Chapter 1039 Little Heitan’s strange behavior

"Xiao Heitan should be fine..."

When Jeluka and I came back to our senses from the sea of ​​books, we found that it was completely dark, so we hurriedly left the Mages Guild, and passed by the laboratory of the Naha Naha team of the Saving Humanity Project to take a look, and found that inside

The lights were still bright, but an unconcealable smell of gunpowder even came out of the crack in the door.

Mages of the two races, you have worked hard. Come on, and don't fight. I wish you the best.

Jeluka made a V-sign for victory with a facial expression (I feel that this gesture is too simple and universal, and can easily be imitated by others). Needless to say, what she meant was probably: Huh, I’m close to you.

The maid is indeed unparalleled in wisdom. She just uses a little trick to make these guys work like cows and horses.

Although I really want to complain about this guy's black-hearted capitalist ideas, this time it is indeed thanks to her suggestions, even if it is some unscrupulous little tricks, otherwise I don't think it will be possible to rely on the alliance mage team alone.

, will work so hard to do research for Xiao Heitan.

By the way, we have also found a lot of information about Dragon Soul Grass, and even found some decisive books. We can basically confirm this thing with a very vulgar name, except for the one that is marked as a mystery within a mystery by all the books on the continent.

, even the existence of Dragon Paradise, which is even doubtful, can only be found there, and it is impossible to grow in other places. Unless there is someone who can freely enter and exit Dragon Paradise, the Dragon Soul Grass may flow out. Otherwise,

The only way we can get it is to go to Dragon Paradise and deal with those dragons.

This is simply unexplainable, you bastard! Let’s not talk about where the Dragon Paradise is. Even if we knew, could those giant dragons entertain us in a friendly manner and politely give us a piece of Dragon Soul Grass?!

Upon discovering this fact, Jeluka and I both felt as if we had been deceived by the toothbrush stall owner with the "non-hair-removing" brand. We angrily lifted the table, almost transforming into Godzilla and blowing the entire toothbrush.

The library was shaken.

After that, because it was getting dark and we were worried about Xiao Heitan, we decisively gave up our revenge plan and hurried home.

"Hey, where are the people?"

A dim kerosene lamp was lit in the dark cave, but there was no one inside. Jeluka and I couldn't help but look at each other, and a thought flashed through our minds.

Could it be that he went to the mine again?

"You wait here, maybe Xiao Heitan will come back soon, and I will go to the mine to have a look."

I frowned, put the cloak I had just taken off back on, and said to Jeluka.

As a result, as soon as she took a step forward, she was held by Jeluka's little hand.

"Is His Royal Highness an idiot?"

"I don't want to be scolded like that by you again for no reason." I looked at Jeluka speechlessly.

Huh? Why did I say "again"?

"Isn't there this?"

Jeluka dug into the pocket of her maid uniform and took out a magical thing. The dim kerosene light reflected the metallic luster. When I took a closer look, I saw that it was a pirated stalker that had been forgotten for a long time.

guide.

"Ah, I forgot all about it!!"

For a moment, I couldn't come back to my senses, and then I clapped my hands hard and shouted suddenly.

In the past few days, I have been busy getting used to civilian life, thinking about Xiao Heitan and how to seal the painful worm's activities. I have completely forgotten about the crystal shards, let alone the crystal shards.

The painful worm came from the crystal fragment embedded in Xiao Heitan's forehead.

Therefore, with the pirated tracking magic device, Xiao Heitan's whereabouts will not escape our control.

"I really don't know if His Royal Highness is too focused or if he is really a fool."

Jeluka sighed like this and put the tracking magic device on the left side of Tucao slowly's head again. In an instant, the skull biscuit gave off a piercing earring alarm.

If it is worn on the head all the time, it can probably be used as a hundred-watt light bulb. I just don't know whether it needs to be recharged and how long the battery life is.

Seeing that the originally dark cave suddenly turned white as if it had been flashed by lightning, I couldn't help but complain in my heart.

"It's nearby, it's not a place, the direction...is this way."

Because of the reaction immediately shown by the tracking magic device, we can instantly judge that the current location of Xiao Heitan is not very far from us, definitely no more than 20 kilometers, at least, for those above our two pseudo-realms

For a strong person, 20 kilometers is not a long distance.

Skillfully playing with the tracking magic device, after a while, we came to a very close place. Standing in front of us was a deserted mountain that stretched for dozens of miles. Starting from a few hundred meters high, the mountain became steeper.

, the higher you get to the top, the more straight the cliff becomes like a knife blade, like a long-necked funnel lying upside down.

