Yuanshin: The duty of the inspector is to eat melons

If a leaf represents a crack on a high wall, the wall today is probably riddled with holes.

And a gap can bring that degree of cold disaster...

Tavernal slowly clenched his fist against the wall, not daring to imagine what the outside world would look like at this moment.

Finally, after all the branches and leaves were rolled down, the wind and snow that had been hovering in the hall slowed down.

The bare tree trunks stood in the hall like every deciduous tree over winter.

The originally paused singing sounded again, gently and melodiously.

The ground at the root of the big tree was cracked inch by inch and floated into the air.

The still dark roots are exposed to the air.

The wind and snow surged again, turning into sharp knives, cutting off the dark roots.

Soon, there are only one or two clean root hairs left in the whole root.

The big tree is crumbling.

At this time, Tavernal saw the wind and snow began to gather towards the hollow under the tree roots, and each snowflake carried a small ice crystal-the branches and leaves that had previously rolled down from the branches.

Like building a wall, snowflakes use leaves as raw materials to reassemble new roots.

Originally from the same source, such an operation did not cause rejection. With the support of the new root system, the crumbling trunk that was about to be broken was stabilized again.

When the five new main root systems were constructed, the raw materials were also used up.

The floor was covered again, and all the wind and snow gathered under the tree to form a vague human shape.

There was the sound of birds flapping their wings in the hall.

The swirling snow condensed into flying white doves, and the doves scattered and swept away, and Columbia's figure reappeared under the tree.

She's not doing well.

His face was paler than before, as if he had lost too much blood.

Seeing that the wind and snow had cleared and it was safe, Tavenal walked out of the passage and came behind Columbia.

"Ah, I'm so sorry, can you help me up?"

Columbia barely maintained a smile on her face. She was exhausted too much, and now she was falling into a period of weakness, and she didn't even have the strength to stand up alone.

The girl's long hair was scattered on the white ground, and the miniature wings on her head were spotless.

When she turned her face to the back, a line of blood and tears was dripping down her right eye, and the blood streaked across her pale face, giving off a strange beauty of holiness and depravity.

Tavernaar bent down and helped Columbia up from the ground.

"All the leaves on the tree have fallen."

Tavernaar was very worried that this would affect the wall. You must know that the cold disaster caused by a crack has already covered a large area with ice and snow in the current solstice.

Columbia looked up at the top of the tree, and she was also helpless about it.

"Each leaf that is carved represents a crack, which is the accumulation of thousands of years."

She stretched out her hand and pressed lightly on the tree trunk. At this moment, the tree trunk no longer had those shocking cracks.

"The damage to the root is extremely serious. Ordinary repairs cannot completely eradicate the pollution. In order to repair the root, I cut off all the damaged roots, and then appropriated the part that was originally used to repair the city wall, and finally built a new root system to support it. Does not fall."

Columbia's voice was soft, and she didn't seem to have much feeling about this matter.

"With such a gap, when the cold disaster comes, I am afraid that the winter will really fall into the cold winter forever." Tavernaar only hoped that the Queen of Ice could withstand it.

Columbia smiled, and suddenly reached out and touched Tavernal's head, "Don't worry, we still have time."

"The time in this place is different from that of the outside, as long as the defect is filled before it is completely reflected, it will be fine. Well, if it is completed within a month, it should be able to catch up."

Does time flow differently?

Tavernall suddenly felt relieved.

"But there are indeed too many blades lost, Tavernaar, I need your help."

"what should I do?"

As long as the problem of cold disaster can be solved.

"Well, Tavernaar, I remember that you are also the God's Eye of the Ice Element, right?"

Tavenal nodded.

Columbia smiled brightly, "Then please Tavernaar use the Eye of God to mobilize more elemental power for me in the next period of time."

This request was much simpler than Taverner expected. At first, she thought that she would also join the leaf-pinching project.

So she agreed right away.

Columbia first rested for a while, and only after her physical strength had recovered to a minimum did she turn her attention back to the ice tree that had been locked up for the entire solstice.

They didn't wait, although theoretically they had enough time, but in order to prevent accidents, it is better to start work as soon as possible.

Tavernaar controlled the Eye of God to continuously condense pure ice elements, and then Columbia took over the follow-up and gathered them on the bare branches, and then condensed into leaves.

It has to be said that Tavernaar's elemental power is quite impressive after being strengthened time and time again in the "Book of Narratives", which surprised Columbia a little.

"In this case, it should be faster." Columbia hummed a little tune, looking in a good mood.

In one day, they completed the restoration of the cluster of leaves above their heads, although the difference was not 01:30 compared to the whole.

But seeing the clear leaves on the branches shining brightly against the starry sky above my head, I felt a sense of accomplishment.

In this way, five days passed, and the ice tree progressed steadily, but as time went by, new problems also appeared.

The flow of time here is just slower than outside, but it doesn't mean that their physical condition is constant and they still need to eat.

After discovering the shortage of dry food reserves, Tavenal immediately explained the situation to Columbia.

"Oh, I forgot about it." Columbia tilted her head, "Well, why don't I send you out first and get some wild beasts on the snowy field."

