Section E, Chapter 9: Permafrost (Loelle)
Anusen had already settled his share of the food and was quietly watching.
Guladan stayed aside and began to put Minia on her head for her own pleasure.
"Lucina, don't you feel uncomfortable eating so much?" the knight watched like this, and couldn't help but ask, "Even if Aya has a strong digestive ability, you are too different from ordinary people." β
"I don't know...... But I just don't feel like it's going to last!" Lucina, who was busy eating baked apples, thought for a while, but didn't have any clear thoughts: "Isn't this just right!"
"It is said that sister, you didn't eat that much before you died. Luca looked at Lucina with admiration, enjoying her sister's appearance at dinner.
"Die, before you die?" It's okay not to say it, but as soon as she said this, Loelle, who was drinking coffee, suddenly became panicked: "Is Lucina a ghost now?!"
"How do I feel that I have told you about this......" Lucina was a little confused for a moment, but she still got proud and exclaimed, "Yes, that's right!
"Wow...... It's amazing!" Unexpectedly, the elf became excited at this time: "It's a living ghost!"
"Hey, there's no such thing as a living ghost!" Lucina was stunned, feeling that the situation was completely different from what she had imagined: she had expected that according to Loelle's previous reaction, she would definitely be frightened.
After briefly explaining Lucina's situation to Loelle, the elf was very surprised to hear it, and looked at Lucina with a little unusual eyes.
If you have to say it, it's like you're looking at some unknown creature.
"Youβdon't look at me like you look at a museum exhibition!" Lucina smiled dryly, feeling uncomfortable, "What's so strange about this. β
At this time, the knight was filling the fireplace with firewood. Outside, it was snowing heavily, the wind was howling, and there was a thick fog.
As soon as the fire in the fireplace went down, the whole room was cold. Even frost-resistant snowmen have to sleep with a stove lit, not to mention outsiders like knights who are not frost-resistant.
"No, it's so strange!" the elf was excited, and the light blonde hair was smoother in the light of the fire, "It's the first time I've seen such a person......!
"No, I refuse. Knowing that Loel wanted to interview about it, Lucina immediately refused.
"How can you ...... this?" looked down at the tail of ice, which seemed to be dead, and the bard looked disappointed: "There is no loss in talking about it." β
It's inconvenient to talk about these things to this unfamiliar person...... Lucina still didn't know Loelle well, so she wasn't going to say anything more to her.
"It's so cold in this place. Seeing that Lucina didn't mean to answer, the elf had no choice but to sit down again, and felt a little chill on her body except for the place where she wore pantyhose.
Therefore, she hurriedly changed her position closer to the stove.
"In the land of permafrost, cold is of course. It is necessary to take precautions against the cold. Anusen looked at Loelle in black tundra tights that were far more resistant to the cold than ordinary fabrics (the special warmth of tundra had to be used in a cold place to start working), but only in autumn dresses made of ordinary fabrics, and knew what was going on: "You'll have to change all your dresses to winter styles." Preferably permafrost fabrics. β
In winter, as long as you wear clothes made of frozen cotton, even if it is very light and thin, it can keep warm well, but it will not be hot in a normal temperature place. Loved by all kinds of people, especially young women.
Of course, this is not an enchanted garment, and you can't think that if you wear it, you won't feel cold outside. It's just a light style instead of a bulky padded coat, and it's not a one-size-fits-all thing. In addition, the frozen cotton must be in contact with the air to be effective, which means that no additional layer of clothing can be put on the outside.
The most popular ones are pantyhose and stockings made of tundra cotton. And then there's the dresses that go with them.
Frozen soil fabrics are exported not only in permafrost, but also in some cold places. However, this fabric was first used by the people of the Permafrost.
"I have winter clothes in my bag...... But not from permafrost. Loelle looked a little worried: "It's too cold here, maybe it's better to put on frozen soil fabric." β
"Go to Central City, where I've seen a lot of clothing stores. Anusen listened, and replied, "Lusha, they may be willing to accompany you to buy it." β
"Then you'll have to treat me to dinner. When Lucina heard this, she didn't care. However, such a good opportunity is not seized in vain.
"Huh, me?" Loelle was confused, realizing that Aya was staring at her.
"Who else could it be!" Lucina smiled, obviously ill-intentioned, "It's just a meal, it doesn't cost much." β
"You, who are you fooling! Eating so much must cost a lot of money. Loelle panicked and was not fooled at all: "It's okay to have a snack or something...... I don't have a lot of money on me. β
Frostbold flew up to Icetail, seemingly interested in him.
After all, it was picked up by Lucina last night and smashed the shell of the ice tail.
"Almost killed me!" Icetail shouted in fear afterwards.
"It's not a problem that you don't have a lot of money!" Lucina was particularly excited: "I'm such a connotative woman, it's okay to eat a snack casually." β
"Really, really......" Loelle still seemed to be terrified, in short, unable to believe it: "Then, we'll go in a moment...... Hopefully the road won't be too cold. β
"I'll cast a spell on you, and you won't be cold. Even the core of the baked apple was swallowed, Lucina said leisurely, and at first glance she knew that she was confident in it: "It's going to be a very idle few days...... They still have to be busy for a few days, and they have to come after the frost festival. β
"What time is the Frost Festival?" said Loelle, a little confused.
"November 10 will last for three days...... Today is the number four. Anusen looked at the calendar and replied.
"I can't wait!" Lucina became excited again at the mention of this, "It must be interesting!"
"Beihaiwang is still in the process of being rebuilt. Many buildings were damaged in the last battle. The knight looked a little worried: "I don't know what it will be like before this festival comes." β
Nowadays, a lot of liquid fire has been imported.
Because it is imported in large quantities, one euro (3,000 fars) can of one can. Much cheaper.
"Liquid fire?" Vicor, who was preparing the alchemy potion at the time, heard it and muttered: "Our college's eldest sister Catherine (who is also an alchemy teacher) is very good at alchemy, and she can also make liquid fire. It's a dangerous thing that ordinary people can't get their hands on. β
Cannet, who wasn't very proficient in demon hunter alchemy, wouldn't have done that. When liquid fire is needed, it is done by getting rid of the master Aprili or Catherine.
