280 – 268.The World I Don’t Know-2
Three days have already passed in Breeze’s nest.
I didn’t know it because I didn’t stay there for long when I was in Bern, but Breeze’s nest was very cozy.
In addition to the basic cold weather effect, it is sturdy enough to withstand strong winds, has a wide space, and even has a natural refrigerator created by the snowy mountains.
It could have been a popular lodging company for influencers, except for the altitude sickness and the landlord being a dragon.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Because the natural scenery unfolding at all times was insanely beautiful.
“Good morning.”
“Good morning. Mr. Freeze.”
“What’s for breakfast today?”
“This is a whole wild boar that Mr. Freeze caught the day before.”
“Ugh! Is it a meat diet starting in the morning? ….”
“Do you not like it?”
“No! I like it!”
Breese smiles brightly at my words even as she rubs her sleepy eyes.
The innocent appearance of young Breeze automatically reminded me of Renee.
Since they are mother and daughter, it is probably natural in a way.
I also smiled and carefully carried her food.
“If it seems like it’s not enough, I’m thinking of roasting one more. What do you think?”
“For some reason, I want to eat something hearty today!”
“I understand.”
I inserted a long skewer into the mouth of the thawed and cleaned wild boar and stabbed it with all my might.
My physical strength was poor, but thanks to strengthening my body with magic, I was able to penetrate to the other side.
The wild boar that was ready to be roasted was placed on the bonfire and spun around with its own power.
All the meat was cooked evenly and seasoned with salt and pepper in between.
“Is it still far?”
“Coming soon! “Please wait a little longer.”
In no time, Breeze has finished eating a wild boar.
He was patting his stomach while licking his lips that were shiny with oil.
Although she knew how to cook deliciously, she actually had no talent at all.
Among the offerings offered by the villagers, there were a lot of seasonings, but they were neglected because they did not know how to use them.
It was said that until now, wild animals and plants had been consumed raw.
“I didn’t know eating could be this much fun!”
“I’m glad you realized it now.”
“Yes!”
After the meal, Breeze went down to the foot of the mountain to go hunting.
In the free time I had, I carried out the training I had done when I was in Bern’s body.
With my weak body, I couldn’t fully digest Bern’s training, but I tried to catch up little by little without overdoing it.
In particular, he had a knack for mana management that was better than Bern’s, so he made great progress in training his magical power.
“Whoa…” !”
After sweating profusely from morning exercise, I wiped my body with a cloth soaked in glacier-melted water.
I hated myself when I felt the soft flesh instead of Vern’s strong and firm muscles.
I wish I had exercised at least a little bit in this life.
At the same time, I realized once again how arduous a path Bern had taken.
“This is not the time.”
Wow!
I calmed down by tapping my cheek with my palm.
Meditation at the top of a snowy mountain with little oxygen was painful and difficult.
However, if the environment is harsh, the level of achievement actually increases.
If I push myself to the limit, my desperation increases, and my mindset becomes that much more desperate.
In fact, my magical power doubled in three days, so I put aside my doubts and shook off random thoughts.
Close your eyes and feel the mana floating completely in the air.
Floating fragments of mana.
Although I couldn’t grab it with her hands, I let my mana flow out little by little and pulled her towards me.
I applied my color to the pure essence within the fragments.
Little by little, little by little, I take control of space by making mana my own.
“Write… ! Ha… ! Write… ! Ha… !”
My arms tremble and cold sweat runs down my spine at the task that requires caution.
It means that it is still an early training method for me.
However, he pushed ahead in order to reach a higher level.
‘Just a little more… !’
The energy in my entire body began to flow back, and a fishy-tasting liquid flowed from the corner of my mouth.
My nervous system heated up and my whole body felt like it was on fire.
I felt like I was going beyond the edge of my mind and would fall unconscious at any moment.
“Ugh… !”
I can’t hold on any longer!
Just as I was about to lay back and rest, there was a hand gently supporting my back.
“I will help you, so hang in there until the end.”
“Ah… ….”
“Don’t answer! “The mana you worked so hard to gather is dissipating, right?”
I kept my mouth shut and continued with the work of controlling mana.
I grabbed the manas that were about to disperse and pulled them to me.
When the pain was worse than before and my eyebrows narrowed, a cool and refreshing energy came from my back.
“I will share my mana. Then the pain will be less than before.”
“I feel… buy….”
“Ugh! You burn! “I told you not to answer.”
A spicy fist landed on the top of my head.
I thought my mana would be scattered as my concentration was broken.
However, Breeze’s mana, which had spread throughout her body, held on tightly to prevent her other mana from leaving.
Thanks to this, I was able to fully control the mana that came from nature.
