by fnovelpia“I don’t think I’ll freeze to death at this level.”
After several days of construction on Torvar, provisions were made to keep out the cold and sleep in the same room as Assis.
First, the walls and floors were covered with insulation, and thermostatic stones were installed in every corner to emit heat when they sense the cold. There was even a sleeping bag made by Torvar.
It was only then that I could block out the cold. Of course, it wasn’t perfect. The cold air came in slowly, so it would be like sleeping in a tent with a sleeping bag in the middle of winter.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I can sleep well.”
“Do you really want to sleep with her like this?”
“What an obvious thing.”
How effective is it for increasing intimacy to talk about emotions in the same room during the emotional dawn of the night?
“But why do you see it that way?”
“That kind of person is a slave to a guy like you. Oh my god, God is defeated.”
No, I feel bad for being treated like that, considering how much I dedicate myself to my slaves. After all, I am the lifeblood of my daughter.
Torvar belatedly realized that fact and absentmindedly passed over the topic.
“Rather than that, isn’t it impossible to live like this for the rest of your life? It’s impossible to have a proper daily life.”
“That’s true.”
“So I thought about something… .”
My ears perked up at those words.
As far as I know, there is only one offer that Torvar could make to Asies at this time.
“I’m thinking about making a magic tool that can control cold air. What do you think?”
As expected.
The first main event of the liberation of Assis is the production of magical tools.
This is an event that occurs when you fill up the favorability rating of Torvar, who mainly makes accessories. If you miss this, you can say that the complete liberation of Assis is out of the question.
However, there is a necessary condition, and I cannot mention it first, so I pretended not to know and said.
“Of course you are welcome. If there was such a thing, why didn’t you make it a long time ago?”
“A foolish child. It just suddenly occurred to me while I was wondering if there was a way. And I can’t make it right away. I don’t have the necessary ingredients.”
“What is that material?”
“It’s Lazrite. It’s a jewel that contains the cold air of the frozen earth.”
Lazrite, a jewel that holds the cold of the frozen earth. As the saying goes, “a fire fights a fire,” accessories made of lazrite can suppress the cold of Asis.
If only that were the case, there would be no need to put on a show for visiting Korea like we do now.
“However, it is an extremely rare jewel. Its whereabouts are unknown, so it cannot be found.”
In the original, you have to go around asking around to find the jewel, but you don’t have to do that. I know where Lazrite is.
“I think I’ve heard of Lazrite. I think the Northgards of Isengar have it.”
“How do you know so much?”
“Because you’re a merchant. If you want to make a living in this business, you need to have this level of information skills as a basic requirement.”
Torvar gave him a look of disbelief, but it didn’t last long. Since he had no information about Lazrite anyway, he had no choice but to believe.
“Then the story will be quick. Go to Isenghar and bring back the Lazrite. Then we can somehow control the princess’s coldness.”
“Okay.”
“When are you leaving?”
“I’ll go right away.”
Is there any reason to hesitate?
The faster the better.
“I don’t recommend going alone. The northerners, especially the Northgard, are ferocious by nature and are vicious to outsiders. It would be a good idea to bring along a Hidewarp. They’ll be quite strong.”
“I was thinking the same thing.”
Force alone is enough for Asia, but it doesn’t hurt to have someone who will be a strong ally.
During the game, I went with one master and several subordinate dwarves. I could have taken Roxar with me since I won the drinking bet yesterday, but it would be a waste to use the wish ticket now.
“The person who should take you… .”
“Me! I’ll go with you!”
Perka, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation, stepped forward, making a fuss.
“Isn’t everyone busy? So I’ll volunteer to go! I can perfectly assist Karami and my sister!”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Perka. Where is that place that you’re talking about going?”
“What’s wrong with that? I can take care of myself, can’t I?”
“Do you have any reason to show the northerners the dwarves’ shame? Stop talking nonsense and stay home quietly. I’ll look for someone else to go.”
Torvar ignored Perka without paying any attention to him. Perka frowned and his fists shook.
“My father is always like that! Whenever I try to do something, he tells me to stay home! He doesn’t let me do anything! I’m a person, not some trinket made by my father!”
“Where did this guy get the courage to say something so big…!”
Perka, her eyes furrowed fiercely, shoved Torvar away and kicked him. She slammed the door shut and ran out of the house.
“Haa, who on earth do you take after to be like that.”
Torvar, who was looking at her back, sighed complicatedly and shook his head. Asies, who was unfamiliar with the sound of voices coming and going, tilted his head at me.
“It’s a normal father-daughter relationship.”
Of course, their family is a bit unusual. I know the details, but for now, Assis takes priority.
There, Perka is no longer my slave and there is no particular reason for me to solve it.
I guess they’ll just do it on their own.
