The feeling of hostility did not disappear until the black owl led them into a hotel, which relieved Alice and others. After all, you are in a place with a population of nearly 10000 and almost everyone is hostile to you. This kind of mental pressure is not easy. The hotel that the black owl led them into is called "dark night", which is one of the "industries" of the shadow clan in Hakala.
The hotel is mainly used to entertain members of the shadow clan and several vassal clans. Like several other powerful clans, there are similar hotels and bars in hakalari. These places are not only the foothold for members of their clans to come to Hakala, but also the pattern of division of leather forces. Like this hotel "dark night", with it as the center, almost the whole block is the sphere of influence of the shadow clan.
None of the people living in this neighborhood are affiliated members of the shadow clan. They live here, which is much safer.
"We'll live here today and I'll take you to the holy mountain tomorrow." the black owl said to zero and looked at other humanitarians: "as for you, stay here temporarily during zero's departure. Don't worry, it's safe here if you don't walk around at will."
The black owl calls a sander. The Sanders are very short, like dwarfs in the magic world. But they are smart, good at business and talented in making tools. Most of the craftsmen in Hakala are Sanders. The sound clan is attached to the shadow clan and pays certain materials to the shadow clan every year for protection, which is also the way of survival adopted by many small and medium-sized clans in the black earth.
The sander in front of him was Hagen. At first glance, he thought he was a human child in his teens, but his face was wrinkled like the bark of an ancient tree in the twilight forest. He rubbed his hands and chattered: "Lord Black owl, it's a great honor for you to come, but these human guests may not be very popular in us. Hagen can only arrange some hidden rooms for them, but you have to tell them not to walk around. Recently, those greedy cordians are always wandering around, and there are lazy nado tramps, which is also a headache. Hagen wants to send more guards Wei, but... "
"All right, all right." with the depth of the black owl, it seems that he can't stand the Sandman's wordiness. He interrupted Hagen: "arrange a room for my friends first. As for the rest, I'll let Jess come to you. Talk to him."
"Thank you very much." Hagen's old face showed a bright smile, and then shouted into the depths of the hotel: "damn pound, where's your fat pig dead? Come out and help greet the guests. Do you want to make old Hagen tired with so many guests? My legs are so short and the damn stairs are so high. I'll lower them next time I redecorate them!"
Zero looked at the black owl, who stood up and made a helpless expression.
Next, they were assigned to a room. The pattern of the dark night hotel was like a horseshoe. The lobby was in the middle, and there were high walls and guards on both sides. Of course, the door was open during the day, if there was an attack. Once the door was closed, plus the outer wall up to five meters, it was enough to resist the attack. In fact, most of the buildings in Hakala were occupied With such similar functions, buildings such as the night hotel can be transformed into a small fortress during the war.
For the sake of concealment, their rooms are arranged on the inside of the hotel, so it is difficult for people outside the block to find them. On the contrary, the environment of the room is naturally not as good as those facing the block. At least in terms of vision, the latter is much better than those of them.
The room with zero score is the best. There is a living room, an independent bedroom and a small balcony. There is an armchair and a low table on the balcony. It is also a kind of enjoyment to sit on the balcony and drink at night.
In the evening, people came to the restaurant for dinner. Of course, those sharp blade hunters didn't come to the city. They left zero outside the city. They can hunt some mutant animals to satisfy their hunger, but they are not afraid to starve them.
The dinner was very rich, but the dishes on one table were mostly fruits and vegetables. There were only a few plates of roast meat, which didn't sell well. It can be seen that the hotel chefs were not so good at cooking meat food. The black owl explained: "The recipes of Sanders are mainly wild vegetables and fruits, so there is not much meat in the hotel. The chef is not good at this. You can make do with it."
I tasted it. The purple green vegetables were mixed with condiments similar to salad dressing. They tasted sour, sweet and delicious. Moreover, these vegetables had a lot of water. The juice had a taste similar to honey and was rich in fiber and various nutrients needed by the human body. The taste was not so bad. Besides, people had eaten too much barbecue on the journey. Now it's lighter My taste is also good.
