Chapter 78: The Great Gathering of Mount Rogal (Part II)

In the western part of Mount Rogar, there is no one in a radius of more than ten kilometers, and there is no road even through. To get here, you can only approach the eastern area from the road, find some remote dirt roads, and make a little bit west. When Mount Rogal fully appeared in front of them, there were no dirt roads left.

At the foot of the mountain, the buggy is parked on the grass. Everyone got out of the car and looked up at the mountain in front of them. At 1,500 meters above sea level, the highest elevation of Mount Logar is not particularly high, but the mountain path is complicated by the earthquake. The south, in particular, is not only chaotic, but also rugged. If you are new to the city and are not familiar with the route, you will definitely turn inside.

However, these difficulties are not a problem in Andora's eyes. He has been to many places that are more difficult to conquer than Mount Rogar. Today he was wearing a full mountaineering suit and carrying a large hiking bag full of things, the bag with the slate in his hand. Akeya and Leo tried to take it for him, but he refused.

"I can take it myself, let's get going."

He loved the weather today, with clear skies and the occasional breeze that blew from the mountains, carrying the smell of earth and leaves, a feeling he hadn't felt in a long time. Andora observed the road ahead, the slope sandwiched between two cliffs. The entrance was basically like this, but Andora only looked at it for a moment and recognized that it was not the way they should go.

"You should go a little further west and go in from there. Let's go. ”

Ignoring everyone's answers, Andora had already taken a step. The weight of two bags on his body could not stop him from walking like a fly. Seeing that he was in a hurry, Luna and Akya hurriedly followed, and Leo was about to go over, but was stopped by Lynn.

"Don't worry, I'll give you this."

Leo takes over a walkie-talkie-like thing, but the walkie-talkie only has one button.

"What is this?"

"A transmitter for a distress signal. It's very strong, even if you're trapped in a cave, you can send it out. I have to go into the mountains from here, join up with my men, attack the black forces, and buy you time. When you complete your mission, or if you can't cope with the danger, use this to call for help. ”

"Got it."

*****

If you want to enter the mountain, there are many entrances, but if you want to get to somewhere in the mountain, it is not all roads leading to Rome, and it is important to choose the right entrance. Andora kept walking, and the entrance they had seen when they got out of the car was no longer visible, and he didn't stop.

"And, how far is it?"

Luna was out of breath, she had already given her suitcase to Leo, she didn't have any weight, and it was still difficult to keep up with Andora.

"It's here, it's there!"

Andora pointed ahead, and there was a flat, wide dirt road that stretched out from under a few pine trees, like a face with a tongue sticking out.

"From there, if you move fast, you can walk for another half an hour."

"Another half an hour?"

With these words, Luna's mustering energy was fully discharged, and she sat down on her stomach.

"Can you take a break?"

She looked at the three people in front of her, and both Andora and Akya looked at Leo. Leo wanted to make a quick decision, but since everyone was here, it was impossible to leave anyone behind.

"Then rest for a while, and then set off when it's almost over."

With that, Leo sat down next to Luna to rest. Andora unloaded the backpack and threw it on the ground, and he gently lowered the bag containing the slate, sat down next to it, and took out the slate again, carefully wiping the dust off it. Touch it left and right, and you can't put it down.

Akeya was about to sit down and rest, but his body suddenly straightened up again, and he turned his head sharply to look behind him.

"What's wrong, Akeya?" Leo asked, looking at the flat, empty grass behind Akeya.

"I don't know, Captain, I always feel like someone is around."

"What? Isn't that just the four of us? ”

"Yes, but I still feel ......"

"Hah, your feeling is very accurate."

The words came from the front of Akeya, and it was very close, almost close, but there was nothing but grass in front of Akeya's eyes. He quickly pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger without hesitation, the bullet smashing the weeds to pieces.

"Stop shooting."

After the voice sounded again, the crowd saw a scene they had never seen before. Under the sunlight, a part of the space seemed to be distorted, and a vague outline, a humanoid outline, appeared like condensation of water vapor. The "water vapor" gathers more and more, and the outline becomes clearer and clearer. When the man was fully formed, Akeya nervously held up the gun, Andora was dumbfounded, and Leo called out the man's name directly.

