309 – Yeti (1)

Now that you have a firm goal, all that’s left is preparation. I got ready without delay.

Frozen, located at the very top of the North, is a region famous for the coldest weather in the world.

However, this does not mean that it boasts ridiculous coldness like the North Pole or Antarctica, and it is convenient to think of it as roughly similar to Russia.

To put it more simply, it is the North that seems to appear in novels. However, the northern people are characterized by the fact that they were once barbarians like the Tartars.

As many years passed, it was incorporated into the Matra Empire and was able to obtain the title of principality.

“Are there any characteristics unique to Northerners? Are most of them calm like Professor Sarah?”

“Most people have little smiles and are very patient. Also, many of them have ice-blue hair.”

Northerners are excellent at fire or cold magic. It’s a bit duplicative, but there’s a reason.

First of all, the reason why it excels at cold magic is due to natural reasons. The reason the hair is blue is because it absorbs the energy of cold.

Fire magic is a product of a lot of know-how accumulated for ‘survival’. Even if it’s not magic, it’s extremely strong.

“The Frozen Duchy is famous for its abundance of resources. Frozen’s ancestors realized this and used it as a bargaining chip. Now, it has emerged as a very important country.”

“Resources? “What kind of resources do you want?”

“There are a lot of mountains, including Olympus. So there must be quite a few minerals.”

There are a lot of powerful monsters in proportion to that. In particular, the monsters that inhabit Olympus are comparable to those deep in the Forest of Chaos.

Depending on the situation, it may be worse than that, but at least there are no snow storms or avalanches in the Forest of Chaos.

However, there is an entity in Olympus that artificially causes avalanches. If you let your guard down, you’ll be hooked.

“Brother Sivar. Are you really going to climb Olympus?”

“I’m going.”

“There is another way…”

Rise spoke and then close his mouth. I don’t think there’s a better way to do it.

Not just her, but me as well. It is questionable whether the medicinal herbs that only appear in legends actually exist, and it is also questionable whether they will work.

Currently, the Lord’s soul and memories are slowly regressing to the past. It is not possible to store backups separately like on a computer.

‘I have no choice but to do it. You have to do it absolutely.’

I wanted to grasp at straws. You can’t just sit back and hope for a miracle.

Someone said It is said that God does not give miracles directly, but He gives opportunities to create miracles.

For now, it’s best to do what you can. That’s why I was able to make up my mind.

“Brother Sivar. If you are really going, I can help you. Just learn one skill before you go.”

“What technology?”

“Olympus is a perpetual snow mountain covered in snow. So, there must be a significant amount of snow accumulated. Especially now that it is winter, it will be even worse. It will be easier to learn how to walk on the accumulated snow. “

I was able to immediately understand what Rize was trying to teach. It is difficult to call him a light engineer, and he is more of a know-how.

It would be easier to buy her snow shoes separately, but I have no idea how long they will last. It may just take up time.

Moreover, it will be useful when you visit Tatar in the future. His feet could have gotten wet when crossing the desert.

“How many days will it take?”

“Three days is enough.”

“Okay. Let’s do it right away.”

It is better to prepare thoroughly than to go blindly. If you go there blindly, you may end up wasting time.

“Then I will look for clothes suitable for mountain climbing.”

“I will research more herbs. There may be other herbs.”

My acquaintances also supported me diligently. Everyone came together with one mind and one intention to cure Lord’s curse.

Among them, I was the most desperate. As time passed, I became more impatient, but I held it down firmly.

“But are you going alone? Shouldn’t you take at least one person with you?”

During preparations, Luna brought up her concerns. It was indeed a legitimate concern, so other people’s eyes turned to me.

I feel like I want to go with someone else too. However, the ‘environment’ of Olympus alone is very fierce.

It is similar to Everest on Earth. It wasn’t even the Amazon, it was just hiking, but deaths continued to appear one after another.

Even as technology develops, it is easy to lose your life the moment you let your guard down. And here it is even worse than that.

“I’ll go alone. It’s too dangerous.”

“Hmm… What about the saint? Can’t you come with me?”

“I must stay and nurse Mr. Rhodes. We must find a way to delay the curse.”

At least Rize will be of help, but she has to stay here and take care of Rod.

As time passes, Rod’s memories will gradually return to the past, and in severe cases, they will return to before he took office as president.

If this happens, there is no choice but to say something about the current state of the road. The only person who can stop it is Rize.

Because I had to force myself to keep Rod in the room. If this is not possible, you have no choice but to press with force.

“So, preparations aside, how do I get there? Isn’t Frozen too far from here?”

“It’s not that far. Just go all the way northwest of the Vatican.”

“I think it would take a few days by carriage…”

“Yes, by carriage.”

Coming back is the problem, going is not difficult. There are two people who are kneading the space like clay right now.

If you cut or destroy the space a few times, you will soon arrive at Frozen. Wouldn’t this be a problem?

“If you ignore space in the first place, you will be treated like a VIP wherever you go. It’s okay to ignore it.”

“Uh…Is that still okay?”

“What can they do? They have to overcome it.”

As Grace said, you will have to struggle. Regardless of time and place, power is a gangster.

Of course, both Rize and Lord are conceptual people, so they pass fairly. Since the matter is a matter, there is nothing we can do.

Approximately three days have passed since then, and I have received all the support I can from the people around me.

“Here’s the storage bag. It’s best to put it with ice and ice. I read it in a book and it said that if the temperature is high, it melts like snow.”

“Thank you.”

Along with this, I also gained knowledge about medicinal herbs. It was information I knew nothing about.

