Continental Eurasia.

Naturally rich earth where world trees take root. The closer we get to the center, the depressed are the mountains, and the meadows are a paradise for the plants that grow with grass flowers all year round.

However, not much is known, the northeastern part of the continental bridge is an alpine region with mountain ranges and harsh snowpacking zones for the plants.

For this reason, it is said that the path through the continental bridge to the south is common and safe to bypass along the coast so as to avoid the alpine zone lying between the northeast and the centre with the world trees.

However, in the meantime, time and money will be taken for immigration screening even if it passes in order for several countries to be narrow and adjacent against the backdrop of maritime rights disputes. Whether it's a detour or not, it takes more time and costs less to travel.

So we headed straight from the Continental Bridge towards the center. In other words, they chose to exit the mountain range.

There are several reasons for choosing it, but it's still far from the final destination, the labyrinth city, and the best reason is to want to shorten it where it can be shortened.

From the Continental Bridge to the Alpine Zone, a few days walk away. After cultivating English in a city on the way, we bought all the cold gear we didn't need and climbed a mountain that was still green. That's where they hit the entrance into the alpine zone.

At first, we were able to climb the mountains according to the ground trampled on, but with the temperature dropping, the presence of the road became endangered, and on the fourth day out of the city we entered the snowy zone.

But there was an unexpected problem there.

Now the season is before summer. In that season, the more snow accumulates, the higher the altitude. That's not comparable to Cliff Mountain, where snow completely melts at the end of spring anymore.

Then inevitably, that one is in danger. Yes, I have alpine disease.

But it's rotten or adventurous there. Of course it was a possibility, I was thinking. Still, we decided there was nothing wrong with physical sturdiness, strength, and pure physical ability being superior to Earthlings. In fact, none of us developed alpine disease.

What, then, was unexpected is the thinness of the air causing alpine disease and the double punch of unfamiliar cold. As far as the cold is concerned, it took away more of our strength than we could have imagined because of the far lower quality of cold gear than Earth.

Besides, even in a world outside the city where demons are said to be dangerous, there can't be a prevalence of dedicated tools like climbing an overly harsh snow mountain, and the only thing you can rely on is your body that you've built up. Regardless, there is not a single snow mountain expert in this.

There, the thinness of the air, as I said earlier, works, while fatigue builds up.

However, in order to shorten the time, there was a further problem with walking without complaining and for another two days.

That was when the shadows of the world tree began to appear across the thin sky.

Wherever you look, snow, snow, snow. From time to time, the guy appeared when he even began to remember falling in love with the rocky skin peeking from the cliffs of the exuberant mountains.

Fluffy and snow falling from heaven. The snow rose, stirred by the occasional strong wind.

A large group of demons that suddenly appeared more than the sight they made white and sumptuous. While I was impressed with how many meters of snow there were creatures in this uncertain land who would act as herds, I was stunned to see the demons.

It was a goblin. Only the most famous species are responsible for a single painting of the world's weakest demons.

But you can't even be stunned because such a familiar bunch of them showed up. I was surprised because the goblins slipped and attacked me on a board of trees over the snow.

Goblins are famous for being retarded. How about that? Basically loyal only to their instincts, they try to survive using tools like parts of their bodies and means that can be described as tactics tailored to this harsh environment.

Besides, what an ice brace those goblins can spit out of their mouths. He came at me with a brace, gliding down the slope with a plank of wood, where the movement was dull due to poor feet.

The official name is Snow Goblin, but it was no longer a goblin bearing the name of the weakest species.

What a succesful demon.

Without rotting into the crown of the weakest species ever born, we use wisdom and the power of numbers to confront it. Needless to say, I was about to spill hollows and tears. Anna, whose feet were taken by the snow and frozen where she fell, went mad and accidentally stopped them from attacking her, which means she had no choice.

After that, brave by the hands of a ruthless goddess, they left the world, but I listed a species called Snow Goblin as my heart's favorite.

Dragon Valley from the sky. White smoke A forest of world trees that can stand in.

Favorites in line for those. I couldn't hide my surprise at joining the demon battle.

-It's gossip.

Now, to return to this, needless to say, a new problem is Anna, who was given cold gear.

A few hours after that touching encounter.

"Ooh, Sa, Sabu, no. No more... I can't feel my hands and feet..."

