850 Is this... a war?(1/2)
Akasha continent, north.
This is a piece of ice and snow.
Although the Ginas Kingdom is snowing now because it is winter, compared with this, the snowy days in the middle of the mainland are undoubtedly as docile as sheep.
The temperature here is always low, and it snows almost all year round. The earth is also bathed in ice and snow all year round, so that everything is snow-white when you reach the goal.
There are often snowstorms here. In winter, the temperature is at least minus 50℃. If you get lost in the blizzard, the chance of being frozen to death is nearly 100%.
Just between such a snowy and ice, a semicircular dark gate suddenly appeared.
Several figures stepped out one by one, crossed the central part of the continent and came to the northern part of the continent.
“So cold!”
As soon as I arrived here, a scream immediately sounded in the crowd.
The scream came from Ivy, the only pure magician in the audience.
Among the people present, except Ivy, the other five were swordsmen of the Sword Saint level. They were strong and strong. Although no one felt cold, they would not be so cold that they could scream.
But Ivy is different. As the only pure magician in the audience, her body is just an ordinary person, and the clothes she wears are not thick enough to withstand the low temperature of at least minus 50℃. Now she suddenly came to such a cold snowy day, and she was naturally frozen all of a sudden and almost turned around and went back to the [Portway].
“【Frozen Resistance】.”
Seeing this, Rig immediately activated a magic that could withstand freezing damage, allowing the magic to act on everyone.
He naturally did not apply this magic, because one of the effects of [The Developer of the Sun Wheel] is that he has resistance to light-heat, cold-freezing, and dark-type forces.
This made Rig neither afraid of high temperature nor low temperature, so he was the only one among everyone in the audience who did not feel the cold at all, and he was even wearing the casual clothes made with [high-level props creation].
On the other hand, except for Lilith and Yulo Alice, two who cannot be considered human beings, the rest of the others dressed thicker than usual.
"Is this the Kingdom of Tistise?"
Liz wrapped her coat tightly and looked at the vast snow and ice around her and made a sound of uncertainty.
"We're here? We won't go to the wrong place, right?"
Leo didn't wrap his clothes tightly, but just curled his lips and spoke sarcastic words there.
He still didn't believe that Rig could use one magic to send everyone to the distant Queen of Tistise.
Even if he used space magic that was extremely rare in even the hidden world, he could perform such long-distance space transfer magic, or he did not believe that he could achieve such long-distance teleportation by just one person.
At least several great magicians must assist, and then supplemented with various magic crystals that can provide magic power to form a teleportation array to carry out such a long-distance space transfer, right?
This is the question raised by the powerful magician Ivy when he learned that Rig wanted to arrive at the Kingdom of Distis in one breath.
But, no matter how they question it, Rig had to tell them.
"If the coordinates are not wrong, then this is the border of the Kingdom of DiStis."
As he said that, Rig raised his hand.
"Swish!"
In the air, a black shadow suddenly rushed down and landed on Rig's hand.
It was a bird-shaped creature with two pairs of four wings, like an eagle.
Its name is the multi-winged beast. In "YGGDRASIL", it is a level 22 monster that can be summoned with the [Fourth-level Monster Summoning]. It is a monster that can fly at a speed comparable to a flying dragon even if it does not eat or rest for two or three months.
When Rig was preparing to send a summoned object to fly to the Kingdom of Tistises, he finally decided to summon it.
Although there are not monsters that fly faster than the multi-winged beasts that can be summoned, these monsters either have relatively strict conditions for permanent summoning, or need to rest or eat in the middle. If you really count it, they may not be able to arrive at the Kingdom of Distes faster than the multi-winged beasts.
Therefore, Rig decided to summon the multi-winged beast to complete this task. First, its long-lasting flight ability is indeed excellent, and second, the conditions for permanent summoning it are extremely simple, and it only takes a little gold to consume.
"Thanks a lot."
Leg then pointed the head of the multi-winged beast in Lilith's envious eyes, took out some pieces of meat, fed it to the little guy, and sent it to the sky again.
The special ability of the multi-winged beast is extremely simple, which is [Classic Eye].
Therefore, its field of vision is very wide and far, and it is used as a high-altitude scout, which has a very miraculous effect.
“What is the nearest city around here?”
Leg turned to Liz and asked.
"I, I'll take a look..."
Liz was just a little busy preparing to take out the map, but Ivy, who finally felt that it wasn't very cold, spoke out.
"If this is really the border of the Kingdom of Tistise, the nearest city should be the border city - Mitt."
Mitt.
This name, Rig seemed to have seen it on the map of the Kingdom of Tistise that Yuli had collected for her.
"Remember that it seems to be a border city adjacent to the Luke Kingdom?"
The Kingdom of Luke is a country in the northern part of the continent, a small country directly bordering the southern border of the Kingdom of Diestis.
