Seeing the little witch filling the bottle with the poisonous liquid of the carcass monster, Dardanelle and the other two people turned their faces away. The little witch filled the disgusting thing to the brim, then carefully stored it as if it were a precious object.
Looking at that pile of disgusting rotten meat, everyone sighed. Witches are not ordinary people.
Samurai were choking and the man who was vomiting blood was so badly injured that he was about to leave the forest in a Dewey carriage. Dewey gave the four snow dogs to them to pull the carriage. After all, all of it belonged to an old witch. Dewey was generous. In addition, the road ahead will be more difficult, so the train will not be used.
Before the two men left, Dewey seemed hesitant to do anything. When meeting monsters again on the way home, those who were injured obviously could not protect themselves.
Dewey thought for a moment, then collected the dragon fecal powder sprinkled by the old witch on the ground last night, wrapped it in parchment and sprinkled some of it on the clothes of the two people without heeding their astonished gazes.
“After this, you can return without worrying about being attacked by monsters.” Dewey's tone sounded relaxed. “You're hurt and bleeding, afraid of luring monsters out.”
“What is this thing?” Dardanelle looked at the green powder and asked with the same expression as Dewey when asking the old witch last night.
“It ...” Dewey grinned. “It's stool. Feces dragon.”
“Oh ...” The three people immediately understood. Other than being shocked, there were no uncomfortable or disgusted expressions on their faces.
The merrily samurai even smiled happily. “Good idea! When we were in the northwest, we sprinkled lion urine in tents to deter wolves. Dragon feces? Haha, witches are witches. Such a valuable item can also be obtained!”
That person seemed to feel the dragon feces on his body lacking a lot, wanting Dewey to sprinkle more on his body.
After the two wounded men left, Dewey tidied up the remaining items. The old witch left for no reason, leaving behind a bag containing many magic herbs, even a small magic crystal. Dewey examined it for a moment and concluded that it might be a piece of material used to set the magic circle. Dewey smiled, then kept it all.
Dardanelle brought Dewey back to their former camp. After the camp was attacked by carrion monsters, all that was left was chaos.
Dardanelle took two arrows and put them back in her backpack, then took two knives from two of her dead comrades, then dug a hole and buried them.
When they left, they were eight. Now there are three people left.
There's a sled here, but the sled-pulling snow dog ran away because of the attack last night. There was a dog half bitten by a carcass monster last night. After midnight, half of his corpse had already become ice cubes.
The tent is destroyed. Without hesitation, Dewey searched for items that could be used with Dardanelle. Then Dewey noticed the sled.
The sled was broken, probably stepped on by a carcass monster last night.
Under Dardanelle's bewildered gaze, Dewey whipped out a knife and dismantled the sled seating into several boards, then tied two rectangular boards to the sole of the shoe with a rope cut from the tent.
“What is this for?” ask Dardanelle.
“Walk in the snow. You can try it, very useful.” Dewey smiled.
Dardanelle had great respect for the unexpected little witch. Though clueless, she imitates Dewey by tying the board to the sole of the shoe.
While walking in the snow, he immediately admired the little witch.
The deeper into the forest, the snow gets thicker. Once stepped on, the snow piles even reached the knees. Wide boards under the feet keep their feet from sinking into the snow while walking.
In addition, Dewey even taught Dardanelle to glide with a board under their feet.
Skiing was one of Dewey's favorite sports in his previous life.
With those simple ‘slide’ boards, they are much easier in walking.
“Oh yes, Dardanelle. Last night, I saw the man who ran the front of the five of you run away. Is she Liszt family person too?” ask Dewey's origin on the way.
“Huh! The Liszt family does not have such cowardly trash.” Dardanelle sounded annoyed. “He is a fur trader in the southern city of the jungle. We gave him some money to make him our guide, but the fool took us around for three days without success. After returning, I will peel off his skin alive!”
Dardanelle was silent for a moment before saying, “We are different from other adventurers. We are Liszt family people, so we must not break through the border patrol guards. We can't make trouble for the Liszt family. Therefore, with the relation of the merchant, we bribed the patrol team officers so that we could be allowed into the forest. But now it seems that person has already taken the money we paid to bribe the officer.”
The two men walked from dawn until noon along the snow. Even though Dewey made skis, there are still hard-to-pass roads in the snow in these cold climates.
Dardanelle was a samurai so much stronger than Dewey. However, due to injured – even though the wound was tight after treatment, the lost blood was unable to recover in an instant – his body became weaker.
