The snow was falling harder and harder, and the biting cold wind kept making a sharp whistling sound like a wolf howling.
When the heavy snow arrives at the end of December, it will be colder than at any other time of the year. This means that the real winter will arrive within three days.
The cold wind blowing on your face is more painful than a knife cut, and you will be shivering from the cold even in the house.
Under the cold wind full of negative energy, no matter whether it is a wooden or stone house, there will be no ability to isolate the cold air; if the fireplace is not carefully taken care of, it will go out inexplicably. And as long as the fireplace goes out, just talking in the house
There are clouds of white mist coming out.
And starting from the end of December to the middle of January - in less than thirty days, there will be a lot of snowfall every day. The thickness of the snowfall in three days can be close to one meter. If you don't pay attention to cleaning,
In just a few days, the heavy snow will seal the cracks in the door.
On days when the snow won't melt at all, how to clean the snow itself is a problem that cannot be ignored.
In the world of Farnes, a large number of people freeze to death in winter every year. The number is far more than any war or major infectious disease outbreak.
Corresponding to the extreme cold in winter, after the end of August, the harvest month, there will be heavy rains for more than ten days. Although not many people will die in the heavy rains, almost all crops will be flooded by the heavy rains.
Death. And heavy rains of this level mean that floods or tsunamis are bound to come in summer. This is why every city's drainage system is so advanced.
Of course, the weather in Farnes World was not so extreme from the beginning.
To be precise, it was after the father of Gaia degenerated into a twilight species that the twice-annual catastrophic moons appeared.
This level of coldness is close to frost-covered hell. Under the severe winter, some kind of creatures will become extinct every year. When it is cold to this level, it is not impossible to have a constitution of more than 20 points. Just moving will cost three times.
Physical strength. And every once in a while, people traveling in heavy snow will have to make a test. If they fail, the cold air full of negative energy will temporarily deduct some physical attributes.
If the physical attribute is reduced to below ten points, a certain amount of environmental damage will be caused while reducing the physical attribute. When the physical attribute is lower than three points, each time the physical attribute is failed and the physical attribute is deducted, it may directly cause instant death.
harm.
A large part of the reason why the White Tower has such a high status is because they rarely freeze to death in the cold winter.
It's not that the wizards have developed some anti-freeze potion. It's because the big barrier of the White Tower will filter out the negative energy in the cold wind, turning this cold winter that even professionals can't stand into an ordinary winter like that of early March.
winter.
However, Orm's pity for the wizards seems to have ended here.
As a large number of cracks appeared on the Great Barrier, the real winter finally entered the White Tower.
Many wizards who were born in the White Tower and will eventually die in the White Tower have increasingly felt the coldness in the air. The cold air rising from the ground can even numb their feet through their boots.
By this time, the meeting held in the third tower had already begun. Continuous explosions, mercenaries suddenly emerging from the crowd, and various other disasters began to subside, and it seemed that the situation had become stable again.
As the snow gets heavier and heavier, the territory of the White Tower becomes calm again.
——Except for one place.
A vigorous and tall old man stood silently in front of Roland and Xiela.
"Claude...Mr."
Roland was silent for a long time, then spoke and greeted in a calm voice: "Long time no see. I hope you have a pleasant stay in Sivir's country."
What appeared in front of Roland was Claude, whom he had killed with his own hands in the past.
However, that is not an image that the living can have.
Claude's body was translucent gold. His pupils turned into bright gold, shining brightly in the night.
And his expression is not always the same kind smile as before. His lips are pursed and curved downward, carving out a stern arc. Two deep grooves are formed on his cheeks. Old Claude's eyes
It is no longer always squinted, but slightly opened, giving people the feeling of an old lion waking up.
Rather than saying that Claude has changed... I think this is the true posture of Claude as a protector.
It is completely different from Claude, who has lost his will to fight and has aged physically and mentally. This is a defender who is full of fighting spirit, in his prime, and exudes a murderous aura like the ancient sword in the tomb.
.
When Roland saw him, it was as if he saw the iron-blooded, cold-blooded executioner who had fought endlessly throughout his life, killed more than a thousand heretics, and whose hands were stained with the blood of his kind.
He couldn't help but feel a pity.
If Roland had met Claude like this at the beginning, then maybe everything would develop in a more interesting direction.
But now...
A complicated look appeared in Roland's eyes.
He realized something sad... about Jupiter IV and Claude.
In order to confirm his thoughts, Roland walked towards Claude in the form of a saint without fear.
"So, what do you want to do? Claude?" Roland showed a gentle smile, but there was no smile in his eyes. "Kill me? Or hand me over?"
"...Long time no see, little Roland."
Claude sighed, and as Roland approached step by step, he gradually raised the cane clenched in his right hand: "I didn't expect that when we meet again, it would be like this..."
Golden and transparent light spit out from the staff sword and formed a slender light pillar. The intense high temperature turned the snow around the light pillar directly into steam.
It was the sword of the Sun Worshiper, but it was more like a spear than a sword.
Not to mention being cut or pierced, even if you get close, you will suffer huge damage.
That was the weapon used by his royal guards when Tyr was still the Sun King, and it was also the prototype of the staff sword used by Claude.
"How is Claudia?"
Golden flames steamed around Claude, and he asked Roland in the same plain voice.
Roland didn't have the slightest fear, as if the two were just chatting: "She has found her brother. Now she is at Ms. Anvilia's place."
"Really? She's at her place, so I'm relieved."
While saying this, Claude thrust the Sun Worshiper's Sword towards Roland with thunderous force.
But Roland only moved slightly to the side and avoided Claude's attack.
"What? Your student is in the hands of the biggest heretic in the world."
"Don't fool me. The biggest heretic in the world is obviously Dragon Hunter Esther. If you were my student, I would ask you to copy "The Hundred Unforgivables" five hundred times."
While chatting with Roland, Claude attacked Roland with a swift and violent attack.
However, the attack method is extremely monotonous.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness Saint Claude..."
Xi La, who stood aside, hesitated for a long time, but then walked forward resolutely.
A golden shield gradually appeared on his arm.
"Please stop. I don't think Roland is evil..."
"——I can't stop."
Claude sighed and interrupted Xila's words.
"I can't stop my hand... I understood before that I might have misunderstood Roland... But I am not in control of my body at all."
While repeating his words again, he raised the Sun Worshiper's Sword in his hand and stabbed into the air with lightning speed.
"Run, Roland."
Claude said softly.
This is what he can do, the last resistance. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
