Chapter 114

A fox as white as snow.

It wasn’t too big, just a little bigger than a dog. Euril was able to quickly seize the fox by the side and set it down.

The two voluminous tails wagging on both sides are quite cute.

‘… … What.’

It wasn’t cute at all.

the name is awesome

“I was shocked.”

I forcibly lifted it up and dropped it, but the fox just quietly looked up at Euril.

“Why doesn’t he freeze… … ?”

“I didn’t even use magic.”

“cute.”

lively.

Euril slowly reached out and stroked her fluffy tail. The fox did not run away.

And, bang!

“I got it!”

“… … Yeah? why?”

“Aren’t you going to eat it?”

I was startled and shuddered, but Euril asked me why I was asking something obvious.

Do you think you shouldn’t eat that?

“Ki-ing!”

“Stay still.”

At the same time, the fox, held up by its two tails, struggled. cute.

“Can’t you eat foxes?”

“Uh, um. Since they are omnivorous, they may have parasites.”

“I got it very easily… … .”

“Let go for now.”

Euril put the fox down with a voice full of regret.

I won’t be angry or upset.

The fox’s tail drooped as it descended back to the ground. Fortunately, that was all.

“I am not running away.”

The fox, which I thought would run away, was looking back at me from a little distance in the direction I was going. At this point, it was necessary to clarify the facts.

“Hey, Euril.”

“yes?”

“Did I mention I saw a fairy?”

“It did?”

Deep underground in the Menlua Desert. The story of meeting a fairy who taught humans fire magic.

At that time, Euril, who had already said she would believe everything I said, narrowed her eyes.

“That fox is a fairy.”

“uh… … ?”

“I got that lantern from a llama, so it tells me where the fairies are.”

I still can’t see anything from Auril’s re-picked lantern, but Auril’s gaze tells me that there is a path there.

At the end of the line of sight is a fox.

“Hey, maybe a fairy… … ?”

It was before I even finished talking.

Whoops! Suddenly, white snowflakes rose from the gaps in the grass in the meadow. In the place where the snowstorm that once wrapped around the fox like a whirlwind disappeared.

“Ugh.”

A silver-haired girl, just like Euril, stood there, dressed in a fur coat as cozy as that of a pure white fox.

“… … Follow.”

I can hardly hear the whispering voice. The protruding mouth seemed dissatisfied no matter how you looked at it.

Is it because it treats food?

“The fox became a human.”

“I’m talking.”

“It looks like me.”

Just like I thought that after about 10 years, Aini would look like a llama.

It looked exactly like what Auril would have looked like ten years ago.

Aside from the same silver hair, her features, voice, and demeanor reminded her of Euril.

“Iknow, right. I want you to follow me.”

“Okay, let’s go quickly.”

A mysterious thing that I had only heard about every day was unfolding before my eyes, and Euril urged me with an excited voice.

I don’t know where to follow you. First of all, it seems that communication is possible like a llama, so let’s talk about it.

“excuse me.”

“My name, Brea. why.”

I didn’t look back, but kindly gave me my name.

I guess I’m pissed off.

“Yes, Brea. We have to go upstream.”

“I am going there.”

“Oh yeah? thank you.”

Our eyes met slightly, but when I smiled, my head swung forward again.

The tail is wagging again. Even as a human, the tail remains.

“I guess I feel better.”

“Aha.”

A face that makes you angry when you see it!

Charm did a great job this time too.

I wondered how long I would have to walk, but unexpectedly, after about an hour, Brea quickly stopped.

I wanted to know how to go upstream without moving along the waterway, but I arrived at the valley of a hill that was a little away from the river.

“Nothing?”

“Iknow, right.”

There are quite a few trees, and the grass is just a bit thicker than other places.

So I saw Brea. I was standing there blankly, looking at the ground.

“… … This is not it.”

“Why are you like that?”

“shortcut. come after a long time It’s blocked.”

Brea squatted and tried to dig up the soil with her fern-like hands.

“Shall I sell it? I can use earth magic.”

“… … .”

Pooh!

Fortunately, the blockage was not that thick. After digging a bit, something like the entrance to a crypt appeared.

It was a small hole that Brea in the shape of a fox could freely come and go through.

If I or Euril went in, wouldn’t they get stuck?

“I don’t think you can go in?”

“I can go in.”

Brea put her arm through the hole. The arms swallowed up in the darkness have a clear boundary between the inside and the outside. It meant that it was not a simple crypt entrance.

As if to prove this, Brea pushed herself in first.

He hid himself in the pitch black darkness, and his voice was no longer heard.

‘Dimensional door?’

There was one thing that immediately came to mind about this.

[The exact location of the first stele in Liden cannot be ascertained.

This is because the moment you enter the entrance, you are transported to an independent space with a completely different environment inside and outside.

In order to open this entrance, called the ‘dimensional door’, the elders of the Sorcery Society scattered across the continent must allow entry at different places at the same time.

Because of that, the original text could be kept safe from threats for a long time… … .]

“come fast.”

“Surprise!”

