1216. Into the Mountains

By the time Gulit followed the map's instructions to the village of Selia, it was already the next morning.

The low thunder in the sky kept roaring, the dark clouds obscured the sun, although the wind was not so cold this season, but in the mountains of this Fei Mine Field, the wet and cold wind blowing on the face would make people feel like a sticky lake.

It is estimated that the two-headed ogre brothers are running all the way to take one. They arrived at night in good spirits, but they seemed to be in good spirits, especially just in time for breakfast, when Surdak put some canned luncheon meat and military rations together to cook a pot of porridge, almost half of which was put into the stomach of the two-headed ogre.

Hunter Craik ate this kind of cereal-like military ration for the first time, because it was mixed with some luncheon meat, he thought it tasted quite good, and he ate it with relish in his wooden bowl, probably worried about his wife and eldest son, and began to pack up after breakfast.

Naomi didn't eat Surdak's breakfast at all, she ate something like dried moss, and she just hurriedly stuffed it into her mouth, and Surdak didn't see what it was.

Instead, her injuries healed quickly, and although her ribs and shoulders were still wrapped in shroud-like bandages, at least they didn't seem to interfere with her movements.

By the time Naomi saw a two-headed ogre rush over in the morning, her cold, dead eyes had almost narrowed into a line.

Instead of rushing into the unfamiliar mountain, Surdak waited in the village of Selia until noon that day, when Thea and the bearded Edgar arrived at the abandoned mine with a regiment of 1,500 heavy infantry men, and began to plan how to enter the mountain.

Looking at the mighty heavy infantry soldiers, even Krek was too frightened to move casually.

Under Surdak's arrangement, the bearded Edgar left behind a scout team, which would send the old couple to the nearest town, and let the old couple stay in the hotel with Krek's two daughters.

Once everything had been arranged, Surdak followed Naomi and the Craik mines to the institute that the Dark Arts Hermitage had built in the mountains.

Clake was familiar with the area, and the hoplite warriors walked along the mountain paths, always finding a decent way through the barren mountains.

Naomi summons a zombie hyena and seeks out the Dark Arts Hermitage Institute with a certain taste......

It was already afternoon when the team set off, and it was dark until dark, and according to Kreck, it was at least half a day's way from the research institute of the Dark Arts Retreat.

The mountain road was difficult to walk at night, and Surdak knew that the heavy infantry regiment had arrived overnight last night, and these infantry soldiers were one day a day. There was little rest at night, so I looked for a suitable place to camp early, and all the infantry regiments were stationed here.

But in the night, Naomi became much more energetic again.

Aphrodite walked out of Surdak's tent, glanced at Surdak first, and then greeted Gulitum and Thea very casually.

When Thea saw Aphrodite, although she didn't notice any change in her, the feeling that Aphrodite gave her was indeed a little different.

Although he wears a black magic robe and a Mithril mask, it feels a little mysterious and sexual. feeling, but now she seems to be a little less frivolous and pompous.

Thea knew that this succubus who had been staying in her hometown for a long time had won the trust of Surdak, and she rarely appeared in front of outsiders, and this time Surdak had no helpers around her, so she would be called over.

She knew that after the two signed the magic contract, they were able to cross the void with each other, which was the most envy of Thea......

The bearded Edgar, after being assigned a night duty, came over to Surdak to report on the situation of the hoplite regiment.

Surdak gathered everyone around the campfire, and Surdak asked Krek, "Krek, how far are we from the monastic institute?" ”

Hunter Craike took out a stick from the fire, stepped on the open flame with his shoe, knocked out the coals, and made a few strokes on the ground.

His face was completely obscured by worry, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked a little tired and anxious.

"If our current location is here, then this is a mountain range, we will need to climb over here tomorrow morning to see the hiding place of the hermit scholars, if we talk about the distance, we will have to walk at least half a day, and the speed of these heavy infantry over the mountain is not very fast, it is estimated that it will not be able to reach it tomorrow night." Hunter Craik said.

He seems to have thought about this path many times, and he said it fluently without thinking about it.

Surdak nodded, and then said to Gulitham, "You stay here tonight, and you and Thea are here to deal with emergencies, and I plan to go to their hiding place with Aphrodite to find out the situation." ”

"Got it, boss, you need to be careful!" The two-headed ogre reminded Surdak.

"Don't worry, with Aphrodite here, there won't be any problems." Surdak first said to Gulitham, and then to Hunter Krek, "Krek, this time you are acting with us, and if possible, I will try to save your wife and son, but only if they are still alive." ”

Hearing Surdak say this, Krek shook his hand with the flint, and the flint fell to the ground, sending some sparks flying for the completely extinguished stick.

Surdak wanted to say something to comfort him, but unfortunately he had been silently brewing in his heart for a while, and he didn't know what to say to him.

Aphrodi glanced at Naomi with a calm expression.

Naomi looked a little weak in front of the campfire, and then she took the initiative to say to Surdak, "I'll go with you too!" I can keep up with you......"

Surdak asked again, "Are you sure the injuries on your body are okay?" ”

"Well, don't worry! I'm not going to hold on......"

Naomi felt a slight warmth in her heart for some reason.

This kind of caring, even if the old Avi couple rarely says to her.

Many times, she is alone in the face of pain and loneliness, alone with skeletons and zombies, and now she has become a ghost and a ghost......

However, she was a woman with a strong character, and even then she did not think about death.

"Alright, let's go now." Surdak immediately decided.
