As we get older, our Luoan girl gradually begins to hide some things as her own secrets.

Even to Henry, he won't tell it all.

Although it is a little lonely to say it, it is a sign that a teenager is beginning to transform into a young man by keeping his own secrets, and not seeking advice from his elders on everything and starting to think independently.

The age of 14 is the time when self-consciousness begins to sprout, and everything that has been seen and heard before finally begins to be digested and transformed into one's own things, and an independent personality is established.

It was as if it had happened overnight, and the child, who had been looking to his elders for advice on everything, suddenly decided to do a lot of things on his own.

It is like a young eagle with full wings, wanting to show off its skills and fly away from the nest to a wider world.

In the past, the elders around them were their whole world, but now they are looking at a more distant place. In order to be able to go it alone in the days to come, they must get rid of the mentality of relying on their elders for everything.

Young people who are too eager often show all this as a complete rejection of their parents' rebellion.

In order to break free from the obedience of the past, they have opted for the overly radical approach that often occurs among young people—confrontation and total denial. But he neglects the inseparable things in himself that he has received from his parents.

In more than ten years, young people who have calmed down and started to have more things will begin to cherish those things that have been passed down from generation to generation.

The idiom of the prodigal son turning back paints a picture of what it is.

Luckily, the relationship between our Mr. Sage and the Roan Maiden has never been so tense.

The process of the transformation of the mentality of the white-haired girl, who was already precocious enough at the time of the meeting, was not abrupt, and the sage never put any shackles on her, so that the conflict between thought and personality was not violent.

The age of 14 is supposed to be the most troublesome time - just look at the young master Yajiro - but the famous teacher makes a high apprentice, and our Luoan girl did not disappoint at all.

She doesn't need to express her independent personality by going against the sages everywhere, because even now, after 3 years of walking together and countless years, she still thinks that there are countless things she can learn from her teacher, and she still does.

Hopefully, these days can continue.

The sudden cold wave and the strange and changeable weather made Mira a little vigilant.

Bursts of magic affect the climate, something she had known in the past, and they had undoubtedly encountered something related to magic some time ago.

Who did what?

The dark and tragic events that once took place in the Padrosi Empire are going to be repeated here?

No, some things are different.

Although most of the abnormal spring snow in the past few days is indeed related to magic, it seems that the entire Moon Country gives people the same feeling, and even the abnormal weather phenomenon caused by this magic disorder is also-

She didn't know why she had such a conflicting impression, but—

Even the abnormal weather caused by the magic disorder gives people a feeling of still being suppressed and enduring it.

Like a country bound by strict discipline, rules, and classes, the snow and rain have always been hurried these days, and there is no trace of the appearance of the southern part of the empire as if the end was approaching when the witch came to earth.

There are still doubts, there are still many things that are not clear, and they need to be investigated. Mira thought about it and didn't voice her doubts, not even to Henry.

He was probably able to answer Mira's doubts, although he didn't take the initiative to explain, but if she wanted to know, Henry would also explain everything that had happened before.

But that wasn't his intention, and it wasn't hers.

After a long 3-year journey together, Mira already understands her teacher's temperament very well.

Henry didn't like to give direct answers, not because he didn't like to talk or wanted to hide himself, although he did not like to talk very much at times.

Getting a direct answer is convenient and efficient, but if the situation is not so urgent and everyone knows how to deal with it, then choosing to give the answer directly will deprive others of the ability to learn, explore, and excavate.

Take reading and learning as an example: if you can't read, you can't remember what is in the book, but it's wrong. But it's not enough to be able to read and endorse. No matter how much knowledge you have in your mind and you can cope with various situations one by one, there will still be a day when you will encounter something that you can't deal with in your existing knowledge.

It's like Yajiro's samurai class in the Tsuki Country, which has been closed off for thousands of years and honed by their own people against their own people.

In familiar territory, within the comfort zone where they can deal with it, they can play back and forth very pleasantly, but when they get out of this familiar circle, the weapon changes, the technique changes, and the opponent does not play according to the routine, they will become flustered.

If there is enough time, Henry will not give all the answers to the questions, but to develop her ability to explore and solve problems.

No matter how abundant the books are, no matter how abundant the amount of knowledge, there will still be unexpected situations. The vicissitudes of the world can make a big difference when you come back after a year away from a certain place, so nothing can always be dealt with with by existing knowledge.

Therefore, the concentration cultivated when thinking and trying to solve problems is cultivated.

Perseverance and inner resilience that can regain motivation after encountering setbacks and suffering pain.

