Chapter 122: Frost Giants Are Chipmunks
Ivan, who had just woken up, felt dizzy and didn't realize anything was wrong.
It was not until he followed the Frost Giant caravan back to the Druid station in a daze that Alvin noticed the vague hostility coming from the side.
He sat at the long table in the Oak Hall. The middle-aged bald man on his left exuded a murderous aura that made Ivan a little confused.
"Your Excellency, the Priest, although I personally welcome the Frost Giants to join us,
But the reality is that there is no longer enough space inside the station to accommodate the frost giants;
Even if we empty the warehouse, I'm afraid there's no way to accommodate all of them."
The thin moon elf Philohil has now become the chief administrator of the base, and all matters, big and small, are recorded in her little notebook.
Alia, who was in charge of logistics, also discussed the matter with Senna.
“There will also be problems with food.
I asked your sister, the beautiful frost giant warrior.
She said that a frost giant would eat at least 80 pounds of food a day, almost ten times as much as a human or elf...
In other words, the addition of these seventeen frost giants is equivalent to adding nearly two hundred people to the garrison.
Our current food production speed is a bit behind consumption..."
The data that Arya said was pretty standard. If Senna were to speak, she would probably just pat her chest and say that she would have enough food to eat.
Ever since the bumper winter harvest at the eco-field, this young girl, who has appointed herself as agricultural director, has become a little too proud.
Bol began to scratch his head. He glanced at Xiling and scratched his head even faster.
The half-elf sat next to Ivan with his back straight, and his posture was more standard than those trained paladins in human cities.
It would be great if this girl could face the right direction. Philo Hill next to her didn't even remind Xi Ling that facing the wall during a meeting... is that appropriate?
Forget it, I can’t count on the cabbages from my own garden now.
After hesitating for a long time, Boll finally set his eyes on Ivan, who looked absent-minded.
"Evan...
Ahem, Alvin?
"You bastard!"
After three consecutive sounds, a human who was staring at the hooded half-elf in a daze finally woke up.
"Eh? Yeah? I think we can have grilled fish tonight... Paul, wait a minute, don't lift your feet!
What? This matter...
Actually, your thoughts are a bit biased. The first question you should consider is whether the frost giants can adapt to the climate environment of the Haze Forest, right? "
After hearing these words, the expressions of the people who were discussing and speaking enthusiastically suddenly became very surprised - especially Boll.
As a hybrid frost giant, he was completely unaware of this fundamental problem.
Fortunately, Alia next to him interrupted in time, so that others did not continue to pay attention to the priest whose forehead was gradually turning red.
“Indeed, this will be a big problem.
The winter in the Gray Haze Forest is not much different from the frozen plains, but in the summer, it becomes humid and hot. I'm afraid that the frost giants who live on the Spine of the World all year round don't like that kind of temperature..."
"Yes, when I went to the Spine of the World with Hega, I often saw her squatting on the ground digging snowballs and rubbing them on her legs...
We can’t change a species’ habitat all at once, but we have to give them a long enough time and gradual changes in the environment as a process for them to adapt to the new environment.”
Boll recalled that when he had just left the Spine of the World, he felt chest tightness, shortness of breath and nausea in an environment without snow.
Fortunately, he was favored by Ms. Mielikki, and was able to survive in the forest in that sickly state.
It took me more than ten years of adaptation to finally alleviate these problems.
If a half-giant like me is like this, then all the pure-blooded frost giants will be staggering...
“So, instead of letting the Frost Giants live directly in the Haze Forest, it would be better to carve out a settlement suitable for the Frost Giants to live in on the frozen plains to the north of the Haze Forest, which is also covered with frost all year round…”
"Like we make tree holes for chipmunks?"
Senna is young and speaks without restraint.
"That's right! This is the same principle as when druids repair caves for animals.
It’s just that these little chipmunks are a bit big…”
This series of jokes that came out of his mouth made everyone in the Oak Hall laugh so hard that they fell over, and even Xiling, who was not in the mood, couldn't help but shrug.
"Haha, if that petty Hejia knew that she was mistaken for a chipmunk... I guess this kid... Tsk tsk..."
Bol whispered to his sister. Most people didn't know how good the Frost Giants' hearing was, but he knew it very well.
“Then there’s the issue of food.
Since they already have a separate settlement, the Frost Giants' food will naturally be produced within the settlement instead of relying on food cultivation in the Druid Station.
Besides, the last time the frost giant Hega visited me, I remember he just took a few bites of the chewing potatoes with disdain and was indifferent to the other crops we produced..."
"That human is right. The frost giants feed on the beasts of the Spine of the World, and they occasionally eat some tundra plants."
The wooden door of the Oak Hall was violently pulled open, and a huge head appeared outside the door.
"So what kind of food are you going to give us little chipmunks, humans or elves?"
I was startled by the sudden sound.
Ivan was completely unconscious during the migration of the Frost Giants and had only a vague impression of this strange big head.
"Soy, don't act so fierce...
Except for Alvin, everyone in the room knew that frost giants did not have the habit of eating humans.
Also, next time you break my wooden door, go sleep outside the base!"
Bol, who was also frightened, gradually calmed down when he saw that the person outside the door was not Hejia, and appropriately displayed some of the majesty of the head of the sect.
"Lululululu, Bol is the real murderer..."
Seeing that no one else cared, Bol acquiesced to the frost giant woman eavesdropping outside the door.
The female frost giant called Soi could barely sit on the ground and look at everyone in the hall because of her height.
If it were Hejia, who is tall and has long legs, she would probably have to lie on the ground to listen to the meeting.
"It just so happens that there is a more normal frost giant who can provide reference opinions. The results of our subsequent discussions will be more accurate.
So, Ms. Soi, can you tell me about the eating and living habits of the frost giants? "
Looking at this human being who quickly entered the working state, Xiling seemed to feel that there was something wrong with her eyes——
She felt that this human was glowing.
