Chapter 312 Journey to the Snow Country
The fine snow was flying, and the whole earth was shrouded in thick white.
Aomori walked slowly in a small town with a simple architectural style, with thick snow under his feet, silent.
He opened [Mind Eyes] and silently explored strange towns.
The townspeople here ignore his presence.
Suddenly, Aomori frowned, his figure disappeared instantly, and suddenly appeared in a dilapidated house, in front of him was a bald man with his back turned to him, lying on the ground, frantically tearing a little girl's clothes.
With a flick of his finger, the bald man flew out like a cannonball, knocked down a lot of debris, and passed out quite simply.
Aomori reached out and pulled the dazed little girl up, glanced at her, woven a white dress with holy light, put it on her body, and disappeared again.
In the snow-covered jungle, the figures of the two appeared.
"Hmm~" The little girl who was lifted above the snow by Aomori's thoughts tightened her clothes, and snorted comfortably, with a thick blush on her face, and looked at Aomori with blurred eyes: "It's so warm, It’s a feeling I’ve never had before. Are you a **** who came here to save me?”
"No, I'm just a passing passenger." Aomori shook his head, raised his hand and stroked the little girl's hair, making her squint her eyes like a cat.
After taking a rough look, she was about ten years old, with long hair that draped over her shoulders, and her body was thin, like a bamboo pole. She probably had not been able to get enough food and clothing for a long time, and her body was also dirty.
"What's your name? Is there anyone else at home?" Aomori squatted down and asked gently.
"Elsa, my name is Elsa, I have no family." The little girl said while rubbing her face against Aomori's palm.
"Elsa?" Aomori was taken aback, feeling that the name was a bit familiar, and quickly searched the memory in his mind, and soon found the owner of the name.
Aomori raised his eyebrows and said, "Let me ask, is this the Holy Kingdom of Gustico?"
"Yes." Elsa nodded obediently.
"Really." Aomori looked at the harmless little girl in front of him, and it was hard to connect her with that charming woman who was ruthless and liked to be "warm-hearted".
Elsa the Intestine Hunter, a well-known top killer in the industry.
‘So this is the world in "Life in a Different World From Zero"? I'm in trouble. ’ Aomori sighed secretly. It would be fine if he appeared at the beginning of the original plot, but now it is more than ten years ahead of schedule. For him who only made up the drama, a lot of information is still unclear, let alone the original novel.
At this time, the system prompt also sounded, but the task column is all [? ? ? ], because four months have passed since the decisive battle of the Monster Association, Aomori downloaded a level 40 copy.
The previous four dungeons were two "Ground Error" and the new level 30 dungeons "Hokage" and "Bleach". After experiencing these dungeons, Aomori's strength has improved a lot, but there has been no qualitative change. The distance from the gods is still There are quite a few distances.
The level 40 copy does not provide useful information, but the free period has been changed to one year.
Since there is no task, Aomori doesn’t have to worry about it, just follow his own wishes and explore this world well.
Among them, he has a strong interest in such things as "protection". The so-called "world's favor" is very imaginative with the power bestowed by the gods, and another "power" that is more weird like a "bug" is related to the rules. It has the same effect.
If he can figure out the truth of these things, maybe he can find a way to deal with the gods.
What makes Aomori feel regretful is that Reinhardt, who is the strongest in this world and the next swordsman who openly hangs out, has not yet reached the peak of his strength and cannot compete with him.
After thinking for a moment, Aomori came back to his senses, and remembered that little Elsa was still hungry, so he smiled and said to her: "I'm a little hungry, let's go eat together."
"Okay!" Elsa's eyes brightened, and she nodded heavily.
Exchanged the jewels from the treasure chest for money, Aomori took Elsa to a restaurant to have a good meal.
Elsa, who hadn't eaten meat for a long time, opened her belly and frantically searched for the delicious food in front of her. However, while eating, her left hand firmly grasped Aomori's palm, as if she was afraid that he would leave.
"Elsa, eat slowly." Aomori reminded.
