Black Witch Log-in

72. Hot Water Bath

Carrying a goat on his back, Estrid along with the children and the goat troupe continued the journey towards the village.

“Although only a few days but this feels so long.” said Estrid when looking at the village from a distance.

Estrid and the others can see the smoke rising high into the sky coming from the village. If in the story of the film maybe it will be a sign that is not good, such as a bandit attack that plundered the village or a monster disaster.

But they were all not worried because the smoke was coming from a hot spring created when Estrid was looking for magma liquid due to Grock's demand.

The underground river flow seeps into the hole that Estrid made to reach the magma layer in the earth. Luckily he was able to close the hole before a large amount of water washed the magma pond I found.

Estrid could not imagine what kind of disaster could happen if she closed the hole she had made late.

The impact of the right waterway above the magma pond made the underground river began to heat up, as a result of water vapor that continued to gather causing a large explosion until a Geyser was formed.

Luckily the Geyser appeared some distance away from the village so there was no damage whatsoever. But the explosion caused everyone to panic thinking a volcano had just erupted

A geyser is a hot spring that continuously spouts steam periodically. Utilizing the hot springs created accidentally, the villagers took the initiative to make a hot spring in the village.

“That sounds fun.” muttered Estrid can't wait to feel the hot spring rumored by Sania has been completed.

The atmosphere of haru occurs when the children return to their parents. Meanwhile Sania orders some villagers to take the goats that Estrid's entourage brought to a farm built close to the underground fields.

“So will you cook that one?.” Sania pointed at the goat that Estrid was carrying on her back.

“No, he will be my mount.” replied Estrid who then brought the leader of the goats to the house of the village chief to be treated.

“Herka, I'm back!.”

“Welcome, woah did you bring that goat from hunting?.” Herka was also surprised by the goat Estrid was carrying.

“Really, but sorry this is not for eating.”

Herka immediately made a recovery medicine for the goat, because seeing the animal starving Herka then asked Estrid to take her to the underground field along with her friend.

Estrid did what Herka said, and the old woman suggested that Estrid, who looked so dirty with blood after days of hunting and not having time to bathe, to rest in the baths built on the path to the secret cave.

“I was very curious about the hot spring.” brought two Wolves, Estrid entered the underground passage that connects the river to the underground field.

(Estrid POV)

After walking for the last thirty minutes we reached the field. The place was so green with a glorious wheat tanama growing, on the other hand there was a view of the grass where the goats were grazing.

“Because hunger makes hell like a meal.” said Priska who is still in the fields to watch the goats not to enter the wheat fields.

“Maybe we have to make a cage for them.” I said who then took down a six-foot goat. The animal that had made me sick to my stomach from his crunch just kept staring at me.

“Why? Is my blow too strong that you become amnesiac to forget the way to then?.” I said, the goat just bleated in response. Alaska and Pluto suddenly get angry at the goat and constantly growl at him.

I don't know what the goat said that the two Wolves were so angry. Out of curiosity I glanced at Priska.

“The previous fight is not finished, I will challenge you again after my stomach is full. Said mr goat.”

“Do you want to be my dinner menu HAH!. Says Pluto.” I felt that girl was too good when translating animal language.

I looked back at the goat whose saliva was flooded like a leaking dam. “As for you, you will definitely be my mount in the end.” the goat again shouted after hearing my words.

“No way, I am the descendant of a heavenly beast. I will not allow myself to climb my holy back. Said.” said Priska.

The two Wolves were further enraged by the goat's arrogant remark, I immediately took them away before there was a bloodbath.

“Descendants of Heavenly stars,” I again stared at the six-legged goat who started enjoying fresh grass in the fields, “Interesting.”

Before going to the hot spring I made a fence around the wheat fields and pastures. Using Table Crafting ability I can make the wooden fence automatically. After the temporary farm was finished in the wake, I went with Priska to the bath.

The sound of water splashing was heard accompanied by 15-meter-high jets of hot water coming out of the small pond, the incident continued to occur periodically every 30 minutes.

Some ponds are made by residents to accommodate hot water coming out of geysers. The pool that forms a level where the closer to the source of the spring, the temperature in the pool will be hotter.

I put my feet into the pool of water covered in a thin mist signifying the high temperature of the water.

“Uwaaa.. this is quite hot.”.

For a while I tried to get my skin used to the temperature of the pool water, until finally I dared to put my whole body into the pool after it felt warm enough.

“Aaahh... It feels so good, all the fatigue I feel as if lifted from my body.”

I really enjoyed this bath. Soaking in the pool of warm water I stared at the gloomy sky, the state of being so calm made me somewhat sleepy.

But the sound of the children also in the bath woke me up, they were playing with both Wolves in the pond which was located lower with a lower water temperature.

“Even though I have educated them hard, but they can still show such cheerfulness. I'm grateful they didn't lose their human side.”

My head rests on the boulder so I can see the sky. “If only the black cloud did not exist, this place would definitely be perfect.”

Enjoy soaking in a hot pool while looking at a sky full of stars, but that would be perfect. But unfortunately I couldn't possibly feel that as long as the other three field bosses were alive.

“For that I need to get the last material.” My gaze is fixed on the mount Frieg right in front of me, a stunning view of the towering mountain piercing through the sky.

“It will be a difficult journey.”

Looking at the mini map I found information about the monsters inhabiting Mount Frieg, the weakest had level 50 while if it got higher to the top I could meet level 300 monsters and above.

“If I go to that mountain now it's the same as I'm looking to die, but I have to do it because soon the tournament will be held.”

I thought there would be no problem if I just sneaked away the monsters and dug up the materials I needed. The mini map ability will support me in not meeting strong monsters during the trip.

But if I use it that means I have to go alone. It's a bit hard to leave Alaska and Pluto, but this is also for their good.

“If only I had summon.” skills
