Chapter 33 Winter Is Coming
After all, it was difficult for the power of magic to compete with this level of natural disasters. The missing fragments still fell into the forest, smashing densely packed small pits, and many monsters were killed and injured.
Fortunately, the village where the two lived was not affected, and only the slight sound of thumping in the forest could be heard.
After the threat of the meteorite dissipated, the compound magic circle in the direction of D'Aer City gradually disappeared and became a short-term memory of the two of them.
Facing the meteorite, they didn't die, which made the two people who escaped from death feel a little dazed, which is really strange!
Is there only this level of doomsday?
...
The meteorite scattered the clouds, and the higher sky was still gray. The two took the cloaks and the clothes they threw in the corner while washing their bodies.
After the clothes were dried, the corrosive damage from the black rain disappeared.
The two got dressed, walked towards the wooden house where they had been living, and retrieved the supplies that they hadn't had time to take away before.
Taking the last trap totem that he made but didn't take away, Xiang En walked to the entrance of the village.
It turns out that the trap totem standing at the entrance of the village has been standing for more than 12 hours. The totem that has lost its magic power is like a fragile product that has lost its luster. It shatters when touched. He threw it aside and replaced it with a new trap. totem.
After inserting the new trap totem, Xiang En looked at the original vegetable garden at the entrance of the village, where the villagers' bodies were buried. Now that I think about it, the village head and the villagers should know something, knowing that the end is coming, so they take poison and commit suicide in despair, right?
The wind was blowing fiercely, and Xiang En remembered the dead, then raised his head and looked at the sky that was not getting better.
The current calm made him more and more uneasy, but maybe it was just because the scene did not meet his psychological expectations, and he always felt that there were still severe tests waiting for the two of them.
Huhu?
There was a whistling sound coming from the back of his head, Xiang En turned to look, and saw that the distant sky was dyed red by fire, a meteorite smaller than the one just now fell from the sky, and was then attacked by several arcane attacks rising from the direction of Graystone City It was broken.
This is really... there is a tall man standing in front of him!
Shaking his head, Xiang En turned and went back to the village, and then met Andrea who was frowning, and got some bad news.
"The well water has turned black..."
"Well, it's okay, I can solve it."
Xiang En had predicted that the well water would be polluted a long time ago. Fortunately, every household in the village has a water tank, and the water in it should still be clean, allowing them to drink for a while.
Afterwards, things can be left to time to settle, if it cannot be purified naturally, then you can try other purification methods.
For example, distillation, or tinkering with some simple filtration devices to purify water sources, there are more ways than difficulties.
In short, there is no need to worry about the water source, and Xiang En is not even worried about the food problem. A man who can produce and sell himself is so confident, it's just a little more difficult.
Hearing what Xiang En said, Andrea felt relieved, and then remembered the contact just now, and blushed.
Are you blushing with a hammer?
Without further words, Xiang En took Andrea to the alchemist's hut, which was the room with the basement.
Because of the basement in that house, many drainage channels were made, the floor was drier than other houses, and the humidity was not so heavy.
At night, except for the sporadic giant meteorites intercepted by magic, the doomsday seems to be just a not simple rain.
In places where there are no people, there may be meteorites hitting the ground, but in the province of Deir, the city of Deir and Graystone City, which are at the two central points, will intercept the meteorites falling towards the province of Deir Living.
When the planet turned in one direction, there was no big movement in the province of D'Aire at night.
A pot of stew was cooked in the kitchen, and Xiang En and Andrea sat on chairs facing each other, quietly eating the soup made of bread and dried meat in their hands.
Thanks to Xiang En, who is from China, he has the habit of hoarding goods rooted in the soul. During the month of improving his strength, he basically smoked the unfinished prey into jerky. By the way, he also harvested a round of potatoes from the villagers , These foods keep them from starving now.
Chewing the bread that was neither salty nor bland, the slight sweetness made Andrea rejoice that she had met Xiang En again. This kind of thinking about planning for a rainy day is not something that everyone has. Even she raised it after leaving the academy. It has become a bad habit of spending all the money you have.
Xiang En was eating food, staring at the wooden bowl, thinking about how to take refuge and how to keep himself and Andrea alive.
Recalling that vague memory of surfing the Internet, he was thinking about how to build shelters and survive in the apocalypse, and how to do soilless irrigation...
Just thinking of a reference, there is no engineering technology here, but there is alchemy technology, some ideas from previous lives cannot be done in this world, but some ideas can be realized through magic.
After filling his stomach with thinking, Xiang En kept his brows locked the whole time, which made Andrea dare not disturb her rashly.
Using bread as a rag to wipe off the food residue in the bowl and pot, and stuffing it into the stomach, can be regarded as a day.
Leaning back on the chair, Xiang En finally stopped frowning, but his worries were still fermenting.
Seeing him like this, Andrea gave up the idea of finding him to develop a relationship, and even felt a little selfish and useless.
But she was really not very good at thinking about overly complicated issues, so she could only quietly take away the empty bowls on the table that were an eyesore.
After returning, Xiang En had already stood by the window, looked at the sky outside the window, and remained silent.
The cold wind poured into the house, and Andrea couldn't help pinching her hands, walked to Xiang En's side, and stared at his profile in a daze.
"Weather..." Xiang En took a deep breath of the sour-smelling air outside, and said heavily, "The weather is getting colder soon, and it's almost winter, right?"
Yes, winter is coming.
It was the summer of this world when I left D'Aer, and I had just left the academy for two months. When Xiang En found Andrea, it was already autumn.
Xiang En still remembered that the farmers had harvested the wheat ahead of schedule, and soon there was a clean-up operation, followed by two months of traveling and living in the village. After experiencing various events, it was already approaching winter.
Although he doesn't know much about climate change and other issues, Xiang En knows that there must be places that mages can't take care of that will be hit by meteorites, and the chain reaction brought about by the fall of meteorites will definitely affect this winter.
Xiang Enguang shudders when he thinks about what the future will be like, but right now he is even more afraid of the monsters that need to hibernate in the forest. They will continue to hunt and feed themselves to make them fat.
And those animals who drank the polluted water should go crazy, right?
Before that, he was also planning to step on the spot and leave D'Aire Province in the last month of autumn to spend the winter in Andrea's hometown.
After all, the two of them had a fateful friendship, so if they wanted to find Andrea for a soft meal, there should be no problem.
It's a pity that the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes...
Now that they are back in the village, they must seriously think about how to survive this winter.
Winter!
Before winter came, Xiang En felt the temperature drop significantly.
Food is easy to solve, but water can't survive the winter.
In his expectation, the air-leaky wooden house would most likely not be able to withstand this winter. Moreover, he is a southerner, without the constant temperature magic in D'Aer, he would probably be shivering from the cold.