Anna, who had her cold gear turned into a real goblin, was pretty pinch. Clarified, there is no replacement because no one thought the cold gear would be your grandfather.

At a time like this, Gold is likely to lend Anna clothes without hesitation, but it is not suitable for skinny Anna in Gold clothes because it is a rather gutted system that does not suit her loose face. Besides, at the end of the day, then Gold would just be a pinch, and if it didn't solve anything, then Gold, who still tried to lend it, was persuaded by Anna.

That's why Anna is now appropriately wearing the clothes I lent her.

But how many minutes of cold proof sweet clothes. If you're going through the snow, you'll be a vichovicho, and the wind will blow through you.

"Here, let's take a break."

I felt Anna's limitations and removed clothes from the storage space that had not yet become bichovy before frostbite.

"Look, I'm gonna run away from home right now, so hold this."

"Oh, thanks..."

Anna, who beeps and toothpicks and freezes, is always honest.

Anna and the women went in first in the house where the simple heating appliances I removed from the storage space were attached...

"So you guys are koch. How many times do I have to do this?"

and catch the three roots of Gilk, Gold and Haruki trying to follow the women.

"Oh, hey! Get off me! We're cold too, I know you just want to warm up soon!

"Exactly! I need you to warm up with your fur, I will!

"You know, Charles is inside, and you think I'm gonna let him go?

Recently, Gilk, they've created a mysterious alliance called the Spring Tree Alliance, both of whom argue with each other, but when I gently asked him, 'Shall I warm you up with this,' he pulled his face back.

But then there's one guy who won't back down.

I want to see Anna naked.

"Honest. You're too dosrate, you are. Do that when you're alone."

"How dare you!

I heard such a yell from a whole house standing in the snow, but I don't care.

"Look, give it up for today"

"Tomorrow would be nice?

"... depending on the circumstances"

If it's just Anna, I'll let you in. Yes, I convinced Gold, and Anna yelled at me even more.

Then, after a while.

"That's enough, guys."

On behalf of the women who apparently finished dressing, the knit called out to me. There were a few two boogie guys, but they didn't deal with them, and when they all went inside, they dried wet cold gear with snow for a moment and calmed their hips.

"Uh, I'll come back to life."

Anna lay down with Gothen and occupied the front of the fireplace. Since it is not very spacious because of the properly built house, nor is it built to block the outside cold air, it is not an exaggeration to say that the fire in the fireplace is the fire of life, but if you look at the hands and feet that have turned bright red, you cannot say it strongly.

I have no choice but to arrange a chair around Anna that warms my freezing body, and we all get along and warm.

"Shall we not rest here today? Anna's at her limit today."

"Oh dear. I can't move out of here anymore today. Wow."

Apparently corrupted by the excess cold, Anna doesn't even move Pickle from the front of the fireplace. The prolonged voice still represents Anna's mood for falling asleep.

After seeing how Anna was like that, Luxeria opened her mouth.

"Sir, our perception has just been sweet, and unexpected problems continue to arise. Even considering the strength of Carrot and Lua, shouldn't we turn back here once and for all and have a complete system in place? Alternatively, there is a choice to change course…"

"Am I gonna be okay? This kid seems a little spicy... but turning back the way he came can also be spiritually spicy. Fortunately, you can rest in a warm place like this, and you'll have a little patience."

Mr Carrot said as he stroked Lua's hair sleeping on his lap exhausted. But I can see from the look on my face that I'm tired and in a tough state in a different way from Anna's, soon enough. Let it be a lure that has been negatively affected by Luxeria since the middle of nowhere. It may be tough to travel in this challenging environment with children.

"Hmm, turn back..."

But I got lost in judgment.

Since it was unexpected, I don't think it would be a bad idea to take good measures next time. There are also options for switching to a safe and steady route.

But to turn back here, there is another problem.

"But seeing the world tree might be faster to move on than going back to buy Anna's clothes. Besides, even if we change paths, if we don't turn back to the Continental Bridge, we shouldn't be along the coast, and which roads are in the snow for more than two days. Thinking about it, it's necessarily better to turn back here..."

Which one of us will get away from this snowy zone sooner rather than later? One side of the snow scenery and I don't even know where I'm around right now.

All I know is that the road home has to be walked for two days.

"No, wait, okay?

If you think about it, don't we have the need to honestly turn back in the snow?

