Chapter 181 Cold Wave 2
Chapter 181 Cold Wave 2
"Forget it, let's just go to sleep. We'll find out the details tomorrow."
Frillie hid under the covers because she was afraid of the cold, so Shi Yichen placed the covers near the stove so that Frillie wouldn't feel cold while sleeping.
"That's all we can do."
Philen closed the windows inside.
"Philan, sleep here."
Shi Yichen patted the spot he had left for Fei Lun. Since they were all girls, they should sleep together. The mattress was so big that three people wouldn't feel cramped.
"It's so warm."
Philon snuggled under the covers and pressed herself tightly against Shi Yichen's body. She had felt a little cold just now, but as soon as she got close to Shi Yichen, the coldness disappeared, and all that remained was warmth.
Late at night.
A strong wind started to blow.
"Huhuhu~"
"Huhuhu~"
"Splash splash splash!"
Outside, a strong wind howled and battered the doors and windows, causing them to rattle and bang.
But the house was very quiet, with only the sound of firewood burning. That was because Shi Yichen had placed a barrier before going to sleep to isolate the sounds from outside. Otherwise, how could he fall asleep with so much noise?
…………
the next day.
"It's getting windy."
"It's shaved."
"It's been shaved."
Philon and the others chattered away, while Frilian just stared blankly at the terrible weather.
"The cold wave in this region will last for a month, so it's best not to travel far! Staying in a cabin for a while is fine."
The owner of the cabin kindly reminded Shi Yichen and the others, and then returned to his own house, because the blizzard was so heavy that if they went too far, they would not be able to find their way back, and people would freeze to death in such cold weather.
"Thank you."
Shi Yichen thanked the owner of the wooden house.
"So, Zain, are you setting off?"
Frilian looked at Zain beside her and asked, "We can walk in this weather, but whether we can actually get there is another matter."
Is it even necessary to ask?
Zain looked at Frilian speechlessly. Sending him away in this weather was practically sending him to his death.
"We won't be able to move around until the cold wave passes."
Frilian sighed and said, "We were supposed to reach the magical city of Visaster in about a week, but we're stuck here."
"That's it."
Zain nodded as well.
"Fortunately, there are taverns and general stores in the village, and the cottages are quite spacious, much better than the mountain huts we stayed in before. What's more, there's a magic shop run by a mysterious old man in this village."
Frillie said with a smile, she couldn't wait to stay here a little longer, because there was a magic shop here, which was the main reason, and she could buy magic books and some strange and wonderful magical materials.
"In my experience, those kinds of places often have legendary magic, so we can search there thoroughly now."
Frillie said confidently, "I have a firm grasp on this kind of thing."
"Legendary magic? What were some of the previous ones?"
Shutark looked at Frillie with confusion. He had never seen any legendary magic before, and asked with some curiosity.
"Hmph, magic to eliminate mold, magic to remove stubborn grease, and many, many more."
Frilian said to Hugh Tarek with a proud look that these spells were all legendary in Frilian's eyes.
"Indeed, those spells are incredibly convenient, enough to change the whole world."
After experiencing so much with Shi Yichen and Frilian, Philon gradually understood why Frilian was obsessed with collecting this kind of magic. Indeed, some of the magic was really useful and could be called legendary magic.
(To put it bluntly, Philon was led astray by Frilian.)
"It sounds like a grandmother's life hacks."
Zain stared speechlessly at Frilian, unable to understand why she insisted on collecting this kind of life magic.
"In short, now we can only wait. Underestimating the winters of the northern countries can be fatal."
Frilian said, looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky.
"I said, why do we have to stand in the snow and chat? Wouldn't it be better to go inside and talk?"
Shi Yichen stared speechlessly at the four people in front of him. They had been chatting in the snow for a long time. If they liked to chat, why didn't they go inside? Wasn't it cold outside?
"Oh! Right."
Suddenly, Frilian remembered that they had another room, so she pulled Shi Yichen back into the room.
“Indeed, Mr. Shutark almost died last time in the Schwell Mountains because of the winter weather in the northern countries.”
Philen brushed the snowflakes off her clothes and followed Shi Yichen and Frilian into the house, with Shutark following behind her.
“I was born in one of the northern kingdoms, so I know about these things.”
Zain looked at Philen and said, "He's a local, how could he not know how harsh the winters are in the northern countries?"
"However... I'll have to spend some more time with them now."
Zain smiled as he watched the blizzard. He wondered if God was deliberately keeping him a little longer, as it suddenly started snowing the day before he was supposed to set off.
…………
Before we knew it, a month had passed.
Inside the tavern.
"The cold wave is almost over, and adventurers can finally set off."
The owner of the wooden house was drinking with Zain and talking.
"Yes... yeah."
Zain nodded in response to the owner of the cabin while drinking his wine.
"Huh? It seems like we haven't spent much time together?"
Zain suddenly realized that he seemed to have spent most of his time in the tavern during this period.
"Zanin".
Frilian pushed open the tavern door and called out to Zain.
"Ok?"
Zain turned to look at Frilian.
Are you free?
Frilian looked at Zain and asked.
"What's wrong? Frilian, it's quite a surprise to see you at the tavern."
Zain looked at Frilian and said that Frilian usually doesn't come to the tavern because she only goes to the magic shop. If it weren't for Shi Yichen, Frilian might stay at the magic shop.
“Shutark and Philon seem to be acting strangely; they've probably had a fight. Go and try to talk them out.”
Frillian told Zain that she didn't understand why the two of them had suddenly started arguing, especially since Shi Yichen wasn't there at the time.
"It's possible, but why do I have to come? Isn't Shi Yichen here?"
Zain looked at Frilian with a puzzled expression. It was common for Philon and Shutark to argue, and sometimes when he wasn't around, Shi Yichen would mediate.
"Yichen wanted to replenish her supplies before leaving, and she hasn't returned yet. Besides, mediating disputes is the job of monks."
Frilian looked at Zain speechlessly. If Shi Yichen were here, she wouldn't have come to the tavern to find Zain; Shi Yichen would have already mediated things between them.
"is it?"
Zain looked at Frilian with some doubt. What did she mean by saying that mediating disputes was a monk's job? Did monks have this job?
