The Ice Line's

Chapter 32: Kivasta

For a while I had to rest in the city of Rossa after the Veratha army withdrew from the battle.

Inside the city of Rossa I watched as wounded soldiers were being treated. While I took the drinking water that was in my bag.

While I was drinking water from my bottle, there was a soldier approaching me.

I turned to look at the soldier, then the soldier said. “Thank you for helping us defend this city son and also the ice and water magic that you used earlier was amazing. May I know what your name is?”

“Kivasta Ekova Lanhamr,” Reply.

Everyone's gaze was instantly turned towards me as I revealed my name.

Like the citizens and soldiers who approached me, there were also some people in witch clothes who followed me....

“Eh, uh, uh what is this?” I asked when everyone was swarming around me.

“Are you really Kivasta who can use ice magic?!” Ask the woman dressed as a witch.

“Y-yes I am Kivasta.” I replied as I continued moving slowly avoiding them.

The people who were swarming at me got noisier the moment after I told my name.

“How can you master ice magic?!” Ask another witch.

I answered their questions and continued to move back slowly. “I don't know, since birth I already have this power.”

“Please teach us to use ice magic!” Said one of the men from the crowd in front of me.

I was trying to get away from the crowd that was getting more and more crowded and almost made me unable to escape.

Despite being away from the crowd, I was still chased by people and in the end I ran towards the group of soldiers. When I reached the group of soldiers, I stopped for a while and asked them not to tell my location. Then I teleported straight to the top of the defensive wall so as not to be seen by people....

The people who were chasing me earlier asked the group of soldiers below. Fortunately the soldiers did not tell me where I was.

“It looks pretty safe...,” said I feel a little relieved.

A soldier with a bow in his hand approached me. “What are you doing here son?” Ask the soldier.

I stood up and answered him immediately. “I Kivasta Ekova Lanhamr, was given a mission by his majesty king Ron through a contract to help against the Veratha empire,” I replied.

“So you're a kid who can use ice magic? Your name may have spread in some parts of Setavia, but of course people will not know your appearance if you have never met,” said the soldier in a relaxed tone.

It's a good thing he didn't suspect me and pulled his bow.... “Can you show me your ice magic?” Pinta the soldier.

“Good...” I agreed to it, but I was at a loss as to what technique.... I have an idea.

A moment later an ice arrow appeared on the bowstring. I just let go of my hand from the rope that made the ice arrow come out with a bright trail of ice tail.

The soldier who kept paying attention was quite amazed and started to believe. “Excellent, it seems like you don't have to worry if you run out of arrows...” Said the soldier while continuing to pay attention to the direction of the arrow.

Actually from the beginning of the mission I did not bring any arrows because my bag was filled with important items, indeed, and anyway if I can make arrows through the power of ice why do I still have to carry ordinary arrows? It will only be burdensome.

I remained on top of the defensive wall while looking at the sight of the sun about to set....

I heard someone calling my name from below, he told me to come down because there are people who want to see me.

I walked down through the stairs from the tower connected to the wall. While walking, I thought maybe the people who wanted to meet me were the people who used to swarm me.

When I was under I saw four strangers.... One of them with a crisp voice like a woman....

“Kiva!” Exclaim that man. It turns out that the one who called me was Chiva.... Waitaminute! Why is Chiva here?! And why are there also Rovka and Zhela?! What are they doing here?

I walked towards them. “Why are you here?” Askaqua.

“We are here to help you,” replied Chiva.

Helping me? Isn't this mission contract just me running it myself? Why did king Ron suddenly send them to help me? Well not that I refuse help, but I'm worried about the safety of their lives if I run my mission....

“Are you not happy?” Chiva asked like a worried person.

“Not that I am not happy, but I am worried that if your lives will be threatened what else you are nobles. Then the knight beside them retaliated. “They have received permission from his majesty Ron, although I myself am not sure of their competence and yours Reply to the knight. These people were always mocking us.

“Then what will you do yourself after this?” I asked the knight.

“I? I have my own duties...” Answer knights.

The knight turned around and walked away, but before that he said. “I don't have time for you guys, my last message is.... Don't let your majesty down..” After saying that the knight immediately went out of the city.... It looks like he's going back to Letonia.

At night I stood guard over the defensive walls, observing the outer areas of the city.

But I heard information from the archer soldiers on the eastern side of the city, that they saw a considerable movement of the Veratha forces from the attack on the southern side.

However, moments later the commander on the south side informed us that Veratha was carrying out an attack on the east side and we had to get there immediately.

Although it will take a long time, but I, Chiva, Rovka, and Zhela still go to the east side to help the defense. But the commander said to let Rovka and Zhela stay on the south side....

Chiva and I boarded our horse and headed to the south side....
