Chapter 13 13: [Havok Mountain] Going up the mountain

Angie was quite dissatisfied with the fact that the fearless people insisted on calling a curse a blessing.

Even if that thing could make her stronger, she didn't want to call it a blessing.

Under Barton's guidance, Anji went to the logistics unit and received a set of chain armor and a simple double-edged sword.

Perhaps because her physical fitness has indeed improved, this one-handed knight's sword, which is one meter long and weighs one kilogram, is actually a little light in her hand.

Looking at the dark iron scabbard that matched it, she couldn't help but think of the scabbard that she had left in the forest, that she had once regarded as a treasure, and that had been with her through life and death.

Maybe if she had the chance, she should go back to the forest, not only for herself, but also to give that thing back to Scott.

You always have to repay what you owe someone, and it is absolutely impossible to spend money to buy a new scabbard to compensate Scott. Not to mention that she is broke now, so why should she spend money on something that can be picked up for free?

purchase?

The only choice is to give Scott the sword first.

After trying out his new weapon a few times, Anji turned his attention to the armor.

"Barton, can I get this chain armor before going to a foreign land?"

"No. You are a trainee knight now, so you can get these things."

Anji was keenly aware of the unreasonableness and asked with some confusion:

"Then why did you come to get the chain mail after you had scratched so many sets of Jeshir's clothes?"

In her suspicious eyes, Barton just smiled and answered casually:

"Forgot. You are also a fearless person anyway and can withstand beatings very well. Only by using your body to remember the feeling of being beaten can you become stronger! Armor and the like are in the way!"

With these confident words, Anji didn't know for a moment whether to be angry at herself for getting beaten in vain or to be angry at Jesiel who had to mend clothes every day.

Under the guidance of Barton, the experienced deputy leader of the Knights, they brought the following items:

Map × 1, food × N, compass × 3, pocket watch × 3, black candle × 3, thick and long hemp rope × 1,

And Sean × 1, who ranks second to last in terms of strength within the Knights.

Among them, three black candles were obtained by Barton directly from the tower where Anji lived. According to Barn, these black candles are called eternal candles, and they are one of the trophies obtained by the Knights in a foreign land. As a treasure, its only

Its function is to provide long-lasting lighting and will not be extinguished due to any external factors.

Even if the candle is split in half, they will burn separately until they are smashed into slag, and the flame on them will be completely annihilated.

And because the flame on the candle has no temperature, it will not burn anything, and it can be stuffed into a sack or pocket.

The hemp rope is a relic of the Cyclops in the forest. If it is strong enough, it can be expanded and contracted according to the needs of the user, and can be up to five hundred meters long. Since the place they are going to this time is

The cave on Havok Mountain allowed it to be seen again after being hidden in the box, and it became a key prop.

Looking at the bloodstains on it, Anji felt very complicated. She vaguely remembered that this thing had linked two people before...

As for the knight named Sean who was mixed into the luggage, he was brought here by Barton. Because Barton felt that a journey with only two people was really boring. From the perspective of the deputy captain, Sean as a

The youngest person in the Knights needs a lot of experience.

This knight named Sean is an ordinary-looking young man. He is sixteen years old this year. He has thick dark circles in his deep eye sockets. He always looks listless. Even if he is wearing a strong plate armor,

It couldn't hide his thin figure.

After receiving Slade's approval, the three young men went to the stables to fetch three horses and embarked on their journey there.

The place they are going to this time is a third-level alien realm: an unnamed cave located on the mountainside of Havok.

Because this foreign land was located outside the territory of Glosk, it took them five full days to travel.

Along the way, Barton still maintained his usual chatty nature, either talking or drinking water.

Sean and Angie, who had never met each other before, reached a tacit agreement on how to deal with Barton: Sean would come to chat with Barton in the morning, and Angie would come in the afternoon.

As for the night, the two of them would take turns talking and pretending to be asleep if they could.

Barton was very dissatisfied with their perfunctory attitude and muttered over and over again that he wanted to complain to Lord Slade.

But even Barton himself knew that Slade would not care about this kind of thing, and naturally he would not be able to deceive Sean and Angie.

Since the horses could not resist the curse, before they walked out of the barrier, they parked the horses in the nearest village, named Slade, and randomly threw a few copper coins to a villager as a fee for taking care of the horses.

This was obviously not enough. As a former commoner who had also been oppressed by knights, Anji felt sympathy from the bottom of his heart for the villager who dared to be angry but dare not speak out.

