Winter in Cardia is cold.
It is warm between spring and autumn, but temperatures drop sharply in winter due to its location south of the mountain hem in the northern part of the continent's largest mountain range, the Black Mountains (Amon Nour). Especially in the northeast, where the river freezes.
The long eastern and eastern Cardiac territory is generally considered divided into south-western and north-eastern regions, with the villages taking the form of a concentration in the south-western part, a sloppy hilly area.
There are many small lakes and rivers in the northeast, so their use is unthinkable until today. They used to say people used to go in and fish a lot, but people tied to the fields by my father's bad government gradually didn't seem to be able to afford to go to the northeast, which is now a completely untouched land.
I don't think the Earl of Teresia will leave it like this, so what's the only thing you'll get in the near future, but it may be difficult to entertain the village as a place of residence. In the northeast, which is closer to the mountains, many beasts sometimes descend from the mountains during the winter months, and it is tough for people to live without considering such things.
"Russywok is alive and well in the winter."
Kamil smiles so as she hits her cheek with a hot tea bottle brought on during a walk in Russywok, which is a routine.
Do you enjoy your toes sinking in the snow, Raswiwok is playing on the slopes of a hill that has turned into a snow field so that he can jump. It is probably the time when winter becomes the most active, as it is the only werewolf dragon that staples snow snakes that are not hibernating during winter.
The snow that fell yesterday one day was soft and saggy and very difficult to walk. The cloak of the wool weave, which is cold proof, is also annoying. Even though it is long and heavy beneath the knee, the hem reaches the snow, which makes it even heavier, including water.
It is good to see Raswiwok, who seems to have fun, but is covered in clouds and open to dark landscapes, difficulty of movement and, above all, the chilling that cuts him off. In the first outdoor winter I experienced, I was not likely to like it, and I gave it an early rating.
There is nothing else in the building that blocks sight for mowing the wheat, and the snow-covered hills create a terribly lonely scenery coupled with quiet.
I follow Russywok with a frown on the cold air that stains my eyes, but if Kamil doesn't stop me now and then, I'm going to be out of direct jurisdiction. Distance seems crazy because of the lack of landmarks.
"Cold......"
"I need to let you walk some more Laswiwok. Natan will prepare boiled eggs and soup when we get back to the mansion."
Kamil sucks at complaining about the cold that made her squeak by accident. Kamil, the son of a big merchant enough to be around a foreign country, is unusually good at forgiving others. It means you can feel the merchant's blood.
It is such a shame that the father of the great merchant is already dead. Even Arxia lacks information about foreign cultures. I wish I could have told you about the countries I've seen with those eyes, but I guess I can't help thinking about it. Camille was still young by then, so she almost forgot about the foreign stories she traveled to. This was another shame, too.
"It's a luxury to have boiled eggs."
"It seems Claria Village bought some chickens from Hensnad territory this year. I think if we succeed in breeding, we'll be able to eat boiled eggs more often next year."
"Right."
Sometimes like this, Camille knows something I haven't been informed about.
Raswiwok's breeding clerkship, originally foreseen by the Earl of Teresia and led by the army, is just my exclusive escort, and I guess it's a serious letter from a lot of people. Perhaps it's simply because he's a good talk-skill holder to talk about public affairs and yotai.
In the Yugfena region, boiled eggs (sea lions) are considered an edge, such as those that can always be eaten for dinner on the evening of the descent festival.
Unfortunately, the culture of livestock breeding that existed in the past in today's Cardiac territory has almost ceased because of my father.
Until now, I have relied on imports from other territories, but this year I guess the move to restart livestock production around that I bought every chicken has begun. Will attempts also be made next year to split into the northeast to capture fish from lakes and rivers?
Besides growing wheat, the inhabitants are now able to hold loose eyes.
"... Tsari? All of a sudden, you start praying. What's wrong?
"I heard you've received a new chicken. Wouldn't that be weird?
"Well, yeah. Tsari was so confident."
I answered Kamil's astonishing gaze with a shoulder over my shoulder.
A prayer, a prayer to give thanks to God, which I have only offered to the Earl of Teresia. Kamil is right, I cannot be a devout Earl Kusha. Because I don't believe in the existence of something called God.
It was a matter of seconds before I stopped for prayer, but when I realized it, Raswiwok, who should have been just a few meters away, was rolling around. I run to you in a hurry. Even if we deviate, Raswiwok will return to the hall in due course because he is smart, but we will certainly begin to get sermons from the Earl of Teresia.
Raswiwok, who had no problem with us like that, stopped rolling. I'm sticking my nose tip in the snow and sniffing around something. Did you find anything? Eventually Raswiwok started scratching the snow with fierce momentum after several yells at me and Kamil with his neck to his surprise.
"I wonder what's going on"
"Didn't you find something that could be food? When I was hunting, there were times when I scratched the dirt like that, but when I dug, there were earthdragons"
"What, Terrace Dragon!?"
Kamil raises her bare voice. So is that. A soil dragon (risol) is not a mole of a relative of a rat from a previous life. It is a type of large lizard that lives in the soil. Food and leather are fairly expensive and traded as materials for weapons and protective equipment.
"Speaking of which, you weren't convenient only then. I missed two dragons because of you."
"What did I miss? No body!!
"How am I supposed to catch a lizard bigger than myself? Even a spear doesn't sting with my power."
"I guess so..."
I reached the point where Raswiwok was indifferently digging for snow as we talked.
Stick your hands in the snow with the leather gloves in place. Kamil looked at the situation and said, "I can't believe noble daughters dig snow..." But it's even better now. Where can I find Arxia's spider-eating aristocrats?
When it comes to digging with two people and one werewolf dragon, the working speed is also fast. You can see the soil in minutes or so and dig back the frozen soil for a few more minutes. The hard scales of hibernating earthdragons touched over the gloves.
"There he is."
Carve the perimeter until you know the full story and check the prey.
"Much bigger... Do you have six feet"
"Finish it and dig it up."
Camill pulled out the sword he wore on his hips, and stabbed him precisely in the middle of the earthdragon's neck.
I looked up at Kamil unexpectedly. I blew it out of my head, such as the presence of a dragon. Pushing it down to where it was aimed at is actually very difficult. Because the sword is heavy. If you move it slowly, the tip of the sword will shake, and if you move it fast, it will fall off the orbit you envisioned for its weight.
I was surprised Camille let me try that without making it. Gunter can't do such mastery.
"You stabbed me so well you stuttered."
Camille laughs snarlingly when she notices my gaze. It just seemed deluded.
