The sky cloudy and it felt like it would start snowing at any time. The sea was gray and just looking at it made me felt depressed.
We, Peacemaker, were looking down on the North Continent while flying in the cloudy sky on an airship.
The destination was governed by one of the upper aristocrats, the largest city on the North Continent-Norte Boden.
Norte is a port on the North Continent and one of the gateways. The North Continent corresponds to 12 in terms of clock numbers. To describe the North Continent in one word Countryside. There are remote areas and is a land where criminals flee.
It snows all year round on the North Continent, and there are no special tourist destinations or special products. The monsters are also strong, and the representatives are the white dragon and the giants.
White dragons spit blizzards from their mouths, and giants are giant walking stone statues that move in groups. Both are terribly dangerous monsters.
Due to the environment suitable to make prisons, the king who governs the North Continent is leading the way and actively accepting criminals from other countries. In fact, he receives financial support from other countries.
The undertaken criminals are pushed into large prisons and used as human resources to dig up underground resources.
Other countries can reduce long-term detention of criminals and maintenance costs, and the Northern Continent can secure human resources and financial support to dig up dangerous underground resources and export the resources dug up in that way.
Recently, it seems that prison has been created to dig up underground resources again.
Therefore, if you say, Im from the North Continent, youll be treated as a country bumkin, and theyll make a fool out of you.
In the case of Snow, she is from an orphanage on the Fairy continent, so she hasnt had that experience.
The reason why we, Peacemaker, came all the way to the northern continent at the end of such a place, was to find a clue of Snows parents whereabouts.
Snow and I were abandoned and raised in an orphanage on the Fairy continent.
Snow descended from an ethnic minority living in the depths of the North Continent called the White Wolf tribe. So, I thought that if we contacted and talked to the White Wolfs, there might be some clues about her parents.
Originally, I suggested to Snow to go looking for it about three years ago, but she said, Of course Im glad to go, but I think the North Continent is a bit tough for us now.
According to the information that Snow researched about the North Continent and the White Wolf tribe:
The White Wolf is an ethnic minority living in the depths of the North Continent.
The territory overlaps with the giants that inhabit the North Continent.
Therefore, it is necessary to prepare enough equipment to counter the giants.
Also, we were delayed because we were extremely busy saving the High Elf Kingdom, launching the sword, and solving the magician murder case.
Aina, a friend of Snow who was in the same room at the magician school, came all the way to deliver Snows diploma. She pointed out the search for Snows parents and came to look for her.
By the way, she has already left Kokori.
It seems that she has not decided on the place of employment after graduating from the magician school. She said she did not mind because she got the money from the magic school.
For the time being, she seems to want to hang out and walk around the world for a while.
She said that she would contact us again once she got a job, then we saw her off. We left the city after that.
My wives, Chris, and Liz did not object to the dangerous search for Snows parents. My disciple, Meiya, was happy to board the airship. The escort maid Shia was also on board to take care of Liz and the others.
Besides, it seems that the reason why she did not bring in the maids who were escort maid apprentices was that they are not yet at a level where they can take care of the wives.
We landed the airship on the square inside the city. In a city of this size, a warehouse dedicated to airships was prepared, but first, you must negotiate and took steps to borrow it.
It was a system that you landed on a dedicated plaza inside the city and rented a warehouse or waited for a vacancy. There were about two similar airships other than ours
A large amount of snow began to fall from the cloudy weather. We changed into thick clothes to protect against the cold.
It is amazing, the double walls lined up on the continental side at the back of the city. They are clearly larger than the other continents, thick and sturdy.
[Its amazing.]
Chris put up a mini blackboard and agreed with my impressions. The Russian hat that covers her ears looked cute. She was like a snow fairy.
As you know, there are giants on the North Continent. Every few years, giants who separate from the flock appear in the city. That wall is to block such giants and defend the city.
Shia answered the question in her maid outfit.
In addition, Norte has underpasses all over the city. This underpass is a remnant of measures against giants. It is said that the general population fled to this basement and evacuated when it was still a small village and town.
And as the city grew larger, the expansion work was made repeatedly, and as a result, it became a huge maze where no one grasped the whole picture.
Because of that, the underpasses are not used at all now.
Shea added such an explanation. Also, she did not try to put on anything warm. She was just holding the bag with an MP5K in her hand.
Dont you want to wear a jacket or something? Its cold as it is.
No, no problem. Im a maid.
Seriously!?? Maids are too amazing!
Well, it was a blizzard out there. Lute, do you know where the adventurers guild is?
Of course, I checked with the receptionist before leaving Kokori.
As expected of Lute-sama! You cant miss it.
I threw out my chest proudly answering Snows question. Meiya was in high tension as usual.
There was a similar receptionist in the Adventurers Guild in the Dragon Continent, the High Elf Kingdom, and Kokori Street, but is there one also in the Adventurers Guild in Norte?
Well, it isnt possible. There arent people with similar looks one after another where we are heading.
Liz, who was traumatized by the receptionist, uttered her denial. But Liz, there are times when you say that Youll raise a flag.
By the time I finished the preparations and left the airship, it was snowing in earnest.
There is no umbrella in this world so, it is common to wear rain gear that is completely covered from the head like a raincoat.
We wore rain gear that covered all the way to our heads.
In a blizzard with poor visibility, I started walking towards the Adventurers Guild of Norte Borden.
If it were sunny, I wouldnt have to use rain gear to hide my head. That way, I would know the situation immediately from the townspeople, and I wouldnt have to make such a fuss in the Adventurers Guild
As expected, we had no way of knowing the inside of the city at this point.