The black owl ate very little. Basically, he only took a few mouthfuls of food to show that he had eaten well. He said to zero, "rest early and we'll leave early tomorrow morning. Your injury?"
Zero moved his arm cut by Albert and said with a smile, "it's not in the way."
"That's good." the black owl stood up and said "feel free" to the others, so he went back to his room first.
A meal lasted nearly an hour, during which the hotel kitchen had to serve food continuously, which made old Hagen complain that human beings could eat too much. Her sad face made people laugh. After dinner, Leah said she would live with moni. It's no problem. Moni's injury has recovered. If anything, she can protect Leah. There's no need to worry about it.
When I returned to my room, I saw two bottles of wine made by Sanders on the entry table. There is a note below, with the word "gift" written in crooked human language. Zero smiled, took a bath first, and then came to the small balcony with two bottles of wine. Unscrewing the bottle cap, there was a faint smell of wine. After a little taste, the wine tastes sweet, but the strength of the wine is fierce, which surprised him.
He can roughly taste that it is brewed with some kind of fruit, but he doesn't know what other formula is added to this fruit wine. The stamina is very strong. If ordinary people are afraid of drinking a few drinks, they have to lie down. Zero is very novel. You should know that the effect of alcohol on them is almost the same as that of boiled water. As far as I know, asgatri has some special drinks for high-level, and even added psychotropic drugs to make high-level people feel drunk.
And those special drinks are enough for an ordinary family to live a full year of food and clothing in asgat.
Zero seldom drinks, like less wine that can make him feel drunk. Anyway, he won't leave until tomorrow. He doesn't mind getting drunk alone tonight. After a few more drinks, I felt slightly drunk. This feeling is really novel and wonderful. Wine, like music, seems to circulate among different races. Drunkenness will remind people of things they didn't think of or didn't dare to think about.
Like zero now, this slightly drunk feeling made him open the valve of memory, think of what happened in the western continent, and miss Cinderella more. Unconsciously, he had left the continent for several months, and he didn't know where Cinderella was now. In terms of the reproductive cycle of human beings in the new era, if Cinderella wants to, she can even give birth to a new life now.
I don't know whether the crystallization between myself and her is a clever boy or a lovely girl? Think of zero, and even outline the image of the child in your mind. That's an image based on the combination of his face and hindrella's. In terms of zero current brain computing power, such a picture is almost the same as reality.
When you imagine your child, a smile can't help escaping from the corners of zero's mouth.
When he picked up the bottle and planned to take another sip, he was alarmed. The wooden chair he was sitting on was smashed by a sudden arrow! When the strength of the arrow disappeared, it still plunged into the wall, and the arrow feathers at the tail swayed. Zero didn't stay, a tumbling had arrived in the bedroom. When he looked outside the balcony again, his eyes were awe inspiring, and he didn't look drunk.
The power behind him suddenly came, and then there was a continuous burst from the ceiling. A tall figure followed the scattered mud ash and sawdust to the zero bed and directly pressed his bed across. Then he roared and ran forward. The killer cut off his head with his hands divided into knives and axes.
With a dull hum, a thin golden flame erupted from his eyes. Without changing his posture, he slipped back quickly and crashed directly into the man's arms. Then the shadow of the fist flew, and the dull whistling of the reloaded warhead kept ringing in the small bedroom. Like a storm, zero killed the man who attacked him without the power of backhand.
A heavy punch was pumped into the opponent's abdomen, and the reloaded warhead had a random secondary implosion effect. In the thunder storm, a wave of blood rushed out from the man's back, splashing the whole wall with fragments of bones and some internal organs. The other party was hit hard and finally fell down, but he died. Zero then saw that the alien attacking him was covered with gray hair, but there were black hair on his chest, naturally forming an "X" pattern.
It was like an ape man, and when he heard the news here, the black owl broke into the house first. Seeing the killer killed by zero, the shadow clan elder asked, "what's going on?"
At the end of the speech, zero suddenly shifted and let a strong arrow shot in from the window be nailed directly to the wall. Then there were several arrows chasing zero. Zero and the black owl retreated to the living room and looked at the arrows nailed in a row on the bedroom floor.
