A valley emitting flammable toxic gas? This immediately piqued Perfikot's interest.
After detailed inquiries, Perfikot roughly understood the situation in that valley.
According to Perfikot's judgment, that valley was likely a naturally formed gas leak point, possibly associated with an oil field.
In other words, beneath the so-called Valley of Death that Lili mentioned, there might be an oil field.
However, a definitive conclusion requires an on-site geologic survey, making it very necessary and logical to organize one.
For the Northern Territory now, assembling a surveying team is quite simple.
The surveying team that came with Perfikot to the Northern Territory didn't return to the Empire's homeland; although they hadn't worked through winter, they resumed their fieldwork as the spring thawed.
Now that Perfikot needed them again, gathering them was just a command from the Lord of the North.
