In the capital of knowledge, snowfall often represents the coming of the New Year, so every time the snowfall comes at the end of the year, the city is always full of happiness. But for some people, snowfall often means work heavier, such as Catherine is one of them.

On the lawn outside the Western Palace, the grass leaves had already withered in the cold wind. Catherine had just grabbed Panis, who was making a fool of herself outside, and now she was wearing a thick gray cloth dress, wrapped in the same thick cloth with long black hair. Her cheeks and nose were red with red cheeks, holding a long broom in her hand, and was carefully cleaning up the snow in the yard. At least she had to sweep the gravel path leading to the Western Palace so that her family would not be troubled by the snow when they came home. This was Catherine's most real purpose, and it was also the only purpose of her hard work and snow in the cold weather.

"Hey, you guy, can you not appear in front of me?" Catherine, who was sweeping the floor with her head down, suddenly raised her head and roared loudly.

The only person who was unfortunately yelled like this by Catherine was obviously Pennis.

The location of Catherine is next to the three most obvious oak trees in the yard. The seedlings that had just broken through the ground next to the three oak trees are already thirty or forty centimeters tall. This oak seed is a seed blessed by the elf druid in the forest. The juvenile period is very short. It can often take a few months to spend three years of childhood, reaching a height of one meter. After that, the oak will return to its normal growth state and there is no special place. Whenever there is one more family member in the Western Paradise, Catherine will plant an oak tree by herself to represent the inseparable family affection.

Panis tied a rope on the branch of the tallest oak tree, and climbed the rope with his calf and hung it upside down. The position of his head was just level with Catherine's head. While watching Catherine's hard work, he threw fruit into his mouth without any obstacles. When he was happy to eat, he would also take the initiative to control the rope and turn it around one or two times or swing around from side to side, looking leisurely and enjoyable.

"You want to make trouble with Vivian." Catherine rubbed her forehead and said, "Why do you want to make trouble with me?"

"Vivian just came back and got something and went out again." Panis said with a calm expression: "It seems that he is missing some experimental materials. I have to buy some in the nearby neighborhood."

"Then go back to the house and play by yourself." Catherine said as if she was coaxing the child: "Don't be outside anymore."

"No." Panis shook his head vigorously: "It's boring to be alone in the house."

"If you are bored, come and sweep the floor for me." Catherine said: "Why do you hang it on a tree? And how much do you like climbing trees? Just now you hang it on the tree outside. When you catch you, you hang it on it."

"Don't sweep the floor, it's very tired." Panis said seriously.

"Hu." Catherine pressed her chest and took a few deep breaths, suppressing her anger: "If you feel tired, go back to the house."

"No, it's boring." Panis threw a red fruit as big as a thumb, showing a difficult move. His legs used force to make the body horizontal. His open mouth just caught the fruit: "Yeah, it's delicious."

"I understand." Catherine looked soothing, nodded, and slowly pulled out her sword: "Sure enough, I should have cut you to death just now."

"Wait, calm down." Panis immediately turned over and jumped off the rope: "I remembered it, I want to tell you something."

"Speak quickly." Catherine held the sword and looked at Panis with her eyes squinted: "What are you going to tell me?"

"There was a mage, yes, an illusionist." Panis's face was full of memories: "That mage is very lazy, very lazy. He rarely leaves his residence unless he had no choice."

"Speak the point." Catherine urged, "Hurry up, I'll continue to sweep the snow."

"Okay okay, let's talk about the point." Panis said frustly: "One winter, he didn't go out for nearly a month. The snowfall that year was very heavy. When he was about to go out, he found that the gate of his wizard tower had been buried in snow and could not go out at all."

"Well, I know this kind of thing, too." Catherine was very interested: "When I was studying at the Knights of Faral before, it was not far from the northernmost part of Faral, but it was very close to the special area of ​​Permafrost Ice Field, so half of the year it was covered with snow. I often heard that snow buried the houses, so every household had to prepare a shovel. Once this happened, it would be very interesting to dig a passage out of it."

"Yes, it's the kind of situation you imagined." Panis nodded and said, "But that mage is lazy and definitely doesn't want to dig snow. He wants to use magic to blast out a way, but he is afraid that the house will collapse and will have to work hard to rebuild it. So, he had to cheer up and spend a day developing a nested magic array. The function of the magic array is very simple. The first is to gather fire elements to increase the temperature to melt the snow, and the second is to disperse the water elements to reduce humidity, so as to quickly gasify and emptiate the melted snow to prevent the melted snow from being frozen into ice, and he will not be able to come out at that time."

