Mount Jerlak towered into the sky, and although there were many gentle alpine snowfields on it, it still made it difficult for the gentle caravan to move an inch, and some terrible accidents occurred on the way, and the ox cart and two men at the back of the group stumbled and fell into the deep stream in the process of climbing, so that Wilhelm's brow was furrowed, and the employer's request could not be met perfectly, which was likely to affect the completion of their mission.

After pulling the mercenary in charge of the rear team over and asking about it, and personally checking why the sturdy cable had broken for no apparent reason, the dark clouds on Wilhelm's face became even heavier.

"What's wrong?" Taking advantage of the efforts to walk beside her brother, Lily asked in a low voice, "Is there anything wrong with the disappearance of that ox cart?" ”

"Question...... It's huge. Wilhelm shook his head slowly and said in a low voice, "That thing is the authentic Liangliang family that we bought at a great price, so according to common sense, it is absolutely impossible to have a problem when you can afford an ox cart, and I have personally checked the fracture of that mountaineering cable, and it is impossible to break it naturally." ”

"That'...... What does this mean? Lily had understood what Wilhelm was trying to say, but was still a little unsure, "Was it our men who cut the cable rope, or ...... Those three people? ”

"Don't be suspicious of others." Wilhelm looked at his sister seriously and said in a low voice, "And just now, the three of them, plus the woman from Snowtop Village, have always been in Yuna's sight, not only did they not have the opportunity to do it, but they also had no reason to do it...... Hey, but then again, Boken is actually not fundamentally different from the three of them, to put it bluntly, they all have ghosts in their hearts, what happened this time, how could they meet such two tricky guys. ”

"yes...... None of the people who can be taken care of by Momers are simple. Lily said helplessly, "An ordinary foot merchant is followed by a strong man of the Demon Haze family? Who will believe it? ”

"It's useless to talk about this now, our people can't cut the climbing cable of the ox cart, and neither will the three people on the side of the gentle boss, so there will only be two left in the truth of the matter." Wilhelm paused for a moment and said slowly, "Or...... The cable was cut by the two men who disappeared from Boken themselves, or the cable was cut by someone sent by Boken. ”

"Brother, I always feel that your two speculations are particularly unreliable." Lily hugged her arm and said slowly, "In essence, there is no big difference at all, can't it be that some messy ice monster appeared and then cut off their climbing cables......

"Although I would like to think over there too, it's not the first time you've been to Jerrak Mountain, what kind of ice and snow monsters can sneak up on our team of so many people and not be discovered?" Wilhelm squinted his eyes, "I said you, your mind is a little more mature." ”

"Forget it, it's up to you to decide these things anyway, I'm only in charge of fighting, and I hate using my brain the most." Lily waved her hand and turned towards the front of the group.

Looking at the back of his sister's departure, Wilhelm didn't say much.

Although Mt. Jerrak is high, it can be roughly summarized into four areas, the first of which is the largest and most gentle area from the base to the bottom of the mountain, and the chance of encountering ice monsters and other unexpected dangers is relatively small.

The second area starts from the halfway up the mountain, until the upper quarter, the terrain of this area is steeper than the first, and the area is also the second largest of the four areas divided into the Jerrak Mountain, strictly speaking, this area has exceeded the scope that ordinary humans can bear, most of the ice and snow monsters inhabit this dark area, because of the high altitude, all the ice under their feet is comparable to rocks, plus the clouds and mist, the climate is precipitous...... This second area has always been the most terrifying memory of all the mercenary groups who have climbed Mount Jerrak.

The third area is from the rest of the area to the top of the mountain, this area is basically a forbidden area for life, even if it is an ice and snow monster, there are few who can survive here, except for the white ice that does not melt for several years, there is no ecology in this third area at all.

Wilhelm's explanation to him was that in the accidental eruption of Mount Jerlak that year, all the ice that had existed for thousands of years had melted away, and if it hadn't covered the entire mountain, it would have been an unimaginable unknown whether the country of Jerrak below would have survived that terrible natural disaster.

As for the fourth area......

It was divided by these mercenary groups themselves, and the name was very simple, just "Forbidden Land".

Mount Jerrak is an unstable volcano, after the last experience, no one knows when its next eruption will be, and although it has been 20 years since the eruption, no one has ever visited the location of the crater at the top of the mountain, and over time, countless legends have been derived there, although 80% of the things passed on by word of mouth are false, but the danger of that "forbidden land" is absolutely not exaggerated.

No one knew what danger there was, no one knew what kind of monsters were there, and of course, no one wanted to know.

The process of climbing Mount Jerlak was unexpectedly smooth, except for the first ox cart and the unfortunate two guys, the Falling Moon Wolf Mercenary Group escorted them all the way, and they didn't even see an ice and snow monster, Wilhelm couldn't help but secretly rejoice, after all, no matter what kind of monster or disaster it was, it would bring them great trouble.

Originally, he always thought that the task could be basically completed at this point.

"Boss Boken, what did you say?!" Wilhelm's roar echoed far and wide through the icy air, "Forgive me for being rude to refuse your request, even if you are the boss, this request to modify the plan in the middle of the mission is too much, and it crosses the forbidden land?" I hope you're awake now, you don't care about the lives and deaths of your men, but I do, I won't risk the lives of my brothers! ”
