When he reached the foot of the mountain, Cheng Mo could clearly see how steep and steep the cliff was. At the end of the Thousand-Year Forest, which was almost a flat river, it stood like a thick stalagmite under the gloomy sky. The winding stream flowed from

The stream flows at the foot of the mountain, wonderfully drawing a line between the Thousand-Year Forest, with vast coniferous forests on one side and barren plains on the other.

After walking out of the Millennium Forest, the wind suddenly picked up. A bridge made of wooden planks and iron railings was not far away. A stream mixed with ice cubes flowed under the bridge. The stream was extremely clear and you could see clearly.

The cobblestones sunk at the bottom and the wooden bridge connect the gravel road up the mountain. The narrow mountain road spirals up, like a giant python wrapped around the mountain.

Cheng Mo followed the cavalry team composed of NPCs across the bridge and arrived at the starting point of the mountain road. He raised his head and visually inspected it. The black mountain was at least five or six hundred meters high. There was not a single tree on the entire mountain, and there was very little vegetation.

, are all steep basalt walls, which look very similar to the "Tower of Babel". The huge mountain is the natural cone base, and Guisfield Abbey is the sharp spire.

After passing the trestle, the team stopped. The sound of horse hooves on the gravel was heard. Aachen, riding a brown Gascon war horse, ran up to Cheng Mo, turned over and dismounted, and asked in a respectful tone: "

Lord Angel, shall we go up now?”

Cheng Mo thought for a moment. Although there was a papal letter from Leohard in Aachen, Cheng Mo always pursued absolute certainty, so he planned to go up first to see what the situation was like in Gisfield Abbey, so Cheng Mo pondered.

He said at once: "No, it seems suspicious to arrive at the monastery at this time. You guys wait at the bottom of the mountain. I'll go up and take a look first."

"Yes, sir!" Aachen remounted his horse and returned to the front of the team, letting a group of knight NPCs camp by the stream.

Cheng Mo said in Japanese to the man wearing Tai Chi Dragon uniform next to him: "Mr. Aso, I'll go up first to check the situation and I'll be back soon."

The man whom Narumi calls Mr. Aso has an average appearance. To be precise, he should be his carrier. He is neither handsome nor ugly. He is so mediocre that he has no memory. The appearance of the carrier is not static. He will change with the change of his body.

There is a slight change, but the magnitude of the change is very small. You can even spend contribution points to correct it, but most people will not waste precious contribution points on boring appearance.

Judging from the appearance of the other carrier, Mr. Aso is not too young. Judging from the slightly frivolous expression, he is somewhat unabashedly truthful, unlike ordinary Japanese people who are either true or false hypocrisy.

Smiling, he was looking up at the top of the mountain at this moment. When he heard Cheng Mo's voice, he glanced at Cheng Mo with his hands behind his back and said noncommittally: "Mr. Lin, go ahead, I'm here."

Aso's tone was a little old-fashioned, but Cheng Mo knew that Aso Daikichi was self-righteous, because Aso Daikichi was not too old, only 26 years old, and was currently level thirty-two. Although he was not comparable to Cheng Mo, he was still in the ordinary role.

Among the fighters, he can level up relatively quickly. The reason why he looks a bit old-fashioned is because of his arrogant personality.

Aso Daiyoshi's attitude did not make Cheng Mo angry. Saionji Benimaru had told Cheng Mo beforehand that Aso Daiyoshi was the eldest son of the famous Aso family head in Japan. Just talking about Aso Daiyoshi's father, Aso Ichiro, made him angry.

He was a great figure in Japanese politics, and Aso Daiyoshi's mother, Chikako Suzuki, was the third daughter of former Prime Minister Suzuki Koichi. His aunt was married to Prince Mikasa Kōhito, the cousin of Emperor Nina.

Therefore, Aso Daikichi is an authentic royal relative.

This is not all. In addition, the Aso family is also related by marriage to the famous political families in Japan, the Hatoyama family and the Ikeda family, through marriage to the wealthy Ishibashi family.

In general, the relationship between the Japanese nobles was very complicated and intricate, occupying the entire ruling class of Japan.

As for Aso Daikichi, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Not only was he pampered, but he also studied in the Aso private school within the family. It was not until college that he entered the cradle of the chosen ones, Gakushuin University, and thus developed a self-willed, arrogant and undisciplined character.

character.

Logically speaking, these characteristics should have been shortcomings. However, in this case, only Aso Daikichi dared to lead a team to participate in the plan to raid the Star Gate without notifying the top management of Kamikaze.

