Chapter 693 News (Part 1)
The main world. Snow City
The second largest city in the Kingdom of Shavigo, although it has reached spring at this time, the winter snow has not yet been completely melted in this place.
On the ground, the white snow was like a coat, draped firmly and for a long time on the earth. It was very beautiful. Except for the local people, others could not bear the cold weather caused by it.
Because the ice and snow are falling all year round, the air here is particularly fresh. Even though the coldest time has passed, there is still an extremely cold temperature in the air at this time, as if it can freeze people's limbs and blood.
Under the snow on the ground, there is dark soil. Under the frozen snow, this land is so stiff that even if you dig it gently with a shovel, only a little soil will loosen.
Perhaps because one place of water and soil raises another place of life, even in such a cold climate, you can still see cute little animals on the road on the outskirts of the city.
They are either thick in fur or are naturally fond of cold. In short, even in the snow and snow, there is still a lot of life here.
Compared with these animals, humans travel much less frequently.
In winter, especially around the New Year, people in the snow usually do not come out to work, and will not travel easily.
This season of winter is a rare long holiday for them.
Early on, they would finish work and go home, either waiting for skiing competitions, or waiting for the New Year.
The harvest of a year has been in stock, and the savings of a year are enough for the whole family to live a winter.
In winter, most of them would sit around home, go to a hotel to have a sip, or call friends to go out for a trip.
Even if you come out, you will wear it very thickly. After walking for a while, you will not help but put your hands beside your mouth, whirl up a few times, and warm it up.
In such cold weather, the sea outside the snow is still rolling with waves and never freezing.
If it were in previous years, this was the best season for fishing. In the sea of ice and snow, the fish tasted the most delicious. Even the nobles of other kingdoms would pay a lot of money to purchase.
At the beginning of this year, the city of Xuedu was always shrouded in a strange atmosphere. Not to mention going to the sea to fish, even the surrounding areas of the sea were surrounded by the army.
There is an atmosphere of sorrow and pain everywhere in the city, making people unable to feel the joy of the New Year at all.
Before the New Year, there should be a ski competition, which is a grand event that is held almost every year. Except for the time of war or during magic disasters, ski competitions are postponed, and at other times, the competitions are always once a year.
But last year, the tsunami occurred. Although the snow itself did not suffer much disaster, all the outside of the city was destroyed, and tens of thousands of people were said to have died.
This disaster made the Queen seriously ill, and even the skiing competition at the end of the year was not held as scheduled.
For a time, there were a lot of discussion among the people, and the topic of discussion became more and more bold and outrageous.
Some say that there was a dispute over the crown prince in the royal family, and the war between the princess and the prince made the queen physically and mentally exhausted. Therefore, the queen had no intention of paying attention to this ski competition.
Of course, the most supporters said that the tsunami before the Ski Festival was that of the tsunami. Because of a sudden tsunami, more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians died. So far, the affected areas are undergoing subsequent assistance and reconstruction work, but the reconstruction address has been moved to a new place.
All the seaside towns before were abandoned.
It is understandable that the Queen is seriously ill for this and stops skiing.
This statement is the most supported.
But the problem also comes with it. This skiing competition is not only a competition, but also has religious significance.
This is a competition event established by the God of Ice and Snow, and every competition is to praise God.
Even during the magic disaster, small-scale skiing competitions were announced, but a tsunami caused the cancellation of the competitions for two consecutive years. Is there any other reason hidden in this?
Various statements were circulating in the Kingdom of Shavigo for a while. It was not until the royal family became furious that all the speculations about the royal family gradually disappeared.
But the questions in people's hearts are still there, and as the atmosphere in Xuedu becomes more and more strange, this kind of doubt becomes more and more intense.
What happened to their country, their queen?
"Father, don't be busy anymore. I said, I will only stay for one day this time, and then I will go back." The town, the small town where Romon once lived, was much calmer than other places.
Because it is not the center of the city, this tense atmosphere is almost equivalent to dissipating here.
In Uncle Harvey's hotel, the owner's daughter Josh was holding his father's arm, telling him not to be so tired.
Uncle Harvey still looked like he was smiling in everything. In front of him, there was a chopping board, and it was a killed sea fish. This was finally achieved.
