Chapter 9: Sunny

The sky above the snowy fields was as blue as a jewel, and Huronte, the golden lord of the sun, drove the flaming sun chariot and sped over the snowy fields, illuminating the pale earth. But the scorching sun could not warm the cold on the snowfield, let alone melt the thick snow on the snowfield.

Soon after the sun came out, the quiet town was once again in a state of hustle and bustle, with a prolonged snowstorm covering the town's rooftops and streets, and the wooden roof creaked under the pressure of the snow nearly a meter deep, sounding like it could be crushed by the snow at any moment. Families in the town leave their warm rooms early in the morning, and the whole family moves together to begin the routine clean-up after each heavy snowfall, with the men climbing onto the roofs and laboriously wielding shovels to shovel away the half-frozen snow, while the women work in the yards and streets, clearing the yards and streets with large brooms. As for the young children, dressed in thin clothes, their little hands and faces were red from the cold, they ran wildly along the street, and the flying snowballs covered a range of ten meters around them with the children in the center, and anyone who approached could be accidentally injured by a stray bullet.

A crisp bell rang, twelve half-human tall white dogs roared through the street, the big dogs that had been stuffy for dozens of days let out a cheerful bark, and galloped along the ice-covered streets, behind the dogs, a light sleigh was dragged forward by the dogs, and the bearded mayor sat in the sleigh's position in the hand, while controlling the reins in his hand, he let out a loud shout at the dogs. On the sleigh there are several large buckets, including several barrels wrapped in thick quilts, containing a soup made from the rhizomes of Ballas, a specialty of the snow field, the spicy soup exudes steaming heat, drink a bowl, the warmth will spread from the stomach to the whole body, sweat will seep out of every pore on the body, and the cold and fatigue of the whole body will be swept away. As for the other vats that were not wrapped in quilts, the wafting aroma of wine had betrayed their identity, for the men on the snowfield. It's the best drink and the best medicine, whether it's cold, hunger, pain, or worry. Everything will be so beautiful that even if countless people have died because of them, the men's love for it is still fanatical.

These are free drinks from the town, and they are specially prepared for the townspeople who are struggling with the snow, although it is in everyone's interest to clear the snow. But the town will still provide them with these rewards, although they are not valuable things, but they can show a strong sense of care.

And in a secluded small courtyard in the town, the six members of the adventure group were not idle, according to Catherine, since they borrowed someone's house, at least the roof and yard of the house should be cleaned, so five Legendary-level professionals plus a demigod each picked up a broom and shovel, and began to work like ordinary people.

It's not so much about snow clearing. It is better to say that everyone is playing in the snow under the leadership of Catherine, among the five girls, Vivien and Freya have lived in the Holy Capital all year round, and have hardly seen heavy snow, and occasionally encounter a snow that can cover the ground in the City of Knowledge is already considered heavy snow, so you can imagine the shock when they first came to the snow field. Lina, on the other hand, lived further north as a child, where there was not even snow, let alone a strong snowstorm on the snowfield. As for Eva, for a child who has lived in an artificial space since the day of birth, he can only understand what heavy snow is through the crystal energy network of the former goblins. Only Catherine. Since he had studied in the knight academy in the south of the Falar Empire for several years and experienced several heavy snowfalls, although it was not as spectacular as here, it was not small. So she took the other four girls and had a good time in the name of clearing the snow.

Pannis stood on the roof, listening to the laughter of the girls running around under the eaves, when suddenly his eyes flashed, his mouth cracked open to reveal a strange smile, and he listened with his eyes closed for a while. Suddenly, he quickly waved a shovel to push the snow off the roof under the eaves. The screams of the girls immediately filled the courtyard, and more than half a meter of snow fell from the sky, covering the girls head-on, burying half of the girls' bodies in the snow.

"Pannis!!" Several girls gritted their teeth in hatred, and let out an angry roar together: "You're finished, you come down for me and let us beat you to death, we promise not to spare a breath." ”

Pannis tilted his head and thought about it, smashed his fist into his palm, and once again raised his shovel and lifted a large cloud of snow down: "I won't go down, you are all going to kill me, why should I go down, hahaha, you have the ability to come up, as long as you are not afraid of trampling on other people's roofs, I don't care, hahahaha." ”

"Damn it. Catherine gritted her teeth and looked left and right, and suddenly bent down and grabbed a ball of snowballs, and threw them at Pannis, the snowballs that were actually clenched by the legendary level, and then thrown by the legendary knights, such snowballs were tantamount to stones, flying with the sound of whistling wind, grazing the top of Pannis's head.

