Chapter 8: How boring is this

Winter, the fifth day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After leaving the witch's hut the next morning, we hurried home.

Now we desperately need a break so that we can digest the fruits of this trip.

As for the abandoned mine on the map, Akai and I agreed to go back next time.

After a day of accelerated hiking, we slowly made our way through the creeper forest without making any loud noises - hence the name.

Finally, I rushed home just before the sun was about to set.

Stepping into the house again, we have a different feeling.

Dragging our tired bodies, Akai and I went to the bedroom on the second floor as soon as we got home, and then lay down on the bed to rest.

"Ah, I'm tired." As soon as I relaxed, I lost my strength.

Akai is just like me, except that as an archer and a regular miner, his physical strength is much better than mine.

"Ahh I jumped out of bed and slapped my head.

"Huh? What's wrong? Akai looked at me quizzically.

"You rest first, I suddenly remembered that I had to go to the sheepfold to have a look, and by the way, I would take a look at Xiaobai."

I don't forget important things, and although I really want to lie down like this, there are still some things that must be done.

"Oh, go ahead, I'll continue to rest." Then Akai rolled over and lay down.

"Yo Xi, let's go check it out." I got up and walked down the stairs.

When I got to the first floor, I opened the glove box, took a few sheaves of wheat, and went out to the sheepfold.

As soon as I went out, a burst of cold air rushed towards me, and the cold was pervasive, and I tightened my clothes.

[Ahh

At this time, Xiaobai, who had just been patrolling around our house, saw me and rushed towards me.

I squatted down, touched Xiaobai's head, and motioned for Xiaobai to go into the house first.

After Xiaobai left, I walked slowly to the sheepfold to check.

There is no snow in the sky today, but there is still a slight layer of snow on the ground.

The sheepfold has now been roof and fence by me and Akai together, and it has changed from a simple fence to a spacious house today, and except for a few windows where necessary, this place is basically blocked by wind and rain, so there is no need to worry about the sheep.

When I came to the sheep house, I saw that the sheaves of wheat that Akai and I had stacked together had only eaten a small part.

It seems that I need to investigate the size of the sheep's appetite to make sure that there are no animals going hungry in the winter.

Adding the sheaves of wheat to the sheaf of wheat and watching the eight sheep gather around me, I found the two little lambs that had been born not long ago.

It's so cute!

Regardless, any animal is quite cute in its infancy.

For half an hour in the sheep house, I didn't think about anything, I didn't do anything, I just sat on the side and played with the two little lambs.

When it was almost time to go, I quit the sheep house.

Back at home, I went to the second floor, deposited the healing and anti-fire potions in the box next to my desk, sat down at the desk, picked up a quill and wrote on a blank page.

It's not a special book, it's just a compilation of information about where we are and the world.

Ever since I became a magician, in my spare time after research, I often start to organize these things, including the use of magic in my mind and my understanding of various types of magic.

Human beings are not omnipotent, and memory is always limited, so in order to prevent some inspiration from slipping out of my mind, I always record it.

Candlelight accompanies me.

―――――――― I am the dividing line of idleness――――――――

Day 2.

Akai got up from the bed in good spirits, moving his muscles.

At the same time, I was almost awake.

Although there is nothing to do in winter, not even sowing and farming, it is really torturous to be idle like this.

For me, there's still the subject of studying magic that can be sent, but Akai wasn't so lucky.

Nowadays, we don't find any chickens, so we use one less arrow at home, so Akai usually only practices with wooden sticks.

"Ahh Downstairs came Akai's scream.

"What's wrong?" I walked downstairs and asked Akai.

I saw a snowdrift in front of our house, and Akai stuck his head out of the snowdrift, and then climbed out of the snowdrift with both hands and feet.

"Phew!" Patting the remaining snow on his body, Akai walked outside to look at the roof of our house.

"What's going on? It snowed so hard last night? "I looked at the snowdrift that had just flooded Akai and walked out.

"yes, it looked like it snowed a lot last night, and we had snow all over our roof." Akai said, pointing to the thick snow on the roof.

I looked at the roof, and I had the feeling that the roof of our house was going to collapse. But I know it's just my delusion, not to mention anything else, the roof I built with my own hands, the strength of the roof I know, even if the snow is twice as thick, it can't do anything about our stone brick roof.

But relatively・・・・・・

"Hmm, the snow is so thick." The snow on the ground was up to my knees, and if we didn't clear it, we would have had a problem even going out.

"I said Xia, is there any magic that can clear the snow? Our house is so big, we can't walk at all. With great effort to lift his feet out of the snow, Akai retreated to the door.

Because I made the eaves, the doors of our house were protected from being flooded by snow.

When I thought about it, I suddenly realized that I really didn't have a good way to shovel snow, so luckily I spread my hands.

"There's no way, let's shovel snow honestly."

"I'll you!" Akai fell on his back on the snow, and the soft layer of snow was pressed a little thicker by Akai.

Xiaobai jumped out, his snow-white hair blending into the snow, and he was happily rolling on the snow.

For Xiaobai, who doesn't have any worries, the life of eating and walking around every day and coming back to sleep after is simply depraved! Especially in winter, our family doesn't have to worry about food, basically except for eating and sleeping.

Akai and I looked at each other and sighed.

"Let's go." I waved my hand, "Go get the shovel, we'll shovel the snow and put it in the box." ”

This snow is not useless, if I use the crafting table to press it into snow blocks, I will be able to extract the corresponding water elemental essence from it after I make the elemental extractor.

The Elemental Essence is a support item for the Mage to cast spells, which can save the mana consumption of the corresponding elemental magic and increase the power.

Of course, the extracted Elemental Essence is a one-time item that will disappear after use.

Idle is idle, and Akai and I took shovels and started clearing the snow in winter.
