Chapter 77: Wind Demon

And so it passed for a day, and the next day.

It's hot, maybe it's summer. In the Odin Empire, if you can see the sun now, you will praise the gods of light. Perhaps it was a place where the gods of light had abandoned.

Bergen, De Casna, Frankendo, of the three, Frankendo is the closest to the temperature here. It's just that the weather is too hot, so the Orias School of Magic will have a three-month summer vacation, and once the summer vacation comes, there will be no students from abroad who will continue to stay in the school.

In the past, Days would probably hide in the shade of the castle and enjoy the sea breeze. The windows of his room, with its windows facing the sea to the west, were cool until noon, but in the afternoon it was hot. At that time, the maid Melina's sister would come and close the windows and draw heavy curtains to keep out the sun.

The sun is always strong in the afternoon. I remember one time, Days put the candle in the corner outside the windowsill, and when he got it back in the evening, the candle was no longer "one" candle, but "a lump" of candles.

When the sun goes down, even if Melina pulls back the curtains and opens the windows to let in air, it still doesn't cool down the room well. It is also necessary to sprinkle water into the room and put a large basin of well water. After Days learned some magic from his magic teacher, he tried to make ice cubes in his room to cool down.

He wasn't used to things like changing rooms. Sometimes Melina's sister would jokingly talk about going to sleep with her. But Days only promised when he was very young, and after the age of 8, he began to be shy and refused.

The four of them walked quietly in the wilderness, and there was silence for a moment. Probably because it was really hot, even if there was a little breeze once in a while, it was hot. It's a veritable wilderness, devoid of people, save for a few collapsed watchtowers and remnants of barracks.

"Doesn't this land have development value?" Days said the broom.

"Because there is still a lot of land on the mainland, after the first half century of war, the population is still recovering." The knowledgeable Miss Rita replied. She had won the first place of the school year for three years in a row. So that's a very easy question for her to answer. Because at the same time, he has a high level of magical attainment. And there is a large reserve of potions, so even in this harsh environment, Miss Rita is still relaxed.

"Hmm." For Lord Dyce, who had only one village as a fief, this vast land. I still hope to be able to develop some value. Maybe there's a precious mineral deposit underneath the ground. Or there are treasures buried by predecessors. Maybe with a shovel, you can dig a spring, and then you can create an oasis.

Sophia stands upright in the air. Levitation was applied, and then with a rope attached to Dyce's broom, she was able to lean and follow Dyce as she advanced: "It's so desolate, there's not even a treasure hunter." ”

"After all, there is no history that says that there was any civilization or ancient country here." Teacher Rita still answered easily.

Days looked at the ruins he had just passed: "I also saw some guard towers and abandoned barracks along the way, although there are very few." ”

"That's the trace left by the Kingdom of Fernando when it launched the Restoration War, and the army of the Zinael Empire has never crossed the border. They are content with their lives. ”

"That's right."

Dyce's forehead was sweating, not because of the heat, but because of the pain. Although he tried not to show it on his face, Sophia could still hear Dyce's discomfort in her voice.

"Young Master Dyce, why don't we find a place to rest, there seems to be an abandoned barracks in front of us."

Days glanced at Miss Anna, who was flying happily with her wings in front of and behind her, and grinned, "Okay." ”

After a period of busyness, the four of them finally cleaned up a place in the abandoned barracks. Probably in the past, it was a room, although the iron tools were rusty and messy, but the cooking stove was still relatively complete.

Days endured the faint pain below, and used magic to condense the water balloon. Probably because of being in the shade, it was easier to cast water magic than when flying outside. But because it still hurts, it causes distraction, so it failed several times. After a few times, I finally condensed enough water to cook.

Then Days continued to condense the water to replenish the water consumed by everyone on the road, and then used water to wash the face to cool down the girls. Watching the girls suck water with their hands and then drip crystal droplets on their red faces, Days felt that his efforts were very valuable, and the scene in front of him was really beautiful.

Miss Rita doesn't seem to be as strong as Days in water magic, so she always relies on Days at this time and looks at it obediently. After condensing the water, Days began to rest quietly. Having applied the levitation technique to Sophia in front of him, and then flying on a broomstick for so long, and then condensing so much water in this desolate, hot, and dry wilderness, I am afraid that ordinary people would have already fallen down.

Even Miss Rita felt incredible, although on that night when she solved the mystery of the basement for a hundred years, she saw Daiss perform powerful magic in a hypnotic state and show amazing continuous output ability, but she felt that she had once again seen a new limit: "Little Daice, how can your mental power be so strong, but I don't usually see you meditating." ”

"Hmm, I don't think I've forgotten to meditate lately."

Rita naturally thought of an explanation: "It seems that little Days is a person who works hard in secret, and when we can't see it, he works hard to improve his mental strength." ”

Days gave a shy smile and scratched his head. The reason why his spiritual power is strong has nothing to do with his hard work. When Miss Cecilia was Dyce's girlfriend, she had trained him in the devil's hellish way, and his strength had indeed increased very quickly. However, Miss Cecilia is basically a physical workout for Dyce, so if Dyce can lift something he couldn't lift before, today. That would probably be to praise Cecilia's merits.

And today, his mental strength is so strong, mainly thanks to the adventure in the basement of the church. Dais, he meets the ghost of his ancestor, Charlie the Lionheart of the Holy Empire of Fernando, who is stranded there, and receives his gift.

"Teacher Rita."

"Can you call me Rita?"

"Okay, Teacher Rita."

