“You met Frisvia?!”
After hearing us explain everything, Cassena’s face turned as white as a sheet of paper, and then she became teary-eyed and rolled in the snow. no kid?
“Nonsense! I wanted to meet you too! Why are you only meeting Rain again! I could have gone too!”
“I knew it would be dangerous. And he seemed like a very dangerous person.”
“It’s not dangerous! Although he has an eccentric personality, he is actually very kind, and he left behind many great achievements?!”
According to Cassena, an adventurer and adventurer maniac, it was.
While most adventurers are active in Trident Point, south of Harbadonia, Frisvia is said to be the owner of the overwhelming force active in mainland Harvadonia.
In addition, it is said that the technology was advanced several times by excavating relics of the age of the gods, leaving various biological and geological research achievements here.
“In addition, the place where Frisvia is making its base is the Battleship Base!”
“Yes, they said to come over there if you’re having trouble.”
“really? It was a military ship that ＜Things That Came＞ brought to the subjugation in Harvadonia, but it was wrecked on floating ice. But ＜Things That Came＞ turned that ship into a forward base! That’s the military base!”
The lady’s mood seemed to have eased a little after he eagerly agreed to preach the knowledge about the adventurer named Frisvia.
I didn’t know much about Frisvia, but I knew about the barracks base. An adventurer whose base is a super-large artifact from ＜Things That Came＞.
On top of that, to be able to work casually in this Harvadonia and defeat the old ones.
– Although he has an eccentric personality, he is actually very kind and has left behind many great achievements?!
Is it as Cassena said?
Looking back, he had a bizarre personality, but he kindly explained everything… … .
You can think about this later. Now there was a problem that was hurting my head even more.
“Arakish, is it true what Frisvia said? The Baekrangdae was wiped out… … .”
Arakish, who was glaring with pensive eyes at the giant peaks blasphemously piercing the sky from the end of the world in the north, touched his chin.
「Though twisted here and there, she is not one who tells lies.」
“then… … !”
“But it’s hard to see it as accurate. Because it was a rumor.”
Arakish put his hand on his head, telling him not to worry too much, but now he really has to hurry.
There were too many variables. If the patrols of the white wolves were really destroyed, if the power to control the old things really awakened… … .
Despite the biting cold and sleepless anxiety, Arakish came out every night in the form of a dragon and embraced Cassena warmly like a mother.
‘If it wasn’t for Alakish, I would have collapsed a long time ago from the exhaustion of the extreme cold and insomnia… … .’
How should I express my gratitude? That’s how we were able to go down south in a hurry for ten days.
It wasn’t that they were in a hurry because they were in a hurry because of the elderly or small children, but the chief Bethuel speeded up more than before.
Even the warriors were able to get a good night’s sleep because Arakish stayed up all night.
“Arrived.”
So, when Arakish finally stopped at the edge of the plateau where the flat land ended and the steep descent began, Cassena opened her mouth brightly.
“Wow… … !”
The scenery of Mother Nature where the frozen river gradually melts and merges into the vast sea, the North Sea.
If you take a boat and follow that sea route, you will be able to return to the territory of the Holy Human Empire.
And next to that silvery glistening bay, the ancient city built solidly with stone, wood, and soil revealed its heavy majesty.
“That is Lavenfell (Winter Harbor).”

Two and a half months after the appearance of the sunspot, ＜Delaiten＞ cadets had to undergo an in-depth investigation by magicians from the special department.
The investigation focused on those who had a big or small relationship with the student council president, Valencidis, but the investigation was going through difficulties as most of the students supported Valencidis.
There’s no way our president would do that, he misunderstood something… … Like this.
“Wow, it’s vacation, but the 2nd and 3rd year students are really called out when they do something.”
Ilyin of the Tchaikhak school muttered while sticking out her tongue.
＜Deleiten＞’s physical training room, just now, while two second-year students were training, they were called out by the magicians of the special affairs department.
Even during vacation, all the cadets were forbidden to go out of the city, so they couldn’t even dream of going back to their hometown.
“Still, it’s all cool inside, isn’t it?”
Lifting weights, Ilyin looked up at Logan, who was assisting him.
“Genius Confucius has disappeared.”
“what?”
“Now that you don’t have to act, you don’t have to listen to the bullsh*t about Tsai Haq becoming Ludwig’s follower from the 16th graders.”
The genius Confucius disappeared… … .
yes it is gone
The appearance of the sunspot, the incident at the Imperial Office, and Lane Ludwig, who went there that day, disappeared. Even now, two months later.
“uh… … That’s right.”
After a while, Logan nodded blankly and left the gym like a distraught man.
“Hey, hey! Logan! Oh sh*t, it’s heavy! Hey, don’t help me, where are you going! hey!”
