Yelena's mother finally said carefully and vigilantly.

"Don't worry, Mom." Aslan nodded, thinking to himself, "It's good that they didn't get fooled by me. Just like that sister Ellie."

The truth was just as Aslan had thought.

Sister Airi, with white hair and red eyes, was thinking about Aslan after she got home from get off work. Although she tried hard to force herself not to think about him, the harder she tried, the more she failed.

"What's wrong with me?" She couldn't help but mutter, "That kind of thing is obviously not allowed, why do I have to think so much about it..."

This kind of crazy thinking made the elder sister feel ashamed, and she felt that she was a bad woman who was not faithful to her husband. Her daughter was obviously in her teens, but she was still thinking about the handsome boy outside. She even dreamed about him at night. In the dream, she did shameful things with Aslan.

"I'm dreaming..." She couldn't help but mutter. At the same time, her daughter, who inherited her beauty, woke up rubbing her eyes and asked curiously, "Mom, what's so big?"

Mrs. Ellie blushed as she saw her daughter's innocent look. Fortunately, it was dark and she couldn't see clearly.

"Nothing, go to sleep. You have to go to school tomorrow."

"Oh." The daughter nodded, then snuggled in her mother's arms, her hands subconsciously around her mother's waist, leaning in her mother's arms, making Mrs. Ai Li couldn't help but think of the beautiful boy during the day again.

It is obviously contact, but the physical contact with my daughter does not give me that kind of heart-stirring feeling.

"Why? Is it really because of...that reason?"

Thinking of this, the elder sister felt a little ashamed. She was already old and this was really not right.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep, you won't think so much when you fall asleep."

"..."

"Mother?"

Seeing her mother suddenly propping herself up and half sitting up, the cute little girl with white hair and red eyes looked at her mother with curiosity, and vaguely seemed to see a shy look on her mother's face. Suddenly, she felt a little puzzled.

"Wait a moment, mom is going to the bathroom first."

……

……

"hateful."

She thought about it again and couldn't help feeling a little jealous of that woman - Eliza.

Chapter 14 On the Sled

Time goes back seven hours, and the camera switches to the direction of Aslan and Eliza.

Soon after leaving Dongzhi Port, the reality of the North Territory appeared before them. It was a vast expanse of barren snowy plains. Dead trees and weeds were covered with a thick layer of snow.

Except for the road leading to the north and the banks of the Frozen River, where there are occasional traces of human figures, the rest of the place is deserted.

It was clearly the warm early summer in Aslan's hometown, in the river valley, with green grass and trees, but in the northern region, it was an endless world of ice and snow.

"Master..."

It was still okay in Winter Solstice Harbor, but when she was outside the city and saw this scene, Eliza became somewhat timid.

If a normal person stays in a narrow and cramped place for a long time, it will trigger claustrophobia.

Dark elves, who have lived in the narrow underdark all year round, would develop agoraphobia when they come to such an overly empty place where the sky and the earth are the same color.

"Okay, let's go."

Just when Eliza couldn't help but flinch, Aslan hugged her waist. Then he carried the petite dark elf maid to the sled, sat behind her, and then wrapped a felt blanket around her and himself. He flicked the reins, and the two two-and-a-half-meter-tall reindeer, one of the unique means of transportation for the people of the Northern Territory, snorted and slowly pulled the sled forward.

Although Aunt Yelena did not participate in the adventure, she did not treat Aslan badly in terms of the reserve fund. At the same time, the perfect and chic maid also handled the matter properly and purchased all the equipment necessary for the expedition to the North.

In addition to the reindeer sled, a very characteristic means of transportation in the Northern Territory, there are also two sets of skis in Aslan's space ring.

As for daily necessities, in addition to food and fresh water, there is also a lot of grass and concentrated feed for the reindeer, enough for two reindeer to run from the Winter Solstice Port to the commercial city-state "Giant's Foot".

……

The sled was on the road, and Aslan held her in his arms, wrapping her whole body in a blanket. The nervousness of the maid gradually disappeared, and the feeling of novelty and excitement gradually increased.

Feeling the comfort of being held in Aslan's arms, Eliza couldn't help but chuckle: "This way, I really become a personal maid~"

Yes, indeed, wrapped in a blanket, so that nothing could be seen from the outside, but inside Aslan and Eliza lay pressed together. She sat in Aslan's arms.

"Dishonest and scumbag maid." Aslan was furious, but he criticized her seriously. But the maid was not afraid at all. She retorted: "You are still talking about me~ Isn't the young master the same?"

"How dare you talk back."

The force was not strong, but it made Eliza's eyes watery.

……

More than half an hour later.

