When the diplomatic corps settled down in the Ice Palace and agreed on cooperation, the two sides began to frequently exchange information with each other.
Before arriving in the Northern Continent, the envoys brought with them nearly 20 years of records of natural climate change in the empire. The data on monsoons, rainfall, and temperature changes were very detailed, thanks to the fine traditions of the Green Empire.
Ruling an empire that spanned nearly half of the continent, one was particularly concerned about climate change and adjustments. Although there were no specialized institutions like the Plantagenet dynasty to regulate feng shui and climate, it was still possible to do a good job of observation and preparation.
When the ice elves saw the thick pile of books and paper pages, they were astonished and even a little bit unbelievable, because they rarely kept records in this area.
The Northern Continent is not like other places. Because it is cold, the climate has always been extremely stable without much change, so they usually don’t care about it, until some changes have occurred in recent years.
At first, there were three warm years after the great changes in heaven and earth, and a large amount of glaciers melted.
The ice elves were actually happy during this period because it brought a large amount of flowing water, which made it convenient to build cities. In addition, the warming temperature brought many arable lands.
But the good times did not last long. In the following years, the temperature dropped again. Not only did it return to its previous state, but it became colder year by year. Some towns were forced to start shrinking.
Of course, the cooling rate was not fast at first. Although the ice elves noticed it, they were not too worried because the degree of change was still within an acceptable range.
This kind of situation has occurred several times in the past two thousand years in the Northern Continent.
However, unexpectedly, the situation began to take a sharp turn for the worse. Not only did the temperature gradually become colder, but the number of fish in the sea also decreased significantly, and food became scarce.
The ice elves began to worry about this, and began to send ships and teams to the sea to investigate the cause. They suspected that a special and powerful monster had appeared and was devouring the fish near the North Sea.
In this way, they began to fight against monsters on the way to the sea, and a few years ago they contacted the Plantagenet Dynasty in the East, and even started some cooperation to strangle sea monsters and open up trade routes.
With the trade support from the Eastern Dynasty, the food supply of the Ice Elves quickly improved, because their number was not large to begin with and they could produce a lot themselves.
As a result, the urgency of the cold disaster gradually decreased. In addition, after a long search without any results, many people no longer paid attention to this matter and planned to just endure the difficult days.
Until now, the envoys of the forest elves brought news from the western continent. The cold disaster is still spreading. Not only has everything not improved, but it is getting worse step by step.
"If that's the case, the situation is dangerous." An old nobleman with considerable insight looked at the information in his hand, his brows gradually furrowed.
"We are very grateful to our compatriots from afar for bringing us timely information. We will also quickly count our personnel to participate in this investigation."
The speaker was a prestigious ice elf earl, who was dressed very neatly in a silver-embellished suit.
"I suppose so."
Most of the ice elves have received a good education and can easily see the message behind these reports, which is that this crisis can no longer be sustained by simply holding on.
Perhaps the East Continent will also be affected later, and by then it will be difficult for them to import food, and many problems will be exposed.
If we don't resolve this disaster fundamentally, it won't be a matter of enduring for a few years or decades, but we'll have to endure the frost for hundreds or even thousands of years. By then, the entire world will be in a state of resource scarcity, and there will be no room for buffering various conflicts. As weaker ice elves, we may not be able to hold on.
"Then I'll trouble you all. I think we should first collect information on climate change across the entire northern continent."
Finally, they entered the stage of handling practical matters. At this time, Atesi regained her confidence. She arranged and directed things familiarly and explained the plan to be implemented next.
As the famous twin princesses in the forest, she is more than just a vase with extraordinary strength.
The two elves in the hall gradually got into the state, and various affairs and policies began to be arranged one by one.
On top of the tower at the top of the palace, Loran Hill sat on the bell tower and listened quietly to what was happening below, nodding occasionally.
That's great, Aitisi. Now we're on the right track.
After the two parties' negotiation meeting ended today, Loran Hill slowly opened his eyes, stood up and stretched.
"Loran, do you want to come to my place to rest?" In the clock tower, Tehua sat opposite Loran Hill, looking at Loran Hill who was stretching.
"Where? Does Tehua also have a residence in the Ice Palace?" Loran asked curiously.
"Well, there are. They built it for me when I was working with the ice elves in the past." After saying that, Tehua also stood up slightly and pointed to a courtyard to the west of the Ice Palace.
The courtyard was surrounded by purple-leafed mulberry trees, making it very quiet, which was quite consistent with Tehua's usual style.
"Then let's go." Loran Hill was not picky. Living with Tehua now would indeed make him feel more free and comfortable.
"Okay." Although Tehua's answer was very brief, Loranhill still sensed a hint of happiness from it.
Perhaps she was lonely, the girl thought. After all, she had spent so many years alone, and in this rarely visited underground garden, there were probably few people to talk to.
Then, Loranhill and Thehua jumped lightly from the tower together and flew to the quiet courtyard under the starry sky of the polar night.
