Chapter 178 Needle Ice Peak

"I checked everything thoroughly, but if Shinya does something terrible with all her might break the thin part like Eisen's thorn, so be careful.

"I'm not going to break any tools with all my might, so it's okay.

"You don't know when it's a life-threatening situation, do you? I'm here for you when something happens...."

"Okay. I'll be as careful as I can.

"I'd appreciate it if you could.

I think you want to tell her that there is something worrying about Sena.

Making tools for people with separate stats is a lot of trouble. It would be superfluous if it had a special shape.

Perhaps if it weren't for Senna, we would only have been able to make a broken substitute with a little effort.

Gagga!

When I kick Eisen's thorn into the ice wall, I make a noise and the ice grains fall.

Are you sure you can go?

"Oh, it's okay. Yo!"

He hung his weight on Eisen, stuck it to the ice wall, and climbed up using a pickle.

Buuuuu!

Though the third round, there is nothing to block the surroundings, and the wind that hits the mountain skin blows directly down.

"Fee! Cold wind!

When the wind hits the face, the surface of the face is cold enough to think it has frozen.

"Are you alright?!

"It's okay!

Respond to Nil's voice from below.

I thought the ice wall was rough, but it was unexpectedly rough. Is this what happens if the surface does not melt?

Even if you pierce a pickle or Eisen, the surface doesn't peel off, so you can climb up more than you thought.

Some of the tools Senna made me hold the rope to the wall.

It is a pile that is used by piercing the wall. After piercing, it has a return so that it does not come out easily.

At times like this, it's a climbing cam... I remember seeing in a movie or something that uses instruments that are fixed when inserted into a gap and opened, but when I climb up the needle ice peak, I need a considerable number of them, and I omitted that I would not be able to make a fine object.

However, it seems that the pile was also made with various considerations, and even if it was stabbed, it did not destroy too much of the surrounding ice, and it explored a shape that would not fall out.

The job is meticulous and I can't really help it.

Drive the pile through the rope and climb further up.

"Half at last..."

I feel like I've climbed a lot, but I can see about half from the slice of ice that I finally saw. This is the first wall, and I'm worried about the future.

Believing in your body's status, you can finally reach a slice of ice as you go up without looking down.

"This... looks like there's no place to step..."

The view from where I finally arrived was that the slope continued a few meters away, and the cliff continued upwards...

The slope is so tight that if you don't stab and support Eisen, you'll slip off.

"There seems to be no place to fix it..."

Looking around, there is no place where ice and snow are likely to catch you.

"You can't pull it up... you have to climb it yourself..."

Put a pile on both sides of yourself and secure the body through the rope. It will not slip off even if you lie on your back.

Thereafter, they draw a magical formation and fire a single shot into the air to make the fireball look like Sena's underneath.

If one shot, come up, if two, I'll pull it up, so grab onto the rope. That's what I've decided.

After seeing the signal, Sena gently pulls the rope twice.

It's a sign to climb.

Hold the rope with both hands and stick the spine of the heel into the ice for when something happens.

It's impossible to pull it up, but I think I can...

If this were to happen, I would have looked into climbing and curiosity... could anyone imagine this happening...

Sometimes the rope shakes when Senna is climbing up.

I'd like to take a peek downstairs, but believe me, it's about to fall.

I think it took several times as long as I did, but I managed to hang Senna's arm on the edge of the cliff.

"Hah! We're here!

"Good luck.

When I grab her hand and help her climb up, Sena starts to stick herself next to me and secure herself.

"Still, you often come up with these tools, don't you?

"Coincidence, coincidence.

"Coincidence... hey!

Senna is as secure as I am, so you can rest assured.

Release the fireball again and Nil will climb.

Nil arrived safely, later than me, but earlier than Senna.

"Niu! Good luck!

"Thank you!

Me and Sena will hold hands and pull you up.

"It's higher than I thought..."

"Don't look down too much.

"Yes."

Last one is Rato.

Rats can't just climb up...

There are several ways, but this time, with one scaffold, we'll be able to climb.

Prepare another rope, attach the wooden plank removed from the inventory so that it is horizontal to the tip, lower it to half the edge of the cliff, and hold the rope with three people.

Because Rats are mentally connected, it is told that they are ready without giving a signal.

After a few seconds of light shock to the arm, the rat appears from the edge of the cliff as if it were flying.

Wow! It's sloping more than I thought, right?!

The rat claws up and holds the body at an angle.

I don't need a pickel.

"If it takes so long to cross one... it might take a lot of time to get up there.

"That's right... but if you hurry, you'll ruin things... right?

"I remember it as well as ever..."

Yes!

"Nil's right. Let's go with safety first.

Mummies can't become mummies. There is nothing like it in the current visual range, and we have to aim up until we find something.

Well... I don't even know if there is...

Climb the slope, climb the next wall in the same way... and then the next.

So he crossed three walls that day.

Beyond the third wall, there was a large ice wall with a pocket, and the floor was flat and horizontal, and the sky was red, so I decided to sleep there that day.

