The Land Of Thorns
Bad things part 5

Edgar was still trying to get out of the smoke towards where Lilia was, and the moment he saw Lilia, he let out a long breath and bowed to see the kind-looking Lilia - fine because the knife was stuck in the wall. It was almost true about him.

“Thank God the knife wasn't on target.”

Spontaneously the word came out Edgar said as he was adjusting his breath then he started crouching before Lilia. Edgar pulled out one of the knives and watched carefully.

‘A good luck or indeed he did this on purpose, but why?’

Edgar thought as he watched the knives stuck on the wall.

Behind him was a puff of smoke that began to thin thanks to a wind magic that Silvi exhaled, the wind made the smoke scattered out into all corners of the room until slowly the smoke was disappearing from the room.

At that moment also seen Roderic who stood upright parallel to the wall where he was leaning while lifting Celine who was raised so high with both hands,  it was seen that he closed his teeth tightly - tightly with his eyes wide open he looked back and forth until his eyes finally fell on Edgar. He started approaching her.

“Where is he? Have you guys beaten him?”

Roderic asked Edgar as he walked closer to him.

Edgar did not answer him immediately, but he turned to him with a clear frown on his forehead he showed and with his lips that looked pouty, Edgar began to say.

“I've asked you to tell Silvi that you should leave this place and bring Lilia!”

“No need to shout like that, previously I have told him what you asked him.”

Roderic's spontaneous speech stopped his steps, and as he said it was clear the air was coming out of his breath.

“Then why did Silvi even help me fight with that guy?”

“He insists on helping you, even if I prevent him but what can I do, fight like you I can't. But isn't it in the end we all managed to survive.”

Obviously Roderic who is now approaching him, trying to convince Edgar.

“Congratulations? More precisely almost. See it!”

Edgar pointed with a knife in his hand to point at the knife - a knife stuck in the wall, making Roderic come to see, he realized that it really looked so close to threatening Lilia's life.

“Oh lord! He's really lucky, is that really a knife?”

Roderic said suddenly - coming out of his mouth just like that, he seemed to be in disbelief seeing what was in front of him.

Hearing that made Edgar immediately look at it, with his hand holding the knife, he looked like he was sighing with his mouth open holding back not to say anything.

Roderic who saw Edgar watching him like that, made himself realize and immediately clamped his lips so tightly that they closed tightly. For a moment he was silent.

“Sorry, that's reflex.”

Roderic said briefly, he then clamped his own lips tightly.

 Edgar shook his head, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment. Edgar tried to calm down.

“At least you are right, as a result everything is still safe. Why can I still see the air coming out of your mouth? Does the magic not work?”

Edgar's lyrics on Roderic and at the same time Silvi ran towards the two of them as he finished removing the entire smoke in the room.

 “It seems not, I still feel the cold. I bet that the mysterious person also feels cold like me.”

“Why are you sure about it?”

“Stop your sword at me for a moment. Then try to touch the metal part of your sword.”

Roderic touched the sword with his finger and he pointed it towards Edgar's sword, making Edgar follow what he said, when he touched it Edgar only realized that the iron he touched was really so cold.

 Previously he did not feel that because he only held the sword hilt which was covered in animal skin so he did not feel that the sword was really cold.

“You are right, it feels so cold .. Then what does it have to do with that mysterious person feeling cold?”

“I saw when he threw the knife, the habit he had when throwing the knife he would definitely hold the metal part of the knife and throw it.”

“So you mean, because she's always like that she's getting cold in her hands.”

“Yes, if I were him. I don't want to go out in winter when it's snowy and touch metal equipment too often, it'll just break my hand later. Maybe that's his reason why he wasn't on target and he ran away from you guys.”

Obviously Roderic to Edgar who made Edgar support his chin, he was silent to think that, if what Roderic said if he felt the cold temperature of this room like snow then not only humans feel it, if what Roderic said if he felt the cold temperature of this room like snow then not only humans feel it, but also objects that do not contain magic will definitely feel it.

‘Thank God your friend survived, earlier I saw you look upset at Roderic, please don't blame him because I insisted on helping you.’

Silvi said in her mind when she touched Edgar's shoulder, then she crouched her head towards Edgar and looked at him while showing a sweet smile.

‘I just feel a little upset because I'm afraid they'll get hurt, that mysterious person is a hit man and I'm the target. I'm sure he certainly knows about Lilia and Celine and I don't want them involved.”

‘Sort of like he wants to kill you. Sorry I didn't know that.’

Silvi pouted and shook her head as she said that.

‘I don't blame you, so I ask you, can you help me get the two of them out of this place together with Roderic.’

Said Edgar in his instantaneous mind he looked around alternately looking towards those nearby.

Silvi momentarily silently did not reply, as Edgar was still watching the surroundings. Silvi got closer and when Edgar turned his head back he saw Silvi's face was right in front of him.

‘Then do you want to go alone to catch up with Ludi and Uncle who owns the store? What if you run into that killer again?’

Silvi who was still so close looked into Edgar's eyes.

‘According to Roderic his body may have reached the limit, because he is also an ordinary human who feels the cold temperature due to the magic reaction.’

While saying that Edgar tried to keep his face away, he felt uneasy seeing Silvi who had always been like that without the slightest embarrassment of doing so.

‘Alright, I'll take them out and after that I'll catch up with you to look for the wind spirit's heirloom. No problem?’

‘Nothing, I will still help you and see - see if I find the artifact, but looking for another remains a priority for me.’

Edgar says that while pushing Silvi away from him.

“We'll split up here. Is there any way to stop your device if I find it later Roderic?”

Said Edgar again who now looked up at Roderic who was still standing nearby.

“How to stop it it .. is not to use it.”

“Only that?”

“Yes, I made the tool resemble a necklace and all I can say is just don't make the necklace break, because it will make the magic energy more unstable and! Something unpleasant happened.”

It was obviously Roderic to them who made the two of them pay close attention and was instantly shocked when Roderic idled them.

Edgar stood up, then he was seen scratching the back of his head.

“The point is I just have to remove the tool from whoever is wearing it right.”

Hearing Edgar who seemed to understand the meaning of it made Roderic just nod his head agree.

“I leave them both to you, and I hope you don't get in trouble when you get out of this place.”

Edgar said to them. He saw the two of them answering together with a nod of their heads.

Edgar knows that they understand the situation especially Roderic who knows that he is only a burden when he sees Edgar and Silvi who previously fought with the assassin. Being alone will also make Edgar faster to find Ludi and the shop owner's uncle while trying to find the artifact.

They began to separate, Edgar quickly ran so fast towards the road that previously passed Ludi, and looked back to see those who also began to move towards the underground road.
