111 # 111 Frigid area and magic ice.






 The construction of Zanuck's clothing store and the Brunhild branch of Ginsuki have begun, and this area is finally starting to resemble a shopping district. We're still short on supplies, but we've managed to cover the shortage.
 Fortunately, we don't have a lot of people, so we don't worry about the food situation so much. In the forest, we can get wild vegetables, nuts, and yams, and there are also wild boars, rabbits, and other animals. There are plenty of fish in the river as well, and just like their Majesties Belfast and Regulus said, it seems that this is indeed a fertile land. Well, I guess that's why the demonic beasts were so prevalent.
 Well, it could be said that the building of the country is generally going well. Just then, Tsubaki-san brought some information to me.

''I heard that in the Elfrau Kingdom, which is in the north of the empire, where the extremely cold frozen soil spreads, there's something like the transition camp that Your Majesty mentioned.

 Oh, dear. It seems to have been sent by a merchant who came here from Elfrau. It seems that there is a mysterious cylindrical object in a cave closed off in the ice that no one is allowed to enter. I see, it's the same as the desert ruins. The shape is different though.
 It's also a good idea to unify the doctor's body with the search spell to make it easier to find. It's just a matter of time before he'll be able to find it. The only way to recognize them is as ruins is if the outside changes every time you go in. It's hard to tell until you enter, and it's obvious once you're inside, but even if you're polite, there's a ward on the inside. The search magic is also played.
 I want to guess that it's still harassment if it's so thorough. Of course, it has not been decided that the thing in that cave is the transporter team.
 However, I understand well. As expected of a ninja. I'm a master at gathering information, right?

This is why the master is going to have more dolls to play with.
''Well it's just depressing to think that there will be another one like you.

 I cut back at Sheska with bitterness. I think that their personalities are made by cutting out the personality of the doctor. I think the attitude of making things is strongly reflected in Rosetta. The erotic jokes are for Shesca.
 Show me a map and ask Tsubaki-san to show me the places we've talked about. It's far. It's also north, near the end of the line. It must be cold.

"Rosetta and Sheska, go ahead of me in Babylon for now. If it's cold, why don't you go into the garden house?
Don't worry. Babylon has developed a barrier to keep you at the right temperature, so you won't have to deal with the heat or the cold.

 Well, it wasn't too hot when we went to the desert. Is the air conditioning function in a wide area? It's convenient. If I think about it, it might be a necessary function for the plants in the garden. Some species might be less sensitive to the heat and cold than others.
 After I sent Sheska and Rosetta off, I took everyone to Leanne's and she jumped up and was happy when I told her that the transporter team had been found. She honestly didn't have to tell them, but if she didn't, she was afraid of the rest.
 We all went back to our rooms to get ready, as we were going to the extreme cold zone. I have this coat, so it's not a problem for me. At any rate, it gives you cold-, heat-, and blade-resistance, gun- and demon-resistance effects. It wasn't too hot in the desert, so it should be fine.
 I offered to take Amber with me this time, but Coral and Kuroshio were staying home.

'We don't seem to be able to handle the cold very well. It's not impossible to move, but I'd rather not.

 I see. It is not hard to understand because it is a snake and a tortoise. It's inconvenient. I'm not that bad with humans, so it's a good thing I'm not that bad at them.



 I'm not so bad at them. I was just trying to lick the frigid zone. What is this cold? Is this coat supposed to be resistant to the cold? How many degrees is it? And everyone else is looking around nonchalantly. What's going on?

Why do you guys look so unconcerned? Well, aren't you cold?
I'm using global warming magic. Except for you, you're normally at room temperature.

 Lean is giving me that kind of information. That's not fair. I'm not one of them!

You said we're well protected.

 You mentioned it! I'm sorry, I was overconfident! So let me have some of that magic please!

'Heat, come, the bulwark of warmth, the warmth of warmth.'

 Lean's magical light enveloped my body. Oh, the cold has eased. I took a handful of snow that was falling to try it out, but it wasn't too cold. The snow didn't melt rapidly either. I'm not sure if this magic is not a spell that raises the body temperature, but it may be acting as a barrier to protect you from the cold.
 When the cold settled, I looked around. There was a large ice hole on the mountainside covered with coniferous forest. The ice cave stretches endlessly underground. It is said that there is some kind of ruins in this cave.
 We stepped into the cave. I felt a chill run down my back, even though my warm-up was working. The Light's magic illuminates the inside and we make our way through, bit by bit.