Olympus is a perpetual snow mountain, so there will be ice all around. If you’re lucky, you might get ice that doesn’t melt.

In places with extreme environments, such as volcanoes or snowy mountains, ‘spirits’ tend to appear. And if you exorcise the spirits, you can obtain essence.

If you put it together with that essence, you’ll have more than enough to bring home. The most important thing is to find Sehon Bingcho.

“All preparations are complete. Then, let’s leave. Mr. Rod?”

“I’m not sure what’s going on… But I’ll figure it out first.”

Rod, who had lost his memory, was confused but accepted Rize’s request. His sword moved fluidly and cut the air.

For reference, this is a black Usk curved sword. The sword he used was destroyed in the battle against lies.

Maybe that’s why every day as the day passed, people asked me where the sword had gone. And he always doubted me.

‘Why do you doubt me…’

I guess I caused a lot of accidents. Even if I lost my memory, I see that I clearly remember my existence.

Even though I felt relieved, my worries were gradually building up. As time passes, Rod will not remember me.

-Clap!

As the space was cut off, a scenery I had never seen before unfolded. I checked my condition before going in.

A fur hat and fur gloves that cover the entire head. From what I heard, it was made from bear skin.

Just like Rod did before, he looks just like a hunter when he holds a shotgun.

‘It’s warm, it’s warm.’

I wonder how many days these clothes will last. The moment we fight, it will be tattered.

Moreover, we need to pay attention to hygiene. They advised that no matter how cold the weather is, you should wash your face once a week or once a fortnight.

To be honest, I’m not sure if I’ll have time to shower. I’m just going to ignore everything and focus on Sehonbingcho.

-Clap!

Byzantine only needed to cut space once, but Frozen goes much further than that.

Because of this, she moved by cutting the space more than once. Every time she moved, she felt the weather getting colder.

-Wheee!

Eventually, her eyes were able to overcome the weak frost. Perhaps because it is a winter country, everything around is pure white.

And in front, a huge mountain rose tall. It is a huge perpetual snow mountain that you cannot see the end of even if you raise your head all the way.

Olympus is famous for being the highest mountain in the world. I wonder if this is what it felt like to witness Everest in person.

I have to climb that mountain and risk everything on uncertain possibilities.

“Mr. Sivar. We’ll just go.”

“Be careful.”

While I was looking up at the mountain in a daze, Rize and Rod, who had followed me, returned.

To be exact, it was just as I was about to return. I came to my senses and called Rod.

“I…Grandpa.”

“Hmm? Me?”

“··· ···”

When I called him grandpa, Rod looked at me with wide eyes. I was moved by that reaction.

A promise to call each other by a more comfortable title. That promise was completely forgotten. The curse progressed too quickly.

However, this cannot be cause for concern. I spoke quietly, holding on to my heart that was about to collapse.

“······ Stay healthy.”

“Are you the only one who can do it? Come back healthy.”

Rod seemed like nothing was wrong, he smiled and waved his hand. I also waved my hand.

Soon, Rod and Rize came back completely. All spaces cut with the sword have been restored.

I looked at the place they had left with mixed feelings and then turned my head back.

Olympus, standing tall as if it would pierce the sky, caught my eye.

“Haa…”

I took a step forward with a heavy heart. I risked everything on the slim probability.

Will I be able to achieve the miracle I want? I was more than worried, I was afraid.

‘I have to do it. ‘Unconditionally.’

I gathered my strength again and headed to Olympus.

“No. Fuck.”

And as soon as I reached the entrance to Olympus, I couldn’t help but pour out double insults.

Olympus was not just a mountain.

“There are multiple mountains…?”

It was a ‘mountain range.’

*****

It had been about a month since the monster attack occurred at the academy.

There were no major victims, but it was a major incident that could have caused a big problem.

It is natural for countries to have conflicts with each other due to this issue. The situation was not good from the beginning.

Even though it wasn’t an appropriate justification, it was enough to keep them in check.

Of course, there were some countries that were free from this situation. A representative place is Frozen.

Frozen is a country rich in resources but famous for its bitter cold all year round.

In addition, because it was a country founded by a tribe that was once a barbarian, it is famous as a fighting people along with the Tatars.

And recently, strange rumors have started floating around in Frozen.

[A new monster has appeared in Olympus.]

[The frequency with which monsters living on Olympus come down has increased due to losing competition for food.]

A change occurred in Olympus, the largest mountain and mountain range.

No matter how harsh the environment, those who survive. Even though the weather was cold, there was a forest-like environment.

If we were to compare the Earth, it would be convenient to think of it as Siberia. Even though the weather is cold, the forest remains strong.

The problem is that for Frozen, the mountains are nothing more than a food source. Minerals are in mines, and mines are contained in mountains.

If a problem occurs on the mountain, there is no choice but to immediately investigate and find the cause. If a new monster had appeared, it could never be neglected.

[The King of Frozen dispatches an investigation team…]

[The witnesses are speaking together. The new monster is not interested in humans.]

[The type of monster is believed to be humanoid, and in its hands is a weapon believed to be an ax…]

[According to eyewitness testimony, the entire body is covered with pure white fur. Looking at this, we assume it is an object that has not been discovered.]

Although it did not cause direct harm to people, it had a significant impact due to the emergence of new predators.

A representative example is that monsters that lived in the mountains came down. Most of those entities were trembling with ‘fear’.

[The new monster is named ‘Yeti’. Avoid stimulation as much as possible.]

[Where did this monster appear? What will be the impact on the mining industry?]

When Frozen was anxious about the appearance of a powerful monster.

“······Where on earth are you?”

The person in charge was climbing aimlessly without knowing anything.
