After that warning from the fla elental ancestors, I didn’t really feel like staying in this place much longer.
At the sa ti, the red gem was much healthier compared to how it was when I had first arrived.
That was why I only did a quick injection of divine energy before leaving.
The fla elentals looked like they wanted to do a bit more, but they didn’t say anything in the end. After all, they could see how much it had drained to do the injections in the past few days.
It was obvious that I had been exerting myself during this period of ti since I could see how weak the red gem was.
It made it hard for them to say anything now that the situation had stabilized.
I certainly wasn’t going to say anything since I was still in a strange mood after my talk with their ancestors. At this ti, I really didn’t feel like staying here any longer as I needed so private ti to sort things out.
But when I ca out to the surface, I couldn’t help feeling that sothing was off.
The land on the surface was certainly cold, but it felt different when I ca out today.
It wasn’t just because the space underground had gotten warr, it was clear that there was so kind of change above ground.
This taboo zone was a place that was the embodint of cold with how cold it was, but it seed like it was even more intense than usual.
The mont that I ca out, I had to imdiately raise the shield that I normally used to protect myself. At the sa ti, I could see that the guards had bundled up while they had been waiting for .
It seed that they just couldn’t take the cold while they were waiting for .
"When did it change?" I asked Klein who was waiting there.
He thought about it before saying, "Not that long ago, there was this sudden drop in temperature that happened and we had to rush to bundle up."
When I heard this, I couldn’t help knitting my brows before asking, "Just when exactly did the temperature drop?"
Klein was caught off guard when he heard this, but he thought about it seriously before saying, "Around an hour ago."
After saying this, he looked at as if he was waiting for an explanation, but I didn’t say anything.
I also revealed a look of deep thought as I started matching up the tiline.
After thinking about it for a bit, I realized that the timing really did sync up.
Earlier after I t with the ancestor, but before I had injected divine energy into the red gem, the fla elentals had held another ceremony. They had wanted to ensure that the vitality of their ho would slowly recover, which was why they had been holding ceremonies from ti to ti.
I didn’t mind it since this was the reason that I had done this in the first place.
But now it seed that this did have an effect on the land above like I had theorized.
The only reason that we didn’t see the change with the land that the rock elentals lived under was because it wasn’t sothing that could be seen that easily. The effect that they had on the land above them was that they drained the vitality from the land, making it so that nothing grew there.
For land that was already barren, it was hard to see if it beca more barren since there were no indicators.
However, there was a clear indicator here in the form of the cold.
It seed that whatever was created down below was taken away from above.
If this was creation, then it seed like there was sothing off.
After all, when I used the creation divine energy to create sothing, it wasn’t as if there was sothing else that was taken away. When I used it, the things that I created were created out of thin air.
Well, they used my divine energy as a base, but it wasn’t as if it was just converting sothing into sothing else.
It really seed like there was sothing off about the things that the elentals had received from the gods. It really didn’t seem like sothing that a real relic of creation attributed divine energy would be capable of.
Was it sothing that the gods gave them or was it so kind of trap?
No, the divine energy that the ancestors of these elentals possessed was not sothing that was fake and it was the gods that directed to them. So no matter how one looked at it, it wasn’t as if the relationship between the elentals and the gods was fake.
There just seed to be sothing off about all of this that I couldn’t put my finger on.
"Is there a problem staying here?" I finally asked Klein in the end.
Klein was caught off guard by this question, but he shook his head and said, "We have plenty of supplies and we can bring in more whenever we need, so it isn’t as if we’ll need to worry about that."
Then after a pause, he added, "If it becos colder, then that’s a different story. There’s only so much that we can protect ourselves against with magic and clothing."
The others behind him all nodded in agreent to this.
I also agreed with this since I knew the limits of magic spells.
Only for now, I still had to finish what I was doing here before sealing this place off again.
It seed that for now, the only thing that I could do was ask the fla elentals not to hold any more ceremonies during this ti. If they didn’t hold these ceremonies, then the temperature above ground shouldn’t drop any lower.
Though it certainly would be hard to tell the fla elentals that had finally seen hope through these ceremonies to stop.
There was no doubt that this would be a hard conversation with them.
