Lesson Five: Keron's Ice Bridge

The next morning.

I'm ready to go.

The Dwarf mine, which leads to the Union, should be reached relatively soon.

But it doesn't turn out to be harsh terrain.

Before dawn, when the sun didn't rise, we were dropped off.

The inhabitants of Elf's canyon will look horrible.

I thought so, but it was more and more of a look.

The reason is simple.

Because Alec will stay in the canyon until this fate is fulfilled.

On top of that, even Limris, an outsider, is stationed at the beginning and end of the day.

The elves in the canyon were a sigh of color.

Here we are, Alec, a Rin stand-up.

Walkins with a soft look, as usual.

Bud with a sleepy face.

Limris to blame for that.

That's five of them, including me.

Seems Cecil is still sleeping.

Very childish.

Bud stretches out his back thoughtfully.

"Damn, what the hell... I misslept my neck"

"That's because Bud doesn't sleep well."

Limris put in a calm penetration.

But Bud also seems to be in a pretty bad mood.

Return immediately to your childhood friend.

"If you slept like Temei, you could sleep anywhere."

"Become, what is feminine!

"Fair enough, both of you. It's goodbye."

Rarely does Walkins enter the intermediary.

They were two people who had been staring at each other for a while, but the last glimpse of Bud's tongue ended.

Alec sighs at each person's condition.

"Ha... I'm really anxious"

Oh, boy, he's shrugging his shoulder.

And she's been staring at me.

It's Regis.

"Hmm, what's up?

"Take this."

Alec takes something out of his nostalgia.

From what I've seen, it looks like a rounded letter.

It is yellowing due to deterioration over time and gives a sense of history.

"What, this"

"Written 500 years ago, lost from the Union."

"... why do you have that?"

Say Walkins, you guys are too possessive of ancient products.

But around this time, I'm going to give it to you on purpose...

Doesn't seem like he had that letter by chance.

For one thing, I try to untie the strings because I'm concerned about the contents.

Then Alec grabbed my hand and stopped.

"Uh, don't open it now"

"Hmm?"

"After entering the Union, 'When you've been put in a situation where you can't solve anything,' untie the letter."

That's a lot of specifics.

In the first place, you won't even need force if you get to the Union.

Thank you very much.

"Is something wrong if I read it now?

"- Prejudice arises.

And it could be deadly on this mission. "

A word as sharp as a sharp arrow.

You can't open it, not to be told that much.

"Okay, I get it."

I missed the letter.

I'm definitely going to be upset that you're carrying it and you don't know what's in it.

But it's Alec's advice like no other.

Let me be honest with you.

Watching the morning sun rise, Walkins shrugged.

"Sounds like it's time to leave."

…………

Alec was staring at her with a look that seemed complicated.

But when he exhales deeply, he speaks to Walkins like he's reopened.

I asked for Regis.

"Of course it is. Bet on this life..."

Walkins answers with his hands on his chest.

If they put their lives on hold that far, we'll be frightened.

When he was smiling bitterly, Limris was also saying goodbye to his childhood friend.

"Bud. Be careful with your kids"

"I don't even have to tell you.

Don't let Temei get lost and kill the elves. "

In Bud's light mouth, Rimlis looks like a muck.

But that's Buddha's tolerance.

Cough one up, they're turning towards us.

"So, Lord Regis. Lord Walkins. I asked for the rest."

"I'll take care of it"

I nodded instantly.

It's a shame Rimlis will leave, which will take between

Bud, if it's the other person's willingness to communicate, there doesn't seem to be any more problems.

"The bravery of Lord Regis. Always tell the king."

"Thank you very much for that."

I want you to tell the king about it as a martial arts tradition.

I would still be glad to hear about 30% of the story so that I can get the highest possible official position.

Look at me snarling, Alec sighs.

"It's just a journey of delivering luggage. Let's get this over with."

"Oh, well, then I'll be there."

That's how we left the Elves' canyon.

◆ ◆ ◆

I was led through the canyon by an elf and stepped through the spiritual peak.

