Upon hearing this, Yun Wei frowned. "Is the 'Graceful Warm Snow'... similar to the principle of a firebreak?"
Hamel was surprised that Yun Wei had figured it out so quickly, and nodded in astonishment. "That's right. If we use the ice elements we control to occupy the ether space above in advance, then Black Snow will naturally not have the opportunity to invade."
Just as he was about to show Yun Wei his skills, he saw that the other party had already begun to silently recite a spell.
"Freezing ice, frost and snow..."
Above the azure water curtain, icy magic patterns and mystical phantoms gradually emerged and solidified. As the circuit of the six-petaled snowflake slowly closed, the shimmering white light snow was swept into the black snow.
Looking into the distance, as the dominant ink marks faded, the entire sky was gradually replaced by an icy glow.
When the entire sky returned to its clear, pure color, Yun Wei removed the water curtain.
Magical snow, possessing both healing and purifying properties, swirled and drifted in.
The drowsy people were once again agitated by this strange phenomenon.
Hamel rubbed his hands together and stepped forward, saying, "But, Warm Snow is, after all, a level five spell. Although you have abundant magic power, you will eventually tire. Why don't you let me lend a hand?"
"Not for now." Yun Wei gently shook his head, showing the other party his true Shizhi lineage.
On the smooth surface of the back of the hand, layers upon layers of branches flourish, with eight colors of light appearing in succession.
A level nine high-ranking Branch of Time is enough to cast 243 level five spells, and even without deliberate meditation, the naturally restored mana is sufficient.
However, "Graceful Warm Snow" has a limited duration, and he certainly couldn't wait until the spell's duration ended.
Once the elemental concentration begins to decrease, he will need to replenish the next spell.
This also means that his mind will remain highly tense at all times, with absolutely no time to rest.
Hamel was still staring blankly at Yun Wei's Branch of Time when Isaac raised his arm disapprovingly, "Yun, he's right. If you take turns, perhaps—"
"Really, there's no need." Yun Wei sighed softly and said frankly, "I feel that once I've mastered the ice element magic runes, I should be able to advance."
Although he lowered his voice, he didn't do it in a particularly deliberate way.
Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Hamel visibly stiffen, and Isaac remained silent.
"Alright. Anyway, please don't force yourself." The knight's feelings were quite complicated at this moment.
He was both delighted and excited by his lover's progress, yet frustrated that she no longer needed his protection. And there was also a vague sense of panic that if he didn't work harder, he would be left behind.
“I know.” Yun Wei glanced at Isaac and roughly guessed what he was thinking.
"Look, I've caught up with you again." He put his arm around the other person's shoulder, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in their ear, "But I don't have time to prepare a birthday present for you this year. I'll make it up to you later, Issa~"
Yun Wei deliberately made his last "Isa" sound very sweet.
Openly and brazenly, with a frank and straightforward fervent desire between partners.
Isaac's ears twitched immediately, as if his invisible ears had also stood up.
"I understand," he replied with difficulty.
Yun Wei wanted to present himself as a gift, making it impossible for him to say something like "I don't need a gift" against his will.
The two were engrossed in the enchanting atmosphere, but the great sage of the elves blushed deeply.
He didn't intentionally try to eavesdrop.
However, elves are naturally very sensitive in their five senses.
He completely abandoned his idea of snatching the magician from the knight, and became increasingly curious and yearning for the power of love.
Meanwhile, Koro, who came to find Yunwei, also happened to see the Time Branch pattern on the back of the lord's hand fading away.
The intricate, layered patterns were something a level 5 mage could never possess.
He knew it!
Having witnessed far too many unimaginable things, this village official has now developed a numb calmness.
He cleared his throat, interrupting the two who were still lost in their passionate kiss, "Um, Mr. Yun..."
Generally speaking, Yun Wei is really engrossed when doing intimate things with Isaac.
When he gets involved, he basically focuses all his attention on Isaac alone.
Being vigilant is what his knights need to do.
All he needed to do was focus on the knight.
