Chapter 452, the approaching natural disaster
As the days go on, the weather seems to have gotten colder and colder in the past few days.
Squatting in front of the brazier in the Council Hall, Luo Ji held a branch and fiddled with the charcoal in the brazier in an imageless manner.
After pondering for a while, he said to Jie Zichuan and He Liang next to him, "It's almost time, let's put out the fire."
After hearing this, Jie Zichuan quickly brought over the basin of sand that he had prepared in advance.
Cover it directly with sand and extinguish the fire.
Luo Ji put his hand on the sand and felt the temperature.
After letting the heat suffocate for a while, he took the branch and slowly pushed away all the sand covering it and the charcoal underneath.
And there is a layer of mud underneath the brazier.
The layer of mud has been baked for too long and is close to drying out.
Before the mud layer could be broken open, a familiar fragrance came out from the cracks in the mud layer, making Luo Ji's index fingers twitch.
The guards such as He Liang and Jie Zichuan who were standing by could not help but lick their lips.
"Quick, bring the plate."
While he was talking, Luo Ji knocked open the mud layer, and then picked out the black, bowl-sized pieces with a pair of chopsticks.
Not even a minute after it was placed on the plate, Luo Ji couldn't wait to get started.
The moment he took it, the scalding temperature immediately made him gasp for air while he kept changing his hands from left to right, but he felt inexplicably enjoying it.
After breaking it apart with force, the thing that looked like a blackened stone turned out to be unexpectedly soft.
As a touch of orange-yellow attractive fruit flesh caught everyone's eyes, a deadly sweet smell instantly spread to the entire political hall.
Even Lu Yang, who looked like he was working seriously just a moment ago, couldn't help but sniff hard now, and then kept glancing towards Luo Ji.
"Okay, stop pretending, come here quickly, one for each person is just right. You have to eat these roasted sweet potatoes while they are hot. The taste will be worse when they are cold. After you finish eating, get to work quickly."
Although it is still working time, there is nothing wrong with combining work and rest!
As he spoke, Luo Ji took a bite without hesitation and felt the hot and sweet taste in his mouth. It is no exaggeration to say that this roasted sweet potato is definitely his favorite whole grain.
Moreover, it must be grilled over charcoal fire. Only when grilled over charcoal fire is it delicious!
Looking at Luo Ji who was eating happily, other people in the political hall were obviously aroused.
Lu Yang, who gradually became familiar with Luo Ji's character, had long since lost his initial reserve.
Suddenly, along with the sound of breathing, the entire political hall was enveloped by the sweet smell of roasted sweet potatoes.
At the same time, the other end was curled up in a warm bed. This was Hill's seven days living in Mirror City.
Luo Ji arranged a small, but very neat and refreshing room for her.
During these seven days, she slept for seven days.
Hill could swear in the name of the God of Wind and Snow that she had never been so tired before.
However, this warm quilt deprived her of all desires to get out of it.
Until that hungry belly couldn't bear it anymore.
With great difficulty, he stuck out his head from the bed.
The brazier placed in the room has been extinguished for a long time.
Feeling the cold outside the bed, Hill suddenly shrank his neck.
Immediately, she seemed to realize something and gradually frowned.
She feels cold in the south, definitely not because her cold tolerance has weakened, but because the temperature here is dropping significantly!
Hill was shocked when he realized this.
There was no time to stay in bed, even if it was for her own life, she had to get out of this warm bed quickly.
She quickly put on the winter coat that the soldier had given her earlier.
Hill rushed out of his house in two steps. At that moment, the surrounding temperature suddenly became colder.
Hill was further convinced of his suspicions, and then quickly stood on tiptoes and looked towards the northern sky.
The scene that caught her eyes made her whole face change suddenly...
"A natural disaster is coming!"
She originally thought that by migrating to the south, she would be able to avoid the natural disasters that swept through her.
But I never expected that this natural disaster would sweep all the way to the south!
After confirming this, Hill's ice-blue eyes quickly fell on the two soldiers guarding her door.
As a newly surrendered barbarian, Luo Ji did not restrict her movements, but sent two soldiers to follow her.
One of the two soldiers was a barbarian soldier who had surrendered before, and the other was an ordinary soldier.
On the one hand, it was naturally to keep an eye on her, and on the other hand, it was to prevent Hill from causing any trouble due to his language barrier.
Of course, this is just on the surface, there are people from ANBU watching secretly.
At this moment, Hill was heard saying quickly to the two soldiers, "Quick, I want to see him, I want to see His Majesty the Emperor! It's too late if it's later!"
Hill's obviously panicked tone didn't sound like he was joking.
Considering the identity of the other party, the two soldiers exchanged a quick look and finally reported the matter.
At this time, Luo Ji had just finished eating roasted sweet potatoes and was about to start working.
After hearing the guard's report, his expression was stunned for a moment.
After pondering for a while, he finally nodded.
"Take her to the audience hall, I will be there soon."
After finishing speaking, Luo Ji didn't waste much time and neatly put on his animal skin coat, then quickly walked towards the audience hall with his bodyguard.
When he arrived at the audience hall, Hill was already standing there waiting.
The unconcealed anxiety between the other party's brows made him clearly realize that something troublesome might have really happened.
"Tell me, why are you so anxious to see me?"
"The day of disaster is approaching!"
"ha?"
Luo Ji felt confused for a while.
"A day of natural disaster? It doesn't sound like a good day. What is it?"
"According to the prophecy of the high priest of our Winter tribe, the day of natural disaster is the wrath of the God of Wind and Snow. At that time, the entire northern territory will be covered by powerful wind and snow, and countless people will be buried in the wind and snow.
, some weak tribes will even be directly destroyed by this natural disaster..."
After listening to Jie Zichuan's translation and learning the prophecy from Na Hill's mouth, Luo Ji's expression was subtle.
He never believed in such nonsense.
However, the climate change of other world civilizations this year is indeed very different from previous years.
After summer, the temperature cools down very quickly.
Two or three months in advance, light snow began to fall in the sky.
In recent days, not only has the snow not stopped, but it has become heavier and heavier, and the temperature has also plummeted.
Taking into account the changes in the climate of civilizations across the world, combined with Hill's description of the day of natural disaster.
Luo Ji's heart suddenly jumped and he thought of a possibility...
What swept over this was not a day of natural disaster, but an unprecedented snowstorm!!
