Arknights' Lock of Heaven

In fact, Grani didn't mind cooperating with them, and he wasn't after the so-called knight's treasure.

Chlor needs treasure, and so does Big Bob.

Since she didn't need it herself, Lore agreed to share the treasure with Big Bob, who was helping them.

I just don't know why Big Bob is keeping it a secret. Could it be because of what he said when he saw the Reunion Movement...?

Well, if that's the case, there's nothing we can do.

Ugh.

Big Bob looked at his subordinates, feeling utterly helpless.

You guys should at least put in a little more effort...

"Grani!" This can't go on any longer. Big Bob steeled his resolve and said, "You take Chlor and go first!"

"If this drags on, we'll all die here!"

“But…” Grani still hesitated.

"Quick, take Chlor away!" Big Bob swung his hammer, forcing back the surrounding Reunion members, and shouted, "I'm injured, I'll slow you down!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely join you!"

"go!"

Hearing this, Grani roughly understood.

She sighed inwardly, swept her spear horizontally to force back the surrounding Reunion Movement members, and then grabbed Chlor and ran.

Big Bob's towering figure blocked their escape route, and the Reunion Movement members tacitly refrained from splitting up their forces to give chase.

"It's a deal," Grani shouted back as she ran away with Chlor, "Remember to come back and get yours!"

"Hmph," Big Bob snorted, then shouted at them in a booming voice, "Run!"

“They’ve already run away,” a Reunion movement member reminded.

“Your opponent is me!” Big Bob was still shouting, as if Grani and Chlor were still nearby.

"Mr. Bob... will he be alright?"

On the mountain road, an explosion came from behind. Seeing this, Coral asked with concern.

Although they didn't spend much time together, she had a pretty positive impression of Big Bob.

“Perhaps he needs some time to figure it out,” Grani sighed.

It's likely that Rory was still kept in the dark about the atmosphere that had been going on.

As for Big Bob... judging from his stubborn refusal to admit it, he probably never intended to split the treasure equally according to the agreement.

But unexpectedly, he still had a conscience, and his heart was still struggling, which is why he is in this limbo situation now.

If he were truly a bad person, why would he be so conflicted?

Hopefully he'll come to his senses; otherwise, the next time they meet, they'll be enemies.

“Hey Bob, what happened to you…” a warlock teased as he examined Bob’s injuries. “Can’t bear it anymore? Looks like you two got along pretty well before.”

“You have the nerve to say that,” Big Bob rolled his eyes in his helmet. “Your acting was so fake… I bet you’ve already seen through it.”

“I said, if it really doesn’t work out, we can split it with them,” a white-masked man complained. “I think they’re pretty nice people. That little guy named Grani was the first to stand in front of you when you were injured. He really treats you like one of his own.”

"Isn't it necessary to go to such extremes?"

"You still say we're faking it? With how loyal they are to you, would we really lay a hand on them?"

Big Bob remained silent, sitting on the ground bandaging his wounds.

Logically speaking, that's how it should be.

But how can this world reason with people?

I need to take the whole team to Colombia and buy a place where everyone can live. How can I do that without money?

Although he had gotten along well with them before, he had long since learned to bow his head in the face of reality.

Krol needs money to repair the village damaged by bounty hunters and improve the lives of the villagers. She also needs money to travel to Columbia to find a place for her brothers to settle down.

Half the money...who knows if that'll be enough...

In the face of reality, all sentimentality is a joke.

With so many brothers' lives and fortunes on his shoulders, how could he allow himself to act according to his own desires?

Now, they are a movement that everyone hates and condemns; if they take the slightest wrong step, these dozens of people will die with them.

Therefore, faced with Chlor's trust, all he could say was sorry.

I have to make sure they all survive...

For some reason, he thought of the mudstone that had parted ways with him and gone to Letania.

I wonder how they are doing now...

-

“They’ve all gone up the mountain…” Xia Yu gestured for Lion Scorpion to put down the bounty hunter in his hand, and sighed.

We're still too late.

I wonder how things are going up on the mountain now.

Hopefully, by the time I find them, everything will already be over.

To be honest, he and Lion Scorpion had been traveling day and night towards Drip Village, but by the time he found out, even Grani had already been gone for a week.

It's already quite good that we can catch up even if we rush as fast as we can now.

According to the bounty hunters, they only went up the mountain in the morning.

Meanwhile, their leader, the captain, led a group of skeptical men to ambush Skadi.

Of course, Xia Yu scoffed at their naiveté.

Who is Skadi? How could she be ambushed by a group of mercenaries?

Even if they are powerful enough and actually hurt Skadi, and then when Hai Si comes looking for her, do you think it will be the unlucky one?

Skadi is a ruthless character who killed the god of the sea. Don't be fooled by the various insults directed at her in the game; please don't confuse her game strength with her story strength.

Titi is amazing!

But now...

Xia Yu turned to look at Mount Mortica in the distance and sighed.

Such a large mountain range, I have plenty of time to search for it.

Although the plot clearly states that the treasure can only be found by entering the second cave halfway up Mount Morati, who knows where the locals are counting the number of caves?

These are things that ordinary people certainly wouldn't know; only Carol, as the village chief, would know.

But it's good to know that it's halfway up the mountain.

It's better than searching the entire mountain.

A ripple appeared in the Gate of Babylon behind Xia Yu, and more than a dozen bird-shaped familiars flew out from it.

It's impossible to find it bit by bit on your own; that would be too inefficient.

Using familiars is so awesome.

Watching the familiars flying towards Mount Morati with all their might in the distance, Xia Yu felt a surge of gratitude towards Fujimaru Ritsuka and Chaldea.

If it weren't for them, where would I find so many convenient surgical techniques?

Chaldea, officially known as the Human Reason Preservation Agency Phineas Chaldea, is an organization established with funding from various countries.

It is an institute and observation center that brings together researchers from all fields, including magic and science, so that human history can continue long and resiliently.

To observe this world, one cannot see its full picture through magic alone, nor can one fully grasp its entirety through science alone.

This is a secret agency established by various countries to prevent human extinction.

The employees there are mostly elites from various industries, so their knowledge of magic is naturally extensive.

While Fujimaru Ritsuka was being ignored by Gilgamesh and then turned his attention to her, Xia Yu managed to squeeze a lot of money out of Chaldea.

He has basically covered most of the modern magic of Type-Moon. Apart from the special magic passed down by magic families, Xia Yu has included almost everything else.

Every time Fujimaru Ritsuka tries to tease her in a cheeky way, attempting to lure her into their camp, Xia Yu will coldly hang her outside her treehouse, then wait for her junior to come with various magic spells and spirit origins to redeem her.

Xia Yu still remembers how Mashu went from coming to her house with a death wish after learning that her senior had fallen into her hands, to coming back with a helpless expression and various documents to ransom her senior.

After several successful 'transactions', the doctor and Da Vinci tacitly allowed Fujimaru Ritsuka to tease him from time to time, and then he would be hung on a tree waiting for Mashu to come and redeem him.

Through their channels, I also obtained quite a few good things.

After all, saving the world is paramount. What good is all that knowledge if the world is gone?

After all, he wasn't Jin Gu; he didn't have thoughts like, "You've let down Mother, I'm going to kill you."
