Chapter 154: Snow (I)

PS: Thank you TrustFundKid for the tip and monthly pass, and thank glorybower and 031030311 for the monthly pass

As we enter December, Elybrock has its first snow since the beginning of winter.

Eeribulk, once at the hands of the Wayne, has been revived, and under Sylvia's banner, order in the area with Eeribrok at its core has stabilized.

Coupled with the fact that the newly formed Knights of the Holy Sword had defeated the Slarkna army intent on taking control of Elibrock once again, and inflicted heavy losses on them, it is said that only 60% of the enemy troops who had fled into the Hanweno Plains were at the time of their invasion.

This was undoubtedly a great victory, not only stabilizing Sylvia's power during the most vulnerable period of Elebrock's vulnerability, but also greatly boosting the morale and confidence of its own people, so that many princes who were in a wait-and-see state also made up their minds to join Princess Sylvia's command.

The external environment is stable, the internal situation has improved significantly, and the current Sylvia regime has gained a very solid foundation, and the people living in Eribrock can once again taste the hard-won peace of life.

The heavy snow caused a lot of trouble for the residents of Eeribrock, and it added extra workload, such as the most temporary municipal ordinance, which required each resident to clear the snow in front of his or her own door so as not to obstruct traffic.

But for children, the snow is a rare pleasure. They chase and frolic in the streets in groups, build snowmen, and have snowball fights, which brings a lot of life to the city.

Delta Hotel has also done a lot better because of the weather. Many guests sit around and drink hot spirits. Looking at the heavy snow outside, I sighed that next year's harvest should be good.

At the same time. In a room on the third floor of the hotel, Gehr moved his wheelchair to the window, opened the window, and looked at the white world outside in a daze.

It stands to reason that Gehr shouldn't live in an inn with his identity, in fact, he didn't want to live in a hotel at first, but when the house was allocated, Gehr was assigned to this ownerless house very close to Sylvia's mansion, but he didn't expect that when Elebrock stabilized. The owner of the hostel ran back again.

Gehr naturally can't forcibly occupy other people's property, but at this time, the houses in the area near Sylvia's mansion have been allocated, and it is not easy to find a better one, plus he will not live here for a long time, so he simply agreed with the innkeeper that when Gell stays in Elebrock, the third floor of the hotel will be used by Gell and his party, and the lower two floors will be handed over to the boss to continue to operate, and then return to the boss after Gell leaves.

Requirements for Gehr. The innkeeper readily agreed, much better than he had thought it would be, in his eyes, compared to the greedy aristocrats who could never be filled. Gehr is as lovely as an angel - and of course, the cutest thing for a typical merchant is the shiny gold coins.

Brothers Gehr, Lucarin, and Brian stayed at the Delta Inn, while Iona lived in Sylvia's mansion as Sylvia's personal bodyguard and the churchmen responsible for teaching the princess to study.

Gehr braced his hands on the windowsill. Propped up his still weak body, and waited for his trembling feet to stand firm. Extend your right hand out the window and spread your palm.

Delicate snowflakes fell on the palm of his hand. Cold, he held it up in front of him, observed it carefully, watched the snowflakes slowly melt in his palms, disappear, and then continued to repeat the previous movements, with great interest.

It can be said that this is the first time he has actually seen snow.

In the last world, the environment there was always gray, whether it was the sky or the earth, the only weather change was the sour rain, and it was less than a year after coming to this world, and the winter was just missed, only the original Gehr still had some images in his memory, but it was not as profound as his personal experience. So such a large and thick snow can be regarded as the first snow that Gehr has seen in his life.

"Gehr, why are you up? Open the window!" the door was pushed open, and Lucarine walked in with a plate of food, and shouted with a coquettish look at Gell as he was.

Quickly putting the food on the wooden table, the silver-haired girl quickly stepped up and helped Gehr back to his wheelchair, then closed the window, and then picked up a dry towel and carefully and attentively wiped Gehr's somewhat cold hands.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, there won't be any major problems, and I'll probably be able to recover after a while. ”

Gehr's reply with a smile was only exchanged for a roll of the girl's eyes.

"Your body hasn't gotten better yet, and the temperature has dropped sharply today, so you need to be more careful now, in case you get cold again, it will become troublesome. ”

After picking up the idol that day and going through an inexplicable mental torture, Gehr was in a coma. The knightly attendants, believing that Gehr had been attacked by some kind of covert attack by the Church of Slark, immediately escorted him back to Elibrock, where he was in a coma for three days before finally coming to his senses, to the relief of his companions.

