60. Knight of the Lonely Mountain

Unlike the city guards, who always relied on logistical supplies. The squad of the Warrior Guild www.biquge.info relied heavily on the supplies they carried in every operation. Nowhere is this more evident than in some elite squads. Gronny's squad is an elite squad. At a time when the City Guards had to use visible sources for lighting due to the expiration of their blessed night vision spells, Gronny and his brothers had six Night Vision Potions left unused.

Good steel should be used on the cutting edge. Gronny is definitely not a stingy person, but when the City Guards are all exposed to visible light sources, the maverick use of night vision potions by a few members of the Warrior Guild will not bring much safety to the team, but will cause a difference between them and the City Guards. In this strange and dangerous region, solidarity is the right way to do things.

So Gronny and his brothers, like ordinary city guards, relied on the light of their headlamps all the way until a bright light appeared just in the distance.

The other side is also using visible lighting. This shows that either the other party does not have night vision, or the other party has a large number and cannot popularize night vision. In any case, when dealing with an enemy with many people who cannot have night vision, it is undoubtedly more advantageous to have night vision.

Gronny immediately asked the team's best stealthy scout to drink a night vision potion, and then quietly burrowed into the towering stalagmite forest on the side of the road, acting as the vanguard of the whole team, to scout for enemy ambushes in the dark.

Because the small scouts can't pass through the flat road, they can only go around the stalagmite forest on the side of the road. This made the small scout, marching alone, no faster than the slow marching group, until the whole team, under the command of Brask, stopped advancing and rested in place, and he had a chance to overtake the whole group and fulfill the scout's duty.

Just as he was stealthy and sneaking forward, Sonya, who was stunned by the singing of the city guards, failed to pay attention to concealing her presence, and was discovered by a small scout who quietly touched her.

In order not to increase the chance of exposure with her dazzling blonde hair, Sonia wore a black hooded cloak and wrapped her whole body inside. Clothing of this color can certainly reduce the chance of a person being spotted in the dark, but once spotted, a person in black will always come across as suspicious.

What's more, in the eyes of the little scout, Sonia is not just suspicious, but an enemy at all. The black hooded cloak she wears is a favorite attire of many outlaws who roam at night, and the cultists of the Green Cross cult also wear this dress when they are on the ground.

Dressed like this in the core area of this Green Cross cult, who else could it be if it wasn't a cultist?

The little scout looked at the short bow that Sonia was carrying in her hand and the four feathered arrows she was holding in her hand, and immediately thought that this was a very dangerous enemy. Because of this posture of holding a bow and holding arrows, he has only seen it on a few bow and arrow masters. Such a master of archery, as long as you are within his range, will be hit with ferocity and swiftness. The small scout believed that as the brigade passed by, the opponent would fire arrows into the crowd, killing and injuring people and disrupting the soldiers' formation.

In order to prevent the enemy in the shadows from inflicting casualties on his companions, the little scout decided to reach for the archer. As far as he knew, the vast majority of logarithmic archers could not defeat a dog in hand-to-hand combat.

The other party was in an unguarded state for some reason, and seemed to be a little distracted. This makes it relatively easy for the little scouts to get lurky approach. But as long as they fail to cut the opponent's neck with a dagger, the little scout will not let his guard down.

Closer, closer. The little scout curled up in a tiny ball, approaching Sonia little by little from behind. He approached without making a sound. This can already be regarded as his super level performance. He had a hunch that he would soon enter a new realm in stealth.

Five, four, three, little scout slowly straightened up. He found that the other person's height was so suitable for him that he could cut the other person's throat without having to break the effort.

Sonia was a little confused by the person opposite. In order to better understand the identity of the other party, she plans to intercept the other party from the front.

After those men advanced closer distance, Sonia could already be sure that it was definitely not the Green Cross cult's ranks. Because the city guards have changed a song - they sang the popular "Song of the Knights of the Lonely Mountain".

"The bold knight adventurer is anxious and rotten. ”

"The majesty is bumping everywhere, and the armor is still not flinching. ”

"Oh, why is the Knight of the Lonely Mountain so brave and cute?"

Songs full of intense passion resounded in the empty cavern. The singer is full of enthusiasm, as if he is going to become a knight of the lonely mountain in the next moment, and devote himself to a great adventure for love.

Sonya's face was full of disbelief, but her body wanted to dance to the song.

This song is her favorite!

It tells the story of the famous Knight of the Lonely Mountain in history.

The Knight of the Lonely Mountain is the Coronian honorific title for the first knight to come to the foot of the Lonely Mountain. The knight came from a declining aristocratic family in Colombo, and was known for his funny wits as a young man. When he was eighteen years old, by chance, he met Victoria Cologne, the youngest daughter of the then King of Coronia, the famous Pearl of Coronia, who was only fifteen years old. The Knight of the Lonely Mountain instantly felt how gloomy and boring his previous life was. He found himself in love with Victoria Collen and vowed to marry her.

