Chapter 399: Problems in Paradise (2/2)
”[Goblin] Young Master, allow me to explain.” Taking the opportunity that finally they moved on from the orc's delicate issue, Glohn took the reins and spoke up. ”[Goblin] Let me start with a question. What did you see and experience when you arrived on this plane, Young Master?”
”[Goblin] Hmm…” Turning towards the doorway, Aiden looked out towards the distant skies. It was one giant piece of clear, light blue canvas. There were no smudges anywhere his eyes could see or scan the horizon.
”[Goblin] I… Clear, sunny?” He responded, after pondering on it a bit more.
”[Goblin] Exactly! That's right Young Master!” Glohn nodded agreeing with his Lord's remark wholeheartedly before starting his explanation.
”[Goblin] There is no such thing as 'weather' in this place, Young Master. During the daytime, it is clear, sunny, with this constant warm, summer-like temperature. At nights, it turns a couple of degrees cooler, with the occasional cold breeze coming from the riverside.”
He paused for a second, looking at his Young Master with a serious expression.
”[Goblin] While this is fine for the time being, it does make farming, amongst many other things completely impossible. While nobody likes the dread of winters, we do need some changing weather… Rains, fogs, windy, colder days, summers, winters, autumns, and even springs… Not just for us but for the local wildlife as well.”
Aiden was silent for a while, deep in thought, pondering about what Glohn has just explained to him.
Memories of his short school days back in the modern world resurfaced, he tried to think back about how a healthy ecosystem actually worked.
He remained silent for several minutes. Glohn and the rest didn't dare to bother him, as the occasional twitches and changes of his expression revealed that he was most likely processing the eldest goblin's words.
Eventually, after almost ten minutes of silence, the haze cleared from his gaze, his lips parting as he spoke.
”[Goblin] Okay, I think I understand what you meant. I think I can actually help with that…”
His words caused a wave of shock to spread in the crowd of elders. Though this was indeed a huge problem for the future, for the time being they didn't expect any resolution to it. At best, they wanted to wait it out and keep a look at the weather and keep researching it. After a year or so, they planned to revisit the matter and if there were no other ideas, they planned to scout out the surrounding lands if there were some other, better places out there.
However, it seemed that there might be something to have this resolved. The Young Lord, the Master of this plane seemed to have more surprises under his belt. Several elders' eyebrows creased, pondering gazes soon replaced the shocked, stunning looks.
Could his power be transcending what normally would be possible? Could he may be… No. That is impossible! Many shook their heads, even thinking about such an outrageous thought was blasphemy, many feared that a bolt of lightning would strike them from the skies!
”[Goblin] Y-young Master…” Amidst the stunned crowd, it was Gob who actually managed to gather the courage to speak up and ask for a bit more information on what he could have possibly meant. ”…Could you please… could you please explain in a bit more detail what do you mean? How could you help us in this matter?”
Not really bothering about the astounded crowd, Aiden simply shrugged his shoulders as he calmly explained.
”[Goblin] As I have already mentioned, I do have some sort of power over this domain. After all, it was created by me.” He said, adding a thought to it mentally. 'Well, by the system, but that's not important right now.”
”[Goblin] You see…”
