By the time Gulitem arrived at Selia Village according to the map, it was already the next morning.
The low thunder in the sky keeps roaring, and the dark clouds cover the sun. Although the wind is not that cold in this season, in the mountains of this mine, the cold and wet wind blowing on the face will make people feel uncomfortable.
It feels like a sticky lake.
It is estimated that the two-headed ogre brothers ran all the way and spent a whole night to get here, but they seemed to be in good spirits, especially when they happened to catch up for breakfast. Surdak brought some canned luncheon meat and
Almost half of the pot of porridge cooked together with military rations went into the two-headed ogre's belly.
Hunter Crake ate this cereal-like military ration for the first time. Because it was mixed with some luncheon meat, he thought it tasted quite good. He ate it with gusto while holding a wooden bowl. He was probably worried about his wife and eldest son.
I started packing my luggage after breakfast.
Naomi didn't eat the breakfast prepared by Suldak at all. She ate something like dry moss and just stuffed it into her mouth in a hurry. Suldak didn't see what it was.
On the contrary, the injuries on her body healed quickly. Although her ribs and shoulders were still wrapped with shroud-like bandages, at least these injuries did not seem to affect her movement.
When Naomi saw a two-headed ogre approaching in the morning, her cold, lifeless eyes almost narrowed into a straight line.
Surdak was not in a hurry to enter the unfamiliar mountains, but kept waiting in the village of Selia until noon that day, when Siya and the bearded Edgar led a heavy armored infantry regiment of 1,500 people.
When we arrived at the abandoned mining area, we started planning how to enter the mountains.
Looking at the mighty heavy armored infantry soldiers, even Craik was too frightened to move casually.
Under Suldak's arrangement, the bearded Edgar left a scout team. This scout team would send the old Avi and his wife to the nearest town so that the old couple could meet with Crake.
The two daughters stayed in that hotel temporarily.
After arranging everything, Suldak followed Naomi and Craik to the mountains at the back of the mining area and rushed to the research institute built by the Black Magic Priory in the mountains.
Crake was very familiar with this area. The heavy armored infantry soldiers walked along the mountain road and could always find a reasonably easy road in the barren ridge.
Naomi summoned a zombie hyena and searched for the Priory Institute of Dark Arts with a certain smell...
It was already afternoon when the team set off, and they waited until dark. According to Crake, it was still at least half a day's journey from the research institute of the Black Magic Monastery.
It was difficult to walk on the mountain road at night. Suldak knew that the heavy armored infantry regiment came here overnight. These infantry soldiers basically didn't get much rest all day and night, so they looked for a suitable place to camp early.
The infantry regiment was stationed here.
But at night, Naomi became more energetic again.
Aphrodite walked out of Surdak's tent, glanced at Surdak first, and then said hello to Gulitem and Thea very casually.
When Thea saw Aphrodite, although she didn't notice any changes in her, the feeling that Aphrodite gave her did have some differences.
Although she wears a black magic robe and a mithril mask, which makes her look mysterious and sexy, she seems to be less frivolous and exaggerated now.
Siya knew that this succubus who had been staying in her hometown for a long time had won the trust of Surdak. She rarely appeared in front of outsiders. This time, Surdak called her over because he had no helpers around him.
She knew that after the two signed a magic contract, they were able to cross the void with each other. This was what Thea envied the most...
After assigning duty tasks for the night, the bearded Edgar came over to report to Suldak on the situation of the heavy armored infantry regiment.
Surdak gathered everyone around the campfire. Surdak asked Crake: "Krek, how far are we from the monastery's research institute?"
Hunter Crake pulled out a burning stick from the fire, stepped on the open flame with his shoe, knocked out the coals, and then drew a few strokes on the ground.
His face was completely covered by worry, his eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes, and he looked a little tired and anxious.
"If our current location is here, then this is a mountain ridge. We need to climb over here tomorrow morning to see the hiding place of the scholars of the Priory. In terms of distance, at least we have to walk on the big road.
It’s half a day’s journey, and these heavy armored infantry aren’t crossing the mountains very fast, so they probably won’t arrive until tomorrow night,” Hunter Crake said.
He seemed to have thought about this path countless times and said it fluently without thinking.
Surdak nodded, and then said to Gulitem: "You stay here in the camp tonight and deal with emergencies with Thea here. I plan to go to their hiding place with Aphrodite to inquire about the situation.
.”
"I know, boss, you have 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 Gulitem, and then said to the hunter Crake: "Kreke, this time you
Act with us, and if conditions permit, I will try to rescue your wife and son, but the prerequisite is that they are still alive."
When Craik heard what Surdak said, the hand holding the fire stick shook violently, and the fire stick fell to the ground, causing some sparks to fly from the completely extinguished stick.
Suldak wanted to say something to comfort him, but unfortunately he was brewing in his heart silently for a long time and didn't know what to say to him.
Aphrodite glanced at Naomi with a calm expression.
Naomi looked a little weak in front of the bonfire. 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 okay?"
"Well, don't worry! I won't hold on..."
Naomi felt her heart warm inexplicably.
Even if the old Avi and his wife rarely talk to her about this kind of concern.
Most of the time, she faced pain and loneliness alone, living alone with skeletons and zombies. Now she has become neither human nor ghost...
However, she was a woman with a strong character, and even so, she never thought about dying.
"Okay, let's set off now." Suldak decided immediately.
