With the departure of the army, Pelican Town, which was originally very lively, is now gradually quieting down.

This wasn't what Iero had in mind, according to his plan, the army should remain stationed here, and then Merfolk Song would spend the winter constantly entering the mines and killing the ghouls with the help of those soldiers, and then trying to make money.

But now, the army has been gone for more than half a month, looking at this town that has fallen back into peace, and then looking at the goose feathers and snow drifting in the sky, Arrow can't help but sigh.

"Alas~~~ loss...... What a loss......"

Loss, that's for sure.

After all, people still need to continue to eat, drink, and Lazar to live.

Looking at the snowflakes that kept falling on the streets, Arrow began to rejoice that his guild was more or less warm, and that the members here were in good health. Otherwise, if you add the money for medical treatment and firewood for heating, it will be a lot of expenses.

As winter begins, the white expanse gradually replaces Pelican Town's modest colors as the only hue here.

There are fewer and fewer fairs and exchanges on the streets, and finally they are approaching zero. The people of the town stayed in their own houses, relying on the food accumulated in the autumn, around the stove, and the family was warm and warm as they did every winter, and they spent this cold winter without heart and lungs.

This means that there are fewer and fewer commissions, and in recent days there has been no at all. Even in December, parents who were still thinking about sending their children to class stopped paying school fees. Come to think of it, no matter what, it's more comfortable to stay at home and drink hot tea in such a big winter.

Arrow's brow furrowed, he took the pen and tapped lightly on the account book in front of him.

The turnover these days is all negative, and the reduction in work makes him seem a little impatient.

But no matter how impatient you are, it is useless, only a few feathers of snow will slowly drift in outside the open guild gate. This made Arrow even start to wonder if a certain snow elf would come over and entrust him with the work.

"Whew-"

Finally, two people walked through the door one after the other.

But after seeing these two people, Arrow didn't show much joy.

Brad took off his cloak, shook it slightly, shook off the snowflakes on it, and walked in with a smile.

Then came the holy bread, and the priest patted himself on the shoulder, and walked in with him.

"Close the door, thank you."

Arrow lowered his head and continued to ponder his guild's revenue, and said casually.

Brad turned around and closed the door, and said to the Holy Cake on the side, "Uncle Holy Cake, are you really sure that there will be no problems with those corpses?" Although it's been more than half a month......"

Holy Cake smiled, put the staff in his hand on the table, took off the cloak and patted it, and said with a smile: "Well, basically I'm pretty sure. Whether it's the curse of the ghouls, or the curse of those hooktoothed rats. These curses should only have an effect on living people, and will automatically expire once the host dies. We've been watching for so long, and nothing unusual has happened in the mine, so I'm sure by now that those curses aren't going to cause a widespread outbreak. ”

Brad exhaled and laughed. He then reached out and took out Parfay, who had been curled up in his pocket. As soon as Parfay's head popped out of his pocket, and after seeing that the white snow world around him was no longer the vast white world, he immediately regained his energy and flew out and flew to the side of Arrow here-

"President! It's so cold, our world, it's not so, it's cold. Whew~~ Spring, when is it coming? ”

During this time, the flower fairy's words were getting better and better. Arrow estimates that in about half a year, she should be able to talk to everyone without barriers.

Arrow smiled and said, "It's just winter, and it will take a long time for the weather to warm up after the Holy Night Festival. ”

Parfay pursed her lips, a little upset, and flew back into Brad's pocket and shrunk back.

Once winter, this flower leprechaun is a little drowsy, like a plant that wants to hibernate.

Hearing the sound from the first floor, Coco also walked down from the second floor. While Brad and the Sacred Cake were greeting, the necromancer went to the kitchen and brought out a pot of tea that had been hot and poured a cup for the two of them.

The holy cake smiled, sat down and rubbed his hands, picked up the tea and took a sip.

Arrow looked at his account book, and estimated that it was another whiteboard today.

