The seventh day night after leaving the Falls.

The expedition team stayed at the intersection of snow and wasteland, which was convenient for camping and water collection, making it an ideal resting place for travel.

It was here, when everyone was preparing for dinner today.

Giovanni came to Javik, the hunter guide who was taking care of the big horned deer alone:

"Javik, our agreement should end here, right?"

"I've also inquired about the situation nearby before. This is almost the limit of ordinary people's activities."

"That's right." Javik, who was taking care of the big horned deer, nodded first. He gently rubbed the face of one of the big horned deer with his palm, and then turned around and looked at Giovanni, "People in our field are here.

There are also news that even though the best hunters are, it is difficult to find prey in that kind of place.”

Giovanni nodded when he heard Javik's answer.

Then, naturally take out a small cloth bag from the top pocket:

"Okay, then according to our discussion..."

"The previous deposit has been paid in the Falls City, so the remaining commission..."

Giovanni didn't finish his words.

Javik suddenly interrupted his preparation for paying the remaining commission.

"Mr. Giovanni, I actually think that the payment of the remaining commission can be delayed for another period."

Giovanni didn't react at the first time.

But his face soon became clear and he realized what the hunter guide meant:

"Post...wait! Javik, are you talking about the next journey...?"

At this time, Javik turned around and touched the head of the big horned deer behind him:

"If you continue to go deeper into the north, even if these guys are healthy enough, they still need professional care."

“I think I should be able to continue to play some role.”

"Of course, of course you have..." Giovanni subconsciously wanted to follow Javik's answer, but he quickly shook his head, "No, I don't mean this. I mean...Next

The journey can be very dangerous. Our team cannot guarantee that it will be as safe as the previous itinerary.”

"Javik, are you really going to keep moving forward together?"

Seeing Giovanni's careful look, the hunter guide immediately laughed:

"Hahaha--"

"The life of a hunter is inherently accompanied by danger, not to mention that I am not familiar with the jobs of winter lake hunting. I am actually happy to get a good extra job during the rest of the year."

Faced with the attitude of this hunter guide, Giovanni looked a little excited:

"I, thank you very much!"

“…”

The discussion between Giovanni and Javik is not too loud.

But Ronald was very sensitive to hearing and could still notice the conversation between the two of them from a distance.

In addition to the substance of the conversation with them.

Ronald thought for a few seconds, and then suddenly became interested in Costadt.

After handling the work in two or three times, he turned around and came to the maid:

"You heard the conversation between Costadt, Giovanni and Javik, too?"

The maid nodded immediately:

"Yes, sir."

"Then I have a question." After confirming this, Ronald immediately spoke, "What do you think is the real reason why Javik is willing to continue their contract with Giovanni?"

“…”

Costadt blinked blankly.

Because it was Ronald's inquiry, Costadt thought carefully for four or five seconds, and finally replied in a more conservative tone:

“I think there may be two reasons—”

"First, as Javik said, hunters do have few jobs in winter, and he is certainly quite happy to be able to earn an extra income."

"The second point... I'm not sure about this."

"But is there a possibility that Giovanni's generous statement last night also gave Javik a certain passion for adventure?"

Ronald almost applauded the girl in front of him!

"Great, Costadt!"

"If you can think of this, it means you are improving!"

"In fact, from my perspective, the consideration of income should occupy very little in Javik's mind. After all, hunters like him are not completely disturbed by income issues."

"So...he was more moved by Giovanni's statement last night?"

Costadt thought for two seconds, then nodded as if he had determined something:

"Sir, I seem to understand a little."

“…”

Under the night.

The seven people in the expedition team discussed their concerns with each other.

The mountain looked very far last night.

Today, we are also closer, and we are guarding them to sleep peacefully with the stars in the sky.

This ends with the first week of this journey.

But at present, everything seems to be calm.

...

But the second week of the trip.

It's just now the afternoon of this day.

For this team, the real test that needs to be faced emerges - climbing a mountain.

A few days ago, I was just a towering mountain range that I could see, and at this time I finally came to the expedition team.

They don't need to flip it straight.

But it is not easy to pass through the outside.

Except for the two humanoid monsters, Ronald and Costadt, of course, they would not care about this level of action.

For the rest of the team.

The physical energy consumed by climbing the hillside gradually became so cold that the air that was afraid to breathe, and the mental pressure brought by the harsh environment...

These three points are combined.

It can immediately become a huge weight that directly overwhelms a person.

If it weren't for the members of this expedition team that had been strictly selected, Ronald probably would have been unable to control himself and chose to withdraw in the first hour after going up the mountain.

"Mr. Ronald, how do you feel?"

In this difficult environment, Giovanni, as the leader of the expedition, took the initiative to care about the newly joined Ronald and the others.

The man was not sure about the identity of Ronald and Costadt casters.

Therefore, without understanding the physical condition of the two, Giovanni also pays attention to the situation of the two of them in the team.

So Ronald smiled and waved at Giovanni.

In the other party's surprised gaze, he opened his scarf and revealed his skin color that had not changed due to the cold:

"Costadt and I can handle this kind of weather. Just be careful and pay attention to your safety."

"I really envy you for your body..."

Giovanni seemed to think this was a unique physical quality.

So he shook his head with emotion and continued to focus on the work of flipping through the hillside. After all, although he had the spare time to pay attention to his companions, climbing over the hillside was also a relatively difficult thing.

——What's more, this place is still in the north.

——The climate is extremely harsh.

Then, between about four to five o'clock in the afternoon.

The hunter guide who was still walking at the front of the team suddenly stopped.
Chapter completed!
