November 29, 1204, in the northern part of the Erebonian Empire, in the Esintre Mountains.

Only a muffled thunderous sound was heard, and a gap was suddenly opened in half of the mountain wall, and a young man in red clothes and gray pants, with black hair and black eyes, walked out of it holding a black cat with pure fur and elegant body.

The boy stood on the edge of the cliff, raised his head at forty-five degrees, let the winter sun shine all over his body, and let out a comfortable soft hum.

"It feels good to be sunshine after a long absence, isn't it, Serenu."

"Ugh." The black cat sighed humanely, "It's okay, let's leave quickly, I'm tired of staying here for more than a month." ”

"Thank you, Serenu, for protecting me for so long, thank you so much." The boy held up the black cat, level with his face.

"What, what, no, it's not a big deal, it's just an obligation as a partner." Serenu was arrogant, "Didn't you say it before, we're partners." ”

"No, even if it's a partner, you have to thank you." The boy placed Serenu on his shoulder and scratched her chin.

"Huh~Huh~" Serenu let out two comfortable soft snorts, and continued to be arrogant, "Hmph, since you said so, then I will reluctantly embarrass it"

"Well, hold your head up and accept it." The boy laughed.

"Now, Lane, how is your body? Is there anything wrong with it? ”

"Okay, it couldn't be better, it is worthy of the crystallization of the alchemy of the Kurois family, sleeping for a month not only did not affect the body's functions, but even the injuries healed." Li En stretched, his body squeaked, and his loose bones and muscles tensed instantly, "It's just that I'm a little hungry, I'll find something to eat later." ”

"How about grilled fish?" "The white fish in the pool where 'his' is located are quite tasty, but not very easy to catch. ”

"Good idea, let's go." With that, Dawn leaped forward.

"Meow~" Serenu screamed, "It's more than a hundred centimeters from here, I'm a cat, so it's no problem, what are you going to do?" ”

"Don't worry, look at my supernatural powers." As he spoke, Dawn's falling speed suddenly slowed down, as if he had fallen into water, slower and slower, slower and slower, and finally landed gently.

After landing on the ground, Li En looked at his hands and nodded with satisfaction: "Even if a part of the power is sealed, the remaining power is considerable." ”

"Really, don't do such thrilling things all the time, it scares me to death." Serenu angrily gave Rien a paw.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Rien touched Serenu's ear to soothe her emotions, "In order to make amends to you, I will make your own grilled fish for you to eat." ”

"Really? Over here? Serenu's ears pricked up.

"Of course, I never joke about food." Rien patted his waist bag, "Don't forget, I'm the man who carries seasonings with me." ”

In the middle of winter, everything withered, and the valley floor was desolate, except for the deep pool that occupied half of the valley and was still surrounded by a little greenery.

At the edge of the deep pool, a simple stove made of small stones is particularly eye-catching, and the residual plant ash in the stove indicates that the stove was used not long ago.

Rien looked at the stove and then at Serenu, "Huh? You know how to cook? ”

"Hmph." Serenu shook her head, "Don't compare me to a normal house cat, I'm a demon!" ”

"Yes, yes. So—" Rien smiled, "Miss Demon, please sit down for a moment while I prepare lunch for you." ”

"Hmph~" Serenu jumped off Riene's shoulders and sat down with graceful cat steps.

With a soft drink, Li En raised his hands, and the calm water surface of the deep pool suddenly became turbulent, and quickly exploded one after another, and every time it exploded, a white fish fell to Tan Bian.

Serenu's eyes lit up when he saw it, and with this skill, he was afraid that there would be no fish to eat in the future?

Blowing up six fish in a row, Lane put away his magical powers, took out the knife he was carrying, and scraped the scales.

While scraping, he said to the bottom of the pool: "Are you awake?" Valima. ”

"Oh~" A deep voice burst out of the water and into the ears of the boy and Serenu.

"How's your health?"

"The repair of the core and body has been completed, and the spiritual power (Mana) is fully stocked and ready to go into battle." Valima's voice is rigid and unchanging, and it has a strong mechanical meaning. But both Rien and Serenu knew that this was only temporary, and that as time went on and the battle intensified, Valima's intelligence would grow higher and higher, until it became as human as human.

"Well, the next battles will become more frequent, please, Valima."

"No need to ask for it, it's our mission to follow the will of the Initiator."

"Mission, my mission is to make you stand until the end, right, you just woke up and went into battle, and you didn't have time to introduce yourself. Dawn Schwarzer, your Initiator, just call me Dawn. ”

"Rian, Initiator, understood."

"Please advise, Valima."

"Please advise, Riene." The voice was still stereotypical, but there was a little more humanity in Lane's ears.

"Hehe, I'm a fast learner. Stay down there a little longer, and we'll go back to Yomir after we've eaten. ”

"Understood."

"Next, it's time for a pleasant lunch."

Scale, gutt, wash, light fire, slate roast, sprinkle with salt and other seasonings.

A series of actions are smooth, and there is no strangeness brought by the January window period at all. (Cooking is also a must-have skill for many Uchiyama-voiced characters, and Banerjee lives alone and is sure to cook.) Yixia and Xiye are all-round in family affairs, and their level is no worse than that of a certain guard palace. ）

"That's it!" Rien wiped his hands and smiled as he parted the fish.

At this moment, a continuous wolf howl sounded in the mountains, one after another, from far to near, becoming clearer and clearer.

"Hmm" Li En swallowed the fish in his mouth in twos, spit out a few fish bones, and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Serenu listened for a few seconds and replied, "It's an alarm." Those snow wolf friends of yours seem to have spotted a powerful foe approaching here. ”

"A powerful enemy?" Li En looked in the direction where the wolf howl came from, and his heart was clear - only the Demon Soldiers would appear at this time.

I'm no match for you in the original world, and I've been wounded by Serenu, and if Mr. Tovar hadn't arrived in time, I might have died. After that, in order to prevent you from harming Yumir, me, Mister Tovar, and Elysée went out to meet you, and with the help of Valima, we managed to kill you, but gave the Chasseur and Vita an opportunity to take advantage of - Yumir turned into a sea of fire, and Elysée and Princess Elphine were captured.

However, now that I am strong enough, I will not give anyone another chance to take away my important things!

Let's put you to the test of my current strength. (To be continued.) )
