The first destination was Les Mountains.

The electronic network that composes it quickly absorbs and learns unfamiliar environments like the brain of a newborn child.

The place where Optrus could get the most information was the castle site located halfway up the Les Mountains.

Numerous humans were running around, and everyone was spreading information like an explosion.

At a level that even he couldn�t perceive, Optrus sucked in all the information based on his instincts.

Electromagnetic networks were blazing in an infinite pattern, breaking new ground.

Arriving at the Leth Mountains around dawn, Sirone and Amy ate a meal at a food stall before arriving at the ticket booth at the old castle ruins.

The entrance to the ticket office was also crowded with tourists.

After waiting in line and buying a ticket, Sirone opened her eyes wide at the spectacle unfolding in front of her.

�wow����.�

The old castle site was completely repaired with ice as its material, not stone or soil.

As the sun�s light caused diffuse reflection, everything reflected in my eyes sparkled like diamonds.

Even the spirited Amy�s face flushed red in front of the scenery she was seeing.

Sirone was satisfied.

Even when he was taken to the Galliant Ruins, he was embarrassed because things went wrong from the start.�Wasn�t it not enough for him to fight against the parrot mercenaries and follow him to heaven and pass the ordeal?

In order to make up for the hardships at the time, I promised myself that I would have a pleasant trip this time.

�Let�s go.�It�s gonna be fun.�

Sirone and Amy moved along the snowy field.

The rainbow bridge connecting the towers, the railings along the battlements, and the stairs inside the castle were all made of ice.

�This is why it�s called a winter festival.�

Since the structure would collapse if the temperature rose, the site had to be closed even in early spring.

Eventually, when summer arrives, the ice melts and disappears, leaving only the dreary remnants of the castle.

As if the memory of a winter day was a midsummer night�s dream.

�Sirone, let�s try that.�

Amy pointed to a food stall.�She was selling ice treats, a specialty of the winter festival.

Sirone put the cold ice snack in her mouth and chewed it.�Strawberry syrup was mixed with white snow and frozen.

�Okay, I bought something to eat.�Where should I look back?�

�Of course, we should go see the Ice Queen first.�

Amy took Sirone and headed for the castle. JrNovels.com
