The city of Mildavo, in the Kingdom of Prorentina, has welcomed its new visitor.

A magical skyship carrying many survivors of the crash slowly landed on the city's moorings.

Many of the people who had suffered and suffered came down from its cockpit one by one, and they were received with great apology by those who had been waiting here for a long time, and they were carefully accommodated.

"This accident is the fault of our union, please forgive me!"

The middle-aged director of the Magic Skyship Guild shook hands with everyone who stepped off the Magic Skyship, bowed, or had a sad expression, and then quietly apologized and expressed condolences to them.

In addition, they have prepared a large compensation for each passenger as a negligible compensation for this accident.

Although this was not entirely the fault of their Demon Sky Boat Guild, but only caused by an unexpected attack by the Demon Beast Horde, they were willing to take this responsibility.

Soon, Xia also walked off the magic sky boat with two escort mercenaries, and the middle-aged director seemed to have learned the details of the accident from some people, and he hurriedly stepped forward and expressed his heartfelt thanks to her.

Xia looked at the middle-aged director's sincere expression, but didn't say anything, just shook his hand, neither polite nor cold.

She did not refuse the compensation and gratitude sent by the Demon Sky Boat Union, and accepted it directly.

Xia didn't participate in the apology and condolence banquet specially held by the Demon Sky Boat Guild for everyone somewhere in the city, but chose to rest in the hotel for a whole night and make a slight adjustment. Then, early the next morning, she took Mary Anjica and Trea Kukukl, two mercenaries, and set off on her way.

You know, there's not much time left for her right now.

It is worth mentioning that a certain traveler girl named Claire Pandams, as well as Captain Rip and several crew members who are familiar with her, also came to see her off early in the morning.

"Goodbye, then!"

She waved goodbye to these partners who had met in Pingshui but had experienced hardships together, with a relaxed and calm expression: "I hope to meet again in the future!"

"Miss Xia, goodbye!"

Captain Rip also said goodbye to her very freely, saying that he would invite her to drink when he saw her next time, but a certain traveler girl with a double ponytail was a little reluctant, and her eyes were slightly red.

It is foreseeable that after today, it is estimated that everyone who knows each other on this magic airboat will go their separate ways, and it will be difficult to see each other again in the future.

"Hahaha...... This adventure story has added a little more excitement to my mercenary career! Ahem......"

Trea Kukukl, who was not yet fully healed, laughed, and his slightly pale face was a little more bloody, but this laugh seemed to involve his wound again, causing him to cough repeatedly.

The performance of this braggadocio made everyone laugh out loud, adding a touch of joy to the scene of saying goodbye to each other.

......

Natsu and the two mercenaries boarded a magical sky ship that flew to the northern part of the Kingdom of Prorentina and arrived at their destination two days later.

But the rest of the road was not as smooth and comfortable as it was, because the place was very remote, and there was no suitable route for the magic skyship, which required them to ride their own horses.

Even the road is extremely bumpy.

The weather in the northern part of the Kingdom of Prorentina is already extremely cold, with snow all year round.

Now, it's early winter, and it's not a good time to travel.

Snowflakes fell one by one from the gray sky, and when they encountered a strong wind on the way, they turned into cold knives, which made people's faces hurt.

On a rugged and barren mountain road, three horses were struggling to make their way, and the three men with their backs hunched on their backs were clasping their cloaks tightly in an attempt to retain as much warmth as possible in the cold air.

All around, in addition to the bare mountains, there is a pile of snow, and I don't know how long it has been falling.

The group continued on the snow-covered mountain road, climbed over this mountain, crossed another river, and onward, leaving a neat and messy horseshoe print, which stretched for a long time, and its end was not visible, perhaps long since it was drowned by the wind and snow.

"Miss Xia, look, it's a small town!"

After some time, the man on horseback suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the distance ahead.

There, wisps of smoke rise, making it clear that it is sunset.

"Well, it looks like we're almost there. ”

One of the men on horseback looked up, looked in that direction a few times, and nodded.

"Whew, it's finally coming, it's been a long journey!"

The man who got her response let out a long breath, and in the cold air, he blew out a long way, and his tone sighed a little.

This person is none other than the mercenary who has recovered from his injuries, Trea Kukukl.

In fact, the experience of rushing with injuries was indeed not a good experience for him, and in the first few days, every slightly larger movement could make him grin in pain.

Now, seeing that he is about to arrive at the destination of this mission, he is really relieved.

"Cheer up, Trea!"

And Mary Anjeka, the deputy leader of the 'Scarlet Glory' mercenary group, glanced at him lightly, and signaled to him with a warning in his eyes: "Don't show such a lax appearance before you really complete the task! If you let down your guard at such a time, you are not a qualified mercenary!"

"Yes yes yes ......"

Treya Kukukel looked at the unobstructed road leading to the town in front of him, shrugged his shoulders, and said in an indifferent tone: "Ninety-nine steps, but falling at the last step, this is a great lesson and admonition in the mercenary world!"

“...... Hmph!"

His indifferent laziness naturally made Marie Anjeka angry and glared at him angrily.

As an employer, Xia, she has long been surprised by this scene, along the way, these two people have a lot of quarrels, it is completely a dispute caused by two guys with completely different philosophies of doing things together, but it makes this boring journey more of a pastime.

Although a certain mercenary had set up a lot of flags before, he was not a crow's mouth after all, and the three of them still arrived at the town very smoothly.

......

"Whew!"

In a warm hotel, Trea Kukukl raised his glass and took a big sip of wine, and then, with a sigh, he exclaimed, "This smell is really a long time away, and it makes people miss it so much!"

"Oh? Have you been to our town before?"

When the elderly innkeeper heard this, he couldn't help but smile kindly and struck up a conversation with him.

You know, this wine is made by his own hands, and he is the only one of his own, and he is very confident in his craft, so he is naturally very happy with the praise of his guests.

"No, not yet. ”

Treya Kukukl shook her head and denied it.

“... Uh, that guest you just ......"

"Oh, I'm talking about wine......"

“......”

"However, boss, your wine does taste good......

Although someone who reacted later tried to make amends, a certain innkeeper turned around and left with a dark face to prepare today's dinner for the three of them.

“...... This old man, he must be so angry that he wants to poison our food tonight, right?"

Looking at the back of the innkeeper who left with an unhappy face, Trea Kukukel touched the stubble on his chin, pretending to be suspicious, but was slapped the hand by his deputy captain.

Suddenly, a certain veteran mercenary smiled and didn't dare to say anything more.

Xia didn't pay attention to this scene, she was looking through the window, quietly looking somewhere far away, where, behind the mountainside of the snow-capped mountain, a pointed tower could be faintly seen, hidden in the wind and snow.

That was the final destination of her trip.

The legendary mage, Raj Doll Kapkris, the magic tower where he lives!