"Are you...... Dimitri? ”

Luna watched her companions' reactions in bewilderment, and then watched with interest the person who appeared out of thin air. Brown coat, pale yellow shirt, green messy hair, black blindfold on the right eye, and hands in his pocket. She didn't know who Dimmit was, she just thought that the appearance just now was gorgeous.

"It's amazing, it can appear out of thin air, is it magic?"

"What magic? He's a superman! And it's a cruel, cold-blooded and ruthless guy! Akya roared, his warning startling Luna.

Dimmit ignored Akeya's words and said to Luna with a smile, "It's not magic, it's a stealth-like effect that allows light to penetrate her whole body." If an object doesn't reflect, doesn't absorb light, you can't see it. ”

"So, how did you do that?" Luna asked again.

"This is a unique ability of our Harif people, but only a very few people can do it." Dimmit continued to patiently explain, "Let's not talk about that, I'm here to find you. ”

Leo couldn't sit still for a moment, and he tried to calm his impounding heart, pressed his hand on the ground, got up in a hurry, and walked over to Dimmit.

"What are you doing again? This time we don't have a core for you to take. ”

"Don't hold grudges so much, don't you have other good things?"

Dimmit said, glancing maliciously at what was in Andora's hand. Andora hurriedly put the slate back in his bag, and he saw Dimmit sneering at him.

"The slate is interesting, I guess you're here to hunt for treasure."

Andora didn't know what to say, but Akya stood in front of him and answered for him.

"It's none of your business."

"Where, where, related."

Dimmit's perfunctory questioning from Akeya swept his gaze, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional, and suddenly fell on Luna.

"I'm here to find a spirit detector, what about you?"

"Ah, just like us."

Dimit's watch, Luna subconsciously replied, she immediately reacted as if she had said the wrong thing, and Akeya's rebuke made her even more sure that it was too hasty.

"And so it was. In that case, how about we talk? ”

"As long as your purpose is a spirit finder, there's nothing to talk about!"

Akya vetoed Dimmit's proposal, but Leo waved his hand and told Akya not to talk nonsense. He met Dimmit's eyes, this was the second time the two had faced each other, the oppression from the last meeting was still in his heart, and Leo took a deep breath before speaking.

"What are your plans?"

"That's what it sounds like. Actually, I'm not used to walking around in the mountains, and even if I know that the spirit detector is in the mountains, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it for a few days. But you don't seem to be the same, after all, you still hold such strange stone slabs. ”

"We don't have a clue," Andora said quickly, "maybe it will be a long time." ”

Dimmit chuckled lightly: "I've been observing from a distance since you got out of the car. It seems that you are not the ones who are deliverers. The rescuer had been looking in the mountains for so many days, and suddenly invited a group of outsiders, and let them act alone, it must have been because these people were sure enough. ”

He confidently analyzed it, and then looked at Leo.

"I dare to assert that the Savior is fighting with the Black Army right now, in order to buy you time, right?"

That's right, Leo thought to himself, this guy didn't just have no strength. It seems that in front of him, it is better not to hide anything.

"That's the case, so what do you want?"

"Hire me to protect you to find the Finder. In return, I don't want money, just a soul finder. ”

Dimmit said very lightly, and Akeya was about to have another seizure, but was stopped by Leo and forced not to speak.

"We have no reason to hire you." Leo said.

"Yes," Dimmit said immediately, "the mountain is so big, no matter how much the rescuer sends people to strengthen the defense, it is impossible to cover everything." Maybe you think you're in the area controlled by the Savior, but you can actually encounter the Black Army when you enter the mountains. ”

"Even if we encounter it, we can solve it!" Akya finally couldn't hold back Dimmit's arrogance and retorted loudly.

"If you can really blow it, just rely on Langeta, you lose the core, I dare to say that you can't beat the black army."

"Nonsense! That time because you were ......"

"Right? It was then I who broke the deadlock. So, with me, I can deal with them. ”

Only then did Akya realize that he had been caught up in Dimmit's words, and he couldn't help but be annoyed. Dimmit ignored him and only looked at Leo.

"You seem to be the leader of this group, so how about making a wise decision just like last time?"

Suddenly, all eyes were on Leo, waiting for him to give a solemn answer to Dimmit's proposal. However, Leo didn't intend to waste brain cells, so he blurted out without much thought.