"Whewβ€”" Miss Rita sighed. She knew that in a short period of time, it was a little irretrievable, so she could only wait for the opportunity slowly.

"Does Rita-sensei know where we are now?"

"It's probably two days away."

"Ah, two days to go." Days felt more pain down there.

"Well, you can meet the people of the Zinael Empire in two days."

"Zinael?"

"That's right."

"yes, we're really heading east."

"Uh-huh, it's still far away, isn't it......?"

Speaking of which. I'd only seen people there before when Francondo met with merchants from the Zenael Empire. They're really rare. It's like a rare monster. ”

"Like that one?"

Days pointed behind Miss Rita.

Miss Anna was communicating with a translucent creature that looked like a jellyfish and had many tentacles floating in the air. She seemed to be listening intently, nodding her head from time to time.

"What a rare wind demon." Miss Rita spoke and stood up.

"It's beautiful." Sophia also turned around and saw the wind demon on this side.

It seems to notice that everyone around is looking at it. The tentacles of the wind demon seemed to be electrocuted a little. Stretch straight. And then there was a flurry. It was only under Miss Anna's soft voice that she gradually quieted down. After a few more words, it faded away.

He said. There is a powerful presence here that can influence the weather. We are advised to leave the area early. Brother, let's leave after dinner. ”

"Can it affect the weather?" Miss Rita confirmed in surprise.

"What does it mean to affect the weather?"

"It means it's strong, and it means we can't compete with it."

"Anne can't communicate with it either?"

This journey has been very smooth, and it has a lot to do with Miss Anna being in the team, because she has a very strong affinity for living beings.

Anne didn't know. Maybe, maybe not. But since he just said that, I should have listened to his advice. ”

"Who? Oh, the wind demon. Days nodded. He felt the pain in his body and smiled bitterly.

After eating, the four of them set off again.

Rita-sensei didn't have to fly forward with all her might, so she basically sat on her side and floated around Dyce. Miss Anna, in such a place where no one is around, flies with peace of mind on her wings. In such a hot place, she seemed to feel very comfortable, there was not a drop of sweat on her body, and the sunlight that filled the space and her red wings reflected each other, which was very beautiful.

Sophia floated quietly in the air as before.

Among the four people, the most painful is probably Dyce.

"Don't fly with a broomstick, but with a broomstick. You have to understand that. ”

Miss Rita kept mentioning it on the side.

"If not, I can teach you by hand, little Dyce, if you want."

Days immediately shook his head quickly. He didn't want to blush again, the so-called "hand-in-hand" was too much beyond his limits.

He clamped the broom handle with both feet, hoping to relieve pressure on certain areas. Although it has some effects, it still hurts.

Although it had been said that she would make a flying machine out of the dirt here, Miss Rita happily told Days that it was unfortunate that the magic pen used to draw the magic circle had run out.

There are still two days to go, so I can only hope that I will be able to understand the main points of riding during this time.

Thursday, August 17, 197 in the continental calendar. Cloudy, windy.

From the afternoon, a black whirlwind blew. So the few people who went forward put on heavy cloaks.

Miss Anna put away her red wings, put on her cloak, and obediently followed behind Dyce's broomstick, just like Sophia, who handed it over to Miss Rita.

Compared to yesterday, Dyce's flight speed has increased a lot, and he is also used to it a lot. During the practice, I gradually mastered some skills, such as having Sophia make a cushion-like structure on her pants, so she was finally able to ride with confidence. So I finally skipped the advanced stage of Miss Rita's so-called "you're not riding a broomstick, you're flying with a broomstick".

"Why is it so windy all of a sudden?" Days roared hard in the wind.

"What?!" Miss Rita didn't hear clearly, and replied with difficulty on the other side.

Days reluctantly used a wind shield to protect the four people before he could speak with peace of mind.

"Teacher Rita, why is there such a strong wind all of a sudden?"

"I don't know."

There could be something Miss Rita didn't know!

"I know." Miss Anna replied in the back.

"Anne, do you know why?"

"It's angry."

"Who?"

"That."

"What is that?"

"It's the one I talked about yesterday, it's big, big, it's powerful, it's powerful......"

Miss Rita remembered: "Is it the terrifying and powerful existence that the little wind demon said can even affect the weather?" ”

"Hmm."

"What is it doing now?"

"Tantrums."

Miss Anna always replied briefly. However, Days has become accustomed to it, because after all, that "world" is very unusual for normal people, so Anna sometimes can't express it well. For example, can you imagine each grape in a bunch as you report how sweet they are?

"Can you calm it down?"

"No, you can't. It can't hear me. ”

"Oh."

"Brother, hurry up, it's dangerous."

"Teacher Rita, we need to get out of this place as much as possible."

"I see. Let's fly as fast as we can first. ”

Miss Rita first flew with Days for a distance, and after observing it for a while, she readjusted her direction: "After calculating the effect of the speed of the wind on us, we should be able to leave as quickly as possible if we go in this direction." ”

Days was stunned for a moment, then understood, and nodded: "Sure enough, knowledge can be used in life." ”

"Of course."

"Teacher Rita is indeed a teacher."

"Whew, I feel old suddenly, can you not praise me so much."

"Oh."

"Little Daisy is so well~"

"There are a lot of them." Miss Anna spoke suddenly.

"There are a lot of them!" Sophia turned around and took a look, and saw that there were indeed a lot of things flying in the black wind. Sophia thought of the existence that could affect the weather, so she was immediately afraid. Because one is enough to affect the weather, then a group is even more capable of influencing the weather. (To be continued.) )