However, after waking up, Gehr's physical condition was in condition, and he could only lie in bed for the first half of the month, and then he began to get up slowly, but he still looked very weak.

This situation made the higher-ups of Elebrock very nervous, thinking that those cultists had researched something strange, which caused the alert level to be raised to the highest level during this period. The shattered fragment of the idol was also studied by the Eric organization, hoping to find out what could cause such a powerful warrior as Gel to suffer such a strange injury that was so badly affected but not scarred on the surface.

Of course, this kind of research will not lead to anything. Gehr knew very well that this was the result of his mental damage and overdraft in his body, but he wouldn't say it, after all, it was his most precious secret, but he was in a coma after the explosion, and he didn't know what happened next.

In fact, Gehr sometimes thinks back to what happened at that time, and it feels very false, like a dream that is extremely real, but the reality of his physical condition and the crystal of his soul that can be seen when he closes his eyes and calms his mind are more brilliant than the most beautiful gems, all these tell him that everything he has experienced is real.

"Then you have to protect me. Gehr smiled and looked at the silver-haired girl in front of him from top to bottom, while reaching out to hold Lucarin's hand, his smile a little lazy, very different from his old image.

Lucarin's white cheeks were covered with a brilliant glow, and she gently struggled with the hand that was being held by Gehr, but it was obviously a far more symbolic gesture than an actual gesture, so her hand remained in Gehr's hand.

Ever since Gehr woke up from his coma, Lucarin had always felt that he seemed to have changed, very different from before, but she didn't feel annoyed by Gehr like this, and she was secretly happy.

"Shy?" said Gehr chuckled.

"No, I didn't. Lucarine broke free of Geer's hand and turned away. The girl's peculiar shyness made her especially concerned about her reserve, but in the blink of an eye, she turned back and looked at Gehr with a smile, her eyes curved into the arc of the moon, "Who is shy? Don't forget that I am older than you, little brother Griezmann." ”

Looking at the somewhat narrow Lucarin, Geer couldn't cry or laugh, but what she said was the truth, the actual age of her body was seventeen years old, and Lucarin, the former senior sister, was nineteen, an age when many women had children who could run around and spread wild.

Thinking of what Date said, in the days when she was in a coma, it was this girl who stayed by her bedside, taking care of herself every inch until she woke up, and she couldn't help but feel a wisp of tenderness in her heart, because the hand that had become rough from practicing the sword held the girl's white and flawless hand again.

"You...... Do you want to take a break...... Let's eat something first......" Lucarin lowered her head, her voice a little flustered, but it was difficult to hide the tenderness in it.

"No need. Gehr patted the back of Lucarin's hand gently, "Take me out for a walk, I love the weather." ”

"Now?" Lucline hesitated as she looked at the wooden windows that were cracked by the snowflake-soaked wind.

"It's fine. ”

After looking at Huiger, Lucarin finally nodded: "Then I'll go get you some clothes." ”

"Hmm. ”

Looking at the departing figure of the girl, Gehr closed his eyes and immersed himself in his heart.

The soul crystals floated in the space, as transparent as crystals, without the slightest filth and impurities, emitting a soft light outward, pulling the surrounding soul fragments that had become very sparse, and the last pieces were re-fused onto the soul crystals. At first, it was just a small piece, but as time went on, the fragments of the soul returned faster and faster, and Gehr knew that when all the soul fragments returned to their original places, it would be the time for him to fully recover.

The return of each piece of soul fragment is a re-examination of a certain memory in the past, whether it is from the previous life, from the original Gehr, or from these time experiences. What used to feel like a mess of glass, as blurry as frosted glass, is now visible with emotion from every memory and every growth, and it merges back together to form a complete Griezmann Wolfgang Kolbensen.

There has never been a moment when Gehr knows his heart better, every bit of knowledge he has learned, every ounce of strength he has acquired, and he will never be lost again.

Lucarin felt like he had changed, and it was true, and Gehr wouldn't deny it.

Now he understood what the path he had chosen, and that immense power was deeply reflected in his soul, and he might not be able to get there in his lifetime, but the direction he chose would never deviate.

Laugh for happiness, cry for sadness, love loved ones, kill hateful enemies, and welcome the scenery along the way without hindrance, until you climb one peak after another.

This is Gehr now.

The door was pushed open.

When I opened my eyes, the figure of the silver-haired girl appeared in front of me again.

Gehr faced her and smiled brightly. (To be continued......)
