Chapter 515 Summer and Cold
As soon as he came back from Belle, Gray saw the servants of the palace looking for something.
When he walked over and was about to ask what was going on, Sterry, who was arranged by him to enter the palace to learn maid etiquette, and another mermaid came to him happily.
"Master, everyone is looking for you. The Marquis seems to say that there is something important to discuss with you. He is waiting for you in the meeting hall." Sterri said quickly.
"Okay, I understand." Gray nodded slightly and rushed to the conference hall quickly.
This seemed to be the first time that the Marquis was so anxious to find him, so something important must have happened.
"It seems that Miss Witch should be brought here, so that she has a clone on Belle's side. No matter where I am, I can quickly know what important things happened on the other side." Gray thought to himself while walking quickly.
The portal just solved the problem that he didn't have to spend too much time on the road between the two places, but the information transmission between the two places was still hindered.
"Well, you can also tell Sterri the location of the portal. If there is anything here, she can come to me through the portal."
Thinking of improving the information transmission mechanism on both sides, Gray has arrived at the convention hall of the palace, where the Marquis, the Finance Officer Merida and several other officials are already waiting for him.
The convention hall was filled with sorrow and no one said anything. They had already argued about what they should say. They concluded that they did not know what happened and did not know how to solve it. The only way was to hope that His Majesty, the wise and powerful king, could save the country again.
"What happened?" Gray walked over and sat down, glanced at the frowning people, and asked straight to the point.
If Sterry didn't tell him that the matter was in a hurry, he would have taken out a silly girl and left them a photo, one by one, as if he had just come out of the coal mine. If he hadn't been familiar with them, he would not have recognized that these people were actually his senior officials.
"Your Majesty!" These people began to shine when Grey came in. When Grey sat down, they spoke one after another, but in the end, Marquis Riley grabbed the opportunity to speak with a slightly higher status and speed of speech.
"That's right. Just a few days ago, the soldiers and workers on the beach said that the weather was getting colder and the temperature had dropped by more than ten degrees. It felt like winter was coming early."
"We thought it was the normal cooling caused by bad weather, and it would be better every few days, but the weather was clear the day before yesterday and the temperature was still cold. We realized something was wrong. It seemed that winter was coming early."
"If winter comes early, all the food this year will not be harvested, the kingdom's previous stocks will be exhausted, and there will be a famine. The whole country will have an unprecedented crisis, and at least half of the people will die in this famine."
"This is not something we can hear, but the result calculated based on the existing conditions of the kingdom."
"Of course, I believe your judgment, let's continue." Gray didn't speak too much, even if the one in front of him was his cheap dad.
"We firmly believe that what is abnormal when this winter comes early is not in line with the laws of nature." Marquis Riley said seriously, "We speculate that it may be a crisis brought about by a monster in the north or a supernatural phenomenon. If the source can be solved, the kingdom can quickly return to normal and allow the kingdom to survive this disaster safely."
"And we have to act quickly, otherwise those food crops will die if they are in low temperatures for too long."
Grey certainly understood the Marquis’ concerns, but because of the forest barrier, although the Flower Kingdom encountered the same thing, the temperature did not drop significantly, and he did not notice it for a while.
"His Majesty the King is a dragon-slaying warrior and the most powerful knight in the kingdom. We ask His Majesty to lead some soldiers to explore the source of the cold current and eliminate it." An official said with a shameful expression.
As your Majesty’s subordinate minister, you cannot share your worries. If you encounter any problems, you have to ask your Majesty to do it yourself. This is a denial of their ability and a trampling on their dignity.
But they had no other choice. When faced with such a thing, they were worried that others would go, which might lead to greater disasters in the kingdom, so they could only grit their teeth and ask for it.
Gray didn't think that there was anything wrong with ordinary people. Ordinary things were done by excellent people, and difficult things were done by excellent people. This is the correct way to deal with things.
If they obviously don’t do well but insist on showing off their strength, the final result may not only cause losses to the generals, but may also bring greater harm and cause greater losses. That is a guilty.
In fact, after discovering that this thing was not a normal cooling, but was related to some extraordinary events, Gray also became interested and planned to go over and find out and solve the problem of this kingdom.
After all, he fought this kingdom himself. Although he didn't take care of it very much, he couldn't ignore it when he really encountered something.
Since we have won the battle and become their king, we will naturally have to bear the corresponding responsibilities.
However, there are no major issues in normal times, so the Marquis and officials can solve other trivial matters. He doesn't need to do everything himself, and he will not have any problems even if he is lazy. Therefore, he is also at ease when he is the boss.
But now in this situation, he must go and see the situation in person, which is not something that others can solve.
So in the face of the official's request, Gray nodded affirmatively, "I will solve the problem. You can appease the civilians, tell the nobles, try to adopt the policy of appeasement. If I come back and find that there is chaos in the territory of any noble, I will leave them some unforgettable memories."
Although the nobles' subordinates and civilians have nothing to do with him, Gray knows very well that many unrest sometimes grow from places that seem to have little to do with you.
Although the territories of those nobles were independent, they were not isolated from the kingdom. On the contrary, some places were even closely connected.
If there is a turmoil among the civilians under the nobles, it will definitely affect the kingdom. If it cannot be resolved in time, it will eventually turn into a national turmoil.
So before leaving, he must set the tone for the whole thing first, and do not allow excessive treatment. If the mistakes of the nobles affect the kingdom, he will not be merciless.
This is also a warning. The name of the Dragon Slayer Warrior has only been in this world for a year, so they will not immediately forget the power of the Dragon Slayer Warrior, and it also has the power to shock the nobles.
His orders could make those nobles handle it with caution and would not make those civilians fall victims so quickly.
"Your will be implemented!" the officials said respectfully, and the Marquis also said that he would definitely restrain the nobles, although he was only half sure.
After all, the nobles may not necessarily listen to him. Even if they have the orders of the king, it is not the first time they have done something that they have done lip service.
Of course, that was the time of the old king in the past. Now the king is Gray. Even if those nobles don’t want to listen, they will restrain themselves, unless they are really unable to think about it and want to leave the world as soon as possible.
There are many nobles who died at Gray's hands. As long as there are legitimate reasons, Gray will not be surprised if they kill a few more nobles.
"I will figure out the reason for this situation as soon as possible, and you will do your job well." Gray stood up from his seat and continued to listen. The information they had was all about what disaster this cold current would bring, and this is what they needed to manage.
He was about to find the source of this incident. He didn't care about the kingdom, and it was just a waste of time to ask, so it would be better to leave it to them.
Perhaps he could help develop some countermeasures when he knew these, but that was far better than him to find the source to solve them, completely end it, and resolve the crisis of the kingdom from the root.