“It looks like it was successful.”
“It’s thanks to Freeze’s help.”
“Well, I just put a safety device on to prevent your body from being damaged. “The rest was created entirely on your own.”
“hahahaha….”
The collected mana expands the vessel and widens the passage.
The more mana you have, the more diverse the magic you can use.
I remember everything about the theory while living in Bern’s body, so what I needed was the amount of mana.
‘If I had a Dragon Heart, I wouldn’t have to worry about this…….’
Unlike Bern, he was not confident that he could take Breeze with his ordinary-looking body.
If I had a holy sword, I would have at least tried it.
Putting aside my regrets, I tried using the newly unlocked magic.
“Hmm, not bad.”
Mana became Kang Jun-hyuk’s initial spec.
I guess the reason I, an ordinary person, was able to grow to this level in a short period of time was thanks to the environment and Bern’s training methods.
Kang Jun-hyuk, who had stabbed Bern in the back even after learning such excellent training methods, was once again frowned upon.
“Geonwoo, I’m hungry.”
“Ah! Now that I think about it, you came home early today? “You usually skip lunch and come back around dinner, right?”
“There were circumstances for that.”
“What’s going on?”
“The snow woman and the yetis were fighting fiercely on the mountain ridge. “I thought hunting today was bad, so I came back early.”
“The snow woman and the yeti are fighting… ?”
Didn’t the Snow Maiden treat the Yeti as her pet and sleigh?
Did the yetis revolt because they were tired of being treated like that?
I remember that the Yetis also enjoyed being treated like sledders.
“These are two races that have lived in this area since before I was born. “There are many cases where friction arises mainly due to territorial issues, so we fight every time we encounter each other.”
“I see.”
Looking back, the place I was in was a different world in the past.
I was able to understand because I had heard from the devil king that the snow woman and the yeti were not friendly at that time.
“I’m worried because the intensity of fighting has gotten worse recently. “If this continues, I wonder if a war will break out in the snowy mountains.”
“Wouldn’t it be cheap to fight a war in Mr. Freeze’s territory?”
“Unfortunately, there has been an unwritten rule passed down from generation to generation not to interfere with snow women and snow people, so it is not easy to touch them. “They know that too, so they are acting recklessly.”

“Is there no way to do anything?”
“If I had, I wouldn’t have complained to you like this.”
Breeze was smiling while sighing so hard that the ground disappeared.
I feel a little at ease now that I have no one to share my concerns with.
“It’s okay as long as no harm comes to me. Besides, it’s much better to eat the food you made while I’m worrying about those kids!”
“But wouldn’t it be better to prepare in advance?”
“Seeing as you keep saying things like that, do you think there is a good plan?”
“hahahaha, there is nothing like that. “I just thought it would be a good idea to threaten them not to fight here.”
It was better to do something than to do nothing.
If any snow woman or yeti does something that destroys the snow mountain, Breeze’s anger will become uncontrollable.
As just a foodie, I had no way to block her anger and was in a position where I had no choice but to naturally get caught up in it.
“Then will you do it for me?”
“Yes?”
“I was asking you to go to them and tell them my intention to fight moderately.”
“Are they going to ignore people like me?”
“I will give you my scales. “Show me your scales and I’ll believe you.”
Dragon scales are very rare.
Especially in the case of scales pulled out by the dragon itself, the implied meaning changes.
It means that you trust that person in some way, even if it is not true to the true name, which is a symbol of love.
It was not a good thing for a mere human to have.
“Are you okay? “Can you leave it to me?”
“If it were you when we first met, of course I wouldn’t leave it to you. “But after keeping an eye on you for the past three days, I found out that you are a fairly trustworthy person.”
“I think just three days is a short time to judge a person… ….”
“I trust my eyes. So don’t talk nonsense and just go. “If you don’t want to go, I won’t force you.”
“No. “I’ll be back.”
This is an opportunity.
If you successfully complete this task, it will be an opportunity to increase Breeze’s credibility.
If she had a special relationship with Gwangryong based on her trust, there was a high possibility that her future journey would go smoothly.
‘There is no one who can help me in the current timeline…’ ….’
Rene, Lin, Prah, Marianne, Chaos, Hades, Lily, Cestia, Meryl.
When I closed my eyes, the women who flickered before my eyes did not exist here.
Not only that, but all the strength I had worked hard to build up until now was gone.
I fell into another world where I was like a penniless person with nothing.
In order to survive, I had to build new relationships again.
“Then let me ask you a favor.”
“Just leave it to me!”
My new journey began here, in the snowy mountains of the north.
Now I get it why Breeze said that she felt similar souls… Now the plot solidified.
