It has been three years since the long winter began,
Even Storm's End, which had never snowed before, started to snow.
When Margery woke up, she stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the plain white scene outside with surprise.
She had lived in the warm Highgarden since she was a child, and had only been to King's Landing as far north as she could. She had only seen the scene of heavy snow in the sky in paintings and calligraphy.
Just like every child living in the south feels when they grow up and see heavy snow in the north for the first time.
Jumping for joy, excited, like a child seeing candy,
He jumped on the bed and went to pick up Lin En who was still sleeping in.
"Lynn, Linn! Let's go play in the snow outside?"
"Don't go!"
Lin En retracted her head into the quilt, unwilling to pay attention to her.
On a snowy day, it goes better with the quilt!
It’s crazy that I want to go play in the snow at this time!
How could Margery give up? She first got her head into the bed, then tried her best to put her whole body in, hugging Lin and acting coquettishly.
"Please! Please, come with me!" Wu Nong whispered softly, rubbing his temples together. After a while, Lin En's sleepiness was gone, and she reluctantly nodded in agreement.
"Great!"
Margery jumped up all of a sudden, flipping off Linn's quilt along the way, and stood up to run out.
"Put on your clothes!" Lynn shouted from behind.
I threw on some clothes randomly and hurriedly pulled him to the snow below.
I was so excited that I grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into my mouth like a child!
"Is it delicious?" Linn asked sarcastically.
"It's delicious!" Margaery said hard,
He continued to run around wildly, stepping on footprints, making snowmen, and even tried to stuff snow into Lin En's neck without knowing what he was capable of!
Lin En did not hesitate to let her enjoy what it means to be cool!
Margaery trembled and ran away, and soon she came to take revenge with a big snowball in her arms!
After playing wildly with her for a while, Lin En returned indoors with her frozen like a dog in her arms.
"I didn't expect it to snow here!"
Linn sighed.
This year is the third year that the long winter has begun.
One year has passed since the Battle of King's Landing.
All of Westeros is shivering in the snow.
Since the Battle of King's Landing last year, the weather has changed more and more drastically!
Within a few months, everything north of the Sancha River, including the northern border, valleys, and most of the riverlands, was frozen!
It's a real freeze, not the kind where it snows for a few days and then stops.
The wind and snow are raging all day long, and the ground is so hard that it can shake open when struck with an axe. How can anyone live in such a situation?
In desperation, all the people who were still alive struggled south and asked Lin En for help and loyalty.
Linn accepted them and brought them all to the vast river bend and storm area south of the Blackwater River.
He doesn't care about the number of people, the more people the better.
It was just to eat more food, but of course the food would not be given to them for free. Lin En gave them food through work.
Bridge repair, road paving, water conservancy, handicraft manufacturing. Countless well-paying jobs are waiting for them.
These civilians are so grateful that as long as they work, they can get enough food for their family. Where can you find such a good thing!
In this way, last year, throughout the thousands of miles of Mandera Plain, countless roads began to be constructed, countless bridges were erected, and canals were repaired. No corner where food could be grown was wasted.
The newly built roads are of extremely high standard, and all are based on the standards of the Valyrian Avenue.
The Valyrian Way is a wide stone road built when the Valyrian Free Fortress ruled the Essos continent. It is known as one of the seven man-made wonders.
It is an extra-long ribbon made of lava, half a foot above the ground, to facilitate the drainage of rainwater and melting snow. Unlike the mud paths usually called roads in the Seven Kingdoms, the Valyrian Road is large enough to accommodate three carriages.
Ranking forward.
Although four centuries have passed since Valyria's own destruction, these roads remain timeless.
The construction method is actually not that troublesome,
Lin En asked the workers to lay the foundation first, and then transport stones of different sizes with no standard. They piled these stones along the marks drawn in advance.
Then, the dragon Drogon will fly through the sky, breathing dragon flames and melting all these stones into lava.
After they cooled down, they formed a solid, straight avenue!
As for the question of whether the dragon Drogon is willing?
Ever since it was caught from the air by Linn with his bare hands during the Battle of King's Landing, it had no objection.
After this year of construction, great achievements have been made. Not only has the river bend area been transformed, but more importantly, it has fed countless civilians and prevented them from freezing to death in the long winter.
But looking at the heavy snow falling outside the window, Lin En was really worried.
"If the heavy snow falls here, then people north of the Blackwater River, including King's Landing, may start to move south!"
This is by no means alarmist,
As the long winter continues, the snowfall line is also moving southward, and the freeze line is also moving southward.
This is only the third year, and it has started to snow at Storm's End. Then next year at the latest, all areas north of the Blackwater River, including King's Landing, King's Realm, and the West, will become uninhabitable.
If people from these areas continue to move south, the pressure faced by Lin En will increase unprecedentedly.
"Missandei!" Lynn shouted,
"Master!" Missandei's many years of good life have made her even more outstanding. She is not only plump and tall, but also calm and capable. She can always arrange Lin's life and work at all times.
"Call Ronald and Tyrion!"
A year ago, Linn killed Euron and subdued Drogon with his bare hands. He also rescued the captured Snow, Jaime, Messiah and others.
Several people followed him to Storm's End Castle, and saw a completely different scene. Neat and regular farmland, and civilians living happily, which greatly impacted their cognition.
Snow and Tyrion lived here together, taking care of little Lyanna.
Cersei and Euron are both dead, and they have no target for revenge.
Soon after, Sansa and other people from the north came here one after another.
The longer they live in Storm's End and the more they understand about the Kingdom of Storms, the more they feel how narrow-minded they were before.
Here, any child can go to school for free, and anyone with a skill can find a good job.
Fairness is a rule that has been emphasized repeatedly. Even the nobility that has been granted a title is just a title without any privileges.
The belief in the Seven Gods is not popular here. Although there is freedom of belief here, the church has always been hostile to the Kingdom of Storms, so it is naturally impossible to gain any support here.
Many civilians even believe that King Linn is the true god.
This statement has become increasingly clear, and Lin En did not interfere in this matter.
After a while, Linn saw Ronald and Tyrion arriving.
As soon as the two entered the door, Lin En smiled and said:
"Tyrion, I heard that Sansa is pregnant? You are quite capable!"
