Use foreign lands to conquer the whole of Europe

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

Angie complained a lot about the fact that the fearless people insisted on calling the curse a blessing.

Even if that stuff can make her stronger, she doesn't want to call it a blessing.

Under the leadership of Patton, Angie went to the logistics unit to get a set of chain mail and a simple double-edged sword.

Perhaps it was because her physical fitness had indeed improved, this one-handed knight's sword, which was one meter long and weighed one kilogram, seemed a bit light in her hand.

Looking at the dull iron scabbard that was paired with it, she couldn't help but think of the scabbard that she had left in the forest, that she had once treasured, and that had been with her through life and death.

Maybe she should go back to the woods if she had the chance, not only for herself, but to get that thing back to Scout.

What was owed always had to be paid back, and it was out of the question to pay Scout for a new scabbard.Not to mention that she is penniless now, why should she pay for something that she can pick up for free?
I can only wrong the sword of Scott first.

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

"Barton, can this chain mail be obtained before going to a foreign land?"

"No. You are an apprentice knight now, so you should have been assigned these."

Angie was keenly aware of the irrationality, and asked in confusion:
"Then why did you come to pick up the chain mail after scraping so many sets of Jasir's clothes?"

Under her suspicious eyes, Barton just smiled and answered casually:
"Forgot. Anyway, you are also a fearless person, and you are very resistant to beatings. Only by using your body to remember the feeling of being beaten, can you become stronger! Armor is in the way!"

This straightforward remark made Anji wonder for a moment whether to be angry at herself for being beaten for nothing, or at Jessie who mends clothes every day.

Under the guidance of Barton, the deputy head of the experienced Knights, they brought the following items:
Map×1, Grain×N, Compass×3, Pocket Watch×3, Black Candle×3, Very Thick and Long Hemp Rope×1,

And Sean × 1, who ranks second to last in strength in the knight order.

Among them, the three black candles were directly shunted by Barton from the tower where Angie lived.According to Barn, these black candles are called Eternal Candles, and they were one of the trophies obtained by the Knights in foreign lands.As a treasure, its only function is to be able to illuminate for a long time, and it will not be extinguished due to any external factors.

Even if the candles were split in half, they would continue to burn separately, until they were blasted to slag, and the flames on them would be completely annihilated.

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

And that hemp rope is a relic of the Cyclops in the forest. If it is strong enough, it can also expand and contract according to the user's needs, up to 500 meters long.Since the place they are going to this time is the cave on Havok Mountain, this allows it to be seen again and become a key prop.

Looking at the blood stains on it, Angie's mood was very complicated.She vaguely remembered that there were two people connected to this thing before...

As for the knight named Sean who got in the luggage, he was dragged here by Barton.Because Barton felt that the journey with only two people was really boring.From the perspective of the deputy captain, Sean, as the youngest member of the Knights, needs a lot of experience.

This knight named Sean is an ordinary-looking boy, 16 years old this year, with thick dark circles around his deep eye sockets, and always looks listless. Can't hide his thin figure.

After obtaining Slade's approval, the three young men went to the stables to pull out three horses and embarked on the journey.

This time they are going to a third-level alien world: an unnamed cave on the side of Havok Mountain.

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

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

Sean and Angie, who had never met before, reached a tacit agreement on dealing with Button: Sean would come to chat with Button in the morning, and Angie would come in the afternoon.

As for the night, the two of them will take turns to deal with it, and pretend to be asleep if they can.

Barton was very dissatisfied with their perfunctory attitude, and repeatedly muttered that he would file a complaint with Lord Slade.

But even Barton knew that Slade would not care about this kind of thing, so naturally he couldn't deceive Sean and Angie.

Because the horses couldn't resist the curse, before they walked out of the barrier, they parked the horses in the nearest village, named Slade, and threw a few copper coins to a villager at random as the cost of taking care of the horses.

