Chapter 105: There's No Snow Here
There is no snow here. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When he first crossed, he felt cold for the first time in winter, but Ian, who didn't welcome those pure white messengers, was a little surprised and uncomfortable.
It's a pity that he could only lie in the crib at that time, and he couldn't make anything except crying.
Of course, even if he could really speak at that time, not to mention whether it would frighten Elena, a first-time mother, the language barrier could make him lose all possibilities of getting an answer.
It wasn't until he was 6 years old, through the world map in the academy, that Ian thought he knew why.
The changes in the seasons of this world seem to him to be extremely unreasonable because of the fact that the earth has crossed over, but it has its own laws.
Obviously, there is no change in the length of day and night, and it stands to reason that there is no difference in temperature between the four seasons, but this world has a division of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the division of the four seasons is obviously extremely clear and stable.
The reason why there is no snow in winter is because although it is called the Northern Regions, it is not really located at the northern end of the continent.
Strictly speaking, for the whole continent, this is the south in the true sense of the word, the south where even snow falls.
No, if the world is a sphere like the Earth, then in essence, it would be more accurate to say that it is located in the subtropics.
The so-called human sphere is nothing more than a large peninsula, and the northern and eastern regions are bordered by the mainland, and the entire peninsula is separated from the mainland by a huge wall like the Great Wall. The other three sides were mostly surrounded by the blue ocean, and the Holy Island, where the High Church was located, hung in the southwest of the peninsula, blocking the greater and more dangerous demons from the ocean.
Vast swaths of land, including snowy areas, are occupied by demons, and the only land that humans can survive on is this seemingly vast peninsula, but in fact it is a little narrow in terms of the mainland.
As for the cognition of being surrounded by demons, it was something that only appeared after being thrown out of the circle by Fei'er.
The New Life Day of the world is celebrated on January 1 every year. At the end of the year on December 28, people hold evening gatherings until midnight to welcome the new year, and the following day there are various celebrations to celebrate the real new year.
Of course, due to natural disasters, although the Northern Regions did not fall because of this, they did suffer huge losses, so that both the lower and upper districts held this year's New Year festival more frugally than in previous years.
Although there are also nobles who ignore the hardships of the people's livelihood and put on a big banquet. But our Excellency the Grand Duke of Lancevine, who survived in the name of the "Good Serpent", really just held a small private banquet.
At 6:30 p.m., bidding farewell to Elena, Ian, who came to the Grand Duke's mansion, only saw the Grand Duke, Phil, Bard, Gale and a few unknown retainers in the Grand Duke's mansion. There were less than 10 people in total, and it hardly looked like a banquet held by the person in charge of a domain.
And the so-called Lance Wayne family, counting the adopted daughter of Fei'er, there are really only two people, which can almost be said to be even more embarrassing than the Bell family, and they don't even have a serious heir.
"This must be that no one has come yet, right?"
Ian, who was led into the small banquet hall by the attendants, couldn't help but think of this.
He couldn't believe it, even if it was just a private banquet, but it was also a private banquet for the Grand Duke of the Northern Regions, it couldn't be that there were really only a few people.
At this time, several people in the hall obviously noticed his arrival.
Seeing that the attendant brought in a handsome young man with silver hair and black clothes, although the few people in the small banquet hall that Ian had never seen before felt unfamiliar, he was not too surprised.
Most of them smiled and nodded at him, apparently having heard of Ian's existence from the mouth of the Grand Duke and knew that he was Miss Fair's bodyguard.
As close confidants of the Grand Duke of Lancewayne, these men were absolutely loyal to the Grand Duke and would not complain about his adopted daughter. Of course, even if there are real complaints, they will not show them, let alone change their loyalty to the Grand Duke.
"Good boy, you're the last one to arrive!"
As an "old acquaintance", Bard walked directly in front of Ian in a few steps, and broke Ian's previous guess with a single sentence, putting him in an extremely embarrassing situation.
He opened his mouth, never realizing that he was really the last to arrive. Even if his emotional intelligence is extremely low, even if he is extremely wrong with Khan Parkes, but even so, he knows that it is extremely rude to be present at the end as a junior.
"What...... I remember that I arrived on time. ”
"The banquet started at 6:15. Just as Ian was embarrassed, the rough man who admired him very much smiled and put his arms around Ian's neck, winked at him, and whispered the fact that he already knew Ian's other identity: "Boy, although I admire your courage to rush directly into the mouth of the Scourge, it is not a good habit to be late. ”
"Wait, you said the time is 6:15?" Ian said in surprise, "but I got the notification that it was 6:30!"
There's something wrong with that!
"Ugh. Bard was visibly stunned: "Who notified you?"
Ian turned his head to look at the smiling sweat Parks in the field, and the corners of his mouth twitched, only to feel that his teeth were itching terribly.
And Bud, who saw that he didn't speak, thought he had guessed something, directly slapped Ian on the back, and laughed heartily: "Forget it, just get there, the Grand Duke is still very tolerant." Besides, this is just an internal private banquet, they are all their own people, so they don't need to be so restrained. ”
"It's just 15 minutes late, and of course I don't mind. Hearing what Bard said, Khan Parkes smiled more and more calmly, forgave Ian's "faux pas" very generously, and waved his hand to let them come over and take their seats: "Bud, bring Ian over, it's normal for young people to have some stage fright for this kind of scene." ”
At this moment, Ian felt that several people in the scene were smiling kindly at him, and Khan Parkes, who was sitting in the middle, had a more hateful smile.
But the truth tells us that we can't be too complacent. Just when Khan Parkes wanted to tease a few more words, Phil, who seemed to see something, made a proposal: "Dad, then let Ian sit next to me." ”
"Hey, Fei'er, this is not in order. "Khan Paxton didn't feel good.
Fei'er was expressionless as always: "It's just a private banquet, don't follow the rules." ”
"Fei'er, a lady can't just invite a man to sit beside her. Khan Parks lowered his voice.
"Why?"
"Uh......"
"Don't young people have a common language?"
"This ......"
"Then it's decided!"