I said the floor surface was horizontal, but it was only natural, and there were ice pillars (roughness) growing on the ceiling and the floor surface, so I didn't sit very well, so I had to remove it first... but I managed to finish it and finally took a breath.

"Hyah! That's it for today!

Senna throws her hands and feet on the ice.

"Sena, good work. Tea, please.

Nil should be tired too, but he'll prepare tea immediately, Sena and I, and Rato milk.

"Thank you! I love Nil!

Bad and rising Senna hugs Nil.

"Ah! Your tea is overflowing!!

Ehehe. Sorry, sorry. "

Sena is a type that doesn't build any walls on trusted opponents, and she also feels comfortable with Nil.

Friendship expressions are quite straightforward, and Nil is also showing a bright smile as to whether she is happy with them.

Maybe the closest friend I've ever had...

"Nil can do anything and it's amazing. We can only blacksmith.

"What do you say? Senna is the only one who can climb the needle ice peak this way.

From my point of view, Sena is better.

Really?

Yes!

Ehehe. I'm getting irritated.

Senna talks to Nil as if she were an old friend.

More of these people will change their awareness of slavery on the continent...

My thoughts may be sweet, but I imagine such a world.

"That's right. Nil, how's it going around the shackles?

"Thanks, I'm fine.

In fact, some of the tools Senna made me wear inside Nil's shackles.

Metal is a fast thermal conductivity, that is, the speed at which heat is transferred. It gets hot as soon as it gets hot, and cools as soon as it gets cold.

The metal placed in the cold becomes frightening cold.

Many people must have felt the car bonnet get as cold as ice in the winter morning.

The same is true of nil shackles, which are incredibly cold when climbing these snowy mountains, and when the skin touches such metals, they become frostbitten and necrotic.

When Nil's neck and limbs didn't rot, he modified his shackles with a special mineral that didn't transmit heat.

In the meantime, mineral appraisal results are…

[Condiate… Minerals that are always at room temperature and not affected by outside temperatures. Very rare.]

This mineral was also found on the continent, but it is rare in small quantities.

It appears to have been contained in minerals harvested at Needle Ice Peak, and Senna bought and made Condiate from Angak herself.

I don't know how much money I gave you, but it should never be cheap.

Of course, I said I'd pay that amount, but Sena...

"It's a gift from us to Nil, so I won't take the money!

I didn't ask.

Nil was also quite afraid, but eventually Senna didn't break and became sweet to words.

"I'm sorry. I wish I could untie you...."

"No, it's my husband's, and it proves that Sena and I have become best friends.

Hmm! Nil is really cute! You bastard!

Senna was honestly delighted to hear Nil's words.

It's a really smiling sight.

By the way, Nil is thinking of paying Senna back.

I want to give it back, but I was definitely consulted because I don't know what I can prepare and what is right for me.

If Nil finds anything he wants to give, he'll be happy with anything. Even if it was expensive, I told you not to hesitate to tell me because I would definitely get it.

Considering the amount of money Nil can get from the monster materials that Nil has defeated together, there will be nothing you won't get from what you sell, and even if I do, I won't be reluctant to give it back.

We haven't decided what's good yet, but we'll find something good.

"I'm having fun, but it's hard to sit on the ice, so let's just get ready for camp first.

Yes!

Sena is supposed to be tired, but she doesn't show it to her face and behaves well.

Thanks to you, the place is brighter and we feel lighter.

When I'm ready to camp, I'll have Senna sit down, rest, and start preparing dinner with Nil.

Juw!

If you use the fire for too long, the surrounding ice is likely to melt, so just make a simple bake. I just cut bread and vegetables.

The good smell and sound of meat burning echoes through the depressed ice walls.

"It smells delicious! The salivation is coming out! What kind of meat are you baking?

"Waterbird meat. Put the guy you killed in the dungeon in the inventory.

I just baked it with the garlic fruit after the seasoning.... "

From the rising air, your nasal cavity is pouring, and your stomach smells hungry.

Easy to cook, but nourishing enough.

"When the color of the surface changes and gets crispy, it's done. It's easy... but that's why it's so delicious...

"Come on, come on!

If you can't wait, Sena makes your hands and feet stick.

Place the baked meat on a large plate in a lavish and crispy dish.

"Salad and bread are ready.

"It looks delicious!

"Let's eat and go to bed early.

Yes!

Sena is behaving fairly well, but tiredness should have already peaked. I thought about it and made it crisp...

When you put your teeth up and carry them to a slit...

Parry!

The teeth that hit the fragrant baked skin crack the surface and make a pleasant sound.

Afterwards, the oil that spreads into the mouth is filled with flavor and smooth taste, and the moisture that relieves it considerably.

"Hafu! Hafu!"

I can't feel the flavor spreading into my mouth at first because of the heat.

However, as you slowly approach your body temperature, the smell of happiness spreads gently.

"Nmahh...."

The warm food you eat in the cold is also exceptionally delicious.