So when he suddenly heard Koro's shout, he instinctively tried to break free from Isaac's embrace.
But Isaac seemed to be acting strangely today, deliberately holding him tighter and deepening the kiss that was hard to stop.
It's probably because the sensory comfort is so pleasant.
Yun Wei silently apologized to Koro in his heart, and then let Isaac go.
When the two finally separated temporarily, Yun Wei glared at Isaac, who silently turned and walked to the corner of the wall, looking completely calm.
Aside from the fact that the back of the ear is bright red, you can completely assume that the other person thinks everything they just did was perfectly reasonable!
Yun Wei gritted his teeth inwardly, deliberately ignoring his subordinate's complicated gaze. "Ahem, is there something you need, Village Chief Koro? I don't know how long this snow will last."
“Sigh, that makes things difficult.” Koro sighed. “It’s still a food problem, not just for people, but also for the livestock…”
Before the snow falls, the sheep can still go to the plowed fields to chew on the grass roots.
Although Yun Wei rolled up some hay and spread it out in a circle, when the village official came to his senses and considered it, he realized that the hay would not last more than a few days in front of so many sheep and cattle.
"Then slaughter all the rams first, leaving only two. The same goes for the weaned lambs; slaughter them all as well," Yun Wei immediately instructed.
“But…” Coro still hesitated, “Even male sheep can be sheared.”
In Lesgorod, people rarely slaughter livestock unless they are very old and near death.
They slept in the same shed with sheep from a young age; the sheep were like family to them.
Koro came to ask Yunwei, originally thinking that he would only slaughter one or two animals.
“Village Chief Keluo,” Yun Wei said, straightening his expression, “the current situation is that no one knows if they will survive. We cannot afford to be complacent.”
"Slaughtering half of the sheep at the beginning can save a lot of fodder, and the meat and offal can also improve the diet."
"Besides, if you're not going to slaughter the sheep, are you planning to let the cows starve to death?"
Cows are much more expensive than sheep.
They were not only the most important source of animal power in an era of low productivity, but the milk they produced could also be drunk, used to extract butter, and pressed into cheese that could be preserved for longer.
Cow dung can be collected as manure or used as fuel.
Even after a cow dies, its hide can be made into leather, and its bones and horns have countless uses.
The good thing is that Reston doesn't raise pigs or goats; otherwise, according to Yun Wei's thinking, these two kinds of livestock that eat a lot and produce little would probably all have to be slaughtered.
Koro could not persuade Yunwei otherwise, and could only leave heartbroken.
Hamel was left standing there, trembling.
The great sage of the elves felt that his heart had been utterly shattered, leaving not a trace.
The Yunwei state, which routinely slaughtered half of its livestock, was truly cruel.
Like the most bloodthirsty and ruthless demon.
But then, the "devil" turned around and smiled slightly at him.
Even if the other person smiled brightly, he couldn't feel any warmth at all.
Yun Wei asked curiously, "I've heard that all elves are vegetarians?"
“Not at all. We will add many spices. It’s just that fruits and vegetables taste better,” Hamel replied dryly.
It turns out that it was all about pursuing higher standards in food.
Yun Wei thought to himself, "No wonder the other party has some connection with Oakes."
Even his speech was halting and babbling.
So he happily took out a carrot from his spatial storage and stuffed it into the other person's arms, saying, "Shh, don't let anyone else see. This is my private reward for you."
This actually stemmed from a movie poster that Yunwei saw when he was a child.
The scene in the poster is a mill, and the donkey that is circling the millstone is a big spotted donkey.
By tying a carrot to the front of the donkey's head, you can trick it into walking around the millstone all day.
Therefore, he always thought that the big spotted donkey liked carrots.
Hamel, who was clearly an elf but was mistaken for a donkey by Yun Wei, looked at the carrot in his hand, which he disliked the most, and could only bite down on it with tears in his eyes, meeting the other party's expectant gaze.
"Click".
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
"Delicious... crunchy!"
Waaah, he still prefers chestnut-flavored bread rolls with berry sauce!
