Chapter 494
Eventually, the snow had to be removed from the roof.
Looking at the menacingly thick snow on the roof, I thought I might die from being crushed by the collapsing roof, just like Luna said, so I couldn’t sleep like this.
I never imagined that I would live and see a scene of heavy snowfall that would require me to go up on the roof and clear the snow.
According to Luna, it wasn’t just a saying, it seemed that the roof collapsed quite often when there was really heavy snow like this.
It was a very bizarre task to clear the snow from the roof, that is, not to a moderate level, but to a person’s waist.
It was a job to cut the snow with a shovel and scoop it out one shovel at a time.
I have to push the snow down the roof, so if I feel like I can push it to some extent, I push the snowdrift down the roof.
– excellent sorghum
There was also a terrifying sound that made me wonder if this was the sound of falling snow.
After cleaning it up, I thought I could understand why the roof collapses when there is a lot of snow in winter.
In the end, I couldn’t even rest and had to clear my eyes until the sun went down.
It wasn’t just me, but other residents as well. If the roads of the village were blocked, they could not move, so they had to keep clearing them.
Still, when the snow removal on the roof now leaves only one last pile.
“Suck!”
It’s scary to push the thick piles of snow down the roof.
– Excellent water!
“Lineha… … !”
I looked down at the roof to see if there was anything serious down there, and saw Luna looking up with a bewildered expression, having been beaten all over the snowdrift.
“ah… … . that’s it… … .”
-Taktak!
Luna, who had been bombarded with snow, brushed her hair and shoulders, narrowed her eyes, and sighed.
“… … Have dinner.”
just now.
I was a little scared because I thought it would be true.
* * *
As I wanted, dinner was thinly toasted bread in meat soup with wild vegetables and meat.
I was getting used to the harsh but warm meals of the mountain village.
“I don’t know when the snow will stop.”
At Luna’s words, Ronan nodded.
Until the snow stopped and melted, all of Lizaira’s work would be confined to what could only be done at home or within the village.
-smart
During the meal, I heard a knock on the door and when I went out, Lena was standing there holding a pot.
“Ah, Reinhardt. This is what her grandmother told her to bring.”
“Tell me thank you, Lena.”
“Yes, lady!”
Since the village lived almost like a community, it was common to make and share dinner. There were quite a few times when Luna also told me to take the extra to another house when I made a lot of food, so I went around quite a bit myself.
Sometimes Lena or Arta sat together at the dinner table, and many times I was invited to Lena or Arta’s house.
It was an apple pie in the pot Lena handed her.
There have been times when the dinner menu has grown to an unmanageable extent.
The word neighbor, which had become a very foreign concept to me, was still alive in Lizaira.
Naturally, we ate dinner with one additional dinner menu added.
Having been in Lizaira for a long time, I had no choice but to run into people other than Lena and Arta, Ronan and Luna quite often.
Like Arta’s older brother, Dalan.
Or Lena’s younger sisters.
their parents, and grandparents, etc.
If it weren’t for those two, he knew almost everyone in Lizaira.
It wasn’t a very crowded neighborhood, so it wasn’t difficult to memorize the name.
Always too many numbers. too many names.
There were too many names of vassals, so I couldn’t memorize them, but everything about Lizaira was too few.
It dawned on me that the old adage of knowing how many spoons my neighbor has is not a bad idea in this environment.
A town with too few people to control, too few resources to manage, and too few situations to face.
Although some may dislike the sight of being too close to their neighbors.
Having lived under a long compulsion to memorize and know, weighed down by so many numbers and people, this time in Lizaira felt like a final vacation.
But I was still aware of some oddities.
There are quite a few elderly people in Lizaira.
These are people who have lived in the village for generations, so there are inevitably large families.
Lizaira didn’t seem to particularly reject outsiders, so even though it was isolated now that the Gate incident had broken out, it didn’t seem to be that kind of town in the first place. If that were the case, the village would have perished long ago.
But the question is something else.
Like Arta, Lena, grandparents, and quite a few siblings.
It is a big family.
But the leader of this Lizaira.
There were only two of Luna Artorius and his wife.
There are neither Luna’s parents nor Ronan’s parents. Lagann is dead, Ellen is outside.
But even if there is, I don’t know why these are the only nuclear families.
Does this have some reason?
“How is the work going?”
It was Ronan’s question.

“ah… … . I guess we’ll have to see the snow melt, but if we keep going like this, I think it’ll be over before the winter is over.”
“I see.”
It was winter, so it was difficult, but it was also true that the speed of work gradually increased. All of this can be done before spring arrives.
If that happens, I don’t know what will happen.
I had a feeling that I didn’t want to leave Lizaira, but it was true that I had to.
By the time winter passes, I hope to achieve something.
That’s what Luna did when she just arrived in Lizaira.
Just because I became a handful stronger here, wouldn’t it make a big difference?
I agree with what Luna said.
I haven’t reached the master class yet, but if I do, will I be able to deal with the monster that appears at the end?
However, I couldn’t stay still, and I was spending such a long time in Lizaira because I didn’t know if the stage I hadn’t reached yet might give me new possibilities.