Dewey was exhausted too. Her body had gotten much better due to the strange exercises taught by the old witch lately. However, a 13-year-old young man could be as strong as what? If there's no ski board, Dewey's gone down.
If only it could fly with wind magic, Dewey thought. But seeing the cold wind here, Dewey sighed.
It could fly though, if it flew in the cold wind, its magic power would be drained shortly after flying.
They walked into the forest in the north. Dardanelle clearly knows more about life in the wild than Dewey. In their conversation, Dewey knew that Dardanelle used to be a mercenary when she was young, but she never came to the Frozen Forest. As a young man, he was once a bodyguard for fur smugglers in the northwestern prairies.
He was used to living in the wild like this.
Since the glass of the Marchioness Liszt was not a hereditary title, she had no territory and personal warriors. Moreover, it recruited a large number of private soldiers and armed forces like other nobles.
So, the people who were sent to come to the forest were the Marchioness' bodyguards. Dardanelle is the vice-captain. The captain died protecting a partner in the attack last night.
“We do not bring many people because ordinary people come to a place of this danger will only die and become a burden.” Dardanelle's nose is red because it's cold. He paused for a break. Actually he was not tired, but thought of the young witch.
The communication along the way made Dewey feel that Dardanelle was very kind and warm, as well as respectful to him. Dewey who did not have many friends after coming to this world immediately had a good impression of this samurai.
Dardanelle took a handful of snow and put it in her mouth. After the heat in his mouth melted the snow, he just swallowed it little by little.
After overcoming thirst, Dardanelle caught a glimpse of the sun. “Yang Mulia Witch ..”
“Call my name only.” Dewey smiled as he said, “No need to be too stiff, Dardanelle. There's only the two of us here, we're partners now. Besides, I was a kid.”
“Alright, Harry.” Dardanelle smiled happily. “Now it's noon. In this extreme northern place, the sky darkened rapidly. We'd better find a place to camp before the sky gets dark. Is dragon feces still there?”
“Still much,” says Dewey smiled.
“Good then.” Dardanelle's gaze dimmed, then said in a low voice. “Sweetest. If we could meet you who had dragon feces a day early, we would not have a monster attack in the middle of the night, even the captain would not die.”
“The dead don't come back to life, Dardanelle,” entertain Dewey. “Time keeps passing. The living must carry on their spirit. If we find the golden-eyed Pythons, they do not die in vain.”
Dewey.
He began to regret having hidden his identity to this cheerful man. Dewey felt embarrassed when he saw her smile. He simply answered as he could, then shifted the topic about him himself.
When the sun was about to set in the afternoon, the two of them finally found a place with a slightly lower surface, where they could camp and protect themselves from the wind.
However, the two men discovered that the place was already occupied when passing through the forest and arrived there.
“Warning!”
A whistling sound suddenly sounded from, then two people jumped from the tree. Dewey looked carefully. The two men were wearing white leather jackets, then dozens of heavily armed men were in the back of the forest. Some of them wore leather jackets, some wore leather armor. Their weapons are also diverse, some are holding swords, some are holding knives, some are holding axes.
A few people holding bows in the back, pointed arrows at Dewey and Dardanelle.
Seeing that the two people were not monsters, they calmed down.
“Reacted two people. Looks like we met a friend.” Someone like the chairman walked over with a smile. “Oh, it is rare for anyone to dare to walk this deep into the Frozen Forest with such a small amount.”
Dardanelle held the handle of the knife and looked at them warily. Dewey smiled, then said in a loud voice. “Who is the chairman among you?”
“I.” The man who spoke earlier looked at Dewey at a glance with a look of disdain. “Oh, a boy. I-i know. You guys are looking for a place to camp, right? Sorry, this place is occupied by us. If you don't mind, we will allow you to camp in the forest next to our camp. Be careful, do not enter our warning circle.”
“No, no, no.” Dewey. “We don't want to be a savage animal meal by camping in the forest. Let us in. Can we join your camp? We're just the two of us, it won't take up much space. You guys are mercenaries hunting monsters, right? Maybe we can help each other.”
They looked at each other and suddenly laughed out loud. The chairman looked at Dewey with a look of disdain. “Bokah, what can you help? Throwing away our urine in the middle of the night? Haha …. Go quickly! Since we are both adventuring in the Frozen Forest, I will not make things difficult for you. The important thing is that you are not looking for trouble.”
Dewet stepped forward. “No, I insist on my request.
The chairman's expression darkened. “Oh, want to find trouble, boy?”