The next day, by chance, all the later members of the Eight Great Schools got together at the school cafeteria.
We thought we had become quite close to each other, but for some reason, something felt awkward. Everyone knew the reason, but they didn’t say it out of their mouth.
The existence that could be called the focal point, Rain Ludwig, had disappeared.
“Hmm, it’s not fun~ It’s fun because every day is new with a genius Confucius★”
When Nora sighed, sticking a fork in her mouth, Caden pulled out her notebook and agreed.
[agreed;;]
Hubert, who had become as sharp as before, reprimanded Nora.
“If it’s not fun, go somewhere else and eat it. Why are you whining in the seat next to me?”
Lillian, who had just eaten without speaking, expressed her doubts in a rather calm voice.
“But what really happened? Are you dead like rumors?”
“I’m not dead.”
It was Logan who answered that. I didn’t mean it, but a loud sound came out without me knowing. Everyone looked at Logan in amazement.
“No, so… … sorry.”
Logan got up from his seat without eating half of his plate, which he usually cleared of two or three bowls. The late exponents exchanged embarrassing conversations.
“This is the first time he’s yelled at me in front of me.”
“Well, no matter what anyone says, we were the closest among us♣”
[It just looks very difficult.]
“To be stupid. What if it’s not Ji? There are only rumors that he died.”
Hubert forcibly ended the conversation, nervously stuffing the garlic salad into his mouth.
On the other hand, as if he had lost something, Logan trudged along the sunset campus and the next moment he bumped into something hard.
I staggered back and looked up to see Professor Owen looking down with a pitiful expression.
“What the hell is this! Logan, since you monkey-like bastards are walking around the school with all the sh*t in the world on their faces, the whole school smells like sh*t!”
“Metabolism… … No, Professor. sorry.”
“He’s such a pathetic guy.”
He banged his head as if to come to his senses, but the emotion felt in the intonation of his voice and the strength of his fists was more compassion than rebuke.
“Professor, I, that… … Would it be all right if I ask what happened to Lane Ludwig?”
Owen looked back at Logan with a bitter look, then looked up at the summer twilight with a big sigh.
“President Madelia is bedridden and Professor Elin is also a professor, and he went back to the mansion with the energy to exchange everything… … I’m guessing he’s dead.”
“Now, did you not hear me?”
“The ghosts of the special affairs department, whose specialty is finding people, haven’t been able to find even a single strand of hair for two months, so how can they be alive?”
“That’s it… … Are you saying you’re dead now? Lane Ludwig?”
“Damn it! Answer me, Logan! How can a kid like Ludwig survive in such a f*cking situation where the Yellow Dragon Corps is half destroyed and the Royal Guard of the Emperor’s Office are wiped out!”
Logan, who had been looking up at Owen with a bewildered expression, finally dropped his head, and Owen spoke scoldingly.
“Is there a reason why the lump of sh*t that lived on its pride had to come back alive? Answer me, Logan!”
“That’s it, we just agreed to play magic volleyball together, but it seems like just yesterday that we promised to do it again… … .”
A single tear ran down Logan’s cheek as he lowered his head in despair, leaving a single stain on the ground.
“Since you said he died suddenly… … .”
And as those stocky shoulders swayed loudly and pitifully, Owen laid his hand on the priest’s back with a sigh like a sigh.
“Ha, such a pathetic fellow!”
Owen’s gesture of patting Logan’s back at that time was so kind that it was hard to believe that it was him.
“You’ve become such a f*cking pathetic guy in these half a year. Now it’s a bit like our Chaihak’s later index.”

I thought I was prepared to a certain extent, but Ravenfellow’s entry caused a big problem far beyond my expectations.
First of all, it wasn’t a problem in the first place.
At first, we all admired the size of Ravenfell and the number of tents spread out beyond its walls.
“This is the first time that so many tribes have gathered in one place… … .”
Barlzen, who had blankly glanced at the scene unfolding to the left and right of the city’s driveway as if unfamiliar, opened his mouth.
“It is a truly staggering number. The smell of the same kind vibrates so strongly.”
From noble mtl dot com
“So are you happy?”
“Heh, warriors aren’t happy about things like this. It’s just amazing. Anyway, judging from the situation, it seems that it is not too late.”
“is that so?”
“uh. Look at the half-folded top of the tent. It’s ready to leave anytime. He probably intended to go to the Wall in two or three days.”
A breath of relief came out. Even if it was a little late, it would have been a big deal.
Outside of the city, there were non-combatants, and most of the beasts caught in the gaze were similar in appearance to humans, with a slight wildness.
Cassena’s eyes twinkled at the sounds of laughter and tribal traditional songs that echoed throughout the tent.
“We will unpack here. Varzen, you can bring those children to meet Gryfion and come.”