But the huge disparity in social status makes it impossible for the two to be together. Even Princess Victoria fell in love with this witty, intelligent and good-looking young man.

In order to break up this pair of lovers, and at the same time sober up the bastard boy who doesn't know the height of the sky. The king of Coronia at the time, the father of Princess Victoria, made a condition to the knight. That is, if you want to marry his daughter, you must make great contributions to the kingdom. And this great work is to find a safe passage to the lonely mountain.

In the king's opinion, this bastard boy with a dead face and a toad who wants to eat swan meat, faced with the thousand-year-old problem of finding a lonely mountain passage, will definitely retreat from the difficulties, stop being delusional, and climb to his precious daughter.

But who knew that the Knight of the Lonely Mountain accepted His Majesty's request seriously. Just attached a request that Princess Victoria could give him some time.

It just so happened that Princess Victoria was the most promising among the younger generation of the royal family at that time to become a legendary powerhouse. In such a case, she herself would not have been married very early.

In order to show his own open-mindedness, and at the same time to think that the Lonely Mountain Knight is just talking big for the sake of face, His Majesty the King generously promised to let Princess Victoria and other Lonely Mountain Knight for ten years. Within this decade, if the Knight of the Lonely Mountain can find a successful passage to the Lonely Mountain, then he can marry Princess Victoria. Otherwise, it is necessary to go wherever and not to be upset by the sight of our great majesty.

The Knight of the Lonely Mountain is a native of Colombo. He has long been accustomed to well-developed public transportation, convenient living facilities, and has never had any adventures. Let such a person go to find Gushantong, everyone thinks it is a joke. In Colombo, there are even people who set up a gamble on this matter, betting on whether the Lonely Mountain Knight will die on the way to find the passage to the Lonely Mountain, or when he will give up halfway and give up his unrealistic delusion of wanting to pick the pearl of Coronia.

At the time, no one thought he would be able to accomplish a task that had not been done for thousands of years.

The Knight of the Lonely Mountain disappeared from sight in the time that followed.

Some people think he died, others think he changed his name and absconded. Only Princess Victoria receives a letter from the Knight of the Lonely Mountain before the annual Harvest Festival. In these letters, the Knight of the Lonely Mountain tells about his unchanging love for the princess, as well as his recent situation. Every year, the Lonely Mountain Knight declares that he is one step closer to the Lonely Mountain.

The letters were never seen by anyone other than Princess Victoria. The princess did not mention the Knight of the Lonely Mountain to anyone. Just when everyone thought that this pair of lovers was over, and the Lonely Mountain Knight couldn't come back. In the eighth year, the Knights of the Lonely Mountain reappeared in Colombo.

Compared to the last time he appeared in Colombo, he was thinner, darker, and even the sideburns of his hair were a little gray. Compared to Princess Victoria, who has grown into a legendary powerhouse, he seems to be a forty-year-old person.

When everyone thought he had given up and returned to Colombo, he announced that he had found his way to the Lonely Mountain. Now a witness was needed to go with him to prove that he had fulfilled his promise to the king.

Colombo is boiling. People of good deeds have come one after another, wanting to take their place in his ranks. The steady people think that he is blowing nonsense, and they have many doubts about him.

In the face of these doubts, the Knight of the Lonely Mountain did not have any rebuttal. He just set out again with people who were willing to believe in him.

A year later, the whole team was back in Colombo. They were already the second team to have ever reached the Lonely Mountain. The first is the nameless adventuring team led by the Lonely Mountain Knight.

Everyone who came back from the Lonely Mountain excitedly described what they had seen and heard. The abundance of natural resources in the Lonely Mountains is beyond the imagination of those who grew up in the most prosperous part of Coronia. Even more powerful than their language is a large number of specialties of the Gushan region. Only a handful of these specialties made it to the market, and the vast majority were bought by the surprised Alchemists' Guild.

All had to believe it. That inconspicuous boy in Colombo really found his way to the lonely mountain.

In the spring of the following year, the Kingdom of Coronia had an additional duke, the Duke of Gushan, and the King of Coronia had an additional son-in-law, Girende Noan Donquixote.

But the people of Colombo, especially those who had been to the Lonely Mountain with Gillant Jean Noan Don Quixote, did not call him the Duke of the Lonely Mountain. That would be his family's family name. He and Princess Victoria's descendants will always inherit the title of Duke of Lonely Mountain. But Girgente Noan Don Quixote is different. They call him the Knight of the Mountain, and they are sure that he will always be the only Knight of the Mountain.