Dardanelle pulls Dewey slowly, then whispers. “I know their badges. They were the Snow Wolf Paying Army. They number a lot, we better not make a problem.” Dardanelle looked at the badge on the captain's chest, then whispered again. “We change places only.”
Dardanelle had such an adventurous experience when young that she was quite familiar with some of the famous mercenary groups on the mainland. In addition, he also knew that the criminals could not be harassed.
They would even fight and drop each other amid adventurous activities. It's all common.
Fortunately, Dewey and Dardanelle did not bring anything. Seeing that the two people were not carrying any valuables, they did not think too much about it either.
If Dewey and Dardanelle bring in valuable hunting results, they might have bad intentions.
Fighting with them is not wise. Although this little witch had little ability, those dozens of people were obviously just security guards on the outskirts. Just guarding dozens of people, that meant there were at least a hundred people in their camp.
They were just the two of them, so it was best not to look for trouble.
“Hei, Dardanelle. Just listen to me.” Dewey's not afraid to make a mess. Moreover, he was certain that the old witch was still around him.
Dewey deliberately looked at the man in front of him with an arrogant expression. That person was wearing leather armor, the weapon in his hand also looked incredible. He shouldn't be an ordinary person. “You are the Snow Wolf Pay Army, right? You should only be a captain. Can you represent the spirit of your mercenary group?”
Dewey's right. The man was just a captain in charge of the surrounding security. He frowned as he said, “Bokah, what do you want to do? If you want to suffer, I don't mind doing it.”
After which, he unsheathed the sword and approached Dewey with a strange smile.
However, a few steps later, he immediately stopped.
Dewey was still standing there with a faint smile, but his right hand was raised. A fireball appeared in his palm.
Everyone in the group of well-rounded mercenaries who traveled everywhere. They saw the boy smiling, then a fireball appeared in his palm.
“That's how the Snow Wolf Pay Soldiers treated a witch?” Dewey smiled mockingly. “Alright, I'll remember it.”
Finished speaking, Dewey pulled Dardanelle. “Come, my friend. It seemed like they were already strong enough that there was no need for a witch. They don't even understand to help each other in this damned place.”
The witch! That boy is a witch.
Everyone, including the captain, was stunned. When they looked at Dewey, their gazes were no longer mocking, but respectful and fearful.
“Everything's backing down, stupid!” An angry shout rang out from within the forest, then a large tall man walked out.
That man was wearing a rhinoceros leather armor. In this cold place, he was wearing a white robe that revealed arms and muscles. His beard is brown, he looks mighty. He did not hold a weapon, but everyone retreated as he stepped out. “Chairman!”
The captain immediately advanced, but the group leader only glared at him at a glance. “You treated us, brother. Backward.”
Finished speaking, the group leader walked before Dewey regardless of his subordinates. With a smile on his face, he said in a loud voice. “Your Majesty the Witch, my subordinates do not know manners. I'm sorry for their irreverence.”
“This is the group leader of the Snow Wolf Charge Army, Chairman Beinrich.” A mercenary next to him said in a loud and proud voice.
Dardanelle's eyes sparkled, then she said, “That person has another name, which is the Eye of Storm. He was an outstanding person in the mercenary circle of the northern mainland region, and was known as one of the three great northern mercenaries. I've heard his name.”
Beinrich laughed then said, “Hurricane Eyes are just names given by others. I'm done introducing myself. May you tell me your name, Your Highness the Witch?”
“Harry Potter,” Dewey replied with a smile. “I don't wear magician robes or badges. But that is common in this place. You can definitely understand.” Dewey looked at the chairman's eyes, then slowly said, “My friend and I have no malicious intentions. We have our own business in the Frozen Forest. I believe that if a witch can join your group in this place, even if it is only a few days, it will definitely benefit both parties, right?”
“Snow Wolf Payment Army warmly welcomes the arrival of witches.” Beinrich laughs. “I'm confused. Every time it came here, those beast tamers were annoyingly troublesome. If there is help of a witch it will be easier.”
As he spoke, Beinrich looked at Dewey, waiting for his answer.
“I'm very happy to help.” Dewey's answer made Beinrich very happy. “Chairman, you see, right, that we were just the two of you. Growing people in this damned place is a good thing, isn't it?”
“Please, Your Majesty the Witch. Our camp is ahead. There are two bottles of wine in my tent.” Beinrich laughed and led the way enthusiastically.
Dardanelle. Dewey pulled her aside before whispering, “Dardanelle, don't say much. We first came to the Frozen Forest, not familiar with this place. But they come here often. They are familiar with the land and environment here. Joining them is easier to find than we go around obscure in the forest.”
