A day later in the evening. Beihaiwang Port.

After receiving unexpected information from Eddes that Vicor was an old hunter, at the suggestion of Mad Dog (in fact, Sister Rusa and the elf had planned to go to the festival), several of them went to Beihai to look, hoping that Vicor could give a useful hint: after all, as long as the location of the hot spring glacier in the eastern mountains can be found, the situation can be broken.

Lusa and the others followed the address given by the lord to the door of Vicol's house. However, the person who opened the door was unexpected, Uncle Morse. Before he could explain his origin, he warmly invited a few people to enter and wait.

"Why are you all here?" Morse slammed his mouth in surprise as he handed the drunken Lucina and Mad Dog wine, and moved the half-eaten roast chicken on the table aside, "You're here for sightseeing, right? I know, I know! The Frost Festival is coming soon, and you see the streets are all starting to decorate." ”

"yes, but there's something else to do. Shaking her legs, Lucina seemed satisfied with the height of her stool: "Uh-huh...... Where's Vicor?"

"I went to the library to borrow a book, and I haven't come back yet. With a hiccup, the blacksmith looked drunk: "Uh...... Did you have something to do with him? I thought I just wanted to stay here and wait for the festival. It's a big house, but it can't fit so many people. ”

So, the knight took the lead and explained the origin, and offered to stay here until Vicol returned. Morse looked surprised.

"You want to go to the eastern mountains, but the black ice there must have blocked the whole area. Trying to stop a few people, Morse hurriedly said: "Don't try, you won't get anything out of going there." You can't even get in. ”

"We're not going now. It was intended to destroy the device in that area before proceeding. After lazily saying this, Mad Dog had already poured a whole bottle of beer: "Of course, it can't be a few of us looking for it." After all, there are only two Aiya knights who can be sent into battle. There's not much to do lately anyway, so we're going to stay here and wait for Mace to fix the generator. ”

"That's what happened...... I heard that Metz sent Deleno to move the rescuers, and yesterday they left by boat from the port. Once that master is here, our army can act. As long as our snow crows can get into the mountains, there is naturally a way to destroy the device. Smiling, Morse looked very confident: "Anyway, the recent battle situation is very optimistic, and there is nothing to worry about." ”

Speaking of which......

Before we left, the old snow crow, Ivan Myrton, came to talk to us. He offered to take him with him when he went to the eastern mountains and even when he was investigating in the future. In addition, he even promised to blow up the device once he could get into the mountains.

That old man is really enthusiastic, and his strength is so strong...... Unfortunately, we suspected that he was a replicat.

"If nothing else, it will take more than twenty days for Derno to return. After pondering for a moment, Lucina looked at the silent knight and asked, "There will be no breakthrough in studying the notes." It's almost frost festival these days, so let's eat, drink, and be merry-"

-- Prostitution, gambling, and smoking. It's really a man's romance. With a smile on her face, the mad dog approached Lusa with a disgusting smile: "How is it, Lusha? I'll go buy some snacks with my brother in a while? I'll pay for whatever you want, you're welcome." ”

"Why are you buying a snack and putting on such a disgusting smile? As soon as she heard the snack, Lucina hurriedly swallowed: "I'm going too." ”

"Then you pay the bill yourself, Lao Tzu will be poor if you invite you to eat. Without giving Lucina the slightest face, the mad dog smiled and looked directly at Lucina: "I am not obligated to invite you." Besides, I'm poor too. ”

"You still have at least 400 gold coins in your pocket, right?! The tyrant with 1.2 million Farr assets still dares to say that he has no money...... So what do you make me think?" Touching her empty pocket, Lucina hung her head in frustration: "I gave Derno eighty euros, and now I have three fars left in my pocket." ”

Hearing this, the elf, who had been drinking water, squirted out all the liquid in his mouth, almost squirting on the knight......: "How much? It's hard to buy a loaf of bread. And if you count those rewards, you can't make up eighty euros, can you?"

"Hmm. I borrowed some of Lusa's money too...... I finally had the opportunity to buy wands and spellcasting materials, of course, I had to get some high-end goods in one step. Smiling embarrassedly, Lucina looked at Lusa, who was playing with the dumplings, and said, "Sister will pay you back when she earns money in the future, Lusa." Believe in my strength. ”

"Hmm. Nodding, Lusha looked a little distressed: "But in the past five years, we have basically been poor and can't even afford to eat jam, sister, you obviously won't make money." ”

"Woo ......" wanted to say something more, but Lucina choked on her sister's words, and she didn't have the face to look up again: she remembered the memories of when she had wandered around with a witcher. At that time, the poor could only gnaw on the bark of trees, so they had to be cheeky and walk with him (rubbing rice to eat).

It's a shame that an enchanted mage can be mixed up like this!Clenching her palms, Lucina tried to convince herself that it was all society's fault.

In fact, in this thirteenth world and the fourteenth world before it, Aya was easily hunted down by people, and most of the other worlds of the World Tree allowed Aya to live freely - especially in places where humans were scarce.

I don't know why, many humans in both worlds go around capturing Aya to satisfy different kinds of desires. Some are for money, some are for power, and some are for health. It's very sick.

The gang was despised by Lucina and considered to be a pure barbarian. But Lusa felt that they were hateful but forgivable. To put it bluntly, isn't it just that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people? It is because of these greedy bastards that the Aiya sisters have struggled step by step, and they have only traveled a few worlds in so many years. According to the original idea of the two, they just kept walking to the top of the world tree. The kingdom there will protect them.

"You haven't eaten yet, why don't you just go out to the restaurant?" Morse suggested, "I heard that there are a few new shops that sell a lot of sweets...... I've heard you guys have a sweet tooth, right?"

"No, it's just the three of them who like it - Aya plus Mad Dog. The knight sighed, "Let's eat in two groups, it doesn't match their taste." ”

"That's fine. Coughing a few times, the blacksmith patted his stomach and looked drunk: "Go now? I just had a stomach full of wine and haven't eaten yet." ”
