Chapter 108

“My arm doesn’t move very well.”

“Move a little and you’ll be fine. This fabric is new… … .”

“You do it like this?”

“It’s a place where even that is not enough.”

I received clothes from the royal castle, but it was not something I could wear alone. It took 30 minutes to get dressed even with the help of the maid of honor, Shale.

“I’m glad I’m a wizard.”

waddling. took a few steps

The limbs were not properly bent. He wore several layers of thick clothes, covered with soft fur on the inside and out.

I looked in the mirror and saw that four logs were messing around. It looked like he was wearing a thick hat that covered his entire face, leaving only his eyes exposed.

“Thank you anyway. It’s so hot right now that I can’t breathe.”

Since we were heading to the coldest place in Mashu, we had to be prepared.

Euril doesn’t get cold at all even if she wears clothes made of ice, so there’s no need to worry, and I was the problem.

“There are also caveats.”

“I will listen.”

“It shouldn’t be difficult for you to start a fire since you’re a wizard, but maintaining it is another matter.”

It is said that there are frequent snowstorms.

Even if it was possible to cope with it to some extent with wind magic, it could not block the raging blizzard all day long.

“It is charcoal made from oak trees that have survived Mashu’s harsh winter. One thumb-sized stick burns for two hours.”

“Oh, I will put it to good use.”

“This is Aizen. Be careful not to get your feet buried in the deep snow. There are not a few places where it has accumulated more than 1m.”

“thank you.”

“And this sleeping bag can blow air inside… … .”

“It’s good.”

The necessary items were planned to be obtained by going around the market, but they were all available in the highest quality at the castle.

“Also, if you brew this tea leaf and drink it, ghosts won’t stick to it… … .”

“Isn’t that superstition?”

but what a lot

Looking at it, there were some things that were not essential, so I had to persuade Shale to take them out.

Even though the luggage was a little heavy, it didn’t matter much since I was going to ride a horse-drawn carriage for a long time to the north anyway.

“Good luck.”

“I’ll come and fix it soon.”

11 am.

He personally left the palace while receiving Keljian’s send-off. As he waddled down the hill, a horse-drawn chariot of the royal family was waiting.

“Can’t Auril wear plain clothes?”

Of course, wearing thick clothes is enough for me alone.

By the way, Euril was wearing a thick coat that she often wore. I couldn’t see it well because my head couldn’t turn to the side because of the thick balaclava, which was almost 10 cm thick.

“Stay still.”

“yes?”

Inside the wagon that has just started to move. I felt that Auril’s voice was getting closer.

“What do you think?”

“I’m sleeping and I can’t feel anything. It’s been like this since before, but it’s hot.”

Wearing uncomfortably warm clothes, I felt like I was going to sweat from the moment I came down the stairs in the castle.

“What if?”

A light weight hit my shoulder.

I can tell from the silver hair peeking through the fur at the end of the hat.

Auril came right next to me and leaned her head on my shoulder.

I seem to be sweating a bit now.

“But does it mean anything? I can’t even see Euryl’s face.”

“just. I wanted to try.”

“okay.”

The horse-drawn carriage ran towards the north.

[CURRENT EPISODE]

X. never ending winter

– 2. Permafrost

: There is a land called White Jade. It is forbidden that living things lose their color when they touch the demon of the white land.

To investigate White Jade, gather enough information from the nearby area.

“Hey, everything behind that mountain.”

“Yeah. Even the mountains in Aindarok are covered in some snow.”

Three days have passed.

The mountain ranges towering high as if piercing the sky through the clouds are all white.

It is a spectacle that looks beautiful at first glance from a distance, but the name Baekok is frightening.

White Hell.

It was a monstrous mountain in its own right, swallowing all living things that entered it in the white snow.

“The river really froze.”

Euril looked out and said.

I was able to find it simply because I was running on a road along the river.

Pigtail River.

In the western part of Cotton, the river that used to irrigate agriculture was completely frozen over.

Although the scale was not so large, it was a big blow to Mashu, who already had a small production volume.

“This is the section that can be moved by horse-drawn carriage.”

“You worked hard.”

The chained wheel stopped after stepping on the frozen ground for a long time.

After passing through the last village, a road appeared that was no longer a road. It was a road that a horse-drawn carriage could not climb.

“I have to walk up from now on.”

“Are you okay?”

“Even if I’m like this. Suck!”

He got off the wagon, put the crampons in his feet, and carried the heavy load on his back.

It is quite heavy because there are many things that Shale has packed. After lifting it up with evil.

“I work out hard.”

“Yeah, you should be able to see the front.”

My back has become very humble.

It must have been because Euril was a princess. When I raised my head, I could see ahead.

“It’s okay, right… … ?”

“sure.”

I corrected my posture. In the previous episode, your health has risen to level 5.

Certainly, it deserves to be said to be compliant at around 5th level. It was a bit difficult when I first heard it, but it wasn’t hard until I moved. I’m not very pressed for time, and if it’s hard, I can take a break.

After sending the horse-drawn carriage to the village, I remembered something I had forgotten.

“Because my body is stiff because of my clothes. Auril ties the rope.”

“okay.”

