The room is made of ice, so the whole color is blue. Just looking at it gives people a cold feeling, and it is completely unsuitable for human habitation.
Ophelia didn't feel anything unusual. In fact, the temperature in the room was still within her acceptable range.
The second person appeared in the room. He was a warrior in armor. He was a Servant, a Servant who descended with the job of "Saber". His real name was Sigurd, and he was a great hero in Norse mythology.
"I'm protecting you."
"I am safe in the Queen's palace."
"it is good."
The swordsman said nothing and faithfully carried out Ophelia's orders.
After making sure her Servant had left, Ophelia opened the communication.
A virtual light screen appeared in front of Ophelia, and the magic-based spell penetrated the limitations of time and space, connecting her to the two Lostbelts. Kirshtalia Vodem appeared on the screen.
"Ophelia, how are you these days?"
"The situation is good. The queen is kind. She has love for everything in the Lostbelt. I have successfully reached a cooperative relationship with her."
After reaching a cooperative relationship with Scathach Skadi, Ophelia's activities in the Nordic Lostbelt became more convenient. Although she stood beside the queen as a minister, the queen also recognized the existence of the Imagination Tree, so she was on the same side as them, the "Crypters". The goal had been achieved.
Kirshtalia listened to Ophelia's words on the other side of the screen, and then said, "Of the seven of us, Ophelia, you and Kadoc are operating the most smoothly."
"What about the other situations? We don't know about Akechi Hinako for now. The emperor has his own ideas..."
Kirshtalia, who is in charge of the Atlantic Lostbelt, is the core of the Hidden Ones. The other Hidden Ones all regard him as their leader.
Ophelia tells Kirshtalia about the situation in the Nordic Lostbelt where she is, and Kirshtalia tells Ophelia about the situation of other members. In terms of progress, only the Nordic Lostbelt and the Russian Lostbelt are progressing the fastest.
After listening to the whole situation, Ophelia asked the key question: "Captain, should we take action next?"
"Are you referring to Chaldea? We're still a little short of time. The specific time depends on the actions of Goyanskaya. Secondly, I plan to let Kadok be in charge of this matter. Ophelia, you concentrate on operating the Lostbelt." Kirshtalia said.
Ophelia nodded to show her understanding. Then, the communication screen was cut off. Ophelia was the only one left in the room again.
She thought about it and left the room.
She needs to communicate with the queen again and try to make the fantasy tree sprout in the near future.
——The fantasy tree has been planted, but it has not sprouted yet. The queen has no intention of letting the fantasy tree sprout for the time being.
"To see the queen?"
"I know. Come with me. Swordsman." Ophelia said.
The swordsman looked indifferent, but Ophelia was used to it. As long as she could use the opponent's fighting power, she didn't care about his attitude.
Walking on the corridor, Ophelia looked at the snow and ice outside. The weather reminded her of her time in Chaldea.
She used to be a member of Chaldea, but now she is the enemy of Chaldea. As a magician, Ophelia can easily accept the change of position, but there is only one person.
That girl named Mashu.
Now I have to be her enemy.
Ophelia felt a lot more complicated when she thought about this. However, this matter can be delayed. The Lostbelt has not appeared on Earth yet. The "Crypter" has not appeared directly on the stage yet.
She still has plenty of time.
Amid complicated thoughts, Ophelia met the queen of the Lostbelt, the god who exists in the world, Scathach Skadi.
However, the other party's first sentence confused Ophelia.
"Ophelia, the servant that you mentioned that belongs to the pan-human history seems to have appeared on this land." said the Snow Queen.
"Your Majesty, the Lostbelt has not yet completely descended on Earth. How could it cause a reaction in pan-human history?"
"In my perception, a strange person appeared. He helped many people who left the village yesterday and built his own village. Isn't it a Servant of Panhuman History who can do such a thing?"
The Queen's perception spreads across the entire world. The ice and snow of the entire Lostbelt are her eyes.
Ophelia did not doubt the Queen's actions, but was surprised by this phenomenon. Building a new village under the ice and snow? To achieve this level, you need to set up a barrier, first of all to ensure that the temperature can be maintained at a normal temperature. Then you have to consider food, clothing, housing and transportation.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, do you need our help?"
Those who can do this are mostly servants who descended with the Caster class. Facing the strongest Saber, even a Caster who is setting up a position will not be a match.
Scathach Skadi shook her head and said, "No, it doesn't matter whether he is a Servant of pan-human history or not. As long as he appears on my land, I will treat him equally. As long as he is not my enemy, I will love him.
I am more curious about what he wants to do. The barrier he set up blocked my view. I have sent an envoy to observe the situation in the village. I will continue to pay attention to his actions. Ophelia, are you willing to be a spectator with me? "
"What an honor."
Ophelia said respectfully.
Chapter 101 Village No.
Village No. 101.
The newly built village was given this name. No one objected, as if it was a matter of course.
Li Mo, who proposed the name, was quite surprised, but when he thought about it, they didn't care at all.
Yes, they.
The village that Li Mo chose was built on the mountain, and the Feng Shui was pretty good. Among the 103,000 magic books in his mind, there were many magic books related to Feng Shui. For personal reasons, he also specially studied that kind of magic books.
Have relevant knowledge and use it subconsciously when choosing terrain.
It looks like a good place to choose?
