My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

Yes, the reason why the Lison Chamber of Commerce came here early to open an inn was because of Orson’s instructions.

Orson sent a letter to the head of the Dukedom of Lucia in the Lison Chamber of Commerce. Of course, the other party knew Orson's position in the Lison Chamber of Commerce, so he naturally did not dare to neglect it and quickly made arrangements.

This can also be regarded as Orson's counterattack against Triss.

After all, after Triss played a prank on him, Olivia often made gestures at Orson's waist when she returned.

Although he didn't actually do anything, Orson still holds a grudge.

According to his understanding, Triss's bad character would definitely cause her to tamper with the supplies at the starting point, so Orson simply waved his hand and called the caravan over.

Sure enough, after seeing Triss's expression as if she had eaten a fly, Orson couldn't help feeling proud.

This time, he managed to get back a point.

Chapter 7: Elsa joins the team

There are no poor students in the Imperial Academy. Even if they come from humble backgrounds, they can live well with the subsidies from the academy. Therefore, after this supply replenishment, everyone prepared as much supplies as possible.

It is a little more tiring for warriors who don't know magic, as they need to use bigger bags to carry their belongings, while it is a little easier for magicians, as they can use magic carpets or other devices to carry their belongings.

But no matter what, after the ban on carrying space props, the supplies that each person can carry are limited, and they can only survive in the snow for ten days at most. If they encounter a snowstorm, even more supplies will be consumed.

In this situation, there is no doubt that the students' ability to survive in the wild will be tested.

Therefore, on the first day, many people chose to travel far away.

The reason why the snowfield is sparsely populated is that the resources available for survival are very limited on its barren land.

A person may need to collect resources from dozens of miles around to obtain enough supplies for survival. In this case, each additional person means that the distance that needs to be explored will increase significantly.

Those who choose to leave directly are prepared to use the limited supplies to run as far as possible so that fewer people will compete with them for resources.

After all, survival means competition for resources.

Of course, large-scale companionship is impossible, but small-scale companionship is necessary.

In addition to the shortage of supplies on the snowfield, there are also attacks from wild beasts and weather. In this situation, division of labor and cooperation are needed.

Because Lit, Lena and Lianka have a good relationship, they decide to travel together.

Litt originally wanted to go with Orson, but Orson was a sophomore after all and had his own tasks. Although Litt could join in, it was very likely that Litt would just be a burden to Orson now.

Of course she knew it, so she chose to wait outside for good news from Orson.

It's just a bargain for that woman Olivia.

Li Te thought so and gritted his teeth again.

Oh, just be patient for now, don't panic, and develop yourself first. Orson and Olivia are an old married couple anyway, and nothing has happened for so long before, so nothing will happen in Lapland now.

……

As for Orson, as time entered night, he also prepared to head deeper into the snowfield with Olivia.

Many people have taken the initiative to invite Orson, hoping to travel with him, but how could Orson not know what they are thinking?

I just want to find a backbone and follow Orson to get better grades.

So, after politely declining many people's offers, Orson simply stayed there and refused to leave.

Seeing this, of course everyone didn't want to waste time here, so they formed their own teams and headed deep into the snowfield.

It was not until the evening when most people had left that Orson prepared to leave with Olivia.

Not far from the post station, Orson suddenly saw a figure walking alone in front of him, and the figure looked familiar.

"Elsa?"

Orson asked subconsciously, causing Olivia beside him to glare at him helplessly.

The person in front heard Orson calling her and turned around.

"Orson, and... Olivia? Why haven't you two left yet?" Elsa looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression on her face.

"Ah...something happened, so I was delayed for a while." Orson explained, and then asked in return: "Elsa, why did you get here only now?"

"Well, because I just left not long ago." Elsa said this, touched the back of her head, and said awkwardly, "It seems that no one wants to team up with me, so I had to leave alone."

"Ah? Why is no one willing to team up with you, Elsa?" At this time, Olivia, who was standing next to Orson, spoke in confusion.

The other party is the princess of the empire! If you team up with her and get her attention, you will definitely have a good future, if not great wealth.

Even if we put aside her identity as an imperial princess, the strength of a seventh-level magician is there. She is already quite powerful and a formidable combat force. How could no one be willing to team up with her?

Thinking of this, Olivia narrowed her eyes.

I always feel like something is wrong. Could it be that Elsa deliberately pretended to be like this in front of Orson?

The purpose is to get close to Orson?

When Olivia thought of this possibility, she immediately became alert.

No matter what the other party's purpose is, it seems a bit difficult to deal with.

Seeing Olivia asking this, Elsa had no choice but to explain her own thoughts:

"It seems that because I am a princess, they are worried that if I am around, I will take credit for their work. If this causes my dissatisfaction, I might even hold a grudge against them. So in order to avoid trouble, they simply don't come to me to form a team."

"So that's the reason." Orson nodded, showing his understanding. "I thought that with your status as a princess, Elsa, you would have a group of loyal servants following you, even if they would sacrifice their own interests to make you happy."

Orson was almost about to say the word "dog licker".

"Pfft." Elsa was amused by this statement, "Even if there is such a person, he will definitely not show up at a time like this."

"Yeah, a friend in need is a friend indeed." Orson said subconsciously.

