Northern Wall (3)
It has been four days since we arrived in the walled city of Bifrost. The city’s maintenance went smoothly.
Thanks to the sun I raised over the city, people took off their clothes and concentrated on their work.
Thanks to this, a strange scene unfolded where I changed into fur clothes at the city wall facing the north wind and took my clothes off again when I came out.
“It’s narrow.”
“Please understand. It is still the largest building in the city.”
A training ground used by the Bifrost Guard. I looked around the conference room, which was so cramped that I could immediately feel the heat of the person next to me.
“It might be inconvenient for everyone, but let’s be flexible.”
It was only natural that hundreds of people were packed into the small barracks.
“We will soon begin investigating beyond the wall. Are there any volunteers?”
The members slightly averted their eyes at my question. Well, I didn’t expect it.
If you’re like me, you probably don’t want to stay in the city and go through all the hardships to go beyond the wall.
“Gluttony.”
“Ah, yep! Master…!”
“Try to organize 100 battle wizards. Since the weather is bad, make sure to include the Reds. We need to make a bonfire.”
“Oh, I understand!”
Wizards who have no complaints even though they use elites from former magic towers for bonfires. Marie gave the children a good education.
“Master, is the rune construction work going well?”
“We are diligently engraving every major point on the wall.”
“Master and Professor Josephine, please continue the rune construction… Cranel and Yuel, deploy upgraded versions of the Wicker Warriors. So that they can sortie in case of emergency.”
Druid Yuel laughed at my words.
“Are you collaborating with this person again?”
“······why?”
“No, you… the tension is strangely high when making golems.”
I think I will have to leave the interior of the city to this extent and form an investigation team soon.
“Senior Marie and Alisha are going with me. Hwaran is staying in the city in case of emergency. Doron and Germain. Are you there, Germain?”
“Huh? Oh, I’m here, Senpai!”
Germain, standing between 200 people, raised his hand.
“You form a group with Ren and Ron. You will not be directly involved in subjugating monsters, but will only be in charge of guarding the surrounding area.”
From noble mtl dot com
“Oh, I understand.”
An investigation team of approximately 500 people was formed. They are all elite knights and wizards.
“I… Lord Corrin.”
At that time, it was Lord Bjorn Solderg who raised his hand. He was nominally a regular soldier, but that was only a show-off punishment, and he participated in the meeting as a reference.
“Speak, Lord Bjorn.”
“As far as I know… I heard that the purpose of the investigation team was to investigate the climate. But this…”
“It looks like you’re here for war, right?”
“No, that’s it…”
Yes, 800 is a small number. But what if those 800 people were all knights and wizards?
Even conservatively speaking, the Guardian’s combat power is equivalent to 100 regular soldiers. They are superhumans from a different level from the moment they were born.
There are 800 superhumans like that? And that’s just for climate research? This is ridiculous.
“I’m sure other members are aware of this, but I’ll explain it in advance for the city’s security guards.”
I declared, looking around at the small group of senior guards, administrators, and Lord Bjorn.
“Climate survey is an excuse. Our purpose is to defend the wall and clear the surrounding area. To hold out until the Holy Maiden’s Expeditionary Force arrives.”
The prelude to the final act of ＜The Legend of Arhan Heroes＞.
『Frost Giant – Nastrond Field Battle』
The reason for the destructive skirmish was the disappearance of the Northern Wall and the chaos in the kingdom caused by the Valkyries and barbarians who invaded the northern part of the kingdom.
If winter continues like this and the breakwater called the Northern Wall collapses, it will be the second coming of the Frost Giant War.
‘But this episode is very different.’
A prophecy spread by Catholic doomsday prophets for propaganda purposes.
The age of the wolf will come and the dark beasts and giants will rise…
The role of the prophecy is the awakening of the Infinite Serpent of siblings Ren and Ron… and Miriam.
I safely brought three people, one of the key figures of the prophecy, to my side, and the plan to revive the giant was aborted when the magic tower collapsed.
Now, the only thing left for Balthazar is the Frost Giant. If only the battle in which the demon king in the myth reveals his true identity could be cut in advance…
‘This war. ‘You can use all your capabilities in the final battle.’
