Chapter 14: Traces

The north wind is blowing and the snow is falling.

On the dimly lit wilderness path, a horse-drawn carriage was moving slowly in the wind and snow.

Inside the carriage, four dark bloated figures were huddled in the small silent carriage, breathing evenly and as if they were asleep.

At this moment, the man sitting by the window, wearing a wide trench coat and neat black short hair, suddenly opened his eyes, and immediately reached out to pull the curtain used to cover him.

'Whew...'

The icy north wind suddenly poured in from the window with a bone-chilling chill.

"Leon, what are you doing!"

"Damn Leon, are you going to freeze me to death this old man!"

"The wind and snow on the Enchanted Ridge freeze to death many outsiders every year!"

In an instant, the other people in the small car were all awakened.

The tall young man sitting in the corner of the carriage, and another emaciated old man, immediately cursed.

sat next to the short-haired black Li Ang, and the petite figure with long blond hair did not make a sound, but looked at the wind and snow outside the window in a little daze.

"Haha, doesn't that make you sober up faster?"

"Look, don't you wake up!"

Li Ang, who had short black hair, smiled heartily.

"Then you don't have to do it in this way, Leon must have done it on purpose!"

The tall young man seemed to be a little angry and was still muttering.

"Okay, okay, wake up, Leon, what do you want to say?"

The emaciated old man yawned and waved his hand.

"Well, I'd say we've been walking in this snowstorm for almost three days, how far are we from the Magic Ridge?"

"Also, the old horse in front, can you continue to pull it like this? Will you be able to make it to the Magic Ridge? Don't you really need to feed it something? ”

The black-haired Leon seemed to be a little flustered, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his mouth was full of questions.

"Oh, shit!"

"I almost forgot if you didn't say it, you wait first!"

After listening to Li Ang's words, the emaciated old man slapped his head and shouted.

So he hurriedly took out a bag of things from under his body and immediately stepped out of the carriage.

The old man jumped out of the carriage and immediately walked over to the pony, which was already covered in snow.

Touching the pony's face, he said in distress: 'I'm sorry my darling, I'm hungry!' ”

As he spoke, the emaciated old man immediately took out the pale yellow beans in his bag and fed them to the horse!

'Boom! ’

When the old horse saw the arrival of his master, he hurriedly shook the horse's head and made a special voice of the dwarf horse, as if he was coquettish.

"Good, good... It's all for you to eat! ”

"And this, water, drink it quickly, don't choke..."

......

"Has he always been like this to that horse?"

Looking at this scene, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the carriage.

Leon turned his head, only to find that the petite girl beside him was staring intently, and the old man outside the carriage was feeding the old horse.

"Yes, Delin said that the horse once saved his life!"

"He said that when he was still young, during a trip with a caravan, he was attacked by orcs, and almost all the people in the caravan died, leaving him seriously wounded, and he was carried out of the ascension by the pony!"

"So, from then on, he did to that horse as he did to his son!"

"Although this guy Delin is still an old bachelor, he has no son at all!"

After Li Ang finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders and looked at the face of the girl beside him, and Li Ang's eyes flashed with amazement.

The long golden hair, the clear blue eyes, and the delicate and white skin like the snow outside the window all made him feel his heart beat faster when he saw each other for the first time.

Also, although the other party looks a little petite, he is not short.

Moreover, on the chest inside the opponent's slightly wide and bloated blue robe, there is a pair of breasts that are completely out of harmony with the proportions of the body!

This was discovered by Leon in an inadvertent glimpse.

Delicate childlike face, fierce breasts!

Coupled with the noble status of the other party's magician, such a girl is enough to drive any male on the continent of Altria crazy!

Naturally, Leon did the same, but the etiquette of a knight did not allow him to be rude to any lady.

Besides, they had only known each other three days ago, and they had ridden together in Old Delin's carriage bound for the 'Enchanted Ridge'!

"No wonder!"

After listening to what Leon said, the petite girl nodded.

"Afra... I... I've always had a question! ”

"Oh, what's the doubt?"

Afra turned her head and looked at Leon with a calm expression.

"It's just... I said don't be upset. ”

Looking at Afra's clear and transparent blue eyes, Li Ang's heart accelerated again, and he said a little embarrassed.

"It's because of my status as a magician, why do I still sit in such a shabby carriage with you?"

Before Leon could speak, he heard Afra already express the doubts in his heart.

"Then I'll tell you, not every magician is that rich, especially a magician apprentice like us!"

Afra continued, as if this kind of embarrassing thing for the members of the Magical Guild came out of her mouth so calmly and naturally.

"I'm sorry, Afra, I didn't mean anything else!"

Li Ang apologized.

"It's okay, you're not the first to ask this kind of question, I'm used to it!"

Afra smiled at Leon, relieving the unnaturalness of the shy boy in front of her.

Li Ang naturally didn't want to ask anything, so he had to turn his head and continue to look at the wind and snow outside.

At this time, Delin also finished feeding the old horse and got into the carriage.

"Well, the speed of the carriage can be much faster."

"And, good news for you, we're still half a day's journey away from the Enchanted Ridge at most."

"Next, you can choose whether to continue sleeping for a while, or you can choose to give you some heroic stories for those of you who are visiting the beautiful holy land of 'Enchanted Ridge' for the first time!"

As soon as the old man came in, he quickly closed the curtains and spoke.

"Storytelling, storytelling, I've been asleep for days, who wants to sleep in your broken carriage."

As soon as the young man spoke, his eyes immediately widened.

"Alright, don't bother with Ford, Delin, we'd love to hear about the sacred site of the Enchanted Ridge!"

After Leon stopped the tall man, Old Man Delin's narration began.

"By the way, many years ago, one of the six dragon-slaying heroes on our Altrian continent, 'Lord Karatyu, the leader of the Peorista Wizards'----, you should all know about it!"

"Of course, we naturally know the six heroes!"

"Do you know where Lord Karachu first grew up... I'm telling you, it's on the 'Enchanted Ridge'! ”

“......”

An hour later,

"Old man Delin, what are you talking about, you said that someone found the trail of the 'dragon' among the mountains of the Enchanted Ridge last month?"

"Or is it just a 'blue dragon'?"

Ford looked at the emaciated old man in disbelief.

"I'm not sure, I've only heard about it, or if it's from the warriors of your Adventurer's Guild!"

"I didn't say it!"

"Even if you hear it, you can't spread it around, old man Delin!"

"You have to know who doesn't know that after the dragon slaying battle that those six heroes participated in, there is no trace of dragons in this world.

"If you're spreading the word, be careful that the king sends someone to let you go to the prison to talk!"
