Lee Han wondered why he had to bring a bowl of water, but he listened quietly.
As Professor Thunderwalker’s instructions were, he must have something on his mind.
“A mage who has an aptitude for the element of water is more likely to be aptitude for the element of cold as well. But if you ask me if it’s easy to practice the element of cold on a regular basis, it’s not.”
While some elements were relatively easy to handle, there were also elements that were difficult to handle.
If elements such as fire, water, and earth are typically easy to handle (although there were wizards who had difficulty with flame), elements such as lightning, darkness, and cold are difficult to handle.
“Lightning is controllable, darkness is embodied, and cold is difficult to maintain.”
Professor Thunder Walk created snowflakes in the air with his words.
Snowflakes in the warm hut turned into water droplets in an instant.
“Unlike water and earth, the element of cold tends to lose its power and disperse if the wizard does not focus on it. You have to stay focused and infuse energy.”
“indeed. Just as it is difficult to summon dozens of water marbles and float them in the air, so is the element of Frost…”
“…No, not that much.”
Professor Thunderwalk was taken aback as he spoke.
Frost element was an element with difficulty, but it was not to that extent.
“But in this kind of environment, the cold element is much easier to maintain. Don’t you think it’s the best environment for new wizards to train and learn their senses?”
“You are saying it makes a lot of sense.”
Ian nodded and paused.
‘Ah. For a moment, I thought I might be really lucky.’
It was a moment, but it was an experience that made me a little scared.
Absolutely no luck!
“And, as I said earlier, because of the closeness of the spirit world, cold spirits must have been summoned here and there… There will be opportunities to receive teachings and blessings while in contact with the spirits.”
“The last time I went to the spirit world, the spirits were avoiding me, is there any possibility that such an environment will eliminate the spirits’ fear and increase their affinity?”
“It is unlikely.”
“……”
Lee Han was a little sullen.
Is it still not okay?
“Thanks for the advice. professor.”
“okay. take care of yourself It probably won’t last very long.”
“day?”
“Longer than a day.”
“Two days?”
“I just said it. Just think that you never know when it will end.”
At the insistent words of the disciple, the professor shook his head and pulled out a box and held it out.
The round glass jars were filled with glistening brown liquid.
“This is a gift. It will help with the cold.”
“Is it a potion?”
“no. It’s brandy.”
“…Thanks anyway.”
Lee Han picked up the chest and left his hut.
Then he tilted his head.
‘for a moment. So why did you create water?’
* * * *
Whoi yi ing-
“Fire!”
“no. I ran out of oil!”
“Push it with force before it hardens!”
“I will hit the wall with dirt!”
The Black Turtle Tower students struggled to clear the snow in front of the tower.
The Blue Dragon Tower was pierced with flames by a madman who did not lose magical power, but the other towers could not use that method.
Instead, the Black Turtle Tower students showed their wits and cleared their eyes little by little.
All sorts of methods were used.
“Ymirg, push with your strength! I will build a wall!”
“for a moment. Someone is coming!”
“Are you a professor?”
“No way…”
The Black Turtle Tower students were also feeling it.
The professor won’t come and help!
Of course, it was Lee Han who came.
“It’s Wodanaj!? Through this blizzard…”
“Wordanaz! How did you get here!”
The Black Turtle Tower students shouted loudly.
Because of the strong blizzard, I couldn’t hear it unless I screamed with strength.
Whoa hey hey!
“I’m here to…”
“What?”
“I’m here to…”
“Are you here to help?”
“no! I’m here to barter!”
thud!
Lee Han put down the chest.
The chest was full of thick cloth.
He bought it like a madman, so there was plenty left even after making various cold protection products.
“Where did you get it?!”
“There is a way. ruler. So… would you like to exchange it?”
“I’m going to freeze to death talking here. come here! Come over here and talk!”
There were several temporary snow houses on the site where there was a black market in front of the original tower.
It was a temporary shelter built by Black Turtle Tower students to clear the snow outside.
The students looked at the cloth Lee Han brought and looked surprised.
‘No, really, where did you get this?’
‘How can that bastard of Wodanaj be more resourceful than a member of the Thieves’ Guild?’
“Kyo.. I want to exchange it. Wodanaz.”
“okay. That’s what I came here too.”
Lee Han looked at his friends with slightly anticipatory eyes.
“How much food do you have left?”
“……”
“……”
The Black Turtle Tower students hesitated and looked at each other. Then someone opened his mouth.
“none.”
“What nonsense? I know that you are also collecting steadily.”
In fact, the Blue Dragon Tower is where Lee Han brought in supplies and lived without being hungry.
On the other hand, the Black Turtle Tower students were able to bring their own food even though many of them threw them into the mountains.
Purchased by Blue Dragon Tower.
If white tiger tower is hunting…
The Black Turtle Tower is using all sorts of methods such as gathering, farming, trading, and hunting!
Even if there are no luxury items or luxury items such as the Blue Dragon Tower, it would be more than just the incoming food.
“The warehouse was blown away by a blizzard…”
“……”
Unlike Lee Han, who could store most of the small-sized preserves, seasonings, and spices in the common room, the Black Turtle Tower students used the outside storage a lot.
Various operations such as smoking and pickling were carried out, but it was impossible to do it in the break room.
Of course, such warehouses had the weakness of being vulnerable to such a situation.
“You should have been prepared for such a situation.”
‘How to prepare for that…’
“Anyway, I know.”
Lee Han picked up the chest again and got up from his seat.
It was in vain that he had come this far, but he had no choice but to do it.
“for a moment! for a moment! Wodanaj!”
“Don’t go!”
The Black Turtle Top students held onto Lee Han’s collar and stretched.