Alice and others also came one after another. Jin lined up the crowd and said to zero, "Yelu has gone to greet the archer."
At zero o'clock, he was very relieved of Yelu. Sure enough, ten minutes later. Yelu came back and caught a man. It was also an alien, tall and thin, with a pale face. It seemed that he was knocked unconscious by Yelu. The girl threw him to the ground. Jin quickly found a chair and tied him tightly. The black owl bounced his hands and released a jet of dark energy from his fingertips.
He hit the energy jet into the man's chest. The man shook like an electric shock. When he opened his eyes, he woke up with electricity.
The black owl said angrily, "who are you and why are you doing this?"
The archer spat blood sputum at the black owl, sneered and said, "you don't want to know anything from me, noble shadow clan elder!"
"Really? Then it seems that I have to use some means." the black owl smiled faintly.
The archer showed disdainful eyes. He was silent, and suddenly his whole body trembled. The black owl's face changed and just pried open his mouth. The archer's mouth is a mouthful of dirty blood flowing out, and the pupils of his eyes have spread. He has taken poison to commit suicide.
Hagen called some people to carry out the bodies of the two killers. As for the room, he couldn't tidy it up for a while and a half, so he simply changed it for zero. In the new room, the black owl stayed, and the others went back to their room to rest. The black owl said in a deep voice, "these two people, one is the shooter of the storm clan, and the other is the soldier of the black hammer. But they are both prisoners and have been removed from the two clans. I didn't expect to appear here and attack you."
"It shouldn't be that simple. I just asked Hagen that the two bottles of wine weren't sent by him, but were stolen. In addition, there are some things in them that can slow people's reaction." zero stalled: "so, this is a game. A game against me."
"That's the problem. This is the control area of our shadow clan. The man was able to send these two people here, and let the black hammer soldier ambush on the first floor of your building in advance. It's not easy to do this, even only the high level of the holy temple can do it." the black owl said calmly.
"It seems that an elder of your holy temple doesn't want me to come."
The black owl snorted, "the lion is ill, and some hyenas and wild dogs come out. They want to take the opportunity to seek some benefits. What a joke!"
Zero was thoughtful. The look of the black owl seemed to have some idea of who planned the attack. But he didn't intend to say it. It seems that the situation of the holy temple is more complicated than he thought. When the door opened, Hagen came in and said in an unconventional and concise way, "pound committed suicide."
"Whose man is he?"
"Black hammer clan."
The black owl pondered, "how long has pound been with you?"
"Almost five years," Hagen replied.
"Have you recruited new people recently?" the black owl shook his head and asked.
"We were short handed a few days ago, so we hired three guys to fight pound..."
"Go and call these people."
Hagen went down at once, and soon he came back. Old sander said calmly, "one is missing. His name is Hess."
The black owl nodded: "he should have killed pound and wanted to frame him. Go and find out the origin of Hess, including his clan and who he had contact with."
"I see, my Lord."
The black owl looked at zero again and said, "take a rest. We still have to go to the holy temple tomorrow. But it is estimated that it will take three or two days to trace Hess. These days are enough for the other party to erase a lot of evidence. So in the end, strength is the most important."
Zero head, after the black owl left, he also went to bed. All night without a word, in the early morning, the black owl knocked at the door. After breakfast, Hagen sent zero a cloak and asked him to put it on. The black owl and zero left the hotel. Because it was morning, there were not many passers-by in the city. Plus the cloak of zero, no one will look at it more unless those who have a heart.
The black owl took zero around the city, and then went out through the west gate. After leaving Hakala, zero asked, "did you try to find something?"
The black owl was surprised and nodded: "you are careful."
Zero opened his hat, smiled and said, "if you just go out of the city, you don't have to go around the city. So I think you deliberately took me to step in the control areas of some clans. Besides, in two or three places, I felt that someone seemed to recognize me at a glance."
"Those clans are the people of Yasuo, Luan and Kaz. The hostility of Luan is the most serious, followed by Kaz and Yasuo." the black owl looked at the direction of the holy mountain: "since they can recognize you at a glance, their superiors must have issued some orders. It seems that the chiefs of these clans don't like you so much."
