The meeting was destined to be short-lived.

After all, whether it is Ronald or Audret, they all have a mission at this moment.

After resting underground and recovering from her state, the nun awakened the four dazed-looking human spellcasters, and then took the summoned captives and headed back to Entrod.

Ronald escorted the team all the way back to the ground.

Standing on the ice field and watching Audriet and the others leave unharmed, Ronald then turned around and began to destroy the entrance to the underground cave system.

Ronald then entered it alone.

He spent most of the day cleaning the cave thoroughly.

Whether it's the fish that slipped through the net in the summons, or the suspicious things they left behind. Ronald swept it all up before chanting a spell and flying into the air to continue chasing his fellow expeditioners.

……

The journey after that.

Ronald had no idea of losing time at all.

But the days it took him to clean up the summoned creatures lurking in the Northland were also real.

In addition, the expedition team has Kostadt to take care of it, and at the same time, it has the protection function of the lantern in the sea.

Therefore, the speed of the expedition's advance is also unquestionable.

So much so that during the first two days of the trip, Ronald really didn't find his companions.

Instead, it's the cold, clean sky.

Ronald suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the experience before the crossing.

The polar environment on Earth is also absolutely unsuitable for human life, but in such a seldom visited area, nature has always shown its magnificence without reservation.

All the way north.

Ronald at an adjusted height that makes it easy to search the ground.

He has a great view of all the magnificent scenery.

The North Pole of the world, the ice sheet is somewhat similar to the Antarctic continent on Earth.

Heading north from the continent of Latochoa, all roads converge on a terrain shaped like a ginkgo biloba. At the same time, it is also the only way to leave the continent of Latojoya and go to the continent of Northland.

It's actually a mountain range.

However, due to the movement of the earth's crust and the surface ocean, the sides of the mountain peaks have been completely submerged by the sea, leaving only the peak of the mountain range that winds its way forward, becoming the only land that protrudes from the sea in this case.

It was here that Ronald finally discovered the traces of his fellow expedition mates.

They left a camp here.

Although the tent and the like have long since been removed, the excrement of the bighorn deer and the traces of the camp's fire make it evidence that it was used as a camp not long ago.

Since Ronald specifically adjusted the height at which the scenery can be enjoyed.

That's exactly what he saw.

"Are you finally going to catch up......"

Seeing these traces, Ronald immediately descended to the ground to check out the details of the camp.

It's just that......

The situation in front of him made Ronald a little embarrassed.

His original plan was to land on the ground to check the traces left by the camp, and then judge the distance between the two sides, and determine how long it would take him to catch up with his fellow explorers.

But now look at the frozen remnants on the ground......

To be honest, Ronald really didn't have the level to make correct inferences from such traces.

Under normal circumstances, he could certainly make some reasonable guesses.

However, in the Northlands, or after leaving the continent of Latojoya.

The temperature at the top of this mountain, which connects the Arctic ice cap, is so cold that all traces of it have been preserved by the extreme weather.

Ronald's knowledge reserve.

It does not contain judgment in such extreme cases.

"Forehead ......"

"Sure enough, it's still different, huh?"

With a little emotion, Ronald did not continue to dwell on this.

He just reached out and scratched his hair, and then continued on his way to the north.

I can't guess the time, anyway, as long as we move towards a common goal, the two sides will meet on this land sooner or later.

……

Another half-hour trek.

With Ronald's remarkable mobility, he had reached the end of this mountain range buried beneath sea level.

Not far ahead, sporadic ice has begun to appear on the surface of the surrounding sea, as well as white ice sheets that are directly connected to the top of the mountain and spread to the end of the view.

No doubt.

Ahead lies the Arctic continent of this world!

The outcropping part of an undersea mountain range has become a single-plank bridge connecting two continents.

In the past history of this planet.

What kind of geographical activity took place to make such a surprising picture visible?

"Even if you come to travel, you can say that it is rare to see ......"

He sighed at the somewhat touching spectacle in front of him.

Ronald also slowed down slightly.

Everything that came into his eyes at this moment really made him a little addicted.

Because there is a mountain peak that connects the Arctic continent with the normal continent, the polar regions of this world are not completely separated by oceans like the North Pole of the Earth.

It is for this reason that it is also possible.

A larger number of animals came to this ice-capped continent through this mountain road, and then evolved their own unique ecosystem.

Life that can also guarantee body temperature at tens of degrees below zero, basically has a thick fat layer, or delicate and soft hair that can withstand the cold.

The life of the whole world.

It's like a wonderful elf hiding under a thick cover, and everything is very different from the usual biological systems.

And one thing that makes Ronald quite happy.

The fact that there are no penguins spraying feces all over the ground on the ice sheet directly makes him feel more senses here.

"Wait for the dust to settle......"

"Can I think of a way to build a house here as a place to relax?"

Ronald couldn't help but have such thoughts.

He himself is a person who likes ice and snow environments, and even when he completely activated the "Divine Comedy", he was in the final trial of "Purgatory", the trial world that extends from his heart, and it is also a realm composed of ice and snow.

If you can have such a leisure ice source as leisure in addition to daily leisure.

That Ronald was absolutely happy to the extreme!

Not to mention his current physique as the holder of the original canon.

The temperature of the Arctic in this world is tens of degrees below zero, and it does not pose any threat to him at all.

It's the perfect place!

I thought about it alone.

Ronald admired his surroundings with gusto, while continuing to make his way north.

Luck seems to have come at this moment.

Before nightfall, Ronald expanded to detect spells with the maximum power of 'rage'.

Finally in the edge position.

Captured real signs of human activity!
