Chapter 99 Druid
Nature always moves the whole body.
In previous years, if it was winter, the monsters in the wilderness had insufficient food, they would have attacked other creatures nearby. Now it has snowed more than a month in advance, and the frequency of attacks on others is estimated to be higher. Although many indigenous people do not have enough knowledge, their experience in survival from generation to generation still tells them that this winter may not be too calm. Sauron took Vivian down and just arrived at the bottom of the hotel, he heard a familiar voice.
“Hey hey hey hey!”
"I'm here, below, below."
Aladdin's small figure could not be seen at all, and he could only hear his voice. The hotel owner looked around and then poked his head out and smiled and said to the table: "Hello, halfling. Is there anything I need to serve?"
Aladdin was so angry that he almost wanted to jump onto the table. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Have you seen a man, a woman, and a little girl come to stay? I saw their carriage outside."
Soren twitched his lips, walked down the stairs, and said, "Aladdin. We are here, aren't you going to the Iron Dwarf?"
Aladdin was quite happy to see them, clapped his hands and said, "Thank you, Goddess of Luck, you have not left yet."
“It’s really unlucky.”
"I had already walked a lot yesterday and finally found a sleeping cave. When I woke up after setting up the trap, the heavy snow outside had blocked the hole. I dug it with a shovel for a long time, and when I came out, I realized that the snow had collapsed. Unlucky I was trapped under the snow several meters deep. I originally planned to continue to go to the Iron Dwarf's place, but the snow was too deep. I hit my thigh with one foot, and I had no way to go."
"So I came back along the same route to see if I could go to the Elf Kingdom with you, which is said to be a lot of delicious food there."
Soren glanced at the other person's legs. Sure enough, from the soles of feet to the thighs, there were traces of snow melting even on his waist, which means that the snow outside might be bigger than here. The small half-length walks with a radish and a pit. The expression of the hotel owner gradually became serious. He glanced at Aladdin's height, calculated the other person's height in his mind, and said in a deep voice: "No! This thickness of snow has begun to be sealed."
The other people in the hotel also changed slightly.
Even if the snow is only above Aladdin's knee, it is nearly thirty centimeters thick. Look at the snow in Luoye City is not serious. But if the thickness of the snow layer outside is really so high, it will be a heavy snow that will block the mountain. Fengdong and Kaichun are the sayings here. In the season of Fengdong, wild beasts will start hibernating, and many monsters in the wilderness will also rely on stored food to survive. Generally, hungry monsters will not move frequently until the end of the cold winter.

Inside the tower of the fallen leaves.
A group of druids in strange costumes gathered at a certain level, where there were elves, humans and half-elves. Among them, half-elves had the largest number and the smallest number of humans. However, the leader was a tall elves with deer antlers. More than a dozen druids were sitting around a rectangular table. Some of them had quarreled because of different remarks.
"Silent!"
The tall druid slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "Come one by one, Thorn Walker, you talk first."
Standing up was a pure-blooded elf druid. He looked around with a sharp look and said seriously: "The heavy snow that arrived early this year has proved that we were too weak in the past! This is the punishment of the God of Nature and the Goddess of Ice and Snow on endless destruction! We should have long ago descended the wrath of nature on those stupid humans!"
"The Grosso Plain in the southeast has been severely desertified. The endless cultivation of farmland and environmental damage has caused the land there to lose its vitality. It will not take long. There will be gradually desolate and become part of the desert. In the wilderness forests in the southwest, more than one-third of the trees have been cut down in the past thirty years."
"Nature is roaring!"
"This is its punishment for the whole world. Letting the cold winter arrive early is a sign. If we don't do anything, a more terrible natural disaster will occur in the world in the future. I suggest sending a Thorn Thorn Patrol to let those greedy humans who are stupid and ignorant blinded by immediate interests all feel what the wrath of nature is!"
"I object!" An old-fashioned human druid stood up. He frowned and looked at the other party, and slowly said: "It is not only humans, dwarves, dwarfs, and elves that destroy the environment, no matter which race, they destroy the environment to a certain extent. The world is developing with civilization, and civilization will inevitably conflict with nature. What we need to do is to find a new balance point between civilization and nature, rather than strictly guarding the natural way of the past, and always using violence to solve all problems."