I'm ashamed of myself. I can't believe I haven't been able to execute it myself while preaching its usefulness myself. Wouldn't this be the time when this magic item would show its true value?

"Okay, I've made up my mind. Let's turn back to Arctia."

'Ha...?' And as they held their mouths together, I stepped into the use of my first metastatic artifact.

At the same time, a substitute called a metastatic tool is convenient. It's convenient enough to be sad about what the journey has been these past few weeks.

If this spreads, the world will undoubtedly change. If mobility between cities is made easier and safer, there will be a boom in interaction with distant countries and cities that have never been involved before. Must be a kick-ass way for people to expand the world.

Whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for this world can't be said at all, but as a proponent, I think it would be better to spread it in a better direction.

Now, after that first experience, I turned back to the city of Arctia, and I suggested that I rethink my plans for the trip in one of the rooms I used to take care of.

"I've been asking the dean a few questions, and so far he hasn't had a problem with the metastatic equipment that connects Arctia to the surrounding villages. Consider it fairly safe to be guaranteed. So I'm going to actively incorporate metastatic artifacts into my journey from these"

Assuming the use of a metastatic tool, one can understand that the journey can proceed in an unprecedented manner. For example, it is easy to think of a safer and smoother journey by dividing parties between those who travel and those who wait in the city.

We are pioneers, so to speak. I thought I needed to think about a new way of doing things before I could put them into practice.

"To try, I'm going to divide the group into three parts. I'll continue the journey for the first time."

"Well, let's go too"

"Well, wait, Luxeria. 'Cause I'm not done talking to you yet."

Luxeria's decision was quick, whether she was quick or responsible. Probably decided that the group that continues the journey is the harshest. Because of his long days as the leader of the bandits, he has something he tends to carry, but I think we just need to get a little more shoulder strength out of this party because there are a bunch of guys with a lot of energy in vain.

"Luxeria, wait group. I'm pretty sure you'll be busy with Cool Cass, so just relax in this city with Mr. Carrot and Lua right now. You don't have to hang out with me."

"No, but..."

"It wouldn't be that dangerous in the whole city, but I've never been cautious. There's no more qualified than Luxeria on this matter, is there?

I persuaded Luxeria that I was just immature and that I had made Mr. Carrot and the others unable to do so, and that they should leave the most trustworthy person behind in order to get some rest.

"... well. If my husband has such an idea, I'll stay here. I'm really sorry it was my errand to stop by Cool Cass."

"I've had a lot of help with Luxeria, too, so don't worry about it. I'm not even gonna stop by like this."

I didn't say I was embarrassed because I was one of them, but for once Luxeria seemed to convince me, so I decided to come back.

"Well, I think I figured it out in the flow of the story, a group and a waiting group to continue the journey, and then another one. Once back in the kingdom, I want to divide it into groups that will install the metastatic equipment."

I have always wanted to install a transfer device somewhere in the Kingdom of Rustberg if I had a chance. It's also about half my hometown, and so I suggested to make the most of this opportunity, as I don't have to bother explaining the significance of putting down the metastatic artifact.

"Haku, can you ask me? With your wings, I don't think it's going to take long..."

"Haku, promise not to leave your parents"

"... yes, you were. So, does anyone else want to go on foot instead?

Alert me to break my promises all the time, or Haku, a better-better, refused to go to the king's capital. I had no choice but to ask if anyone else would go.

"Then I'll go. I don't care where it's cold anymore, and I'm familiar with geography. I think we should go."

"Then I'll leave this metastatic device with you. You can have this in my house, and I need you to set it up around there. For once, give me the magic equipment for communication and put it down."

Hand over a carpet-like, barrel-shaped transfer tool and a pebble-like communication tool.

"Funny. You want me to travel with this? Are you insane?"

"It's sane. Take it to your prince who's willing to follow you there."

And to make fun of you.

"What? Am I taking it?

"Not you."

Oddly enough, the misguided former prince had a voice.

On the other hand, if you're a real prince.

"Leave it to me! Because it's my job to protect Anna!

"Bullshit... you promised you wouldn't say that!

This one was a little uneven, but Anna's face turned bright red, so let's just say good. I'm teasing you.

"You guys haven't been deadbeat since that day, after all?

In response to such pure doubt, Anna, who made her face even more red, hit my Ben Kyung hard with her toes. And Anna, who immediately presses the toe of her leg and jumps the piompion. It's the end of my luck that my tibia insulted me the same way they did around there. My tibia doesn't scream like that when I continue to kick hard stuff and impose karate rough healing of deforming bones.