"Got it, I agree."

"Captain!"

"Akeya, you should have known that it was unlucky to be targeted by this guy. If you reject him, you can't guarantee that he will do anything. It's better to pull it over, everyone is safe. ”

Dimmit nodded with satisfaction: "It's very smart, so let's say it......"

"Don't worry, I have the conditions."

"Conditions?"

"After all, the savior sent us, so we must take the things, but you can use them first, and you must return them when you run out."

Dimmit's smile vanished, and Akeya and Andora were nervous, they thought Dimmit was going to get angry, but for a moment, the corners of his mouth turned up again.

"Yes, that's it. When I find the Finder, I'll use it and I'll give it back to you. I'll keep you all safe until I get my hands on the Finder, okay? ”

"No problem, then, is it something written?"

"I don't need to."

Dimett walked towards the entrance to the mountain pass on his own, calmly passing through the four, and quickly left them behind.

"I have never made a verbal contract, and in the name of Harauf, I will never break my word."

He stood still a little and turned back.

"Of course, I will not let go of those who dare to tear up the contract."

*****

The atmosphere of the group was very different from the beginning. Andora was still at the front, looking down at the map from time to time and looking up at the surroundings. Behind him was Dimit, who wore leather shoes and was uncomfortable walking on the mountain road, but he followed Andora closely, as if he was afraid that Andora would escape.

Behind them was Akeya, his gun clutched in his hand, not looking at the road, staring at Dimmit. Next to them were Leo and Luna, who had walked a few hundred meters and Luna felt her legs break and gasped for air.

"I, not anymore."

"We'll have to speed up," Leo said, "and it's almost ...... now."

Before he could finish speaking, gunshots echoed in the mountains. At first, there were a few sporadic clicks, and soon it became dense. Everyone couldn't help but stand for a moment.

“…… It's on. ”

Luna also wanted to hurry up, but her legs didn't obey her, and she swayed a little when she stood. Leo shook his head and walked over to Luna and crouched down.

"I'll carry you."

"But...... It's going to be tiring, right? ”

"I still have some stamina, and I feel like you're lighter than Andora's backpack."

"That, thank you."

Luna obediently leans onto Leo's back, and Leo stands up with a little force.

"Okay, no problem. Let's go Andora, what are you in a daze? ”

Andora is regretting it at this time, patronizing as a guide, and she actually missed out on such a close benefit. Dimmit urged him again, he sighed and continued to lead the way, and the group set off again after this little episode.

Luna blushes a little at first, and she has the impression that her father hasn't even carried her back, let alone other men. Soon, however, her attention was drawn to the strange scenery of the mountains.

Most of the mountains are cracked, and gravel of various sizes can be seen on the ground, as if to warn people not to pass here. The southern mountains are more inhospitable, with occasional patches of pine trees. Thin pine needles and angular rocks make for a picture full of wild beauty.

"It's so big, and it's full of forks in the road." Luna sighed as she watched the view, "Don't say Mr. Dimmit, anyone who gets here will get lost." ”

"Maybe," replied Dimmit, who was walking in front, casually, "but I really don't like mountains, woods, and dark places. ”

"Speaking of which, Harif is a people who have something to do with the sun."

"Oh? Do you know this? ”

"When I was in the hospital, I treated a lot of superpowers. By the way, what is the eye disease of Mr. Dimmit? Maybe I have a way. ”

Dimmit smiled, touched the blindfold and said, "You have nothing to do with this." ”

"Is it that bad?"

"It's worse than illness, it's a curse."

"Cursed?"

Perhaps it was Luna's curiosity that opened up the conversation. He was suddenly interested, and began to speak of the source of the curse. From Quedren and Marton, to Astarott, to the Curse, a simple and clear lesson was taught to everyone.

Luna and Leo below her looked surprised as if they were listening to the story. Andora and Akya were calm, especially Akeya. Dimmit's ability, when he was "nameless", he heard Karp say it more than once.

"We're here!"

Andora, who was leading the way, suddenly shouted excitedly, and the people behind him sped up a few steps to stand next to him. In front of him is a cliff, and a two-meter-high stone gate can be seen underneath, and the door is surrounded by rubble.

"That's it, the remnants of the Sixth Reich!"
