After Being Exiled From the Country, I Became the Fourth Enchanter in the World!

Chapter 98

Chapter 98 There’s Nothing Better Than A Good Living Environment

Including Dan-san, everyone switched to <Body Strengthening Mode> and ran through the ice floor.

Although there were problems with this method, our distrust of Dan-san disappeared, so I buffed him without any restraint.

If we were being stingy, it would take a long time to pass this floor and we would get frostbite…

When I gave him a bunch of enchanted accessories, he scolded me with a fist, saying 「Don’t thoughtlessly trust other people!」, but … it’s okay!

After all, I’ve heard his true feelings with truth serum!

As usual, this floor is cold.

But I’m getting better at controlling Air Curtain, so it’s much better than the first time.

At that time, the gap between the air curtain and the ground was too wide, so there was always a cold wind coming in from under the air curtain.

The heating also changed from a small flame in a lamp to a fireball.

Before, the fireball could only fly straight.

However, after practicing hard, now I can control it freely to some extent!

Thanks to this, the environment has improved from a cold that made our joints feel like they were going to crack to a cold that just hurts our fingertips.

If I work harder and learn to manipulate multiple fireballs, maybe we can take a meal break as well on this floor.

Just like last time, we broke through the extremely cold zone in a day and a half.

Every time we took a small break, I made a cooling device for use on the tropical floor, but… Dan-san looked at me in astonishment, which made me a little depressed.

As for the boss on the 30th floor… I one-hit-killed it, and we took a rest in the boss room.

The boss will respawn after an hour or so, but until then, it’s basically a safe zone.

Even if we took a long break and the boss respawned, it’ll only increase the amount of materials we got.

「I didn’t expect to be able to pass through the ice floor in a day and a half. Enchantment is too strong….」

「Ahaha…」

Thanks to it, I’m enjoying my cheat life!

「Also… your Body Strengthening skill level is extremely high, isn’t it?」

「Hmm, that’s right…. The skill level is higher than Dan-san’s Swordsmanship skill. I also have an aptitude for Swordsmanship, but my Body Strengthening skill is improving more than it…」

「In your case, rather than saying that you’re good with swords, it feels like you’re good at fighting. Of course, you’re quite good with swords as well….」

「I think it’s probably due to my time in Rosalta. When I was in the Nonland household, I was always fighting against someone at a higher rank, so I got into the habit of seeing through my opponent’s weaknesses and fighting in a nasty way…」

「Even when Onii-sama and I had mock battles, he attacked my weak points thoroughly every time. Even when he was seriously injured, his fighting spirit never waned and he would try to fight back….」

「You guys are former nobles, right? That’s too brutal! (I thought I could win in terms of guts, but I was an idiot…. This guy is gutsy….)」

While eating Nina’s special diced steak, we discussed our future plans.

The warm meal warms my cold body~

「What? We’re not going to set up a base in the safe area?」

「We sleep on the tropical floor. We know that the safe area is safer, but….」

「What’s wrong? Why are you guys making strange faces…?」

Well, you seem to be fine with that kind of thing, but the smell is an important issue for us!

This time, we’ll operate on the tropical floor and lure Purgatory.

We have been exploring the tropical floor recently, so we have a geographical advantage on the 31st to 35th floors.

Since a battle is likely to happen, I want to position ourselves in a place that is favorable to us as much as possible.

The trees are thick and the visibility is not very good, but the conditions are the same for the other party.

But we have Presence Detection buff, so we have the upper hand.

「Fruits from the tropical floor are sweet and delicious after all~ ♪」

Ah… hey, Nina!

Don’t say that in front of Dan-san!

I was trying so hard to come up with a good excuse….

「Well… if the target’s actions suddenly change, the Purgatory guys will get suspicious, so I don’t mind doing it the way you normally do. Besides, I’m sure you guys can fight easily even on the tropical floor.」

「I am glad if you say so.」

「But don’t let your guard down. Purgatory’s intelligence staff can’t be underestimated. I hate to say this, but… there’s a possibility that even the guild’s internal information is leaked.」

「The guild’s…!?」

The Adventurer’s Guild is a worldwide organization, you know?

Naturally, they have secure information management.

If they can steal it… there’s a high possibility that they have a really good spy or someone who possesses espionage skills.

Assuming the latter… there’s a possibility that our information is being leaked to the other party even now.

The ones who quarreled loudly and leaked information to us were members of the third army… so we must be careful not to let our guard down and let them take advantage of it!