A half-elf druid with a clear and unconventional appearance tapped the table with his fingers and said softly: "There have been many people who are dissatisfied with us recently, especially because of the last attack, the wizards' attitude towards us is very dangerous."
"The power of natural wrath should not be abused. We should first send people to warn them, and if there is no effect, send patrols to expel them. If it is not necessary, I recommend not to launch large-scale wars. We can arrange for apprentices to plant those cut down trees, as their new mission, and in a maximum of ten years, the sowingers can turn it into a new forest."
The Thorn Walker glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "What? Let those humans continue to cut down?"
"Their demand for nature is endless. It takes more than ten years for a tree to grow, but they can cut down thousands of big trees in a day. In the civilization they have developed, I have only seen endless destruction and disasters. Do you want to see the rise of an alchemy city again?"
The leading druid knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "The disaster of the Arcane Empire cannot be repeated! Civilization can never be higher than nature!"
"But we can't always use violence, don't blind your eyes by anger. Thorn Walker!"
“It could be just an accident.”
"Maybe we should have taken action to control the destruction of nature by others. Not only humans, but also dwarfs and dwarves. Recently, many elves have forgotten the way of nature. Maybe we should send people to recall their respect for nature. Seasonal mutations are definitely not a good phenomenon. I will send people to the Dream Forest to ask the Lord Land Walker."
"The problem now is that the sudden winter will cause great disasters. Animals should have stored as much fat as possible for the winter in this month, but heavy snow more than a month ahead of schedule has forced them to hibernate. Monsters in the wilderness have not stored enough food. If they eat up all the food, they will attack other creatures. The animals are the first to be harmed, and then they will start to attack other races. The biological chains in nature will face an imbalance. We must ensure that all species can continue to reproduce after winter."
"As long as you get through this cold winter, the power of nature will rebalance these creatures."
The other druids nodded, and the Thorn Walker took a deep breath and said slowly: "Of course, our strength is probably not able to maintain balance. The coverage of this heavy snow is too large. I suggest seeking help from the other druids."
The tall antler druid nodded and said in a deep voice: "I know."
"You start to act. Hawkeye Walker, you go and observe whether the ogres in the Jingtung Heights can survive the winter. Remember not to let them leave the gathering place. These stupid guys will only cause greater damage. Master Deadwood, you go and take a look at the forest in the north. It is best to count how many animals cannot survive this cold winter. We must help them when necessary to ensure that their tribe can continue to reproduce."
Orders were issued one by one.
Finally, the leading druid looked at the beautiful half-elf druid beside him and said slowly: "Hello Nightingale, I hope you can go to the Elf Forest. First, visit the Earth Walker and ask if there is any problem with the seasonal changes this time. Then go to the Gate of Earth Elements to see if the dragon is still sleeping."
The pretty half-elf druid nodded and said, "Okay. I'll go now."
"Be careful." The leading druid in the antlers once again instructed: "A certain altar connected to the earth element plane there, do not alarm the sleeping earth spirit, and do not alarm the dragon, they have bad tempers."
The half-elf druid smiled, and with a move, a beautiful nightingale fell on her shoulder. The nightingale combed her feathers with her mouth, then hovered over her head, making a crisp and nice bird song. The leading antler druid was soon left in the hall. He stared at the distance with a worried look, standing on the balcony without moving, and ice and snow quickly filled his whole body.
There were migratory birds that were frozen to death outside, and they had not had time to migrate to death overnight.
The temperature became colder and colder.
A few days ago, I could do it with a coat, and now many people have to wear winter clothes. This is just the beginning of winter. If the weather continues to be so cold, it will be a disaster for races such as humans, half-elves, and dwarves. The druid's eyes passed through the white snow and snow. He saw crops covered with snow and snow. The villagers with frozen lips were busy in the fields, digging out the ice and snow as much as possible to transport food and vegetables. The thin-dressed children didn't even dare to go out of the door, gathered next to the fire pit in the house to keep warm.
Nature is balanced.
Those beast monsters are part of nature, and these human half-elves are also part of nature.
