"Okay, so let's enhance the defense capabilities of the variants here"
"Hey, Ars. You're not going inside Atmos?
"Oh. I'm sorry, but wait a minute, Tanatos. Sura told you that there's a force inside Atmos that's attacking the inside right now. Don't get ready for anything. It's just dangerous to head inside."
"That's right..."
"And even though the wound has healed, Lyla is in a weak state. It would be better if you had dinner, moved your body, and regained your sense of combat."
"Are you taking Lyla inside, too?
"Of course not. What do you think I used magic to heal you for? Besides, Tanatos said Atmos warriors are strong even for women, right?
"Oh, yeah. Atmos warriors are strong men and women alike. All right, I'll work out Lyla."
"I asked."
I decided to change the name of the village where Sura is head to Variant to make it my dominion.
If it's true, I could have gone straight into Atmos, but apparently they're mining stones over there.
If we don't grasp a little more of what the situation is, we won't be able to do anything if we go inside.
So I decided to sit back on this variant once.
Besides, there is another reason to stop here once.
Anything but snow and demons have just slipped through extreme environments.
It will be necessary to give rest to the soldiers who have come this far as the Eastern Expeditionary Army.
Most of all, Barca's magic was still less exhausting.
If you use the magic of [meditation] and then go to sleep overnight, you will feel better physically and mentally.
That didn't simply mean I wasn't tired, it meant I had less mental strain, even in extreme conditions.
but the Eastern Expeditionary Army also has a small number but correspondents and scouts.
They cannot use the magic of Barca.
In other words, [meditation] did not provide a way to relieve physical and mental fatigue.
If we finally get to where we see people safely, it's possible that invisible fatigue will blow up at once.
The holidays were an absolute necessity.
"Well, you create an environment where you can get some rest before then. Place each person. We'll build a defensive position."
Thus, as soon as he arrived at the variant, he was to demonize the village.
'Oh, my God... I had no idea this settlement would be like such a fortress...'
"Sura. What do you say? It's a place with pretty solid defense, isn't it?
"What does Master Ars intend to fight here? Do we really need fortress-like defense facilities surrounded by walls in such an unparalleled settlement?
'Even though I say it's like a fortress, if these walls are high enough for the warriors of Atmos, why don't they just jump over? I'd really like to build a higher wall than this. In the meantime, I've decided to put up with you this time at this height.'
A few days of work made the land surrounded by walls within the village.
As I told Sura, this time it surrounds all sides with a wall 10 m high made of [wall architecture].
But if you ever fight an Atmos warrior under any circumstances, wouldn't this wall only be a little bit of an obstacle?
If so, I would have liked to use a higher [Atmos wall] or so, well this time it would be fine.
This would have forced us to create as many places as we could accommodate 3,000 Oriental Expeditionary troops and Valkyrie.
"But what the hell is that? Looks like you were planting crops to tell me it was winter?
'That's a glass greenhouse. I'm putting out a fire in there to increase the temperature. Surrounded by clear glass and sunlight, crops can be grown even in winter. I'm planting Hatsuka that I can harvest right now.'
'... wow. Can crops be picked even at this time of year if it falls on Master Ars? So, what's that? Wonder and the cold seem to fade since that was put down, but what the hell is that?'
'Oh, is that it? That's an ice-sucking stone. It is also a good idea to keep putting out ice sperm in variants. I made ice-sucking stones so that the cold could be reduced without ice sperm.'
'Ha, ha... You can manipulate yourself to the cold of winter.'
The variant is a tentative hub in the east, but we decided to let it have quite a function as well.
Not only was it surrounded by walls, but glass greenhouses and the like were also installed.
Even so, as it stands, flame ore is used to heat up the glass greenhouse, but flame ore is also a precious commodity.
All of them will have to be made available even with greenhouse-only firewood, but it may be too costly.
Well, we'll think about continued use later.
Other than that, the variants were provided with something new.
Or they made something new that wasn't even Vulcania before.
That's the ice-sucking stone I found in Mount Snow.
Clear, icy, clean stone, but this is strange in nature.
Absorb the surrounding cold.
Where there is this ice absorbing stone, it will be able to withstand extreme cold temperatures without the help of ice sperm.
This was definitely true even at higher altitudes in Mount Big Snow.
And this ice-sucking stone, but apparently it hit the judgment of the stone, or soil system, safely.
In other words, when I [saved my memory] while sending magic into the ice-sucking stone, I was able to reproduce it with my magic.
Now, whatever ice absorbing stone I put in this variant, it was created by me by magic.
By the way, the ice-sucking stone I first installed was just a big transparent stone, but it looks like at some point Paul, the mountaineer, did some fine work.
As if they were going to make ice work, they were tapping the pattern with a tonne of wooden gavel while they hit the blade and scraping the ice absorbing stone.
The next time I saw him, he described me on the Valkyrie as an ice-sucking stone.
I usually almost complain when I do that, but this was made into more detail than I expected, and the moment I saw it, I accidentally said "wow".
In the end, I somehow allowed it because the nature of absorbing the ambient cold doesn't seem to have been compromised.
"But this ice-sucking stone is pretty good."
"Right, Master Ars. Why not also install it in the cities of Vulcania and Fontana?
"You think so, Elvis? Or it's good for the city, but maybe we could try a few more in the snow mountains. It'll make it easier to get around."
"Oh, that's good. That'll help you move around. Well, maybe it doesn't matter to Master Ars."
"Sort of. I'll be home in no time with the transfer stone."
I also have a conversation with Elvis, who was by Sura's side.
As Elvis put it, this ice-sucking stone will always help even in Vulcania and elsewhere.
Anyway, it's really worth it to say how much better that cold is because it's really cold in winter.
Besides, I've come this far over Mount Big Snow, but I want to make more effective use of it in the future than I've got a land called Variant here.
To do this, you should probably still be able to trade east and west across Mount Big Snow in the future.
If we're going to do that, we want to increase the number of ice absorbing stones so that we can get a little through the route over Heavy Snow Mountain.
but as far as I'm concerned, I don't have to bother crossing Mount Snow anymore to get around.
Why did you bring a horned Valkyrie unsuitable for riding and fighting this Eastern Expeditionary Force?
That, of course, was there to make way.
Valkyrie can share magic throughout the herd by the intrinsic magic [shared] before him, so there will be far more magic available than the soldiers.
And then you can use magic from your feet, even on the move.
In the case of humans, we need to get our hands on the ground if we want to use magic such as [road laying].
but Valkyrie, traveling on four-legged foot, continued to use his magic as he walked across heavy snow mountains.
[Tidy up] or [lay down roads] so as to make a path on the road from west to east.
As a result, installing transfer stones in this eastern variant allowed instantaneous travel to and from the cities of Vulcania and Fontana.
This made it possible for me to go home temporarily and to attend the New Year's celebrations of the events taking place in the city of Fontana.