Now, cold weather supplies were needed more than anyone else.
“Why are you doing this shit?”
Lee Han spoke colder than the blizzard outside.
“Other… is there any trauma? When I go out later, I use silver coins…”
“hey. Don’t say nonsense. would that work? No matter how much money your family has, your opponent is the Wodanaj family. I feel sorry for such an offer, so I accepted it.”
Another friend was bruised by the words of the black tortoise top, who was next to Salko, whom I met last time.
Ian paused.
“Which family are you from?”
“It’s from the Richmond family…”
Shiles, from the Richmond family, opened his mouth with a very embarrassed expression.
Although it was a family that built wealth, one of the most prosperous in the empire in the carriage business, the dignity of the family was determined not by the gold of the family, but by the history that the family had built up.
From that point of view, the Wordanaj family, one of the most noble families in the Empire and a master of magic, had a reputation that Shiles did not dare to compare.
‘No, this child.’
Ian was not funny.
If you have a lot of money in the house, you will write it on your forehead.
“You come from a very good family.”
“Are you kidding me, Wodanaj?”
“Does my face look like a joke?”
Lee Han’s cold, statue-like face had the effect of putting pressure on the opponent even when he was still.
Shiles was a little confused.
“I’m not going to give it away. I’ll pay it back later when I’m on vacation.”
“What? Really? Are you okay though?”
“of course. You can trust the Richmond family.”
“Wordanaz…”
Shiles looked at Lee Han with a moved expression.
There was no way Lee Han, who was from the Wodanaj family, coveting silver coins, and it was clear that he cared about Shiles’ feelings.
Show this in front of other friendsIt’s warm respect.
Is this the quality that only the great aristocrats have?
“Thank you so much…”
“Sign it.”
“Ah, yes.”
Lee Han passed the box.
He could not find food for him, but selling it at such a high price made his heart warm.
“Did you come to Wodanaj?”
Outside her snow house, Nelia poked her head out.
“Help me convince you!”
“Nelia… that’s unreasonable. Dangerous.”
“Oh, it’s really not that dangerous!”
“?”

Nelia came in, beating her chest as if frustrated.
She wore skins of various animals to protect her from the cold, and under her shoes she wore snowshoes made from vines and twigs.
“What persuasion are you talking about?”
“I’m going to go hunting now, but everyone is stopping me.”
“Nelia… Anyway, going hunting in this weather…”
“Good idea. let’s go.”
“right? Look! Wodanaj agrees!”
“……”
The friends looked at Lee Han in amazement.
What are you doing to dry?
* * * *
“Food does not fall from the sky just by being still.”
“That’s what I mean. Wodanaz. After all, non-hunters know that meat falls from the sky! But Wodanaz. Can you put the fire aside?”
“ah. sorry.”

Nelia felt the heat and spread the distance. The firepower of the flames Lee Han launched around him was too strong.
Lee Han admired the sight of Nelia moving lightly on her thick snow.
She wasn’t from ＜Shadow Patrol> for nothing.
“Isn’t a blizzard like this from the Shadow Patrol?”
“no. It’s okay. It’s rare for something like this to happen.”
“indeed. Still, it’s great that you’ve made it through the road like this. It’s a bad situation with no other Shadow Rangers.”
Ian was amazed.

Nelia was acting as a proper guide as she was a skilled hunter and ranger.
The mountain, where the heavy snow fell, became a completely different space than usual, and if you put your mind to it a little, it changes without knowing where it is.
But she knew that Neila did not hesitate and she found a way and made it.
What a great skill…
“no. It’s a lot more comfortable.”

Nelia looked at Lee Han as if she was talking nonsense.
I was walking with a flame floating around me, clearing my sight, and warming myself up, but what a poor situation.
If other hunters had heard of it, they would have come up with the phrase, “Wow, hunting is easy.”
“By the way, I thought you would stop Wodanaz.”
“ah. Of course I wanted to go after the snow had subsided, but I had no choice.”
“?”
“You have to take a class from tomorrow, don’t you? We should collect it over the weekend.”
“……”

Nelia flinched.
In fact, she must have passed all the midterm exams, the heavy snow is coming. She used that as an excuse to think that it would be okay to take a break from lectures or two.
“Lecture… If it’s an emergency like this, isn’t it okay to skip at least once?”
“What nonsense are you joking, Nelia?”
“……”

Nelia turned her head and pouted her lips to hide her.
That’s why senior!
For a moment, her long ears pierced.
“There is something. It looks like a spirit or a monster…”
“Can you tell them apart?”
“It’s not easy.”
Her field of vision was shortened due to her blizzard, and it was not easy to distinguish between a spirit and a monster in a situation where the magic of nature ran wild.
Pot!
“uh? Why are you running away?!”
“…a spirit.”
