from the Arcane Empire, a process that has been going on for thousands of years.

However, the efforts of several generations have only been completed by less than one percent, thousands of kilometers of desert are still covered with yellow sand, and the ancient cities sunk under the quicksand are still exuding energy radiation, and only some plants with particularly tenacious vitality can grow. It's always easy to damage the environment, but it takes countless years to fix it. Sauron's attitude towards the druids is actually complicated, sometimes he wants to kill them, and sometimes he feels that they are great.

Especially in the desert, seeing the oasis established by the druids, the kind of green that represents the traces of life under the yellow sand, is really shocking.

They have a very high status in the eyes of the desert people!

More than once, Sauron saw desert people kneeling on the ground, kissing the ground where the shepherds walked.

………………

The heavy snow has begun to weed out the first batch of the old, weak, sick and disabled.

Only the strongest creatures survived the harsh winter, and the further Sauron went, the more frowning he became, for the road to the Elven Realm was completely covered in snow and ice. The carriage was basically unusable, and they had to walk all the way to Guò to get there. It's impossible to wait until the snow melts, and the weather won't be cold until at least next year. Sauron couldn't afford to wait that long, so they had to brave the snow and wind to get there.

Vivien's small stature can't walk in the snow, she doesn't have that much body, and Sauron will be very distressed.

The only way.

It was he who carried Vivien on his back, and it was a snow and ice path that was more than a hundred kilometers long, and they estimated that it would take a lot of time.

I just don't know if Goliath can afford it, but this little problem with the high-level witch should be fine.

There are a lot of spells that can be used.

By the time Sauron returned, it was already afternoon, Aladdin was standing on the table at the bar and bragging about it, and there were many customers gathered nearby, and from time to time someone laughed and asked him for another drink, and when he saw Sauron, the halfling's face was already a drunken flush. This guy must have been the king of stories before, and it's a shame that he doesn't work as a troubadour, otherwise he would have earned a lot of tips along the way. Many halflings like to brag, and they will not be embarrassed and angry after being exposed, and at most they will argue with their mouths.

Their storytelling skills are still very high, and they are an interesting pastime in their free time, and even the innkeeper listens to them with relish.

Aladdin wasn't exactly bragging, he had more adventures than many people, at least he accurately stated the height, characteristics and habits of the hill giant, and even the habitual movements when attacking, of course, the main purpose was to prove how dexterous he was, how to escape from the hill giant's attack, and then play the big giant around. As for killing the hill giants, don't think about it, those two little daggers really can't stab them to death.

To the buzz of the tavern guests, the tiny Aladdin dances a dance at the long table, a cheerful tap dance that is said to hook up with a cute halfling girl with a baby face. There were people around who couldn't help but clap their hands to follow the rhythm, and the already lively atmosphere suddenly became much higher, and the innkeeper even had the intention of hiring him.

Three days passed quickly.

Sauron had been grasping the memory spell all this time, and Goliath seemed to know that he was learning the spell, and pointed out it intentionally or not. However, this mysterious Northland witch obviously didn't know that Sauron was already a fifth-level wizard, and Sauron didn't want to surprise her too much to cause unnecessary trouble, after all, a fifth-level wizard appeared in just half a month, which was even more terrifying than Vivien's amazing talent, so let's wait until I have the opportunity to talk about it later.

Sauron successfully memorized a two-ring spell [Brute Force].

This spell can temporarily increase his strength by 4 points, and with the ogre bracers, his strength can be stacked to 18 points, which can be regarded as making up for the last shortcomings in his attributes, but unfortunately the time it lasts is only about ten minutes. However, a battle lasted about ten minutes, and after the blessing spell, he had no problem confronting the ogre head-on. The low-level wizard has very few spell slots, and he can only calculate and use them, one stealth spell to save his life, and one brute force spell to fight.

For wizards above the third order, the spell slots they have have only begun to increase significantly.

On the day they departed, the little halfling actually followed, he had a good time in the inn during this time, he was invited to have a drink every day, and Sauron thought he would stay in Fallen Leaf City.

"I'm a foodie."

Aladdin walked forward in the snow with a sad face, and then said in a heartfelt voice: "How can a gourmand stay in one place, I have tasted all the delicious things here, so naturally I want to go to the elves to have a look." ”

Goliath seemed a little unaccustomed.

Noble witches rarely travel on their own, let alone in the ice and snow, and Sauron has the heart to help but can't, carrying a half-cloth bag like a schoolbag, and inside is a little Vivien. The little girl put her little hands around his neck, leaned her little head on Sauron's shoulder, the sound of thin breathing was a little itchy, and from time to time she would kick her little feet, spread out her palms to catch the falling snowflakes, at first she was in good spirits, and then she was a little lazy, because there was a white snow everywhere.

After walking for a while, the Northland Witch finally got a little tired.

She bit her lip, glanced at the others stubbornly, and then blessed herself with a light body technique.

After all, the masters are all relatively delicate, and even if Golia, who is blessed with light steps, only shallow traces when stepping on the snow, it looks even lighter than light work. The flight spell does not last very long, it is not suitable for long-distance travel, and the cold and strong wind in the sky is also a trouble, and it must be combined with a protective spell, otherwise the witch's physique will not be able to bear it.

A howling cold wind blew.

Rows of footprints were left on the snow, and the group gradually entered the forest, and the wind and snow quickly erased the traces they left behind.
