Ark pigeon mode, activated!

After having lunch at Hiltunen's house, we left quickly.

……

Ten minutes later, at Sulter's house.

“Darkness descends, an era harsher than the Ice Age. Only those with unparalleled courage can ignite the flame, dispel the darkness and cold, and bring new light!

Surtel, I believe that person will definitely be you!"

In Surtel's room, Camilla said with an extremely determined look.

After receiving the compliment, Surtel crossed his arms and replied with a smug look in his eyes.

"Hehe, you still have some vision at least!"

It looks like a kitten with its fur smoothed.

……

Two hours later, at Wendy's house.

Camilla patiently assembled a toy car with a rather complicated structure with Wendy. Wendy is quite special in playing with toys. While others like to play with them, she likes to disassemble and reassemble them. However, there are often one or two extra parts after the assembly.

"Wendy, do you know about the underground city that's being built out there?"

Camilla asked softly.

"I know. Dad is also involved in the relevant work, but it must be kept confidential."

Wendy replied in a low voice, her tone unclear whether it was admiration or envy. She was obviously quite interested in such a large project as the underground city.

Camilla knew that her father was an engineer, so it was not surprising that he was involved in the work, because almost all capable people in the country were involved in the construction of the underground city.

"The idea of ​​an underground city is great. Even if the planet's surface is frozen, the geothermal heat is enough to sustain human survival for a long time. But..."

Camilla sighed slightly.

"The sun's energy went out so unnaturally quickly. Why couldn't the planet completely cool down even faster?"

Wendy asked after a brief silence.

"……so what?"

"So, we need more solutions and more possibilities for survival."

Camilla handed her the assembled toy car, looked at her softly and continued.

"Wendy, the first time I saw you, I knew you were a very special person. If this is your destiny, there's hope that once you grow up and gain wisdom, you'll find a brand new future!"

"What if I can't?"

Wendy turned aside and subconsciously exerted force on the toy car with her hands, holding it tightly.

"If not... then, on the coldest day in the world, maybe we can become ice sculptures together deep in the center of the earth."

Camilla smiled.

"What nonsense..."

Wendy pursed her lips and muttered softly.

……

After a busy day, Camilla didn't return home until four or five in the afternoon.

Isfir drove him through the snow-covered city.

The heavy snow affected the road conditions and he couldn't drive too fast, so he sat in the passenger seat thinking about his words and actions for the day, as well as the next target for a heart-to-heart talk.

After an unknown amount of time, the car drove into the garage and stopped. Camilla came to her senses and looked at Isfiel in the driver's seat. Suddenly, something in her heart moved.

Just as he was about to say something, Isfiel smiled, a rare sight, and spoke softly.

"Master, next time you go to see Miss Hiltunen and the others, you must be careful to protect your own safety!"

"……Um."

After being interrupted by her, Camilla simply stopped trying to play those tricks with her. It was probably useless since they were adults after all.

Isfiel turned his head to look at him, then suddenly reached out and hugged him, gently holding his small body in his arms.

Amidst the plump and soft squeeze, Camilla vaguely heard an indistinct whisper.

"If... there really is a coldest day, the only one who will stay by your side will be... me..."

The sound was shattered by the sound of wind and snow, and it was difficult to distinguish.

……

Chapter 358: Blade Master Elementary School Graduation~

A month later, the most advanced thermal circulation force field technology on another piece of land was fully disclosed, and many countries began to mass-produce related devices.

The city of Rushka was the first to benefit in order to support the construction of an underground city on the adjacent plain.

A huge thermal ring was built around the city of Rushka, the temperature gradually rose, the snow melted, and the grass grew.

Rhode Island elementary schools, which had been closed for a long time, have reopened.

This time, the primary school was even more lively because many people moved to Rushka City.

After the underground city is built, it is very likely that it will not be able to accommodate everyone, and some people will inevitably be abandoned. Many people are working in various ways, hoping to get enough places for themselves and their families to enter.

It is said that a second underground city is also under construction, but compared to the population of the entire kingdom, it is still far from enough.

The influx of people makes the city lively, especially after the snow melts.

On the way to school, Camilla encountered several traffic jams.

Rushka is not a big city, so it is normal to have traffic jams due to heavy traffic.

After arriving at the school, Kamila discovered that there were four more classes in the first grade he was attending, all of whom were transferred from other cities, and the number of teachers had also increased a lot.

The school's teaching facilities were adequate, but it had become extremely noisy, with too many children playing and fighting everywhere, making a lot of noise, as if the energy that had been suppressed by the ice and snow before was now bursting out.

Camilla talked to Surtel, Hiltunen and Wendy one by one to encourage them.

He has to restrain himself, and if he wants to do something, he has to rely on others. He hopes that they really have the potential to change the future, and that this potential can be turned into reality as soon as possible.

Just three people are not enough to ensure safety, so Camilla is still looking for other candidates. If she sees anyone who is suitable, she will praise him/her and encourage him/her to save the world.

However, the people he was looking for were all able to give him a special feeling, but he hadn't met anyone yet.

He was not in a hurry. He studied step by step every day and observed and searched when he had time.

Recently he has been studying thermodynamics, and is particularly interested in thermal loops and wants to understand their operating mechanisms.

The weather had gotten warmer, so he was not in a hurry to go home after school. He asked Isfir to take him to the outskirts of the city to watch the heat ring.

Not long after, he returned home quietly.

