Ryan decided to see the obstacle for himself before answering. He walked to the edge of his castle's mountain and looked in the direction Elric was pointing a few seconds ago.
There certainly was a mountain planted right in front of them. It stood not very far from the town, about 500 meters away, and measured approximately 3,500 meters above sea level.
Seeing the size of that mass of rock and snow, it was easy to understand why they considered it such an obstacle to the megacity's development. Behind him, Elric spoke again to clarify how long it would take them to clear the area.
"Although... using all of our elven skills, it will take us at least a month to eliminate it completely," Elric added prudently.
Ryan kept his eyes on the snowy summit while calculating the time the crews would waste working on that rock for four straight weeks.