Aso Daiyoshi and Saionji Benimaru have a good relationship because they were both selected for the Nippon Skeet Shooting Team. Originally, Saionji Benimaru had high hopes of winning the gold medal, but he was imprisoned in Malaysia by Cheng Mo.

He was admitted to a mental hospital and missed the Summer Olympics held in Tokyo. Aso Daikichi finished fourth at the Olympics, just shy of winning a medal.

Of course, this is not the reason why Aso Daiyoshi obeys Saionji Benimaru's words. The most critical reason is that Aso Daiyoshi is the fanatical pursuer of Saionji Benimaru's sister, Saionji Aoi.

Cheng Mo didn't know why Saionji Benimaru introduced Aso Daikichi in such detail, but it wouldn't hurt to know more about the partners. Cheng Mo nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Aso." Then Cheng Mo also said.

Without using teleportation, let

The opponent knew that he was not a gladiator but a chosen one, so he jumped up high into the sky and circled up the gravel road. Amid the looks and screams of the NPCs, he flew into the air like a big bird and jumped more than ten meters.

High, climbed the winding gravel road on the fourth floor.

The air in the mountains is humid and cold. In the silence, Cheng Mo looks like a martial arts master who knows Qinggong. He climbs up quickly on the gravel road. The straight line distance of 500 meters is not really high, and Cheng Mo takes less than ten minutes.

Just halfway up the mountain.

The cold wind blew across the cliff, making a sharp whistle. Cheng Mo stopped and looked down. The world in his eyes was divided into two halves by the winding stream. The huge coniferous forest undulated in the field of vision, like the sea.

The stream turned into a long coastline, and the snow-covered wasteland turned into a beach.

Cheng Mo concentrated and could see the faint light of fire far away in the Thousand-Year Forest. It was obviously where the team escorting the witches camped. Cheng Mo made a rough estimate. It would probably take more time to reach Gisfield Abbey at the opponent's speed.

It will take more than ten hours, that is, after Christmas Eve today, the team escorting the witches will arrive at Guisfield Abbey.

Cheng Mo went through the online time of all the members of the Tai Chi Dragon Asgard Fighting Group in his mind. These things are all counted by him every day, so it is effortless to recall them. Cheng Mo sent private messages one by one in order.

They arranged a forced offline time, and according to Chengmo's usual practice, they did not tell them the reason, and just told them to wait for notification before going online.

Unlike the previous times when orders were issued, there were always questions. This time, everyone answered quickly, and no one refuted or raised objections. Cheng Mo probably understood the students' thoughts. At this moment, no one in the Tai Chi Dragon members believed that they had a chance to get it.

"Singer's trumpet" is just doing human things,

Even fate is hopeless. Anyway, it is you who ultimately bears the command responsibility. If they ignore or even disobey orders at this time, they might be dragged into the water. Then they might as well try their best to cooperate with Cheng Mo so that a summary meeting can be held.

At that time, there was no excuse for Cheng Mo to find.

This is exactly what Cheng Mo wants. As for the issue of morale, Cheng Mo has also considered it carefully. After all, the battle between gladiators is different from the battle between armies. It has nothing to do with life, so even if morale has an impact, it will also have an impact.

Not big, but confidentiality is more important.

After Cheng Mo informed everyone in place, he continued to climb up, and soon reached the top of the mountain. At this time, as long as he was on the upper level, he could see the tall walls of Guisfield Abbey. Cheng Mo leaned against the uneven mountain and listened carefully.

The subtle sounds were blown erratically by the cold wind on the top of the mountain, but with the powerful carrier, Cheng Mo was able to capture the friction of chainmail, the whirring of torches in the wind, the sound of flags waving in the wind, and the shuddering conversations.

.

"Captain, Christmas is tomorrow, and I heard that the monastery will hold a grand ceremony."

"Yes! More than 600 witches were arrested, and the dean personally imposed divine punishment, asking these filthy things to return to hell."

"More than six hundred? This is truly the grace and mercy of the Creator. It seems that tomorrow will be busy enough. I would also like to take a leave to see if I can go down the mountain and go home to see my wife and children! It seems that I can't go."

"Maybe today, maybe they will arrive tomorrow. So you definitely have no chance. By the way, your house on St. Peter Street in the Arch is so beautifully renovated! I like the bluebells in your yard."

"Captain, how do you know about the bluebells planted in our yard?"

