Chapter 3026 Winter Is Approaching

Joan had an inexplicable premonition about the prospect of the War of Independence.

The Battle of Leiden Port is likely to be the colorful movement of this war. In the foreseeable future, no matter whether it is in Midgard or Jotunheim, there will never be another large-scale battle of the same scale. The focus of the struggle will also shift from the battlefield to the negotiating table.

Of course, this is just his wishful thinking, and there is no reason at all.

On the night of the recovery of Port Leiden, Joan received a letter from the Palace of Fort Colas.

His Majesty Roland has already listened to the report on the Battle of Leiden Harbor, and sent a special letter to congratulate Dr. Vader on returning to his hometown as the "Liberator".

Joan really wanted to complain about the flaws in His Majesty's letter.

In fact, Port Leiden is not his birthplace, but considering that his alma mater is in Port Leiden, he can call it his "second hometown".

In addition to polite words, His Majesty the Emperor also mentioned two things in his letter.

The first is to remind Joan to pay attention to the turmoil in the financial market. The news of the Leiden Port victory has not yet been published. If he wants to make some money, then this is the best time to buy "independent bonds".

Seeing this, Joan couldn't help laughing.

His Majesty the Emperor is still so obsessed with money, but whenever he smells a chance to speculate and make profits, he immediately becomes excited like a cat smelling fish, eager to try.

In fact, His Majesty the Emperor did not need to remind him that once the news of the victory at Leiden Port was reported, the price of the "independent bonds" issued by the Continental Congress on the Korrasberg Stock Exchange would inevitably skyrocket.

Joan holds an independent bond with a face value of 1 million gentalers. At this time tomorrow, it is conservatively estimated that this asset can appreciate by at least 30%.

The opportunity to make money is right in front of you, but Joan has lost interest.

Sad to say, he has so much money now that he can't count it, and he can't even arouse interest in spending money, let alone spend money on making money.

In addition to the securities market, Roland also reminded Joan to pay attention to the abnormal changes in the weather in the letter.

Qiao An felt that this was inexplicable at first. As the saying goes, the weather is unpredictable, and the weather changes are very random. No one can accurately judge whether it will be sunny or rainy tomorrow. What is there to care about?

However, in a flash, he suddenly thought of one thing, and only then did he realize what His Majesty the Emperor meant.

The "abnormal weather" that Roland referred to did not refer to naturally occurring climate changes, but implied that a winter catastrophe sweeping across the entire Vales world was about to strike.

In recent years, one of the things that Qiao An couldn't let go of was the whereabouts of "Mother of Demon Wolf" Angel Boda.

It has been four years since the old hag took the artifact "The Ring of Winter" from the Styx Temple.

At the beginning, Ms. Farah asserted that Angel Boda would not be able to complete the attunement with the "Winter Ring" and fully control the power of this artifact within at least three years.

On the other hand, four years later, Angel Boda is likely to have mastered the "Winter Ring", and the next question will be what she wants to do with this artifact.

The "Goddess of Hades" Hull and the prophecies handed down by the elders of the Asa tribe all hinted that a catastrophe called "Winter of Fenbul" will reappear in the world.

This catastrophe broke out 40,000 years ago, directly causing the entire Vales world to enter the Ice Age. More than 99% of the species in the world faced the fate of extinction in that long and cold winter. As a result, civilization declined sharply. This is the "twilight of the gods" lamented countless times in later epics.

If Angel Boda and the evil god Zekskel behind it decide to release the terrifying power sealed in the "Winter Ring" and call for the "Winter of Fember" to descend on the world, then according to the precedent recorded in ancient prophecies, as long as In just three winters, the whole world will return to "Twilight of the Gods" again, and there will be no survivors.

Qiao An is now in the southern part of the New World, it is midsummer in June, and he doesn't feel the cold weather.

However, he believed that His Majesty the Emperor of the Far East would not make alarmist remarks in his personal letter, so he quickly cast a spell to measure the temperature and wind direction, and then logged on to the cloud network to search for data related to "climate", and checked the temperature records of various parts of the world in the past four years.

After a busy day, Joan compiled a statistical table and drew it into a more intuitive graph.

From the chart, until the end of May, the temperature fluctuations in various places did not exceed the variance of previous years. However, from the beginning of June, there were signs of temperature drop in various places in Vares. It's about 5 degrees.

This level of change is not significant, and it is hard to say whether it is considered abnormal. After all, in normal years, it is not uncommon for the temperature to rise and fall suddenly, so it has not attracted public attention so far.

Judging from the news collected from forums and newspapers, there are reports of exceptionally cool weather this summer in various places. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is not a bad thing, but Joan can't help but worry secretly.

Rubbing his somewhat sore eyes, Joan took out the communication crystal, and first wrote back a letter to His Majesty Roland, telling him that he had noticed the general cooling phenomenon in all parts of the world, and suspected that the "mother of the wolf" used the "ring of winter" to "Fuck.

If this conjecture is true, then the abnormally cool weather this summer is just an appetizer, and if it drags on for another month or two, he will not be surprised by the frost and snow in the summer. It's too late!

Judging from the records of the ancients, the "Winter of Fenbull" can be divided into three stages, and each stage lasts for about three months, that is, three seasons.

The first season is called the "winter of the wind". The main features are abnormal cold currents and storms.

At the end of the "Wind Winter", regardless of whether it is the southern hemisphere or the northern hemisphere, whether it is summer or winter, the temperature around the world will drop below freezing point. The abnormally cold weather will pose a serious threat to people's life and crop growth.

After the "Wind of the Wind" is the "Winter of the Sword". Turning into sharp hail, like endless arrows falling from the sky, outdoor activities without effective protection are tantamount to suicide.

As for those wild animals and plants in nature that can neither hide in solid houses for refuge, nor know how to wear armor, most of them cannot escape the fate of being pierced by ice arrows and brutally killed.

The mass extinction of animals and plants will lead to an extreme shortage of human survival resources. Even if ordinary people who take refuge in houses temporarily escape the fate of ice arrows piercing their hearts, most of them will not escape freezing and starving to death.