This small country is quite powerful in the entire continent. If the four major countries are excluded, its national strength will definitely be ranked among the top ten in the mainland, or even among the top five in the mainland.
The most famous thing about this country is that it is a thief group.
It is said that there was a powerful thief tribe in the northern part of the mainland. Almost everyone in the tribe had stolen other people's property, and even maintained the tribe's livelihood by stealing other people's property. Over time, it absorbed many refugees and vagrants and made a fortune by forcing the caravan. In the end, it spontaneously formed a small country.
After about two hundred years of development, this small country where the origins of the thief tribe has become increasingly stronger, but it is said that it still cannot change the style of robbers. It often gives heavy taxes to passing caravans, nobles and foreigners for various reasons, and even regularly form troops to force border villages and towns to rob families and houses. Although it cannot be said that it is doing everything, its style is extremely problematic and is deeply despised by countries in the mainland.
Some people call it a robber country, and some people call it a barbarian country. If it weren't for its strong strength and never offend big countries, and only focus on the robbery of small countries with weaker strength than themselves, resulting in small countries having no way to deal with it, and big countries have no reason to deal with it, it might have been destroyed long ago.
When Rig decided to come to the Kingdom of Tistise, he specifically investigated the situation here, and found that this northern power is now beginning to suffer a lot.
"Since the civil strife in the Kingdom of Tistis, the national situation has become increasingly serious, and the surrounding small countries have also begun to take up the idea of this country, and even formed alliances to deal with the Kingdom of Tistis together."
"The Kingdom of Luke is the pioneer of this small-state alliance, and is suspected to be receiving funding from other countries and constantly harassing the southern border of the Kingdom of Tistise."
"As the border city of the Kingdom of Tistise, Mitt has had small-scale conflicts with the army of the Kingdom of Luke."
Ivy touched her nose, as if she was worried about whether she would catch a cold, and said this casually.
"Are we going there?"
It can be heard that Ivy really wants to go.
No matter what kind of city Mitt is, there is at least a place where people stay. It is not like outside, where there are ice and snow everywhere, and people cannot live in at all.
"It's nice to go there first." Rig glanced at Ivy and said, "The Kingdom of Ginas and the Kingdom of Tistise are too far away. The information can be collected is limited. The situation here is so complicated. You can find a local person to find out the news and decide what to do next."
Rig could allow the multiwinged beast to continue to penetrate deep into the borders of the Kingdom of Distise and go all the way to the capital Ulvashi.
He is quite interested in the queen of this country.
The queens of the Kingdom of Tistise are descendants of the first queen who founded the country.
And the first queen is suspected to be related to the Tistis family.
The Tistis family has great connection with the former royal family Reinnail.
Since he has arrived at the Kingdom of Tistis, Rig naturally wants to meet the current queen and see if this queen, who is suspected to be a descendant of the Tistis family, knows some secrets of ancient magic civilization.
in addition……
"You have said that the teleportation array to the hidden land is located in the northernmost mountain range of the continent, right?"
Rig confirmed to Ivy Greo.
"Uh...what is the mountain range?"
Leo was a little confused, grabbed his head and thought hard.
"Casafegel Mountains." Ivy looked at Leo speechlessly, then sighed, and said, "The High Priest said that it is not only the northernmost mountain range on the mainland, but also covered by blizzards all year round. Almost no one can pass through the huge blizzard there to reach that mountain range, so its specific location and specific route to go is probably not very clear to even people in this country."
In other words, if you want to find that mountain range, you probably have to collect information in the Kingdom of Tistise for a long time.
And what geographical information is there that the royal family of this country does not know?
If even the royal family of the Kingdom of Tistis did not know where the Casafegel Mountains were located, then no one would know where it was.
In addition, there are many years of blizzards here. In this country where blizzards are everywhere, it is probably difficult for a winged beast to fly to the capital Urvahi like this.
After considering it comprehensively, Rig felt that it would be the most practical way to understand the country first and find a way to rush to Ulvashi by himself.
"Then let's decide." Leo saw that things became troublesome and immediately shouted: "Go to that Mitte first, I don't want to stay here anymore."
"Mi, Mit's direction is here!" Liz finally found the map, identified the location, pointed in one direction, and said, "You can get there in about one kilometer."
"One kilometer?" Ivy breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "It's okay, it's not far."
The most painful thing about long journeys like this is this magician.
There is no way, this is not a place to run a carriage. If you want to rush in such ice and snow, you either hike or you can only use the unique transportation tools of this country.
If you want to get transportation tools, you have to go to the city first.
"Let's go." Leg said immediately: "Let's hurry up first."
In order to facilitate everyone's journey, Rig also launched magic, imposing magic such as [Accelerating] and [Weight Reduction] on everyone, so that everyone can walk easily on the snow at least without struggling forward with deep snow footprints one by one.
This is especially needed for Ivy. If it weren't for the person who did it all, she might have wanted to bow her head and thank you.
