Hammerforge, south of the Ambris Mountains.
After winter, the activity of the dwarves in Hammer Forge Castle was very low.
In the winter of previous years, the dwarves didn't have a good time. But ever since they got in touch with Ellington, Durandon suddenly found that the dwarves' lives had suddenly changed from being poor to being well-off.
Although Hammerforge didn't have a direct trade relationship with Ellington in the beginning, and the dwarves didn't circulate things like currency, as the relationship between the two sides grew closer, some dwarves no longer lacked food. They felt that it was a bit troublesome to pay with food, so they started to accept the Datang Chamber of Commerce's currency. As a result, the Irus Empire's new currency quickly became a form of currency for the dwarves.
Naturally, a large number of goods produced by Ellington began to appear in Hammerforge. After the dwarves used those new products, they immediately became loyal fans of the Datang Chamber of Commerce. Believe me, compared to hard stones and leaves, even dwarves know how good toilet paper is.
Even without mentioning the income, just the large amount of food transported from Ellington was enough to make the dwarves smile from ear to ear every day, not to mention the strong liquor.
With food to fill their stomachs and wine to enjoy life, what more could the dwarves ask for?
So this winter, apart from some dwarves continuing to dig asphalt for the Datang Chamber of Commerce, most of the dwarves lived a life of otaku, eating and drinking and sleeping every day.
Seeing the dwarves fall to such a degree made the legendary hero Eibron very upset.
"Another day of incomparable peace …"
When winter came, Durandon didn't have much work to do. Originally, his role as the Dwarf King was equivalent to the role of the director of the community committee. When the activities of the dwarves decreased, his work also decreased. After the bored Durandon accompanied his wife, he sat on the balcony on the top of Hammer Forge Castle with a pot of Tang Hero Wine in his arms. He drank while enjoying the bustling Black Swamp in the distance. He felt that his days were very good. Compared to when his father Brian was the King, this was much more comfortable.
After drinking to his heart's content, Durandon suddenly jumped outside and felt the cold wind on the mountainside. He sighed, "Alas, I am such a wise and mighty dwarf. I should carry the Undying Warhammer of the King of the Mountains, carry a pot of wine, and then go on an adventure with a group of close friends. This way, my skills won't be in vain! It's a pity, it's really a pity, the heavens are really jealous of heroic talents! I … Eh? "
Durandon suddenly stared blankly, staring blankly as an incomparably huge gray-black sphere suddenly flew over from the sky above his head.
"What the hell is that?"
Durandon stared with his eyes wide open. He had lived for so long, but he had never seen such a strange thing.
Before he could see it clearly, when the gray ball flew not far away, it suddenly exploded with a "bang"!
Immediately after, dense clouds roared out. In just a moment, the entire sky above Hammerforge Castle, and even the distant Black Swamp, were all shrouded in dark clouds!
Durandon was shocked and suddenly jumped up, "A magician wants to attack Hammerforge Castle!?"
As a result, the next moment, the sky suddenly fluttered with snowflakes. The snowflakes from a few scattered pieces at the beginning to a heavy snowfall took less than a degree of effort. In just a blink of an eye, the whole world in their field of vision became snowy white!
"It's snowing? What the hell? Why is it snowing? "
Durandon was dumbfounded, "The weather forecast said that today would be a sunny day in Hammerforge Castle!?"
After being stunned for a moment, Durandon immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed his father. As soon as the phone was connected, he scolded, "Liar! Big liar! "
"What!?"
On the other side of the phone, Brian was confused.
Durandon roared in exasperation, "What happened to the sunny day? Why did it suddenly start snowing!? "
Brian was busy in the workshop. It was rare for him to work seriously, but he was disturbed by Durandon. He covered the phone and walked out of the workshop, "Wait, first tell me what's going on!"
"Yesterday's weather forecast said that it would be a sunny day in Hammerforge Castle, but it suddenly started snowing! And it's a big snowstorm! "
Brian suddenly realized, and then angrily said, "If it's snowing then it's snowing! How can you have such a big temper! How can you talk to your father like that! "
"Brian!"
Du Langdon suddenly raised his voice: "Sometimes I really wonder how you gave birth to such a smart son like me! Am I the child of Old Wang next door!? "
Brian heard this and his nose almost crooked from anger, "If your mother heard this, do you believe that she would kill you!?"
"That's why you're so stupid!"
Durandon roared in exasperation, "Recently, Tang En's side has been increasing the volume of asphalt. Now that there's a snowstorm here, how can the Black Swamp mine asphalt!?"
Snow was a small matter, but the key problem was that Tang En's side urgently needed asphalt!
