Chapter 132 (2/2)
“Do you want me to saddle you up?”
As she nodded, the stableman quickly put a saddle on Rem’s back Max was handed a rein and led Rerabbed her and sat her on the horse
“The wind is cold, so don’t go too fast today”
Then he juate Max looked as excited as she chased after hi a horse to the hill with hi hard Max rode the horse cheerfully, feeling his depressedup
“t-the lake, uh, where is it?”
“It’s just a little west along this road”
Earlier, Riftan, who stepped out of the gate, pointed to a winding forest path The narrow road, which is lined with bare trees from side to side, seemed difficult to ride a horse
Max hesitated a little, then carefully drove the Rem onto the bumpy road, where the roots of the trees were intertwined Whether her riding practice has been fruitful, she was able to stay stable Riftan sht
“You’ve become much better than before”
“I- I’ve been practicing”
“I’m proud you, of course”
Max blushed at the praise he would give to the little boy Riftan carefully watched howher well and soon beca to his horse’s tail and ran out of the narrow road
How long would it have gone so far, the road got wider and wider, and soon a huge silver-lit lake appeared Max looked down the open hill and exclaimed A reddish-brown peak and a blue sky were clearly reflected on the mirror-like round lake
Around the water, pines pointed like spears rose densely like fences, and the dense branches were thickly covered with pine needles that looked black Max s time Winter birds and wild animals that calance
As Riftan dragged his horse close to the surface, the stag which was poking his head out from behind the bushes, ran away like the wind Surprised by the sound, birds flapped up and the forest becaht have frozen, but it’s fine”
He kicked Talon’s waist lightly and approached the lake Max chased and asked in a surprised tone
“t-this big lake… Oh, it’s freezing?”
“In the north, even a bigger lake freezes in winter You can walk through it”
At Riftan’s words, Max opened her eyes wide as if she could not believe it
All she saas a thin layer of ice on a bucket of water outside in the cold winter She couldn’t ilared suspiciously at hi fun of her who didn’t know the world
“Uh, h-how can I walk on a lake? The ice could break and fall into the water”
“So”
Riftan replied as if he were telling a trivial fact Max frowned and shook her head in a ridiculous way
“Well, then i-if you go up there, oh, you can’t”
“If you ht, it’s no problem if you move It’s much colder in the north than here, so ice doesn’t break unless there’s a big animal like Hydra underneath it”
Max opened her eyes wide at the words that seemed to have experience
“Ri-Riftan, did you walk on the lake?”
“Not a lake, but I’ve crossed soic in Balto, and I walked for three days on a giant frozen glacier to pass through the Tranoia Plateau”
“What’s rain glacier…?”
“A chunk of ice bigger than that ain, Max had a dis has he experienced in his 28 years of life?’ The most ferocious and powerful deh the ice bigger than the inable for Max, who had lived her entire life in her father’s castle and moved to Anatol, which was all she had experienced in her life How colorful and nificent the world is perceived by Riftan He felt like a co with organizing the house of Calypse and learning a healing ic
“Rif-Riftan, all seven countries… Have you been there?”
“I’ve never been to Arex and Suikan When I joined the mercenaries, I moved to Rivadon and spent about two years there I was co up to Balto… I made a lot of ht it was not a place to live I stayed in the capital of Osiria for about a month or three to attend a swordsmanshi+p competition hosted by the Central Tehts”
He tilted his head slightly as if he were re about the past and cal hohted, I spent most of my time in Anatol and Dristan”