Foggy mountains.

The spiritual peak from this side is also fresh.

"That's the end of the tour."

One of the elves exhaled in relief.

She soon returns to the spiritual peak.

I said thank you for that back.

"Thanks for getting this far. Say hello to Alec and the others."

"Oh man... the disaster continues. Well, let me ask you something."

With that said, the elf disappeared into the mountains in one foot.

From here it will be a journey with Walkins and Bud.

Because we left early in the morning, or Bud looks asleep.

"Damn...... Not only because of the surroundings, but also because I was careful at my feet. I'll use my nerves."

Walkins is flat against Bud, who bites Akbi to death.

Instead, he checked with my eyes full of anticipation.

"Speaking of which, Master Regis. You've never been outside the kingdom before."

"Except for the canyon."

Well, will this be your first trip out of the country?

Well, the kingdom and neighboring countries aren't easy places to go to play.

I can also say for granted that I don't have a chance to leave.

"National comics are the best way to spread the word.

Some sword moves and magic are only transmitted in certain areas. "

"It's exciting to hear that..."

Most of all, I can't honestly be happy because it's more dangerous.

Even while you're walking like this, you could get raided.

Confirm the location of the 'letter that should be taken away' you are carrying.

Ideally, let your enemies take it by natural flow and make you look like one.

Don't let your acting skills be tested.

Walkins groaned nostalgically as he was playing Imetre in his brain.

"It's been a long time since you've walked around here.

When it comes to warmth, giant worm-shaped warcraft flock together. "

"... it's good to be in front of you in cold weather."

Will there be a massive outbreak like the giant bee I saw on the spiritual peak?

I don't even want to think about it.

But Bud is hoisting the edge of his mouth and laughing.

"Oh, let the spider look like a frightened rim."

There's a ghost here.

Bugs are really bad people.

I also fought a lot of blackish pests in my last life.

When I tried to capture him in a paper cup and he jumped on my two arms, I was just ready to die.

Well, I don't like bugs either.

After a short walk, I went out to an open place.

The mountain forest zone is finally over.

"-"

Then an eye-catching lake appeared in front of him.

No, a lake is also raw.

It's no longer the sea.

Huge reservoir with endless horizons.

Moving on for a while, I found a cliff where a huge amount of water would fall.

"What a waterfall..."

"I heard rumors, but it's been a long time."

Great Falls crushing everything with water pressure.

So much so that the loud water sounds echo in your body.

Walkins, shaking his hair in the breeze, said pointing to the other side of the waterfall.

"This is a big water source, isn't it?

Windy, once king of water spirits, purified himself, supposedly gained water transport to moisten the continent. "

Oh, is there such a legend?

A scenic spot surrounding a pillar of the Five Spirits - just majestic.

Bud opens the map in his hand and checks his current location.

"Was this the terrain that separates spiritual peaks from mines?

Apparently, it's in the right direction. "

You mean everything's going well so far?

Big water sources are in secrecy, so there were few references in the books.

This is where I want to rely on the guidance of the two of us.

"Bud, do you know the direction since you went into the mine?

"As soon as we descend to the northeast, it's the Union. Don't get lost. Just..."

Bud hangs up words there once.

And after a good look at the map, he whined in a serious tone.

Let's start by crossing this big water source over to the other shore.

If you flush the cucumber, the water flow is likely to disperse in a second.

Heavy waves are bumping into each other and rapids are gathering to create a vortex.

Of course swimming and crossing, it is imperative that you do not reach it by boat.

"Do you have a plan?

"Hey. What's going on?"

Bud replies sayingly.

Whoa, come here. Obstacle.

If so, why did the king tell you to go this route with confidence?

If the great water resources cannot be crossed, we will not be able to go to the Union.

Worried, Walkins asked unexpectedly.

"Ohhh... Regardless of Master Regis, doesn't Master Bud know either?

"Am I?"

In response to Walkins' inquiry, Bud replies in a grumpy manner.

But Walkins goes on like he doesn't care.

