Alright, let's strengthen the defense capabilities of this variant.
"Hey, Ars. You're not going to Atmos?
"Oh, I'm sorry, but wait a minute, Tanatos. You told Sula that the forces that attacked Atmos were stationed in the village, right? Don't prepare for anything. It's dangerous to go to the village."
"That's true....."
"Even though the wound has healed, Lyla is in a weak state. It would be better to eat, move your body, and regain your sense of combat."
"Are you taking Lyla home?
"Of course. I wonder why I used magic to heal her. And Tanatos said that Atmos warriors are stronger than women, right?
"Oh, yeah. Atmos warriors are strong, men and women alike. Okay, I'll train Lyla."
"Please."
I have decided to rename the village Sula heads as a variant and make it mine.
If it was true, I could have gone straight to Atmos, but apparently they were mining stones.
If we don't grasp what the situation is, we won't be able to do anything even if we go home.
That's why I decided to sit on this variant once.
There is also another reason to pause here.
Everything just came out of the extreme environment of snow and monsters called the Great Snow Mountain.
We will need to give the soldiers who have arrived here as the Oriental Expeditionary Force rest.
However, those who could use Barca's magic were still less tired.
After using Meditation magic, you can sleep overnight and get well both physically and mentally.
It meant not just not being tired, but having less mental burdens even in extreme conditions.
However, the Oriental Expeditionary Army has a small number of combatants and scouts.
They cannot use the magic of Barca.
In other words, [meditation] did not solve physical and mental fatigue.
If you finally make it to where you can see people, there is a possibility that invisible fatigue will blow up at once.
The holidays were absolutely necessary.
"Well, before that, we can create an environment where you can rest slowly. Place everyone in position. Let's build a defensive position."
Then, as soon as I arrived at the variant, I decided to demolish the village.
Nah, what a thing... I didn't expect this settlement to become such a fortress..... "
Sura. What do you say we get a pretty good defense, huh?
What is Arus going to fight here? Do we really need defenses like fortresses surrounded by walls in these empty settlements?
It's like a fortress, but isn't this wall tall enough for Atmos warriors to jump over? I really want to build a wall higher than this. In the meantime, I decided to put up with it at this height. "
A few days of work resulted in land surrounded by walls in the village.
As I told Sula, this time we are surrounded by walls made of [wall architecture] that are 10 meters tall.
However, if we were to fight the Atmos warriors for some reason, this wall would be a minor obstacle.
If so, I wanted to use a higher [Atmos Wall], but this time it would be fine.
Now we have created enough space for 3,000 Oriental Expeditionaries and Valkyries.
But what the hell is that? I thought you were planting crops in the winter?
That's a glass greenhouse. I'm setting fire in there and raising the temperature. With clear glass surrounded by sunlight, you can grow crops even in winter. I'm planting a hatsuka that I can harvest right now. "
"... wow. Can you harvest crops even at this time of year if you go to Ars? So, what's that? It seems strange and cold has faded since it was placed, but that's all."
Oh, that one. That's an ice-sucking stone. Some of the variants keep producing Ice Sperm. I made ice absorbing stones so that the cold could be reduced without ice sperm. "
Hah, hah... You can manipulate it freely until the cold of winter. "
The variant is a temporary base in the east, but we've decided to give it some functionality.
Not only were they enclosed by walls, but also glass greenhouses were installed.
Even so, we currently use flame ore to heat the glass greenhouse, but flame ore is also a precious item.
Either way, we have to prepare firewood for the greenhouse, but it may be too costly.
Well, we'll think about continued use later.
Besides that, we have something new for the variant.
I mean, I made something new that had never been in Vulcania before.
It is an ice-sucking stone found in the Great Snow Mountain.
It is a clean stone like clear ice, but it is of a strange nature.
Absorb the surrounding cold.
Where this ice absorbing stone is present, it can withstand extreme cold temperatures without the help of ice sperm.
This was certainly true even at higher altitudes in the Great Snow Mountains.
And this ice-absorbing stone seems to have successfully hit the stone, or soil system, judgment.
In other words, when I sent magic to the ice absorbing stone [memory preservation], I was able to reproduce it with my magic.
Whatever ice absorbing stones I just installed in this variant hid, I created them with magic.
Incidentally, the ice absorbing stone that was first installed was just a big clear stone, but sometime Paul, the climber, finished the work.
As if they were making ice masterpieces, they were slamming the pattern with a wooden hammer and shredding the ice absorbing stone with a blade.
The next time I saw him, he described me riding the Valkyrie in ice sucking stone.
Normally, I would complain if I did such a thing, but this is more detailed than I expected, and the moment I saw it, I accidentally said, "Wow."
After all, it seems that the nature of absorbing the surrounding cold has not been damaged, so I somehow forgave it.
"But this ice-sucking stone is pretty good."
"That's right, Mr. Ars. Why not install it in the cities of Vulcania and Fontana?
"Do you agree, Elvis? I mean, it's good for the city, but maybe we should try a little more in the snowy mountains. It'll be easier to get around."
"Oh, that's good. It helps to move. Well, perhaps it's none of your business."
Sort of. I can get home in no time with a transfer stone. "
I also had a conversation with Elvis, who was with Sula.
Elvis is right, this ice-absorbing stone will definitely help in Vulcania and beyond.
After all, winter is really cold, so it is really worth it to make the cold a little better.
Moreover, we have crossed the Great Snowy Mountain to this point, but we want to make effective use of it in the future, as we have acquired the land called Variant here.
To that end, it would be better to continue trading east and west across the Great Snow Mountains.
To do that, I would like to increase the number of ice absorbing stones so that I can pass a little along the route over the snow mountain.
But personally, I don't have to bother crossing the snowy mountains anymore.
Why did you bring Valkyrie with you on this Oriental expedition with horns unfit for battle?
It was, of course, to make a way.
Valkyrie is able to share magic throughout the herd with her own unique magic Share , which means she has a lot more magic to use than soldiers.
Besides, you can use magic from your feet while you're on the move.
In the case of humans, if you try to use magic such as Road Laying , you need to put your hand on the ground.
However, Valkyrie continued to use magic as she walked across the snowy mountains on a four-legged walk.
[Landing] and [Road Laying] to create roads along the way from west to east.
As a result, the installation of a transfer stone in this eastern variant allowed for instantaneous travel to and from the cities of Vulcania and Fontana.
This made it possible for me to return home temporarily and to attend the New Year's celebrations of events in the city of Fontana.
