Episode 110

“You said you were going back?”

“That is… … .”

He stepped into the white snow field and said. Heather was still guarding the front.

“The weather is still nice, so the view is wide. As far as I can go… … .”

“I bet the princess isn’t so narrow-minded.”

“This, this is purely my will.”

It swishes its arms and moves forward in rapid strides. Auril and I also smiled and followed behind.

Podeuk. Podeuk.

The sun is still up in the middle of the sky, and the steps through the snow are unstoppable. It is still a serene and beautiful snowfield.

“I came to inspect the Pigtail River, but I can’t see it.”

“I can’t go there. There is only one river in this vast land, so there are many animals. After a year, they’ll die of starvation, but these days, even the village is full of beasts.”

“Was the bear talking about that?”

“okay. Crawling around last night too, I was surprised. Twice as tall as a person.”

The Pigtail River froze over, and numerous animals of the snowy mountains that were on one river moved southward in search of drinking water.

A starving beast that survives in an extreme environment is just as dangerous as a monster.

“But the bear.”

I raised my finger and pointed to the right.

“ok?”

“Isn’t that him?”

I had been looking at it for a while because something whitish was wriggling.

it gets bigger

“Huh?”

Heather stretched out her neck, then screamed in surprise.

“Hey, it happened! You’re coming this way!”

“They are coming.”

“No, I don’t mind meeting you in a place like this! If you just run that way, you’ll be crushed!”

The sound of running footsteps scattering snow is not loud. However, the size of the guy who was gradually increasing in sight was not unusual.

Heather drew her sword and shouted.

“What, do something! You bastard, you’re a wizard!”

“Me?”

“What nonsense! Of course it’s you, the princess’ escort! About a bear… … .”

I shrugged.

I?

why?

“T-Wrong! Even if that’s a wizard… … .”

Plopped down, Heather fell backwards, dragging her butt.

The bear was definitely big.

Those who are usually known as wizards in the world are at most 3 or 4 stars.

Wizards who graduated from Summer Turge are a few of the elite among them, and the special hire who climbs the northern wall is one of the elite among the elite.

Since I was in Summer Turge, the people I’ve met so far are just people like that, not people you can’t easily meet.

For that reason, ordinary people who may have seen a few “fireballs” often don’t know the true magician’s combat skills. A bear like that can be made into well-minced meat with only the 3-star magic [Wind Wave].

But you don’t need that either.

“I’m not an escort.”

“What, what?”

Because this is Mashuhma.

It is a permafrost full of snow and ice everywhere.

“Euril.”

“yes.”

Quadruped!

It is because Euril, who has the personality, ‘blessing of winter’, is here.

“what… … .”

Ohhhh!

A distance of about 10 m.

The movement of the giant bear, which had been rushing at it as if it would crush Auril at any moment, stopped for a moment.

Damn, the ice that grabbed the hind legs began to climb the bear’s body like scales.

It only took 5 seconds for the ice to land on the bear’s muzzle, which was struggling with its front paws.

I said, lifting the fallen Heather up.

“The princess is my escort.”

“haha… … .”

Auril’s personality has nothing to do with magic.

It should be seen as an ability unique to Euril, which is probably unique in this worldview.

That’s why he is the only character that can stand against Ainim.

A child who will reach level 10 in the future can suppress all magic with coercive destruction, but only one.

In the first place, only Auril’s ability, which is not magic, could not be destroyed. Even if it is an inverse calculation of the imagination theory, it is the same.

“I couldn’t give you the money, but you can call the hunter and take him later. Even bear skins are expensive.”

I touched a frozen bear. The dynamism that makes you feel as if you will break the ice and jump out and swing your front foot.

It’s like watching a stuffed animal.

“cold. Don’t come any closer.”

I grabbed the back of Auril, who was slowly stepping back, and pulled.

“What is this?”

Normally, it controls the cold, but immediately after using the ability, the temperature around it drops rapidly. There is no way to stop it.

Seeing that it is difficult to breathe even with the blood of a llama, Auril’s ability seems to be intact.

“Am I an escort?”

“sure. I can’t be this strong. Here, Auril is invincible and Auril is a god.”

“I don’t know.”

Auril smiled brightly.

“That helps.”

This is why we came alone.

Even if there are more people, it will only make Aulil uncomfortable, and there are not as many monsters as in the neutral zone anyway, so the power is full with only one Aulil.

The problem is the environment.

“Shouldn’t we go back soon?”

3 p.m.

I entered Baekok and walked for about 4 hours. Now is the time for the sun to set. Heather was still leading the way, so I asked curiously.

“White jade is not so dark at night when the moonlight shines on it… … .”

“You don’t even have a sleeping bag. You didn’t bring anything else.”

“Yeah, that’s right. Mmm.”

Heather smiled shyly.

“Do you have a notepad or something? with a pen.”

“Yes.”

“Lend it to me.”

I held out the notepad and pen that I always carry with me. Heather, who had been standing and scribbling for about three minutes, returned the notepad again.

Three peaks in the distance to the right and a low hill to the left. passing coniferous forest. A winding curve across the valley.

It was a neat map that was surprisingly easy to recognize for a thick hand. I didn’t get this in the game.

“If you go to the place marked there, there is no problem until that protruding rock. The colored pigtail is the river. It’s covered in snow right now, so you can’t see it.”

