481. That’s what they say
Speaker returned to the dormitory with a strange expression on his face, and Eve was still sitting on the chair at the convenience store, looking at him with a blank expression.
Your face is strangely red. Do you have a fever?
If you have a fever, you should go in and rest, but anyway, you’re just gaining weight and getting fat…
“Have you ever thought of something terribly rude to me?”
“No way. I thought about it as it was?”
“What is it as it is?”
If I burn all that belly fat off of you guys, I’ll have enough energy to run Zephrine for a year. Like that?
“So. What brings you here? Hmm. No. Let me guess. Okay. What would have caused you to come at this hour is that you realized you were out of candy and wanted to eat something, and since it was like this, if you walked at night, you would lose weight and buy some candy and feel less guilty. The brain drugs and self-compromise kneaded together and baked it into bread, took out your brain and put it in and left it to think. Is that it?”
“That’s not it?!”
“Isn’t it?”
“There’s candy left. There… I’ve thought about it before, but I never actually did it!”
“······.”
Is it true? Did you do it?
“So if that’s not it, what’s the real matter?”
“I have a message from Elpirane.”
“message?”
“Yes. To be exact, it is a message from Queen Laia Dia Frost.”
“You could use Lilia, though.”
“Lilia Snow said she came back because she felt uneasy near the convenience store.”
As she said that, Eve glanced at the primordial ruby, that is, the fire stone.
ah···.
Certainly, the Seven Jewels of the Beginning are ranked tier 1 just as raw materials, and especially the ones with opposing traits don’t even want to approach them.
“I see. So what’s the message?”
“Ahem. My fellow countryman, Wolfram. Congratulations on your victory. So… when will you keep your promise to me?”
“Ah. Now that I think about it.”
At that point when you successfully conquer the second gate, you can take Laia out of the snowy field of Poyoung.
but···.
“If we take out Laia now, we’ll hasten the fight against Grand Felicie.”
“Yes.”
That’s the problem.
Let’s say you take out Lia, and then go fight Grand Felissier right away?
“It looks like it will be a difficult battle with my current physical strength.”
“Is that so? I thought you’d say something like, ‘Ha. What’s wrong with 1 Stamina? You can kill everyone.’”
“It is not an easy task.”
“Is that so?”
“Tsk. The heat from the Achaean volcano penetrates the ice cape. If your stamina is drained in real time, you can only last 10 seconds.”
“hmm···.”
“Even if all variables are aligned, it’s still about 3 seconds short.”
“Are you kidding······?”
“Do I look like I’m joking with you?”
Eve looked at me as if she was looking at a monster.
If I do my best with my current specs, it takes about 13 seconds to snipe only the Grand Felici.
It’s not easy for me to reduce it any further than that.
“Certainly… Then it will take some time to free Queen Lia Dia Frost.”
“But if we don’t free her, her wrath will explode.”
Eve also smiled bitterly as I shrugged my shoulders.
“Then what are you going to do?”
How to do it.
You have to go there and talk to him.
***
After that, I moved around in a wheelchair.
A wheelchair with suspension based on black crystal and moved by Ma Dong-seok.
“You said I could go alone···.”
“Hehehe. I’m a royal guard, right?”
“Hmm. I see.”
It’s Nefty pulling my wheelchair.
“But, can I meet him? I don’t want to wait in front of the snowfield either….”
“It’s okay. You are also a knight acknowledged by the dragon. Then, you won’t attack even if it means seeing Filtia’s face.”
“Ehehe···.”
Nefty had a big smile on her face as she slowly pushed my wheelchair, wondering what was so exciting about it.
And then, passing through the north gate, we arrive at Poyoung’s snowfield.
“Aren’t you cold, senior?”
“Are you okay?”
“Yes! It’s okay! It’s all thanks to you, senior!”
You could say that it’s an exaggeration, but it’s true.
Just having the Primal Ruby in your hand will completely nullify any dot damage coming from this snowy field.
And all that dot damage is because of the cold.

By moving like that, we arrived at the Ice Queen’s Citadel.