"Oh, your body, what's really going on! You idiot!"

"Huh, overcoming your weaknesses is fundamental to your workout"

Use thousand-day archery as a forge and 10,000 day archery as a practice. Anyone in Japan knows the words left over from Musashi Miyamoto.

The real meaning of this seems to be learning moves in a thousand days and finishing the moves in ten thousand days, but I interpret them slightly differently.

Still immature in a thousand days of archery. I haven't even been able to do my workouts. He said it was only by performing 10,000 days of archery that the meaning of training finally appeared.

So here's what I thought.

If I do a hell of a workout, I wonder if it will work out soon.

"That's right, Mr. Ray! This is what you meant when you were blowing up your own body or jumping off a cliff! I thought I'd finally lost my mind. [M] Especially in that august mouth."

"Shall we stop talking about that already! Because we all have eyes like we see a guy who hurts!

Don't pull into my hell of a workout. Face to face, I hung up Lycood's mouth I was working out with.

I can't do this any more. I'm aware that my last push was crazy.

Especially 'To tighten the workout, Auga fangs and my body. Let's see which one is stiff' or something I said is a past that I don't want everyone to know about.

"... you don't know what you've been adding and subtracting for a long time."

"Ugh! Temeh is going to King's Landing!

I was stunned by Anna's gaze and comments, and I pushed the metamorphosis device to delude it and kicked it out of the city.

Then Gilk rang from behind.

"Hey, crazy"

"What? Are you on the table?

"I'll follow them, too. I won't be in the empire forever because I don't care."

"Right, okay. - So, are we on the table?

Gilk decides to ignore cancer in response to repeated queries about whether to come on my watch. When I let the demon stone explode two hours later dive into his pocket using storage space, I dropped them off as they traveled to Wangdu.

"... Well, the rest stays. If Huck's coming, there's no point in more people."

"So while the Rays are on their journey, should we also be doing our adventurer's work?

"Well, you are. You won't have to lose anything by ranking it up... you don't have to play anything else."

There will also be fatigue in the journey. It is also important to take time off.

"I'm sorry about Ridge. We need to do something about it."

"It's like half a hobby, so I don't mind. Anna and the others don't say such details. Well, if you're saying you're gonna do it, I'm not gonna stop you, but I think the sweater and Haruki should be ranked higher than making money, okay?

In the case of knitwear and spring trees, the rank is low because they became adventurers later than others.

Luxeria, who became an adventurer in the same period, has created a rank gap within the party because she worked hard to earn money, or because one rank is higher than the other. I can't say this is a very good idea, considering later things. This is because it does not contribute to income inequality within our peers.

By the way, the average rank in the party right now is B.

Leaving aside the A-rank for the first time, given that the Knits and Spring Trees have just become C-ranked, it is my idea to ask the two of them to prioritize the number of requests over the gold.

"Okay. Well, then, Charles, apart from Stena and the others, I'll turn around a simple favor with Spring Tree."

"No, no, no, I have plans to date Lislit all over the city."

"I'm relieved I'm free."

The plainly terrible knit incorporated Spring Tree into the working group on the assumption that the appointment would be a breakthrough. That's not true, heartbreaking Haruki. So, just cover from the wrist lit...

"Haruki, I actually have something I want..."

"Leave it to your uncle. I'll buy you anything expensive."

It wasn't cover, it was just. But Haruki seemed happy, so I didn't say anything, just slapped Lycood on the shoulder.

"Please, owner"

"What... when were you fixed in that disgraceful position, I..."

"Since the beginning. Besides, I need you to pull the reins to make sure Lislit doesn't go all wagga mama wants."

Well, the trouble is I threw a round, and I stroked Haku's head.

"Well, that's the way it is. If anything happens, contact me with a magic device. Don't rub it."

"I'll take care of it. I hate it, but I'll keep an eye on it."

"I almost told you that."

Lycood, a leader in adventurous relationships, left the inn behind with anxiety over his lack of consciousness.

'Welcome aboard, Master. We are waiting for you to drive away those low brains who mourn Master Krakberg.'

"Kukuku, I pray in the shadows that you will encounter an interesting case on the road."

─ ─ Correction.

I followed the scene with great anxiety.
