Chapter 353

Episode 353: Left eye won’t open (1)

“Is this where people live...?”



It’s been two days since I set foot in the Norda region in earnest.

The Deathbringer, clad in a fur cape, trembled. Even though I was dressed in layers that were two or three times the thickness of my limbs, it still seemed cold.

“Hey, give me a blessing.”

“...You will be the only one who asks me to give you a blessing.”

“I look like I’m going to die right now, do you care?”

Meister was having a hard time just as much as the Deathbringer was.

If Erutalc had not given him a warming spell and Daniel and the Inquisitor took turns blessing him, he would have been stretched out on his horse.

“Does it make sense that the weather is such that horses can’t travel?...”

“Even in the desert, horses couldn’t travel.”

“There was a camel instead!”

“Instead, I heard that people ride reindeer or dog sleds in this region. “The horses of the unicorn lineage are also traveling safely.”

“Ah, I really mean to just understand.”

However, I can understand their singing voice. Even I, who received the divine protection, thought, ‘Huh? I often feel like ‘the temperature seems to be falling like a stock graph?’, but what about those people who don’t even have God’s protection?

“There are a lot of stones under the snow. “Be careful not to stumble.”

“Oh, I understand!”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

Moreover, this land is not just a cold place. It was a place where it snowed so heavily that the snow piled up to your shins.

Also, when it comes to marching, snow does not simply testify to the cold. When it’s piled up shallowly, it’s just another obstacle that feels slippery and when it’s piled high, it gives you a feeling of resistance when going over it.

“If you’re having a hard time, it’s okay to change.”

“I’m fine, so just pay attention to the back row. “I’m scared of falling.”

In that respect, being at the forefront required a considerable amount of physical strength. This is because it takes more strength than usual to push through snow piled up to your knees with your legs.

Well, the only thing I have left is a strong body, so I didn’t feel like it was very difficult.

“It’s this cold at the beginning of the Norda region, but I have no idea how cold it will be at the end of the world....” “

...Isn’t the container I took out to drink water frozen there?”

“I don’t think boiling the water will help.”

I used my sword to spread the snow on both sides. “If you boil it, it will freeze faster.” In the meantime, an image of hot water being sprayed in a temperature of -30 degrees runs through my mind.

“yes?”

“I don’t know the exact principle, but I know that hot water freezes faster. So, I think it would be better to give up the idea of heating drinking water.”

As soon as I sprayed it in the air, the water froze instantly, I guess? I don’t remember the name, but looking at the effect and what it was, it seems like it was a scientifically established phenomenon.

“Is it true?”

“okay.”

Of course, if the end of the world were somewhere like the North Pole, this phenomenon would not have much meaning. What does it matter whether it’s warm water or cold water? Everyone would freeze equally below -450 degrees.

“Was it like that in your hometown?”

“...It’s a little strange when you say it like that. However, it was a wisdom that had been passed down since ancient times. I don’t think it’s any different here. “Because the concept of thermodynamics seemed to be common.”

“okay? This is quite interesting...”

Crispy.

I stopped walking, worried that the group might become confused. The toes of my boots, where I was walking through the snow, have a little bit of soggy dirt on them.

“Let’s talk next time we stand.”

“You and I have different perspectives on earning money.”

“You can stand up when I stand up.”

“This is ridiculous. Did you leave your conscience in the south?”

I looked at it and snapped my fingers. Grumbling. Flames rose at my feet and continued for tens of meters. It was a fire that burned the accumulated snow and revealed the hidden land.

“Adventurer?”

“kyung?”

The two people who noticed Magi’s movements first tilted their heads like meerkats.

Instead of answering, I slightly stepped aside. The land before us was a swamp covered in a thin layer of ice.

“...I guess I should go back.”

“I will find the edge. wait.”

This is why you can’t use fireworks in vain. I went around melting all the snow around me, assessing the amount of horsepower. The swamp was unnecessarily large, so it took quite some time to find the way.

“If I had known this would happen, I would have brought a guide.”

“I’m sorry... I thought it would be better to go into the Norda region and save it.”

“Don’t apologize to me. “Isn’t that something everyone agreed on?”

Instead of stroking the sullen Inquisitor’s head, I pushed a candy into his slim cheek. I can’t help but lose breast fat, but I don’t want to allow the calories consumed due to the cold to dry out my cheeks even more.

“Thank you so much.”

“okay. Take it you too.”

The Inquisitor who stiffly thanks you every time is cute.

