Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0
Path of Ice
White Gee's sudden birth made me bumpy from morning, but when I finished dressing, it was time for breakfast as usual.
With a new companion called the Eisether family and guests like Gordia and Elijah, the breakfast scene has become more lively than usual... There are a number of steaming dishes lined up on the tables that fill the square.
Whether it's meat dishes, potato and egg soup, or gathering the blessings of the forest, from now on more milk dishes will be added here... it seems that it will be quite a nutritious level.
"No, but I heard that you live on the periphery, so I was worried that you could make a proper meal... but if you're not good at it, it might be more luxurious than the King's cafeteria."
Well, Diaz has long been a meal-worker... maybe it's only natural that this should happen. "
Gordia, who was enjoying a sumptuous breakfast like that, suddenly came up with such a thing... Senai, Aihan, the dogs, and the maers who rested their bodies after finishing their morning meals, sent an interesting gaze to Gordia.
"Ah... look, when I was poor and I just met Diaz, when I got a little money, Diaz was eating a lavish meal for all his friends, including himself."
Bread, meat, cheese, fruits... it's not like an orphan eats where she's having trouble sleeping, but Diaz gave priority to that kind of meal over saving.
Some people, including me, refused to spend a lot of money on dinner... but after a year, no one complained.
Since then, everyone has recognized Diaz as a leader. "
With that, Gordia begins a nostalgic story.
That's not a big deal, though.
At that time, there were other groups of orphans besides us who prioritized buying savings, weapons, houses and clothes over eating.
I worked every day, filling my stomach with old bread alone... while laughing that we were eating something that would be lavish compared to that... as Gordia said, I lived like that for about a year...
A year later, the group collapsed.
Everyone is fatigued, lacks strength, is unable to work, and becomes ill...
That was really a minor, very natural story.
If you don't eat a good meal, it's only a matter of course...
Indeed, it is not so difficult to cut the cost of food as long as you put up with it appropriately.
... it's not difficult, but we're going to pay for it ourselves.
Every working adult has a solid body, and if they worked every day, they would be like themselves if they worked hard... that was only on the premise that they were eating solid meals every day... but they couldn't notice it until the end.
Looking at them from a distance, it was clear that their bodies were getting thinner and thinner, but they didn't notice it because they were looking at themselves and their friends every day... by the time they realized it, it was too late.
Of course, before that happened, Gordia and I advised us to change our eating habits, but they laughed at us, and they didn't accept the advice... some of us who got sick and some of us who realized we were wrong joined our group and recovered by improving our diet, but... some of us who couldn't admit we were wrong until the end, went somewhere with a thin body.
"--But, Diaz has a problem with Diaz."
After a few years, it started to get big like an idiot, and I ate three to four times as much as a person, and I hunted all day long to do something about Diaz's meal... and the result is that my body and my heroic work, but I really came then. "
When I remembered the old days, Gordia said something so selfish... and I was dumbfounded.
True, my appetite was impressive, but Gordia also showed an unbeatable appetite... She even flattened twice as much meat as I did.
Eli, Isa, and Ellie, who knew about that time, looked shocked... well, they all enjoyed their conversation so much that they let Gordia do whatever she wanted without saying anything... and while they did that, the breakfast time was over.
When breakfast time is over, clean up, brush your teeth, etc... and everyone starts moving to their respective workplaces.
Goldia also recently worked for Irku Village... followed by Uncle Ben, Aisa, Eli, the Isetar clan, including the clan leader Colm, Serchi and Narvant, along with the wagons that were driven by the horses.
They're headed to the mountains in the north... where they're building a water hut.
I need you to keep an eye on the monsters, build a shed in between, and build a vault of ice.
It looks like they're going to dig up more ground to the north of Irk Village, build a basement, and stuff it with snow from the mountains... The Narvants are starting to make special clay to make that basement.
Mixing the sand of the wilderness with the clay that came out of the ground, ash and lime, Maha's hair, and real egg whites to create a special clay that does not pass through water and heat.
Covering the basement walls, ceilings, and floors reinforced with wood can trap the snow cooler than a stone vault, and the ingredients inside can last longer.
I made such a basement in the north of Irku village, around the reception hall, and around the Sekigo. I brought snow from the mountains and packed it up... I also saved the ingredients and the ice I brought from the mountains, and when the time came, I sold it to the neighboring territory... I went to sell it under Erdan.
It seems that creating a basement around the reception hall and the Sekiguchi is about conscious of the transportation route to the neighboring territory... Uncle said that it is "the road of ice" or something.
Even if it is not sold to the neighboring territories, the fields will grow bigger in the future, and the blessings of the forest are abundant. It shouldn't be a bad thing to have a lot of such vaults when you think about the time when you picked too much.
There is also a preservation method that leaves the crop without daring to harvest it in autumn and locks it in the snow that has fallen, and it is similar to putting vegetables in a basement packed with snow.
... starvation is a fatal thing to suffer, not just at that time, but for a long time to come, so I want to do everything I can.
By the way, the work on the mountain north where the monsters appeared is quite dangerous... but for now, it doesn't seem to be a particular problem.
In any case, Goldia, Aisa, and Eli were both quite good, and so were the Narvants. Thanks to the Serchis, we could avoid the danger of a surprise attack... If there were monsters that Goldia and the others could not defeat, we could quickly escape.
If the dragon doesn't come out, there's no problem at all... when the dragon comes out, it's my turn, but nothing like that has happened so far.
It seems that the Narvants are making weapons for the Dragons... but it seems that they are too busy making gear for the Sergei and the others in building those basements, and they are far from being finished every day.
...... when I think about such a thing in the square while training after meals, I feel a stinging gaze poking through me.
That gaze has been directed at me lately... specifically since the day the guest house was active.
The main gaze of that gaze was Arner... Since that day, Arner has been staring at me like a piercing gaze in the middle of chores, eating, or just in his spare time.
That's why Arnault is like that… Maybe it's because of the stories of Aering and the marriage brought by the Duke of Sarsus who came to the guest house.
The unrealistic story of marrying two princesses was completely rejected... It seems that Lord Tharshus was not serious... but there were still things I thought Arnault would do.
For Arnault, the names of the two princesses were completely recognizable as [the name of the enemy]... and I was acutely stingy about what I was going to do... but I turned to my gaze, and when I finished training while being exposed to such gaze, I... I wonder what it was all about, and I let out a big sigh.
