Chapter 454: I Alone Am the Sole Authority
Once the blizzard swept in, the concern was that even huddled indoors, people might fall ill from the cold.
The most terrifying cold didn’t invade from the outside; it permeated from the very bones!
That kind of cold was from within, rendering extra layers of clothing useless.
To prevent the cold, Luo Ji put a lot of thought into it.
While constantly issuing announcements, reminding the people of Myriad World Civilization to mentally prepare and take warming measures in advance, he also mandated that ‘ginger soup’ be included in daily meals to ward off the cold.
Beyond that, allocating resources was of highest importance.
Once the blizzard hit, heavy snow would block roads, making it incredibly difficult to move resources between cities.
Therefore, he had to act before things reached that point.
He needed to preemptively fill the material warehouses in all cities of Myriad World Civilization with enough coal and food resources.
“Lu Yang, help me think if there’s anything else I’ve overlooked.”
Luo Ji asked, rubbing his temples while leaning back in his office chair.
Hearing this, Lu Yang quickly flipped through the notebook in his hand.
The notebook recorded all the orders issued from the Hall of Political Affairs over the past 2 days, densely filling two pages.
Looking at each order, Lu Yang couldn’t help but praise Luo Ji’s meticulousness; he had seemingly considered every aspect.
After carefully confirming everything, Lu Yang slowly spoke.
“Reporting to Your Majesty, your humble servant believes that Your Majesty has already arranged everything that can be done. It could be said that all human efforts have been expended.”
“Leaving it to fate, then?”
Luo Ji let out a long, heavy sigh upon hearing this.
He was wary of the severe cold; after all, he had experienced such hell before.
Recalling that time, he was merely a tribal leader then, and every day felt like a year.
People were constantly falling ill, and every day, someone was injured or dying!
That experience tormented his spirit!
He repeatedly told himself that everything would be fine. The current him was no longer the same as before.
The entire Myriad World Civilization had already established brick houses capable of resisting the biting wind.
They also had warm winter clothes and abundant coal and food resources.
Simultaneously, the medical industry had developed commendably.
Even if a flu epidemic broke out, he would have the ability to cope!
Gradually, Luo Ji’s taut nerves relaxed slightly. Yes, he could get through this.
So what if it was a blizzard? With his perfected facilities and ample resources, even if a blizzard swept in, he could endure it!
As Luo Ji was thinking this, Zhou Cang, whom he had sent to White River City to fetch someone 2 days ago, walked in quickly.
“Your humble subordinate Zhou Cang, greets Your Majesty.”
Luo Ji, leaning back in his office chair, slowly opened his eyes.
“Have you brought the person back?”
“Reporting to Your Majesty, he’s already waiting in the Audience Hall.”
Hearing this, Luo Ji nodded in satisfaction.
Then, looking at Zhou Cang, whose brows showed a hint of fatigue, he slowly spoke.
“You’ve worked hard rushing back and forth. I’ll grant you a day off. Go back and rest.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty. Your humble subordinate takes his leave.”
After watching Zhou Cang depart, Luo Ji turned to Jie Zichuan beside him.
“Jie Zichuan, summon Hill.”
After all, this Great Shaman was from their Winter Tribe.
Considering the various circumstances, Luo Ji felt it would be more convenient to call Hill, their chief.
The person arrived quickly.
In the Audience Hall, Luo Ji, seated high on his throne, looked down at the so-called Great Shaman below.
To be honest, the person was much younger than he had expected.
He had initially thought it would be an old man with white hair and beard.
But a quick glance estimated his age to be around 40.
“Are you the Great Shaman of the Winter Tribe?”
Luo Ji asked while quickly opening the Great Shaman’s attribute panel.
The Great Shaman’s name was Geddo. However, that wasn’t the main point; Luo Ji’s gaze swept downwards. Soon, his suspicion was confirmed.
This Great Shaman named Geddo indeed possessed the skill ‘Meteorological Observation!’
This guy knew a blizzard was coming not because of some rubbish prophecy, but because he detected changes in the weather!
For a civilization, if Luo Ji could know in advance when heavy snow would fall, when heavy rain would come, or when typhoons would hit, such climate information would undoubtedly be extremely important.
Because with prior knowledge, he could prepare in advance.
As such, this Geddo was undoubtedly an important talent.
However, as the Great Shaman of the Winter Tribe, his original status was undoubtedly transcendent.
Even Hill, as chief, had to show him respect.
As such, facing Luo Ji now, this fellow had a self-assured, almost aloof demeanor. This was also evident when he stated his name.
This wouldn’t do. Luo Ji always disliked these types who relied on their age or status to act superior.
Although this guy wasn’t that old, he exuded that aura. With this thought, Luo Ji immediately had an idea.
“Geddo, tell me, how did you perceive that a blizzard was about to descend?”
Although he knew the other party possessed the ‘Meteorological Observation’ skill, meteorological observation also had its methods.
For instance, by observing wind direction, cloud changes, air humidity, and so on. It certainly couldn’t be a random guess.
As long as it was confirmed that Geddo had the experience and ability to observe weather, it meant he could teach these skills to others.
By then, wouldn’t his Myriad World Civilization be able to cultivate talent in this area?
However, this Geddo was clearly not being honest.
At this moment, he fully adopted that deceptive, mystical posture.
“It is, of course, the omen from the God of Wind and Snow! As the Great Shaman, I am the spokesperson of the deity, and naturally, I receive the protection of the God of Wind and Snow!”
Luo Ji’s face revealed a faint, half-smile.
Then, he unhurriedly rose from his throne.
With a “clang,” he drew the bronze sword from He Liang’s waist and walked step by step towards Geddo.
This sudden action made Geddo, who had been speaking eloquently moments before, jump in alarm. His feet uncontrollably retreated two steps.
Hill, standing to the side, also widened her eyes, finding Luo Ji’s action somewhat unbelievable.
“You, what do you want to do? I am the Great Shaman chosen by the deity, representing the God of Wind and Snow. If you harm me, the deity will be enraged and send down divine punishment! Do you see the calamity sweeping outside? That is proof…”
Looking at the blustering but inwardly fearful Geddo, Luo Ji let out a cold chuckle before suddenly shouting.
“Stop with that nonsense!”
“You say you’re protected by the God of Wind and Snow, do you? Fine!”
As he spoke, Luo Ji, who had already reached Geddo, raised the bronze sword in his hand.
“I’ll cut you down right now. I’d like to see if your so-called God of Wind and Snow can save your old life from my blade!”
After understanding the meaning of these words from Jie Zichuan, Geddo’s entire face instantly turned pale.
Just as he wondered if the other party was bluffing, the bronze sword in Luo Ji’s hand already swung towards him.
Geddo, who was barely maintaining his standing posture, immediately felt his legs go weak with fright.
He plopped onto the ground, covering his head with his hands, and quickly shouted two barbarian words that Luo Ji couldn’t understand at all.
However, even without understanding, Luo Ji knew at this moment that the other party was begging for mercy.
The bronze sword stopped just in time at the last second.
Looking at Geddo, who continued to beg for mercy with his head in his hands, Luo Ji sneered.
“Do you understand now? Here, the gods have no say. I alone am the sole authority.”