Even if you do reach the Master Class, your chances are slim.
Then, in the end, what I can use is to lean on the holy relic.
I now know something about the hidden powers of the Hallows.
Tiamata allows you to use powerful divine power. Therefore, the power of recovery and the power of destruction can be used at the same time.
Ellen’s rament has the power to cut through anything.
Alsbringer is the strongest relic that can summon the power of the gods, but it takes lives at the cost.
I don’t know how Rapelt’s true power is.
Tiamata’s keyword is anger.
The keyword of Lament is sadness.
Alsbringer’s keyword is sacrifice.
Rappelt’s keyword is hatred.
If the chances of me surviving even by reaching the master class are slim.
Maybe I should arrange something different.
“I have something I want to ask you two.”
At my words, both Luna and Ronan look at me.
“Tell me.”
“Ask me.”
If the clue is in the relic.
“Do you know where the Holy Spear, Alixion is?”
I know the shape because I saw it in the book.
The last relic in the form of a spear.
The holy relic of Ritter, the god of courage.
Where is Alixion, and what is its true power?
Both of them seemed to know that.
As for Alixion, in the past, when I was looking for information on sacred relics including Tiamata, I only glanced at it, but I didn’t really know anything.
It’s just that it’s a sacred object in the form of a spear.
Of course, just because it’s in my hand, I don’t know how well I can use it since I’ve only handled a sword.
However, wouldn’t the true power of the sacred object be able to give me one chance at a time?
The answer to my question was simple.
“I do not know.”
In response to Ronan’s answer, Luna shook her head as if she was the same.
The fact that Ilwoldang was the one that kept Lapelt was related to that name.
However, the words ‘I don’t know’ of the two seemed to be a little different from just saying that I didn’t know.
Luna said while carefully eating a spoonful of the meat soup.
“To be precise, no one can find Alixion.”
“then… … . Does it not exist in the world?”
“no.”
Luna shakes her head.
It was Ronan, not Luna, who answered.
“Alyxion is a visiting holy object.”
“You’re coming?”
“okay. Come to those who need it. That is why, even in its long history, Alixion has rarely appeared in the world.”
The concept of coming, not seeking.
It felt pretty strange.
And the story of the holy relic, which can be said to be one of the most important things in the world, is coming and going in a snowy mountain village.
“If you need me, I will come to you… … . Are you saying that Alixion will appear before me if I need it?”
“Then, anyone in the world would be able to use Alixion. Alixion does not answer ordinary wishes.”
“That unusual wish… … . What is it?”
Luna accepts Ronan’s words.
“It’s a holy relic of Ritter. What do you need?”
ah.
“courage… … . Are you?”
“yes.”
Since it is the god of courage, does it mean that it is a sacred object that appears in response to the wishes of those who have courage?
be courageous
Isn’t that what you’re looking for?
Actually, the person who almost killed me came and asked me to do something, isn’t it a courageous act even if it’s the truth?
Aren’t you qualified to be Alixion’s master?
I may be conceited, but I certainly think so.
When I seem to have a puzzled expression, Luna looks at me with a hard expression.
“Reinhardt, what do you think is the most important thing in courage?”
“… … yes?”
I didn’t understand Luna’s words for a moment.
“The most important thing in courage is… … . What else do you have besides courage? bravery? confidence? what… … . Is it like that?”
When I didn’t seem to understand, Luna shook her head.
“Let’s say you have a terrifying enemy. For example, let’s say there is a dragon in the other world you mentioned. A fearful foe that you will never be able to face in a normal way.”
“… … yes.”
“Let’s say you’re going to do something about it and you’re blocking it. Even though you know you can’t deal with it. Imagine fighting against it with the mindset that somehow it will work out.”
“… … yes.”
“Do you think that is courage?”
If that’s not courage, what is it?
I was about to say that, but I held back because Luna seemed to have something to say.
It was Ronan, not Luna, who continued talking.
“That kind of thing is called bravery, not courage.”
At that, I was speechless.
“For recklessness to be courageous, what would it take?”
Luna quietly stares into my eyes.
bravery and courage.
the difference.
I think about the difference between the two concepts that I have never seriously thought about.
Bravery and courage are, strictly speaking, very similar words. Because the concept of trying to fight against or confront something is the same.
However, arrogance is basically a word that includes stupidity.
why are you stupid
It is foolish because it believes that it can stand against an unmatchable opponent and is arrogant.
What is the difference between courage and courage?
If decency loses stupidity, it will become courage.
Desperation from which conceit and stupidity have been removed.
The bravery of those who are wise and have a good grasp of their dragon power.
“… … .”
In spite of being unable to oppose it, despite knowing that it is difficult, I oppose it.
In other words, if the basis of courage is to confront the opponent even though you understand it properly.
What is the most important thing in courage, I had no choice but to realize.
“fear… … . That’s it.”
“okay.”
It is not bravery, pride, or fighting spirit that makes courage into courage.
knowing the opponent.
to be afraid of opponents.
confronting nonetheless.
That was the condition of true courage.
