Chapter 118: Night Talk
Apparently, though, Ain's estimate of the speed of the march in the middle of the night was not enough.
Due to the usual heavy snow in the middle of the night, Ain ended up having to walk at the front of the group and use spells to clear the way.
In fact, if it snows like this, it stands to reason that the snow should be enough to flood the tent when you wake up every morning, but in fact, it doesn't, except for feeling a little cold every day, there doesn't seem to be the situation where the road is blocked by the university.
Aine noticed this, too, and in addition to using spells to clear the way, he also focused his attention on the hillside on his right.
After a little bit of detachment, Aine noticed something different.
Unlike the heavy snow that began at the beginning of the Melting Moon, the essence of the routine heavy snow that occurs every night now is nothing more than magical energy......
This is actually quite explained, when the snow falls, it will still maintain the form of snowflakes because of the magic energy, forming the snow that now plagues their travel. But after a while, the uncontrolled magic energy will start to escape, either merging with the naturally occurring snow below, making it more icy, or escaping into the air, creating that cold feeling.
In fact, a little closer observation reveals something different - the snowflakes on the slopes of the hill that were brightly lit by the torches in the ranks quickly disappeared on the flat snow.
Combined with this situation, Ain was even more sure of his own judgment. Even now, he felt that the magical energy impact of Far Winter City at the beginning of the year of winter had traces of manipulation above the starry sky.
"But in the game of the previous life, it seems that in the first period of time, there was no shadow of these conspiracies at all, and even the White Mountain Range had no sign of becoming the Ice Throne before I came to this real world......" Ain couldn't help but think again, "If you want to talk about the butterfly effect, it can't be counted. For the past five years, I have been studying arcane arts in earnest, and it was not until I was fifteen years old that I was qualified to officially use the magic net and obtain the permission to use the first ring of spells. What I've done in the past two months has basically had no impact on the entire history, and even if I took that fragment of the Soul Heart, it wouldn't change so quickly......
However, since this trend has already occurred, with the current strength of Ain, there is no way to deal with it, so we can only wait and see what happens.
After clearing up the mess in his mind a little, Aine looked up at this time and found that the black mountains had disappeared overhead, replaced by a starry sky, indicating that the current location was very close to the mountain pass.
"When you get past the pass, let's find a place to rest immediately, the temperature should be very low now. After the tent is set up, I will bless the magic trick to ensure the warmth of the night, after all, this position is much colder than the previous nights......" Ain turned his head and said to Harden behind him, because today's entire day's trek is basically moving upwards again, compared with the height position of the previous two days, it is obviously much higher now, and the truth of the former secular saying "the high place is not cold" actually exists in this world.
"I don't know when, among the stars in the sky, there will be a projection of my kingdom in the sky......" After receiving Harden's reply, Ain looked at the stars again, and then couldn't help but mutter.
Ain naturally understands that these stars are different from the real planets in the world of his previous life, and the vast majority of the stars in the world he is in now are the projections of those beings above the starry sky, on the plane barrier of the main material plane, and the remaining small part is the projection of other slightly larger planes in this multiverse.
……
After arranging the mage's tricks, Aine estimated the time through the starry sky, and then walked directly to the campfire.
Today is the first half of the night when Harden is on duty, to be precise, every day is the first half of the night when Harden is on duty, and then in the second half of the night, it is divided into three sections to find someone on duty.
"Your Lordship...... Aren't you resting today? Harden was alert, and before Ain could get closer, he was already aware of it. However, Harden was surprised that Ain didn't go directly to rest - if there wasn't enough rest, Ain's spell slot would not be able to recover, although it was true that he didn't use the spell slot much today.
Aine shook his head slightly, took out a blanket, spread it on the ground, and sat directly on the edge of the campfire.
"Sit down, I think there's something I have to say at this time......" Ain pressed his hand on Harden, who naturally understood that his lord had something to do when he gave up the time to rest and recover the spell slot and came to keep vigil with him.
"What do you think of the country of Rysel...... "Because the spawn point and development place in the previous life game are in the south of Rysel, it was not until after the collapse of Risel that he began to develop in the north for the task of high rewards, so he actually didn't know what the people of Rysel in the north thought about their country.
Harden nodded, then shook his head again.
"Riesel, I guess it used to be the most important thing on my heart. I may understand that my words are pale and weak, but as a veteran of the June War, I really feel that when I was in the army, I fought for the Reesel, for the country, for the people of this country. Harden's tone was very heavy, "Including the later reclamation outside the Northwest Fortress, but it wasn't until after the Battle of the Flowers ended, I learned about those things from my former friends in the army, and I realized that this country was no longer the Riesel I used to protect with my life."
"The nobility of the country began to become selfish, to indulge, to become corrupt. In the past, for the survival of the country, he could lead his troops and win a great victory in the June War together, but when those nobles and civilians who were reclaimed outside the Northwest Fortress were in danger, they only thought about maintaining the barrier of the Northwest Fortress - anyway, as long as the Northwest Fortress was not breached, their industry would not be in danger.
"This time, the Northwest Fortress was directly breached without warning at a speed like a lightning bolt that pierced the sky in an instant, I think these damn nobles, I'm sorry, those damn corrupt nobles, didn't even think of it." At this point, Harden's mood became agitated, his fists clenched slightly, and he even made a slip of the tongue - although he corrected it in time.
Aine didn't care about this slip of the tongue either, anyway, he didn't put himself in the ranks of the nobles now, he had his plans.
Nodding his head in agreement, Ain didn't say anything, leaving a word and getting up to leave, leaving Harden alone to speculate about what Aine meant.
"The decay will be broken after all, and there may be some trouble going into Sophie Castle tomorrow, so I will rest and ......"
