Cultivation of the Elf Continent

Chapter 128 Winter is coming

The weather was gloomy, but all the nobles in the border town were in a very good mood. The reason for the ordinary nobles was that today's grain was actually sold at a very good price. The Danube Chamber of Commerce, although in the game with Halson, Frequent defeats, but in the end a big net has been laid. No matter how many losses there are in the past, they will be wiped out by this final victory. The winner is king. During this period, Halson's power has defeated the Danube Chamber of Commerce several times in a row. , it can be said that the momentum is so strong that the Danube Chamber of Commerce has shrunk its power, and it can be said that everyone is happy to no longer compete with Harsen. The gloomy weather finally changed like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of pear trees bloomed, and in mid-October, the border town A light snow has arrived. Winter in the border town this year has come earlier than before. Looking at the flying snowflakes, Harsen felt particularly comfortable, because Harsen grew up in the Imperial Capital. In the Imperial Capital, he could only wait until It only snows in December. The border town is an area with a very special geographical location. The cold ocean currents bring moist and cold air, creating a desert near the ocean. The tall and stretching Warcraft Mountains and the Sea Mountains block the area. The invasion of cold air, so behind the mountains is dense forest. From the coastline, to the valley town, to the border town, this line is a big gap, and the cold air drives straight in. Therefore, the winter in the border town is worse than in other places. Everyone in the border town knows that once it starts snowing in the border town, it will continue to snow, and the heavy snow will continue to fall until the entire border town is isolated, that is, the city is closed due to heavy snow. In this place with underdeveloped transportation, after the city is closed, it is basically This situation of being cut off from the outside world will last for a long time. Even if the ice and snow melt, the muddy road will be impossible to walk on. It is basically the same as the city being closed. This light snow is just a sign, reminding people in the border towns that heavy snow is coming. The ordinary nobles in the border towns hurriedly gathered their troops and prepared to go to other border towns early tomorrow morning to purchase grain. After all, they had bought all their grain reserves to the southern businessman, and the remaining grain was only enough for one month. Without replenishing grain, there was no way they could They will last until the end of winter, but they don't care too much. According to their experience, after this light snow, there will be four or five days before heavy snow begins. There is enough time to purchase food. After all, they have gold coins in hand. , I was still worried about not being able to buy food, and the light snow was flying in the air, but in the middle of the night, a strange figure quietly appeared from the city lord's mansion, with two heads and a fat body, running towards the outside of the city in the darkness. , on the road to other cities, this strange figure stood up, and as soon as the fat body fell to the ground, it became two people. Isn't that the city lord Viscount Elk, and his personal bodyguard Diko? It turned out to be Dico was carrying the fat Viscount Elk on his back. Why did he sneak into the wilderness without sleeping in the middle of the night? Viscount Elk summoned a humanoid creature made of water elements and flew into the air. It turned out to be an elf. The king has the special ability to summon elemental creatures. Elemental creatures are naturally different from elves. Elemental creatures are just creatures composed of pure elements. Without intelligence, it is like a fire-attributed elf king. You can summon a fire elemental creature and the city lord Viscount Elk summoned a water elemental creature. So, it means that the city lord Viscount Elk has actually contracted with a water elemental elf king. I saw the water elemental creature and quickly came towards him. Flying into the sky, interspersed with the flying snowflakes, only water elemental creatures were seen. With a wave of his hand, large amounts of water mist condensed with small snowflakes in the air. The small snowflakes condensed into large snowflakes. The light snow fell from the air and turned into heavy snow. Dico took out his weapon, "Frost Steps", and stuck it on the ground. There was originally a thin layer of snowflakes, but under the influence of the cold air, it quickly condensed into a smooth thin ice and was quickly covered with goose feathers. Quickly, this area has become a forbidden area. As long as a creature walks up, it is destined to fall miserably. It is so miserable. Under the transformation of the city lords Elk Viscount and Dico, all roads leading to the outside world have been sealed. The border town was built into an isolated city. The nobles in the border town were still sleeping. They had no idea that they were already prey in the trap. At dawn, the city lord Viscount Elk and the guard Diko quietly returned to the border town. The mercenaries who got up early were surprised. It was discovered that there was not much snow in the city, but it was covered with heavy snow outside the city, and it was extremely slippery. It was almost impossible to stand and walk. The news was spread to the ears of the nobles who had originally planned to go out to purchase food. Some nobles still did not believe it. I specially led the horses and tried it on the heavy snow. As a result, the horses were so slippery that they could not stand upright. Now these nobles were dumbfounded. Although the snow had stopped, these nobles were cast a shadow. In a few days, There will be continuous heavy snow, and there is no chance to go out. The border town is in panic. There is no food in winter, but many people will die. The shops that originally sold food in the border town have doubled the price, but there are still people buying. Of course, there are also people who are waiting and watching, wanting to wait until the snow outside the city melts a little and go out to buy food. After all, this is just the beginning of the snow. According to past experience, it should melt soon. Halson was also surprised by this sudden arrival. Due to the changes in the situation, Halson had to consume a lot of food every day, whether it was the residents of River Valley Town, brewing wine, opening a restaurant, or providing food to the underground dwarves and goblins in the Gobi, all of which depended on purchasing border towns. Food prices soared overnight today. This is undoubtedly a serious problem for Harson because the food in stock is simply not enough. Compared with the soaring food prices, the operation of these restaurants has no profit at all. Moreover, just It is a huge expense to feed the residents of the territory. In the three-story private room of the Miami bar, Halson, Steve, and Mrs. Mary frowned tightly. The food crisis in the border town was really beyond everyone's expectation. Because, in this situation, food has never been a common thing in the border town. It was forgotten by everyone. After a long silence, Halson spoke first, "Close the cafeteria, bar, hot pot restaurant, and seafood restaurant first." "Is that enough?" "These can't solve the fundamental problem at all. Even if we don't do business, we still have servants to feed, and the surplus food in stock cannot support the entire winter." Mrs. Mary said worriedly, "There are many mercenaries in the border town, and there are no restaurants to supply food. Then it will eventually trigger a riot," Steve said with a worried look.