Elsa has not yet become a "cursed doll", but is just an ordinary person, so she can't eat too much too fast when she is hungry.
"Hmm." Elsa obediently slowed down her chewing speed. After swallowing a piece of venison, she raised her head and asked, "Big brother, what's your name?"
"Name?" In this magical world, Aomori didn't want to reveal his real name, lest he be plotted against. He thought for a while and said, "My name is Nicholas Wang Wu. You can call me Fifth Brother."
Elsa silently wrote down the pronunciation of these words, and called out crisply: "Fifth brother!"
"Um."
"Fifth brother!"
"Um?"
"Why did you save me? You don't want to sell me, do you?" Elsa and Aomori's left hand clenched more and more, and the fingers turned a little white.
"Don't think wildly, saving people doesn't need a reason, or it is a reason in itself." Aomori patted her on the head and said in relief.
Elsa's worry did not diminish, and she continued to ask: "But there are many people like me on the street, why didn't you save them? So, I'm still special."
"Probably, because you are destined to be with me." If he hadn't known that she was an intestine hunter, Aomori might have only given her some money after saving her, and would not have brought her with him.
"Fate?" Elsa nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Then fifth brother, do you want to marry me as your wife?"
"No, I don't want to." Aomori stopped her unreasonable associations and said, "Forget it, you should hurry up and eat."
"Oh." Elsa nodded, grabbed a piece of meat and put it into her mouth, but her pair of black pupils kept staring at Aomori, shining with indescribable colors.
After eating and drinking enough, Aomori bought some new clothes and took her to the bathhouse to wash off the dirt on her body.
After washing, Elsa has fair skin and soft facial features. I have to say that she is indeed a beauty.
But before taking a bath, when Aomori removed the holy light, Elsa yelled: "Don't!"
Then he bit his lip and added: "I want yours!"
Aomori knows what she means, but others don't.
When he came out after washing, he was scrutinized by the proprietress of the store. Fortunately, Aomori's charm was great enough, so he didn't call for guards.
Afterwards, Aomori purchased some supplies such as spices and purified water. As for the means of transportation, it consisted of a snow bear and a sled.
The Holy Kingdom of Gustico has a cold climate and is covered with snow all year round. Cities can only be built on some special "sacred lands" that are not subject to freezing. The town we are currently in is a small holy land.
Compared with the snow mastiff, the snow bear is stronger, only one can meet the needs, and in the event of a snowstorm, the snow bear's huge body can resist the attack of the wind and snow.
The only downside is that it is a bit costly.
After the preparations were completed, Aomori stepped into the snow field with Elsa holding his palm tightly.
The journey on the snow field is quite boring, the scene in front of me has not changed much, it has always been the snowy appearance.
However, for the young Elsa, this is probably the happiest time.
Especially the morning exercise every morning is what she looks forward to the most, because as long as she can complete the tasks assigned by Aomori, she will be able to enjoy the baptism of the Holy Light.
For Elsa who longs for warmth, it is as happy as being in heaven.
For several days, whenever Snow Bear rested, Aomori would always spare some time to teach her some martial arts skills.
However, most of the time, she is allowed to do physical training to enhance her physical fitness.
“One cannot always think about relying on others, because others cannot be by your side all the time. Only yourself will always be worthy of being relied on.”
"Yes!" Elsa nodded heavily, completing the tasks assigned by Aomori without complaint, often too tired to stand up.
Unfortunately, only after the morning exercise can she enjoy the baptism of the Holy Light.
"Okay, take a break, let's try this." Aomori handed her a dagger.
Elsa took the dagger curiously, as if she had learned it without a teacher. The dagger jumped between her fingers like a puppet controlled by a thin thread. The smile on her face grew bigger and bigger: "This is fun."
'Physical skills can't be said to be particularly good, but she can play the dagger so smoothly for the first time, so does she really have protection? '
Looking at this performance, it is probably [Dagger Protection] or [Short Blade Protection], and can skillfully use daggers.
In the original plot, she used the short scimitar unique to the Holy Kingdom of Gustico. The movements are crisp and neat, and it only takes one knife to open the intestines.