“thank you. You are more capable than I thought. Even if it only revealed a little less money.”

“If two young people start a fuss about dying, anyone will stop them! It sure seems different this time. Be careful though.”

“See you later.”

Heather patted me on the back and stepped back.

When I passed Euryl, I lowered my head so hard that I couldn’t even make eye contact.

“Be careful and go back.”

“… … Yes.”

The kind-hearted Euril worried about it again. It was funny how Heather flinched and raised her right arm and flinched down.

Euril stood blankly in her seat, watching Heather’s back as she walked away.

“why?”

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen that person’s face properly… … .”

“What are you doing when you see such a small person? Just look at my face and start again.”

“yes.”

Saying that, Euril immediately turned around without regret and met my eyes.

For at least three days, I just walk without any major events. I even drew a map, so I don’t have to get lost.

Of course, I’ll keep my tension, but at least White Jade isn’t as dangerous as the Northern Neutral Zone.

“Whoa.”

Even with these thick clothes on. I can feel the cold creeping into my body little by little.

The chill creeping up from the feet is tickling. If you scratch it, you will feel cool for a while, but the solution is a symptom of eating young.

after the sun goes down when the wind blows

Baek-ok will reveal her white teeth to take away the warmth of living things in earnest.

“Should I fall… … ?”

“It has nothing to do with Euril. It’s just that it’s cold here.”

Until now, when I said that it was not cold even though it was cold, there was a bit of a lie mixed in.

But it was as it was said.

Had Auril been a normal person it would have helped a little, but it wouldn’t have made much of a difference.

“Would you like a necklace?”

“It will be rather cold.”

I shook my head.

I don’t know if we can walk with a long distance from each other, but since we’re tied with a rope, we can’t stay apart.

Then, the chill emitted by Auril is stronger than the coldness of the white jade.

“it’s okay. We’ll be camping soon anyway, so a fire would be better.”

padduk. padduk.

Gradually, the sound of stepping on ice grains instead of snow is heard. If you go a little further here, digging and camping becomes difficult.

Digging the ground with earth property magic is a story when the target is ordinary dirt. Under the ice crystals of the frozen white jade, the soil is like stone.

When the sun was completely set, I stopped moving and unpacked. As soon as Jim was put down, he collapsed almost 1m.

Frid would be good at digging a hole, but as long as it could block the wind, it was enough.

“First, start the fire… … .”

She took out the charcoal and cooking utensils Shale had brought from the side of her bag. Sprinkle the tinder roughly over the two pieces of charcoal.

Hwareuk! Use fire magic and you’re done.

The smoke is harmful, so blow it away with wind magic.

“oh. it.”

As I was taking out the ingredients one by one, Euril showed a reaction.

The energy efficiency compared to the volume is not high, so I brought only enough to eat for two people.

“Is it ramen?”

“The rest is only tasteless preserved food.”

It was not difficult to get all the ingredients from the restaurant in the palace.

Boil the water, and add the powder, which you have already ground and made into a soup, along with the noodles. It was nothing different from instant ramen.

While the noodles were cooking, he warmed himself by placing his hand near the charcoal fire.

“It’s warm now, so it’s okay?”

“Perhaps?”

Euril, who had quietly dragged her feet, lightly leaned her head.

It’s like a well-tamed cat rubbing its head when it’s still.

“I think I came to play.”

“It’s such a dangerous place.”

“Because it’s not too dangerous for me.”

“Euril is like that.”

bubbling.

It was in the middle of the day when the ramen was cooked and transferred to a bowl.

“I will protect you.”

“… … Euril is me?”

“It was like that before. Because it was called an escort.”

“It’s embarrassing.”

He held out the bowl to Euril.

If you take a large amount at once, it will quickly cool in Euril’s hands, and it was a small amount.

“If I were a princess and Euril was a prince, the picture would have come out quite a bit.”

“Hee hee, that’s right. Something is wrong. still.”

Euril, who received the bowl, stepped back from her shoulder and said.

“Even if not now. All the way.”

“Will you protect me?”

“yes.”

At the answer without hesitation, I turned around and smiled bitterly. who is protecting whom

Both of the ramen noodles were neatly emptied of the broth. After washing properly with water magic and wiping it roughly with a snowball, the dishes are finished.

It was completely dark outside now.

“I need to sleep.”

I pulled out my sleeping bag, unfolded it, and pushed myself into it. The clothes were thick, so just pushing my legs in was a chore.

I was lying side by side with Auril, looking up at the sky. Suddenly, a twinkling star passed by.

“It’s a shooting star.”

“You are pretty.”

Is one all? It’s no fun.

I’m glad I saw it though… … . I’m thinking like that. For some reason, the corners of her lips curled up.

Aha.

I had a good idea.

“But he will be very difficult.”

“why?”

“It’s on fire.”

“really?”

The reason the meteor shines is because it emits light due to friction with the atmosphere while falling. Perhaps reaching the bottom is a long way off.

Why couldn’t I have thought of it sooner?

“It’s on fire, it’s disappearing.”

It’s clearly in the not-too-distant future.

You’ve already reached the tenth episode. Five more remain.

Considering that all the remaining five episodes take at least two months, there’s still plenty of time.

still.

“Euril.”

“yes?”

“… … no. just.”

Let’s prepare in advance.

“I just called.”

I woke up early

There were too many guys to call out by name.