Once he felt that he seemed unlikely to make any more money, the president looked a little away. He put down his pen and walked to the opposite side of the Holy Cake and said, "Uncle Holy Cake, how are you doing now?" How much magic is there? ”

The Holy Cake smiled, raised his hand and squeezed it slightly, then let go, and said, "Hmm...... The mana consumption of Light Forbidden Land is really a bit large. This is a very powerful sealing spell, and even in the Holy See of Light, the mana consumption of this magic is one of the best. Matched by the huge mana cost, this light magic can be imprisoned for a very long time. That's why I can guarantee that the Ghoul King won't have any problems even after he gets away from me. ”

"Well...... Although the mana cost of this magic is very huge, on the other hand, my recovery aspect is somewhat ...... Complex. ”

Ai Luo was slightly stunned: "Complicated? ”

At this time, the cat over there raised its head slowly, yawned, and said, "Is it because it's winter?" ”

Holy Cake nodded and said, "Yes, because in winter, the element of light is a little less in the surrounding environment. Naturally, my process of absorbing magic became much slower. So I've only regained about half of my mana at most now. And as the winter temperatures get colder, there should be less and less light magic I can draw from the air. Well...... President Arrow, are you going to want to kick me away because I'm going to be bothering you until next spring? “

Arrow laughed, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Look at what Uncle Saint Cake said, although I am a businessman, I will also be reasonable. Now that you're a member of our guild, even if you're only a temporary member, you're part of our Mermaid Song. Of course, there is nothing to say about taking care of you. ”

Of course, the reason why he was able to support Arrow's stubbornness was that the high priest paid for his meals. In addition, it is not troublesome to arrange a place for him to stay, anyway, there are still many vacant rooms on his second floor. As long as the presence of this priest does not cause an additional economic deficit for himself, then of course Arrow will not fail to give him a good look.

"Hey, priest."

The only one who could speak so unceremoniously was that Napa.

The cat monster yawned, wagged its tail slightly, and said with a slightly lazy breath—

"Although you said two reasons why your magic is difficult to recover, there is a third point, and I want to ask you clearly."

When the holy bread looked back at Napa, the cat spoke: "Originally, I thought that the remnants of the light magic on our family leader came from you, but then I took a closer look at you, and although your light magic affinity is strong, it is not so strong. In other words, there was a person in that barracks who had a higher affinity for light magic. ”

"At the same time, in the second half of the night when you returned from sealing the Corpse Eater Queen, I felt a powerful magic of light bloom in the barracks. Although it was only for a short moment, the affinity of that magic of light was no longer comparable to that of your mere high priest. It was precisely because of that momentary burst of magic that I felt that the light magic elements near Pelican Town and the mine were consumed in that instant. I think that's why you've been so slow to recover for so long. “

Holy Bread's face stiffened a little, and the smile on his lips became less natural.

Napa ignored it and continued, "But until now, you haven't told us that there is such a powerful light magic affinity in the barracks. Is this another high priest of the Holy See? You haven't recovered for so long, and then that colleague of yours doesn't come to you and doesn't worry about you? Here's why. ”

Being questioned like this by this cat monster, the holy cake looked very embarrassed.

He sighed, shook his head a little helplessly, and said, "Vice President, you are really powerful. Do you know how many tedious steps and how many tests we humans need to go through if we humans want to determine whether a human has a magical affinity or not, and what kind of magical affinity it has? But you can judge just by looking at it. Heck, if you go to the magic department of the old Tengshu Academy as a teacher, I'm afraid that many of the staff of the relevant evaluation agencies in the magic department will be unemployed immediately. ”

Coco stepped forward with some pride, picked up the cat lying on the cushion, and held it in his arms.

Although Napa was a little upset at first, the little girl moved her casually, but she felt comfortable in her arms...... So I won't say much.

"So, Vice President. Because we humans can't directly judge whether a person has a magical affinity, nor can we judge what kind of magical affinity a person is without using any instruments. Therefore, I can only reluctantly say to you here that I really don't know what that huge burst of light magic you are talking about, and I don't know who else in the military camp has such a powerful light magic affinity. But then again, if there really is such a person who has a stronger affinity for the magic of light than I am, I would happily introduce him to our church. After all, there are too many people who can be rescued by the magic of light. ”