Suddenly, Brea’s head popped out of the hole. After all, it’s a doorway, so you can come out from inside.

“I’ll go in first.”

“Yes.”

Can I blindly follow you?

First of all, being a fairy clearly shows up in your status.

Considering the blood and artifacts she received from Rama, a positive feeling is overlaid on the fairies.

Anyway, since I have an inseparable relationship with the fairy, it won’t change even if I try to ignore it now.

I closed my eyes and poked my head into the dark hole. Then I tried to look around calmly.

“stuffy.”

“Aww.”

In front of me, Brea pulled my hat and rolled it around. I guess you put the legs in first… … .

I first stood up and put out my hand with a thumb up through the hole I entered. safe.

“Ugh.”

Auril was taken off the head as well, and I received it.

“here is… … .”

“pretty.”

Now I have time to look around.

A cave with bluish light covering all sides. It was a completely different landscape from the outside, which was a meadow.

Light was pouring out of the pointed lumps everywhere, but if you look closely, it’s all ice.

I know this landscape well.

This is right upstream of the Pigtail River. It matched the background illustration I drew myself.

“It’s not cold.”

There was no significant difference in temperature from the meadow outside. Rather, the air was warm because the wind was not blowing, and it was surprising that the ice did not melt.

I didn’t expect there to be a shortcut like this, but there are too many hidden in corners that don’t appear in the game.

“here.”

Could it have been ten minutes?

There was a river where Brea, who was walking earlier, pointed. A stream of water flows below, but if you move your gaze just a little, the upper surface is frozen.

Since this river flows in the direction of the meadow, it means that not far away, the opposite stream heading to Mashu and Aindarok is frozen.

“Thanks to you, I arrived quickly.”

We reached our destination in less than an hour.

What appeared was a huge block of ice.

It was similar to the megalithic soldier that appeared in the previous northern wall, and it was rather a blue rock.

“The legend was real.”

Euril touched the ice and said.

‘The seal that imprisoned the vicious dragon is breaking over a long period of time, and one day it will suffer a great disaster.’

This legend from the script could be heard even in the royal palace. It was also a common legend among the people of Mashu.

“sure. Most legends are true. Even if people see my achievements 100 years from now, they will be legends.”

“Sure.”

Inside the ice is a dragon lying coiled like a snake.

If you look closely, you can only see part of the tail, so you don’t even know it’s a dragon, but you can tell because it’s been walking from a distance.

“The dragon that was subdued in the Confederate Front must have been a baby compared to this guy. It is written that it was about 6m.”

“Then, is it because of the use that the river water is frozen?”

There are only two of them, but they are definitely an investigation team. I diligently recorded the surroundings with the video recorder in my backpack.

But that’s just what’s needed. After properly recording the frozen dragon and the cave area, the mana was cut off.

“Rox!”

“What did you find?”

A moment later, Auril’s voice was heard. It seems that I finally found it.

Opposite the frozen dragon, in the corner of the cave, there was a space that looked like a small room.

“… … It was because of this.”

A straight altar two spans long.

The round crystal on top was broken, and traces of something flowing down reached the river heading southwest.

[ITEM]

[Winter Snow]

: The heart of the dragon that tried to freeze the world.

A cold chill freezes everything around. The dragon’s blood is leaking through the cracks.

Its true identity is the dragon’s heart.

This is the legendary sword that can defeat the evil demon king.

If you pick it up and break it in the final battle, it will turn the whole area into a secret land of snow and ice, just like the white jade.

It is the only tool that can reduce the power of the final boss, Ainim von Rongrt, and create an environment suitable for battle.

“Ugh, I can’t even get close.”

“Oh, wait.”

And of course.

Since the seal is broken, just going near it will envelop you in a tremendous cold air. It’s a glove and it’s of no use whatsoever.

There is only one person in this world who can be touched.

“Can I freeze it again… … ?”

“I’ll keep the necklace for a while just in case.”

“yes.”

It freezes everything it touches, but what flows from the broken crystal is liquid.

The moment I received the necklace from Auril.

“… … What is that?”

Brea, who had been silently watching, opened her mouth. It was the first time Auril had been hiding it under his clothes.

Do you know because they are the same fairy?

“This one?”

“No way, it’s Rama’s blood… … ?”

“You know right away.”

swish

Brea suddenly stretched out her hand. I was able to stop it simply by raising my arm upwards.

I jumped and jumped with a pitiful face, but I couldn’t reach it.

“profit.”

“No. It is precious.”

“Lend me. All you have to do is lend it.”

“What are you going to do?”

It was meant to be fun to tease.

It was because tears like chicken droppings were dripping from her weeping eyes.

“no. You don’t even have to lend it. you do it.”

“What do you want me to do?”

“That ice.”

Brea pointed the other way.

Giant dragon frozen ice.

You mean melt that? Are you crazy?

“I can melt it.”

“To destroy mankind?”

“no! Skadi is. He is my friend.”

Brea shook her head vigorously.

The voice got smaller and smaller.

“… … Already dead.”
