"If the caster is strong enough and pays attention, they should not die, because the magic in this world has the meaning of suspending the time of frozen things. If it is strong, it may keep them alive."

"this world?"

"Don't worry about spoken words."

"That's right...but it would be great if this was fake..."

"No way, this should be true."

While talking, An Luo also squatted down and observed the little girl.

No matter how you look at it, this girl is real. Her lifelike appearance is more exquisite than the most advanced wax figures. Even the pores and tiny fuzz are restored very well...after all, this is real.

The girl stood on one leg independently, maintaining a running state. Her face was full of fear, obviously she was running away.

Looking around, almost everyone on this street looks like they are running away, or they are too scared to escape, lying on the ground trembling in despair, all kinds of fears, but without exception I'm afraid of something.

Moreover, the ice shows no signs of melting, and the hardness is still quite high upon knocking. It is obvious that the caster has extremely high attainments in ice magic.

It is not impossible for An Luo to break the ice and save people, but... if he is not the caster of the spell, the most likely way is to destroy the people inside together with him, or to use his mind to break it. It is true that detailed destruction by power can cause no harm, but the sequelae of being frozen are very troublesome to deal with, unless all magical effects disappear the moment the ice is broken.

It is clear that the complete, perfect, and harmless removal is more troublesome than the application itself, so An Luo did not suddenly do anything unnecessary.

Without taking two steps forward, the girl next to him fell to the ground because the ice was too slippery, but she quickly patted her butt and stood up again with the help of An Luo, smiling and not taking it seriously.

However, when this process continues for more than a dozen times...

"It hurts~! My butt is about to break in two..."

Amnesia couldn't help crying and complained to him.

"The butt is originally made of two halves, cough... How about I rub it for you?"

"...Pervert! And you make sarcastic remarks!" Amnesia puffed up her cheeks angrily and turned her head away to ignore him.

And then.......

"Ouch...it hurts so much...it hurts so much..."

"You are a knight, right? Why do you cry after falling down a few times while walking? It's really..."

"Knights are human beings and can feel pain!" Emnesia, whose eyes were full of mist, waved her hands and protested with abandonment: "Besides, I don't even remember whether I am a knight or not! How can you use a knight? Come to me with your request! And why can’t you fall? I want to exchange shoes with you!”

"They're almost the same shoes. Besides, I can't wear your shoes, right?"

"Then you must have some secret that you haven't told me!"

"Is there a secret? I really don't know what the secret is..." Facing the girl's childish complaints, An Luo just shrugged and pulled her up from the floor and squatted down in front of her. He patted himself on the shoulder and said, "It's okay if I carry you on my back?"

"Yeah~! Thank you~!" The girl regained her energy in an instant, jumped on his back and hugged his neck, and asked casually as if she was very happy: "Speaking of which, the country where we met is What kind of country, the first time we met, An Luo was so gentle?"

"Of course, I have always been a presence that warms the surroundings like the sun."

"Really~? It always feels suspicious~" the girl questioned in a childish tone.

"Well, it's fake, so if I take two more steps, I'll fall down, and I'll fall down on my back, with you underneath me."

"Eh?? Really?!"

"real."

"Isn't that too much? No!"

"What did you just say about me?"

"That, that... An Luo is the gentlest person in the world!"

"You know what you're interested in."

"...You bully people..."

The girl who was forced to change her story muttered in a low voice, feeling aggrieved.

"But I'm helping you now, right? You should be grateful to me."

"Gentle people are not like you... No girl will like you."

"Ah, you have said this before."

"Then I will definitely talk about it again tomorrow. Please bear with me. After all, I don't remember."

"don't want."

"That's why you are unpopular."

"Unfortunately, my biggest worry is that there are too many girls who like me."

"Haha, you surprisingly have a sense of humor~"

"Well, you've said this before. By the way, what I just said, I also said it myself."

"Then I said the same thing. I will definitely say what I just said again, so please be more... Huh? Wait? Was An Luo so narcissistic before?"

"Emnesia, if you don't tell me 100 of my advantages right away, I will fall down, right?"

"——Hey, hey?! I only have one day's memory of you, where can I find a hundred good qualities about you? Isn't it too overwhelming?"

"I don't care about that. Anyway, you can list 100 advantages for me, otherwise you can just wait and support me."

"Stop threatening people like this! You are really, really going too far!"

....

....

Carrying the noisy girl on his back, ignoring her protests to come down, and holding on to her thighs to prevent her from escaping, An Luo walked quickly on the streets that had become icy.

