Start A New Game

“... I'm sorry. ”

Ser Jinn, sitting on the entertainment couch in Sahan's house, said.

“There was a trend. I'm so angry that I can't see...”

She just stares at the cup filled with tea.

“What? I would have done the same thing. ”

“... but I don't know what the mission is...”

“I can't tell you. ”

Sahan replied decisively.

Serzin lets out a slight, distasteful sigh, but sighs as if he can't help it.

“Th-then... is it dangerous? ”

She hesitates and asks.

“No, it's not that dangerous.

“… Which province are we going to? ”

“ … ”

Zahan stares at her with an axe's eye, constantly seeking information.

To avoid that gaze, she lifts up a cup of tea with both hands and takes it to her mouth.

It's definitely a small cup of tea, but it covers half her face.

“It's not that far. And come back in 10 days. ”

So, don't worry- Sahan glanced at Serjin.

With the teacup on the table, she looks at the ground with a shivering expression.

“... Be careful. Don't get hurt.”

Although she spoke in a crawling voice, she smiled brightly instead of an answer.

Full moon shines bright at night.

A special unit of 13 climbed over the teleporter with a beautiful sled.

“You've got everything you need, right? ”

Saehan asked the Knights who plotted in a row.

“Yes, I have everything I need. ”

Ayehorn replied on their behalf.

“…… Then let's go, without delay. ”

Zahan sends a beep to the wizard who is waiting with a nervous expression from afar.

He starts counting down with a trembling voice.

“Poetry, here we go! 3! … 2! … 1! ”

After enduring the unfamiliar sense of teleport, Sadhan looked around the surrounding landscape.

Among the permanent residences where teleporting was installed, the ‘Timura’ castle closest to the Hanwha village was now covered with white snow despite the coming spring.

“... There's no reason to call it the Castle of Winter. ”

“Yes. It is said to have more snowfall than the castle ‘Dennier’ closest to the Arctic. ”

“I see. Now then...”

Sahan unfolds the map and pulls out a compass made by alchemy yesterday from his pocket.

Ayehon began to observe the presence of the compass with curious eyes.

“... We can go that way. ”

As Saehan points his finger at the direction and tries to walk toward it, Ayehorn walks to the stars.

“.. I have great respect and sincerity in the course of my mission... What is that item...”

I didn't feel as soft as I did for Ayehorn who said that. There was just an unbearable curiosity.

Sahan tilted his head and looked at the compass and Ayehorn, looking at it mysteriously.

‘Ah. Pangea, by the way, there was no compass in the game. ’

The nature of the Loggia continent, which is the "Pangea," where all the countries are attached to one lump of land, did not develop navigation or navigation, and of course there was no compass.

So Raman, the largest port city, has only been a beginner sailing along the coast.

“… Huh. This object teaches me the direction of the b-northeast, southwest, and northwest. I made it.”

Use the 'Available Alchemy List’.

“Oh...”

She opened her mouth in a daze, ignored the awe-inspiring wedding, and hurried forward.

“Let's go! ”

The knights followed him like that.

*

“.. where are you going? ”

So, she frowned and turned around, frowning at the voice of Ayehorn coming from behind her back.

Those without compasses dare to judge the commander...

“… Hmm? Mal? Mal...”

Sahan found out that the knights were pulling each horse out of the stable, and scratched his back neck for no reason.

“Pick one. Now that you have permission, you can choose anything. ”

“ … ”

She dodges her gaze, sweating coldly.

I have to tell you, I'm just ashamed to talk.

“Ah. ”

Aeyehorn soon realized what it meant and replaced his saddle with something big enough for two to ride on.

“Climb aboard. You're welcome. It's common for wizards who can't win. ”

Aeyehorn rides on his horse, and Zahan climbs up behind her back, leaving behind the look of a beehive and a feeling of shame.

“… Let's go. ”

Speak in a mosquito voice with minimal pride.

At his voice, Aeyehorn pulls his strings tightly, and an angry horse rises to the sky.

Surprised at him, the forgiveness gripped Ayehorn's waist without me even knowing it.

“Hold on tight. You may be a fine horse, but you have a bad temper. ”

“Uh... got it. ”

She gives strength to the hand that wraps around her waist.

* * * * *

“... So there was a giant dragon beyond that mountain? ”

“Yes, yes. It was so big, I was startled, and I ran away. ”

The group reaches the mountain range near Hanwha Village, where the steep ridge ripples. They listen to the ‘herbalist’ who saw the White Dragon.

“Yes, but I have one more question. ”

“Yes, ask. ”

The herbalist crouches.

Sadhan strangely felt that it was awkward.

“… Did anything strange happen when you saw the White Dragon? Suddenly there was hail or lightning or...”

In his words, the herbalist closed his eyes and tasted.

“…… Ah. Yes, it was. When I saw the giant dragon, I was terrified to come down the mountain... and there was that strange fog. But I'm touching the fog, and it's normal not to touch the fog, right? But...”

