the remaining three Ogres instantly ran away while roaring in fear.
"do you think you can run?!."
the girl's slow voice was smooth but had a strong killing meaning, like a demonic whisper from the depths of hell.the girl screeched the whip that still had blood on it.
Bang...!!
the loud sound of the whip resounded like Thunder on a clear night.along with that, the blood on the whip splashed onto the snow surface.after the girl briefly looked at her already clean whip, he looked towards Ogre who was fleeing quickly towards the forest.
the whip in his hand gave off a dim golden white light.As the cbuk was swinging, the whip extended abnormally. the tip of the cbuk moves like the head of a viper that targets its prey.
in the distance, I saw that the tip of the whip pierced through the hearts of two Ogres running simultaneously from their backs. the soft-looking tip of the whip pierced through Ogre's powerful body like a spear tip that pierced through paper.
The remaining Ogre did not dare to turn his head and continued his run while staggered in fear.The girl looked at the remaining Ogre and pulled back her whip which had a bundle of blood on it. he again cleaned the blood in the whip in the same way, then swung back the whip towards the last Ogre.
the whip darted rapidly towards the darkness of the forest.When the whip was pulled back, the tip of the whip had already tied the runaway Ogre's neck.
I couldn't even see which way the Ogre disappeared into the darkness of the night, but the whip that the girl swung could snare Ogre's neck precisely, though, it was as if the whip had eyes to target Ogre in the darkness.
The ogre was dragged several tens of meters away from the girl with a whip that still snared her neck.
I saw, the girl looked at the frightened Ogre without the slightest change in her face, as if she was looking at an ordinary rock by the roadside.
the girl's lips were slightly opened and seemed to whisper something, but my ears were not sharp enough to hear what she whispered. After the corner of her mouth was slightly raised, my ears were not sharp enough to hear what she whispered, the girl flicked her hand and Ogre's head flew into the air. A fountain of blood immediately flew from her neck several meters high, drenching the chaotic white snow with blooming blood flowers.
the Ogre's head fell into a pile of bloody snow in the follow with his body that had been lifeless.
after seeing that result for a few seconds, the girl stepped in the empty air, as if walking normally on the ground and came towards me slowly.
the girl stopped in midair, a few meters away from me. The snowflakes that fell from the trees were sparkling with moonlight, giving a magical touch to the gentle girl standing in the air.
her long hair and waving in the wind, showed a touch like seeing a little fairy girl fused with snow.
in addition, it was the moon background that gave the girl a holy touch to the armor, along with a cold appearance on her face, the girl seemed to be the reincarnation of the Moon Goddess who descended into the mortal world as it was always written in the fairy tale book.
the girl looked around at some of my friends lying on the snow. Finally her eyes fell on the unconscious Linze with blood on the corner of her mouth, the blood on his face and clothes had frozen.
"Armor:«Cancel»"
"Title:«Change»"
the girl's armor broke into thousands of moon-white light and regrouped to form something like a card. With a wave of her hand, the card disappeared somewhere.
I saw that after the armor disappeared, the girl's clothes had changed into a small dress in white and bluish like ice crystals, on top of the cute little dress was a blue fur coat, the head of the girl was covered with a woolly threaded skullcap, and in his hands protected using small warm gloves.
either because of my feelings or what, the atmosphere around the girl became greatly changed. Initially the atmosphere around her seemed to give the illusion that she was a domineering cold queen, but the current atmosphere around her was like that of a gentle and calm girl.it showed that the girl was still a little girl, but there was no careless atmosphere like a girl her age. Instead, it was a little girl, the atmosphere she gave off was a gentle girl who was as calm and stable as a high-class noble daughter.
the girl landed in the snow and walked slowly towards Linze.I also directly came and raised the limze head.
Cliff:"Design. oee... Linze. wake!!"
I tried to wake Linze up, but to no avail at all.
"calm down. If you shake him like that, he'll die."
I looked at the girl who spoke to me curiously and asked what she meant.
"12 of the cervix, the thoracic base, and the two lumbars directly connected to the cervix are all fractured, and there is bleeding in the brain due to the violent shaking. the base of the brain and all the nerves in the spine are damaged to varying degrees, although he may survive, but he will be vegetative for the rest of his life."
I didn't understand what the girl was saying, but hearing the last sentence she said, I knew that Linze's condition was very bad.
Cliff:"what can I do now..."