Li Mo stood at the highest point of the village - on top of the wall.
The wall was made of mud and was built overnight by Li using a magic spell. Unlike the houses in the village, the wall has a barrier built into it. If you stand outside and look at it, you might miss the entire village.
As far as he could see, there were about twenty young people working, both men and women, but both men and women were working with farm tools.
It has been three or four days since I met Gudmon and Doti.
On the first day of their meeting, after meeting Gudmon and the other two, Li Mo realized that there were many people in the same situation as them. Adhering to the principle of saving one person, saving more, he sent the shrine maiden shikigami and the warriors created by the "Dragon's Shadow" to search other places. On the next day, all these people were transferred to the village one after another.
——These people were all expelled from the village on a chosen day. Although they were all young people, they were actually similar to the “abandoning the elderly”. They were all due to a lack of supplies, and the redundant population was left to die.
At first, I didn't understand it, but later when I was building the 101st village, I realized it.
Young people are excellent laborers. But in this Lostbelt, human labor... is practically nonexistent. The land in each village is so large that only a small amount of labor is needed. There is an overabundance of laborers.
Why twenty-five... I guess it's something Skadi figured out after a long time of exploration. You can't just let the child die, right?
Li Mo pressed his temple. He didn't think it was difficult to build a village from scratch at first. He had done something similar in Teyvat, in Inazuma, and when solving the problem of Yayun Island.
But in the Nordic Lostbelt, this task was extremely difficult. This was a Lostbelt with scarce resources. Even something as common as soil in pan-human history required him to work hard.
It took several days to reach the current scale. Even Li Mo, who has almost infinite vitality, felt tired.
When I think about the subsequent sowing of the farmland and the birth of the crops, I feel like giving up. But when I think about it, things have been done to such a high level. Wouldn’t it be a mockery of my hard work in the past few days to give up now?
Immediately, Li Mo's sight shifted from the interior of the village to the distance outside the village.
"What is this?"
He could see that there was a being called Valkyrie.
In Norse mythology, these women are the ones who guide the dead warriors to Valhalla. In this Lostbelt, they appear before humans as "messengers of God."
Li Mo discovered those imperial envoys the day after he rescued Gudmon and the other two. That night, he built the prototype of the entire village, which caused quite a stir.
It was natural to attract Skadi's attention.
But after those imperial envoys who could represent Skadi came here, they just watched and didn't communicate with me. Was their attitude friendly or hostile?
Li Mo hates speculation.
What he hated was the uncertainty behind speculation.
"It shouldn't be an enemy."
If they were really enemies, the Valkyries, who were used as combat weapons, would have already rushed up and fell to the ground like snowflakes, just like the giants. Not making an enemy of me now was a kindness.
If the village didn't need to be maintained, I would probably be in Skadi's castle now communicating with the queen, right?
We can't just sit back and do nothing.
Deciding not to bother with the Valkyries anymore, Li Mo left the wall with his hands behind his back.
The exploration of the past two days has also paid off. According to the information they have inquired, they have never come into contact with people like Fujimaru Ritsuka. As a shield soldier, Mashu has obvious characteristics, and those people will not be wrong.
Not to mention Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka, even Napoleon has never been seen...
Li Mo was not sure, was it because his search range was not large enough, or was it because he came too early? The answer to the question could be found from Skadi. When everything on hand was finished, he would go find her.
There were many idle people in the village. After being rescued by Li Mo, they fully realized their situation and began to work hard to farm. Li Mo was surprised at how quickly they adapted to the environment.
——Maybe it's because I'm treated as an imperial servant? That's why they're so obedient.
During the day, the most leisurely person in the village is Li Mo. His work is often done at night, farming and using magic to ripen seedlings. This mechanized action does not prevent Li Mo from doing two things at the same time.
Now, the most leisurely person in the village has found the second most leisurely person.
Dottie, the first woman to meet Li Mo, was also cultivating farmland like the men. In the current 101 villages, women were used as men and men were used as livestock. Fortunately, with the enchanted tools provided by Li Mo, the difficulty of cultivating the land was not very high.
When he was in Inazuma, Li Mo knew how difficult it was to reclaim real farmland. Now the reclamation of Village 101 seemed to be a miracle.
"I might leave in a few days?"
"Master Imperial Envoy, have we done something wrong?" Dottie asked with his eyes wide open.
Over the past few days, everyone has gotten used to working under the watchful eye of the Imperial Envoy. Dottie can't help but feel anxious when she thinks of the Imperial Envoy's departure.
Where did the uneasiness come from? Dottie probably didn't understand.
Li Mo would not change his mind because of Dottie's attitude. He roughly estimated the workload and found that he could complete his work in a few days. Then he could get away from the complicated village affairs.
Informing Dottie was also to let the other party prepare psychologically in advance. In a few days, Li Mo realized that Dottie was suitable to be a manager, so why not choose Gudmon? In Li Mo's opinion, Gudmon's brain was not as good as Dottie's.
Empty, suitable to be a warrior. But... in this Lostbelt, human warriors are not needed.
After telling Doty his decision, Li Mo left again. As for the farmland, Li Mo used a technique to help the seedlings grow faster after sowing, but it would take some time before the harvest. This all required their own efforts.
Next, I have to prepare to maintain the magic of the barrier after I leave.
Li Mo already has an idea about this.
