Chapter 12: Monster Hunting Squad (1)
In this way, on a night when the lights were flickering, the Monster Hunting Squad, led by the S-class mercenary Xana Sylvia, the vice-captain Amon, the team member Sido, and the elf's family Alvin, such a small group was formed, and the agreement handwritten by Xana was signed that night, and the boy and the elf who did not know the truth came from the warm and comfortable town to the deserted frozen tundra.

Day 2.
The blizzard, which had been raging for two months, gradually subsided last night, and according to the weather in the Far North, there is still a month to two months before the next blizzard, during which everyone will maintain their normal schedule, and the hunters will go out to hunt
to get enough meat and fur to prepare for the next blizzard.
The weather cleared, the sun rose early in the east, and the dark clouds that covered the sky also dispersed, and the blue sky made people feel much more relaxed.
Amon spent his last savings, as well as Sido's salary for the month, to buy four sturdy mastiffs, and the shopkeeper kindly gave him a set of sleds, which had fallen so long that the snow was up to his knees, and the wagons could not travel on such snow, so the sled dogs became an important means of transportation.
Amon wore a thick cotton coat and a leather jacket for Sido and Arwin, while Xana put a gray wolfskin coat over the shoulders of the buckskin, riding boots on her feet, and prepared enough dry food, and the group ran directly to the large snowfields in the north.
Although the sun was already high, the wind brought up by the sleigh was still particularly biting, the elf's physique was naturally cold, Alvin's face was very pale, and Xana kindly untied the woolen scarf wrapped around his neck, and gave the elf a firm wrap around the exposed neck, and even half of his little face was buried in the scarf.
Arwin smiled good-naturedly and was stroked by the latter.
The two people who have been in the north all the year round will naturally not be afraid of this cold, Sido clenched his fists with some excitement, for the boy, this is the first time to go to the frozen tundra, the first time to hunt magical beasts, and the first time to ...... If you think about it, you haven't done anything.
Sido said: "Woman, Amon said that you are a very powerful mercenary, is it because you can use both swordsmanship and magic?"
Xana slapped Sido's head hard: "People who are older than you should use honorifics." β
"Oh, is it okay for me to call you Auntie?"
"No, you can't. β
"That'...... Sister Xana," Sido said, "Sister Xana, if you smile as often as Alvin, you will definitely not be single, the men of Magmatt will pursue you like mad dogs, they will spend a lot of money on women like you, and we don't have to travel so far to hunt monsters, so that we can generate income and ......" Sido's voice gradually became quieter, because someone was holding a dagger in his hand and staring at him coldly.
Alwyn covered his mouth and snickered.
Xia Na kicked Amon in dissatisfaction and said coldly, "This is the child you taught?"
The man driving the sled in front of him groaned and said, "This mercenary lady, you completely misunderstood, I haven't taught this, this kid has read too many books since he was a child, and you also know that there are many books that are not suitable for children...... Speaking of this, Amon paused, felt that he couldn't continue the topic, and said: "Xana, you have the power of a fifth-order magician, can you bless our sleigh with a few wind shelter magics?"
"I don't know how to bless protective magic. He coldly refused.
"Protective magic is a subject that must be passed in the magic assessment, if you don't know how to protect magic, how did you get to a position like a fifth-order magician?"
Xana was silent for a moment.
"Because my frost-based magic has reached the sixth order, the Magic Guild thinks that I am not enough to be rated as a great mage, so I only rated a fifth-order mage. β
"Yes, it's worthy of an immortal bird. β
"Praise it. β
Perhaps it was because of something that could not be talked about anymore, and the two fell silent one after another, and Sido poked Amon curiously.
"Amon, is the Great Magician very powerful?"
"Well, it's already an outstanding existence among magicians, the largest magic guild in the Dick Kingdom, the 'Silver Dragon', has only six great magicians, such as the Magister, and only the guild's president and vice president have reached ...... Including all the magic guilds in the empire, there are less than 100 people who can reach the great mage, and it is rumored that there is such an existence as the great mage in the empire, but after all, it is just a rumor, and there has been no real great mage in the kingdom so far. β
"If you cultivate to the Great Magister, can you be rated as an S-level mercenary?"
Amon was amused by the young man's naΓ―ve thoughts, and said, "Do you know what you're talking about, with your qualifications, it's impossible to reach a magus in this life, let alone a great mage. β
"I'm just asking, is it great to have talent, at least I'm ...... in swordsmanship"
"The one sitting next to you has a frost fighting aura that surpasses that of a high-level swordsman, Sido, haven't I said many times, whether it's magic or swordsmanship, you don't have any talent. β
"But ......"
The young man lowered his head unwillingly, sighed, and reluctantly accepted the cruel reality.
Xia Na silently sharpened the blade with cowhide on the side, Frost Fury, this high-level dagger blessed with fifth-order magic, ordinary people have long been red when they see it, as a weapon equipped with her, Xia Na also cherishes the dagger very much.
Alwyn shrunk his head, his brilliant pupils not knowing where to look.
Time passed quickly, and the sun was hanging high in the west, Amon stopped his sleigh, set up his tent, and made a bonfire out of the dead branches he had gathered, on which he roasted the dry food he had brought, because the weather was so cold, that the dry food was covered with ice ballast, and he could not bite at all. Xana seemed to have a bad appetite, and after eating two mouthfuls of dry food, she went to sleep in the tent, and Alwyn roasted the fire and stayed with Sido until late, and also slept sleepily.
As a result, Sido and Amon took turns keeping vigil.
After three days like this, the temperature continued to drop due to the proximity to the north. On the afternoon of the fourth day, after passing through a dead forest, the Monster Hunting Team finally arrived at the frozen tundra.
According to legend, at the end of the frozen tundra, there are active volcanoes that have been dormant for many years, and the geothermal heat is very rich, but the rest of the place is covered with frozen soil and moss, because it is too cold, ordinary creatures cannot survive on this land.
Xana said, "I'm going to walk next." β
Amon nodded, let the sled dogs go one by one, and the animals could find their way back, and took out two more swords from their luggage, one and threw it to Sido.
"Alwyn is up to you, swordsman. β
"Well, don't worry. β
Sido held a sword made of fine iron, the blade of which was cut through the edge, and had a slender blood groove that could easily pierce into the prey.
He gestured with his hand a few times, and because he often practiced swords, he felt that he was quite handy...... Shana, who came from behind, patted Sido on the head and said a few words.
"Be careful, you're going to step into the territory of the Monsters. β