“The monster wave will come soon. It will be bigger than you can imagine.”
“Monster Wave?”
“On what basis…?”
Of course I don’t believe it. Among the people I brought with me, everyone except the Guardians members seemed to think that way.
In times like this, there is a good excuse to use.
“This is Saint Estelle’s prophecy. Have you heard the popular prophecy these days?”
“ah···.”
“Well, it’s the saint’s prophecy…”
“Then who is the savior of the sun?”
The trick of being a saint worked well here too. Anyway, if we have convinced you that this is the case, the next order is the order to be given to the investigation team members.
“From now on, the scouting team beyond the barrier will eliminate all the monsters and demonic spirits around here. So far, we have been neglecting them to be quiet on the other side of the barrier, right? When the monster wave comes, they will join us as well. We are eliminating the strong ones in advance.”
“Oh, I understand.”
“After this…”
The key to preparing for the monster wave are the Valkyries and North Kingdom tribes, the ‘northern invaders’ who rebelled against Balthazar and were pushed out.
We must stop those who have broken through the barrier before Balthazar’s demonic army arrives.
‘Well… I have to do this part.’
It’s not like I couldn’t do it last time either. Because they are sisters who can communicate with each other.

After the work was finished, Hwa hurriedly visited the local administrator.
“Do you think storks live here?”
“huh.”
The elderly administrative official is a native of this area. He immediately gave the artist the answer he wanted.
“Yes, there is a stork colony around here. They come here in the spring, and the sight is truly spectacular.”
“······.”
“But why did you ask that, nun?”
“Nothing.”
Hwa came out of the bureaucrat’s office and looked up at the sun shining down on the city.
“fury. “It’s an opportunity.”
“······Yes. I know.”
But not right now. Both Hwa and Ran are adults now. He is a member of society who has drunk a lot of society.
The two now know that having a child is not normal. Even more preparations will be needed in such a cold remote area.
so.
-Clink!
“Ba, ba, ba-ba-ba, what did you just say…?”
Josephine calmed her pounding heart as she wondered what she had heard during the meal. Hwa asked again in a clear voice.
“Preparing for childcare. How do I do it?”
“W-why on earth did you do that?”
“Because I need it.”
“Hmph!”
Josephine acted as if she was out of breath.
“Well, that means…”
Josephine’s hand holding the fork trembled. I rolled my eyes as I looked at the people around me, but everyone had different meal times because they were repairing the wall. It was a very fortunate thing.
“Did you spend one night with that Dutch student… that Corinne student?”
Hwaran interpreted the meaning of the question directly.
“Yes. A lot.”
Has it only been a day or two since I slept in the same bed with Corin? What’s new?
“crazy······.”
Josephine felt like the sky was turning upside down.
Even though the world is moving fast these days, does this mean that Ida-ji is also in despair?
It was none other than student Corin! Corin Locke! Even though the rumors were bad, I believed that he was a sincere man!
“Ah, what are we going to do with Erin…?”
Poor mother. It was difficult for Josephine to stop herself from sighing, but the water had already spilled over.
“Hwaran… Ran is listening too, right?”
“······huh.”
“Are you ready to raise a child?”
The two are girls in their prime. Those two people are already ready to raise a child…
“huh.”
However, Hwa’s response was resolute. This resolute determination is probably the same for Ran as well.
“Whew… It seems like just yesterday that I was like a newborn and didn’t know what the world was like…”
Has the girl I brought from the East already covered Idajido? Josephine raised her glasses and hugged Hwaran tightly.
“You will have a lot of hardships in the future. Having a child is not easy.”
“know.”
“Still… since we have a lot of time left, let’s take our time and think about it.”
Joséphine looked at Hwaran, whose stomach had not come out at all, and guessed that it would be approximately 2 to 3 weeks. However, anger just tilts its head.
“I need it now.”
“······.”
Did you become anxious after having a child? Seeing this easy-going girl in such a hurry, it seems that having a child brings such a change of heart.
“I understand. Let’s just say it’s an experience…”
Josephine took Hwaran to the city.

Wizards are basically a high-class workforce.
No, from the perspective of high-ranking people who consider the expression ‘labor’ to be vulgar, they do not even use the expression ‘labor power’.
