My level increased by one after completing the daily examination. “Well it's time to work hard today too!.” closes the status screen, my attention turns to the fields that are being worked on by residents.

A waterfall that looks refreshing flows so fast in the corner of the room. Previously I had made a tunnel connecting the village with the cave. Besides being intended for river waterways, the tunnel was also used for transportation routes.

“I also get a lot of material when building the tunnel, it is a result of doing more excavation today.”

Satisfied to see the fields I then went to the store to send daily supplies of materials.

After the business cooperation plan with some top guilds started to run, we needed more materials to meet the demand for weapons. It seemed like Hanna was also increasing the number of forging workers to increase productivity.

“I hope he doesn't focus too much on business. Hanna should have enjoyed this game more.”

After completing the delivery of the materials, I exited the shop and intended to see the southern part of the village. I want to see how the bridge is going.

***

“Very bad.” I said when I saw the ruins of the bridge connecting each of the banks of the big river with a width of more than one kilometer.

I can see how hard this job is. In addition to the cold, the river flow was so swift, then the equipment that the villagers had was inadequate.

Seeing the ruins of the bridge on both sides of the river made me think how they made the bridge before.

“At least need heavy equipment such as excavators to make a bridge over the river this wide. But do they have such a modern tool?.” My head is full of questions.

Being haunted by curiosity I asked the villagers who were also in that place. But unfortunately they do not know how the bridge connecting the village was built.

"It looks like the age of the bridge is even older than most of the villagers."

No human inhabitants knew about the origin of the bridge, I finally asked Grock who was the dwarf and the oldest resident.

“The bridge was built by the Giants.” Grock said.

“Giants?.”

“True, they are the residents of the kingdom Tamuz.”

Grock recounts that the Giants of the kingdom of Tamuz had a great influence not only on the continent of Jotun but the whole world.

“Not only are physical shapes great, they also have intelligence beyond human. Giants Tamuz kingdom is very different from the current Giant.” Grock glanced at me as he said that, as if he was comparing my intelligence no better than Giant Tamuz kingdom.

Grock's story made me curious to see the kingdom of Tamuz. But it might be very difficult if I had to climb Mount Frieg once again. Even so I have decided to look for it because one of the items needed to complete the Grock Weapon quest is there.

“But by the way what size are the citizens of the kingdom of Tamuz until they are referred to as Giant?.”

“Not all Giants have such large body sizes as people imagine. For example, you are a Giant Race but are no different from normal humans. Although the body size of the Giant is different, they have one thing in common: an unusually large force.”

Gian's strength, I think it's because of the Giant's race bonus of adding two points to the strength.

After our little conversation, Grock decided to go back to work to help build the bridge. Since I have absolute immunity to the Ice element, they also asked me to make the foundation of the bridge pillar in the river.

It was not a difficult job for me because the skill of a good swimmer made it easy to swim and make blocks on the riverbed. But what made this job difficult was the strong currents and the river-dwelling monsters.

A monster fish with two sharp clawed arms attacked me while he was crafting stone blocks as a foundation. The fish as big as an adult dog scratched my back until the blood dyed the river water red.

‘Syit!.’ I swore in thought as the pain in my back began to feel even more painful due to the extreme temperature of the river water.

The fish monster went back to attack but I was already prepared this time, he quickly swam my anger. The sharp claws were ready to attack but I immediately used the spear to defend.

‘Oh come on.’

Unfortunately my spear attack was avoided, the fish monster swung its claws but the arm shield protected me. Using the opportunity when we were close together, I Sega grabbed one of the fish monster arms while the other hand clasped a knife.

Stab! Stab! Stab!

I stabbed several times using a knife in the stomach of a monster to get him killed.

Ding!

The notification ended the fight between me and the monster fish, but the war has just begun. In this vast and freezing cold river there are thousands of monsters ready to prey on me, my strength which is now unable to fight them.

The more in the middle the stronger the monster I fight. Because of the problem of monsters and river dwellers maybe the construction of the bridge will not go as fast as I expected.

I had to do dives a few times because the disturbance from the fish monsters made me spend more time fighting them than stacking blocks. But lucky the longer I dive making the skill level [Swimming expert] increase to [Swimming Master].

In addition to increasing the duration of breathing while diving, the [Swimming Master] skill also opened the speed of swimming to increase, now I can move quickly distribute the torpedo in the water.

Out of the water, I'm just wearing the inside. Ordinary people would definitely die in how many seconds from hypothermia if they did the same as I did, but that would not be a big thing for me.

“Estrid are you okay?.” Sania looked worried as I came out of the water with a body full of claw wounds and bites, blood pouring from those wounds. But in one breath all the wounds closed again.

“No problem.” reply me short.

All the men's gazes were instantly fixed on me due to the great temptation of wanting to see me who had just swam. But they immediately divert attention when Sania starts to get angry.

I immediately put on the equipment I had back, the action made a sound of disappointment heard from the men.

“Good work.” Grock said as he stared at the foundation of the bridge I had just built. There are two foundations with a distance of 50 meters each. They will start building the pole gradually, while my task is done for now.

“For now this is all I can do.” I had to get stronger to build more foundations until I reached the riverbank on the other side.

Bidding farewell to Sania and the others, I was with Alaska and Pluto left the river and headed northeast. Follow our mini map to the forest area where this area becomes a hunting ground for villagers.

“Hem?.” My steps stopped when I sensed that some people were following me.

My attention turned to the two Wolves who already knew we were being followed, but both of them just kept quiet because they felt the stalker would not pose a threat.

“Freely hiding, I've seen you guys there.” I said to the stalkers trying to hide.

“Uwaa... we got caught, how is this?.”

“A... I told you we can't follow him.”

“But...”.

“What will miss Estrid get angry?.”

“That's bad..”.

The stalkers started arguing with each other. “Have you guys come out I won't get mad.” said I reassured the stalkers. Then some kids started to come out of where they were hiding.

“As expected of Brother Estrid, you know immediately if we follow you.” Byrome confidently approached me, while the other children hid behind him.