Every time we pass by, the ice spirits glance this way, and it seems like they are watching me and Nephthy.
That’s strange. Even if Nephthy is like that, what about me?
“Wolf! Hello! And hello to you too, customer!”
“Hmm. Hello. Future Executive Lilia.”
“Hello! I came as an escort for Senior Wolfram. My name is Nephterian!”
“Yes! I am Lilia Snow, Lady Laia’s subject and candidate for executive position!”
As they said that, Nephthy and Lilia started to chatter amongst themselves.
I think we match better than expected, maybe because our mental ages are similar.
I was curious to see the two of them just talking in front of the Queen’s audience room, so I asked Lilia.
“Is Leia inside?”
“Ah… Yes. The Queen is inside. But before that, Wolf, can you move that rock away? The other spirits are scared.”
“Excuse me.”
By the way, the Primal Ruby is extremely poisonous here.
A very poisonous poison that can cause death by simply throwing it at the spirits, causing your body to melt and explode.
Let’s put it neatly inside the Quick Create. Lilia nodded with a smile.
“Okay. You can come in! Oh, guests are not allowed in. He said only Wolf should come in.”
“ah···.”
“What could happen? Just wait here.”
“Yes! Senior!”
okay.
I’ve known Leia for so long, what could happen?
The moment I opened the door to the visitation room and went in, Dododo. Laia came running, her dress fluttering in the wind, forgetting about her pride.
“You’ve come. My comrade. Wolfram.”
“Hmm. Sorry for keeping you waiting so long, Lia.”
“No. I didn’t wait long. I waited for 300 years, but I can’t say that waiting this long.”
“······.”
“Okay! Let’s get started. It’s time to spank that naughty bitch’s ass!”
uh.
hmm.
If I ask you to wait a little longer, will you hit me with an ice spear here···?
***
Lia smiled brightly and brought out some iced tea, and even prepared a crystal chair for him.
I’m so upset I have no words. Am I going to be killed like this?
She, who is called the Ice Queen, really, truly hates Grand Felicie.
Once you’ve chosen one of the two factions as your allies, it’s completely impossible to become friendly with the other faction.
And, if you help one side win in the final battle, the power struggle will be completely over and you will receive the appropriate reward.
However, if I did that now, it would be a problem because I would only lose the resurrection passive, not to mention the power reduction.
“Leia.”
“Yes, my comrade. Wolfram. What plan have you prepared?”
“Hmm. A scheme.”
“Yes. If it were you, you would have a plan in your head that would take over the whole world. My comrade. Well, everything is ready. Let’s show that damned sl*t what justice is.”
stratagem.
No, there is one.
There’s nothing I can do.
Let’s be honest.
“Lia, I’m sorry, but I’d like to postpone it a little longer.”
“yes···?”
“Let me be honest. I am not in a position to fight anyone right now. If you were the queen, would you be able to see my condition with the ‘perception’ ability you possess?”
“It’s not difficult. 【Ice Crystal’s Eyes】”
【The eyes of the ice crystal are watching you.】
【All statuses are revealed.】
【Imperial bloodlines dare not be grasped by lowly blood.】
‘Do not resist.’
【I don’t resist.】
【The eyes of the ice crystal ‘see’ you.】
Lia glanced at my status, tilted her head, and rubbed it with her hand.
“What are you doing?”
“No. Either the numbers were entered incorrectly, or there was something wrong with the numbers I saw in front of me, so I was wiping them off with my hand.”
“······.”
“But, that’s not true. Is this really Comrade Wolfram’s···?”
yes.
Surprisingly, that’s my pure shame.
“Yes. My body was completely destroyed by the restrictions for a month. Can you understand?”
“I, I understand. But… how are you still alive?”
“······.”
Don’t look at me like that.
Leia stared at this side for a moment, then sighed.
“Comrade Wolfram. It is not I who must take down Grand Felicie, but we. That is, if your condition is not perfect, I can understand and wait. After waiting for 300 years, why can’t I wait for a month?”
“Thank you.”
“But, it won’t work. I can’t just sit by and watch this happen.”
