"Oh over here. Lucina pointed to the fork in the road on the left, and the mad dog did as she commanded, pulling the reins and steering the mount to the left.

Aya leaned back comfortably, pressing her negligible weight into the crook of the mad dog's arm. Since only Lucina knows how to go, she is in charge of directing the way.

The hand that grasped the reins began to stiffen a little from the cold wind, and just then, Lucina's two small hands grasped them separately, but they were not large enough to cover half of the backs of their hands. The warm and silky touch immediately hit her, and Aya happily asked, "Is it better?

"Oh, Lao Tzu doesn't wear gloves to ensure the most natural feel. What do you know?" With a shy face, the mad dog didn't want to admit that it was because he forgot to wear it: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, there is a fork in the road again." ”

"Go right and then left, then the next fork in the road and go straight. That's the path I took with the elves last time. Without hesitation, Lucina triumphantly recited it.

This guy has only walked this road once, and he remembers it so clearly. This ability is really strong...... Thinking of this, Seresa blurted out, "If only I could ride you, it would be much more convenient." It doesn't have to be so hard. ”

"Hey, that's for sure! Anyone who has ridden me says it's nice and comfortable. And the ghost war horse is full of blue, cool and high-grade. Smug, Lucina said in a proud tone, "And I run absolutely fast and smooth, and I can change the size according to the size of the rider." Which horse can be stronger than me?"

When the mount is still superior, your Transfiguration is very good...... Besides, not being able to cast spells isn't something to be proud of, isn't it?Deeply aware that Lucina is now a living map, Seresia coughed dryly, feeling extremely warm: think about it, she's a mobile stove. Aya is really convenient, the colder the surrounding temperature, the hotter her body becomes. And vice versa.

The warmth emanating from Aya's body is like the unique fragrance that seems to have healing and refreshing properties. Because Lucina was wearing Aya's backless outfit, a patch of her bare skin pressed against the frostbitten chest of the mad dog, sending warmth to her, healing pinprick numbness and pain. This experience is the complete opposite of the previous fatal pain. If we continue at this pace, we will be completely better in a short time.

Did this guy go with me for this? Subconsciously hugged Lucina tighter, and the mad dog narrowed his eyes: this feels incredible.

Could it be true that Aiya could use the power of angels to make his friends free of distractions regardless of gender? Even if he had more contact, he had never had any lust or evil thoughts about Sister Aya, and he was completely in a very pure state of mind - in short, there was a desire to protect that had not been aroused for a long time. Just like to my former sister.

Although Lao Tzu is a scumbag, it should still be possible to protect the two girls from harm. Many people may think that I am always watching them and trying to do something wrong, but as long as I am sane, it can't happen.

Perhaps this sense of mission to protect the sisters stems from the fact that the Assassins had turned too many people into unjust souls over the years, perhaps just to atone for their sins—the Assassins always needed to be ruthless and abandon most of their humanity in assassination. Otherwise, sooner or later, you will fall into a painful inner struggle and collapse. You only need to take the money to do things, and you can't care about the sins of the people you kill and whether they deserve to die. Whether good or evil, rich or poor, under the blade of the assassin, all human lives are truly equal.

But that's all about Lao Tzu! As soon as he thought of this, Mad Dog was quite proud: I had finally been freed from that life, and I had three traveling companions again. This thing, as expected, is more or less still needed.

"It's almost there!" Lucina whispered, excitedly pointing ahead, "Just go straight to the sign." ”

"Aren't you afraid of the dark now?" Raising his eyes at the sparse and unbright street lamps around him, the mad dog asked comfortably after questioning the meaning of their existence for a while, "Are these oil lamps useless, can a little light make you not afraid?"

Of course I'm scared, it's a little eerie. I don't know if it's a little timid, Lucina clenched the mad dog's big hand harder: "But there are people around to accompany me, so I can feel at ease." ”

Heh, just say that I make you feel very secure, isn't it? It's not frank like Lao Tzu, and it's really a bit of the same feeling...... With a tlug in his mouth, he was silenced by the approaching sign, and said no more: After this section, it is the old town.

In fact, even outsiders can tell what an "old" city is (the new city is about six or seven times the size of the old town, and a large area of the new town, including the central city, originally belonged to the old city and was only expanded and built hundreds of years ago). Since the city itself is so old, this is negligible for hundreds of years. ）。 Because after entering the block, only two avenues are still paved with snow stones. The other roads are very traditionally covered with snow and ice.

Due to the lack of snow stones, the streets here are quite difficult to walk, and the snow can only be removed by hand in the traditional way. As far as the eye can see, the living environment here is not a little worse than that of the new city. It stands to reason that the number of residents living here should be very scarce. On the contrary, however, the population density here is very high - there seem to be quite a few traditional people who like the old way of life and their ancestral homes.

But in contrast, the young people of the Children of Ice prefer to live in places where the snow stones are paved. As a result, the residents of the old town are constantly moving out, leaving behind only some of the still stubborn ones. But the population base here is already huge, and you may not have to worry about becoming depressed in a few decades.

It was for these reasons that successive Metz lords did not decide to continue renovating the Old Town - at least Mad Dog had listened to the nerd of De No, who knows if it was true or not. The guy wanted to tell him why the Mace family had the rule of the Children of Ice, but he got bored and left early.

Due to the softness of the snow, the speed of the horses slowed down significantly. Looking up at the cold moon that diffused a faint blue light, he saw the striking gray tower beneath it. In the hazy snow mist at the top of the tower, a huge body could be faintly seen swaying slightly.
