On August 15, 5381 AH, it had been ten days since Zet's departure.

Elona hadn't been in a fight for ten days, and she looked very tired.

Having done nothing to put in the effort, Kotohime couldn't understand why Ilona looked so listless.

"Elona......"

"Huh?"

"Are you tired?" The heaviest box in the luggage had been taken away by Zet, and there was only some food in the luggage at this time, so it shouldn't be very heavy.

Ilona shook her head, she didn't understand what her emotions were calling right now. To be precise, she doesn't know anything about human feelings, so she doesn't know that her state at this time is called "boring".

Yes, Ilona is bored, she hasn't met a single village along the way for ten days, and Ilona wants to find a land god to fight with herself.

But Ilona feels that she is a robot, that robots cannot have desires, and that obeying her master's orders is her job. But with that said, Ilona began to wonder again - who is her master?

Kotohime is just the one who started herself, and her master should still be in her original world. However, Ilona searched the database and couldn't find any record of her master, so she had to take Kotohime as her own.

"There's a snow forest ahead, right?" Hayumi was already feeling a noticeable chill, and it seemed that he was not far from his destination.

In fact, when Hayumi asked to team up with them, she didn't agree, but Hayumi set off with the two of them on his own, as if he had made up his mind to follow them.

Although the temperature drops very quickly, for Kotohime and Hayumi, they don't care about the temperature. They can use psychic magic to control the temperature around them, regardless of their surroundings.

Hayumi and Kohime shook their staffs, and a pale orange glow enveloped them. Ilona could see the temperature around them rise through infrared detection, and understood that this strange spell was used to keep them warm.

Seeing that Ilona was looking at her, Hayumi immediately raised her staff and waved it at Ilona, and a pale orange light shot out from the top of the staff, enveloping Ilona in an instant.

"Hmm, what's wrong, what is this?" Ilona waved her hand to dispel the strange light, but to no avail.

"This is a magic technique that can help you keep warm, otherwise you will freeze to death if you wear so little. ”

"No, no, I don't need this. Ilona hurriedly said to Hayumi, "Get this thing away, I'm not afraid of the cold." ”

But ...... "Even if you are no longer afraid of the cold, your body will not be able to stand it and you will freeze to death." Hayumi wanted to say that.

Kotohime sighed and waved her staff at Ilona, but luckily it was just a very ordinary warmth spell that Kotohime could easily unravel.

Seeing that the light that could not be analyzed by her own system disappeared, Elona breathed a sigh of relief. With her ability to move, she can be said to be a fearless existence, but Ilona really doesn't know how to deal with the kind of psiloy that can't be explained by science.

It's like flying, Elona herself is equipped with an anti-gravity system, but Kotohime only needs to say a few words casually and step on the whirlwind under her feet to fly. Elona didn't understand how such a small whirlwind could blow a person flying.

Hayumi looked at Kotohime in bewilderment, although he had seen Ilona beat two wyverns to death before, but this was not directly related to whether or not he could resist the cold.

"It's okay, she said no, don't use it. "Jean-hime has probably guessed something about Ilona these days. Just as she was amazed by Elona's abilities, Elona would not be able to comprehend the spiritual arts of this world. Since Ilona was no longer holding herself to the speed of that Mach, she couldn't use her psychic spells on her.

The three of them continued on their way, and finally saw the pure white on the horizon.

The Ice and Snow Forest is a huge forest in the northern part of the Reddian Continent that spans the entire Northern Continent. To the north of the forest there are two kingdoms, the Kingdom of Grasse and the Kingdom of Ogheim. The forest is inhabited by many ferocious beasts, and the merchants of the two countries need to hire adventurers to protect them every time they go south to do business, which makes many adventurers happy to move around the snow forest.

"Are we going to walk through this forest?" Ilona deduced that the forest was so large that it would take at least two days to walk on the feet of an ordinary person.

"yes, it's going to take about three days. "It's the first time I've been here, so I'm not very familiar with the area.

But there's a guy here who knows a lot about the Ice Forest, and Hayumi has been here four times, and he knows what to do.

Hayumi led the two to a camp outside the forest. Twenty miles outside the forest there were improvised camps where adventurers gathered, and were usually paid a small amount of money from each country to defend themselves against the beasts that occasionally left the forest, and to protect the merchants through the forest if they were hired to do so.

