I am a stubborn person and work for the evil god to fight against female prostitution.

The spicy blue man covered his head very cooperatively.

"I'm kidding, don't take it so seriously, okay

?" "The question now is—" Ignoring Chiss's loud protests, I continued

, "The question is, how did our whereabouts come to light?

Did

anyone notice anything unusual before the attack?"

I looked at Aisarina, and she replied in the negative.

There

should be no warning before the danger comes, and there should be no revelations.

How did those monsters get to us?

I couldn't find a reason to explain the current situation, just when I was deeply puzzled by this.

Leaning against the trunk of the tree, Chiss stood up and opened his mouth suddenly.

For some reason, when discussing serious plans, it felt like his voice was quite solemn.

Lost the cynical attitude of the previous one.

"Think of the reports from the scouts.

He reminded

, "Surrounded by a raging sea, Yala has become an island in the middle of the sea. "

I see.

What he meant was already obvious.

The border town of Yara has been surrounded by hordes of demonic beasts, blocking its way.

As for why they were ambushed in this place, the answer is obvious.

"Are all exits blocked?" said

Esarina softly.

That's right, that's it!

With the number of monsters we saw when we broke through just now.

It's not impossible to do something that sounds exaggerated.

However, this is only a possibility.

If it really translates into reality, there must be some catalyst in the middle.

If the monsters around it had always been so united, Yarra Town would have been doomed a long time ago.

How could it have been so many years?

Something must be in the way.

As long as it is resolved, the current crisis will be self-defeating.

But, the key question is... What is going on?

I can't think of the result for a moment.

"Whatever it is—"

Moria struggled to her feet.

"I know where to find answers.

"The Valley of Ice, that's absolutely the source of all problems.

Chiss finished for her.

"Valley of Ice?" I asked softly,

"You both mentioned the name of the place before.

I think it's time to get it seriously explained.

"Indeed

," said Chis. The Valley of Ice is a hollow valley basin located not far north of the town of Yarra.

It gets its name because the average temperature is slightly lower than the surrounding environment.

The place was far from town, and there were no minerals or medicinal herbs worth mentioning.

So it is inaccessible all year round.

The monster suddenly became ferocious and bloodthirsty, probably from the beginning of August.

At that time, the situation was not as serious as it is now.

In an unprepared situation, although it caused considerable losses to the caravan.

But as long as you hire enough guards, you'll be fine.

But the appearance of the high-level monster griffin still made the experienced old Willy realize that something was wrong.

He sent out scouts on a bounty mission to search the entire area around Yarra Town.

The result, of course, was nothing.

At the time, we all ignored the Valley of Ice.

I didn't think about it until recently.

Initial exploration revealed that the frost magic there was extremely strong.

Something must be messing around there!

Yarra Town suddenly became cold, and eighty percent had something to do with it.

"So, all we need to do

is go to the Valley of Ice?" "That's right," said Moria, "

and our mission is to go to the Valley of Ice and find out the source of the Scourge of Magic.

I didn't expect that in just three days, the situation outside would be so bad.

This is a dereliction of duty as an initiator, and I must apologize to both.

She bowed deeply.

"But there's no need to worry too much.

The lord had reported the danger to Yarra yesterday.

Reinforcements should be sent from the royal capital soon.

All we have to do is to scout enough information until then.

As soon as she said this, everyone immediately became relaxed.

It's okay, it's okay,

it's just doing some auxiliary work and waiting for reinforcements to arrive, right?

Honestly, if the safety of the whole town is really on my shoulders.

I was so scared that I didn't know what to do.

Those teenagers may be excited about the danger that is coming.

Feel like a child of destiny, and a sense of responsibility burns brightly.

The weather-beaten old fritter doesn't think so.

I am incapable of taking responsibility for the lives of others.

Although we are ready to keep moving forward, we have decided to face difficulties head-on and no longer run away.

However, if the price of defeat is to watch innocent people suffer and even die...

In that situation, I asked myself if I couldn't stay calm.

Unable to exert his full strength.

In the battle of the real sword decisive victory, there was no explosion of seeds, and there was no breakthrough in the battle.

Strong or weak are just variables that are determined before starting.

Perhaps, someone can keep winning with a good attitude.

However, I was burdened with heavy expectations.

Can you still risk your life and put life and death on the line?

I can't answer.

The scale of the current catastrophe is no joke.

If something really goes wrong, it may lead to a desperate situation of monsters attacking the city.

Can I turn the tide with my two high-level people?

I'm not that confident in myself.

So, let's be cautious.

............

Led by Chis, who is well versed in geography, leads the way.

Moria followed in the middle, and Isharina and I were at the back of the line.

A group of four climbed through the unusually dense bushes and climbed the hill.

Wash away blood and fishy smells from clothes in the babbling water.

The speed of walking is neither fast nor slow.

Except for a little trimming up with dry food at noon, we barely stopped.

During the meal, Chiss announced that he had rearranged the current orientation of the team.

And the target location was determined.

He thinks we're about two-thirds of the way there.

After passing through the 'Evergreen Forest' and the 'Vast Fields', you will reach your destination.

The remaining three cheered in low voices, and the news was indeed encouraging.

The partners breathed a sigh of relief.

Even the dry, hard jerky custom-made by the Adventurers' Guild in your hand that is easy to carry and provides plenty of calories has become delicious.

Chis's words are timid and lustful on weekdays, but they are unambiguous in serious matters.

I was really impressed by his ability to accurately and quickly discern directions in the wilderness.

But beyond that, the good news that can make people happy.

I also noticed one thing that had to be mentioned....

"Aisarina, what's wrong with you?" On

the way, I caught a glimpse of Aisarina's worried expression on her frowning brow.

"Nothing," she replied as she walked.

"It's just that I'm thinking about the cause of the disaster. "

What caused the disaster?