"Haha, I didn't hit it. Pannis shrank his head to dodge Catherine's snowball attack, raised another shovel of snow, and slapped the snowball thrown by Lina with a shovel, and laughed cross-legged, "Whahahaha, you can't hit me." ”

The sound of "whoosh" sounded continuously, Eva's movements were almost invisible, dozens of snowballs had flown into the sky in the blink of an eye, and the speed was almost pulling out afterimages in the air, and the strong wind brought by the snowballs directly ploughed a ravine on the snow below. Pannis screamed, his body twisting as if it had no bones, and dozens of snowballs flew quickly against his body, eventually melting in the air and exploding into a scattered cloud of snow.

"Hahaha, don't try to hit me. Pannis laughed, pointed at the girls and said proudly: "Every time I am bullied by you, this time I have the advantage, and you will ...... Ah~~~"

Just when he was triumphant, on the roof behind him, a pile of metal parts had quietly appeared, and these parts silently combined into a huge cannon muzzle, and a snowball with a diameter of two meters was accumulated in the cannon muzzle. As he pointed at the girls and laughed, the muzzle of the cannon fired, and the two-meter-diameter snowball smashed into Pannis's back from top to bottom, causing his laughter to instantly turn into a scream, and he was slapped into the snow on the ground.

"Oh oh oh, Freya, you're so vicious, haven't you always said that you won't give up your love for me. Pannis, grunting in pain, rubbed his waist out of the snow, and muttered, "Is this also love, you just want to kill me." ”

"Yes, I will never give up my love for Mr. Pannis. Freya walked in step by step, the smile on her face was very weird, and she said in a low voice: "But Mr. Pannis, you always refuse to accept it, so I think that if you are stoned to death, you must not be able to refuse my love anymore, hehe, hehe, it must be so." ”

"Hey, that's terrible. Pannis smiled dryly and took two steps back, suddenly his face changed greatly, and he said with a reluctant smile: "You guys, what are you doing around me, hahaha, don't get any closer, I still have to go up to clear the snow, hahahaha." ”

"You don't have to clear the snow, you can rest. Catherine smiled sweetly and said softly: "You work so hard every day, how can we bear to let you continue to sweep the snow, you say yes." ”

"Then you should put the broom down, I'll be scared to lift it so high. Pannis's face turned pale as he stared at Catherine's raised shovel, and swallowed hard to spit: "And why did you suddenly say that you don't need me to clear the snow, how do I feel that something is wrong." ”

"Hospice care, of course. Catherine kept a sweet smile, and the broom in her hand suddenly fell: "I let you sprinkle us with snow, I let you hide on it, I let you say that we can't beat you." ”

The five maidens gathered around Pannis, brooms and snowballs fluttering, and the laughter of the maidens was mixed with Pannis's mournful wail: " Hey, that's a shovel, Lina, put the shovel down, Catherine, don't infuse the broom with fighting energy, the material of the broom will break if it can't support it, Eva, don't you want me to comb your hair, what does it mean to freeze the snow into a sword, Freya don't think I don't know you're sneaking at me with a crystal gun, I already feel the energy fluctuation, hey, and you, Vivian, shouldn't you be throwing snowballs, what are you trying to do when you condense the ice ball, that smashing person hurts, ahhhh ”

Pannis's miserable cry spread far away, and Catherine laughed and picked up her broom, and said hatefully, "Let you provoke, let you provoke, kill you, kill you." ”

The six people were making a mess, the crisp bell suddenly rang, the sleigh stopped outside the fence of the small courtyard, the bearded mayor sat on the sleigh, stunned to see the murderous scene in front of him, the poor mayor felt that the image of the professional in his heart was rapidly collapsing, and he was so daze that he forgot what he wanted to say.

"Ahem. The girls coughed dryly, quickly sorted out their clothes, and returned to their original serious appearance, Catherine opened the wooden door of the small courtyard with a serious face: "Why is Mr. Mayor here, come in and sit." ”

"Uh, what are you ......" Mayor stammered and pointed to the scene of the tragedy, "What's going on?"

"Nothing, it's just a little cold and we're warming up. Catherine said seriously: "In cold weather, moderate exercise is good for physical and mental health, and you can try it next time, Mr. Mayor, it is very effective." ”

"yes, hahaha. The mayor smiled dryly and glanced at Pennis, who was almost buried in the snow, and wisely avoided this sensitive topic: "I'm here to bring you Baras candy, and it will be very comfortable to drink a bowl after work in winter." ”

"Thank you. Catherine took the drink from the mayor and asked, "What were you looking for last night, did you find it?" )