Following him, he went out the closest to the other shore.

Then something caught my eye.

That's what Walkins told her in nostalgia.

"An unrivalled user of ice magic, Keron's undamaged bridge, the Ice Bridge."

◆ ◆ ◆

A long bridge that leads to the other side of the horizon.

I'm overwhelmed by the force.

And when I realized, the more goosebumps I had, the cooler the area was.

The temperature on that bridge is terribly low.

"Unlike the bridge on the border, it's a relic of an old era that's now unused and forgotten."

Forgotten bridge.

When I hear more about it, it seems this was made during the Evil God War.

At that time, the continent's four wise men were defeated by the Evil Gods in imperial territory.

Decided to retreat to the south in an intense pursuit.

However, we cannot evacuate across the Great River in a situation where the ship has been destroyed.

That's when the great magician Keron made his name.

She freed up all her power in this place of great water and created this ice bridge.

Thanks to this, we succeeded in pursuing the Evil Gods and retreating to the south.

Under Alec's guidance, we temporarily stationed in the canyon of Elves.

"Because of that retreat, the Crusaders, led by Si-hsien, were able to rebound their forces."

I see.

It led to Alec's story I heard before.

Walkins is a little shy on his cheek.

"By the way, the crystallization of the bridge I showed you in the canyon,

It's a reference to the ice magic that Keron specializes in. "

"Heh..."

Keron.

A woman who was a close friend of the Shanleys, one of the four wise men of the continent.

I hear he was striving for friendship with other races while being a person's.

"Best of all, the technique of crystallizing ice and making it easier to cross is something I knitted."

"That means this bridge..."

"You mean pretty slippery."

Next to Walkins, proudly chested, me and Bud drop shoulders.

Walking on ice with regular shoes is going to break my bones.

In the idiom sense or in the physical sense.

This is like breaking through a skating rink with a sneaker.

"Please don't let it bother you.

If you cross here, it's a Dwarf mine. The Union is already in front of us!

Walkins inspires me to cheer up.

Yeah, what do you do when you're scared in here?

I got in the mood and started to move on with my slippery feet.

Jiri, Jiri.

Gradually move forward, taking care of every step of the way.

That's surprising... I lost it worrying about you.

I wipe my sweat, I pose all over my guts.

"What, that sounds easier than I thought.

If we proceed carefully like this, we'll figure it out. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

I slipped through my head the moment I stepped in.

He shows a strange dance that pokes his legs up high in the air and lands from his face.

I managed to get my hands between my forehead and the ice, so the damage is minimal.

But it doesn't change the pain.

"Gu, gu..."

"Are you okay, Master Regis?"

Walkins reaches out.

Let them get caught in that hand and stand up.

But Walkins' walking is no different than usual.

It's a terrible thing not to have this ice.

"Ha. Pathetic, Regis."

From what I can see, Bud is also moving ahead in quite a steady walk.

That's something like assassin killing.

Bud lodged his good eye in the back of his mask and tried to turn around.

"That's what happens when you're not working out your trunk - no!

Gocan, and a ruinous sound sounded.

Bud's body is thrown out on the ice and doesn't even move with Pickle.

... went from the back of my head.

Terrible, worse than me.

Apparently, he slipped his heel on a turned clap.

He is falling with his white eyes turned.

Driven by a desire to try to strip a mask into this gap, but let reason mobilize and endure.

I'll help Bud wake up, who regressed his consciousness.

Look at me and Bud, Walkins smiles innocently with Couscous.

"Don't take it personally."

That's a good word.

But now that I've abandoned my guard and pride, I'm not afraid of anything anymore.

Don't think I'll repeat the same mistake.

Me and Bud are conscious of walking carefully and marching on the ice.

- As a result, it took seven falls to cross.

Note that Bud slipped his legs along the way and fainted again.

Like me, he doesn't seem to be very good on ice.

I had no choice but to drag him away because he woke up.

What is this Real Seven Fall?

It was me holding on to my swollen forehead and vowing never to skate.