"He would rather spend a day studying a magic circle than dig out a passage?" Catherine asked with a laugh and cry: "How lazy is he? Is there really such a person? You can't make it up."

"Of course not, mage, only one or two normal people will appear occasionally." Panis shrugged: "It just so happened that someone has seen that magic circle for me, and I have used it secretly. It is indeed quite good. If you are proficient in operation, you will not be stupid that you use more time and energy than sweeping the snow."

"You've actually used it." Catherine looked at Panis with a squinted eye: "It's used to be lazy."

"Really, how do you say it?" Panis curled his lips: "Although in a sense, you are not wrong."

While self-destructing the past, Panis squatted down, took out a piece of cloth and wiped it hard on the ground that Catherine had swept, and wiped it clean as much as possible. Catherine looked at Panis's movements curiously. For her who could not even have magic at all, it was still very attractive to see a magic circle from scratch to effect.

"This method is actually only effective for mages who can portray magic circles out of thin air. It is to use the method I once told Vivian." Pannis stretched out his finger and slowly outlined it on the ground: "Although I am not a mage, at least I am also a magic swordsman. I can still use some simple spells. However, I don't know about magic circles, and I'm just writing them down. In fact, as long as I remember the magic circle clearly, my ability to control my body has reached a very high level. When mastering some magic casting abilities, it means that a perfect magic channel is built in my body, so it can be easily done. Well, the first magic circle has been drawn."

Panis bent over, put his finger on the snow, and moved forward along the path that Catherine wanted to clean. The magic silk thread condensed by magic was printed into the ground along Panis's fingers. Walking all the way to the entrance of the Western Paradise, Panis squatted down again, and his fingers moved quickly on the ground: "This place should be engraved with a supporting magic array, and connect it with a magic channel in the middle. In this way, when the magic array is activated, the effect of the magic array will spread to the path through the entire channel, which is very simple."

"Uh, it would be strange if you need to paint both sides." Catherine scratched her head and asked in confusion: "How did the man who invented the first time go out from the snow-covered door to outside to draw your supporting magic array?"

"Didn't I say it? You can't get out." Panis retracted his fingers and spread his hands: "In the end he knocked out the house, so he was just a fool. Well, now, as long as you input magic power at one end of the magic circle, you can activate the magic circle."

As Pannis waved his hand, the magic circle began to flash soft light. After a few minutes, Catherine discovered that small pits began to appear on the originally dense and smooth snow on the ground, which was a sign of the melting snow. But it was amazing that the melting of the snow did not cause the scene of snow flowing across the river. The ground exposed after the melting seemed very dry, as if it had not snowed.

"Strange." Catherine squatted down and touched the ground: "The temperature is not very high, why can it directly vaporize the melted snow?"

"It has not been vaporized, but it just disperses the water element directly. This way it is manifested as if it has been vaporized." Panis explained: "This method can only be used in places with very few water elements. Once there are too many water elements, the magic array will collapse. Although it is covered with snow here, it is actually ice elements alienated from water elements. It is not within the influence range. Only the melted snow water will return to water elements and be quickly dispersed."

"This is really easy to deal with." Catherine said to Panis with a satisfied smile, "But there is one thing I want to confirm first."

"What's the matter?" Penis asked strangely.

"You come to find me just to use this magic circle to help me clear the snow." Catherine asked with a smile.

"Yes, I suddenly remembered it and came out to find you." Panis replied: "Is there any problem?"

"If I'm not wrong, then you deliberately climbed onto the tree and wandered around me for half an hour." Catherine's smile became more and more weird, and the blood vessels on her forehead jumped: "During this period, you kept watching me sweeping the snow with difficulty, and giggling on her side. Is that true?"

"Huh? Haha, haha, that one." Panis looked around in panic, and was forced back by Catherine step by step: "I remember, Vivian is looking for me. I think she must have something important to me, and I should go there right away, hahahaha."

"What a pity." Catherine forced Penis to put his back on the door of the entrance: "Vivian has gone out to buy things, but you told me in person. Hehehehe, are you ready for the final judgment?"

"Hello everyone, we are here again." Just as cold sweats continued to emerge on Panis's forehead, a crisp voice came from outside the gate of the Western Palace. The girl's voice was as crisp and pleasant as the sound of the orioles in the valley in a summer afternoon, and the voice was full of youthful vitality.

"I'll open the door if you have a guest." Panis took advantage of Catherine's distraction and flashed past Catherine as fast as possible and rushed towards the metal fence gate. Catherine stomped her feet angrily behind her back, but she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