Since this is the case, Aomori will let her focus on the use of daggers in the future, and she can also explore the mysteries of protection in the process.
Another few days passed.
With sufficient nutrition supply, Elsa's body has plumped up a lot, at least not as skinny as before.
Strength has also improved by leaps and bounds, and he has been able to kill a lone wolf on the snowy field by himself.
At the same time, they arrived at the northeast corner of the Holy Kingdom of Gustico - the Lingfeng Padikia.
According to legend, the magic power of this world comes from Odragna, which is also the origin of the world.
Elves, a special life form, are a general term for a supernatural existence that has self-awareness and can interfere with the world after sharing life from Odragna and using magic power to materialize in this world.
Among them, there are four most powerful elves, who brought fear, reverence, blessing and threat to people respectively, and are called the four elves.
Staying on the Lingfeng Padikia is one of the four great elves, the [spirit beast] Odgulus who represents blessings.
It is the only one of the four great elves who are friendly to humans, and has a close relationship with the royal family of the Holy Kingdom of Gustico. The appointment and dismissal of each king is determined by it.
Based on the idea of "everyone is here", Aomori simply went to meet this great elf who was not far away.
Let the simple and honest Snow Bear find a place to rest by himself, Aomori pulled Elsa, avoiding the kingdom guards at the foot of the mountain, like an outing, enjoying the scenery on the mountain that is much richer than the snowfield, while hiking up the mountain.
Soon, the two came to the top of the mountain and met the legendary great elf.
But what is surprising is that this great elf looks exactly like a small elk. If Aomori hadn't been able to sense the powerful energy contained in its body, he would probably have regarded it as an ordinary deer.
"Ah, what a cute little deer!" Elsa pointed at Odgoules and shouted loudly.
‘Its meat must be delicious. ’ Recalling the venison that she had eaten before, Elsa drooled uncontrollably.
"Elsa, you can't be so rude." Aomori knew what she was thinking at a glance, and patted her on the head involuntarily.
"It's okay, many people behave like this when they see me for the first time." Odegulus said with a gentle smile and narrowed his eyes.
‘No, it’s because you don’t know what she’s thinking, otherwise you wouldn’t be so generous. ’ Aomori complained, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is indeed famous for being magnanimous and kind."
"It's just a false name, and I will be angry, but those who offend me have long been speechless." Odgules said with a constant smile: "Then, travelers from another world, you came here specially to see Me, what is the matter?"
Once again his identity was called out, Aomori's heart was already calm: "Can you see that I am not from this world?"
"Well, because you have many powers that I feel unfamiliar to me." Odgullus said bluntly, "This world comes from Odragna, and everything will carry its breath, but you are not. "
"So that's it." Aomori nodded clearly, and asked, "I came to this world by accident and wanted to find a way to return. I heard that there is another world outside the Great Falls. I don't know how much you know about it."
re0 The world has a boundary, and on the boundary is a large waterfall with endless water.
It is said that this was created after the Witch of Envy devoured half the world four hundred years ago.
"Just call me Gules. As for the Great Falls." Odegulus shook his head and said, "Sorry, I don't know much about it. I don't know if I can reach another world."
"However, I suggest you take it as the last resort. Because even I dare not go beyond the Great Falls."
"That's natural."
It is as strong as the lazy witch, and she will fall into the waterfall and die because of a slip, so Aomori will not go there until he has settled other things.
"I still have a question, what exactly are [Protection] and [Power]?"
"[Protection] naturally comes from Odragna's preference, the blessing for the birth of life. As for [Power], it is the scepter it bestows."
"Is [Protection] inborn? Is it possible to learn it the day after tomorrow?"
"It stands to reason that if you are doted on by Odragon, it is entirely possible."
‘Well, Lai Aotian is an example. But I am a foreigner, it is difficult to get its doting, not even love. '
Aomori thought for a while and asked, "Is there any way to please Odragon?"
"There is a very direct way to restore the world that was swallowed by the Envious Witch."
"Hehe, I understand."
