The entrance to Limestone Peak was just as Urs remembered being to the north of Misty Isles, where the Thorn Squad had arrived at this moment. Through the hazy mist, the eyes of the group could faintly see that in front of them stood two stone pillars with flames burning at the tops, like two eye-catching torches in the thick fog, and between the two "torches" was a staircase leading to the high point of the rocky mountain, the width of which was about enough for four to five normal humans to pass side by side.

The stairs and stone pillars are traces of man-made construction, and they are also evidence of the activities of intelligent beings in this area.

Urs observed the scene as a "door", made sure that he was not taking the wrong path, and motioned for the group to continue along the stairs up the mountain.

Beyond the entrance to the trail, the limestone peaks quickly make it clear why the island's mountains are called this – not only because the rocks are already grey, but also because of the severe lack of vegetation and soil cover.

The team was now approaching the location of the mountain as if they were walking on a spiraling staircase.

The road is not steep, and the width is not narrow. The dwarf girl Bellingis and the dwarven warrior Koto still walked in front of the line, Urs, Thea, and Dorothy walked in the middle, followed by the black-robed Miss Drow Poet and the orc monk Stone Fist, and the formation of the group was roughly divided into three small sections.

Time passed step by step with everyone's footsteps......

The fog showed signs of dissipating slightly as the altitude increased, but it still severely obstructed everyone's view, which kept Belelis, the team's scout, from walking too fast, to avoid unseen danger from finding her from beneath her feet, whether it was a potential attack by monsters or a cliff at the edge of the trail.

In short, she has always been reckless, and she has also focused her energy during this time...... After that, I don't know how long it was, maybe ten minutes? Fifteen minutes? Or twenty minutes?

The little dwarf girl lacks practical experience in adventuring, and does not have a good habit of subconsciously calculating the time of her journey like Gloriden, and then suddenly realizes that there is something in front of the trail that is blocking everyone's way.

"Wait a minute." She then stood with the Wizard in her arms, her light brown eyes staring warily ahead—and as soon as she finished speaking, the fortress shield on the dwarf's left arm followed closely and covered her side, proving that Kotol took his duties as a scout guard very seriously.

Urs, Thea, and Dorothy get a message from the front row of the line, in which the red-haired Miss Warlock looks up in a daze, and the young man and the wolf-eared girl look at each other, and the former asks, "What happened?" ”

At the same time, he raised his hand and reflexively moved his palm to the hilt of the sword next to his right shoulder, although he remembered in his heart that there should be no monsters on the mountain path of Limestone Peak.

But there are always exceptions, don't they?

Jay Sparrow and Stonefist then followed the tail of the small team. Miss Drow Poet has good eyesight, her gaze looks forward from under the brim of her hood, and the curvature of her mouth is cold: "Oh, the golem has met its kind, a moment worth celebrating." ”

The half-orc warrior monk could understand the meaning of her words, and said in her heart that she still called me a golem, and the previous "warrior monk" seemed to be just casually mentioned?

And the golem met the same kind?

He thought, and he and the others took one more step forward. This step made the vision ahead much clearer, as if the fog on the mountain road automatically dispersed a little because of the closer distance, revealing the figure of a steel golem in front of everyone's sight-

The figure resembled a shiny piece of armor, about seven feet tall and about two hundred and thirteen centimeters, which looked a little bigger than Urs and Stonefist, but much smaller than the regular-sized Steel Golem, and was actually more like a taller human in general.

It stood there silently, not saying a word, and the knight's helmet-like head lit up with two red dots of light between its eyes, which seemed to be observing the team that had intruded into its alert range.

"Urs, the Golem...... It may be the guard here? Xia looked at the other party and quietly communicated her guess to the young man.

Urs listened to the wolf-eared girl's words, thought about the memories of his previous life, and replied, "Xia, negotiate with it and show friendship to it on our behalf." ”

"Well, I'll try."

The silver-haired wolf-eared girl nodded, then stepped forward, borrowing Koto and Bellinglith's side.

"Hello, Golem."

Following Urs's instructions, she smiled and tried to wave at the other man.

The Iron Golem was unmoved, but a mass of black matter lying on its shoulder suddenly lifted the head of a creature with golden and green eyes open, and its sharp eyes cast a straight gaze on Thea's face and hair for a second, and the voice followed from her mouth: "Look, Abel, she also has two ears on her head. ”

It was a pitch-black cat.

According to the timbre, it should be a male cat.

Belllith suddenly discovered its existence, and couldn't help but blurt out, "Wow, that black cat can talk!" ”

The little girl may not be reserved enough, but the rest of the team was immediately as surprised as her reaction, after all, the black cat that could only talk was curled up on the shoulders of the steel golem like a ball of yarn before, and its small size was really difficult to find through the dense fog on the mountain road if you didn't pay close attention to it.

Although the expression on Urs's face was a little stunned, the young man had memories of his previous life, and he suddenly guessed the identity of the other party based on the combination of the black cat and the golem.

The pitch-black tom was no ordinary creature.

As for the Iron Golem, it wasn't a simple Golem either......

"Hello Mr. Black Cat, we are an adventurous party that has come to find the Sage of the Grey Court." Thea quickly regained her composure and turned her gaze to the cat on the golem's shoulder, "If you don't mind, can you let us know each other?" I'm Thea, a member of this team, a priest who serves the God of Justice. ”

"Soros. Remember my name, not every black cat should be called Guan Haifa. The black tom glanced at Thea and replied with his majesty, "Not every mage's pet should be a raven. Ravens speak the lingua franca, and so do I. ”

"What is this golem, may I ask what ...... it is?"

"Abel, this is my name." The motionless Steel Golem also suddenly spoke, and from under the knight's helmet-shaped head, an urn-like voice came out, "But strictly speaking, I'm not a Golem...... It's a mechanical mage from the mechanical realm. ”