"I'm not here to please them," said the zero staller.
The black owl smiled and said nothing more. After leaving Hakala city with zero, walk to a stream diverted from the holy lake. Old Hagen was already here early and was asking several people to put a moon boat into the river. The moon boat is a tool to go to the holy mountain through the river. It is made of the logs of ancient trees. Sander craftsmen hollowed out the heart of the tree and made both sides of the ship into a crescent shape.
The two ends of the crescent moon are painted with a falling feather pattern with black pigment, which is the symbol of the shadow family.
There are already two oars on the ship, and a moon boat can take four people. After deducting zero and the black owl, the remaining two places will be filled by two boatmans. They rowed and drove the boat to the foot of the holy mountain.
The streams and rivers flowing from the holy lake fall on this land in a zigzag way. Zero sits in the boat and looks at the banks on both sides. Occasionally, some strange animals unique to the black earth pass by the bank and will cast curious eyes on the boat.
Going to the holy mountain by river will save half a day than walking. So by noon, zero can see the black holy mountain. From a close look, we can see how majestic the mountain is. It rises almost from the ground, and there is a lack of corresponding transition at the foot of the mountain and even between the ground. The steep slope makes the mountain look extremely steep. There are no plants on the mountain, but the black mountains and those natural cracks show red rock layers. Most of these cracks are built with stone steps. However, the cracks are not connected, so the bloody ladder is naturally intermittent.
Between the intermittent steps, a cable is fixed with a steel ring nailed into the stone crack. Mountain climbers can use the cable to go between the steps. However, when you borrow the cable, your feet hang in the air, and a bad one will fall off the mountain. That's no joke. According to the black owl, every year, hundreds of people fall to death at the foot of the mountain in order to climb the holy mountain, which has also become a natural tomb Valley for pilgrims.
Therefore, it is impossible to go to the holy mountain without certain strength.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Between the intermittent steps, a cable is fixed with a steel ring nailed into the stone crack. Mountain climbers can use the cable to go between the steps. However, when you borrow the cable, your feet hang in the air, and a bad one will fall off the mountain. That's no joke. According to the black owl, every year, hundreds of people fall to death at the foot of the mountain in order to climb the holy mountain, which has also become a natural tomb Valley for pilgrims.
Therefore, it is impossible to go to the holy mountain without certain strength.
The feeling of hostility did not disappear until the black owl led them into a hotel, which relieved Alice and others. After all, you are in a place with a population of nearly 10000 and almost everyone is hostile to you. This kind of mental pressure is not easy. The hotel that the black owl led them into is called "dark night", which is one of the "industries" of the shadow clan in Hakala.The hotel is mainly used to entertain members of the shadow clan and several vassal clans. Like several other powerful clans, there are similar hotels and bars in hakalari. These places are not only the foothold for members of their clans to come to Hakala, but also the pattern of division of leather forces. Like this hotel "dark night", with it as the center, almost the whole block is the sphere of influence of the shadow clan.None of the people living in this neighborhood are affiliated members of the shadow clan. They live here, which is much safer."We'll live here today and I'll take you to the holy mountain tomorrow." the black owl said to zero and looked at other humanitarians: "as for you, stay here temporarily during zero's departure. Don't worry, it's safe here if you don't walk around at will."The black owl calls a sander. The Sanders are very short, like dwarfs in the magic world. But they are smart, good at business and talented in making tools. Most of the craftsmen in Hakala are Sanders. The sound clan is attached to the shadow clan and pays certain materials to the shadow clan every year for protection, which is also the way of survival adopted by many small and medium-sized clans in the black earth.The sander in front of him was Hagen. At first glance, he thought he was a human child in his teens, but his face was wrinkled like the bark of an ancient tree in the twilight forest. He rubbed his hands and chattered: "Lord Black owl, it's a great honor for you to come, but these human guests may not be very popular in us. Hagen can only arrange some hidden rooms for them, but you have to tell them not to walk around. Recently, those greedy cordians are always wandering around, and there