Hayumi didn't come here to hire adventurers, after all, they had gone into the Ice Forest to train themselves, and it would be a mistake to find someone to protect them.

"Yo, isn't this Hayumi? It's not a mission this time, is it?" The group of adventurers sat in front of the campfire to warm themselves and drink, and when they saw Hayumi, they immediately greeted, "Come on, we just happened to hunt a female snow leopard and got some fresh leopard milk, and we are worried that no one wants to drink it." ”

Hayumi struck the man on the head with his staff without hesitation, and said in a typical adventurer's tone: "Fuck you, Lao Tzu has long said that Lao Tzu only drinks milk." Believe it or not, cut out your tongue and use it as a milk dish?"

"Don't be angry, young master, I'm kidding. The man touched the waist that had been kicked by Hayumi and laughed, "Is there anything you have to do here?"

"I'm going into the forest......"

"Oh, are you going to hire us?"

"Give me a map for this quarter. ”

"Huh, don't you hire us?"

These adventurers were taken aback, they could see that the Qin Ji behind them was also a spirit girl, but the other Ilona was an ordinary girl, so wouldn't these three people be looking for death if they wanted to go into the forest?

"you, where do you get all this? ”

"Give it to you......" He pulled out a sheepskin map from the package on the side and handed it to Hayumi, "Well, this is the map for this quarter." Be careful, try to take the main road, the forest has not been very peaceful lately. ”

Hayumi took the map and threw a silver coin to him. "Take it and buy wine to drink. ”

Armed with the map, the trio entered the forest.

On the way, Kotohime asked Hayumi, "The way you looked just now feels completely different from what you used to be." "In the past few days, Kotohime feels that Hayumi is a very educated and thoughtful boy. has always accommodated the two of them, always with a sunny smile on her face. Although it's just a boy who isn't much older than himself, it's very likable.

"With those people, if you don't show this appearance, you will be underestimated. Hayumi smiled bitterly: "Many of the adventurers are rough people, and their personalities are too straightforward. They can't get used to those of us who have been pampered and brought up, so I'm the only one to cater to them. ”

"And how do you feel?" asked Ilona as well. Her database contains stories of aristocratic children who were forced to live with lowly people, and then were transformed by them.

Hayumi thought for a moment and said, "Honestly?"

"Honestly. ”

"I'm not used to ......," Hayumi said with a wry smile, "The adventurers are too noisy and too wild. I've tried to be like this, but I've found that I'm not really a noisy person, I don't like the smell of sweat on adventurers, I don't like the way they don't keep their mouths shut when they chew, and I don't like their habit of swearing all day long. ”

"Isn't this kind of arrogance bad?"

"This is not called arrogance!" Hayumi said solemnly: "This is an excuse used by people who have no self-cultivation to quibble. The premise of arrogance should be kept in a situation that does not affect others, but they ignore the opinions of the people around them and go their own way, bringing unhappiness to others, which cannot be disguised by arrogance. ”

"Then why are you messing around with them?"

"It's part of my experience. In such a situation, I have to insist on my self-cultivation and not be affected by them, but I also have to know who to get along with and what methods to use, and know how to read the air. I like to live comfortably and eat fine food, but I can't be fooled by these things, so I gave up the opportunity to go to a nobleman's house as a guest and chose the life of an adventurer. ”

Elona doesn't understand that humans are really too complicated. Obviously I hate it but still choose to get closer, and I like it very much but I want to stay away. Isn't it true that you should ignore the things you hate, and the more you like them, the better?

Why? Is this human emotion? I don't understand, I can't decipher all of this, Ilona's computer is running at high speed, and I just can't explain everything I just said.

By the way, I can't understand that because I'm a robot, robots are not the same as people. But if I were human, would I understand?

Elona thought as she heard a strange cry in her ears.

"What's calling?"

"Call?"

Ilona nodded and said, "It's very quiet, like the cry of an animal cub." ”

Hayumi sighed, "Then leave it alone...... Keep walking. ”

"Do you know what it is?" asked Kotohime curiously.

"Didn't they just say that they hunted a female leopard, and she still has milk. Then it was probably the she-leopard's baby who was barking. ”

"Such a pathetic...... Can we go and have a look?"

"It's better not to go. Hayumi said expressionlessly: "After seeing it, you will feel compassion and want to help them." But there's simply no way you can help them......"

"Is there no other way?"

Hayumi nodded and said, "Yes, kill them and give them a good time." ”