For the tribesmen exhausted from the long forced march, Chief Bethuel spread a tent in the northeastern part of the city.
Judging from the fact that the tents were out here, it was probably a reasonable decision since the inside of the city was already saturated.
It was a total of four people, including me, who moved to Ravenfell, Arakish, Barlzen, and Cassena.
“Arakish!”
“It’s Alakhish!”
As expected, Arakish was trusted by various tribes, and many children came and begged Arakish to breathe fire or tell a funny story.
‘Well, fortunately, everyone is full of energy.’
After enjoying such leisure for a while, a little boy who seemed to be looking closely at Cassena and I screamed the next moment.
“This, human?!”
The very shriek signaled the confusion.
Frightened children screamed and scattered in confusion, and warriors ran from all directions screaming terrifyingly.
In an instant, we were surrounded by dozens of warriors, and while we thought so, more warriors were flocking in.
“Calm down, these children… … .」
Arakish quickly tried to mediate the situation, but fell silent and stepped aside.
because i asked for it
Amidst the chaos with the intent to kill, the beastmen raised their claws and bared their fangs… … With a gaze of hate as if looking at a monster.
“human… … .”
“I am human… … .”
Cassena staggered back and grabbed the hem of my fur cloak.
“oh my god? What should I do, Lane?”
Even if you ask like that, in this situation where you can’t even talk at all… … .
“Kill!”
“Kill him!”
Did I tell Arakish not to be aggressive? I did it because I thought the situation would get worse if I suppressed the situation with the power of Arakish.
“Hey, listen to me.”
I screamed so desperately, but no one listened.
kill, kill… … It only creeps forward, revealing its teeth and claws terrifyingly.
At that time, as if to protect us, the one who stepped forward to me was, surprisingly, the warrior commander Barlzen.
“These two little boys are friends of our Durancus tribe!”
“what?”
“I know that those who show their teeth are attacking our tribe, and this Batu’s son Barlzen will personally break all of them!”
Humans and friends, the warriors were dumbfounded and began to hum as they faced each other. Then someone walked out among the warriors.
It was a warrior with the head of a pure white polar bear, and was much taller and physique than Barlzen, who was on the larger side among warriors.
“How dare you bring a hairless beast to Ravenfell?”
It was one child with a long knife mark on its left eyeball, but the remaining eyeball scanned us up and down eerily.
“At first, I thought I was mistaken and watched it, but after being born and growing in the depths, did its head rot in the depths?
“My eyes and hair are as strong as my father gave them to me, Opus. Get rid of that damn rice cake stand right now and open the road. You must meet Grifion.”
“You mean with those human kids?”
“Yes.”
“I can’t let Grypion suffer such disgrace. I’ll kill you right here with those hairless kids!”
In that moment, before Opus could finish his words, several warriors attacked us by the scruff of our necks——
For an instant, Barelzen grabbed the shoulder of the warrior who rushed in first and pinned him to the ground—
That moment when Arakish decided that he had to overpower the situation with force, and tried to take the form of a dragon—
“stop!”
With an angry shout, the letters that had been drawn beautifully in the air and radiated light changed into a certain power.
A translucent gravitational field spread around us, gently pushing away the beastmen who had approached us. not to get hurt at all.
The tension, which had reached its limit, went into a lull for a while, and a strange silence fell.
‘This… … A telekinesis barrier?’
The magic square of the wind spinning on my palm crumbled powerlessly.
The original plan was to summon a gust of wind to push the excited warriors away. Of course, the situation may have been more serious because it had to be in a rough way.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a perfectly controlled telekinesis… … .
“Why are you not listening to us? Why are you always trying to fight!”
The owner of the magic didn’t have to think about anyone else, but we all looked at the girl with surprised faces.
During these three months, Cassena Page, who made great progress under the guidance of Alaqish.
Maybe that hair color… … The polar bear Opus, who had been staring blankly at the light purple hair, let out a fierce shout.
“What are you talking about with a hairless beast!”
Then, without fear, Cassena strode in front of Opus and kicked Opus’ thick shin with her small foot.
“What does it matter if you have hair or not! Aren’t you and me human beings the same?!”
Opus narrowed his eyes, forgetting even the shock that a human kid had dared to kick him.
It won’t be a crowd. Even those of us who knew Cassena’s personality had to look at her in amazement.
If innocence is a weapon, then Cassena might have the most powerful weapon in the world.
It was self-evident that the spotless innocence in that voice and eyes just threw the beast warriors into confusion.
‘It’s the same person… … .’
‘Are they considering us as human beings?’
In the midst of such confusion, Cassena pointed at me with all her might.
“We, Rain, came all the way here to help you! So please listen to what Lane has to say! You can do that much!”
