Moon repeated, her brows knitting together. "It was actually our first choice, but that place is uninhabitable. Sure, our race is immune to the glacier plague, but the same can't be said for the food and supplies we need for daily life. And let's not forget, the environment is brutal—even for us. Adults in our race can barely handle the cold, but the kids? They wouldn't survive. It's not a place where a civilization can thrive."
Her tone grew firmer as she dismissed Venera's suggestion, convinced he didn't truly understand how unforgiving Winter Valley was and only read about it in the books. It hadn't earned its place among the thirteen deadliest places in the Dark Realm solely because of the glacier plague. The valley itself was a relentless, frozen wasteland that could bring even the strongest dark races to their knees.
"It's not just the glacier plague freezing living beings," Moon continued, gesturing with her hands as if trying to make Venera visualize the severity. "It freezes everything—anything with even a hint of heat in it. Food, tools, furniture... you name it. The slightest warmth is enough to trigger the plague, and whatever gets frozen becomes so brittle that a simple touch could shatter it. We've tried using items with ice attributes, but even those don't last. Our body heat transfers to those item, and that's all it takes for the glacier plague to claim it."
Moon's voice grew heavier, frustration creeping in. "Living there is impossible under those conditions. And yes, I know we're Froslings, but we're not mindless ice eaters. We like our meat well-done. Sure, we can chew and digest frozen meat if we have to, but we prefer it cooked. It's tastier that way. The thought of surviving on frozen scraps in a place where even cooking could spell disaster? That's no life for a civilization."
Her eyes flicked to Venera, her expression daring him to counter her argument. She didn't doubt his intelligence, but she couldn't see how anyone—even someone as resourceful as him—could overcome the sheer hostility of Winter Valley.
"Good," Wyatt said with a satisfied nod. "Then return home and start making preparations. I'll send the modified Frosell title demon core method within the next forty-eight hours. Until then, spend some time with your family and friends. Because after this, you won't have much free time. Trust me, you'll forget what time off and leisure even mean."
He admired how decisively Moon had agreed to his terms without hesitation. That kind of resolve and conviction was exactly what he looked for in people who would work under him.
"Yes, Master Crafter! I'll be patiently waiting to hear from you at my house in forty-eight hours!" Moon responded with the enthusiasm of a cadet addressing their drill sergeant. Her voice was firm, yet a mix of fear and excitement flickered in her eyes. She was terrified that her race might squander this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but at the same time, she was thrilled by the prospect of Winter Valley becoming her people's new home.
Why had she bought in and agreed to Venera's seemingly outlandish claims and outrageous demands so quickly? Because why not? Her race had lost their native realm, endured decades of inhumane experimentation, been discarded as lab waste, and suffered millennia of oppression under the Snow Elves. The only hope for breaking free of their oppressors was to modify their current title demon core method—an endeavor her entire race had pursued for over a century, without success.
And now here she was, being handed a modified Frosell title demon core method essentially for free. All Venera asked of her was to trust him and rally her people to the Winter Valley for a chance at a better life.
What moved her most about Venera's proposal wasn't just his promise of a better future—it was the way he made it clear that those of her race who trusted him and gathered at Winter Valley would become his people. Moon had witnessed firsthand how Venera treated those he considered his own. Joining his group wasn't just about survival; it was an honor, a chance to be part of something greater. To Moon, that was worth more than the modified title demon core method he was offering to convince her people.