"Master~"

The maid who had been playing with Aslan for a while wanted to continue eating, but Aslan stopped her: "After all, we are in the wild. What should we do if we encounter danger?"

"Ok."

Eliza, who had been taught this lesson, reluctantly finished cleaning up, then leaned back into Aslan's arms and sat forward.

The white snow all over the sky looks like a fairy tale at first glance, but it will become boring and irritating to the eyes if you look at it for a long time.

But the perfect and chic maid had anticipated this. When she first left the city, she took out two pairs of black glasses from her space ring, similar in style to the snow glasses on Earth, and gave one to the young master and wore one herself.

"How far are we from Solstice Harbor?"

As the sun gradually set, the maid in his arms asked this.

"It took several hours, about sixty or seventy miles," Aslan replied.

"I didn't see many people along the way. It's as if the young master and I are the only two people in the world." The maid said with a little happiness and pride. Maybe if it really turned out like that, it wouldn't be a bad thing for her.

Outside the Winter Solstice Harbor, it was just as she said, although she and Aslan took the main road, which led to the Foot of the Northern Giant, one of the busiest trade routes in the North. But they didn't see many dog ​​sleds on the frozen river or reindeer sleds on the snow.

"It's probably because it's afternoon." Aslan continued, "Most caravans set out in the early morning, and few leave in the afternoon."

"That's right." The maid nodded: "It's getting late, do you want to stop and rest?"

"um, yes."

Aslan replied, then pulled the reins, and the reindeer stopped obediently. But at the same time, Eliza also heard something wrong in Aslan's words, and immediately became alert.

With this alert, he discovered something was wrong at the fastest speed—

There is an ambush behind the rocks not far ahead.

Chapter 15 Major Events in Life

If Aslan did not stop the sled here, but continued to move forward, he would definitely be attacked by the enemies behind the boulder. That would be bad.

Fortunately, both Aslan and Eliza were sufficiently vigilant - of course at the same time, the hints given by Aslan's destiny entry system also helped a little.

As long as he keeps moving forward, Aslan can change the fate of many people or monsters - killing the opponent in advance is also changing his fate.

"What kind of enemy is it?" Eliza turned over and nimbly jumped off the sled, as if she was not wearing a maid's skirt and apron. "Is it the Gray Goblin, the Frostthroat Orc, the White-scaled Lizardman, or just some ordinary Icefield Bandits?"

The four possibilities mentioned by the maid are the four most common wild monsters in the Northern Territory.

Live by the mountain, live by the mountain; live by the water, live by the water. In such a harsh natural environment in the North, although the goblins and orcs would try to raise long-haired cattle, moose and the like, the white-scaled lizardmen relied more on fishing and hunting for a living.

However, if you want to escape a life of hunger and starvation, robbery is still the fastest way to get rid of it.

In the ice and snow, tribes plundered each other, and gangs plundered each other. In most cases, they guarded the trade route from Winter Solstice Port to Giant's Foot, constantly plundering passers-by and merchants.

This is the most prosperous trade route in the Northern Territory.

In the north, at the end of the trade route, the Frost Giant Kingdom located in the Giant Mountains and the Dwarf Clan [Frost Forge] both have sufficient productivity.

They either did it themselves or drove slaves to chisel through rocks and dig out countless precious minerals.

Except for a few kept for their own use, most of them will be sold in the nearby commercial city-state [Giant's Foot] and exchanged for daily necessities with caravans coming from afar.

What the dwarves and giants needed was food, which they could not provide for themselves, as well as salt and cloth.

Tea from the Far East has become a hot commodity recently, and giants and dwarves use it to make up for their vitamin deficiencies.

This prosperous trade route not only supported many caravans in the Northern Territory, but also attracted a large number of monsters and human robbers.

They are like bloodthirsty parasites, lying on the trade routes and robbing passing caravans for a living.

Under such circumstances, the Merchant Guilds, Frost Giants, Dwarves and commercial city-states in the Northern Territory are all willing to offer rewards to attract adventurers to clear out all monster tribes and human gangs along the trade routes.

Merchants and city-states did not seek to clear them all, but only to keep them within a certain number so as not to cause too much trouble.

……

"Whatever it is, we are here to do business."

Aslan responded to the head maid's words like this, his expression did not change much, but deep down he was more excited than Eliza.

After all, this was his first real fight since crossing into this world. The feeling of chopping a real person was definitely different from the feeling of chopping a wood pile or a haystack.

With this in mind, Aslan, under the flank cover of Eliza, summoned his pair of swords and walked towards the boulder with steady steps.

At this moment, the bandits hiding behind the huge rock certainly realized that they were discovered, and immediately came out cursing without hesitation.