I really feel helpless at the moment.I don't know what I can do to help Linze. Ever since Alein died, Linze was the one who helped me to take care of Milein. Linze has helped our family a lot in many ways.
but now, when he's like this I don't even have a way to help him.
as a sense of helplessness swept over me, I saw the girl extend her hand towards Linze.in her hand appeared a transparent liquid that emitted a golden light.The water was split into countless tiny threads, which were very small, and entered Linze's body through the pores in his skin.
the girl closed her eyes and concentrated. Looking at it like this, I did not dare to move and make a sound. Even I tried my best to suppress my breath and minimize the disturbance as much as possible.
crak... crak...!!
suddenly I heard a crackling sound from Linze's body. It was like bones were clanking and crackling. This was not my illusion, in my hand, it was like a bone, I sensed that Linze's back was wriggling like something was moving in it.
in the middle of this extremely cold night, Linze's body let out many sweaty beads, and his face showed tremendous pain.
if I had not known that this little girl was so capable, I would have thought that this girl was hurting Linze.
after a while, the girl opened her eyes. thousands of fine threads made of water came out of Linze's body.but, this time the water threads were purplish-black in color, black in color, and bright red as if stained with blood.
after all the water was removed, the girl threw the fishy-smelling liquid into the surrounding snow.
"i've cleared up the bleeding and also healed her wounds. Despite this, she still needs enough rest for recovery."
Cliff:"t, thank you. thank you so much."
I knelt down and buried my face in the cold snow to thank the girl.
"it doesn't need to be like this, uncle is better, uncle immediately looks for temporary shelter and brings the other uncle's friends."
I raised my head with deep gratitude.The girl seemed to be leaving, but immediately stopped and looked at Linze.
huh...!
I heard a slow sigh from the girl.I don't know what she meant by her sigh, but I didn't dare to ask either.
the girl took out something like a wooden plank out of nowhere and threw it into a fairly clean open space. After touching the surface of the snow, the wooden plank let out a bright light like daylight.
more surprisingly, in a few moments, the position where the wooden board was located had turned into a two-story cottage made of wood. its size was quite large like a house that was even bigger than my own.
on some sides of the building there are windows of transparent glass that cost very expensive.from the window can be seen a warm yellow light radiance from inside the Cottage.
the girl slightly waved and Linze's body floated in the air following the girl.before entering the house, the girl turned to look at me.
"the other two uncle's friends I'm handing over to uncle."
after saying that, the girl entered and disappeared from behind the door. naturally I would not be slow and carry the unconscious Croom. I carried her in my arms and wanted to approach Rule, who was not aware of her, but before I touched it, Rule raised his hand and said weakly:
Rule:"I can walk alone."
Rule tried to stand up as he pulled the tree trunk behind him. Although he said to walk alone, I helped him walk and brought the two of them into the log house.
arriving at the house, I saw a bright and warm room.in the room there were several furniture, such as: a long sofa of leather, a wooden table on the floor, and a wooden table, and all sorts of other furniture.
looking at the furniture inside and comparing it to our shabby appearance, Rule and I did not dare to touch it. Therefore, I put Croom on the floor, I put Croom on the floor, as well as Rule also sat on the floor while leaning against the wall.
after I calmed down, I heard the sound of water from the top floor.A few moments later, a beautiful and calm little girl slowly descended the stairs. he came to us and brought two boxes.
"it contains some of the potions I made, while the other box contains toiletries and a change of clothes."
not only that, Rule and Croom's wounds also healed. After Croom realized, the three of us went to follow the girl's instructions. arrived at the bathroom that the girl pointed at, which was, the three of us were surprised by the luxurious appearance inside.
after the initial mess, we were finally able to use the facilities for bathing and cleaning ourselves.
(the initial confusion they mean is how to use the shower.In the background of this story there is no such technology, so they have difficulty using it.)
the clothes that the girl handed over were fitting and very delicate.at first we were very hesitant to use them, but seeing our worn and dirty clothes, we finally decided to use the clothes.
after finishing cleaning ourselves and changing clothes, we came back to the spacious room at the beginning.we saw the girl sitting down and paying attention to our luggage bag.
Cliff:"a, are you interested in our game?."
I tried to tell her to ask the girl.
"i'm interested in this crystal horn. Can uncle sell it to me?."
Rule:"no, no, no. if miss, ah... This princess wants this, the Princess can have it. After all we have nothing to repay the Princess' kindness."
the call of the Princess that Rule made was an address of honor and flattery.although we did not know if this girl in front of us was human, but we decided to call her the Princess.
"then I won't be polite. oh yes, Uncle. It looks like your wife will realize tomorrow."
wife?!. after a moment of confusion, I finally remembered Linze.
Cliff:"t, no...!!. Linze is not my wife.he is my adventurous companion."
"i had thought that it was uncle's wife.in that case, I would put a barrier to protect the second floor.it is not good if women sleep surrounded by unrelated men."
"to sleep, on the first floor there are four rooms, these uncles can choose as they please."
after saying that, the girl slowly stood up and walked out the door.We collectively followed the girl behind her. the girl simply stood under the starry sky and looked up to look up at the series of moons in the extremely bright sky.
