Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 939 Travelling With Edvimar


After the healers had dressed up all of Edvimar's wounds, since there was something that was hindering any sort of healing on his body, they left the tent.

"How are you feeling right now?" I asked, making my way into the tent.

Seeing the bandaged Edvimar, I couldn't help but imagine a mummy. Despite their powers with healing, the healers weren't used to dressing wounds up manually. They've been relying on spells this entire time so when it came to wounds like this, they were a little inexperienced.

"I'm feeling good now. Thank you for your help." Edvimar nodded his head as he tried to stand up but struggled.

Shaking my head, I forced him to lay back down.

"I know your desperate right now but you don't know where your wife is, you don't know where this watchman is and you're body is in shambles right now. The healers aren't able to heal you so you have to recover naturally. If you force yourself, you might die from your own injuries before seeing your wife. Is that what you want?" I asked, clearly understanding that this man wanted to search for his wife as soon as possible but he was in no shape to go out.

Hearing this, I saw Edvimar bit his lower lip before sighing.

"I'll be troubling you then." He bowed his head but I quickly stopped him.

"Don't worry about it. In this kind of dangerous world, people can't forget about helping others." I shook my head.

Even though the last group had betrayed us and took all of our stuff, I still can't stop myself from helping people if I see them surviving in the wild. Most of it was pity but that's ok. I didn't want to lose this part of me like many others who now only know how to kill.

"I doubt you'll want to stay at a settlement so how about you travel with us? We're currently making our way to the north. Who knows, we might hear some rumours that are linked to your wife." I suggested.

Thinking about it for a moment, Edvimar nodded his head.

"I'll take you up on your offer then. I'm generally good with combat. Even with my body like this, I should be able to kill a few tier 5's without any trouble." Edvimar replied.

"So do you know what happened to Miriel? Or the Elven Continent?" He asked.

Remembering some news that I had heard before this new age began, I tried my best to explain what I had seen.

"Apparently, the city of Miriel had been abandoned. There was no one in the city at all but some that remained spoke of a giant floating fortress that a goddess had created. A few rejected the thought of leaving since Miriel had been their home for a long time. The same kind of situation appeared in a small part of Tokyo when the Rising Sun faction disappeared. Other places to note would be Asakura city I think it was called? Along with the headquarters of the Winter's Grace." I replied since it was the headline for a while on the news. For a city's residents to just disappear like that was quite abnormal after all. It would be hard to forget this kind of news.

"It's been abandoned? A giant floating fortress that a goddess had created? Hmm…" Furrowing his brows, Edvimar seemed to be trying to remember something when he looked at me.

"Is it possible that the one who created the city is called Nytri?" Edvimar asked.

"Nytri? I'm afraid that name is unfamiliar. It was created by someone who's name began with Shi but I don't quite remember it." I shook my head.

"Shi… Hmm maybe her name changed like what happened to Isilia. At least she's in safe hands. Knowing her, she would have looked for Nytri once the world showed some abnormalities." Edvimar sighed, looking relieved.

"Looks like you've sorted out some of your worries." I chuckled as he nodded his head.

"Where do you think you'll find your wife then? We're a bunch of wandering vagabonds so we can travel anywhere. We'll have to drop off this set of survivors first of course." I asked.

"Hmm… probably towards the north. There should be a relic appearing there soon. Very few know about it but it is quite dangerous. Speaking of which, are you aligned with any of the queens?" He asked.

"Nope. If I was, I wouldn't be a vagabond now would I?" I joked.

"That's good. Most of the Queen's aren't trust worthy, don't risk it. You don't know their goal after all. Plus, the system is hiding a lot of things from us." He shook his head.

I was a little surprised to see someone with the same thoughts as me but it was understandable considering the fact that world has changed thanks to this 'tutorial' of the system ending.

"Speaking of the system, how come I can't inspect you? It's almost like you've detached yourself." I asked curiously.

"Mn… I'll tell you later if you want. Since sometimes knowing something can be a curse." Edvimar nodded.

"Sure, tell me when you're comfortable about it then." I smiled. Leaving the tent for a little bit, I went to make a bit of food with the rations we have.

Noticing Nitha to the side, I waved towards her as she looked at the tent fearfully before coming to my side.

"Why are you so afraid? Edvimar seems rather kind right now." I chuckled. Of course, I still had my guard up in case anything happened since you can't trust everything people say these days but I won't treat him badly just because of that.

However, hearing what I had said, Nitha smacked me on the head before pointing at the tent in a panic. She seemed to be lecturing me but I didn't understand anything she had said.

Seeing the confusion on my face, Nitha hissed in anger before going up to the trees beside the camp and cut it down with her claws.

Huffing in anger, she glared at me before going deeper into the forest.

Scratching my head, I can hear the sound of wood being split apart as I made a mental note to have one of our mages repair the forest once Nitha was done.

But I don't understand why she was angry considering the fact that Edvimar was heavily injured.

'Was he someone strong?' I thought to myself before standing back up.

###

After we dropped off the survivors to the closest settlement, we started to make our way towards the far north at the request of Edvimar.

The party was a little on guard against him but since Eric and Lyle are rather close after a few days of travel, the others started to open up.

Despite his injuries, he was a good sparring partner for Gordon. I could somewhat understand Nitha's fear now since even when he was injured, he could still defeat Gordon with minimal movements while giving tips every now and again. He was even able to give tips regarding magic.

According to him, it was his wife that taught him all the knowledge about magic. While he didn't use it often, it was handy in a fight if you could throw your opponent off guard.

Originally, I was joking with Gordon saying that he was losing to an injured man when he challenged me to do the same. I'll admit, standing before the injured Edvimar was bloody terrifying. Despite his injured state and bandaged body, it felt like a single wrong move would end me.

Should I be his enemy on a battlefield, there would probably be a 0% chance of me surviving.

But since we're just sparring, I took the initiative. And of course, I was defeated in a few simple moves.

Nitha was still fearful of Edvimar as she would flinch whenever he appeared in front of her. Edvimar would apologise with a forced smile since it was apparently hard to control his passive aura due to his injured state.

According to him, all the monsters weaker than him would be inflicted by a fear status which explained why Nitha was afraid of him despite being quite a nice guy. Hunting was also easier since he was able to accurately pinpoint where most of the low level monsters are but we couldn't take him on the back of Nitha since she would struggle at flying.

I did notice that Nitha enjoyed our scouting much more than before since she didn't need to be near Edvimar.

Whenever we're back at the camp, she would use her claws to hook onto my clothes before dragging me away so that we could have some time together without Edvimar being close.

Seeing that she was always tensed around him, I let her do this since it was difficult to feel relaxed when a source of your fear is near you.

As we travelled north, we came across a city that had been completely cleared of monsters. There was signs of battle as well as scavenging but no traces of them could be found.

Edvimar seemed to be excited seeing some of the slash marks and muttered something to himself before sighing in relief.

Continuing north, we found more of these cities and strangely, no survivors for us to help and I realised that we were following the track of someone else.
