When they got some distance, the surroundings became dark and dark. I made sure that there was no one behind me, so I asked Safa, who was silent beside me, "Sa, where do you think we should go now?" ”

While asking, I called out to Ted again on the side of the fantasy realm. Its body has now grown to the extent that it is more than twenty meters long, and with its wings spread out for tens of meters, it looks like a small mountain of meat, giving people a heavy oppressive force.

So I drove it away from my side to avoid being drawn to its massive body when I moved.

When I conveyed a message to the aetheric consciousness on one side of the fantasy realm through the subjective consciousness of reality, Ted, who did not know which corner of the fantasy world was hiding, let out a loud roar that shook the heavens and the earth, and conveyed to me that it heard my call.

Soon, in the vast night synchronized with the real world, a huge figure swooped in with the wind and snow, and the wind even lifted a large area of snow on the ground.

In the snowy night, a pair of pale golden eyes opened in front of my eyes, emitting a dazzling cold light like two huge searchlights, and at the same time, there was a voice that gradually became majestic as the body grew: "Ain, what is the matter with me?" ”

"Fold, let's go to the highest place."

Sha's face was hidden in the darkness, and she didn't even pause when she spoke. At this time, my eyes had not yet fully adjusted to the darkness, and I couldn't see her expression clearly, but judging from her movements and the way she spoke in statements that were close to commands, it was clear that she was in a different state at this time - under normal circumstances, she would not decide things for herself and then speak to others in a declarative tone.

But this does not mean that she does not have her own opinions, but she is used to paying attention to the opinions of others when she speaks, and if the opinions of others do not match her own ideas, she will tactfully make suggestions. Once the suggestion is not accepted, she will stop talking and will remain non-involved afterwards.

Even if there are times when she decides things on her own, she will ask others in a tactful tone, and she will not give an arbitrary announcement, and just do her own thing - Mika will, she is this kind of character, she can pull everyone else to follow her rhythm, but her more hearty than a boy is not annoying.

As for the "highest place" mentioned by Sa, it is obvious that she refers to the tallest building in the ice city, the Tongtiantai, which is the place where Mika has been clamoring to see the stars - but judging from the current situation, the sky has been completely obscured by clouds, and not only the starlight is impenetrable, but even the light of the silver moon cannot penetrate, and it is obvious that her wish has become an extravagant hope.

"Go and help me find Jing ...... That is, my sister, who came to tell me as soon as she found it—go now. ”

I had no intention of delving into Sa's secrets right now, so I kept silent and followed Sa's back as I delivered orders to Ted. It has wings that can fly through the air, and it can't be seen by anyone other than me, so it's obviously much easier to find someone than I am—and more importantly, as a creature I've imagined, Ted has the ability to access real-world information without using my senses.

"I see, Supreme Ain."

As his body recovered, Ted's personality seemed to gradually transition from childhood to maturity, and his habit of rambling was curbed slightly. After I thought it had given the order, it didn't even say a word, flapped its wings directly, turned its head in the air, rushed up to the sky against the wind and snow, and circled around the ice city.

However, in the process, it swallowed a three-headed bird passing by, and let out an excited roar - as my thoughts leaked and turned inside, the fantasy world seemed to be brought to life, and while it continued to exist, all kinds of strange creatures were constantly born in it. And a large part of these creatures fell into Ted's mouth and became his rations.

And as he ate more fantasy creatures, Ted's body grew bigger and bigger, recovering to the form I had conceived it to be.

Of course, in my conception, it was unimaginably large at maturity, and when nine pairs of wings were spread, it could easily envelop the entire solar system. Now it is still far from that level, even if it is given millions of years, I don't know if it can grow to that extent.

As Ted hovered overhead, I followed in the footsteps of the veil and walked down the dark path towards the rooftop.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of fire and conversation at the corner of the road ahead, and I was the first to hear the mixed human voices in the whistling wind, so I reminded the yarn walking in front: "Yarn, someone is coming ahead, be careful." ”

"Yes, got it."

The footsteps of the yarn were steady, without any panic. Her petite figure in a fur coat looms in the night, like a snow fairy dancing in the land of sterling silver and the white snow, revealing a dazzling beauty.