This is a group of human bandits. They are dressed in rough clothes, with weather-beaten skin and faces. You can tell at first glance that they are ferocious and vicious guys. Each of them holds a sword or an axe in his hand, except for two who hold bows.

The guy walking in front of them and who was the most conspicuous was a strong man who was shirtless in the snow and only wore a pair of fur shorts on the lower body. He was not afraid of cold legs and water in the knee joints at all.

Aslan is quite tall, but in front of this guy, he seems a little short.

This man was over two meters tall, with muscular body, smeared with paint, a shiny bald head, and scars all over his face and body. Everything proved that he was a northern barbarian, a strong warrior who was stronger and more brutal than normal humans and lived in a tribal system.

[Scarface Allen]: After killing his brother for a bite of food, he was exiled by the tribe and soon formed a gang, earning the nickname Scarface. In the future, he will become a general under the bandit king Kate Rod. Killing him now can gain 5 destiny points.

The entry system lost no time in passing the barbarian's information to Aslan.

"Five destiny points, no big deal."

Aslan's eyes flickered and he thought so.

At the same time, the leader of the robbers on the opposite side also looked at Aslan. Then he showed a somewhat disappointed expression: "I waited for so long, and only two adventurers showed up. How unlucky." He waved his hand, along with the double-edged axe in his hand: "Before I change my mind--" The next second, Eliza's flying knife pierced his face. Then he dodged it by turning his head.

Behind him came the screams of the gangsters, which made the barbarian's expression ugly.

He roared and rushed towards Aslan and Eliza. At the same time, Aslan raised his right hand, and dozens of ice blades in the shape of long knives suddenly condensed in the air and blasted towards the scarred gangster.

With the dual effects of climate and terrain, the number and lethality of the ice knives summoned by Aslan increased significantly.

"Mage!"

"not good!"

"Quickly retreat!!"

Although it was strange that the wizard on the other side was holding a sword and did not recite any spells when casting spells, now was not the time to worry about it.

Almost all of Scarface's minions chose to turn around and run away, but a few brave ones still roared and charged forward - they had full confidence in their boss. They thought that as long as Scarface launched a charge, everything would be fine.

But it's useless.

Whether they were running away or charging, except for the scarred barbarian, everyone was equal under the ice blade flying knife. Most of the bandits were pierced through the chest and vest, their heads were cut off, their limbs were cut off, and they fell to the ground wailing.

As for the guys who ran far enough and were agile enough, Aslan would shoot at them on impulse. The flying knives that had been dodged broke into countless sharp slices in mid-air, and under the blowing of the strong wind, they cut the two unlucky guys into pieces, causing flesh and blood to fly all over the place, as if they were being tortured by slow slicing.

Only Scarface Allen, the strong barbarian warrior, accurately blocked all the ice blades shot at him with his giant axe, as well as the silver flying knives shot at him by the head maid Eliza. He rushed to Aslan in one breath, then raised his axe and chopped Aslan's head and face - and then, his battle axe made of fine iron was blocked by Aslan's double blades, and the huge force made Aslan retreat half a step. At the same time, Eliza turned around and drew out her dagger, stabbing Scarface Allen in the back.

Attacked from both sides, the barbarian warrior ignored the fatal dagger behind him and raised his axe again, as if he was going to die with Aslan.

But - before that - another ice blade suddenly appeared half-suspended in the air beside Aslan.

Alan: “!!!!!!!!”

In great astonishment and unwillingness, the dagger behind him and the ice blade in midair hit his back and carotid artery respectively. The barbarian warrior roared to the sky, his hand loosened, the battle axe fell, and he barely moved forward two steps, but finally fell to the snow with a "thump" and did not move.

Chapter 16: Rewards after victory

"He has a lot of vitality." Looking at the barbarian warrior lying on the ground, his body still twitching slightly, Eliza commented: "He is indeed a barbarian."

As she sighed like this, Aslan took a long breath, prepared to calm down, and then think about what to add.

But it was difficult. His body had produced excessive amounts of adrenaline due to the intense battle and the huge stimulation, so his mind was still in an excited state. This excitement could not be suppressed in a short period of time.

Eliza: "Well, well~ Now, it's time for me to do my part~" Just by looking into Aslan's eyes, Eliza understood the situation without her master saying much.

The black-haired dark elf showed a happy, even gentle smile, and came in front of Aslan, stretched out her hand, and stroked the boy's face: "I know how to comfort the young master in a woman's way~"

Then, next, in the snow and wind of the northern region, a cozy little villa suddenly appeared.

This is also a small gift that Yelena prepared for Aslan. An extremely expensive magic ring that can cast the "Mansion Spell" three times a day. It allows Aslan to have a good rest at any time when he is tired from the journey.