But a clever woman can't make a living without rice. She doesn't have money either.

They distributed the luggage evenly, and Patton was responsible for keeping the map and hemp rope. Barton stuffed the map randomly into his inner pocket, and tied the thick hemp rope around his waist in circles, which looked very strange.

funny.

As they walked out of the barrier, the atmosphere within the team became visibly heavier.

Putting aside the curse, since they are no longer in the Grosk Territory, it would not be surprising to encounter enemies or monsters wherever and whenever they can.

Although they only brought some simple luggage, they were wrapped up tightly. Except for Barton, Angie and Sean also brought knight shields, just in case.

Places closer to the barrier are usually low-level alien realms. Under the guidance of the map, the three of them successfully arrived at Havok Mountain.

The forest on Havok Mountain blocks out the sun, the dark soil is extremely soft, and there are dense streams. Huge, decayed tree trunks fell to the ground in various directions, covered with thick moss. Occasionally, a few lucky beams of sunlight pass through the leaves, shining on them.

Brighten their path forward so that the atmosphere here will not be too gloomy.

In this humid and dark environment, mushrooms grow wildly, and grass half-waist high can be seen everywhere.

With every step they took, their feet would sink slightly into the mud. The cold muddy water seeped into their soles through the gaps in the iron boots and stuck to their soles stickyly, which made the three young people miserable.

This was also the first time that Anji took the initiative to enter a foreign environment. She subconsciously tightened the straps on her shield, was highly concentrated, and was ready to fight at any time.

"Can we get to the cave today?"

Unexpectedly, Anji would take the initiative to stir up the topic, and Barton instantly became energetic.

He first strategically cleared his throat, coughed twice, and then said in a pretentious tone:

"Ahem. Don't worry, knights! According to the map, the terrain of Havok Mountain is not complicated. As long as you follow your beloved deputy captain closely, you will definitely reach your destination before tonight!"

Although this sentence had a lot of flaws, Sean and Angie still breathed a sigh of relief.

No one wants to spend the night in this forest.

After a brief conversation, the surroundings became quiet again. The only sound left in the world seemed to be the sound of muddy water splashing as they walked, and the slight sound of stepping on dead branches and leaves.

Except for the third-level foreign land-cave located halfway up the mountain, everything on Havok Mountain is a second-level foreign land. But whether it is Havok Mountain as a second-level foreign land or a third-level foreign land cave,

It belongs to the low-level curse area. The resistance value of all people present is higher than 30, so the curse here will not have any impact on them.

When they had walked nearly half of the way, they came to a depression covered with mushrooms. The layers of mushrooms were thick and plump, making Barton salivate.

"Hey, I heard that wild mushrooms are very delicious. Do you want to try them?"

He deliberately lowered his voice, giving off a mysterious feeling.

Angie glanced at Sean secretly and found that he maintained a silent and neutral attitude as always - neither objection nor approval.

There was probably only one reason for him to do this: he didn't want to be entangled with Barton.

In order to ensure the safety of the entire team, Anji had no choice but to step forward.

"Dear Deputy Commander Barton. Do you know that some mushrooms are poisonous?"

When she said the first half of the sentence, she deliberately emphasized her words in an attempt to make someone with an appetite wake up early.

Of course Barton knows that. As deputy commander, his food treatment will be much better than that of ordinary people, but it is limited to softer bread, more meat, occasional drinking of cow and goat milk, and the ability to drink more milk when not being beaten.

When Ryder found out, he secretly went to a pub in Kent for a few drinks.

Wild mushrooms are delicious, he heard from those drunkards.

"Anji, if you think about it, we are fearless! Do you know the meaning of this term?"

His tone was as exaggerated as ever: "We are the ones who receive blessings! This little poison can't kill anyone!"

If Anji hadn't still had the basic common sense of a modern person and the soul of a man in his twenties, he might have been fooled by his sincere speech.

Although this person is probably just playing tricks, if he is not stopped at this time, he will put these half-joking words into practice.

Just when Anji was persuading this heartless yellow-haired young man with earnest words, Sean, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke:

"Do you know the characteristics of Havok Mountain's alien environment?"

I always spend a lot of time every day revising previously written and unpublished manuscripts.

Originally, each chapter was written to be about 2,000 words long.

Then, in the revisions again and again, from about 2,000 words, it suddenly increased to several hundred words...

What the hell am I doing!

Off-topic: I announce that it finally increased by 1 collection yesterday!

Why is it so difficult QAQ