Soon, around the corner ahead, five adults appeared, all carrying improvised torches made of wooden sticks, patrolling the streets by the light of the fire. Then one of them quickly saw me and Sasa, a woman, but through the falling snowflakes, it was impossible to see their age for a while. She immediately asked us as if she were intimidating, "Who is there?" Why not light the torch? ”

I was worried that Sha in her current state would not be able to answer well, and I was about to open my mouth to answer, but Sha made a voice in advance: "With the body of the red lotus flame, burn out the bad karma." ”

These words were inexplicable, but when the voice came out, the other side fell silent. I could hear a muffled exclamation from one of them. At this time, my thoughts turned, and I immediately reacted, and understood that this was probably a password used to indicate identity, and it could also be the special identity code of Miss Liuzhi and the Sa's family.

My gaze paused on the gorgeous red hair that hung out from between the hats, the so-called "Red Lotus Flame Body" should refer to people with special red hair like their mother and daughter, and the "bad karma" referred to by "burning out bad karma" refers to "evil ghosts" and "karmic demons".

In this world, there are two kinds of creatures, "demons" and "karmic demons", and it is difficult for ordinary mana users to deal with them. And Miss Rokuchi and her family may have something special about being able to deal with "evil spirits" and "karmic demons" that are difficult for ordinary mana users to deal with, so they are regarded as special people in the town who are specially used to deal with two creatures.

It's just that...... What exactly are demons and karma?

I became more and more curious about the identities of these two.

Just as I was thinking about what the demons and karma were, the five adults had already walked over with torches, and the light of the fire, which was blown by the wind, lit up a nearby space.

The five people who approached all buried their faces in thick scarves, but I could tell by the light of the fire that they were divided into three men and two women, none of whom were young in age, at least middle-aged in their forties.

As they approached and looked at me curiously, one of the men nodded towards the yarn, "We haven't found anything here." ”

Hearing his words, the yarn "En" responded, passed by them, and continued to walk forward. I withdrew my gaze from the five adults and hurried to follow her, but was quickly stopped by a male.

He stared at me, as if intending to see through the scarf that I had wrapped around the lower half of my face like they were. In the next moment, he called through my identity: "You...... Is it a child of the Shiraishi family? ”

The population of Kamisu 66 is just over 3,000, although it is difficult to reach other people due to its large size and sparse population. But the whole social circle is so small, no matter how little contact you have, once you go out, you will still meet familiar people - this person who stopped me is obviously an acquaintance of my parents.

"Yes, my father's white stone carving."

was called through the identity, and I couldn't continue to remain silent, so I answered.

"I'm your father's colleague Inoue, and I've been a guest at your house, and I've met your parents just now."

He first declared his identity, and then sent me a series of questions in a stern tone: "I remember you are called Fold, right?" Why are you here? Don't you know that a child of your age should stay in the ice palace and wait for the matter to end? ”

"I ......"

His barrage of questions gave me a headache, and I didn't know what to answer for a while. After all, limited to my identity as a child, no matter what I say, I naturally have a weak and childish label, and it is difficult to convince a stubborn adult - judging by his tone and demeanor, he is obviously the kind of old-fashioned adult who thinks that children should listen to the teachings of adults.

And he acted with good intentions, and I was afraid that I would find out that my friend's heir would be in a dangerous place in a dangerous situation, so it would be difficult for me to convince such a person, not only will it take time, but in my current capacity, it may not be successful.

"Hurry back, don't stay in ......"

When an adult named Inoue saw that I didn't speak, he planned to let me go back to the Ice Palace. But by this time the veil that had been walking in front had been folded back. Her half-exposed beauty in the air tensed, raised her head, stared at Inoue with dark eyes shrouded in shadows, and interrupted his later words: "He is my helper." ”

"But what can a child like him do to help you? If it's really an evil ghost, a child like him who doesn't even have magic power can't run. ”

Inoue's brows were twisted into the word "Chuan", and his eyes looked a little indignant when he looked at the yarn.

"It's okay, I won't let him be hurt until I die."

In the face of his questioning, Sa's tone was still unhurried, revealing a strong personality that was completely different from usual: "I can only play a role with his help, if you have any opinions, please submit them to the Board of Education afterwards, please don't interfere with my duties now, please." ”

Her words blocked Inoue's speechlessness, and the woman next to him hurriedly comforted him. Then Sata walked straight up to me, took my left hand with her right hand, and walked straight ahead, passing past the five of them, ignoring Inoue.
