In the areas where the light spread, the temperature dropped sharply. The scorching heat was replaced by a refreshing chill.
The residents stared at the statue in disbelief.
“This feels nice and cool! That statue is really something!”
“It feels so refreshing!”
“How is this possible?”
The rich people could afford to buy appliances to make ice to cool themselves in the summer, but ordinary people had no such luxury.
The blue light enveloped the territory and adjusted the temperature. Everyone could enjoy the drop in temperature in this scorching heat.
Many residents came out of their houses to see what the commotion was about. They were delighted to find a statue that adjusted the temperature to make the heat bearable.
When they found out that Lord Su Wan had made this happen, they rejoiced.
“Long Live the Lord!”
The air was filled with praises for Su Wan.
Su Wan looked at the crowd in front of her and smiled.
The three most precious things in a hot summer were the air conditioner, watermelons, and iced cola.
Su Wan didn’t have a workshop that could mass produce iced drinks, but she could replace them with iced wine instead.
The air conditioner was taken care of. She had acres upon acres of land that could be used to cultivate watermelons.
The only regret was that she didn’t have a department in her territory dedicated to arts and entertainment.
However, the excitement and praises of the residents made up for anything that was lacking.
Su Wan looked at the Ice Elf Statue. The blue light condensed into the shadow of a beautiful woman with wings on her back. The residents were in awe of it.
The wings on the figure’s back were carved out of ice. It looked like a fairy from the myths and legends.
Su Wan was just glad that the statue had other uses. It could summon snow spirits during battle!
Su Wan wanted to give it a try. She summoned the snow spirits. Moments after, the blue light surged and condensed. A hundred snow spirits appeared in the air.
The snow spirits looked around at the territory and the people in it. They flew down to the ground and watched the residents whisper among themselves.
The residents liked the snow spirits. They talked and teased these lifeforms. The snow spirits flapped their wings and played along.
A chubby snow spirit flew toward Su Wan. It tilted its face and looked at her closely.
The tip of its nose twitched. It then flew to Su Wan, wrapped its arms around her, and rubbed its face on her cheek.
Soon, the other snow spirits saw this and did the same. They flew toward Su Wan and wrapped their arms around her.
Su Wan was stumped. It took a lot of effort to free herself.
She looked at the chaotic scene and felt a headache coming.
She instructed them to stand in a line and picked a snow spirit to be the leader.
Although they looked like small children with wings and had the intelligence of a baby, the leader understood and ordered its companions to form a line. The chaos died down a little.
A system notification appeared.
[Comfort and happiness in the territory have increased!]
Su Wan didn’t know how far she’d have to increase the favorability of the territory, but she knew that a new skill would be unlocked when the Lord reached a new level. She was looking forward to that.
Unfortunately, increasing the favorability and comfort in the territory wasn’t easy. It became even more difficult with the increase in each level.
Su Wan looked at the Ice Elf Statue. She was particularly interested in one specific ability.
[Ice-Sealing Shield: Form a shield to protect the entire territory.]
[Duration: 1 hour]
[Cooldown Time: 24 hours. Mana can be injected into the statue to extend the duration of the shield.]
Su Wan frowned. She noticed that the Dark Enchanter had followed her quietly.
“Could you go outside the city walls? Please wait for my orders. I want to check something.”
Eve nodded and left.
Su Wan activated the Ice-Sealing Shield. The statue emitted a biting cold aura. The energy surged and surrounded the city walls.
The ice grew rapidly around the territory. The shield was made of ice. It covered the whole territory like a dome.
The sun shone on the ice dome, scattering and fragmenting the light. It was beautiful to look at!
Su Wan was intrigued. She wondered how strong the shield was.
She instructed the Dark Enchanter to attack the shield with her strongest move.
A moment later, a powerful magic collided with the shield. The earth shook.
The magic dispersed. Su Wan could see cracks beginning to form on the shield. Another attack would shatter it completely. The shield that was supposed to last for an hour shattered after 20 minutes because of the attack. Su Wan realized that the shield could only withstand three strong spells at most..
