"He's looking for his own students? Sure enough—Ella has at least one teacher who's been nice to her."

"Your name is Shadow, right... I read Kraft's report, and I remember that you were Ella Williams' enemy?"

Shadow threw two cubes of sugar into the black tea and stirred it with a small silver spoon, enjoying the sweet smell.

She didn't seem to notice the pressure from Fred at all, and replied very relaxedly,

"Yes, but now... I really have no reason to be hostile to her."

Chapter 5 Wendel's White Rose

Ella was sitting in a spacious carriage. The environment inside the carriage was very delicate and elegant, and it was even more exquisite than the carriage that Ella had ridden before, which belonged to the Mephisto family.

The coachman, guards, and accompanying servants, the total number of this team is more than 30 people.

After escaping the snow pit, she accepts Lily Bell's invitation.

Lily's original words are as follows,

"You don't plan to go back to the village now, do you? Instead of wandering in the forest by yourself, you might as well be with us, so that you may be able to recall more things."

Ella had no reason to refuse, but she had doubts about the invitation itself,

"But why did you invite me? Where are you going?"

"Our destination is Wendell, the city of winter. The brightest day of the Purple Frost Sand Moon is the Snow King's birthday. There will be a grand celebration in Wendell, and there are still seven days before that night."

"Ella, are you a magician? Hiring you should be a good choice. If you want, I can attach a price that satisfies you. And I did get your help in that snow pit. At least I should send you to the city in return."

Lily's proposal is very attractive to Ella, whether it is Snow Country or Winter City Wendell, they are all names that Ella has never heard of.

But there must be traffic and more information in the city, so she at least has a chance to find out what this place is and use it to find a way back.

Ella and Lily were sitting on either side of the carriage at this time. Through the crystal window, they could see the scene outside, and the strange purple moonlight shone on the ground through the gaps between the treetops.

In Kraft's library, Ella has read myths from various places, records left by wizards, or knowledge researched by ordinary people called science by the outside world.

But either way, no such scene has been described.

Perhaps in some astronomical records, two moons appeared in the sky at the same time. Scholars interpreted it as refraction of light similar to a rainbow, while wizards believed that it was a short-lived spectacle caused by the overlapping of the material world and other worlds.

But no matter what they are, the number of them is far smaller than that seen by Ella, and it is only a very short and occasional scene.

But according to Lily Bell, it is common knowledge that there are seven moons in the sky, and they shift every sixty days, during which time one of the moons will illuminate the night sky, while the other six can only be seen Distant and vague shadows.

After sixty days, their positions change again, and the moonlight takes on another color.

There is only one exception among them, and that is the seventh round at the end.

It is the dullest color and never becomes the main color, it seems to be just a superfluous decoration.

The sound of knocking on the glass came, and the bumping of the carriage subsided, and Erich appeared on the side of the carriage on horseback.

"Miss Lily, I can't reach the nearest town today. We found a cave where we can camp."

"How could such a thing happen? Isn't the itinerary already planned?"

Ashley's eyes dodged a little, but sweat was dripping from her forehead despite the cold wind and snow, and she swallowed back what she was going to say.

"that......"

Lily seemed to understand something, and she changed the topic with a slightly embarrassed expression.

According to the original plan, they could indeed reach the town before dark, but Ashley wasted a lot of time searching for Lily.

The clouds in the distance were hung up by the strong wind, the light in the mountains and forests became dim, and the surrounding temperature began to drop. Judging from this, it may not be long before it will start snowing again.

The space in the cave is a bit short, and it is very difficult to squeeze the entire carriage in, but fortunately, those tall snow-white horses don't seem to be afraid of the cold.

"Let's go to the fire, it's too stuffy in the carriage."

Holding Ashley's hand, Lily left the carriage first.

To be honest, Ella didn't really want to move in this weather, because it was much warmer inside the carriage than outside.

She wrapped her woolen coat tightly and followed Lily into the snow field, the thick snow made a soft crunching sound under her feet.

