Of course, you can't necessarily pick one up and say it, but the criteria can be divided into three main categories. Before entering the Delusional Highlands, after entering the Delusional Highlands, and after everything that has happened, leaving the Delusional Highlands. The likelihood of it happening in time was the lowest, and the first and third were similar.
‘The third thing... This is going to be fun.'
As soon as I thought about it, I saw a fresh smile that I didn't even know existed. I'm not sure yet But if what I'm doing is right, and the third time, Your ears will probably tickle until you get out of the Delusional Plateau.
“Bro! We're ready! ”
“Ah.”
After thinking for a while, I heard Ahn Hyun calling me from the front. Everyone was staring at me from their point of view, whether they had finished preparing. The clan members' expressions are subtle, but at the moment I feel like going crazy. Perhaps I was just now looking like a smiling pervert who would have imagined myself.
I quickly cleaned up my face and opened my mouth in a polite, quiet voice. Tran slat ed by jp mt l.c o m
“Hmmm. From now on, we'll enter the Delirium Mountains. ”
“Hehe.”
With a smile on my face, Ansol smiled along with me, smiling at the room. She looks away for a moment, then turns to the mountain of delirium.
“A mountain of delirium. Now, delirium is a modern medical term. It has a lot of meaning, but Hole Plane lets you organize field effects in just one word. ”
“You mean the blackouts? ”
“Yes, that's correct. ”
Tra n s l a te d b y jp m tl .c o m “What about the prize?”
After answering immediately, Yeon-ju closed one eye and sent a wink. When I got that look, I somehow got a sense of what she wanted.
‘Should I buy a potion to boost my energy...? ’
I sighed deeply, and slowly walked toward the leader of the camp.
“A mountain of delirium, a plateau of delusions, a canyon of hallucinations. The scary thing about these three places is that the more you go inside, the more the field overlaps. So you can see that they're all organically connected. ”
“Eh…. ”
Standing next to An-hyun, he glanced at An-sol once and turned his gaze to Kim Han-suh. Then he turned to me again, and his face was filled with anxiety. I knew his heart, so I immediately joined him.
“Compared to the other two, the field effects of the delicate mountain range are quite weak. Some users may look like over-action, but they can control it. If you don't think you can handle it, let me know. We'll get you out of here right away. ”
“Yes…! ”
As if I was comforted by my words, Ahn Hyun replied with a slightly better face.
Soon after, I took the first step, we announced our departure to the Primary Destination, the Delusional Plateau.
*
The Plateau of Delusions is a mountain plateau (surrounded by mountain ranges).). Technically, the mountain of delirium is not one. However, when we arrive at the grasslands, the first mountain we see is called the Delirium Mountain because it looks so majestic that compared to the mountains, it is almost a military class. Of course, it also contributed to the loss of field effects in other places than the mountain ranges surrounding the plateau.
The mountain of delirium was not as grim as the Dark Forest. No, on the contrary.
Every step you take, you hear the sound of crumbling beneath your feet. It's been a long time since we've been beyond the mouth of the mountain. Right now, there are huge trees standing everywhere in front of us, and the leaves falling from the trees were covering the soft ground of the ground.
Tra n s l at ed b y jp m tl.c o m After 30 minutes of climbing up the barren dirt road and out of the shade of the trees, you see the sky bursting open. When I was on the grasslands, I felt a little hot in the sunshine, but now I didn't feel much hot because of the cool blowing breeze.
“Heh! Heh! ”
“Haha...! Haha...!"
The strength of the clans following you seems to be dropping faster than you think, as the fastest march ever. Since Ahn Hyun, a close relative, and Yi Jung, were able to catch their breath, the other clans, other than the classical group, did not need to see the video.
Suddenly, the sighing or groaning of reasons is quite unusual. Even if you can hear An-hyun's exhale a hundred times, the sound of reason does not become a zero-adjustment. I could see the facial expressions of some of the users walking in front of her, even though I wasn't the only one.
“Let's take a break and go. ”
“Huff-puff, huff-puff. I'm alive. ”
“Don't sit down. I'll just take a breath. Don't let the perimeter down. ”
“Ah, yes, yes! ”
My words made me look like there were many hot people, most of whom were trying to sit down. I focused on leaning against the rock bending to the left and feeling a protrusion around the elongation. I was secretly rolling my eyes to make sure I didn't forget the conversation I had with him before climbing the mountain.
Their faces still looked healthy. When I first climbed the mountain, I was secretly insecure because of the field effects, but soon I regained my original confidence that I felt that I could control myself well.
‘The problem is that when you enter the Delusional Plateau, the superimposition of power rises. ’
At some point, it was a moment when I was wondering if I should take the whole panel well. As you tap the surface of the rock, you can feel someone coming at you.
“Hey…. Brother, I have a question. ”
“Huh? What is it? ”
T r a n s la t e d b y jp mt l.c om As I raised my head, there was Kim Hanbyol staring at me with a pale face. She raises her stomach once or twice to clear her breath, then swallows her throat and asks me a question.
“Do monsters appear on the mountain of delirium? ”
“Of course it appears. Why do you ask that all of a sudden? ”
“It's been a while since I've been up here, and I haven't met him. Well, then, can you tell me which monsters are out there? because if you know something about it, you can be prepared in advance for what kind of magic you're going to do. ”
“Ah. A crow? ”
“Yes?”
“Oh, no. You're wrong.”
