Snow covered the whole year the northernmost mountain range of the Dwarf Kingdom.
The weather was always extremely cold, and normal people didn't dare to live there. At most, some people chose the border areas for mental training supporting the cold, but as far as common people knew, no one dared to climb to the peak of any of the mountains forming the mountain range because the cold was unbearable.
Near the peak of the highest mountain, there was a cave that no one saw before because it was only created recently.
Despite being a place that no one would choose to live, three girls had been living there from some time, but two of them weren't glad about the situation.
"I want to meet big brother! I don't want to be in this place!"
A small girl with wolf ears shouted, but it wasn't a weird scene since she did it a lot of times before without obtaining any result.
"Wyba, shut up and train. Learn from your big sister. She also wants to look for your big brother, but she is training earnestly instead of complaining."
Wyba stopped complaining and started to train again. She was deeply grateful for that woman for healing Aiwai's soul, so Wyba was very obedient with any of her orders. However, she was impatient to meet Yale again.
Soon after Aiwai's soul was healed, she and Wyba felt that something bad happened to Yale's soul through their connection, but an instant later that sensation disappeared like if it had been a false alarm. However, both of them were extremely worried and wanted to look for Yale immediately, but they were stopped by the woman who saved Aiwai.
She told them that they shouldn't worry about Yale, and then, she brought them to that cave to train.
That woman was quite strict and cold when it came to training, and she said that they should train until becoming Law Gods, or she wouldn't let them go to see Yale.
Aiwai and Wyba complained saying that they could train after finding Yale, but they were unable to speak when the woman said that Yale wouldn't be able to be strict enough with them.
It was just as she said, Yale would never be able to look calmly while his sister was suffering in front of him, but that kind of suffering was important to temper their souls. Training always under Yale's protection wouldn't let them become truly strong in the future.
Wyba and Aiwai were already at the Sage Rank and even started to learn the Water Law thanks to the teachings of that woman and the power of their bloodline. In fact, they had been training in it for more than ten years since the day they met that woman for the first time when she saved them after falling into the space ripples.
Although the methods of the woman made Aiwai and Wyba be quite displeased, they also knew that she was doing for their own good and that despite looking cold on the outside, she wasn't a bad person.
She did her all to help Aiwai and always treated both sisters very well. Even that session of harsh training was something a lot of people would wish since harsh training like that was always better with someone monitoring the situation.
Moreover, she was an Essence God, and the Water Essence was the first she mastered, so she was very good teaching about the Water Law to others. She wasn't an exceptional teacher like Yale, but she wasn't a bad teacher either.
At the start, she only helped Wyba and Aiwai due to the request of the Mysterious Expert, but ended taking a liking for them, so she decided to force them to train in such an extreme place after healing Aiwai's soul.
Of course, for someone who mastered and fused with the Water Essence, cold weather meant nothing for her, and the other two had a higher resistance than it should be due to their bloodlines. A normal Sage Rank would be in danger of dying if stayed more than three hours in that place.
The Dwarf Kingdom only possessed that mountain range because they were in direct contact with it and no one else showed any intention of conquering it.
If someone showed interest in that place, the Dwarf Kingdom wouldn't have any problem gifting it, since they wouldn't risk the lives of their army for a piece of land that didn't have value in their eyes.
At most, there might be some valuable minerals there, but if they were valuable enough for Law Masters or Law Gods, they would have already gone to mine them. For other minerals, since even Sage Rank experts would have problems remaining in the mountain range, no one would go to mine the minerals there.
No one understood how the weather was so extreme because it was a problem of just that area, and it was the coldest place of the planet.
That mountain range had been like that from the creation of the planet, so it wasn't due to something happening to it, for some reason that no one understood, the creator of the world designed that place to be like that instead of having the usual cold weather of tall mountains.
There were rumors about the creator of the world had made it like that to hide something important inside those mountains, but no one had the guts to investigate what could have been hidden there since that was seeking death.
Not even the woman supervising the training of Aiwai and Wyba dared to investigate. After all, that was the world of her father's friend, and she knew very well that she wouldn't be his match. Moreover, that would be far too disrespectful, and even her own father would be angry if she did something like that.
Her father was someone quite strict despite loving a lot his family. He would never provoke true harm to any of his two precious daughters but punishing them for their actions was something he never hesitated since he felt that children needed to learn what was right to do and what wasn't.
She was very similar to her father in that aspect, so at the same time that she had taken a liking for the two sisters training in front of her eyes, she also turned stricter because she felt that it was good for them.
The days were quite repetitive in that cave, but that dull routine was broken when Aiwai suddenly mastered the Water Law and became a Law Master.
She had been in enlightenment the previous days, and that was the true reason for her being quiet instead of asking for Yale. She wasn't as insistent as Wyba, but she at least asked for him once in a day before having that enlightenment.
Since Aiwai had a Fake Origin Path, there wasn't any tribulation for becoming a Law Master, and the breakthrough was smooth.
"Congratulations. Do you now understand the importance of this training?"
She spoke like if she was an adult giving a lesson to children, and given that chronologically speaking, she was born before than Yale's previous life, she had the right to act like that.
Aiwai's soul was a bit unstable after it was healed since the method was unorthodox and she remained a lot of time in that state, but for the same reason, a proper tempering at that moment would have the best effects.
"Thank you very much. Can I now go to see Yale?"
Aiwai was eager for meeting Yale, and since she had become a Law Master, she felt that at least she should have the right to meeting him for a while.
"No. First, you need to breakthrough to Law God."
Aiwai sighed as her suggestion didn't work.
"I feel deep respect for you, but why are you so mean with those conditions. Becoming a Law Master in this short time was difficult but possible. However, who knows how many years we will need to become Law Gods."
The Time Freezing Wolf Bloodline only helped until Law Master, from that point on, the bloodline wouldn't help at all. It was already good that for Aiwai and Wyba, it wouldn't become a problem as it had happened to Ronragruk.
"You still have potential, and I am more suitable to teach you two than Yale. I will leave once you meet Yale, so it would be bad for you meeting him."
Although Aiwai could understand the first part, since Yale wouldn't be able to teach them so strictly, she couldn't understand the other.
"Why will you leave if we meet Yale again? I am sure that he will be glad to meet you to express his thanks for helping us."
The woman didn't truly want to reply to that question but seeing Aiwai's face, and that Wyba was distracted again hearing the conversation, she decided to speak.
"I am tired of men pursuing me like flies. He is your brother, but for me, he is just the son of my father friend. If he starts to pursue me for having saved you two and spoke with my father, there is a lot of possibilities that my father will end in his side."
Almost all men she had met tried something like that, but her father always sided with her. However, with Yale's identity, she didn't know what could happen and wanted to prevent any future problems.
"Don't worry. I don't plan to do anything like that."