are lazy nado tramps, which is also a headache. Hagen wants to send more guards Wei, but... ""All right, all right." with the depth of the black owl, it seems that he can't stand the Sandman's wordiness. He interrupted Hagen: "arrange a room for my friends first. As for the rest, I'll let Jess come to you. Talk to him.""Thank you very much." Hagen's old face showed a bright smile, and then shouted into the depths of the hotel: "damn pound, where's your fat pig dead? Come out and help greet the guests. Do you want to make old Hagen tired with so many guests? My legs are so short and the damn stairs are so high. I'll lower them next time I redecorate them!"Zero looked at the black owl, who stood up and made a helpless expression.Next, they were assigned to a room. The pattern of the dark night hotel was like a horseshoe. The lobby was in the middle, and there were high walls and guards on both sides. Of course, the door was open during the day, if there was an attack. Once the door was closed, plus the outer wall up to five meters, it was enough to resist the attack. In fact, most of the buildings in Hakala were occupied With such similar functions, buildings such as the night hotel can be transformed into a small fortress during the war.For the sake of concealment, their rooms are arranged on the inside of the hotel, so it is difficult for people outside the block to find them. On the contrary, the environment of the room is naturally not as good as those facing the block. At least in terms of vision, the latter is much better than those of them.The room with zero score is the best. There is a living room, an independent bedroom and a small balcony. There is an armchair and a low table on the balcony. It is also a kind of enjoyment to sit on the balcony and drink at night.In the evening, people came to the restaurant for dinner. Of course, those sharp blade hunters didn't come to the city. They left zero outside the city. They can hunt some mutant animals to satisfy their hunger, but they are not afraid to starve them.The dinner was very rich, but the dishes on one table were mostly fruits and vegetables. There were only a few plates of roast meat, which didn't sell well. It can be seen that the hotel chefs were not so good at cooking meat food. The black owl explained: "The recipes of Sanders are mainly wild vegetables and fruits, so there is not much meat in the hotel. The chef is not good at this. You can make do with it."I tasted it. The purple green vegetables were mixed with condiments similar to salad dressing. They tasted sour, sweet and delicious. Moreover, these vegetables had a lot of water. The juice had a taste similar to honey and was rich in fiber and various nutrients needed by the human body. The taste was not so bad. Besides, people had eaten too much barbecue on the journey. Now it's lighter My taste is also good.The black owl ate very little. Basically, he only took a few mouthfuls of food to show that he had eaten well. He said to zero, "rest early and we'll leave early tomorrow morning. Your injury?"Zero moved his arm cut by Albert and said with a smile, "it's not in the way.""That's good." the black owl stood up and said "feel free" to the others, so he went back to his room first.A meal lasted nearly an hour, during which the hotel kitchen had to serve food continuously, which made old Hagen complain that human beings could eat too much. Her sad face made people laugh. After dinner, Leah said she would live with moni. It's no problem. Moni's injury has recovered. If anything, she can protect Leah. There's no need to worry about it.When I returned to my room, I saw two bottles of wine made by Sanders on the entry table. There is a note below, with the word "gift" written in crooked human language. Zero smiled, took a bath first, and then came to the small balcony with two bottles of wine. Unscrewing the bottle cap, there was a faint smell of wine. After a little taste, the wine tastes sweet, but the strength of the wine is fierce, which surprised him.He can roughly taste that it is brewed with some kind of fruit, but he doesn't know what other formula is added to this fruit wine. The stamina is very strong. If ordinary people are afraid of drinking a few drinks, they have to lie down. Zero is very novel. You should know that the effect of alcohol on them is almost the same as that of boiled water. As far as I know, asgatri has some special drinks for high-level, and even added psychotropic drugs to make high-level people feel drunk.And those special drinks are enough for an ordinary family to live a full year of food and clothing in asgat.Zero seldom drinks, like less wine that can make him feel drunk. Anyway, he won't leave until tomorrow. He doesn't mind getting drunk alone tonight. After a few more drinks, I felt slightly drunk. This feeling is really novel and wonderful. Wine, like music, seems to circulate among different races. Drunkenness will remind people of things they didn't think of or didn't dare to think about.Like