“hmm?”
Before I could resist, Leia firmly grabbed my hand.
Hey, it’s really cold.
Please let me go. I’m freezing to death.
And then, without giving me a chance to resist, he brought his forehead to mine.
“What are you doing?”
“Stay still.”
Immediately afterwards, I could feel what Laia was doing.
【The aftereffects of the bloodline are slightly transferred. Target: Lia Dia Frost】
【The opponent also has a transcendent level. It is suitable for transfer.】
【Opponent’s status is lowered by 30%.】
【The duration of the aftereffects is reduced from 615 hours to 575 hours.】
“Leia.”
“You don’t have to look at it that way. Aren’t we comrades when we not only do things that benefit each other, but also do things that are detrimental to each other?”
As she said that, Leia smiled brightly.
thanks.
Thank you so much.
“It’s so cold I could freeze to death. Could you let go of my hand?”
“ah.”
***
After a brief conversation about Laia’s liberation and the route to infiltrate the Achaean volcano, we return to the convenience store and dive into the Dream Castle Station again.
“Wolfram. You’re here?”
“Hmm. Evie. You’ve been waiting long.”
“No. I’m just happy that you came.”
Evie held out her fist, and I clenched my fist and bumped it into hers as a greeting.
“Now that I’ve caught the Pulser, I want to move to the next Dreamworld Station.”
“Ah… Yes! Let’s do that! Let’s see. Where do you want to go?”
After passing the first misty land and breaking the verdant plateau, I can then choose the place I want.
“Where is it?”
“Haha. If you’re curious, this guide will show you exactly what to do!”
“Um. Please.”
I actually know all this, but I’m a little concerned about taking away the guide’s job.
The guy laughed heartily and explained about the various areas.
“The Pale Forest. The River of Scorching Heat. The Swamp of Despair… There are many places.”
“What a name more terrifying than the Green Plateau.”
“Haha. Then, can I stay on this plateau?”
“No. I refuse. Okay. Let’s get moving.”
“So. Where are you going?”
When thinking about the next expedition and the third gate, the first place to go is decided.
“Can you guide me to the river of heat waves?”
“Yes! Of course!”
At my request, Evie smiled faintly and grabbed my arm.
So we arrived at the river of the heat wave.
The area, as its name suggests, was filled with boiling rivers and steaming sulfur hot springs. Just looking at it made you feel like your body was melting.
“Whew. It’s really hot here!”
“I see.”
I passed by Evie and headed towards the sulfur hot springs that had been dug out haphazardly near the River of the Heat Wave.
“Wolfram, be careful! Each sulfur spring has different effects, so I don’t know what they will do!”
“Hmm. I see.”
“Joe, I told you to be careful, right?”
Two in front. One to the right. Three up. Two to the left. Two up.
Found it.
“Is this it?”
“Wolfram!?”
Ignoring Evie’s screams.
I just threw myself into the hot spring.
and
【A heat so intense that it makes you lose your mind covers your body.】
【Imperial blood cannot show itself in a dirty manner.】
【The heat penetrates the body.】
【The heat penetrates the body.】
The system started going crazy.
“Then, come out quickly!”
“No. That can’t be.”
One of the fun things about this game is this.
【I immersed myself in the healing hot springs of burning sulfur.】
【I feel my body recovering due to the heat.】
Heat is not replaced with damage, but with recovery.
in other words.
If you immerse your body in this water that is over 100 degrees, it may be hot, but your body will gradually recover.
A really ridiculous system.
【Achieve intense heat tolerance due to the therapeutic effects of the hot sulfur springs.】
【Heat resistance gradually increases.】
【Gain scorching heat resistance.】
This is true.
Okay, that’s good.
“Oh, isn’t it hot?”
“No. It’s just cool.”
“Really? Did I get it wrong······Huh?!”
At my words, Ebi dipped her fingertips into the hot spring, took them out, put them in her mouth, and looked at me while sobbing.
“You said it was cool! You said it was cool! You liar! You lied to me!”
“······.”
that.
I’m sorry.
