Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Temporary CampAfter a day of sailing, on the morning of the second day, the White Gem arrived at the end of the fjord.
Although it was only a few dozen kilometers long, the winding terrain of the fjord severely limited the speed of the White Gem, making this dozens of kilometers journey take almost a day and a night.
However, the scenery along the fjord was quite pleasant, so taking it as an opportunity to enjoy the view wasn’t too much of a problem.
It was after reaching the fjord that Perfikot’s real work on this journey truly began.
"Madam Baroness, are we to build an advance base here in the fjord?" The members of the exploratory team were still unaware of their true mission, believing Perfikot’s lie that they were constructing an advance base for Arctic exploration.
Perfikot didn’t break this illusion, as she still needed this lie to maintain the facade of the current situation.
So she merely replied to the questioning exploration team member, "We’ll first set up a temporary dock and camp here, then begin exploring the surroundings to find a more suitable location.
Though the conditions in this fjord are fair, neither its proximity to surrounding mineral resources nor its terrain and topography are suitable for constructing an advance base."
The fjord terrain was formed by glacial erosion, inherently narrow and long, hence it was named a fjord.

Therefore, Perfikot had to
