The golden Wind Violet Grass floats, fading in the wind.

Great Serpent moves forward in the vast Cloud Sea, its back slowly rises and falls, and Fourth Continent, which is supported on its back, also slowly descends from high altitude.

Raging winds rise from the edge of the continent, and the most powerful and violent air currents climb over the mountains in the northwest corner of the continent and sweep southward.

Wherever he went, the grass blades rolled, the trees swayed, and the animals running in the forest stopped to listen to the endless noisy wind.

The farmers in the fields stopped in the wind, holding on to their straw hats that were about to break free and raised their heads. In the distance at Castle, soldiers walked out of the towers and struck the iron bells, and the crisp sound spread throughout the town.

"The rising wind has dispersed and the strong wind has arrived."

After people know that Gale Season is coming, they will strengthen their doors, windows and houses to prepare for the strong winds and heavy rains of Gale Season.

The orange-red Ti Wolf that once roamed the mountains and fields disappeared. They either lost their Aspect Power and their hair faded to the usual gray-brown color, or because of their weakened strength, they lost to their opponents in subsequent battles and were easily bitten by the throat and locked to death in the grass.

Dandelions are stained with faint "Vaulted Sky" Aspect Power in the wind, and they all bloom. The white seeds are scattered into the wind and float into the sky. They will go to various places with the wind, and can reach as far as Cloud Sea to a distant foreign continent.

Antelopes run and jump between grasslands and mountains. Their speed becomes faster and faster, and they can even leap several meters into the air. It is difficult for any hunter to catch up with them. During this season, they will breed in large numbers and their hair will turn gray.

So people would call this period "Wind Antelope Festival", a grazing festival when grass and trees grow and cattle and sheep are everywhere.

Dark Mist Mountains, Lantern Town.

Sylutia was wearing a white skirt, standing on the inner tower of the town, looking at the rolling airflow at the end of the sky, causing the dark clouds that had been covering the whole day to crack open a few gaps, and occasionally bring out tiny pieces of light.

"Gale Season is coming, Tia." Gran and several first-term students walked up the stairs and came behind Sylutia.

"Yeah." The girl nodded softly and then asked.

"How prepared are the wind protection measures in the station?"

"Currently, the craftsmen have strengthened the structure. Overall, the problem is not big." Rachel replied, and then the scholar Gran on the side added a few more words.

"In the early days of the establishment of our town, we took into account the strong winds of the Dark Mist Mountains, so the various building indicators were much higher."

"The biggest impact may be that transportation teams will become more difficult."

"In the past, it was almost once a month. Later, it might take February to March. During the storm season, it might take more than half a year to get there."

"That's it..." Sylutia thought about the impact of this situation.

"How is the current stockpile of supplies? If the transportation team doesn't come, how long can it last at the longest?"

"We have enough food, water, and most things, and we can even produce more of them ourselves, but a few things, such as salt, fuel, and exercise materials, will be in short supply."

"Actually, it's not us who are in danger, but the frontline strongholds in the Dark Mist Mountains."

"Whenever the wind season changes, the environment of World of Shadows will also change. Surface Continent will sink, and World of Shadows will also touch deeper Dark Abyss."

"At that time, new resource output will appear, but more monsters will fall from the Twilight Sea into World of Shadows."

"In that case, the defense system also needs to be strengthened." Sylutia thought about what would happen if a monster attacked the town.

"Yes."

"You first check the various buildings in the town to see if they can all be reinforced. Then we will think of ways to improve the town's defense resistance."

"Yes."

After everyone responded, they gradually left.

The tower became quiet again. Sylutia looked at the rolling clouds on the sky, raised his finger lightly, and a blurred card appeared.

"Autumn Garden(Basic stage)"

The circular open space in the card is made of moss stones and water channels, and the inside is covered with soft soil. Currently, the stone bricks inside have been neatly spliced, and the clear water in the water channels is also flowing slowly.

After some time, about two weeks, she can start the second step, transplanting the plants.

In the following days, heavy clouds continued to roll in the sky, until one day, suddenly the dark clouds sank and heavy rain began to fall.

The raindrops as big as beans kept beating, hitting the glass of the window, leaving light traces of water, and then flowing into the ditches on the ground.

Such raindrops are full of Distortion polluting toxins, making the glass more fragile, and the sewage also worsens the environment.

If this continues, the glass in the greenhouse may not be able to hold up for long, and Sylutia can't help but worry.

In order to avoid a large amount of glass damage, the students in the town used the remaining straw from the harvest to cover the surface of the greenhouse and try to guide the water flow from the straw to reduce the erosion of the glass. In order to prevent the straw from corroding and soaking and failing, the students had to replace it once a day.

In this way, the heavy rain lasted for five days before gradually weakening and dissipating.

After it was over, Sylutia and the others took stock of the glass damaged by corrosion, repaired the holes in the greenhouse, and then restored it.

"Now is just the beginning of Gale Season. There will be more and more heavy rains in the future." Many students are worried.

"In other words, we must either close the greenhouse or find better resistant materials." Sylutia analyzed.

"Higher-level glass..." Unfortunately, she is currently focusing on building the core Courtyard, and cannot devote time and energy to studying the ratio of glass spirit liquid.

"We can only ask other organizations within the Association for help. If they are willing to help, it is worth paying some compensation."

"I will write a letter and report it to superior the Association." The scholar on the side nodded.

A week later, the First Order section of Sylutia's "Autumn Garden" was ready, and the plants were transplanted.

The first one is of course her most compatible one and her favorite "Cornflower".

Numerous Cornflower seeds were sprinkled around the canal, began to sprout and grow, and then sprouted green buds.

Then these Cornflower were spread around the water channel, and gradually bloomed. Blue flowers of different shades bloomed, exuding a light clear atmosphere, adding a touch of vitality to the card surface.

It's not that difficult, Sylutia thought to herself. After Cornflower felt that it had stabilized, she added a second plant, a third plant, and a fourth plant.

When the sixth plant "Golden Pear" was added, she began to feel a little difficult, because every time a plant was added, it was equivalent to adding one more change to the environment and doubling the difficulty.

If the difficulty was 1 when adding Cornflower, then the difficulty is now 32.

The girl pressed her fingers lightly on the card, feeling the delicate changes in it, and then put in the seventh plant "White Camellia Flower" again.

The seventh type took a little more time, the eighth type was okay, the ninth type was a bit convoluted and took more time, the tenth type was a bit troublesome, and the eleventh type required thinking about planning various plants to free up space.

The twelfth type, after planning again for a while, found a suitable opportunity, Sylutia put "Purple Jellyfish Mushroom" in. The mushroom with "Mycelial Thread" Aspect Power grew quietly in the corner covered by moss and stone.

Just consider it done.

After seeing Courtyard who had finished planting the plants, Sylutia breathed a sigh of relief. It had only been 2 months since she took the first step to build the core competency card.
