The land that used to be as dry and hot as the western region of the continent has now completely turned into a snowy field. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

I can't see the end in sight.

"Are you sure we really teleported?"

"Kouhu, little ghost, you don't even believe me St. Timia El Yunsong!?"

"No, no, but from the outside, it's all within the Satie chieftain's domain?"

We were hiding in a cave, a very, very small crevasse in the rock, which was smaller than an ordinary cave.

After being pulled into Timia's Abyssal Gate, it was as if he was shuttling through a deadly battlefield, and his whole body was overwhelmed by a feeling of pain that was about to be torn into several pieces.

I finally managed to get out of it, but I found myself still standing on the endless snowfield.

At that time, it was a feeling that nothing mattered.

"Shh

Timia hurriedly covered my mouth.

Whoosh –

A group of Satie chieftains flew swiftly through the air above us.

After clarifying the current situation, we erased all traces of magic on our bodies and went into hiding.

At least the strategy is still in effect - no Satie Sheikh will be able to spot us.

Now that they realized that magic didn't work, they had to split up and conduct a dragnet manual search.

"I was able to hide my tracks, I didn't expect your magic to be so useful."

"How strange is that the flattery that comes out of your mouth is not respectful at all?"

Well, Princess Timia came to complain about me.

"Anyway, did you figure out how this snowfield magic works?"

Timia's brow hung down and she shook her head slightly.

The princess reached out and grabbed a handful of snowflakes from the rocks outside.

Then I carefully picked out a piece of it and put it on my arm.

It was like being pricked by a needle, and the pain was slight, but it wasn't as intense as it had been.

When the snowflakes melt, only a small red dot the size of a pin's eye is left on the skin.

"First of all, this magic really only works for you and Ellie"

Princess Timia said, looking at Ellie, who was in my arms as if she were asleep.

The little one let out a calm breathing sound, and his face was serene.

I didn't feel any pain from the soul link, and Ellie's spirit was as relaxed as if she was really asleep.

"But the effect of this snowflake should only erode the existing magic power in your body, and it will not affect the source of your magic power?"

This is in line with my feelings.

Elle and I felt a loss of power from Corlius to cast a spell, and by the time countless snowflakes fell from the sky, Elle and I had lost a lot of our magic.

So it can be inferred that-

"This snowflake is just to speed up the consumption of the remaining mana in our bodies, and before that, he has somehow sealed the source of our mana"

Timia nodded at me, agreeing with me.

"So you see, now that your magic has almost faded, the snowflakes don't react to you anymore."

Unfortunately, Timia is also an excellent elf who knows magic, but she is not a doctor after all, and she can't analyze anything more.

And after losing Ellie's knowledge, I was not much different from an ordinary high school student.

The current situation is something that Timia and I can't solve, if Mespier can't send reinforcements sooner...... We're really done.

Ellie's condition was rapidly deteriorating, and while I didn't feel any pain, I could sense through the soul link that the little one was in the midst of the biggest crisis ever.

"Don't be anxious, little ghost"

"How do you know I'm agitated"

"It's all written on your face"

"Sorry......"

Please, whoever it is, come and help us...... At the very least, help Ellie......

"Scalding...... Tsk"

A burning sensation suddenly came from my back and made me jump in shock.

"Hey, little ghost, what are you doing!"

"No, it looks like some magic is at work!"

"Huh?"

Timia and I immediately stood behind us.

I saw that a small red dot was gradually getting brighter and brighter, and the temperature around it was also rising.

"Ue ~ I know this magic"

Timia looked disgusted.

"It's Mespier"

"Elven King!?"

I was overjoyed.

But I suddenly felt a sense of loss in my heart, and now I can't even feel the fluctuations of my magic power.

Like a red-hot charcoal fire, the surrounding air gradually condensed towards the core of the magic, forming red, whitish pieces that gradually formed into human shapes.

But isn't this head much worse than Mespier?

When the heat and fire cleared, we were greeted by a sweatshirt and jeans, white sneakers, long black hair tied up, and a standard gym attire.

"Liu Xiao!?"

"Yo, brother, aren't you dead yet?"

"Uh......h This greeting really makes me feel complicated......"

Liu Xiao looked at Ellie in my arms and immediately frowned.

"What's going on?"

"That's the problem, we don't know what's going on."

"Shut up, kid"

Timia realized that I couldn't control my emotions and couldn't even say a complete sentence, so she explained to Liu Xiao what had happened before.

"That is, it is not affected by magic, but it has lost its magical powers"

Liu Xiao was also confused after hearing this.

"But I'm afraid that the magic you teleported over has already revealed our location, so let's ...... it now."

"Don't worry, I guess you've fallen into passivity, that's why I asked Mespier to use a magic that is not easy to detect, and this teleportation magic is a waste of time, otherwise I could have arrived earlier"

"Liu Xiao, you have no confidence in us, I'm also very hurt."

"Look at the way you guys, are you embarrassed?"

"Uh......"

"Why didn't Meispil come?"

Timia asked, a look of disgust.

"He'll teleport with his entire army, and that will take more time."

"The whole army?"

"I don't have time to explain that much, let's figure out what happened to Ellie."

"What are you going to do?"

"I used my detective magic to infiltrate the soul link between Elle and my brother, and I used this to find out what was going on."

"But now Elle is unconscious, and there is only a very faint feeling on the soul link......"

When I said this, my mood became extremely lost.

"Is there any way to make Elle a little more sober, like pinching someone or something?"

"Hey, she's an elf, she can't use human methods......"

"This one looks at me"

Timia volunteered.

The princess gently leaned into Ellie's ear.

"Ellie Heranna, if you burp a fart, I'll take the imp for myself"

“......”

“...... Don't think about ......"

As if awakened from a dream, Ellie snapped open her eyes and grabbed Timia's hair.

Huh—Is that okay?

Seeing Ellie's eyes slowly close again, she still refused to let go of her clenched hands.

"Ah, it hurts, let go, ah, no, take this opportunity!"

Timia is also really hardworking.

"If there is yours, I owe you"

Liu Xiao said as he spoke, immediately activating the already prepared detection magic.