"is it possible that one day I can return home..."
the girl looked at the moon with a sense of melancholy and whispered words of question to herself.
after looking at the moon, the girl turned towards the three of us with a sweet smile.the smile seemed to be a Plum flower that bloomed in winter.
"goodbye uncle all. If there is destiny, we may meet again..."
the girl slowly floated up and flew towards the moon high in the sky.
Cliff:"wait...!."
the girl paused for a moment in the air and turned to look at us with a puzzled look.
Cliff:"b, what about all this?."
what I mean is the house and all these clothes.how can we return them.
"it's okay you can have it."
the girl flew back into the sky.I tried to stop her, but the girl did not stop her flight again.I don't know for what reason, suddenly the clouds darkened and covered the bright moon in the sky. the shadow of the girl disappeared covered by the black clouds.
Rule:"The goddess has returned to her place."
Rule stared at the girl's disappearance and muttered until only the three of us listened to her. Croom and I kept quiet and agreed to Rule's statement by default.
we didn't discuss it anymore and went inside to avoid the soon-to-be-falling snow.
.....
the light this morning was so bright, even though the cold still felt sharp like a knife piercing through to the bone. I really did not expect that the room that the girl was referring to was a room with a soft mattress that was very rarely encountered by ordinary people.
because of the good rest, I felt very refreshed after waking up. I went after cleaning myself and sat down with the others on the fur sofa. Since Linze had not woken up, we still had to wait for him.
Croom:"while waiting for Linze, we'd better take care of the Ogre's bodies outside."
Rule:"yeah you're right."
bodies left unattended would invite carnivores that might be harmful to us, so we had to take care of them immediately. We originally planned to take care of them at night, he said, but who would have guessed after the girl left there would have been a pretty strong snowstorm last night.Thanks to this wooden house.otherwise, we might have been buried in snow in a storm last night.
Cliff:"I'm coming."
Croom:"no. You can use flint in the kitchen to make us a dish."
they stepped away smiling at me. Well, between the three of us, I was the best at cooking, after all I had to take care of the little girl myself for many years, so I'm used to cooking.
not until noon, the cooking was finished.all I cooked was a simple dish using the venison that we had been blue at that time.along with the finished cuisine, which was already done, Rule and Croom entered while carrying a cloth bag.
I could guess what the cloth bag contained. The cloth bag probably contained Ogre's left earlobe which they had cut off as evidence of hunting that should be handed over to the Guild.
as the three of us wanted to have lunch, we heard footsteps from the stairs that turned out to be Linze who had come to a realization. The three of us excitedly walked up to him and wanted to help, but as we wanted to climb the stairs, we were just about to walk up, we hit a hard wall that was invisible.
seeing this incident, Linze knew what to do. according to Linze it was a low-level barrier, so he could remove the barrier himself.
Linze:"this, where did you guys get a high-end magic item like this?."
linze's eyes wandered all over the house and asked us in a surprised tone.
Rule:"high-end magic tools?."
Linze:"that's right.I've seen the same thing with this thing.it's in possession by the head of the capital's magic guild.but, the magic tools he has are far, far away, much worse than this."
Croom: "in that case, this thing must be very valuable."
Linze:"precious?!. This is far from being valuable. judging from the facilities as well as the strategic value that this magic tool has, you can at least sell for 100 Continent Gold Coins, at least you can sell for 100 Continent Gold Coins, but even if you have that kind of money, you can't necessarily buy it."
we have all been caught wet with that price.I have never even held 1 Continent Gold Coin, let alone a hundred.
finally we told Linze the origin of all these things without much thought, Linze immediately believed our story.it was because when he was injured, he knew how severe the injuries he had suffered, he said, but after waking up, he did not feel that there was anything wrong with his body, so he immediately believed in the story of the Moon Goddess.
we immediately packed up and packed up this portable house to immediately return to the city.until in the city we handed over the hunted to the adventurer guild, many adventurers were curious as to how we defeated the Ogre.
finally we recounted our meeting with the Moon Goddess girl.at first many did not believe and assumed that we were doing nonsense, but after a Magic Caster did a special magic they believed.
The Magic Caster could reflect the memories of others into a moving image on a wall (like a movie in a movie theater).in that picture, the, there was a silhouette of the floating girl who had a somewhat hazy appearance but was filled with charm. Behind the girl was a series of bright moons with soft light shining on the girl. in the silhouette the shadow of the girl's face was seen bright and beautiful eyes shared the starry sky.
although it was only a short image, but the image was so noble and beautiful. It glowed like a Goddess who carried the grace of a great moon.
finally everyone believed that we had met the Moon Goddess.The story of the Moon Goddess spread very quickly like a fire that burns dry grass in the dry season.either since when, when, when I return to the guild, many adventurers who enter the forest will put a crescent moon pendant around their necks as a talisman.