It's just that no matter where you go, everything is covered in ice and snow. Even the buildings are completely frozen. If you want to open them, you have to forcefully smash the doors and the ice together.

But he didn't walk for too long. When Amnesia racked her brains and was forced to list about his eighteenth advantage, but could no longer find words to praise him, Anluo suddenly stopped and looked. Towards the back of the building not far away.

"Emnesia, come down here. There seems to be someone in front of you."

"Huh...human? Survivor? Or monster?"

Amnesia, who could no longer think of any complimentary lines, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately got off An Luo's back when he bent his knees. While wary of the surroundings, she muttered small complaints while adjusting herself to what An Luo had done. Some garter stockings that are a little crooked.

Not long after she was surprised that there seemed to be nothing, she discovered something keenly. Her face suddenly changed and she stared intently at the corner of the road ahead, and put her hand on the handle of the knife vigilantly, in order to compare with the ordinary people and animals of the period. The harmless look on the contrary shouted: "Who is where?"

No one responded. In this city where everything was frozen, only the girl's low voice echoed, but if you listened carefully, you could also hear the sound of friction and collision of ice cubes.

Then...a woman appeared. To be precise, she had a body shape similar to that of a woman.

Judging from the clothing, the humanoid being wearing a large wizard's hat, a witch brooch on his chest, and holding a wand in his hand must indeed be a witch.

Just through the disheveled witch's long black hair, it can be seen that her eyes are as lifeless as those of a dead person. Not only are her clothes messy and rag-like, but there are also ice cubes everywhere on her body. The whole thing is like a dead tree covered with mushrooms. Not to mention the hands and feet, even the face is covered with ice.

"Although I don't know who you are and what your situation is now, but - if you continue to come closer, I will chop you!"

Emnesia, who instinctively sensed danger, drew her saber.

An Luo hid behind the reliable-looking girl and looked at her curiously without any sense of nervousness: "Is this... some strange disease?"

With this thought in mind, he used insight again.

[Name: Rudra

Race: human

Characteristics: As the top witch among witches, the Great Witch Ludra is called the Great Witch. She possesses the powerful magic power to change the climate. In order to save her homeland, she froze the entire country. At this moment, her humanity has completely disappeared. And at the end of death, he prays for salvation and seeks death. 】

"Although there is a lot of information, the specific situation is still not clearly stated."

Looking at the witch who suddenly walked toward them, through her sickly face and scattered hair, all she could see were eyes without any emotion.

Before even trying to communicate, the witch raised her wand and released ray-shaped icicles towards Emnesia, seemingly intending to freeze her as well.

This is different from ordinary ice magic. The icicles should obviously freeze things that touch it. The girl who wanted to split the icicles was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously wanted to avoid it but thought that An Luo was behind her. She hesitated for a moment and looked at it. Just when he was about to be hit by the cold current and turned into an ice sculpture, An Luo was pulled directly behind him.

Before she could exclaim that An Luo was about to be frozen, a huge black sword cut through the cold air and grew on the icicles. Weirdly, it shattered the icicles without being frozen by the ice.

The scattered ice crystals turned into fine pieces of ice, reflecting the colorful light in the sun, making it look beautiful.

Before Emnesia could breathe a sigh of relief, the opponent shot out icicles one after another, but An Luo also waved the magic sword with magic-breaking properties at high speed. No matter how many icicles flew from the opposite side, they were all cut down. Under the sword.

The witch who has lost her humanity and intelligence has no rules or means. She just keeps throwing icicles, and at the same time she keeps walking towards An Luo. She has no understanding of the reason why she should keep a distance from the person using the sword. Therefore, This battle where An Luo was attacked from one side seemed dangerous, but it only seemed...and it was over in the blink of an eye.

The witch who could only use a single attack and walked over by herself was knocked unconscious by An Luo, who followed the consistent principle of avoiding killing people in front of children and hit her head with the sword.

....

"Well... An Luo, what should we do next?" Amnesia looked at the witch who fell on the ground and was covered in ice. The resident asked: "Aren't you a magician and a doctor? Why do you still use a sword? And...it seems that your sword skills are better than mine?"

"As a traveler, of course you have to be proficient in everything."

"No, don't bully me because I have no memory. It's impossible for a normal traveler to know magic, swordsmanship, and medicine at the same time, right? And that sword doesn't look like an ordinary sword, right?"

"I'll just pretend that I'm not normal." An Luo casually ignored the question and looked at the wand that the witch dropped on the floor: "Compared with these things that are all good, I think it's better to ask now. The situation is more appropriate.”