My daughter likes to eat it. Every time she gets this kind of sea fish, Uncle Harvey is reluctant to sell it and insists on staying it for her daughter to come back and taste it.
"Daughter, you finally come back. My father should cook you a dish you like. You should sit aside obediently, let's talk, and the fish will be done in a while." Uncle Harvey said with a smile.
Seeing that his father was so persistent, Josh had to nod and said, "Okay, I'll talk to my father here."
Sitting on the chair beside him: "By the way, where is my mother? I haven't seen her since just now. Has she gone out?"
"Yes, there was less seasoning at home, so she went to the grocery store on the street to buy it." Uncle Harvey said, "Tell me, how are you doing at the Magic Union?"
"It's very good. I'm already a third-level mage now and will not be bullied. Don't worry, my father!" Josh pulled his clothes and replied with a smile: "Originally, I could graduate, but I want to graduate with another level."
Uncle Harvey said with relief while making fish: "That's good, that's good."
"However, in the past year, the atmosphere in the union has been a bit strange." Qiao Xi suddenly looked strange and seemed to remember something, saying, "I heard that it was the royal family and the Radiant Lord Church, which had a great conflict. As the magic union of the other force, it was very difficult. He came forward to mediate several times, but in the end, he returned without success. There was actually a big reason for not holding a ski competition last year."
"Oh? What's the reason?" Uncle Harvey paused and asked after hearing this.
"The situation is now very chaotic because of a disaster." Josh, a member of the magic union of a third party, naturally obtained some information.
There were no outsiders here, so she explained: "Just two years ago, on the eve of Ski Festival, wasn't there a sea beast hurting people?"
"Yes, I know this." Uncle Harvey had already prepared the fish and placed it on a plate. When his daughter mentioned this again, he nodded and said that he still remembered it.
"After this incident, the royal family sent a large number of troops to wipe out the sea beasts. I was injured once at that time, but fortunately... After all, the royal family sent many people to go there, but they all returned in vain. The last time, they also sent Brother Romon to go with them. As a result, these people were said to have disappeared in this disaster..." When talking about this matter again, Josh was still a little sad.
It was the first time she had approached a strange man, but such a person disappeared in such a disaster and had no news.
Holding the sourness in his heart, Josh continued, "After that, a big tsunami happened. You know this, right?"
"Well, yes, this tsunami killed tens of thousands of people, and every snow was the people, and they would never forget it." Uncle Harvey sighed and said.
The disaster at the end of the previous year can be said to be the biggest disaster that Xuedu encountered in a century, with the death toll exceeding 30,000.
Even during the time of the devil, because it is located in a cold place, the devils do not come to attack many times.
But this time, there was a sudden tsunami, and countless people were killed or injured nearby.
When Joshi mentioned this, he looked sarcastic. After a while, he continued: "In fact, the reason why the royal family has seemed a little abnormal over the past year is not only the civilians who died in the tsunami, but also because..."
She said this, stood up and looked at if there was anyone outside. She sat back until she was sure that no one eavesdropped, saying, "It was because the little prince was also killed in this tsunami. At the same time, there were a large number of senior royal knights and mages. The royal family is now working hard to restore their vitality and has no time to hold any competition."
"What? The little prince died too?" Even civilians like Uncle Harvey were surprised when they heard this matter that was concealed by the royal family. "But if the little prince really lost in the tsunami, why wouldn't the royal family announce the news?"
There is no need to hide news from such death.
"This matter has many doubts and many things involved. It seems to be related to the Church of the Glory. I heard that the occurrence of this tsunami is also unrelated to them. Therefore, the Queen was very angry and has been thoroughly investigating this matter for more than a year. She will not really announce it until the matter is revealed." Josh explained.
She is already a rising star of the Magic Union in the Kingdom of Shavigo. She is valued by the upper class because of her outstanding performance. Therefore, she can also know some secret news.
"This matter is really messy." Uncle Harvey was confused and said he was very confused.
"It's really messy, we don't have to go out and say it." Josh nodded, his father's words coincided with her views.
Just then, footsteps came from outside, and Aunt Harvey came back from buying things.
