Chapter 875 Arriving At The Frost Island
—–”Damn, it must have been harsh.” Benladann cried.
”Yeah, you did your best!” Miranda cried at her side.
Charlotte was being sandwiched by two ice giants, her small size only making it more notorious that we were enormous in comparison to her.
”Uuegh… B-But I am alright now, please don’t pity me like that…” Cried Charlotte.
”Okay, but remember that we can always be friends as well!” said Benladann.
”You’re amazing, Charlotte. So please become our friend.” Said Miranda.
”E-Eeeh?! So soon? You’re a bit too trustful…” Charlotte pointed out.
”Well, you’ve given out your biggest secret to us like nothing, not like we can’t trust you now.” I said while shrugging.
”Hahah… I guess that I did.” Charlotte seemed to be fidgeting. “Please don’t tell anybody I am a girl actually, everyone thinks I am just a young-looking guy, I want that to stay for now. If they discover my true identity, my adventure will end abruptly.”
”Of course, we won’t tell anybody, you don’t have to worry about it.” I said while nodding.
”You’re so strangely reliable and slightly charming, Sir Drake! Thanks a bunch!” Charlotte quickly went back to her usual personality of a tomboyish sailor, her shy girly personality burying deep within her.
”Hahah, that’s the Charlotte I like the most.” I laughed.
”Charming?!” Benladann asked.
”I-I was just joking… He got a handsome face though, but he’s gigantic, not my type.” Said Charlotte while waving her head, calming down the jealously of my wife.
”Ahahaha! Right? He’s cute.” Benladann giggled.
”More importantly, I was thinking about a proposal, Charlotte.” I said.
”P-Proposal?!” Charlotte asked while feeling flustered.
”What kind of proposal, Drake?” Wondered Miranda. Strangely, she felt just as jealous.
The little pink fox resting over my head could feel their jealously growing larger.
”Geez, those two are really a handful…” Sighed Belle.
”T-The fox can talk!?” Charlotte asked.
”Ah yeah, this fox is my spirit… But she’s not important, ignore her.” I said.
”Oi! I am important! Somewhat…” Sighed Belle.
”ANYWAYS, what I wanted to ask you for is a big favor. Could it be possible if you became our employed sailor?” I wondered.
”Employed?” She wondered.
”We’ll make a contract and you’ll agree to become our personal sailor, and I’ll pay you in a massive sum of money in exchange every trip.” I said. “…Of course, with tons of materials I’ll give to you for trading, and more benefits.”
”Eeeh?! C-Contracted Sailor?! T-This has never happened before! But why me? You’ve done everything pretty much.” She said.
”I am quite intrigued about your history, past, and your unique Skill. You’re way too unique to let go, so you’ll join my group of friends.” I proclaimed.
”Eeh…? I feel like I am being dragged into something I will regret…” She said.
”You’re just exaggerating there! There’s nothing bad about it.” I laughed. “Well, I know its too soon now, but think about it for the moment.”
”Okay, I will try to think about it.” Charlotte said, as I gave her a paper I had just written for her using a slime clone.
After that, we continued chatting for the next hours, until we finally arrived safely at the shores of the Frost Island. Because this island was made out of frozen water, it was more like a gigantic iceberg. However, it had a shore where snow instead of ice was located, where we saw a few other smaller ships and boats floating calmly.
”We reached the Frost Island, its there! Finally I can get off this ship!” Yuki sighed in relief, jumping out and reaching the “beach” of the large island.
”Oi, Yuki, don’t run too far away!” I tried to calm down Yuki from running away from us, but she seemed to not be hearing us at this point. “And there she goes; she never listens to me…”
”Well, this is your destination, Sir Drake!”
Charlotte quickly placed a large wooden stairs for everyone walk down into the island without having to jump. We wouldn’t really have a problem with jumping, but it was a nice touch that she was so dedicated and gentle enough to let us use the stairs she brought.
”Thank you Charlotte,” Benladann said with a smile.
”Now that we are here, want to come with us?” I asked. “We can explore the place together. I heard there’s a town in here. Can you show it to us?”
”Sure thing! I am staying in here anyways until you go back to the mainland, so let’s go together.” Charlotte came along with us a bit too easier than I had imagined.
The Frost Island was, just as I imagined, a beautiful place. It was an enormous iceberg-like island that surrounded the enormous Frost Tower, only being a few kilometers away from us, we could see that gigantic dungeon from very close, it was lustrous and beautiful. The light of the sun atop the clear skies made it shine brightly, as if it were made completely out of a transparent jewel rather than a powerful divine ice that cannot melt conjured by a Venerable of the Ice Element.
The island by itself was quite varied even though it was merely formed by the coldness emanated by the frost tower that froze the oceans surrounding it. However, this island might had been existed for a long time, being older than Heaven Port itself, probably. It was said that it had been growing in size over the thousands of years, and that it has become tens of times bigger than it used to be.
The landscape is just ice and snow, but there are also large mountains in some areas, which are merely just very hard ice crust growing from the icy ground, and of course, many forests and plants that usually are found in the center of the Jotunheim Continent that somehow got here, probably through dispersed seeds in the air, or maybe planted by the Venerable herself. All these plants thrive in icy cold temperatures, and are usually light blue in color, beautiful and crystalline, this entire forest is like the garden of the venerable, as many have nicknamed the Frost Island.