"Isn't this a good thing? And... who? Wake her up? She doesn't look like she can communicate, does she?"

"No, it's about her wand."

"Her wand?"

"Um."

Without any further explanation, An Luo picked up the wand that the witch dropped on the ground and used the magic to turn the item into a person.

A healthy witch appeared in front of the two of them, but she looked at the owner on the floor with a gloomy face and a sad face.

"——The magic wand turned into a human?!" Amnesia covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"Okay, stop making such a fuss." An Luo, who was actually surprised at first, patted the girl's head and looked at the wand: "Can you explain what's going on?"

"...Instead of my explanation, you should follow me to Lord Ludra's house to have a look."

The magic wand let out a long sigh, then gently lifted up the witch who fell to the ground. Even though she was very uncomfortable and even painful from the ice pricks on her body, she still refused An Luo's help and carried the witch on her back alone, leading the two of them there. In this country where everything is frozen, it is the only building that is not frozen.

When entering the room, the wand did not speak or pay attention to the confusion of the two people. He just put the witch on the bed as gently as possible and said without looking back: "You will know the whole story after you look at the letter on the table. "

"...Do you believe it?"

An Luo looked around, and soon in the bedroom, which only had a desk, bed, bookshelf and other simple furniture, he found a dusty letter on the desk that seemed to have been there for a long time. While reading the letter, the two of them Finally fully understood the whole story.

And this letter is also the letter of help from the great witch Ludra, asking the travelers passing by to save the country, and to kill herself who has lost her humanity and intelligence and has been completely eroded by the dirty magic. .

.......

.....

...

(PS: Irena is just going to the unknown country. She will meet you soon, and the Lavender Witch will definitely meet her too...

By the way, at the end of the month, I’d like to ask for monthly tickets, blades, and recommendations that haven’t been voted in yet and will be wasted soon as they expire...)

Chapter 18 Emnesia forgets her hometown

Before the Great Witch Ludra wrote the letter, an infectious disease was spreading in the country, causing people to have high fevers, skin ulcers, and death within a few days. Moreover, the disease broke out in one fell swoop and spread at a terrifying speed.

The great witch Ludra, who was entrusted by the king to investigate, failed to get any clues after an investigation, and she herself was not sick, leading the country to even suspect that she created the infectious disease.

After all, the witch's body is the same as that of a normal person. It is too strange that she can't get sick when a normal person gets sick. Eventually, the whole country began to reject her. People would throw stones when she walked on the road, and the relatives of the deceased even used knives to attack her. .

So when the disease broke out, almost everyone in the country was infected, and the country would be destroyed in a few days. With love for his hometown and patriotism and sense of mission to save the motherland, Ludra had no choice but to choose She walked into the streets and used all means to freeze the country, turning from a witch into a devil in the eyes of the people.

After finally achieving his goal and freezing the country, he immersed himself in researching the disease alone, and finally discovered during the long research that the disease was not actually an ordinary disease, but a side effect of magic.

The dirty and turbid magic power from the city of faith turned into harmful substances and flowed into the river, causing the country's citizens to fall ill one after another. She herself was not exempt, just because as a witch, she was as immune to common diseases as normal people. Resistance, but it has a certain amount of magic resistance.

When she discovered the cause, she herself had been eroded by this dirty magic. Her body was sore with ulcers, so she had to use ice to solidify the wounds to delay her illness. She also worked hard to make a potion to relieve the illness caused by the magic pollution. She finally lost consciousness before she completely lost consciousness. It worked.

She made the antidote become the snow that kept falling in the sky, but she herself delayed it for too long and consumed too much magic power. Even if she had the antidote, she herself could not cure it. Although the symptoms did not worsen with the antidote, human nature ( Reason, sensibility) are often polluted by dirty magic and gradually disappear over time.

This letter was written at the end of her consciousness when she completely lost control. She tried her best to write it and asked the passing travelers to kill her who no longer had the magic power to lift the ice covering the country and could not even control her suicide.

[...As soon as I die, the source of magic in the frozen country will disappear and the ice will melt. There is no other way, so please...please kill——] The letter ended at the end where it became so scrawled that it was impossible to read.

...

...

"An Luo..."

The heavy content in the letter deeply touched Emnesia's emotions, and her mood became very low. With a small voice, she gently pulled An Luo's clothes and looked at him pitifully. : "...Is it okay not to kill her? If An Luo... there must be a way to save her without killing her, right?"
