After I died of old age, I was reincarnated into another world and became a cat

Chapter 54 The crisis emerges

In the evening... the gray sky became even darker, and the entire cloud layer seemed to be sticking to the ground, giving people an extremely heavy feeling of depression.

La Luna frowned and stood in front of the window, looking at the snow that was about to flood the windowsill.

"Ok?"

Suddenly there was a noise behind her, waking La Luna from her thoughts. She looked back and saw Ailin walking out of the room with a refreshed look on his face.

"Yo, good morning!"

"It's already evening now."

La Luna rolled her eyes at Aelin, then moved aside to reveal the dark window behind her.

"Uh, it doesn't matter. It's all the same. Do you have any food to eat now?"

Irene scratched her head in embarrassment at first, then carefully approached La Luna and asked in a low voice.

"Well, it's on the dining table. Because you two haven't come to eat, a lot of breakfast, lunch, and dinner have been wasted. Hilde is angry about this. I suggest that after you finish eating, go and apologize to him."

La Luna pointed to the closed door of Hilde's room. For some special reason, Hilde always prepared meals for the two of them every time it was time for dinner, but these two guys always stayed in the room and refused to come out, which resulted in the entire day's food for them piling up on the dining table.

As the head chef, Hilde naturally felt very uncomfortable. Although he was not angry yet, at least he had some opinions about these two people.

So La Luna very straightforwardly pointed out what Aelin and Tyrone were going to do next.

"Oh, alright!"

Ailin nodded, then excitedly picked up all the plates from the dining table, put them on a large tray, and ran into the room.

"Cough cough."

Seeing that Irene was about to return to the room, La Luna coughed and called Irene.

"Forehead?"

"Well...how should I put it? Although I think it is inappropriate for an elder to interfere in your affairs, I still want to remind you as a person who has experienced it. Although you are young and energetic, young people should be restrained and not overdo it."

La Luna looked around and finished speaking, her eyes still focused on Irene for the last sentence.

After hearing this, Ailin's face suddenly turned red.

"Um…"

Completely different from her energetic look just now, Irene blushed, lowered her head, spoke in a voice as low as a mosquito, hummed softly, then quickly returned to the room with the plate.

La Luna looked at the door that opened and then closed again, and couldn't help but turn around and sigh.

Well, it turns out that young people have strong energy and can last a whole day without feeling tired.

Finally, looking at the snow that was gradually spreading outside, La Luna shook her head helplessly, turned back into a cat and fluttered back to her bedroom.

Winter in the north is so boring, especially after entering deep winter, even the daytime disappears from this world, and the next long period of time is filled with long nights.

The wind and snow became more violent as the sun disappeared.

It didn't take long before the snow outside completely buried the windows, then gradually occupied the roof, and continued to spread upwards.

Soon, even the chimneys of some of the shorter houses in the city were covered. Fortunately, most of the houses in the city now have warming arrays provided by the Alris Magic Academy, but for those rural buildings outside the city, the academy does not have enough conditions to support them to fully build such things.

This year's winter anomaly has dealt a heavy blow to families who rely on extra-long chimneys.

In the past half winter, a lot of snow has accumulated outside the city, blocking the smoke exhaust holes, causing indoor hypoxia or poisoning.

There have even been large-scale casualties.

However, all those buried under the snow were helpless, and no one knew what was happening to each other and could not lend a helping hand. Those who were completely covered by the snow could only die slowly in despair.

The house became their final coffin.

Those who died because of blocked chimneys may not be able to see the light of day until next spring, and if the snow continues to accumulate, their houses may not be able to support their fragile resting places...

Not only outside the city, but even inside the city will face the same crisis.

……

"Alintailan, where was the snow this time last year?"

La Luna glanced at the thick snow wall outside the window, then asked Tyrone and Aelin.

"I'm asking you."

Ailin, who was sitting next to Tyrone, gently kicked Tyrone's feet under the table. Tyrone quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, glanced at the magic clock on the wall, and thought carefully.

"It's the end of winter now, right? This time last year the roof should have been above the ground."

"Hmm? Really..."

La Luna frowned. Based on her mental scan, the snow on the roof was now far beyond the range of the roof and even rose about twenty to thirty meters higher.

This is very dangerous.

