The festival lasts for more than a week, but most of the orphans who come out of here already have their own families. On the third day, they all set off and left, and the originally noisy atmosphere suddenly became a lot colder.

After the holiday, there were several heavy snowfalls, but fortunately, the temperature did not drop significantly. Otherwise, Anna felt like she would be sealed under the covers. Haha, of course, this is just Anna's wishful thinking, because Mama Dogget, who loves her the most, will always appear in front of her bed at the moment of dawn every day.

She couldn't escape the matter of being pulled out of her ears once.

Recently, there are a few more snowmen in the huge courtyard of the orphanage. Burn the remaining charcoal from a campfire, decorate the snowman's facial features (presumably four, because it has no ears), and use a tree branch or a broom to decorate the snowman's arms. Fat, fat, short, thin, with different shapes, at first glance they are not the same person.

In addition, the daily skill training does not stop because of the heavy snowfall.

Anna began to teach Yani how to use the elements, or magic. It is important to know that in battle, the weapon will be multiplied by the user's combat power through the blessing of magic power.

Difference Between Warrior and Mage. Through meditation, mages gain recognition from the natural world, and are able to use the power of nature to convert magic into physical attacks. Warriors use their elemental magic to bless or create corresponding physical attack skills.

That is, one of them can draw power from nature, and the other cannot. Of course, there is a third group of people, referred to simply as the "incapacitated", who are destined to be disconnected from adventurers from the moment they are born. Even if he forcibly cultivates, he can only exist as a lowest-level miscellaneous soldier.

On February 10, the seventh day after the Festival of Fire, the heavy snow stopped for three days.

Anna reclined in a rocking chair by the fireplace, flipping through a copy of the Imperial Central newspaper that had just been delivered by a griffin. In this kind of weather, these docile big guys will come out to carry out their mission loyally. The date at the top of the newspaper is February 4, 40, presumably because it has been delayed by heavy snow in the past two days, and most of the news written on it is some news of great victories on the front.

The cover reads the news of the Empire's upcoming spring conscription, along with a photograph of a male soldier in a new uniform. I think the most attractive thing is probably the rifle in the soldier's hand and the ruby pendant on his chest.

"So handsome!"

With Yani's nymphomania-like voice, a face full of determination in immaturity appeared in Anna's sight. And at this moment, Yani was staring at the soldier in the newspaper, and something like a little star appeared in her eyes.

"Yani, accompany me to town in the afternoon. ”

Anna suddenly remembered that she had run out of soap powder for washing her hair. In winter, you don't have to wash your hair every once in a while, but if you don't keep your hair fresh, it's definitely a nightmare for girls.

Every time she washes and combs her hair, Anna always thinks "why don't you cut your hair short".

"Okay!" "Hey, you said I'm going to be a soldier too, okay?"

"Not good!"

"Why?"

Yani's voice was full of complaints and dissatisfaction. Ideas such as "why can my sister go to the army, but I can't" quickly occupied her brain.

"No, it just doesn't work, there's no reason. ”

(Don't let me go?I'll go secretly, huh!)

"If I find out you're secretly signing up, I'll consider breaking your leg first?"

Yani stuck out her tongue, feeling that her old sister was so terrifying, she could guess her careful thoughts at once.

Because of the heavy snowfall that had just fallen, the road to the town was basically cut off. Half a leg deep in snow was a disaster for a short man like Anna.

However, Anna quickly came up with a solution. Because of this kind of ghost weather, it can be used to help Yani train her mastery of the elements.

"Yani, look at it!"

Anna began to assemble the wind element under her feet, and when the wind element was almost gathered, two translucent skis appeared in front of Yani.

Anna jumped onto the thick snow and stepped back and forth to make sure it was safe and feasible. Only then did he signal to Yani and follow her style.

Gathering the wind element is not difficult for Yani. But it is not so easy to grasp when it is aggregated to a certain density and compressed into molding. Yani was even overturned several times by the elemental power she had gathered. Fortunately, there was blood all around, otherwise I would have to fall with a blue nose and swollen face.

"Don't be in a hurry to make a form, you just need to feel it and control it so that you don't sink into the bottom of the snow. "Well done, keep going, that's what it feels like. ”

Soon, Yani was able to stand on the snow, although she would walk like a child who had just learned to walk because she couldn't control the "amount" well. Walking on the snow with both legs deep and shallow, staggering.