"Cough~cough~Didn't you say it yourself last time?"

"Really? Did I say that?"

Cheng Mo did not continue to eavesdrop on the boring conversation. He took out a small periscope from his pocket and leaned against the mountain to observe for a while. The gray rock wall was at least twenty meters high. Even a carrier could not jump up. On the wall

Crusader soldiers wearing helmets, chainmails, and white linen vests stood at ten steps, one post, five steps, and one sentry. The guards were very tight. Cheng Mo hesitated for a moment, but decided to use teleportation to go in and find out, and briefly estimated the distance.

, Cheng Mo used teleportation.

However, unexpectedly, he did not appear within the expected city wall, but under the city wall. Cheng Mo turned his head and saw a faint golden light emerging on the city wall. This golden light formed a huge

Eight-pointed star logo.

"Why does it feel like it's getting brighter?"

"It's daybreak? It's still very early before the sun comes out. You can tell Larson by looking at the stars."

"No, I really feel like it's getting brighter. Didn't it say that there is a holy curse buried in the city wall, and it will light up when encountering demons?"

"Devil? I, Leg-Eater Collison, have lived for forty years and still don't know what the devil looks like. I really wish it would jump out and let me see it." Captain Lao Wang said loudly just now, his voice was particularly loud in the silent midnight.

Loud.

"Haha, Larson, I guess you haven't seen the girl for a long time, so you are dizzy!"

"Maybe I drank too much! By the way, who has any more wine? Give me a sip. This damn weather is really cold."

Happy laughter rang out from the city wall. Cheng Mo's teleportation CD had not yet turned well, but he knew that he must not alert the enemy at this time, so he carefully and quickly moved along the curved city wall toward the back of the castle.

"Captain, I'm not the kind of person like Du Lang who likes to joke. I swear I definitely saw a bright light just now!"

"Okay! Larson, let's see if the Sacred Wall reminds us of the coming demon."

The firelight illuminated the city wall behind Cheng Mo. Cheng Mo cut the "Lord of Plague" in seconds, then fell to the ground and merged with the dark gray basalt. There were no searchlights in this era, and the lighting range of the torch was limited. Cheng Mo was sure of the other party.

Can't find myself.

Sure enough, a moment later laughter sounded again from the wall: "Larson! Look, there is nothing? I have been guarding Guisfield Abbey for more than ten years, and I have never seen the wall light up, let alone any demons. You are too nervous."

Got it!"

"It's Christmas Eve soon, and even demons should celebrate the Creator's birthday in hell! If any demon dares to come, I, the Leg-Eater Collison, will break his legs."

Cheng Mo, who was lying on the ground, used teleportation to return to the mountain road, then turned around and jumped down the mountain. Like a stone falling from the mountain, he quickly disappeared into the dark night. Cheng Mo returned to the camp, and a group of Japanese kamikazes

The people were grilling fish by the stream. They said that the grilling was not accurate. They probably got the iron pot from the NPC knight, and they were frying the fish in the pot at this time.

Aso Daikichi, who was sitting on a rock, saw Cheng Mo and immediately shouted: "Mr. Lin, come and see what good things we have caught?"

Camping at the foot of the enemy's mountain made Cheng Mo a little confused, but Saionji Benimaru told him that Aso Daikichi could only be smoothed over, not forceful, so Cheng Mo could only forcefully bend.

With a smile on his lips, he walked closer and looked down at the iron pot placed on the fire.

"This is burbot. This alpine cold-water fish is famous for its plump liver. It tastes far better than artificially cultivated foie gras. It used to be an important raw material for preparing cod liver oil! But now there is very little cod liver oil made from burbot, and there is not enough to eat.

How can you use such precious ingredients to make cod liver oil?" Aso Daiki said proudly.

Cheng Mo glanced at the rocks by the stream. Aachen was cutting open a salmon with his knife. The orange-red fish meat was particularly tender under the jumping firelight. In addition to the salmon, there were also squid and arctic grayling next to it.

and alpine spades and other cold water fish. It seems that Aso is directing Aachen to cook fish. There are also fish in the forest.

There were several NPC knights rummaging under the firs and red pine trees, probably looking for porcini mushrooms and matsutake mushrooms. Cheng Mo did not expect that Aso Daikichi would make the best use of everything and treat the NPC knights as servants. He tried his best to suppress it.

Not satisfied, he said softly: "It seems that Mr. Aso is very knowledgeable about eating."