Immediately, you hear the sound of a high-pitched laughter. I grabbed my cheek and slowly went into the explanation.
Bird monsters appear here. Bizarrely, these monsters make the mountain their living room, and they're called the Black Head Repair. Characteristics include sharp claws, good head, and attempted rapid descent to catch prey or attack. In other words, the crow was just a word some users were comfortable with.
I thought I could understand it because of the verbal explanation, but the clever Kim Hanbyol nodded at once. Seeing her deep in thought, I decided to wait another five minutes, folding my mind about leaving soon.
After taking such a honey-like rest, we began to move again. The mountainside has become more steep as it climbs, and it has traditionally become more frequent to navigate the surrounding features. But I didn't change my path. It was the quickest way to the Delusional Plateau now, and most of all, traces of the expedition that preceded it remained everywhere. If we're lucky, we might find something before we go in.
My current senses were extremely sensitive. I was focusing my magic on my hearing, but I suddenly heard the sound of valleys flowing as I climbed up one heel. As I climbed the steep path along the sound, I felt the slope again. It was a moment when 200 meters were advanced.
“Pause. ”
In a much flatter terrain than the terrain I just walked in, I raised my hand to stop the clans from walking.
“Soo-hyun, what's wrong? ”
T r a ns la ted by jpm t l.c o m “Go on, come here for a second. ”
As I said, she immediately blurted, looking at the direction I was pointing. Wherever my fingers pointed, there were several traces split in two.
“Hmmm... It's broken.”
“One went up like this, and the other went around. ”
“This is a little vague. Why don't we just go upstairs? At this rate anyway, we should be arriving at the Delusional Highlands in an hour or two. ”
“Well, wait a minute. ”
Like the classicist said, it didn't matter where I went. However, I turned my head to Anzor just in case. Now that I'm familiar with the situation, she takes my gaze and gives me a slightly contemplative look, then looks to the right. I immediately turned around in the direction she was looking.
“Let's bypass it. ”
*
After deciding to bypass, we marched along a semi-circular curved mountain path. However, the more I went, the more I felt strange. Until now, the air that was fresh and fresh was getting wet and sticky.
The cleared trees and bushes were becoming less and less common, and the soil that was gently trampled became harder and harder. However, the trail continues.
It was then that I was so focused on exploring the trail for a while that I suddenly stopped walking in front of it, not matching the surrounding landscape.
“Yeah. What's that? ”
“Flowers…. It looks like it.”
I sent a silent signal to Ahn Hyun and Yi Jeong, who were discussing their stories in childhood, and I looked carefully there. It was definitely strange. About 70 meters in front of you, the flowers were sprawling. The problem was that flowers were not blooming, but that the trunks were piling up in droves. Like someone was deliberately gathering flowers in that place.
‘There must be a reason Ansol asked me to come here.... Orientation or anxiety? ’
Since I sent the signal, only a rat's silence has flowed among the group. I bend my hand slightly forward to send a signal. With the sound of killing as much noise as possible behind us, we begin to move forward slowly.
I can't feel anything living around me. But what is this strange air flow around here?
I took a cautious step forward, not a quick one, as I've been up so far. However, nothing happened despite coming to the place where the flowers were gathered. In case you were wondering, I looked around with my naked eye and opened my mouth.
“Let's start walking the flowers. ”
“Yes.”
An-hyun stepped forward with my instructions and began to remove the flowers with a spear. An-hyun, who removed the flower with a few swings, suddenly narrowed his eyebrows and looked closely inside, said, "Huff.” I quickly retreated with the sound.
“Tongue, brother. Inside..."
“Soo-hyun, wait a minute. ”
At the end of his remarks, some dark shadows sweep across the ground and scatter all the remaining piles of flowers. And then, as soon as I saw it revealed beneath the pile of flowers, I heard clan members breathing rapidly.
However, when I looked at it carefully, something was hiding in the pile of flowers, and I shot up flashing inter-word light. I used my reflective magic to resist the light, and I was able to identify the object that was shining.
It was a fix, not a communication fix, but a record fix. And I could see a completely rotten corpse holding its crystal sphere in my heart.
“Found a body. Ugh. I tried to check the trail, but the corpse is pretty badly damaged. ”
“Well, for now... ”
At the words of Yeon-ryong, I bent my waist and picked up a crystal ball, and I closed the answer by opening the abdomen that had been folded in half.
“You'd better take a look at this, wouldn't you? ”
I immediately conjured the crystal sphere. Then, the screen that was twisted for a while became fixed as one, and a middle-aged man and his bass voice flowed out.
(I don't know if I'll ever find this crystal ball. However, if someone were to discover this, I must ask one thing of you, despite your confusion. Please take this crystal ball to the southern city of Monica.)
“ ……. ”
(Ah, I'll tell you first of all about old age. We recommend that you take a moment to look around. If the place where you found this crystal sphere is still in the middle of the gloomy mountain of delirium... Well, there's a good chance of that. Haha. Ah. Are you a Rescue Party? A Rescue Party, or a user on an expedition? For now….)
I brought the crystal ball closer. On the screen, there was a man wearing thick gloves lying on a tree. And when I analyzed the very, very small topography that I saw behind the screen, I realized that it was very similar to this place.
One thing to note was that the man on the screen was bleeding a few blood clots from his mouth. After three coughs, he spoke with difficulty.
(Head straight down this damn mountain. Right now, don't look back. Come on!)