When encountering a field that you are not familiar with, you will not be confused, but you will be able to think calmly.

Given the answer directly, she would not have been able to go through these processes. If Henry had been crammed with the knowledge she had now, Mira would have learned far more in the past three years than she does now, even enough to match Aya, the Lungar Dr. who was six or seven years older than her—but that would make it impossible for her to acquire a character that could be truly preserved forever through these processes.

Don't jump to conclusions, think and observe in detail. She was still a little less ready because of her age, but after Henry's repeated stress, she had noticed her shortcomings in this area.

The things, the practices, and the qualities she learns in the process of solving problems will be treasures that she can use for the rest of her life.

So don't be anxious, if Henry doesn't want to explain something for the time being, it's because there is no need to do so.

With the accumulation of long years, the sage's views on things are based on a different time scale from others.

But even if she knew this, she would still get anxious sometimes.

It's not enough to always look at that back.

She wanted to stand side by side with him.

The man had too much on his shoulders, even a little, and she wanted to be his favor.

The snow was falling slowly, and the time of the night passed in each other's thoughts.

When I woke up in the morning, the sky was not bright, and the gray-blue sky was not visible to the clouds. Last night's snow was heavier than expected, and there was a lot of accumulation on the top of the tent and on the ground around it, so the people of Ashigaru who had woken up earlier cleared the snow to the side to make it easier to prepare for breakfast before departure.

The long marshland area was still ahead, and the group's tent was set up on the hillside to the north.

The marsh is presented as a basin in the middle of a high mountain, and after descending from this side of the mountain, you have to walk for nearly a day's time to get to the other side.

First descend the mountain, then walk through the long, wet mud and then go back up again.

With a load of ten pack oxen, it was quite difficult for a group to cross the wetland. However, it is sparsely populated and has abundant resources, and the consumption along the way can be replenished a little in the past few days. They are not in a hurry at the right time, and if they are lucky, it is also a good idea to stop by the lake to catch some fish and taste the fresh ingredients.

The Yi tribe also passed through here when migrating in the mountains, whether it was Temulun and others or Lulu had come here.

However, in order to avoid the main settlements of the Wa people, they usually traveled westward from the mountains further east, so this road is not very familiar to the Yi people.

The wetlands, which had snowed overnight, were very different from before.

The flowers and weeds that were already in full bloom in spring, a patch of green with some yellow-brown and colorful flowers, have now been replaced by a snow-white patch, and only a few lakes and ponds that have not been frozen reflect the gray-blue sky.

The snow is beautiful, but the thought of trekking through it makes most people look bitter.

It had been snowing a lot last night to knees deep, and Narumi had stepped on the ground a few times after the ashigaru had cleared the snow, but his attempt at luck failed, and the footprints of the straw sandals on the ground were clearly visible, and even some water was oozing slightly.

The samurai leader was obviously counting on whether the cold weather would be able to freeze the soft mud in the wetlands, or at least if the ground turned to hard frozen ground, and it would not be easy to pull the pack oxen up and become difficult.

But apparently a sudden spring snowfall is not enough to turn the entire wetland's soil into permafrost.

"Gee, isn't that more troublesome than traveling in winter? Old Joe, who was straightforward, spoke to the hearts of many people, accumulating knee-deep snow, but even if he trekked through it, at least the winter stepped through the solid ground under the snow, and this side was full of soft mud.

To add insult to injury, they didn't prepare snowshoes and sleds because it was already spring.

Although the Yiren quickly weaved large square snowshoes from twigs and animal skins so that the team could keep up with the horses on foot, there was no way to cut the sleigh that took longer to cut.

After all, they are traveling, and even hunters who are good at living in the mountains and wilderness will not carry a whole set of carpenter's clothes with them.

I can only come here, what's the use.

After adding some cold protection to the horses' hooves to prevent their limbs from freezing their limbs after walking in the snow for a long time, the group finished breakfast and began to embark on a long journey through the wetlands.

And when they descended to the bottom, the sun began to appear in the gray-blue sky, and the golden light sprinkled the entire wetland, causing the snow to reflect the dazzling light.

"Keep up close, don't keep your eyes open too far, and be careful if you get snow blindness. The samurai leader in front of him blocked out the reflection by the brim of his helmet and the gap between his visor, and he looked back to remind him, only to see that many of them had brought out improvised equipment to protect against this environment.

Strangely ridiculous glasses, scarves and hoods or hats to protect against the cold, the group of people who could hardly see their faces began to trude through the snow in a row.
