Gun-ota ga Mahou Sekai ni Tensei Shitara - Chapter 155

On the land side of Norte Boden, the largest city on the North Continent, there is a huge double wall.

This wall is to prevent the invasion of monsters and giants inhabiting the North Continent. Therefore, it is thicker and stronger than a general wall, and many guards are stationed there.

So, I was worried about how to get over it… but because the underpass extended to the outside of the ramparts, we were able to get out of the city without being noticed.

It seems that the necessary supplies bought in Norte were also carried out in this way. At that time, it was said that several men from the advance team would carry them out and load them on a sled.

When we went outside, the morning sun had already risen, and the trees in the forest and the snow on the ground were shining brightly.

We didn’t take a break and continued walking in the woods. We were heading to the place where the advance team was based.

While walking, we introduced ourselves other than Snow and me.

When Chris and Liz were introduced as my wives, Ice said “Yes”, she muttered without changing her expression. It seems that she was not very interested.

“Ice, do you keep track of the entire underpass?”

“No way. We only know a small part.”

As expected, it seems that the White Wolfs do not know all of the underpasses that have been repeatedly expanded.

“Lute-kun, look. Beautiful flowers are blooming even though it’s cold like this.”

“Oh, that’s true.”

The flowers that Snow found were squeezing through the accumulated snow and blooming beautifully. It looked like a lily of the Earth in my previous life.

As expected, in a different world, some flowers bloom in the cold season when it snows. I don’t know why because I’m not a botanist.

“‘Snow White’. It’s a rare flower that only blooms on the North Continent.”

“Snow White? It’s the same name as mine!”

Snow smiled happily. Ice explained further.

“It’s a flower that we, the White Wolf, rarely finds, and it’s said, ‘I’ll give good luck to those who get it.’”

“Well, but we are on the run right now… And I am a bit reluctant to pick a flower with the same name as me.”

“Ok, let’s go.”

Ice didn’t force her to pick “Snow White”, she replied coolly and started walking again. We walked for about an hour while chatting and passed through the forest.

It seems that there was an advance corps base on a plain in the back of the forest.

“Stop! Get down!”

As we approached the border between the forest and the plain, Ice gave instructions with a sharp voice. We reflexively laid down on the spot.

After a while, I noticed something unusual.

A sound “Zun … Zun … Zun …”. A tremor that was gradually felt like an earthquake. At the end of my line of sight, a group of giants appeared trampling the snowfield.

“That is a giant…”

I muttered alone.

The condition to become Adventurer Level V is “Exterminate Dragon x 1, Giant x 1, etc…” In other words, the Adventurer’s Guild evaluates giants as having the same strength as a dragon.

Such giants moved in a group in front of us.

Although it is called a giant, you can tell at a glance that it is not a normal creature. It looked like it was made of stone. There were no joints, and it looked like a sculpture carved from a single stone.

It’s a stone statue, a golem.

There were over 100. The size was about 15m, this is the average height. This group was a herd with members that went between 10m to 30m. The herd this time has a certain height difference of about one or two heads.

There are various types such as those who are equipped with rugged full-body armor that has various appearances as well as shapes, those who have a flat face and only stretched limbs, and those who have a strangely thick body.

The only characteristic other than the materials that make up the body was that everyone had a long spear of the same material in their hands.

The flock of giants lined up in the snowfield like a marching army and continue to walk undisturbed. It was a kind of fantastic sight.

“If you mess up a little, they will attack you in a pack, so don’t cause trouble. Even if the giants notice you, they will attack you.”

Ice hit the nail just in case. I didn’t dare to get out even a little…

Even if we could blow off several of them with Panzerfaust or anti-tank mines, it was impossible to defeat them all. Then huge countless spears would be thrown by the giants who could not be destroyed. Massive mass attack. Just thinking about it made me tremble.

Let’s not dabble with it.

We kept hiding unnoticed and waited until the giants passed by and disappeared.

“It’s okay, it’s okay to stand up. The giants won’t come around here for a while, so let’s move with peace of mind.”

“Do you know all the routes the giants walk?”

“Yes, it’s within the living area of ​​the White Wolf tribe.”

Ice nodded and started walking to the front.

“For the time being, it seems that people other than the White Wolf tribe also know the path and time that the giants will take as a rule of thumb to some extent, but it is far from us.”

Ice said with a proud voice. Suddenly, I changed the topic as I remembered.

“It seems that a long time ago, a magician from the North Continent was doing research to control the giants.”

“Oh, I know that. I’ve read it in the library of the Wizard School. Well, long ago…” Snow said.

A magician began researching to control the giants. However, the magic that was created as a result of the research was a failure that merely gathered the giants. In the end, the researcher’s magician was trampled by the giants who gathered in the magic of his failed work.

It seems that the acquaintances of the magician who saw it sealed this magic as a taboo.

The books I read were picture books and fairy tales.

The author wrote at the end of the book that the book was a story to convey the lesson that “if you deal with things beyond your own power, you will destroy yourself.”

It seems to be a relatively famous story in the North Continent. The story seems to have become a book in the form of picture books and fairy tales on other continents.

About 30 minutes on foot in the snowfield a white dome began to show.

I was familiar with that white dome.

(Yes! Is that an igloo?)

An igloo was famous on earth as a residence of the Inuit people in the previous life. It was a building made by cutting out ice blocks and assembling them into a dome shape.

As we approached, several men who seemed to be watching over appeared.

Ice waved and let her guard go. As we got closer, we could see the other person’s figure. Men also had silver hair and animal ears.

“Wait here for a moment”

Ice stopped us and headed for the men alone. After having a conversation, they beckoned us and called us.

Just in case, Snow and I took the lead and headed for them. In this case, the White Wolf tribe who cherished the same family would not suddenly attack.

Despite my worries, Ice Cream and the men welcomed us.

She made a faint smile,

“Welcome to the temporary village of the White Wolf Advance Corps. We welcome you.”