zero now, this slightly drunk feeling made him open the valve of memory, think of what happened in the western continent, and miss Cinderella more. Unconsciously, he had left the continent for several months, and he didn't know where Cinderella was now. In terms of the reproductive cycle of human beings in the new era, if Cinderella wants to, she can even give birth to a new life now.I don't know whether the crystallization between myself and her is a clever boy or a lovely girl? Think of zero, and even outline the image of the child in your mind. That's an image based on the combination of his face and hindrella's. In terms of zero current brain computing power, such a picture is almost the same as reality.When you imagine your child, a smile can't help escaping from the corners of zero's mouth.When he picked up the bottle and planned to take another sip, he was alarmed. The wooden chair he was sitting on was smashed by a sudden arrow! When the strength of the arrow disappeared, it still plunged into the wall, and the arrow feathers at the tail swayed. Zero didn't stay, a tumbling had arrived in the bedroom. When he looked outside the balcony again, his eyes were awe inspiring, and he didn't look drunk.The power behind him suddenly came, and then there was a continuous burst from the ceiling. A tall figure followed the scattered mud ash and sawdust to the zero bed and directly pressed his bed across. Then he roared and ran forward. The killer cut off his head with his hands divided into knives and axes.With a dull hum, a thin golden flame erupted from his eyes. Without changing his posture, he slipped back quickly and crashed directly into the man's arms. Then the shadow of the fist flew, and the dull whistling of the reloaded warhead kept ringing in the small bedroom. Like a storm, zero killed the man who attacked him without the power of backhand.A heavy punch was pumped into the opponent's abdomen, and the reloaded warhead had a random secondary implosion effect. In the thunder storm, a wave of blood rushed out from the man's back, splashing the whole wall with fragments of bones and some internal organs. The other party was hit hard and finally fell down, but he died. Zero then saw that the alien attacking him was covered with gray hair, but there were black hair on his chest, naturally forming an "X" pattern.It was like an ape man, and when he heard the news here, the black owl broke into the house first. Seeing the killer killed by zero, the shadow clan elder asked, "what's going on?"At the end of the speech, zero suddenly shifted and let a strong arrow shot in from the window be nailed directly to the wall. Then there were several arrows chasing zero. Zero and the black owl retreated to the living room and looked at the arrows nailed in a row on the bedroom floor.Alice and others also came one after another. Jin lined up the crowd and said to zero, "Yelu has gone to greet the archer."At zero o'clock, he was very relieved of Yelu. Sure enough, ten minutes later. Yelu came back and caught a man. It was also an alien, tall and thin, with a pale face. It seemed that he was knocked unconscious by Yelu. The girl threw him to the ground. Jin quickly found a chair and tied him tightly. The black owl bounced his hands and released a jet of dark energy from his fingertips.He hit the energy jet into the man's chest. The man shook like an electric shock. When he opened his eyes, he woke up with electricity.The black owl said angrily, "who are you and why are you doing this?"The archer spat blood sputum at the black owl, sneered and said, "you don't want to know anything from me, noble shadow clan elder!""Really? Then it seems that I have to use some means." the black owl smiled faintly.The archer showed disdainful eyes. He was silent, and suddenly his whole body trembled. The black owl's face changed and just pried open his mouth. The archer's mouth is a mouthful of dirty blood flowing out, and the pupils of his eyes have spread. He has taken poison to commit suicide.Hagen called some people to carry out the bodies of the two killers. As for the room, he couldn't tidy it up for a while and a half, so he simply changed it for zero. In the new room, the black owl stayed, and the others went back to their room to rest. The black owl said in a deep voice, "these two people, one is the shooter of the storm clan, and the other is the soldier of the black hammer. But they are both prisoners and have been removed from the two clans. I didn't expect to appear here and attack you.""It shouldn't be that simple. I just asked Hagen that the two bottles of wine weren't sent by him, but were stolen. In addition, there are some things in them that can slow people's reaction." zero stalled: "so, this is a game. A game against me.""That's the problem. This is the control area of our shadow clan. The man was able to send these two people here, and let the black hammer soldier ambush on the first floor of your building in advance. It's not easy to do this, even only