A few days later, Torvar introduced me to someone who would go to Isenghar with me.
“Hey, you little brat! Are you going to Isenggar again?”
Hargran, the Hammer of the Berserker.
It was this guy again.
“Why you out of all the people?”
“You mean, it’s something to do with the Northgard guys? Then there’s no one better than me. I know those guys very well.”
Why do these dwarves have such long tongues?
The guy who said he didn’t want to be left behind when I went to wake up Assis is now willing to go. The reason is obvious.
Hargran turns his gaze to Asies. He kneels and bows respectfully as if he were her knight.
“Princess. Just trust me. I, Hargran, will make sure that no one touches even a single hair on your head.”
Then, Hargran tries to kiss the back of Assis’ hand. As he gently grabs her hand, ice frost clings to the tips of Hargra’s fingers.
“Wow?”
Hargran suddenly pulled his hand away.
I rubbed my hands together to generate heat and melt the ice.
“Huh, heh heh heh… Princess, your hands are quite cold.”
You’re acting so ugly.
And who is guarding whom?
He must be several times stronger than you.
But honestly, Hargran is the best. It can’t hurt to have a tough guy on our side.
A person with such reckless behavior would be a mess if they were on the opposing team, but they would be strong if they were on the same team.
So we headed to Isengar with Hargran and a few dwarves.
***
Our destination is Isenggar.
Among them, the place where the Norsgards established their base is a valley called Lake Fortress.
Because the North is a place where so many vicious demons roam, they settled in a valley also called Cheonhye’s Fortress.
We were crossing the snowy fields there, carrying our luggage and sleds on a frost wolf, a horse that had the characteristics of a mixture of wolf and horse.
I rode it for a while the last time I visited Assis. If it were a normal horse, it would have been caught in an unusual snowstorm and wouldn’t have been able to move forward, but the Frost Wolf was a master.
As a demon, it possessed magical powers, and its magical powers were vastly different from those of an ordinary horse.
Of course, as they got closer to the lair, the frost wolves got scared and had to walk behind because they felt the dragon’s aura, but this time it wasn’t like that.
There was no need to get off. Thanks to this, we were able to move much faster, but the problem was that it was extremely cold.
As I ran against the snowstorm, the cold wind blew all over my body.
“Ugh… .”
“Are you kidding me again?”
Hargran is nagging again.
What the hell are you kidding me about? If I keep doing this, I’ll be frozen before I even get there.
Even when I went to pick up Assis, I was so cold that I was dressed like a bear.
Dwarves who generate body heat are sufficiently covered with a single thick garment, but Assis, whose body is the very embodiment of cold, was not bothered even by the short dress that exposed her legs.
I was the only one who had to shiver in the bitter cold. I held the thermos stone carefully with both hands, but it didn’t mean much.
Assis tilted his head at me.
“Cold… ?”
“Ha, haha… It’s a little cold because of the wind. Oh, it’s not because of Miss AbsoluteAS, so don’t blame yourself. ”
“Wind… … .”
Assis looks up at the sky blankly.
Take a moment to look back at the blue and white hair fluttering roughly in the cold wind.
Assis’ hand rises gently.
Slowly, like the moment when winter holds its breath in silence.
The white snow field follows the graceful gestures and takes your breath away.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Transparent ice walls rise to the left and right.
The blizzard screams and rushes outside the walls.
“What the heck is this?!”
Towering ice walls are bound together to form an arch overhead, creating an ice tunnel that seems to have been carved by the breath of winter.
Outside the tunnel, the wind still blows hard.
It’s like a battlefield of fierce snowflakes.
But what lies within the ice wall is silence.
The inside of the tunnel was eerily quiet.
“This, what the heck is this… .”
The confused dwarves look around and find Assis. Assis, who has built a huge ice tunnel in the middle of the snowy field, is still expressionless.
“The wind… is gone now.”
Assis speaks indifferently.
‘Wow~ I never thought Assis would make an ice tunnel for me.’
A wave of emotion comes over me.
The owner is so delicious.
That’s why we raise slaves.
***
The house that Karami and Assis left.
From the moment they left, Perka also locked himself in his room and did not come out.
This sit-in was long, as they were very upset.
But no matter how unpleasant it was, as a father, he couldn’t let his daughter starve. Torvar knocked on the door of Perka’s room.
“Come out and eat. How long are you going to stay cooped up like that?”
“… … .”
“Perca.”
Perca, unresponsive.
No matter what, he’s a guy who doesn’t go hungry.
Suddenly, an ominous thought crossed Thorvar’s mind.
“Enter.”
With a little force the lock breaks and opens easily.
There was no Perca in the room.
It was a mess, as if someone had packed their bags in a hurry.
And a letter left on the desk.
-I’m back.
Torvar grabbed the back of his neck.
