"Okay, I guess it's time to make that one too"
Having created one of Valkyrie's gear, a hardened brick hoof, and finished spelling it, I decided to move on to my next move.
It's about the pantry.
Until now, food has been stored in very ordinary warehouses in the village of Vulca.
But I've always wondered about this food preservation.
With memories of my previous life, I lived all year round surrounded by constantly luxurious ingredients, which I took for granted.
However, the time is set for any food to be harvested, and a natural dish exists that at no other time can that food be spoken of.
I realized after reincarnating into this world that it was an unusual situation to be able to eat food at any time regardless of the season.
I can tell you that ever since I was born in this Vulcan village, I've always thought about food and lived.
Because so much so that I have constantly evolved the magic I dreamed of in my previous life to eat food.
But no matter how much food we created a spell called [soil improvement] to harvest, we could not extend the period of preservation.
At best, I took the method of drilling holes in the ground and storing them there, but still a little better than room temperature storage, and after harvesting them, they won't be able to eat them for a while.
Even if I made it into a preserved meal, there were things that I could and could not do, and I didn't achieve that much.
But I'm done with that, too.
I got a new way to save it.
New repository.
I created it in my own land.
Even so, I didn't make anything particularly unusual.
It's just a big warehouse.
However, the thickness of the walls of the warehouse was considerably thicker.
It created a space with no sunlight and no wind.
"Ice Spear"
Use magic inside that warehouse.
What I use is the ice magic I got named after Carlos, the Fontana family owner.
I've only ever been able to use magic about soil, no matter how hard I try to strengthen my flesh, but a magic called [Ice Spear] that I've been able to use since I was newly named.
Originally, this spell, which is the magic of attack on the battlefield, was even repeated into a warehouse of nothing.
[Ice spear] generally produces an ice column about the thickness and length of an adult male's arm, which is what fires it.
Its ice-column rolls down into the warehouse with the Gorongolon.
The same was true when we fought the Fontana Army before, but magically made ice doesn't dissolve and disappear fluorescently after a certain amount of time.
And so will the ice columns, so that what I have made of earthly magic will remain after that.
But naturally, the ice melts after time, unlike the soil.
So when I saved some ice, I splashed the crumbs from the top.
Yes, the warehouse I built was called the Ice Room.
Originally, ice stretched in ponds and so on is kept in a basement or something called an ice chamber, but when it is left on the surface of the ice with sawdust and so on, it continues to remain completely unmelted even in the absence of ice.
I decided to save that with ice magic that I made out of newly available ice magic.
Even so, I'm not the only one who can make ice.
Because since I was named by Carlos, those with the Barca surname in my child relationship have also been able to use ice magic [Ice Spear].
Thus, it was possible in Barca to create and preserve ice at any time of the year.
"But Lord Ars. Wasn't this ice room necessary? If you have Barca's name, you can make your own ice, so I don't think you need to bother saving it."
"What are you talking about, Gran? This ice was prepared for food preservation."
Why I built the ice room on purpose as a warehouse.
It was in the preservation of food from the beginning.
What I wanted to make wasn't a place to store ice.
I wanted to make a fridge.
I've never used it myself, but the old refrigerator didn't use electricity.
He said a refrigerator existed that put ice inside a refrigerator made of wood frames and cooled the inside of the refrigerator with that ice cold air.
I wanted to recreate that.
But I don't even need to keep it for home use.
We kept ice in a large warehouse, thereby providing space for food to be stored in a cold warehouse.
But it would also be natural to make a wooden refrigerator for home use separate from the warehouse.
When you say I gave you the Barca surname, that's not all the villagers.
Let's decide to sell ice to those who can't produce it themselves.
The advent of this ice-room-shaped refrigerator has led to quite a bit of sunshine for those that didn't have much sunshine until then.
Until now, of course, vegetables that were only eaten shortly after the harvest, as well as meat from the occasional large pigs, were able to be preserved, and my diet improved only slightly.