"Give me your hands! Remember you're skiing, skiing, you know?"

Yani nodded. She also poses in the same posture as Anna, with her legs bent and drooping, and leaning forward. She was curious about what the old lady would do next.

The reaction force, like a maglev train, causes Anna to drive the element to give the skateboard on her feet a reverse thrust. In an instant, it was as if a person was flying on snow. Just like the light power floating in Chinese martial arts, when you get fast enough to a certain speed, you won't sink.

It was close to noon when the two finally arrived in town. In the middle of this, Yani threw two big horses because of her lack of strength. Anna almost fell into the snow hole.

To Yani's surprise, she had planned to go to the supply store to buy soap powder for cleaning, but instead she was attracted by the sound of a dozen irons and went to the weapons store.

The weapons shop was thriving, and a dwarven craftsman was fiddling with the charcoal from the stove to make sure it kept the temperature at the right level.

Anna has an indescribable affinity for the dwarves, probably because they once sat and drank together. She was curious that there were still dwarves doing business here in the wartime empire.

In the furnace, there is an iron embryo of a battle axe, and in the dark corner, there are all kinds of finished weapons and armor.

"Wow!"

Yani seems to have her eye on a one-handed sword with a gauntlet. When I picked it up, I looked a little in love with it.

Of course, there are also many weapons that even Anna has never seen before. This makes the two girls' families very attractive.

"Do you want to buy it?"

"No need ......"

In the face of the old lady's inquiry, Yani's eyes wandered between the one-handed sword and the price next to it.

She had just registered as an adventurer, but she didn't have the courage to buy that sword, which was the money she had to work for a whole year. And that's not even counting the cost of eating and drinking.

"Or ...... , or forget it. ”

Finally, Yani carefully put the one-handed sword back on the shelf. Turn your eyes to other objects.

"Two, you need to buy something. ”

The dwarf finally finished his work, and while removing his mask, he greeted him very cordially, in line with the principle that everyone who came was a guest.

The well-developed beard of the dwarf occupies almost more than half of the face. People will worry about whether he will let the splashing sparks ignite the lush beard when he strikes the iron.

"This!"

Anna placed a few pieces the size of an adult's palm on the table in front of the dwarf. It was at the time of Bantu that the Frost Dragon gave her dragon scales.

"Three days, I need three days!"

This was the dwarf's answer after touching his beard and considering it for a few minutes.

"If there's anything left, I'd like to be able to make a rapier like that sword. ”

Yani never knew that her old sister was so arrogant. But she knew that the rapier that the old lady said must have been made for her.

"It's a bit difficult, but for the sake of such a good material, I can add a little bit of other material. ”

The dwarf habitually stroked his beard with pride.

"Yes, it's a deposit. ”

Anna placed the deposit on the table, which was stacked of ten stacked Imperial gold coins.

The two walked out of the weapons shop, and just as a man in an Imperial uniform bumped into each other. On the side, a man who looked like a guard shouted "Are you blind?"

"Major!"

A familiar voice rang out.

"Lieutenant Elulik!

"You know?"

Yani, who was worried about how to apologize to the soldiers, showed a surprised expression because of the conversation between the two.

"I don't know, the major is my Bole!"

After sending the accompanying guards away, Elulik explained first.

"Hey!!"

Yani looked at her sister's eyes. (It turns out that the old lady is so powerful)

"Lieutenant, what is this?"

Elulik looked around, turned around again, and said, "If it's a major, it's not that it can't be said. ”

As he spoke, Elulik's eyes occasionally drifted to Yani behind Anna.

"Yani, buy me something and come back!"

(What's the matter!) ）

Yani was reluctant, but walked towards the grocery store in front of her.

"Here's the thing......"

It turned out that after accepting Anna's suggestion, Alulik stayed in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Imperial Capital, although he was not greatly promoted, but he was also quite popular.

On the Eastern Front, since the capture of Wycott, a large number of soldiers have begun to suffer. In order to salvage the impending decadence, the Empire will have to consider whether to open up new battlefields.

This time, he came to the west because he was assigned by the General Staff Headquarters as a pioneer officer to inspect the construction of a recruit training base in Hemalton.

In addition, as one of the heads of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Elulik revealed another piece of information to Anna.

In the list of recruits in charge of the boot camp, Anna's name is in the first position.