Considering the difference in the speed of time, an hour outside here is almost a day. Tavernall thought about it and made a decision.

"That's fine. I'll leave the rest of the food with you. I'll probably disappear for a day or two." Taverna paused, "How should I contact you then?"

"Well, take this, use elemental force to stimulate it, I can sense it, and open the door for you."

Columbia plucked a feather from her head, cut off a small strand of hair, condensed them into a string, and tied the feather in place.

In order to prevent loss, Tavernall tied the rope around his wrist.

Columbia lowered her head slightly, pressed her fingers together, and slowly opened them in front of her chest, a door of light that appeared between her and Tavenal.

This time without prompting, Tavernaer stepped into the light gate by himself.

Chapter 49 Is It Normal to Kill a Bear as a Solstice Man?

Feeling the biting cold again, Tavernall knew that he had successfully come out.

The sudden bright light made her squint her eyes involuntarily, and after a moment of adaptation, she opened them again.

I don't know if it's her illusion, but the weather seems to be getting colder.

She looked back, and what she saw was not the towering ice wall, but a forest.

I don't know where Columbia teleported her.

Forget it, time is running out, and the top priority is to find food. Columbia is still waiting, although Tavernall feels that she seems to have no need to eat at all, and only takes a few symbolic bites each time.

You should be able to find many small animals in the forest.

Tavernaar used the wind element to support himself to float in the air - I heard that there are many small animals hidden under the snow, and their hearing is very sensitive.

After searching around like this, she didn't even see a single hair.

Could it be that the weather was too cold and everyone moved away?

Seeing that it had been an hour, and there was still nothing to gain, just when Tavernaar was a little impatient, she heard a beast roar.

The roar spread far away and was so powerful that even the snow on the trees was shaken off.

Hey, this is called a healthy guy, you don't need to think about it to know a big guy.

Taverna was excited.

She immediately rushed in the direction of the sound.

One minute later, after crossing the trees that blocked his view, Tavernal saw the owner of the call as he wished.

It was a massive brown bear, crouching under a tree, and seemed to be grinding its claws with bark.

Tavernaar scanned up and down with his scrutinizing eyes, and saw a figure on the tree that the brown bear was holding on to, and finally turned his gaze back to the brown bear.

There's a lot of meat, take it home, at least it's enough to eat.

After the initial assessment, Tavernaar's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand to call out his staff.

Just at this moment, the brown bear seemed to sense something and fell back to the ground on all fours.

It turned its head, and saw a human being who didn't seem to have enough gaps between his teeth to look at it. His eyes seemed to be looking at prey, which was extremely dangerous and made it angry.

"Roar!!!"

The brown bear bared its teeth at the uninvited guest, and walked slowly away.

Gradually, the speed increased, and he stepped forward on all fours, facing the wooden stick raised by the human being and pounced on it.

It stands to reason that, no matter in terms of size, tonnage or natural laws, the brown bear should win.

However, Tavernaar slammed down with his staff, so powerful that it directly blocked the brown bear that was rushing.

And it's not just blocking, at the next moment, the staff continued to move forward, and the brown bear was pushed back directly.

The four legs were unsteady, and the brown bear was slapped on the ground by the staff pressing its head.

This is probably the only nightmare this brown bear has in his life.

Thankfully, it won't last long, and there won't be a next time.

Next, it was Tavenal's unilateral bullying.

Ten minutes later, the brown bear lay peacefully on the bloody red snow, lifeless.

The figure who had been hiding in the tree before also chose to get down from the tree at this time.

Tavernaar was squatting on the ground and wiping the staff stained with red and white things with snow. The man walked up to her carefully, only to realize that the other party was just a teenager.

"Sister, thank you. I was chased by it for a long time, and I thought I was going to die."

"No, I just happened to pass by." She stood up, shook the snow and water off the staff, and put it away.

Only then did she notice that she was actually a little shorter than the boy when she stood up.

Numbly slandered the doctor again, Tavenal took two steps back to make eye contact with the young man, "Are you from the nearby village?"

If there is a village nearby, then next time if you still lack food, you can go and have a look.

"Sister, you have the eyes of God!" The young man answered irrelevantly.

Frowning, Tavernar stared at the boy.

Seemingly aware of her emotions, the boy rubbed his head with a dry smile, "There is no village nearby, I ran out by myself."

"runaway?"

"Well, I'm going to be an adventurer in the future!" The boy seemed full of ambition.

He was carrying a not-so-big bag, and a small dagger was pinned to his waist, which seemed to be the case.

"An adventurer who was almost eaten by a bear?" Tavenal asked back, "It's normal to seek excitement, but it's better not to worry your family. Does your family know that you are out?"

The young man looked away guiltily.

Tavernall will walk to the side of the dead brown bear, cut off a bear paw with the wind blade, and throw it at the boy.

The boy quickly caught it, and looked at Tavernal because he didn't know.

"Adventurer's spoils." Tavernaar said concisely, then patted the dirt on his hands, "Go home early."

Holding the bear's paw, the boy came back to his senses, thanked him loudly, and ran out of the forest.

He ran a few steps, then stopped suddenly and turned around.