The temperature that passes from your mouth to your throat, stomach, and body.

"Hahhhhh...."

When you exhale too delicious, a pure white and dark breath spreads into the air.

"Ghhhh..."

Nil and Sena both rang their throats at the same time and threw them right into their mouths.

"Hafu! Hafu!"

They both cool the heat in their mouths just like me.

Hmm! Delicious! What is this?! Is Waterbird so delicious?!

"It tastes different from Rockbird, right?!

"Nyak fruit works well and comes with salt and pepper.

"Pepper?!

Pepper seems to be a precious item on this island. Sena is surprised. It's a precious commodity on the continent, and it's only natural on an island.

"Eat more before it gets cold.

"I can eat without being told! If you don't eat this delicious food, it's your earliest sin!

So... the Gonzo guy ate this delicious food in the dungeon...?

"Well, since we were together.

"Forgive me..."

I'm afraid of food resentment... total resentment... no, not even resentment. That's right.

"There's also bread and salad.

"In a snowy mountain like this, this food... it could be the best luxury in a sense.

"Let's see... maybe.

"Enjoy your luxury!

Sena chewed at the meal one after the other with joy.

By the way, Rat is already haunted by meat.

I made quite a bit of it, but I ate it perfectly.

"Phew... maybe you ate too much..."

"I have a bed, so why don't you lie down?

"Hmm... I will..."

Senna enters the tent.

You will fall asleep.

"What about magic tools today?

"No, let's stop today.

It was an unfamiliar mountain climb, and you must be more tired than you think.

"I see.

Nil offered me after-dinner tea.

There's too much Nil left... a level the family needs.

"Do you want to go further from here tomorrow?

"Let's take a look around before we head up. As I saw earlier, it is narrow, but it seems to fall out on the side.

"I see.

"It's been a tough time, but... did you get to the fourth?

"Please wait..."

Nil looks at the overall view of the needle ice peak from the bottom to see where it is.

"Well... I'm around here now, so... that's right. I think it is around the fourth round.

"The longer the needle ice peak goes up, the harder it gets. Today is like just a greeting.

Tomorrow will be tougher and tougher.

Yes...

"Of course I care, but look closely at Sena.

Even if you are tired, it will be difficult to say that you are tired, and if you look at Sena and find Nil impossible, you can dig a hole nearby and rest. Even if I had to.

"I see.

I told Nil, but this is the same thing about me. We must look not only at Sena, but also at Nil. Besides, it's about me.

Rat... he won't get tired before us.

Buuuuu!

When I was talking to Nil, I felt that the sound of the wind running outside the pocket was bigger than before, and I turned to the entrance.

A fierce wind blows, and white grains rush through in an instant from top to bottom.

"It's a blizzard..."

"It looks like there's going to be snow tomorrow..."

"Somewhere, the new snow is prone to avalanches..."

"Is it dangerous to leave tomorrow?

"It depends on what the weather will be like tomorrow... but if it's not a blizzard, I think we should move on.

This mountain is long in length, but not as wide as the horizontal. That's why I don't think it's as snowy as it gets...

Overall, the information will be fluffy... but I don't think it's wrong.

I think I should be more wary of thin ice or ice rifts called crevasses than snow on this climb.

Angak also said he fell on a crevasse under thin ice...

"I'm sorry for the ambiguity..."

"No! I didn't even know that without your husband!

"If you say so, you'll be saved.

"No..."

"Rat. I don't think monsters will show up here, but be vigilant. I'll put trap magic on the entrance..."

Okay! It's gonna be okay! Don't worry!

"Thank you.

This concludes our first day at Needle Ice Peak.

The next morning.

Me and Nil wake up, I sip the tea, Nil prepares breakfast, and Senna comes out of the tent with Mosomoso.

Ohaaaaaahh...

Senna, who is still sleepy, rubs her eyes and mixes them. After all, I was pretty tired yesterday.

From my point of view, it still looks fine... but I know that you shouldn't think by my standards because you've been treated out of common sense.

Let's ask Nil here.

"How's Senna?

"That's right... I think half a day will be fine.

If it doesn't work after half a day, I'll tell your husband there.

"I see... I see. Watch carefully.

"I see.

When Sena hears it, it's okay! It is visible to say, and I will tell you today's schedule after confirming that I can't hear it.

"How far are you going to go today?

"I haven't decided yet. First, look around in the fourth set and see where you can look around.

If we don't find Ice Hua, we'll climb again... but the weather's not so good, and the area is undetermined.

"Where can I go?

"It's a little narrow, but there's a way through.

From our perspective, to the left of the entrance. From there, there is a narrow path that is likely to become scaffolding through the entire circumference.

"Rato's not gonna make it through, so I'm not answering.

Er! I wanted to go too!

"I don't know what to do. Patience.

Sorry, Sena. Can you stay with Senna?

"We?

"Isn't it pathetic that Rato's the only one who answers?

"Well... that's right. All right, all right.

"Thank you. Nil and I will check it out.

Yeah, I feel like I was able to rest naturally.