Solant Territory and the Ryan Empire were rushing to pave the highway, trying to finish the existing project before the coldest month of winter. By the time the Month of Winter and the Month of Ice Block arrived, there was no way to continue the construction.
Because the construction was in a hurry, the demand for asphalt had suddenly increased a lot, but once there was a snowstorm, the Black Swamp would accelerate the solidification, which would undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the asphalt mining, and the output was likely to be sharply reduced, delaying the construction period.
After listening to Durandon, Brian also realized the seriousness of the problem. He said, "I'll go ask about the situation" and hung up the phone.
Then Brian ran to the Research Institute and found Tang En, who was working on the Artificial Soul Quantum Computer with Histisa, and told him about the matter.
Tang En was also stunned. In the recent weather arrangements, the Hammer Forge Castle should have been sunny all the time. He still needed asphalt, so of course, he couldn't cause trouble for himself.
Could it be that someone changed the weather chart?
Tang En immediately found Jean, "Ask the Weather Mages about the weather arrangements of the Hammer Forge Castle for the past month."
Jean quickly replied, "Don't you need asphalt? That's why it's always sunny, what's wrong? "
"But Durandon said that it's snowing near the Hammer Forge Castle, and it's a big snowstorm."
Tang En's eyebrows twisted together, "What's going on? Did someone change the weather privately? "
Jean shook his head, "That's impossible. They're all students of the City of Silver. They follow the rules very well."
"The Hammer Forge Castle is located south of the Ambris Mountains. With the Ambris Mountains blocking the cold winter air from the north, there's very little snow, let alone a big snowstorm. There must be a problem."
Tang En frowned, "… Forget it. Since it's already happened, I'll go take a look at the scene first."
After that, Tang En explained to Histisa about the development of the user interface and advanced programming language, and then directly teleported to the Hammer Forge Castle.
When he found Durandon, Tang En was already there. Seeing the snow covering the mountains and plains, Tang En was stunned, "It's already so thick?"
"It's only just started!"
Durandon was a little anxious, "At this rate, I'm afraid the whole Black Swamp will be covered in snow in less than a day!"
"Why is it suddenly snowing?"
Tang En couldn't figure it out, "I've already asked the weather mages. It should've been a sunny month in the Hammer Forge Castle!"
Du Langdeng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "I just saw a big ball flying in the sky, and then the big ball suddenly exploded, and a lot of dark clouds poured out from inside, and then it began to snow, could it be because of this?"
Tang En was stunned. A big ball? Did someone compress a rain cloud and throw it here?
He looked up at the Ambris Mountains, which reached into the clouds. In this weather, he could only see the mountainside.
North of the Ambris Mountains … should be the Kingdom of Gris, right?
Eibron frowned, "Could it be that there's a famine over there, and someone couldn't help but bring the rain cloud here?"
"Yes, that's very likely."
Tang En nodded, "The Kingdom of Gris is barren. Once winter comes, the environment will be even worse. If there's a snowstorm, they won't even be able to hunt and gather. It's very likely they'll starve. That's probably why they're doing this."
"Hmph, then we'll just return it to them."
Eibron snorted and raised his hand, preparing to gather the clouds again and throw them back at them.
Tang En smiled and stopped him, "Forget it. Since we know there's a famine over there, let's not kill too much."
If there really was a snowstorm, the elites of the Kingdom of Gris wouldn't be affected. The ones who would suffer would be the commoners. Tang En didn't want to kill too much. Wasting Prandal's precious strength on a place like this was just too stupid.
"Lord Tang En, you're too kind."
Eibron patted Tang En's thigh and laughed heartily, "I know you're carrying a heavy responsibility and shouldn't be so merciful. But I think Prandal can unite under your leadership and defeat that enemy."
"You're too kind."
"No, mercy is a virtue. But what's even more precious is being able to abide by it at all times."
Eibron laughed heartily as he took to the skies. He raised his thick right arm and swung it in a circle, stirring up the mana in the air. The clouds that had just dispersed were immediately gathered again. Not long after, Hammersmith Castle returned to its original clear state. Eibron then tossed the rain cloud to the south.
Eibron then summoned the fire elemental to help melt the black swamp.
Tang En let out a sigh of relief when he saw that work had resumed. But before he could stop to chat with Eibron, his phone rang again.
Tang En didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he picked up the call.
It was Izari calling to complain about the weather forecast.
Because there was a snowstorm in the Emerald Forest.
Tang En looked at Eibron, speechless.
Elves and dwarves were like siblings. Eibron was definitely messing with his sister.