Even with the existence of the magic circle, the extremely thick snow outside puts a lot of pressure on the houses. Moreover, some buildings inside the school, especially the student dormitories, have insulation magic circles arranged there, but the oxygen supply may not be able to operate normally under such thick snow.

This is very dangerous.

"You two, grab your snow removal equipment and follow me up to the roof."

"Ah? Yes!"

Seeing La Luna ponder for a moment, Terran and Irene immediately responded to the order and quickly ran to the attic, where there was a small staircase with several brand new shovels and snow picks next to the stairs.

"Ah...is this place crushed?"

Ailin and Tyrone had just picked up the tools and turned around when they suddenly saw a snow-white crack on the attic. It was obvious that this was because the structure of the attic was relatively fragile, and it had to bear a heavier weight of snow than in previous years, causing the structure to begin to collapse in the extreme temperature.

"Don't worry about it, let's go out first."

La Luna flew up from the attic with the staff, followed by the curious Miss Death and Liberty.

Hilde was asked by La Luna to stay in the room. The little fox didn't want to come out because it was too cold outside, so Hilde happened to take care of the little guy.

After La Luna came up, without saying a word, when Terran was trying to open the skylight above his head according to the normal procedure, she directly sent out an air shock wave, blowing a big hole in the top of the attic.

"??"

Chapter 55 La Luna Loses Her Temper

"Master, what are you doing?"

Terran stared with wide eyes at Luna's nonchalant operation of blowing up the roof, but he was soon poked in the back by Aelin from behind, and Terran consciously closed his mouth.

"The thickness of this snow is wrong."

After closing his mouth, Terran took a quick look at the thickness of the snow outside the large roof that La Luna had just blown apart, and he immediately discovered the problem.

"You said before that at this time of year in previous years the blood would accumulate the most and cover the roof."

"Yes, it only reaches the roof at most. Such a thick layer of snow cannot be piled up so high unless it is the end of winter..."

Tai Lun nodded seriously. It was obvious that the snowfall this year was far more than usual...

Suddenly, Terran's face changed. The extent of the blood accumulation this year has reached such a point that even the buildings in the academy have begun to show cracks. Then wouldn't his parents who were born in the countryside be...!

"Master! Please let me out!"

La Luna, who was trying to find a way to clear the large area of ​​snow above her head, suddenly felt Terran's extremely excited emotion.

"Don't be so excited. Calm down and tell me what's wrong."

La Luna frowned. In her impression, Terran had always been a relatively mature and stable person, at least on the surface. But now he looked so panicked that La Luna couldn't help but feel a little panicked. Letting Terran calm down was not only for the sake of calming Terran down, but also for La Luna herself to calm down.

"Well, our academy actually has very high-strength buildings, but the house where my parents live... no, to be precise, the strength of the buildings in the countryside is generally not as strong as those in the city, and the height is far less than that of the buildings in the city. If such a high layer of snow continues to accumulate this winter, it may be a fatal blow to those rural buildings!"

After listening to Terran's explanation, La Luna fell into deep thought for a moment. Terran was right. She had also been to the countryside around the city of Alris. Most of the houses there were far less exquisite, tall and sturdy than those in the city. They could only barely survive the winter.

And now, we are facing this kind of weather change this year, which is likely to be a collective destructive blow to those rural villages where the buildings are already fragile.

Ailin looked at the wall on the other side with an indifferent expression, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Well, I will pay attention to this matter, but the priority now is still the internal affairs of the academy..."

"No! I want to go home now!"

Terran looked at LaLuna excitedly, but LaLuna retorted without mercy.

"I know you are anxious! But what's the use of being anxious?! You want to go back now? Look at the snow outside, I don't want to see how you can go back! Not to mention that the snow layer outside is nearly 30 meters high from the ground. Even if you go out now, can you resist the blizzard outside with your magic and physical strength? After you go out, can you tell the direction of your home? I tell you, if you go out now, you will die!"

Faced with La Luna's sudden scolding, Terran was also frightened for a moment. No one dared to speak, and they all lowered their heads and looked at the ground. It took them a long time to react. They did not make any mistakes. It was obviously Terran who was scolded. Why should they lower their heads as if they had made a mistake?