But then he realized that this statement was not quite right.

What exactly is the so-called "true love"?

Sure enough, after Orson realized something was wrong, Olivia put her hand behind Orson's back as if by reflex.

"Of course, I mean the friendship between classmates!" Orson explained immediately.

Although the explanation made the atmosphere even stranger, it still played a certain role.

At least Olivia's hands weren't on Orson anymore.

"Then, Elsa, do you want to come with us next?" Olivia walked forward and took the initiative to invite Elsa.

"Eh? Is that okay?" Elsa was stunned, then asked in surprise: "I... I won't disturb you, right?"

"Of course not." Olivia smiled and shook her head.

"After all, sometimes, some people are afraid to say something, so they can only let another person say it, right, Orson?"

Olivia turned her head and looked at Orson with a sly smile, as if she could see through Orson's heart.

"Well, it's okay. It's better to say that you can help us a lot, Elsa."

"Well, thank you for your guidance." Elsa said this and thanked the two of them quickly.

"Wait a moment."

At this time, Olivia called a halt again.

"After all, this training involves academic credits, and none of us are the type to earn credits. Let's make a rule. When we report the contents of the training, we are not allowed to make false reports. Whoever discovers the information about the Laplanders' beliefs will get the credit."

"I'm fine." Elsa nodded.

Orson agreed.

"Okay, then, welcome aboard, Elsa." Olivia said this, then suddenly leaned forward and whispered a few words into Elsa's ear.

Elsa was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks turned red and she quickly shook her head like a rattle.

"How is that possible! I'm not that kind of person!"

"Then I feel relieved." Olivia nodded with satisfaction and returned to Orson.

Orson only saw two people suddenly whispering to each other, but he had no idea what they were talking about.

However, he didn't want to gossip about the content of the two girls' private conversation.

"It's getting late. Let's find a place to camp and leave tomorrow."

"Yeah."*2

Chapter 8: Snowfield Village

A week later, somewhere outside the snowfield.

Three figures in fur coats were walking in the snow.

It gets dark much earlier in Lapland than in other areas. The daylight here is only eight hours, so all activities need to be completed as quickly as possible.

For the locals here, they may have gotten used to it, but for the Imperial College students who came here from other places, they need some time to adapt.

Compared to the thick snow in winter that was enough to cover the knees, the snow here is now just above the ankles, so the walking conditions are already quite good.

"Ha..." Among the three people, the last one stopped first.

"I...I can't do it anymore. I've been walking for too long today."

She raised her head and looked at the two people in front of her who had also stopped.

"Leet, Lena, let's find a place to rest. I can't walk anymore."

Yes, the trio is Litt, Lena and Lianka. As the weakest and most pampered of the three, Lianka is obviously the least adaptable to survival in the wild.

Today, we set out at dawn and walked for four hours.

They walked very fast, so their energy was depleted even faster. Even though Lianka already had the strength of the sixth level, she had no choice but to admit defeat at this moment.

"Okay." Li Te nodded, then rose into the sky and looked at the surrounding terrain.

After confirming that there was a sheltered spot nearby, Lit took the two of them there.

After clearing an area of ​​snow, the three set up camp on the spot.

"Is there enough food?" Lianka sat by the fire, stretched out her hands to warm them, and looked at Litt who was frowning as he counted the supplies in his backpack, and asked curiously.

"Yeah." Li Te nodded. "We have been busy traveling these days, and we haven't killed many animals on the road. With the food we brought when we set out, we probably only have less than five days of food left."

Hearing this, Lianka lowered her head in silence.

Of course she knew that she was holding the team back, but she didn't know what to do to make up for her guilt.

After all, if you think about it carefully, she doesn't seem to be as outstanding as Billet and Lena.

Especially in the snowfield, without the help of her family and status, she was nothing.

Even during the daily hunting, it was Litt and Lena who obtained the most prey.

It wasn't that Lianka couldn't even catch the prey, but she had no experience in surviving in the wild. She had no idea where the prey could be found. She was walking aimlessly in the vast snowfield, and it was a blessing that she didn't get lost.

"Let's take a break today. Following the direction pointed by the hunter, we should be able to find the village in two or three days." Half an hour later, Litt roasted a few wild rabbits and handed one to Lianka.

Lena also divided the broth cooked by the fire into three portions.

Lianka looked at the food in front of her, was silent for a while, and then said: "Well... I'd better not eat it. These are what you guys hunted..."

"It's already this late, why are you still talking nonsense?" Litt didn't listen to Lianka and took the initiative to hand the rabbit to her.

"Okay, let's eat. We are getting closer to our destination. We can stay in the village temporarily. Anything is fine."

"That's right, Sister Lianka, if you abandon us, Lena will be very angry."

"Yeah..." Lianka nodded.

They rested for another two hours, walked a distance as it was getting dark, and then set up camp on a leeward slope.

When night came, everyone took turns to keep watch. Lianka sat by the fire, bowed her head and thought.

Just at this moment, she heard a strange noise coming from the side.

It sounded like something was stepping on the snow, causing the snow to sink.

She quickly turned her head, only to see a pair of glowing eyes staring at her in the darkness.

Is it a wolf?

Thinking of this, she placed her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist. If the other party dared to approach her, she would just treat it as a bonus for today.
