I raise elves in Florian

Chapter 148 The Bitter Cold of the Northern Kingdoms 2

"Speaking of which, you did go to take care of some business at the time."

Frillie thought back for a moment, and it seemed like there was such a thing.

"So this is what certificates look like now!"

Frilian glanced at the certificate in Philon's hand.

"Yichen, do you have this too? Wasn't the Continental Magic Association founded by you and Celia?"

Frillie turned to look at Shi Yichen beside her. She hadn't forgotten that the Continental Magic Association was an association jointly established by Celie and Shi Yichen.

"Sigh! Was the Continental Magic Association founded by Lord Shi Yichen?"

Philon looked at Shi Yichen with some surprise. She had previously thought that Shi Yichen was just a powerful mage in the Continental Magic Association, but she did not expect that Shi Yichen was the founder of the Continental Magic Association.

Not only Philon, but Count Granat was also shocked as he looked at Shi Yichen. The continental magic association had been established for over a hundred years, and it was hard to imagine that this young girl had lived for so long.

"Although I created it, I also created it with others, and I don't have a magician's certificate because I am a warrior, so I don't need a magician's certificate."

Shi Yichen shrugged and said to everyone, what use would a warrior like her have for a magician's certificate? Although she could easily obtain one, she didn't want to do so.

"Forget about Lord Shi Yichen, Lady Frilian doesn't have one either. Are you an unlicensed black magic user?"

Philon also felt that Shi Yichen's words made a lot of sense, but Frilian left Philon speechless. As a wife, Frilian knew nothing about anything except her husband.

"Don't talk to me like I'm some kind of unlicensed quack doctor. What can I do? The organizations that manage mages are always changing, and I can't possibly pass all those certification exams."

There was nothing Frillie could do; she was lazy and a homebody, which was basically just an excuse for herself—she simply didn't want to go.

"Anyway, this certificate of holy authority is useless now."

As she spoke, Frilian pulled an iron plaque from her bosom. This was the earliest form of proof of a mage's status, while the Proof of Holy Authority was a certificate that only those who became archmages could possess.

"Where did this antique come from?"

Philon looked at the Holy Authority Certificate in Frilian's hand; she had never seen such an ancient relic before.

“Although this is an antique, it is proof that I was a great mage a thousand years ago. I have one of these too.”

Shi Yichen explained to Philon and Shutark that this thing was not something that could be obtained casually. A thousand years ago, there were no more than twenty people on the entire continent who possessed this sacred certificate.

"This ancient artifact has such a great background, but that's proof from a thousand years ago. Without proof of being a first-level mage, we still can't get past it."

Philen sighed helplessly. She knew that Shi Yichen and Frilian's strength had long surpassed that of a Level 1 mage, but they were upset because neither of them had proof of being a Level 1 mage.

"Frequent changes in management standards are a real headache!"

Frilian casually put away the certificate of holy authority.

"In short, we cannot move forward like this."

Philon sighed, realizing that so much more awaited them.

"I don't know very well, but there should be places in the northern countries where one can take the Level 1 Magician exam, right?"

Philon turned to Count Granat and asked.

"You're talking about Vessaster, the largest magical city in the northern kingdoms, right? It's a long way after crossing the Schville Mountains. Although you can just follow the main road, it's quite a long road."

Count Granat told Shi Yichen and his group that while they were talking, a large number of residents gathered at the city gate, who had come spontaneously to bid farewell to the heroes who had saved the city.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Granada family will never forget this kindness. Have a safe journey."

Count Granat addressed the four of them solemnly, and everyone stood at the city gate, watching the departing group.

Not long after they set off, Shi Yichen and his companions suddenly looked up at the sky.

"It's snowing."

Shi Yichen watched the snowflakes falling from the sky.

Winter is almost here.

Philon said, looking at the snowflakes drifting in the sky.

"Winters in this area are tough, be careful, or you could lose your life."

With a serious expression, Frilian said to Philon and Shutark that the winters here are truly freezing.

Is it really that dangerous?

Philon asked Frilian with a puzzled look.

"Don't you know? When fighting the Demon King's army, the thing that killed the most people was the severe cold of the northern countries. If you rely solely on magic, you won't be able to hold out for long."

Frilian smiled and said to Philen, but although Frilian spoke in a relaxed tone, Philen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after hearing it.

The northern kingdoms.

Deka region.

The four of them walked along the main road. The further north they went, the colder the weather became. The biting cold wind made Frilian hide in Shi Yichen's arms. Even without using magic, Shi Yichen's body was very warm.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the snowflakes flew higher and higher. Because the snow was so heavy, the visibility was much lower, and they could no longer see the surrounding scenery. The four of them felt more and more uneasy as they walked.

"I told you, I was lost."

"Frilian said helplessly, because the snow was too heavy and covered the road. One wrong step led to another, until they lost their way."

Both Shutark and Philen were shivering from the cold. Shutark shivered so much that the engine stalled, and he collapsed straight down.

Philen quickly grabbed Shutark and caught him, preventing him from falling headfirst into the snow.

Why not use magic? This was Shi Yichen and Frilian's decision. Relying too much on magic is a bad habit. If they get used to it, what will they do if they encounter a situation where there is no magic user? So they will not use magic unless absolutely necessary.

Shi Yichen, for example, doesn't need to use magic; he can withstand the cold of the northern countries purely through his physical body.

"What should we do?!"

Philon saw that the snow wasn't going to stop anytime soon, and they needed to find a place to rest, or they would really die here, at least for Philon and Shutark.

"We encountered danger before even entering the Schweil Mountains. This is no joke."

Frilian looked at Hugh Tarek, who had fainted from the cold, and said that Frilian was not worried about Hugh Tarek being in danger at all, because sometimes Yichen was there.

“Mr. Shutark, wake up! You’ll die if you fall asleep.”

Philon gently patted Shutark's cheeks a few times, making Shutark's pale face flush red.

"Is the special giant berry ice cream supposed to be this small?"

Shutark went into shock and started talking nonsense. It was probably because of the cold that Shutark thought he was eating ice cream in his sleep.
