Chapter 55 - Interesting to have black hair?

Viga Calendar, 33rd Age of Miphan, 1103. Year, 2nd Month, 9th Day

Viny suddenly felt cold. Everywhere was white. He felt as if he was naked, wearing leather armor and leather shoes. Cold virtue had begun to penetrate Viny's body within seconds. Presumably the air was colder than -40 ° C. The sun was high and there were flat plains and hills covered with snow as far as the eye could see, and there was not a single tree as far as he could see.

Since his reflexes were above normal human level, he could see up to 20 km. About 2 km away, two people were walking in furs. Realizing that he was standing on a path, presumably paved by the locals. Viny decided to run to temporarily overcome the cold. He ran towards where the two people were. The group of two was worried as they saw him running towards them. One of them drew the sword from its sheath and took a defensive position in front of the other. Viny saw that they were both women when they were less than a hundred yards apart.

The woman holding the sword called out loud to Viny "Why are you running towards us?"

Viny approached slowly and requested "I've lost my way. And I am very cold, I also need to find something to wear. That's why I wanted to run towards the first person I saw and ask for directions to the nearest town."

Amos didn't put any winter wear, so in this cold, Viny had nothing to cover himself. He was visibly trembling. The woman who drew sword couldn't understand how a human can still stand alive with this much dress. He was like out of this place.

"Then don't come any closer!" She insisted, pointing in the direction from which she came with her sharp sword "There is Ritwoon City about a hundred thousand steps away. But by the time you get there with these thin clothes, you will probably freeze to death."

The woman holding the sword glanced at Viny for a while, then pointed to the hills visible about two kilometres away "Behind that hill, there are the Melemon Creatures. Usually they travel in groups of five. Because their colour is the same as snow, you cannot distinguish whether they are snow or Melemon until you get close to a hundred meters. We came here to hunt Melemon. My young lady Yaune needs to take a bath with Melemon blood. So, after killing the first group of Melemones, I will give you their skins. You can use the Melemon furs to wrap yourself, and then you have to head straight to town because we won't let you stay with us any longer than that. What do you think?"

Viny was surprised at the idea of bathing in blood. Do these people with pink skin and red hair always bathe with blood? Couldn't they get water when there was snow on the ground? He remembered that he was about to freeze after the different ideas formed in his mind and approached the women in a hurry and pleaded "Okay, can we hurry? I'm about to freeze. By the way, my name is Viny, what's your name?"

After looking at Viny for a moment "I'm Gune! Viny tell me why your hair is this colour. You are very interesting."

Viny never thought it might be interesting to have black hair. He mumbled that everyone here should have had got red hairs. Viny found the pink-skinned girls interesting and studied them secretly. According to his estimation, Yaune was a beautiful woman, aged 18-19, with black eye colors at Viny's shoulder-length. Gune, on the other hand, was about 28-29 years old and about the same height as Viny. Gune's eyes, on the other hand, were green. Gune's athletic character was more attractive to Viny.

Yaune glared at Viny occasionally. She seemed both curious and distant. Gune had guessed that Viny was coming from far away and was wondering how he got here.

"Gune, nice to meet you. To me, you are also an interesting person, especially when there is nothing but snow around." Yaune couldn't stand it and started laughing. Gune, on the other hand, after shaking her eyelids, looked the other way, pretended to be angry "Huh, well then go hunt your melemonies yourself."

Viny shivered after a little walk "I think I'm about to freeze."

After he informed, he drew his sword and started running. After running for 5 minutes, he saw the first melemon. All 4 melemons see Viny at the same time. Melemons are human-sized, 4-legged creatures with fluffy feathers. These animals with horns on their backs move very slowly.

Viny attacked the closest melemon with his sword, using the hurling Bikan swing technique. As the first melemon to receive a sword strike from its neck began to die on the ground, the other melemons slowly began to move towards Viny and wanted to attack him. But Viny quickly took out a knife from his bag after killing three other melemons. Melemones are creatures that normally have good reflexes and can even be at the same speed as humans. When melemones, which were a carnivore species, couldn't be fed for a long time, their body energy decreased, and they started to move more slowly.

While trying to quickly remove the fur, Viny suddenly heard a sound like a thump from behind. Viny, who rolled over as a reflex, lifted his head. He saw that Gune killed the last Melemon of this five-animal pack.

"Hey free spirit, I think cold weather hit your head?"

Viny is not in a mood to laugh at Gune's joke. He was trying with all his might to skin the animals. Unable to withstand the extreme cold any longer, Viny lost consciousness and collapsed onto the prey he was trying to skin. Viny's eyelids are heavy and he is about to fall asleep. When Gune saw Viny fall, she immediately rushed to Viny and dressed Viny with the fur on her. She slapped him in the face so that he would not lose consciousness. Viny recovered from the painful sensation as his lip burst.

Gune, who started to be affected by the cold, quickly skinned one Melemon and gave it to Viny and took the fur she had given before and put it on herself. Then she skinned two more melemon furs and gave them to Viny as well. Viny was slowly warming up with furs, while he could not stand and vomited several times due to the smell of blood.

'What a flimsy man is this guy. How did he come here without freezing and he froze here next to us? At first, I thought he was acting, but apparently it wasn't like that.' Gune callously calls out to Viny "We're leaving. I don't want to see you around my young lady. Do you understand me!"

Viny was not able to speak loudly. Gune and Yaune had already walked away as he tried to say "Tha .. Than-k .. Thank y-o-u!" in a low voice.

'Damn it. Who said the mission would be at 30 ° C? What a careless idiot I am.' Viny murmured and insulted himself.

After Viny's body temperature finally adapted to the slightly cold weather, he set out for Ritwoon City. It was getting dark and a cold blizzard started. Viny had to speed up. Meanwhile, noises began to come from his stomach. Remembering that he hadn't eaten for hours, Viny pulled some food out of his space-ring and continued eating as he walked without a break. When the blizzard intensified, he devoured the burger, which he could finish in three bites, in one bite, and then started running towards the city.

'I need to take nice clothes that are resistant to cold. And drinks to keep you warm in the cold. It would be great if I put a portable cooker or something in the space-ring. Hmm it's getting colder. It's almost night. Wow. Look at the walls!'

Darkness fell everywhere in the city surrounded by high walls like the Topkapı Walls. "This city has a lighting problem." Fifteen minutes after dark, Viny, who came in front of the city walls, could not see anyone due to the severe type of air.

"Is there anyone?" shouted Viny. The blizzard had increased its intensity. The city gate was closed. He could not make his voice heard. 'Damn, I'll die in this stupid world. If it goes like this. Deciding to take the ring out of his bag and put it on his finger, Viny admitted that he would fail in this mission. He cried one last time, sighing for hope. "Is there anybody, uh?"

"Haha ... stupid, who can hear you in this cold blizzard!" There was a melodious laughter like a nightingale. She came towards the door while mocking Viny. Turning towards the voice, he saw the two ladies he met today. Looking at Yaune, Viny thought he was going to see a bloody human silhouette, but instead found a lady whose skin was clean like red velvet and smelling like flowers.

While Viny were thinking "Wouldn't this girl be washed with blood?", Gune took the stones from the ground and hit them on iron mallets. The door began to open after the high-pitched and heavy iron sound spread around five times. Ten soldiers led by the captain of guards opened the door.