This crappy thing, wrapped in a layer of technology, is actually mysterious. This is why heat accumulates unreasonably in the city, achieving the effect of controlling the temperature.

He has not actually come into contact with the extraordinary power of this world, but judging from the current situation of facilities such as heat rings being manufactured around the world, it is not that weak, it is just not revealed in public.

The idea of ​​mastering extraordinary powers was also suppressed when he decided not to add points. If he pursued extraordinary powers, what would be the difference between that and adding points?

Time passed silently, and Surtel and his companions gradually became busy and asked for leave from time to time.

Chimera understood that they had embarked on the path of mastering extraordinary powers.

Once he has built his own thinking system and gained sufficient knowledge, he may also seek to learn relevant knowledge about supernatural powers.

He felt that this should be another way to understand the world.

In the blink of an eye, five years have passed.

Camilla finally graduated from elementary school.

Wendy, who graduated a year before him, did not continue to attend junior high school, but directly entered the research institute where her father worked to study in depth.

The two still meet often. For Wendy, the time spent with Camilla is a rare leisure time in her busy study life. The greater the study pressure, the more she cherishes the opportunity to spend time together.

Sulter and Hiltunen still went to school with him, but they took more leave and devoted more time to practice.

Through contact with them, Camilla also more or less knows what the extraordinary power of this world is like.

Simply put, it is a witch system that is passed down from woman to woman, not man to man. Through a series of means such as rituals and sacrifices, one can connect to the Pale Mother, the astral consciousness, and obtain her gifts, thereby mastering the magic that flows in the world but cannot be perceived by ordinary people.

The closer the image is to the Pale Mother, the stronger the gift obtained and the smoother the practice.

As for the image of the Pale Mother... no one has actually seen it. Only when one receives the gift can one vaguely sense that there is an illusory and huge will enveloping the planet.

This is very subtle.

But it's definitely a woman.

Means like sex reassignment surgery will not work. One must be female both physically and mentally to receive the gift.

After learning this, Camilla completely gave up the idea of ​​acquiring supernatural powers, but at the same time, he also understood why the leaders of many countries are women.

The current ruler of the Kingdom of Fen'es is a queen, and now it seems that she is very likely also a witch.

Surtel and Hiltunen had already held ceremonies through their respective channels and successfully obtained the gift of becoming witches, but their strength was unknown.

To be honest, even if they are really gifted, Camilla is not very optimistic that they can solve the disasters facing the world.

The main reason was that the stellar consciousness of the Pale Mother gave him a feeling of being a little low. Compared with the disaster that affected a large area of ​​the starry sky, it was not on the same level. And it was hard to say whether Surtel and Hiltunen, who embarked on the extraordinary path with the gift of the Pale Mother, could surpass the Pale Mother.

However, no matter what, he could only trust them.

After graduating from elementary school, Kemila naturally went to middle school.

Well, Rhode Island High School.

I don't know who came up with this name, but it seems to be in very poor taste.

During the vacation after graduation, Camilla found time to make an appointment with Surtel, Hiltunen and Wendy, and the four of them went out together.

Perhaps it was because girls developed earlier, but after a few years, the three Surtels had grown up to be quite beautiful, with sweet and charming childish faces, while Camilla... was still a cute little boy whose appearance was a little indistinguishable from that of a boy.

Compared with his peers, he develops a little slowly, for some reason.

In recent years, the city of Rushka has undergone a lot of reconstruction, with the urban area replanned and expanded in order to ensure that the city can accommodate a large number of foreign populations while still assisting in the construction of the nearby underground city.

At present, the underground city has begun to take shape. I don’t know how deep it has been dug underground, but there is already an underground tunnel leading to a certain area in the city of Rushka, which is set as one of the exits of the underground city.

Standing in the city of Rushka, you can see the conical structure of the underground city as high as a mountain from afar, provided the weather is good.

The thermal ring did not completely cover the area between Rushka City and the underground city. Outside the thermal ring, the biting cold wind and the thick snow froze all life.

Camilla and his group visited some newly built areas and then went to an open-air restaurant near the edge of the city for lunch.

The snow and wind in the sky pass through the invisible barrier of the thermal ring and turn into wisps of mist and rain, as hazy as fog. The strange sight is quite charming.

Enjoying lunch here is also a rare experience.

……

Chapter 359: Blade Master Tower, let’s start living together~

The sun is much dimmer than before. Even at noon, even when the wind and snow outside have subsided, it still appears hazy and gray, and looking directly at it with the naked eye will not cause any damage.

In her spare time, Camilla would also pay attention to observing and recording the brightness of the sun, and guess when the planet would fall completely into darkness.

Changes in light directly affect plant growth. Currently, all major farms in the Kingdom of Fen'es use heat rings for protection, but other equipment is also needed to supplement light.

At the same time, water use is also a problem. Outside the thermal ring, rivers and lakes are frozen, rivers are cut off, and irrigation is extremely difficult.

These problems are reflected in daily life as shortages of supplies, rising prices, and limited supply.

The restaurant Camilla found also offered much fewer dishes.

Regarding this, Camilla was very calm.

The situation can get worse, don't worry.

He slowly ate the shop's signature blueberry pie while chatting with Starr and the other two.

The city of Rushka became lively, and they had more topics to talk about.

However, Camilla suspected that they would be willing to chat with him for a long time even if it was just monotonous and boring topics about the weather.

The drunkard's real intention is not to drink, that's probably it.