“But the fog touched you? ”

“Yes, yes. I just had a dream and I was flustered... but I was really freaked out because my hands were freezing when I touched them! So I was surprised and came straight home and put my hands on the stove..."

According to the herbalist, Forgiveness frowned.

A unique white dragon.

Perhaps the fog mentioned by the herbalist is "Frost Fog."

The fog created by the breath of a unique white dragon drops rapidly as it gets closer to the white dragon.

The wizard's weak body is a trait that is hard to reach on his footing.

Even if I get caught, I get caught by someone with a very tricky character.

“Whew…”

He sighs and looks back.

“I think the White Dragon we were looking for is right. However, there is still too much fatigue to fight today, so I will rest and start exploring the White Dragon early tomorrow morning. ”

I rode 14 hours on horseback from Timour Castle to the village of Hanwha.

After arriving, I went straight to the herbalist without rest.

It was all because of the overwhelming gaze of Ayehorn.

But now that the accumulated fatigue was not a knight, but a kind of sorcerer, he decided to take a break this time.

“Yes, sir! ”

The knights, with the exception of Ayehorn, began to respond vigorously and dissipate, whether they had the same idea as Sadhan.

However, Ayehorn looked quite unfaithful and looked at the mountain again, and only after looking at the dead sun with dry eyes did he move his feet.

“... Phew. ”

Zahan sighs.

He is from Serzin's Guardian Company and is enthusiastic enough to know the purpose of the mission among the knights involved.

“That's a little harsh.”

But he's so enthusiastic for Serzin, it's no big deal.

* * * * *

After arriving for a break, the knights arrived at the largest inn in a large village in Shimyeong-jun, renting out all the rooms of the inn.

In every room, there were only eight.

“ … ”

Sahan lies on the bed of the inn and looks out the window at the moon.

It is especially clear because there is no cloud.

As he stares at the moon dazed, he hears a knock at his door.

Knock-knock.

“Who is it?”

“... I'm Ayehorn. ”

Sahan kicked my tongue without me knowing.

I don't know what else you came here to do with yourself...

“... come in. It's not locked.”

But that doesn't mean I can't beat up my underlings.

With his permission, the door opens carefully and there are no loose marriages.

“You'd better put a stop to the door. ”

“... What's going on? ”

She looks around for a moment, closes the door, and approaches Saehan, who's sitting on the bed.

“I wanted to ask you something. ”

“Hmm?"

She straightaway knelt on the floor.

Zahan was momentarily embarrassed. No, it's not. It's the middle of the night.

“... what are you...”

“That would be a profane question, so it's a prerequisite. May I ask.”

He buries the battle in a determined manner.

Even if he refuses, he is willing to do something else.

“… Ask. ”

“ …… ”

Ayehorn gazes at him silently.

“You've changed a lot since the first time I saw you. Seems like a completely different person then and now. I'm sorry, but the disgusting and ugly feeling that I felt at that time disappeared. But it seems that the atmosphere has changed into something that has a strange, unacceptable sense of purpose. ”

Ajayhon began to talk about the change in the impression of forgiveness, and slowly went on after that.

“But I have my doubts. I was nine when you were a girl. I've come to escort you since I just graduated from school. For about 10 years, I spent protecting her, and she was in a lot of pain. Whenever he felt pain, he would hide and cry. He was afraid every night. She looks strong, but she's just hiding the weak side. ”

“ … ”

He remained silent and waited for the following words:

“We've done a lot of work to neutralize the 'curse’ you've been under. But the more she did, the more she only got hurt. This time, the expectation that it would be, was broken every time, and the weak girl's heart was only trampled. The more she did, the more her tears dried up. Disappointment takes away the tears of pain and sadness. I don't want you to be disappointed anymore. ”

Sahan realizes what she meant.

She looks at herself with an eye that wants to be convinced.

Can you really fix a girl - a truly loyal eye, asking for her sincerity and self rather than doubt?

“In addition, the Thanksgiving is a person that you can count on. So I'm even more worried. Perhaps this time...”

“No more worries. ”

With a relaxing smile, she cuts off her horse waist and taps her shoulder.

It means you don't have to worry at all, just trust yourself.

“After saving the heart of the White Dragon, just 100 days. In 100 days, we'll be able to make Serzin better. No, it'll be better. ”

I'm sure.

As long as you create an elixir and wait for the '100 days' to mature to complete it, the elixir will be complete.

Serzin will surely be better.

“ … ”

Ayehorn stops speaking and looks him straight in the eye.

I feel like I'm about to burst my hidden emotions.

The situation of the two people facing each other for a while woke up by Ayehorn smiling lightly and lowering his head.

“.. I understand. ”

“Then get up and go back. The hard work will be waiting for you tomorrow. ”

Aeyehorn, who raised his body, bowed his head in reverence and left his room.

“Chung.”

Esteban's manner of echoing lightly in his room is random.