In the end, they attributed this to the fact that La Luna usually maintained a kind and lazy appearance. It was the first time that everyone had seen La Luna lose her temper, so everyone was subconsciously shocked.

Facing La Luna's angry scolding, Terran was frightened at first but then quickly calmed down. After thinking carefully, he realized that what La Luna said made sense.

With his current magical powers, mastery of the moonrise and the ability of his own body, Terran could not fully guarantee that he would be able to continue moving forward intact when standing on the snow, let alone finding the direction in the blizzard. Just like Luna said, if he really rushed up there recklessly alone, the only possibility would be that he would get lost in the vast snow and the white snowfield. When the snow stopped and everyone came out to shovel the snow, they would find that they had been frozen stiff.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

Terran immediately bowed deeply to express his deep apology for La Luna's rudeness and his own recklessness just now.

"Well, it's good that you're starting to calm down and think about things."

La Luna nodded, and then I stopped paying attention to Tyrone and began to concentrate on thinking about the solution to this problem.

"There's nothing I can do. I didn't want to use such a rough method."

La Luna sat on the ground and pondered for a long time but still couldn't come up with a good idea. After all, the amount of snow here was too large. At first, La Luna thought of flying out directly and then casting a large-scale attack magic to clear all the accumulated snow.

But now is only the middle of winter. Even if you clear all the snow in the city now, judging from the current speed at which the snow is falling outside, it is very likely that the snow will pile up again in less than a week.

It's impossible for me to release this kind of large-scale clearing magic every week.

What's more, there are residents outside the city.

La Luna didn't want to use all her magic and divine power to do something like cleaning.

La Luna frowned and thought about it, but couldn't think of any solution, so she decided to rush out of the snow and look for a solution outside.

After finalizing this point, La Luna asked the others to wait for her below for a while, and then she punched directly at a deep groove in the snow that had just been created.

Finally, La Luna's entire body rushed directly towards the direction of the hole.

Although the thickness and pressure of the ice and snow felt very heavy, under the divine power of La Luna's fist, the resistance was nothing. In just a moment, La Luna broke through the layer of snow and came above the snow.

"Hiss, it's so cold!!"

Suddenly, I flew out from the warm environment. The extremely biting cold wind around me and every snowflake like a flying blade constantly showed the coldness coming from the north at this time.

La Luna looked around and found that almost all the buildings were buried under the snow, except for a small section of the watchtower on the city wall that was still sticking out of the snow and not being swallowed up.

Just as La Luna was about to go back in disappointment, suddenly a ray of golden light from afar seemed to penetrate the world of drifting snow, bringing a ray of hope.

"That is?"

Chapter 56: Get out of here and take shelter, meow!

In that world of heavy snow, a golden light in the distance seemed to connect the sky and the earth to form an extremely long belt. La Luna quickly recognized where that place was.

"Shinto... There is no snow on the Shinto!"

La Luna clapped her hands and suddenly remembered, as a gift from the Supreme Temple to the earth, it is natural that the Shinto Road cannot only serve the function of high-speed transportation. In such an extremely harsh environment, the Shinto Road keeps the road clean and tidy as usual. No matter how high the snow piles up around it, it cannot invade any part of the Shinto Road.

After seeing this scene, La Luna quickly made up her mind and returned to the house which was now buried deep under the snow.

"I have an idea. Bring all your daily necessities with you, and I will take you to a safe place later. Wait for my good news there."

"Where?"

Liberty, Irene and the others all looked completely confused about what La Luna said, and had no idea what she was talking about.

"Let's go to the Shinto Road. I just checked. With the snow falling outside, I'm afraid no building will be able to withstand such a horrible weight when winter comes. The Shinto Road is not affected by wind and snow, and is basically protected by the gods. There is no need to worry about other problems. So pack your things later, and I will send you to the Shinto Road as soon as possible."

"What about the others?"

"I will find a way for the others, you go first."

When it came to La Luna, everyone looked at each other for a while and then quickly returned to their rooms, taking what winter supplies they could take away.

La Luna was even more exaggerated and direct. With a wave of her hand, she put almost half of the objects in the house directly into her own spirit tower.

These did not include necessary items for the winter, but instead included some small parts that only had commemorative significance, which were also collected by La Luna.

The reason for doing this is that according to La Luna's inference, after this winter, no building in the entire city will be in a complete state.