Mado is a study that explores the truth and pioneers the world. Therefore, the direction of their path is always forward toward the stars.
There are many wizards who mistakenly believe that, but Marie, who is considered the next great wizard of the magic world, knows that magic is a very convenient all-purpose tool.
It starts a fire where there is no spark, and when there is a shortage of agricultural water, water is poured out by combining oxygen in the air.
Even black magic, which is classified as evil magic, can become excellent agricultural livestock if chimera control techniques are used well.
However, the use of this aspect of life has not developed at all, because the price of magicians is higher than necessary.
“Chunsik, light some firewood over there. Daesik, try growing some plants here to reinforce it.”
Now that the wizards of the Magic Tower have been reduced to slaves and their noble spirit has become a joke.
“The water stinks. Can’t you do your job properly?”
Wizards have now become nothing more than all-purpose gadgets.
“I will correct it!”
“Daesik! Sprinkle some scented candles in the water!”
“I understand, Chun-sik!”
At one time, the wizards who represented a school in the towering tower of magic fell to the point where they even lost their own names.
“Okay, okay, you did a good job making the instant hot spring. Now, go downtown and take care of the residents.”
“Oh, I understand!”
“That’s right, Chun-sik, go and bake some potatoes. Give them to the kids as a snack.”
“yeah···!”
Marie, who had beckoned the high-ranking elite magicians, looked at the completed instant hot spring and looked pleased.
“hehehe, I’ve prepared some scented candles that are good for fatigue, so Corinne will also relieve some of her fatigue, right?”
After sweating off all the sweat in the gym, he will be very happy, as he ends the day with a bath.
“hehehe… Should I ask you to take a bath together? Ah… Isn’t that right! Ahahahaha, be manly…”
Marie, who was happily imagining things, knew that Corinne would reject such a manly act.
But in order to progress your relationship with him, you need to get closer. Marie was in a heightened sense of crisis during the battle for her son-in-law that took place in the royal capital last winter.
As Marie bites into the baked potato that Chun-sik has baked, she imagines the fine line that Corin will not find repulsive.
“Hmm…! Yes! That’s it!”
First, take a hot spring bath. Of course, mixed bathing would be rejected, so I wouldn’t even suggest it in the first place.
But what about after the bath?
The warmed skin will be soft and warm, making it a great pillow.
‘I’ll stick close to you because I’m sucking blood… and when you’re done, I’ll tell Corin, “Let’s rest.”‘
Following Isabelle’s advice, there was a proven method.
He laid Corinne in his arms, saying it was to relieve his fatigue. Corinne falls asleep right away when she lies down on my soft chest…
-gulp!
“hehehehe······.”
Marie laughed heartily, unable to control the corners of her mouth rising.
Now all you have to do is invite Corin. Marie quickly went to the city to get Corin before anyone else found out.
I know where Corinne is. You must be tired because you are still exposed to the sun.
“Yes, yes! You must be tired. You must be very tired!”
This is to relieve that fatigue. This is all for a good cause. As Marie walked towards where Corinne was, she saw an unexpected person.
“this?”
“Yes, the local carpenters are better than I thought.”
“Huh? You’re gorgeous… Professor Josephine?”
The two of them came out into the city together. Did they come to buy something?
The moment Marie was talking to Hwaran and Joséphine, she heard something unexpected.
“They say babies like toys like this.”
“A wooden doll like this?”
‘baby?’
Why a baby all of a sudden? Is that wooden doll even a baby toy?
“Well, you think you prepare in advance. A Dutch student… no, you are now a full-fledged mother of a child…”
‘Eh? Eck?’
for a moment. wait for a sec.
“And Corinne, does he know that he’s having a baby soon?”
“I do not know yet.”
“hehehe… it would be best to tell you quickly. I lost my self-control and laid my hands on you… I wonder when and to whom I will extend my magic.”
“You’ll find out soon.”
Marie dropped the potato she was eating.
– Cheolpudeok!
Her heart was crushed along with the potato that hit the floor.
A war is on the horizon but this kind of thing happened, poor Corinne. He is being slandered because people forget that Hwaran had never been given sex ed.
Potatoooooooooooo….
