　I rested for a few days in Valiant.

　Finally, we headed for the village of Atmos.

　It took us a few days to get there by Valkyrie from Valeant, which is too deep to be called the foot of a sacred mountain.

　When we reached there, the scenery changed drastically.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a large valley.

　The landscape changes from the forested area to a place where there are almost no trees.

　Usually you can see the surface of the ground, but in this winter season, snow covers the ground, and in some places you may not even notice the cliffs.

　One misstep could send you sliding down to the bottom of the valley.

　It is quite a scary place, but Ian, who was with us, did not seem to think so.

"I miss this place.

"Really?　I mean, how could those Atmos warriors live in a place like this? They must have had trouble in the winter. There doesn't seem to be any food at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, yeah. Well, that's true. That's why those who can fight go to war.

"So you're a family of mercenaries. But that's only because of their atomosphere. In normal circumstances, they would never need to live in a place like this.

　I wonder if the warriors of Atmos were sending money home from the battlefield?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One wonders how they survived the winter in such a place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Could it be that Atmos warriors born and raised near the labyrinthine core of the Atmosphere are more resilient to the cold, or that they are more tolerant to the scarcity of food?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was the kind of place that makes you think that way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I guess it is home.

　Ian looks happy, even though I would have thought it was a tough environment to live in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think that the place where you were born and raised is special, no matter what kind of place it is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In my case, the place where I was born is no longer on the earth and I've flown up to the sky, so I can't really feel that kind of feeling.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I wonder if I'll be okay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's good that you brought Ian here, but the purpose of this trip is to get the spirit stone, and the way to get it is to steal it with permission.

　We're not going to fight.

　There may be times when we run into soldiers of the Brillia Mage Nation while digging, but they must be dealt with in a calm and collected manner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if they are occupying our stolen homeland, it would be bad if we let them get out of control here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thinking of this, I warned Ian once again and moved on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ahead of me, some soldiers were waiting for me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There were soldiers of the Brillia Mage Nation in a place where we could shelter from the wind.

"How do you do? I am Kaymon, a researcher of magic stones and geology in the country of Grelmont. Thank you very much for giving us permission to conduct geological research.

"Don't get me wrong. We did not give you permission. Our security is impeccable. If there are any unauthorized persons snooping around here, we will find them. Be careful on moonless nights."

"Yes. Yes, sir. I'm very aware of that. Now, if you'll excuse me.

　He called out to the soldier he met and quickly pulled out a bag from his pocket and handed it to him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The soldier opened the bag and looked inside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was given permission this time, but I did not give my name in all honesty.

　He gave the money under the guise of belonging to some random country in a cluster of small states.

　In fact, the country of Gourlaymont has a geological surveyor, so they don't seem to be particularly suspicious of me.

　The fact that a child like me was in charge of this project might have been considered as an aristocrat's hobby.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, a serious person who would do a proper background check would not try to make money like this.

　They are going to keep their eyes closed until the night of the new moon, so I'll let them search for the spirit stone until then.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After greeting the soldiers, he went further into the area.

What do you want to do, Mr. Barca?　Even if I use my magic to search the ground, the canyon is much bigger and wider than I expected. I don't know if I can find it if I search randomly, even though I have brought a magic stone filled with magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Right. What about Ian?　Do you have any idea where to look to see if you can find a spirit stone?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm. I don't know. The closer to the great stone where the spirit of the earth dwells, the more stones there must have been.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Does that mean that the closer the Atmosphere is to where it was originally located, the higher the probability of finding a spirit stone?　But the Atmosphere was a big one, about 300 meters high, wasn't it? I think that the Brillia mage nation must have seen it, so I think that location is the most important one to be kept under control.　You can't just go digging near a place where there are a lot of soldiers."

　Apparently, the soldiers of the Bryllian Mage State are not following us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They probably think that there is no way we can find the spirit stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But they might still come to see what we are doing from time to time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If it was a place where there were many soldiers, the frequency might increase.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That would be bad, indeed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be better if Lassen's power is not seen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, we need to search for a vein of ore at a reasonable distance from the place where the atmospere was located.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We landed at the bottom of the canyon, which was much deeper than the height of the Wall of Atmos, and talked for a while about where we should start.
