Lord Highlander

   Chapter 1229 1216. Entering the Mountain

  By the time Gulitham arrived at Celia Village according to the map, it was already the next morning.

The low-pitched thunder in the sky kept roaring, and the dark clouds covered the sun. Although the monsoon was not that cold this season, in the mountains of the Fei Mine Field, the wet and cold wind blowing on the face would make people feel sick. A sticky feeling.

It is estimated that the two-headed ogre brothers ran all the way to get here, but they seem to be in good spirits, especially just in time for breakfast, Suldak brought some canned luncheon meat and Almost half of the porridge cooked with military rations was filled into the belly of the two-headed ogre.

It was the first time that Hunter Krek ate this military ration like porridge. Because it was mixed with some lunch meat, he thought it tasted pretty good. He ate it with relish while holding a wooden bowl, probably because he was worried about his wife and eldest son. After breakfast, I started packing.

  Naomi didn't eat the breakfast prepared by Suldak at all. What she ate was something like dried moss, which was stuffed into her mouth in a hurry. Suldak didn't see what those things were.

   However, the injuries on her body healed quickly. Although the ribs and shoulders were still wrapped in bandages like shrouds, at least these injuries did not seem to affect her movements.

   When Naomi saw a two-headed ogre rushing over in the morning, her cold and dead eyes almost narrowed into a line.

Surdak was not in a hurry to enter the strange mountain, but waited in Sailia Village until noon that day, when Sia and Edgar the Bearded led a heavy armored infantry regiment of 1,500 men to catch up. When we arrived at the abandoned mining area, we began to plan how to enter the mountain.

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

Under Suldak's arrangement, Edgar the Beard left behind a scout team, which would send the old Avi and his wife to the nearest small town, and let the old couple go to meet Krek. The two daughters are temporarily staying in that hotel.

  After arranging everything, Suldak followed Naomi and Krek in the mountains at the end of the mining area, and rushed to the research institute built by the Black Magic Priory in the mountains.

  Krek was very familiar with this area. The heavy armored infantry soldiers walked along the mountain road, and they could always find a fairly easy road in the barren hills.

  Naomi summoned a zombie hyena, looking for the Black Magic Priory Research Institute with a certain smell...

  It was already afternoon when the team set off, and it went until dark. According to Crake, it was at least half a day away from the research institute of the Black Magic Priory.

The mountain road at night is difficult to walk. Suldak knew that the heavy armored infantry regiment came here overnight. These infantry soldiers basically didn't have much rest all day and night, so they searched for a suitable place to camp early. The infantry regiment was stationed here.

   But at night, Naomi became more energetic again.

  Aphrodite came out of Suldak's tent, glanced at Suldak first, and then greeted Gulitum and Siya casually.

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

  Although she is wearing a black magic robe and a mithril mask, which makes her feel mysterious and sexy, but now she seems to be a little less frivolous and exaggerated.

  Sia knew that the succubus who had stayed in her hometown for a long time had won the trust of Suldak. She rarely appeared in front of outsiders. This time Suldak didn't have any helpers around, so he called her 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 envious of Xi Ya...

  Bearded Edgar came over to report to Suldak on the situation of the Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment after assigning the night duty duties.

  Suldak gathered everyone around the bonfire, and Suldak asked Crake, "Krek, how far are we from the Institute of the Priory?"

  Hunter Krek pulled out a burnt stick from the fire, stepped on the open flame with his shoes, knocked off the coals, and drew a few strokes on the ground.

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

"If we say that our current location is here, then this is a mountain. We need to turn over here tomorrow morning to see the hiding place of the scholars of the monastery. It's half a day's journey, and the speed of these heavy armored infantry crossing the mountains is not too fast, it is estimated that they will arrive tomorrow night." Hunter Krek said.

  He seemed to have thought about this path countless times, and said it fluently without even thinking about it.

Suldak nodded, and then said to Gulitum: "You stay here in the camp tonight, and Sia is here to deal with emergencies. I plan to go to their hiding place with Aphrodite to find out the situation. .”

   "Understood, boss, you have to be careful!" The two-headed ogre reminded Suldak.

"Don't worry, with Aphrodite here, there won't be any problems." Suldak first said something to Gulitham, and then said to the hunter Creek: "Creke, this time you Act with us, if conditions permit, I will try to rescue your wife and son, but the prerequisite is that they are still alive now."

  Krek heard what Suldak said, and the hand holding the fire stick shook suddenly, and the fire stick fell to the ground, splashing some sparks for the completely extinguished stick.

  Suldak wanted to say something to comfort him, but it was a pity that he silently brewed it in his heart for a long time, and he didn't know what to say to him.

  Aphrodite glanced at Naomi calmly.

  Naomi in front of the bonfire seemed a little weak. At this time, she took the initiative to say to Suldak: "I will go with you too! I can keep up with you..."

  Suldak asked again: "Are you sure your injuries are all right?"

   "Well, don't worry! I won't hold on..."

  Naomi somehow felt a little warmth in her heart.

  This kind of concern, even the old Awei and his wife seldom say it to her.

  Most of the time, she is the one who faces the pain and loneliness alone, and is alone with skeleton zombies, and now she has become inhuman and ghost...

   However, she is a woman with a strong character, even so she did not want to die.

   "Okay, let's start now." Suldak decided immediately.
