Please abide by the Basic Law

Of course, you can't bother Langdon with everything, just because he has a good temper doesn't mean he has no bottom line, and Cecil always feels that his male god doesn't seem to rest, so he should always pay attention to his body, right?

Cecil patiently discussed with Russell for a long time, and finally came to a very feasible conclusion: to drill more wells.

As long as the work schedule does not change, the peaks and valleys of fetching water cannot be changed, and the crowding is the same. Since the demand cannot be reduced, the only way to increase the supply is.

"Speaking of work and rest, is there a way for us to increase our working hours at night?" Cecil said.

"Heating and lighting costs are too high to be worthwhile," Russell said.

So far, most of the lighting still uses candles. If you want more brightness, you can either light a few more candles or use magic lighting.The magic lighting ball used by Baibai to collect red flowers when he first came here is amazingly bright and easy to use. It can float directly in the sky and move with the magic caster.

Candles in this world are made of ordinary fat, and the smell when it burns is simply "touching", and the black smoke can make people "tearful". His eyes were smeared with paraffin wax. After asking Langdon, he learned that honey was actually added to the relatively high-end candles, which filled his head with question marks.

That's not the weirdest thing.

The candle wick here is made of a strange monster skin. Although the burning effect is good, you will hear a screaming sound after burning, which is very small and weird.

Sometimes a group of "hard-working leaders" need to work at night. If there are no magic seats left, they will light candles and discuss things in small screams.When encountering such a scene for the first time, Cecil has been fidgeting, always feeling that there is a big pale face outside the invisible window, ready to get into the room at any time.

Therefore, Cecil actually wanted to solve the problem of lighting at night, but he neither knew the ingredients of modern candles, nor did he know how to improve candles in this world.

"It would be great if there was a tung tree, it can be used to make oil lamps." Cecil sighed, "Have you ever seen a tung tree?" There are many of these things in museums all over China, and there are all kinds of amazing skills｜ Good stuff at the smart level, guaranteed to collect a lot of IQ taxes in this world.

"I don't know, I'm not familiar with this place." Russell said.

Cecil finally got his chance: "Langdon knows everything."

"Because he lived a long life." Russell shrugged and said, "An old man always knows a lot. By the way, how old are you?"

Cecil: "Thirty." Actually 28.7, but he didn't want to be too far behind Langdon.

Russell laughed out loud as soon as he heard it, that kind of exaggerated laughter that couldn't stop, and walked away while laughing.

Cecil: "..."

When I met Langdon again, Cecil looked at it for a long time and still didn't dare to ask. After all, this is not a world dominated by human beings. What if Langdon lives thousands of years?This is too old to eat tender grass!

Cecil couldn't cross this hurdle for the time being, so he could only "wisely" choose not to ask.

"What's wrong?" Langdon was keenly aware that something was wrong, "What's on my face?"

"No, I'm here to ask about lighting. Have you ever seen a tree that looks like a miscellaneous tree, with a gray trunk, no features, and relatively large leaves, usually divided into three petals, each petal is oval, Every year since the beginning of summer, it has been bearing fruit, spherical fruit, green."

After listening carefully, Langdon asked, "Where can you usually see this kind of tree?"

"Uh..." Cecil tried to recall for a long time, "Arid, high-temperature areas? But this kind of tree has strong vitality, it can grow in many places, and it can live casually, and it is a perennial. Can last for many years."

Langdon pondered for a moment, and said, "I'm not sure if I've seen it before, but there is indeed such a geographical feature on the road from here to Toto Port. Basically, the temperature from Ebo to Toto Port gradually increases. Yes, the terrain changes will also increase a lot, valleys, river beaches, rocks, yes, there are deserts in the direction of Gaoting.”

Cecil's eyes were wide open, but it doesn't help the current situation. Fortunately, this is not the most important issue. Everyone is quite satisfied with their life now, especially after the completion of the new well, the peak time of fetching water sooner or later The congestion situation has been greatly improved.Cecil used the extra hardwood fence to place a roundabout queuing railing by the well, and finally stopped the group fights between the magic elk and the knights, and the order of fetching water was greatly improved.

As the temperature dropped further, soap and papermaking could no longer be carried out without the heated kang room. When Cecil got up and found that goose feather snow fell from the sky, his worries increased further.

So far, no Ebo people have escaped from the city, which is very unusual.

Cecil would spare a certain amount of time every day to stand outside the city wall and look in the direction of Ebo. Now, Ebo City has been completely closed, not only because of the cold weather, but also because of the extremely strict blockade policy issued by Bills.

