"Look, I see a big snow mountain, Elvis."
"It's true, Master Ars. I used to watch it a lot when I was in the Urk district under Lord Byte, too, but it's been a long time. You're really going over that big snow mountain now."
"Did you notice, Captain Elvis? I was gonna leave the command of this Eastern Expeditionary Force to you, but you want me to stop?
"Hey, what are you talking about, Master Ars? I'll do it. Let me do it. I'll follow you everywhere for Master Ars."
"Right. Nice to meet you.... So was it Paul recommended by Elvis? You can show me from here."
"Yes, I understand. This way."
We're going inside Atmos, calling it the Eastern Expeditionary Force.
There was a big snow mountain standing in front of us.
We have to cross this mountain from now on.
Lyon told me to go inside Atmos with Tanatos, and I was supposed to take the army.
So, I recruited an applicant from the Fontana Army, but the first person on board that story was Elvis, who was in Vulcania.
This Elvis is a young man who came to Vulcania shortly after the formation of the Knights of the Barca.
After being admitted to the Barca Army, he set up a cage castle battle against an army opponent led by the Pessi of the Urk family, together with an experience that could be round-burned by [Blackie].
After that I was in Bartonia for a while under the name of my part-time brother, but later I pulled through and now I was serving in Vulcania.
He is also a man married to Lucica, a woman seeker, who also participated in a battle in Percival's labyrinth.
Apparently, this Elvis believes me a little too much.
Because of this, I decided to put this guy as my leader and put the Eastern Expeditionary Army together.
It is easier to entrust command to those who follow my word faithfully as they will cross Snow Mountain in extreme conditions.
Plus, before I climbed Mount Snow, I was wondering if Elvis would have some knowledge of the mountain.
And it was the recommendation of the talent that Elvis did as the first job promoted as captain of the Eastern Expeditionary Force.
He asked me if I could take a man named Paul with me in the Urk district.
Paul was a famous freak there in the Urk district.
They say it's commonly called "Paul Who Wants to Die," etc.
Originally a man from a knight's house serving the Wolk family, he has a history of becoming a Baltic knight when his part-time brother placed that knight's house under his control.
He's the man with the strength there as a knight.
That Paul was supposedly a freak because he was an unmatched mountain lover.
He was always thinking about the Great Snow Mountain, and one day he was about to cross the Great Snow Mountain to the east.
Besides, it wasn't just imagination, it was actually moving to action.
Many times I went deep into Mount Big Snow and kept climbing the mountain.
As a result, he worried about his surroundings after many shipwrecks.
but he never stopped climbing the mountain, even though he went missing in countless snow mountains.
That's why my nickname wanted to die.
But that Paul might help this time.
I've never had experience crossing Big Snow Mountain, but I'm sure you still know more about the mountain than I do.
More importantly, the conversation I had with Paul the first time made me like this guy.
Because when I asked him why he was so obsessed with Snow Mountain, he replied, "Because there are mountains to cross there".
I never thought I could hear that response in this world.
Once, after resting his body in Bartonia, in the territory of his part-time brother, he headed for Mount Big Snow in earnest.
Under Paul's direction, the Eastern Expeditionary Force riding the Valkyrie enters the mountains.
"If what Paul says is right, will the cold be reduced where that strange stone is"
"Definitely, Master Ars. I have gone into the mountains many times myself, but I have encountered such strange stones several times. The cold is better around the stone than the rest, so I rested there and got a few things done."
"From what I've heard about Paul, is he absorbing the cold around him like an ice sperm? How's Tanatos? Was that what happened when you came over the mountain?
"Oh, if you ask me. Sometimes I think the cold was a little better in the snow. But I didn't think that was the effect of the stone. I wasn't tired."
"Right. Ma, I think it's actually best to take a look. Let's try to follow that stone as far as Paul knows."
According to the climber Paul's idea, there might be a secret to crossing the Great Snow Mountain.
Because if it's really snow and cold, there's no way people could have crossed this mountain with only a small amount of luggage from the east.
There must have been some key to success in crossing the mountain.
It was Paul's opinion that it might be in a strange stone in Mount Big Snow.
After many shipwrecks, Paul said he discovered the strange stone.
It looks more like a rock than a stone, or a crystal, or even a chunk of ice. With it, the cold is said to be better around it.
Maybe there was a spot in Big Snow Mountain where the cold calmed down like that, where I rested my body and moved on.
Suppose I were to name it Ice Stone?
Under Paul's guidance, head to where the ice-sucking stone is.
Moving on across Valkyrie's back, he came to the place.
On foot, in a mountain of distances that would take days, there was a big ice-crystalline stone with a don, and indeed the cold seemed different on the spot.
"Huh..., what's going on? Ice Fairies behave strangely."
"Hey, hey, Master Ars, it's cold. It's cold when the ice sperm leaves!
But then something strange happened.
The moment I approached the ice absorber, the ice sperm I was summoning started to move.
In order to reduce the cold in the soldiers while traveling in the Eastern Expeditionary Army, I used the [Ice Essence Summon] to apply the Ice Essence to each soldier to absorb the cold.
That said, the ice sperm was drawn away from the soldiers to the ice-sucking stone.
"You can't. I don't listen to the ice sperm. I can't stay away from the ice absorbers.... I can't help it, let's just say I can rest my body here today"
Maybe the ice absorbing stone is a comfortable place for the ice sperm.
As never before, ice sperms like balls of light gather around ice-sucking stones and fly fluffy without listening to me.
I had no choice, so I decided to make this a campsite.
I made a bunch of shelters with magic around the ice-sucking stones and decided to base them there.