This shape is somewhat similar to the Demon Fortress, but the height is far from enough. The top of the mountain is only a thousand meters, and the natural peak pillar supporting the Demon Fortress is more than three thousand meters from the lowest cliff on the ground.

the height of.

This is definitely an uninhabited mountain. From the traces we observed along the way, it is very clear that it is not an experience area for adventurers, and few ordinary civilians have the courage to come to such a dangerous place.

The question is...why did Xiao Heitan come here?

Suppressing the doubts in our hearts, we raised our heads slightly and looked at this deserted place and the third person appearing in the depths of the night.

A panting black-robed mage.

"Sir Elder."

His figure flickered several times, and finally appeared in front of us, bowing slightly and saluting.

"No need to say more polite words, where is Xiao Heitan?" I stopped and asked anxiously.

"this……"

The black-robed mage smiled bitterly and looked at the mountains behind him.

"Is it there?"

I also raised my head in disbelief and looked at the straight cliff that was nearly a thousand meters high and the peak was completely hidden in the night sky.

Although this kind of height is nothing to the adventurers here, if you are a civilian, let alone Xiao Heitan, even an adult with strong physical strength will have difficulty climbing.

The mage nodded silently, confirming our guess.

"Take us to see it."

I pulled the mage up, his figure swept away, Jeluka followed closely, and the three figures shot straight up towards the mountain peak.

Then, at nearly four-fifths of the height, under the guidance of the mage, he found Xiao Heitan.

She was nesting on a large raised rock in the cliff. Although the position was not large, it was enough to carry the weight of this thin body. The fierce wind nearly a thousand meters above the ground made her look like a broken leaf in the wind.

It seemed like he would be blown away at any moment, fall from a thousand meters high, and be shattered into pieces.

Even if the environment is so dangerous, this is a rare landing point on this cliff. Xiao Heitan probably wanted to take a rest here, panting tiredly, curling up tightly, trying to shrink himself even smaller to reduce the impact of the strong wind.

Invasion.

Seeing this scene, the two of us almost screamed.

"Can't show up."

Reason has stopped our actions. If we go out now, we will be exposed.

No wonder the mage was panting when he first appeared. For him who is not yet able to fly, it must be very difficult to protect Xiao Heitan at such a high altitude. However, even a mage has such a difficult time. As an ordinary person,

How did the human little Heitan get here with her thin body, and why did she do such a more dangerous thing?

I want to know, at this moment, Jeluka and I are very eager to find out the answer. If we don’t find the answer and cannot understand Xiao Heitan’s thoughts, we will simply not be able to enter her heart and be recognized by her.

The emergence of her parents' identity is just a waste of effort, it cannot drive away the negative feelings in her heart and make her truly happy.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Heitan took action.

As a civilian's flesh and blood, resting here can certainly replenish some physical strength, but if you stay for a long time, your body will be frozen by the cold wind. It seems that Xiao Heitan understands this and will continue without fully recovering.

Choose to climb up.

She seems to be very familiar with this place. Even if she can only judge by a little light, she can skillfully find the next climbing point. Her thin body sticks to the cliff like a gecko to avoid being blown down by the strong wind, and then she climbs skillfully.

When we climbed up, it didn't look like we were here for the first time. Discovering this fact not only made us feel relieved, but also made us more worried.

It's not the first time... it's not the first time... I'm familiar with the climbing points... and I have proficient climbing skills... In other words, Xiao Heitan often did this before?

This little body has endured so many hardships in the past!!

Not only the two of us, but also the eyes of the mage who was being carried in his hand became slightly wet. Searching the entire Dark Continent, I am afraid that we will never find anyone of our age who has suffered as much as Xiao Heitan.

People, these sufferings are enough to crush an adult, but she can bear it with her small body.

Generally speaking, if you live in such an environment, even if you don't starve to death from freezing and exhaustion, you will still choose to commit suicide.

Suddenly, I even had this idea in my heart. Although it is unpleasant and makes me feel creepy just thinking about it, I can't completely erase this idea. The gray color of the eyes of such a small child is clearly telling...

He has lost the meaning of life, is afraid of the world, and has endured so much suffering. I am afraid that no one would be attached to this kind of life...

So what is it that is supporting Xiao Heitan to survive and persist in the hell-like five years until now? The mind of this child who should be acting like a spoiled child in the arms of his parents is extremely complicated, or can it be said that

Extremely simple?

All of this is a mystery. Jeluka and I suddenly discovered that if we want to truly save Xiao Heitan, it is more important than finding the dragon soul grass that exists like a mouthful or suppressing the action of the painful worm.

There seems to be a more important and priority task in front of him, which is to understand Xiao Heitan.

"Your Highness..."
