"Really, Ars? Whatever it takes, it's useless. The snowy mountains aren't supposed to be so easy to cross, even for Ars."

"Well, maybe. But that's why I hate throwing Tanatos out."

"You've been buying him a lot."

Well, we fought the Immortal Bone Dragon together once. I wouldn't be here right now without him. That's why he saved my life. "

"But what about the Kingdom of Fontana? I'm curious about the Marshall Mercenaries, but I also need to be aware of the movements of other nobles."

"I'll leave that to Leon. If you call me if anything happens, in the worst case, I'll be back on my way. Besides, we can't start a truce as long as we're negotiating."

"I see. Then we have to sort out the soldiers who will follow Arus."

"Eh, are you pulling the army?

"Of course, we can't let them go alone. We'll need a communicator if we're gonna get in touch. Besides, crossing snowy mountains is dangerous, but if it succeeds, it has a huge impact. No, just knowing the terrain along the way is enough. Please be sure to send us a progress report along the way."

"I see. If you can find a mine that sleeps in a snowy mountain, it will definitely taste good. Okay, I'll make sure to report it to Fontana City every day, including maps."

"Yes, please. Please be careful."

Together with Tanatos, I decided to cross the snowy mountains and head east to Atmos.

I was given permission to use part of the army even though I was stunned, so I decided not to take him.

So we decided that this was not just Tanatos' return home, but an act for the military purpose of the Oriental Expedition as the Kingdom of Fontana.

Although there were only a few people from the east, the kingdom of Fontana began operations aimed at the eastern land, which was almost a fairy tale.

"Eh, Gran's not coming?

"Don't go, Ars. We have research here in Bootica territory. It's more important to make things here than on a trip you don't know when you'll be back."

I see. But is that okay? You know Grant over there, don't you? You don't want to see me anymore?

"Unlike Lord Tanatos, I came here prepared. I thought it would be very difficult and I would never be able to go back. That's why I already have my mind sorted."

I see. Well, we were talking about the distance between Grand's country of origin and Atmos' village, so this time it's okay. But I need you to help me get there. Is this how you prepare to cross the snow mountain?

After I finished explaining to Leon and the others, I visited Grand, who is working with Luke and the others in Bootica territory.

Just like Tanatos, Gran, who has crossed the snow mountain from the east, is asking me to come with him.

However, my invitation was simply declined.

Apparently, it is more important to make things in Bootica territory than to go home.

Well, that would be fine.

I'll let you do what Gran likes.

I can't help but take someone I don't want to go over the mountains with snow-capped altitudes.

"I'm not saying that you're ready to cross the mountain, but Ars has never climbed a mountain as tall as a snowy mountain? In the first place, how do you plan to cross that mountain?

"Oh, that's right. Surely you can't lick the mountain. I think it's okay because I'm thinking about it, but I'm thinking about doing something called polar law."

"Is it polar law? Is that how you cross the mountain?

"One of the ways to climb a mountain. Don't you know the base camp method? Instead of simply carrying luggage and crossing the mountain as a way to climb, I think I'll find a way to build a base along the way."

"Build a base. I see, I'm not trying to cross the mountain while creating a place where I can rest."

"That's right. I'll make the building magically. So, we aim to cross the mountain while resting at our base at a distance that we can easily travel in one day. That's how I think about crossing my snowy mountain."

I started explaining the Polar Law to Gran.

That said, it is a way of listening on television, etc., that I have never actually done.

But I still think it's much safer than simply carrying your stuff across the mountain.

There are many mountains that are terribly high, such as the Great Snow Mountains or the Great Snow Mountain System.

However, even though we cross the mountain, we do not climb to the highest peak.

We go to the mountains and valleys to the east.

It's a road without a path, and I don't know what's going to happen.

Probably a lot of mental stress.

That's why I'm going to use my magic sparingly to make a safe place to rest and move around.

In the case of the original polar method, once a base camp has been made, it is necessary to have personnel at the base camp to carry food and necessary supplies from below.

This means that piston engagements are required to return to and from the lower boundary and the base camp, or the base camp and the base camp multiple times.

But this time, I will not have a piston attendant to take only a limited number of people.

Or you don't need it.

Anyway, I have a convenient item called a magic bag.

Sometimes I came to see Gran, but more than that, I came to this boutique to have Luke use Synthetic to mass produce a magic bag.

A simple magic bag that is not a luxury gift given to nobles or knights instead of territory, but has no practical problems.

They make it and stuff it with food, firewood, clothes, etc.

That way, you can quickly change to a picnic by offering a bag that can hold storage like a warehouse without having to carry heavy luggage up the mountain.

I prepared some food, some regular stuff, and some cans.

There may be situations where you may not be able to cook over there.

It would also be a great spiritual point to have something to eat just by opening the can.

And the clothes.

Make sure you have as many warm clothes as possible.

No matter how much I can use Ice Spirit Summon to summon Ice Spirits and reduce the cold, it doesn't make my body warm.

Besides, it will somehow reduce the risk of the climbers being totally destroyed when they leave me or die for some reason.

For the rest, do you want to prepare a map and compass?

If there are communicators, you can also depict the exact terrain by simply [previewing] the visible land on paper.

The snowy mountain landscape will change easily, but it will be helpful.

However, it is difficult to make a map from the landscape alone.

I also prepared a compass.

If we don't go the wrong way, the risk of distress should be reduced.

And here comes the final slap.

Valkyrie will be the best way to cross the snowy mountains.

I also decided to take the horns this time.

Valkyrie is very resistant to the heat and cold, even without horns, and probably withstands the cold of the snowy mountains.

However, it would be better if there were horns where you could use magic to cross that snowy mountain.

It's not just that you can use magic, but you have Share magic across the herd, so you can use magic like hot water.

And Valkyrie used to tell me how to find a hot spring.

If anything happens in extreme nature, it must be perceived and communicated sooner than we humans.

Thus, I prepared as much as I could and made plans to take 3000 Oriental expeditionaries and Tanatos to the east.