This is clearly not enough.As a former commoner who was once oppressed by the knights, Anji sympathized with the villager who dared not speak out from the bottom of his heart.

But it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.She also has no money.

They distributed the luggage evenly, and Barton took care of the map and hemp rope.It was very funny to see Barton randomly stuffing the map into his inner pocket and tying the thick hemp rope around his waist.

As they walked out of the barrier, the atmosphere in the team became heavier visible to the naked eye.

Aside from the curse, since they are no longer in Glosk, it is not surprising that they encounter enemies or monsters whenever and wherever.

Although they only brought some simple luggage, their bodies were tightly wrapped.Except for Button, Angie and Sean all brought their knight shields, just in case.

The places that are relatively close to the barrier are generally low-level foreign lands.Under the guidance of the map, the three of them came to Havok Mountain smoothly.

The forests on Havok Mountain block out the sun, the dark soil is extremely soft, and the streams are dense.Huge rotten tree trunks fell to the ground in all directions, covered with thick moss.Occasionally a few lucky rays of sunshine pass through the leaves, illuminating their path, keeping the atmosphere from being too gloomy.

In this humid and dark environment, mushrooms grow crazily, and grasses as high as half the waist can be seen everywhere.

With every step they took, their feet sank slightly into the dirt.The cold muddy water seeped into their soles through the gaps in the iron boots and stuck sticky to their soles, which made the three young men miserable.

This is also the first time Angie has entered a foreign land on her own initiative.She subconsciously tightened the straps on the shield, her mind was highly concentrated, and she was ready to fight at any time.

"Can we get to the cave today?"

Unexpectedly, Angie would take the initiative to stir up the topic, and Barton instantly regained his spirits.

He first strategically cleared his throat, coughed twice, and then said in a pretentious tone:
"Hmph. Knights, don't worry! According to the map, the terrain of Havok Mountain is not complicated. As long as you follow your beloved deputy commander closely, you will be able to reach your destination before tonight!"

Although this sentence has a lot of slots, Sean and Angie still heaved a sigh of relief.

No one wants to spend the night in this forest.

After a brief conversation, the surroundings became quiet again.The whole world seems to be only the sound of splashing mud and water when they walk, and the slight sound of stepping on dead branches and leaves.

Aside from the third-level foreign land on the mountainside—except for the cave, everything on Havok Mountain is a second-level foreign land.But whether it is Havok Mountain, which is a second-level foreign land, or a third-level foreign land cave, they all belong to the low-level cursed area.The resistance value of all the people present is higher than [-], so the curse here will not have any effect on them.

When they walked nearly half of the distance, they came to a depression full of mushrooms.The layers of mushrooms are 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, with a feeling of pretending to be mysterious.

Angie glanced at Sean furtively, and found that he remained silent and neutral as always—neither objecting nor approving.

There is probably only one reason for him to do this: he doesn't want to be entangled by Barton.

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

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

When she said the first half of the sentence, she deliberately pronounced her words heavily, trying to wake up someone who was hungry.

Of course Barton knew.As the deputy head, his food and treatment will be much better than that of ordinary people, but it is limited to softer bread, more meat, occasional drink of milk from cows and goats, and in places where Slade cannot find out. Under the circumstances, sneak a drink or two in a pub in Kent.

Wild mushrooms are delicious, and that's what he heard from those drunks.

"Angie, 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 it weren't for Angie's basic common sense as a modern person and a soul in his 20s, he might really be fooled by his sincere speech.

Although this person is probably 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 boy earnestly, Sean, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke:

"Do you know the characteristics of the foreign land of Mount Havok?"

　Every day, I always spend a lot of time revising the previously written and unpublished manuscripts.

　　Originally, each chapter was written to about 2000 words and ended.

　　Then, in the revisions again and again, from about two thousand words, it abruptly increased to several hundred words...

　　What the hell am I doing!
　　----

　　Digression: I announce that yesterday finally added 1 favorite!

　　Why is it so difficult QAQ