the high level of the holy temple can do it." the black owl said calmly."It seems that an elder of your holy temple doesn't want me to come."The black owl snorted, "the lion is ill, and some hyenas and wild dogs come out. They want to take the opportunity to seek some benefits. What a joke!"Zero was thoughtful. The look of the black owl seemed to have some idea of who planned the attack. But he didn't intend to say it. It seems that the situation of the holy temple is more complicated than he thought. When the door opened, Hagen came in and said in an unconventional and concise way, "pound committed suicide.""Whose man is he?""Black hammer clan."The black owl pondered, "how long has pound been with you?""Almost five years," Hagen replied."Have you recruited new people recently?" the black owl shook his head and asked."We were short handed a few days ago, so we hired three guys to fight pound...""Go and call these people."Hagen went down at once, and soon he came back. Old sander said calmly, "one is missing. His name is Hess."The black owl nodded: "he should have killed pound and wanted to frame him. Go and find out the origin of Hess, including his clan and who he had contact with.""I see, my Lord."The black owl looked at zero again and said, "take a rest. We still have to go to the holy temple tomorrow. But it is estimated that it will take three or two days to trace Hess. These days are enough for the other party to erase a lot of evidence. So in the end, strength is the most important."Zero head, after the black owl left, he also went to bed. All night without a word, in the early morning, the black owl knocked at the door. After breakfast, Hagen sent zero a cloak and asked him to put it on. The black owl and zero left the hotel. Because it was morning, there were not many passers-by in the city. Plus the cloak of zero, no one will look at it more unless those who have a heart.The black owl took zero around the city, and then went out through the west gate. After leaving Hakala, zero asked, "did you try to find something?"The black owl was surprised and nodded: "you are careful."Zero opened his hat, smiled and said, "if you just go out of the city, you don't have to go around the city. So I think you deliberately took me to step in the control areas of some clans. Besides, in two or three places, I felt that someone seemed to recognize me at a glance.""Those clans are the people of Yasuo, Luan and Kaz. The hostility of Luan is the most serious, followed by Kaz and Yasuo." the black owl looked at the direction of the holy mountain: "since they can recognize you at a glance, their superiors must have issued some orders. It seems that the chiefs of these clans don't like you so much.""I'm not here to please them," said the zero staller.The black owl smiled and said nothing more. After leaving Hakala city with zero, walk to a stream diverted from the holy lake. Old Hagen was already here early and was asking several people to put a moon boat into the river. The moon boat is a tool to go to the holy mountain through the river. It is made of the logs of ancient trees. Sander craftsmen hollowed out the heart of the tree and made both sides of the ship into a crescent shape.The two ends of the crescent moon are painted with a falling feather pattern with black pigment, which is the symbol of the shadow family.There are already two oars on the ship, and a moon boat can take four people. After deducting zero and the black owl, the remaining two places will be filled by two boatmans. They rowed and drove the boat to the foot of the holy mountain.The streams and rivers flowing from the holy lake fall on this land in a zigzag way. Zero sits in the boat and looks at the banks on both sides. Occasionally, some strange animals unique to the black earth pass by the bank and will cast curious eyes on the boat.Going to the holy mountain by river will save half a day than walking. So by noon, zero can see the black holy mountain. From a close look, we can see how majestic the mountain is. It rises almost from the ground, and there is a lack of corresponding transition at the foot of the mountain and even between the ground. The steep slope makes the mountain look extremely steep. There are no plants on the mountain, but the black mountains and those natural cracks show red rock layers. Most of these cracks are built with stone steps. However, the cracks are not connected, so the bloody ladder is naturally intermittent.Between the intermittent steps, a cable is fixed with a steel ring nailed into the stone crack. Mountain climbers can use the cable to go between the steps. However, when you borrow the cable, your feet hang in the air, and a bad one will fall off the mountain. That's no joke. According to the black owl, every year, hundreds of people fall to death at the foot of the mountain in order to climb the holy mountain, which has also become a natural tomb Valley for pilgrims.Therefore, it is impossible to go to the holy mountain without certain strength.