The accompanying guards and coachmen had set up firewood and iron pots scattered in the cave, but the flint and yellow phosphorus had been somewhat damp during the journey, and it was difficult to start a fire.

After retrieving the memory, it is not difficult for Ella to generate flames. This is one of the magics she is most familiar with, and it can be used even in this situation.

She snapped her fingers several times in a row, letting the flames that contained some magic power and were not easy to extinguish float around her, and with the movements of her fingers, she lit the bonfires one by one.

There were scattered cheers from the crowd, but it was a little strange that, although they were somewhat surprised, magic didn't seem to be too unusual for them.

Once again, this contradicts Ella's common sense.

She leaned back in the corner of the cave where some grass had been paved, and put her hands close to the campfire to dispel the cold and stiffness of her body.

"Sure enough, it was the right choice to bring you along."

Ashley appeared next to Ella and handed her a small tin pot and dried meat.

"Drinking it will make you feel warmer."

Ella pulled out the cork curiously, took a tentative sip of the liquid in the jug, and a pungent burning sensation flowed into her throat.

She couldn't help coughing a few times, but then she felt an incredible heat flow from her body.

The jug should be some kind of high-concentration distilled alcohol. Ella had been exposed to much softer things before, so she only drank a little, and her face turned a little red.

Ella handed the jug back to Ashley without saying a word, and then was attracted by the singing.

Lily Bell sat on a rock near the crowd, humming some strange melody,

"Wendel has a white rose,

How I longed to see it.

No one can ever forget her,

But they miss me less than half

......

You can talk about your clementines,

And praise to your Rosalie,

But the white roses of Wendel,

But will always be my favourite.

When the north wind dies down, and the frost and sand are bright,

She blooms alone beside the floes and snow..."

The entourage and coachmen listened quietly, echoed at the end, and poured their own high-strength distilled wine.

Ella is a little fascinated, Lily's voice is unique and sweet, and it seems to contain some kind of emotion that has nothing to do with the lyrics themselves.

Ella decided it was some kind of nostalgia, but it didn't feel right.

"Is Wendell Lily's hometown?"

"...You can say the same thing."

"We are probably colleagues? Let's get to know each other again. I am Ashley Chevalier - a knight."

"Ella Williams."

Are knights...

Ella thought, she felt the word almost written on Ashley's face.

This is a bit strange. In Ella's impression, it is already a term in history. Maybe some gentlemen jokingly call themselves knights, but Ashley gives people a completely different feeling.

Ella was about to hold Ashley's outstretched hand, but just as she touched it, the eyes of the two turned to the outside of the cave at the same time,

There was a panicked neighing of horses.

Chapter 6 Wolves

"what happened?"

Ashley stepped forward quickly, and the driver was trying to calm the horses.Foam was seeping from the horse's mouth, and it was desperately trying to break free from the rein, acting extremely flustered.

"Your Excellency Chevalier, there seems to be something in the woods!"

The chilly wind was blowing towards the cave, and the bonfire was blown flickeringly by the wind, the sky became darker and the snow fell harder.

The followers and guards around the campfire got up from the ground one after another, setting up crossbow bolts and spears.

"Ashley, what's the matter?"

Lily Bell jumped off the rock,

"It's a disappointment. I'm afraid it's a pack of wolves."

The female knight looked at the shadow of the forest, her brows slowly wrinkled,

"There's something wrong...the red moon hasn't appeared yet, and now shouldn't be the time when wild beasts are active."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone could smell a faint fishy smell from the depths of the mountain forest, which was the unique smell of beasts.

"Master Lily, please stay by my side and don't leave."

Ashley Chevalier drew her sword, and a change in her address to Lily meant the matter was serious.

But then she smiled reassuringly,

"Don't worry too much, most wild animals are afraid of fire, and we also brought bows and arrows,"

Dense green light spots appear between the trees like fireflies.

A ball of light was generated in Ayla's hands and floated upwards, illuminating a small area.
