"It's terrible. Most of the northern part of the country is covered in snow. It's not snowing heavily here, but it's getting heavier as you head northeast. I think Xicun is even worse."

"Where is your lord?" asked one of the women standing behind Kerry in the team of five.

"The master is inside, and he is directing everyone to work now!"

Kerry looked towards the densest part of the crowd...

A flat road had been dug out there, with snow and debris piled on both sides.

"Let's go and take a look." He gestured to the four people behind him.

Although this team was formed temporarily, everyone chose to help as soon as they saw the situation, even though they knew in their hearts that the role they could play was very small.

Walking through the crowd, in the brightest area of ​​the firelight, one could see a short man dressed in luxurious furs surrounded in the center, guarded by knights with swords.

"Baron Weigel."

A shout made Sean look up.

He didn't seem surprised because the map already showed five people coming.

It was the first time that Sean saw an area on the map with so many people densely packed together. In his eyes, the small white dots on the map were almost becoming an area. If they were not all moving and standing together, they could form an area.

But even though there were so many people, the people in his town were all shown as white dots, while the five people alone showed a yellowish color.

Sean wondered if this had something to do with his own friendliness. At best, they were friendly, but it was different from the townspeople's friendliness towards him. Even the colors displayed for the favorability of his good friend Dante and the others were different.

"Why are you here?"

No one looked surprised, but this was the first opening line they could come up with.

Sean even looked at one of the two women behind him...

Lucille's disguise and behavior in the team were indeed very different from the way she came to find him every night.

"We heard about what happened in Xi Village. Is there anything we can do to help?" asked Kerry.

"It's just right that you're here. We're currently digging a road along the mountain side, getting closer to Xi Village. I'll personally lead the team there and try to get into Xi Village after daybreak."

Because he could see the simulated map, Sean could more easily observe the areas with less snow cover. However, because he had never been to Xi Village, that area was in shadow...

If I get closer, I might be able to use this special ability to find the townspeople buried under the snow, although the chances of survival are slim.

But as a local lord, Sean had to do this.

Sometimes reason is not the only way, and human feelings are also needed... At least this way the bodies can be handed over to their relatives.

"But it would be too dangerous if it snowed." Lucille suddenly said in the archaeological team.

Even Kerry didn't expect that the girl who could do magic and who had always been reluctant to talk in his team would actually speak, because the team's expedition needed to gather people with various specialties, and it was no secret in the team that Illya could do magic.

"No, I can guarantee that it won't snow for some time to come."

Sean looked at the sky.

[Midnight, clear, 12:30:49]

If it is going to snow, the real weather will be predicted in advance, and it can at least guarantee that it will not snow within the next 12 hours.

You can even see that the weather icon below is still dark during the day, which means it is sunny and will not continue to snow.