Even in modern times, when exploring these polar mountains, two people tie a rope. This is to prevent falls.

There are definitely events that will make your eyes go dark. It’s not necessarily open, but it needs to be done.

“Where is the ring?”

“Isn’t it in the front? Did you go back?”

“Wait a minute, raise your arm.”

“Yep.”

There is a hook that can be hung on a metal attachment near the waist. It must have turned backwards while riding in the wagon.

Euril, who was groping behind my waist to find the ring, stayed still for a while.

“You haven’t found it yet?”

“Are you cold now?”

“You don’t feel anything?”

It was an uncomfortably thick garment. It was the same when I was in the car, but if I didn’t come close enough, I wouldn’t even know that Euril was coming close.

“It’s still a long way to go up to Baekok, but if it’s already cold… … .”

prison.

Suddenly, Euril grabbed my waist with both arms.

“… … Is it cold?”

“A lot of?”

“A little creepy.”

“Then bear with it.”

Oops.

Now I don’t worry too much about my health. The clothes are thick, so I don’t feel much. it’s just cold

“… … I could hug you.”

“Iknow, right. sniff.”

Although it seems like a runny nose will come out instead of sweating. Anyway, it seems to be one. Euril had been hugging me like that for a long time.

After putting the ring on, something else was falling from Auril’s eyes, who took a step back.

“No, why are you crying?”

“What do we do.”

The eyes looking up are pretty.

“It was nice just to be by your side. I keep getting greedy.”

Hee hee, I replied to Euril who laughed like an idiot.

“People say that when you stand, you want to sit, when you sit, you want to lie down, and when you lie down, you want to sleep.”

“I guess I am human too.”

“sure.”

After wiping her eyes with her clothes, Euril stepped forward first. The road there is wide, but what to do. I quickly followed and walked side by side.

Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean animals and plants don’t live there.

Herbs that only grow in extreme environments, and rare animals that only live in this area. The rarer you go, the more precious things are found.

“Oh, is that the fox?”

“Yes.”

I see a white fox running through the coniferous forest. If caught, at least 70,000 G.

I mean, people live here.

After going up the road for a while, I saw a small village with less than twenty buildings huddled together. The whole scenery of the village was captured at a glance.

It is a village of hunters and herbalists.

“There are people.”

“Let’s go ask some questions.”

The man who was trimming arrowheads in the yard was shirtless even in sub-zero temperatures. The protruding veins above the muscles were clearly visible.

“hello.”

“Yes?”

kang!

The man whose entire face was covered in hair stopped the hammer he was striking and narrowed his eyes.

“Judging by the way he looks, he doesn’t seem like a hunter.”

“Yes, the investigation team.”

“… … You mean two people?”

“It is a wizard.”

“A wizard. Now the fire is barely burning in the instep. They didn’t even pretend to listen when they spoke, only two of them! her!”

The man burst into laughter.

There was no reason to make a fuss, so both I and Euril covered their faces tightly. It was common in this kind of weather.

“Look. Hearing your voice, you seem young. Wouldn’t it be better to go back without rushing?”

“I have received the king’s name.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

kang!

“As a courtesy, let it dry once. You have to stretch your legs out to sleep. Do whatever you want.”

I stood still and waited.

The man turned his gaze back to the arrowhead, hit it with a hammer, and repeated the series of grinding with a whetstone.

After standing like that for about a minute, the man opened his mouth again.

“What are you doing standing there? there is no one to stop Go up.”

“I need help.”

“Help.”

I met the eyes of the man who raised his head slightly. he grinned.

“You seem to know that life is precious.”

visor!

The man who tossed a well-forged arrowhead into the box beckoned.

“Wait.”

The man came out of the yard and banged on the door of the house across the street that was closed.

“Heather!”

“Oh, oh!”

There was a crackling sound, and then the door burst open.

Another middle-aged man, dressed roughly in pants, jumped out hastily, holding a sword in his hand.

“Where, where are you! Is that the damn bear again?”

“No, I am a guest.”

“Guest… … ?”

Compared to the man servicing arrowheads, the middle-aged man holding a sword was not very tall.

But you could tell by the sharp impression and the tight muscles in his hands. He is talented.

“Oh, then wake me up quietly! You were surprised!”

“Get dressed and come out.”

“Guests are crazy… … .”

After one look around, Tsk, Heather clicked her tongue and went back into the room.

“Who is that?”

“He’s an herbalist.”

“You seem to know how to use a sword.”

“I have the skills to catch a bear. Well, he was once a knight. Hehe, believe it or not.”

When he came out again, he seemed to be well-dressed.

Heather glanced over here and shook her head.

“Can you make me stop being the grim reaper? What are the two of you?”

“A wizard might be different.”

“Wizard?”

Hwareuk!

Since I was wearing gloves, I created sparks well above my hands. Auril is also a wizard, but he is not good at magic.

“Hmm, yes. Judging by the appearance, it doesn’t seem like it came in the right way.”

“Are you helping me?”

“Help me, I’m going to work.”

“As hunters, we don’t go very deep, but herbalists go deeper than that.”

The journey started smoothly.

“Follow.”

Heather was a guide.
