Chapter 57 Beside the woodpile

【This guy runs so fast.】

Lancelot was screaming that something was wrong. He remembered what Frank had told him before leaving: try to move on the edge of the frost forest and never get close to the center, because that was the natural hunting ground for high-level monsters.

"Lilith, come back quickly!" Lancelot shouted loudly as he tried his best to chase the girl's figure.

However, Lilith seemed unable to hear his voice at all and was still chasing the unlucky hare.

What made Lancelot even more frightened was that the sound of wind in his ears seemed to be much stronger than before.

The fierce cold wind seemed to have touched a special switch, and heavy snow fell like feathers from the sky again, and even the vision began to become blurred.

After about five minutes, Lancelot felt as if his legs were filled with lead and became extremely heavy.

His steps gradually became slower, and it was obvious that his physical strength was almost exhausted.

[Huh?] At this moment, the boy noticed that Lilith suddenly stopped, and the staff with the shining purple light flew out of his hand and was inserted into the snow.

The girl fell down.

Seeing this scene, Lancelot quickly cheered up, endured the maddening soreness in his legs, and rushed towards Lilith's location.

"Lilith, are you okay?" Lancelot gasped for air. He saw the girl half-kneeling on the ground and asked anxiously.

Lilith turned around when she heard Lancelot's voice and winked at him mischievously.

"Hey, look what I caught." Lilith said, picking up the staff on the ground.

Lancelot suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his worries were completely unnecessary.

There was an extra hare on the staff, and it was the unlucky one they were chasing just now. At this moment, Lilith's staff had stabbed her in the heart, and the blood flowing out seeped into the snow.

"Lilith, since we caught the rabbit, let's go back quickly." Lancelot looked around at the dark surroundings worriedly. He was not sure if they were still at the edge of the forest.

"Why?" Lilith asked doubtfully, holding the staff in one hand and the rabbit's ears in the other.

"Lilith, don't you know that there are many ferocious monsters in the Frost Forest?" Lancelot sounded very anxious and continued: "The closer you get to the center of the forest, the higher the level of danger."

"Of course I know, you don't need to worry about this. I can handle all the monsters below the intermediate level." Lilith said with confidence, "And we just ran at most two thousand meters. Normally we would have to enter the forest eight miles."

Only within a kilometer will there be traces of intermediate-level monsters."

Lancelot was speechless for a moment and realized that his worries were unnecessary.

"But Lancelot, where did you know these things?" Lilith suddenly felt something was wrong and asked: "I remember when I mentioned the Frost Forest to you in the afternoon, didn't you tell me that I had never heard of it?

Is this this place?”

"Um..." Lancelot was at a loss for words. He didn't want the girl to know that he had told Frank about running away.

"Forget it, let's roast this hare to fill our stomach first."

"Are you sure? You want to be here?"

Lancelot lowered his head and looked at his feet. The heavy snow had already buried their footsteps.

"How can we make a fire when the snow and wind are so heavy now?"

Because the wind was so loud, Lancelot had to raise his voice: "And where can I find firewood now?"

Lilith waved the staff in her hand: "Don't worry, everything you mentioned can be solved with this."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl began to chant a spell in a low voice. After a few seconds, a large branch suddenly fell next to the two of them.

I saw that the branch began to fall apart under the influence of magic, and was finally cut into long wooden sticks with neat edges and corners.

Lilith's right hand holding the staff was slightly raised in the air, and the pile of cut wood floated automatically, and when it fell, it had been piled into a cone-shaped wood pile.

I saw the girl silently reciting a spell, and a small ball of flame emerged from the tip of the staff. Although the flame was weak, it was not affected by the cold wind at all and flew straight to the pyre in front of the two people.

"Boom!" The firewood pile suddenly erupted with a loud noise, and then a flame that was two meters high burst out.

The bright firelight reflected Lancelot's shocked face, and the boy finally realized that the gap between him and Lilith was wider than he imagined.

As a freshman who has just entered the Wizarding Academy, Lilith is already able to use magic so skillfully.

"It's done." Lilith looked at the blazing flames with a satisfied smile on her face.

The fire illuminated an area within ten meters, and the snow on the edge began to melt, revealing a circle of green turf.

Lancelot bent down and picked up a branch from the ground, handed it to Lilith, and said, "Now, let's use this to roast the rabbit."

Lilith pierced the hare's butt with a branch and put it in the smoke.

The two of them sat down next to the fire and felt the warm smell emanating from the flames.

In private, Lilith simply lets herself go without any trace of the elegance of a noble lady.

Five minutes later, a strong aroma of meat floated in the air, and the hare's skin began to glow with a golden sheen.

Lilith took off the roasted rabbit and brought it to Lancelot: "Try to see if it's cooked."

Lancelot tore off a rabbit leg, blew on it, and then bit it.

"It smells so good!" The boy licked his lips, then pulled off a piece of meat from the roast rabbit and handed it to the girl, saying: "Lilith, you also want a rabbit leg."

Lilith opened her small mouth slightly, bit off a piece of rabbit meat, and then chewed it carefully, showing a satisfied expression on her face.

The roasted rabbit meat is not only crispy on the outside, but also tender and juicy on the inside. You can't stop eating it as soon as you put it in your mouth.

[This trip was really worthwhile, but the meat was a bit lacking. 】

Lancelot even gnawed clean the remaining bones, and there was still some unfinished content.

From time to time, there was the sound of wood exploding from the fire, and the warm breath enveloped the two of them.

In fact, Lilith used magic to isolate the wind and snow from the outside world, otherwise the fire would have been blown out by the howling wind.

After a while, the hare was eaten clean by the two of them. Lilith always had a smile on her face and seemed to be in a good mood.

Lancelot looked at Lilith's delicate profile, his thoughts a little dazed.

He couldn't help but think back to Lilith, the girl's mother with the same name, by the fire three years ago. Her face was as beautiful as her daughter's.

But Lilith seemed different, there was no greed in her eyes.

Perhaps it was the girl's innocence and kindness that made Lancelot put aside his prejudices, or perhaps he did not really regard Lilith as a wizard.

"By the way, I have a question for you." Lancelot stared at the blazing flames and asked.

Lilith nodded when she heard this: "Well, you go ahead."

"Lilith, why did you suddenly think of bringing me to the Frost Forest?" The boy expressed his confusion: "It shouldn't be just to eat barbecue, right?"
