Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2619 Intervention Weather Chain Reaction
The time soon came to November, and the sky became more gloomy. Although there has been no snow or rain, this kind of cloudy weather makes people feel particularly depressing.

Therefore, when he received Layton's report on the outside weather for the third time, Xia Duo finally walked out of the laboratory and came to the ground.

Up to now, almost everyone is aware of the fact that this year's winter is likely to be brought forward again, because Leiden's report mentioned that the citizens are worried that the winter will come early and the severe cold will intensify, which has actually affected the affairs of the territory.

On the Codex Square, Xia Duo looked up at the sky, and he didn't look back for a long time. He was in the laboratory during this time, and he really didn't personally experience the scene where the dark clouds are getting denser and lower day by day.

But now that he saw it, he could understand the concerns of the citizens. From the point of view of his senses, the dark clouds in the sky were so close that he could touch them with his hand, and the broad daylight was like the evening after the sun had set.

Only the pale twilight tried hard to penetrate from the gaps in the clouds, but it still failed to really penetrate, and only traced the outline of the dark clouds more clearly.

Correspondingly, such a scene also brought deeper fear to the people.

Even Xia Duo had seen such a scene for the first time, and then he cast a spell to explore a farther area outside the territory. From south to north, the clouds became thicker and thicker.

The northernmost place close to the North Pole has already started to snow. I am afraid that the snowfall area will cover the south of the Narrow Sea in less than half a month, which is actually the core area of ​​Netheril.

It may not take a month for the southern border to start snowing. In fact, this is already earlier than last year, and of course it may be even earlier.

After all, the clouds above the southern border are already extremely thick at this moment, and there may be rain or snow if there is a slight stimulus.

……

After thinking for a while, Xia Duo felt that it was necessary to take the initiative to intervene. In fact, he did not like to intervene in a more macroscopic and complex system such as the weather. After all, the weather system on the earth has not been fully understood.

Maybe he intervened here, and other places may cause more serious consequences.

But in this situation, it is impossible not to intervene. It is not what will happen in winter, but the dark cloud scene that lasts for a few months really affects the psychological state of the people.

It's like beheading, stretching out the head and retracting the head is also a knife, but if the knife doesn't come down for a long time, it will really be a kind of torment.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo began to drive the Floating Void City to lower its altitude, from the cloudless sky to the dark clouds below, and then he used the war spell [Light of Annihilation] to annihilate and clear the dark clouds over the territory on a large scale.

As long as there are enough annihilations in the vertical direction, there is no need to worry about stimulating the clouds to rain or snow suddenly. As for the horizontal direction, there will inevitably be some impact, but the greater impact is——

After the dark clouds in this area were annihilated, the dark clouds in other places were pushed back by air convection.

After Xia Duo was busy for more than half an hour, the dark clouds over the territory had not been completely cleared, and even triggered a chain reaction, because the more annihilation, the stronger the convection, and the more dark clouds were pushed over.

Now it's not something that Xia Duo can stop if he wants to. He can stop, but once he stops, it may rain or snow immediately above, and this trend will even spread to the northern hinterland.

Although the territory has already made sufficient preparations for snowfall in advance, wouldn't it be easier to deal with it if there was more time to prepare.

Not to mention, the territorial workshop is still working overtime to process winter supplies for some lords of the third plane of Tianshui. If it rains or snows suddenly, outdoor activities will almost stop, which will definitely affect the efficiency of the workshop.

Xia Duo really felt like he was riding a tiger. Just now he was worried that active intervention might trigger a chain reaction, but he didn't expect the chain reaction to hit him directly in the face now!
Fortunately, it is not he who casts the spell himself, but the war spells of the Floating Void City. However, using the same war spell for such a long time and frequently will inevitably affect the service life of the core magic weapon of the war spell.

Moreover, such a critical war facility is not suitable for using arcane energy strings. Mithril’s energy conduction efficiency is not as good as arcane energy strings, but in this case, what is most needed is not efficiency, but reliability. This is the advantage of stable materials up.

……

When he came to the government affairs hall, Xia Duo called Leiden out and asked him to look up at the sky. At this time, the sky was filled with colorful streamers, which were the elemental anomalies caused by the turbulent flow of elements caused by the annihilation of the clouds.

But through those elemental anomalies, the people on the ground below can already see the figure of the sun. Seeing this, Leiden had an excited expression on his face, and he hurriedly asked Xia Duo:

"My lord, the problem of the dark cloud has been solved?"

"It's not that easy, but it seems to be resolved on the surface. This situation is estimated to last for a while. Hurry up and appease the people!"

When Layton heard this, his face became serious, and he returned: "Yes!"

……

Back in Floating Void City, Xia Duo called Niya, Savile, Epps, and Eberke over, and confessed to everyone: "Everyone, I may have done a stupid thing—"

Then, he told everyone about his behavior just now, and then expressed his thoughts in the eyes of everyone:

"In this situation, it doesn't make much sense to continue to annihilate the clouds on our side. I am going to ask the parliament to notify the inland lords to prepare for rain and snow."

"Is it so serious? There has never been snowfall in November in previous years!"

It hasn't been long since Epps came back to life. At present, he has been exposed to all kinds of novelties that the Tower of Time has already occupied. He only has such a concept of climate anomalies, and he doesn't have much personal experience.

At this time, Eberke interjected, "Last year, the snowfall started almost in December, which is much earlier than in previous years! If it is earlier this year, it will have a big impact!"

The abnormal climate in the past two years was either thought to be a natural phenomenon at the time, or it was later discovered that it was related to Dragon Madness, and there was no direct person in charge. Although it caused consequences in the eyes, he gritted his teeth and recognized it.

After all, what if you don't recognize it?
But now, although Xia Duo did not make the climate anomaly more serious, it has really changed the climate cycle, allowing the snowfall that might have taken half a month to a month to appear earlier.

This is a change that can be seen with the naked eye, and this is what Eberke said about the impact!

Niya also expressed concern about this, "If you report the real situation to various places, many people may blame you for the losses caused by snowfall or even severe winter in the future."

This is indeed a kind of consideration, and Xia Duo has considered it before, but the impact of continuing to use [Light of Annihilation] is not small, making it difficult for him to choose.