With a happy heart, I gave candy to the others. The reason favoritism is bad is that it applies not only when raising children, but also when dealing with colleagues.

“thank you.”

“How much candy did you buy?”

“Thank you.”

“Come out.”

Of course, there is also a bit of confidence mixed in with this action. Anyway, no matter who comes out, will I be the one to suffer? Whoever is targeting me will be the one to attack.

“If you come out now, I won’t touch you.”

I picked up the longsword from my waist in place of the two-hender, which I got rid of because it was cumbersome due to the cloak. The newly protruding blade of the cloak split the light reflected in the snow, scattering thousands of lights. It was whiter than pure silver.

“I don’t recommend it twice.”

Okay, so when is it going to pop out? To be honest, I don’t think it will stick out.

After a little thought, I put down the reins. “If someone tries to attack you, kick them.” Frederick purred at the advice he had been given. It seemed like it meant something like, “Why are you saying something so obvious?”

Crack.

Anyway, I heard one head is really good. I lightly stroked the back of Frederick’s neck and approached the cabin where I could feel his presence. The door was locked, but it wasn’t a big problem.

Crack!

The moment I applied a little force, the door came right off.

“Huh!”

At the same time, a strange sound came from inside. Uddangtangtang! The noise of smashing things while running away was a bonus.

Creak!

Anyway, the sound of my second footsteps coincided with the sound of the back door opening.

And when I took the fourth step, the Deathbringer’s voice rang out along with a loud rolling sound. “Gotcha!” The joy of success in overpowering was evident behind the voice.

“Did you catch it?”

“yep.”

I slowly crossed the room and headed toward the back door. However, a wooden board that was closer in size to a window than a door blocked me. It was an exit that involved lifting upwards.

“hmm.”

I couldn’t use the previous concept because of Gao, but it’s probably okay now.

Even though it was a little ungainly, I crumpled slightly and went through the hole. In the process, I had to bend my waist completely, but it wasn’t impossible at all.

“Please save me for a moment—”

“Oh, don’t be scared, don’t be scared. “I have no intention of killing him yet.”

Anyway, while I was croaking out, the Deathbringer was in the process of tightly tying up the person he had captured. The opponent may have been caught by surprise by jumping from the roof, but he was completely crushed by the Deathbringer.

“But if I show up uncooperatively, I might get in trouble too.”

“Please just save me...”

“Oh my, you seem to want to live a lot, my friend. Then answer me. “Are you alone here?”

“That...”

“Can you hear the sound of your head rolling?”

Deathbringer, who had completely tied the opponent’s hands, suddenly grabbed the blade. It was not simply a case of pulling the sword out of its sheath, but rather stabbing the tip of the sword into the opponent’s neck.

“...!”

The sound of me gasping for breath reached my ears.

“Now wait a minute.”

“Not for a moment. say. Are you alone? Or is there more?”

As his life was in danger, the opponent urgently shouted for time, but it was okay. The Deathbringer did not respond and instead pressed his sword harder. It was a century in which we had not yet seen blood, but if we went any further, we would be able to see blood.

“There is! there is!”

“good. “Then where are they?”

“That’s...”

“Hesitating?”

“different! “It’s somewhere else!!”

Aside from this, an unhesitating death threat is a very effective negotiation tool. Realizing that fact again, I stood upright two steps away. It was a distance where one could immediately intervene in whatever the oppressed person did.

“location.”

“It’s not far from here.”

“direction.”

“This way!”

But where is he pointing now? Isn’t that the direction Meister and Daniel went?

“...lily.”

“Let’s go.” “I’ll leave the rest to you.”

“Please have mercy. I will never do anything strange. Please just save me...”

I would have been relieved if the Inquisitor and Erutalc had gone in the same direction. I don’t know about Erutalc, but an Inquisitor is definitely not skilled enough to be attacked by surprise.

But Daniel and Meister are a little different. It is certainly true that Daniel is a capable person, but it is not true if he has the strength to deal with any variables that arise.

What’s more, there is a meister next to him who is like a birthday boy.

“Who did you say killed? Stay still. “I’m just going to tie more rope.”

I would have been less worried if Daniel had been alone, but will Daniel be able to fight and protect the Meister? I wrapped my legs in magic while wondering about him.

“Take care of Frederick too.”

“yep.”

My body made a booming sound and jumped into the sky.

“Did I fly?!”

“Yes. So don’t even think about making fun of me. I’m really upset.”

“I thought something like that could only be done by a great warrior...”

The target was four figures in one mass.