'Be careful, it's slippery. Watch your feet and take it slow...

 Just as I turned around to alert everyone, my foot got caught in the ice and I fell down. Ouch. Is it a curse that always puts a slip on the enemy?

'What are you doing, Winter Night?'
Are you all right, that you are, Lord Winterfellas?

 I take Else and Yae's outstretched hand and stand up. If only I had shoes that never slip or something. I wonder if there's some kind of magic that's the opposite of slipping, so I don't slip on the ice?
 In such a state, Paula bounced down the ice hole with a light footing. Naturally, she slipped and rolled down in an interesting way. What the hell is that guy doing?
 Seeing this, we continued down the cave with more caution. We almost slipped a few times, but we managed to get to the lower level without falling down.

''It's...high.''

 Linze looked up and murmured. The inside of the ice cave was a high, wide cave, with several icicles connecting the ceiling to the ground. It was dark at the back of the cave, and it was impossible to see what was there.
 The Light was ahead, and Amber would lead the way. Ember would know if there was something there by smell or sound.

"Lord. There's something up ahead. It seems to be the ruins of the same, but this seems to be a bit of a problem...''

 Hmm? So there were ruins. Amber is also good for night vision. I suppose they can already see it. But what do you mean by troublesome?
 Careful of my footing, I paced forward and realized what Amber had meant. A large, black, shiny, cylindrical object was covered with a tremendous amount of thick ice. What is this, a permanent ice wall? A wall of ice appears in a cave. A black cylindrical ruin can be seen through it.

It's clinking........ Is it going to shatter, this...?

 I tried shooting Brunhild's bullet into the base of the ice, but it was easily bounced off. Oh no. This one is as hard as Frase.

''Lean... can't we use magic to melt this?
Ummm, I'll try, but...

 Flames spewed from the tips of Lean's hands like a flamethrower, but the ice did not melt. What did that mean?

I knew it. This is no ordinary ice. It's demonic ice.
Huh?
''The ice is the result of natural magical power accumulation. It can't be shattered by half strength, and it won't melt easily, even with magical flames.

 Ugh. I thought I could crush it with Gravity, but that's going to destroy the ruins inside, and even if I try to transfer the ice with the Gate, it's already attached to other parts of the city. Is it still best to just melt it? No, if we melt it too much with high heat, this cave itself could collapse. Then it must be crushed.

"Hmmm, isn't there any good way to do it?

 I touch the ice wall. It's chilly. It's probably softened by the "warming" effect, and if it's true, it's supposed to be skin freezing cold.

'It's just around the corner, though.'
If we could dig a tunnel, it would be easy to get there...
A tunnel...? Ah!

 Umina's murmur gave me a flash of inspiration. I put my magic power in my palm. Oh yeah, that's right, that's how it works.

"Modeling.

 With a gulp, the ice distorts and the wall in front of me dips. Instead, the area around it popped out, like a tunnel.
 It won't melt, it won't shatter. Then let it deform. It's not about getting rid of it. It's the same procedure as when I got Baba's old men out of jail in Yisheng.
 I transformed more and more of the magical ice as I went along. Eventually, the cylindrical object in front of me emerges from the ice.

"Now, is this the transporter team to Babylon or not...
It's a big one.

 As Lou said, the size of the cylindrical remains is about six or seven meters in diameter and three meters high. It's shaped like a tuna can. I went around the perimeter of the ice with the Modeling tool, but there is no entrance anywhere. There's no doorway, nor is there anything that can be slipped through like in the desert.
 Hmmm? What do you mean?
 Suddenly, the shape reminded me of a can of tuna, and I thought of where the can opens. Up, right?
 I transform the ice into a staircase and climb up, being careful not to slide down. I'll have everyone wait at the bottom.
 There was nothing on top of the ruins, but there was one spot, a hollow about a meter in diameter in the center. Could it be this one? I stretched out my legs in fear and they slipped through. It seems that this is the entrance after all. It's that mysterious wall that only those with all the attributes can pass through.

I've found the entrance. I'm going to go in now. You'll have to wait for a while. I'll contact Amber if anything comes up.

 I told everyone below and then danced over the hollow with determination. Quickly, I went through the ceiling and landed inside. The dim light and the six stone pillars and the transfer team. I knew it was the ruins of Babylon.
 The magic power of each attribute was poured onto each stone pillar. When all six magic powers were poured out, the transfer team began to emit a faint light. Standing in the center of it, I pour out the last unattributed magic power. I was transferred along with the dazzling light coloration land separation light.