"Is there a way for us to find out what's going on in Ebo City?" Seeing the snowflakes falling one after another, Cecil couldn't sit still, and asked Langdon.

"I don't think there is any need to inquire. No matter what, we can't change the ending." Langdon said in a soothing tone, "This is doomed by Ebo's own situation."

Cecil thought for a while and said, "If all the Ebo people die, what will happen to Moosi?"

"Death." Langdon said succinctly, "Gods will die without believers, especially gods born in primitive industries. However, there are still some Ebo people here who will become extremely weak, and then, When these Ebo people also give up related industries, they will die out completely."

"But, there are other leather products in the world... oh." Cecil remembered that Ebo's specialty is yak leather, which is not available in other places, and Moose is the yak god.

Cecil was even more puzzled: "Then if Ebo is facing extinction, Moosi should take the initiative to show up to help the believers?"

"It should be so." Langdon smiled reluctantly, "You can't expect a god with inexperience and low intelligence to judge the situation correctly, but he ordered Biers to clear the kang under such circumstances, and you think he will be correct Do you understand what happened?"

Cecil said helplessly: "His followers are rapidly decreasing and his power is weakening. You should understand this, right?"

"Hmm..." Langdon dragged his voice, "I said it, logically speaking, but many things in this world are unreasonable. Moose chose to be hostile to us. Although he is stupid and violent, he is a god after all. , this is not something you and I can interfere with."

In fact, just as Langdon predicted, Ebo became quiet, no one came in and out, and the patrol team of Falling Wind Valley, which was occasionally encountered, disappeared.

It snowed heavily for three consecutive days without stopping for a moment, and many outdoor activities in the Knight Village were stopped.

Russell very wisely rushed to work on the well house before the snow fell, otherwise the well would freeze too.Most of people's activities have been moved indoors. Cecil observed the potatoes planted in front of the house. They didn't seem to be frozen to death, but the growth was not good. He was a little worried that they would not be able to survive, but it was true when they were taken out. I'm dead, I can't help but feel a little regretful.

There is nothing wrong with the saffron valley and the tea trees. Originally, these plants grew in the wild. They have long adapted to the local climate and look healthy.

The mushroom house specially built a kang to ensure a humid, warm and dark environment, and maintain the only supply of vegetarian dishes. Cecil hopes to find more edible vegetables and tea products on the market next year, so that he will not have to face the future. The misery of losing all his teeth and hair, after all, he can't do magic.

Everyone is free in winter. Except for going to the toilet, which is complained by almost everyone, other things are satisfactory.

Cecil's worries became more and more serious day by day, and he stood outside the city wall on the snow and looked at Ebo every day.

"I can't stand him like this, the expression of a husband going to sea." Oakes commented.

"He has no expression." Russell said.

"That's the smell, the whole body exudes the smell of despair." Oakes changed his words graciously.

Cecil turned and rolled his eyes at the couple hard enough to get two smirking faces.In the end, Langdon "softened his heart" and sent a legion knight to investigate the situation. It is said that this knight specializes in assassins and spies, and is very suitable for this job.

This knight with an ordinary face—a very average face that can be forgotten in a flash—took a whole day to return, and calmly replied to the waiting leaders: "Everyone is dead, we can enter the city."

For a moment Cecil wasn't sure what he heard.

Eugene asked calmly, "Are they all dead?"

"Mostly," said the spy knight, "I heard some slight movements, very weak, and the number of people was very small, the noble class was almost wiped out, Biers disappeared, his house showed signs of burning, but it didn't burn , probably just happened to encounter heavy snow."

Cecil's heart was beating violently, and after holding back for a while, he said, "I'm going to Ebo to have a look."

Langdon immediately agreed to this request, accompanied by Oakes, Eugene, Moyer, and Cecil. This is a big event, and they want to determine the end of a civilization.

Unfortunately, as the spies said, Ebo has become a dead city.The corpses were concentrated in the White Tower and the noble residence area. The heavy snow obliterated the miserable scene. Cecil could only look at the piles of corpses below from the snow hole dug out.

There were indeed subtle sounds in many places. Cecil was not sure if it was a human voice or a wind roar, but when he found a "person", he immediately determined that the Ebo civilization was over.

It was a tauren, different from the huge phantom at that time, he was already about the size of an ordinary person at this moment, his hair that was originally shiny and shiny became withered and mottled, his tattered clothes seemed to be torn apart, and his skin His face was covered with scars, and he was curled up in a pile of ruins.

When he saw Cecil and his party, he struggled violently, but couldn't stand up at all. He could only growl weakly: "Heretic...Heretic...This is my territory...my..."

Ebo civilization, it's over.
