Chapter 22: Before the Snowy Night

In other words, the three barren manors in Ain's hands will remain in that barren state indefinitely—even the gods on high cannot determine when those thin lines of fate will return to normal. Maybe tomorrow, maybe how many years from now?

"But once I've done a few things, I'm interested in going to that manor area. I don't know who is so generous to arrange such a large manor area with this kind of magic ritual that is not too weak. Rutherford's words made Ain's face look a little better. The mage also knew that the Prophecy Master had come to Winterfell City with his own mission, and it was impossible for him to come here just because he was interested in the impact of magical energy.

……

Although it didn't solve the problem that Ain wanted to solve now, the mage's trip to the City Lord's Mansion was quite rewarding. Because he can basically use his memory and that bookshelf to figure out the reason why something happened in Winterfell, the Northwest Province, and even the Kingdom of Rysel after the Winter Year.

He had been wondering why there were those legendary nPcs who were unable to predict the destruction of Winterfell. It turned out that the problem was still the change caused by the impact of the magic energy, not that they had no way to foresee and stop it.

Coming out of the town hall, Al Ain turned straight to the temple area. Because of the occasional luck, the Rysel gold coins that Ain now has in his hand have been able to go to the temple of Evangela to pay off his debt.

Although the Avadra Temple is only loaned out with the aura of a changer, it is not possible to exchange it for the secular currency of various countries. However, the Church of the Changemakers is happy to change the repayment of others - that is, the Temple of Evendra can accept the repayment of the Resel Gold Coins, but only the percentage of the Changelor's crown that falls on the same day.

By the time Ain came out of Evangela's temple again, there were only a few gold coins left in his purse, and a fraction of the dozens of coppers that had been forgiven by the priest on the grounds that "the changers are just and favor the lucky."

"Since I'm lucky, why don't I get all my debts forgiven......" Ain sneered, because the nearly a thousand Rysel gold coins were not a small amount, enough for Ain to buy an alchemy table and some alchemy devices.

With the alchemy table, whether it is gem enchantment or other crafting that involves enchantment, Ain can save a lot of energy.

……

In the past two days, Ain hadn't done the release of those spells, and all the mage needed now was to convert his spell slots into magic energy in the magic energy pool as much as possible and store them.

Although yesterday at the town hall, no one broke it. However, Rutherford, the master of prophecy, broke it several times, and all of those present, whether it was Ain, Brady, or Vinson, already knew that a mutation planned by someone was likely to happen soon.

Originally, when playing in the previous life, Ain and his friends discussed possible conspiracy theories for the snow disaster, but they always felt that the whole set of reasoning and explanations made some of them unreasonable.

Now it seems that Drew's bone shelves don't know where to know the secrets of the underground of Far Winter City, and then this magic energy impact can be regarded as giving those bone shelves a chance.

As for this snow disaster, it is most likely due to the influence of magic energy, and it may really be an accidental factor. However, Drew's bones should be very aware of the devastating blow of the magic energy impact to the magic net. Although Rutherford didn't say how much of the net had been damaged yesterday, it was clear that most of the area of the Northwest Fortress was also shrouded in this area.

No longer training in spellcasting, Ain decided to spend his time in the library of the Spellcaster Alliance.

One more day, and it was the thirtieth day of the midwinter month. The snow disaster will come in the evening. In the evening, there will be a customary spring feast at the town hall - although Winterfell is in a bitterly cold place, it will slowly become warmer after the midwinter moon enters the ice melting moon.

Originally, he usually rushed home from the caster's club after the sunlight disappeared, but Aine had received an invitation from Brady the day before, and it was difficult to get back before the banquet ended at midnight. So before going out, the mage first called his old butler and gave Malinton a few words to deal with the blizzard at night.

"Malrington ......"

The old butler bowed slightly and saluted the mage: "Master." ”

The mage frowned and said, "I've spoken it several times, and it's okay to call me master." You're a little old, and it's physically tiring to bow like this...... I'll go out right away, and I won't necessarily come in the evening. There will be a lot of snow tonight, and you will have to shop for some necessities during the day, especially when it is snowing heavily. I could buy as much as I could, and the money bag containing the money I had earned during this time was already on the table in my room. …… As for the evening, Marrington, you light the fireplace and go to rest, it should be very cold at night, and don't save this charcoal money. ”

"Yes, sir." The temperature in Far Winter is pleasant, and Malinton knows it. But since his own mage master has said so, then he will do it.

After checking the spell-casting materials on his body a little, Ain put on the dress of a nobleman for a banquet on top of his mage outfit.

In fact, if the nobles have some other identities at the same time, they can also attend the aristocratic banquet by wearing clothes or armor that can represent their status. It's just that Ain's outfit, although it is very practical, is really a little shabby, but in order to carry the spell casting materials, Ain can't just wear a dress. So many sets of pieces can be regarded as for the honor and decency of the Lannister family now.

……

As night fell, Ain also packed up, put a few books back on the shelves, and slowly walked to the town hall alone.

The sky was a bit hazy, and it had been like this for days. I don't know if it was Ain who knew that tonight was the day of the snow disaster, and after habitually looking up at the sky, the mage felt that oppressive feeling.

The mage shook his head, shook off the discomfort in his mind, and walked quickly to the town hall.
