Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 463: Breaking Through the Earth
Wow.

On the empty snowfield, two straight figures slid on the snow at an astonishing speed, and snowflakes were constantly being discharged on both sides, leaving behind traces.

"Exoskeleton, high-speed movement mode attached to additional equipment has ended."

Mashu stopped in time and put down Ritsuka Fujimaru in her hand, and Li Ye not far away also put down the girl Gerda, and then looked at the village surrounded by high walls in front of him.

Apart from a huge door, there seems to be no other exit from the village.

and--

"The great barrier formed by the gate covers the entire village. Is it to drive away the giants and other threats?"

Li Ye noticed the existence of the barrier at a glance. Its effect was so strong that even he and Mashu, who were servants, were affected by it.

Moreover, the magic power that constitutes the barrier is extremely similar to the ice and snow magic that covers the entire Nordic Lostbelt, and it can even be said that they come from the same source.

This is the village No. 23 where Gerda took them after picking herbs. It is also the village where Gerda belongs.

"Mashu, where is the location?"

Li Ye glanced around, squatted down and threw the spear of light to the ground, which instantly pierced through the snowfield.

"It is estimated that the current location is the former Lake Vänern—"

Mashu immediately began to check the map and made a rough judgment based on the various trajectories of previous movements, saying, "It is a lake located northwest of Lake Vättern.

This means that this village should be a town that does not exist in pan-human history."

“It’s still a lake—”

Li Ye stood up, patted the snowflakes on his hands, and said, "Then let's go in first and see what's going on inside."

During his contact with the girl Gerda, Li Ye almost dug out all the information.

Although there is also the issue of young girls having limited horizons, what is certain is the cultural difference.

Although it is located in Northern Europe, the culture that the girl has been exposed to since childhood is completely different from Norse mythology, and there is a very obvious sense of strangeness.

Without much nonsense, Liye and Mashu followed Ritsuka Fujimaru and Gerda into Village No. 23 under the pressure of the barrier.

"Haha, it's an incredible feeling, very wonderful!"

Gerda smiled happily and said, "I thought that so-called guests only existed in stories of the past, but now I can welcome real guests like this, and the three guests are all imperial emissaries!"

Happy, very happy.

I picked life-saving herbs and met guests.

I am really happy today!

The girl's mind is as pure as snow, without any negative emotional pressure.

"The Imperial Envoy——"

Li Ye's eyes moved slightly. He had heard this word from Gerda before. It refers to a messenger who will arrive at the village within a fixed period of time and give various precious materials.

The man carried a knife and a saber and possessed a certain level of military power.

Li Ye, who was thinking, did not participate in the conversation between Ritsuka Shindomaru, Mashu and Gerda, but kept looking at the buildings around him.

From the architectural style, it is the style of European villages, which has not changed for thousands of years.

but--

rustle.

The village covered by the barrier maintained an extremely comfortable temperature range, and green was all around.

Li Ye frowned and looked around. With strong enough magic power, he took in the entire population of the village.

The number is not a problem, it is enough to support the continuation of a small village, but - it is too young.

So young that you can’t even see old people or even middle-aged people.

Liye had thought about what the situation would be like in the village that would require Gerda, who was only thirteen years old, to be sent out, but now it seemed that Gerda was both young and old.

"I miscalculated. Didn't you take age into account after confirming the approximate population of the village?"

Li Ye, who had experienced the world under the rule of Ying Zheng, frowned slightly. If a village is too young, there must be a specific way of dealing with the elderly.

According to his understanding, humans under the rule of Ying Zheng would accumulate toxicity due to long-term use of the drug [Imperial Gift] that could bring happiness. After their body functions began to decline, they would quietly die and become fuel for the holy body.

And here——

Doodle.

At this moment, the suddenly rising light curtain brought a familiar sound.

"Ah~ah~This is Shadow Border. Can you hear me, field investigators?"

Goldruf appeared in front of Mash and the others, seemingly adjusting the microphone.

"Eh? Director! Communication - communication can only be communicated within a few kilometers of the submarine -"

Mashu asked back with a surprised look on his face.

"Well, the technical consultant found a solution in his spare time while adjusting the equipment."

Goldroof said proudly, "Of course, it was the wise and mighty me who gave the order."

"As expected of little Mujik!"

Li Ye, who heard Goldruf's voice, came over and said with a smile, "If you keep working hard, the Clock Tower might not arrest you as an accomplice of Chaldea."

"No!"

Goldruf retorted in a panic, "Although I really want to correct your name that gives me goosebumps, I still want to ask why you were arrested!"

"Just kidding."

Li Ye waved his hand and stopped trying to scare Goldruff. He then smiled and said, "How does the communication extend its range?"

"Really? Don't be so scary!"

Goldroof muttered, "It's a hastily developed magic gift-style drone that relays the signal, so that the surrounding area can be expanded from several kilometers to tens of kilometers.

Although I heard that this device has both observation and communication relay functions, I didn’t expect it to be connected at this time.”

"By the way, how is the equipment debugging going?"

Li Ye got straight to the point and said, "At present, the search for the spirit vein is still confusing, but I have accumulated a lot of magic power, which can be used to search for the spirit vein. Before that, we need to complete the debugging of the equipment."

"The technical consultants are all gone to debug the equipment. Apart from maintaining the barrier, almost all the power of the submarine is invested there."

Goldroof, who was wearing a coat, complained: "The air conditioner is half turned off. If you don't find the spiritual vein, we might freeze to death!
As for the progress of debugging, the technical consultant said that there is still a long way to go, after all, there are many things that need to be fundamentally transformed.

You guys need to speed up, I can't afford to run into that guy who looks like Kamen Rider again."

Goldroof paused and asked, "Can we really find it?"

"I have some ideas now. I haven't tried it before, but I can try it now."

Li Ye hesitated for a moment and said, "If it is covered too much by ice and snow, then go a little deeper."

This was also the idea that Li Ye came up with after a long journey of several days.

Li Ye pierced through the earth. He didn't believe that he would not be able to find the veins covered by ice and snow.
