Chapter 137 Ranger
However, Lila seemed to have no intention of introducing her identity and background, and Luo Mu was not in a position to ask her about these privacy-related questions, and he was not the kind of person who asked questions.
After temporarily burying his doubts in his heart, Luo Mu changed the topic: "We are going to climb the highest peak of Frost Mountain in the early morning, right?"
Lila paused while counting the necessary equipment, and nodded slightly: "Yes, we have to climb the highest peak of Padiya in the dark, because Hunter J is very likely to take action at night. But it is undoubtedly a pipe dream for our group of unprofessional climbers to climb the highest peak of Frost Mountain in the dark, so we need to find a suitable person to help."
"Although you are undoubtedly an expert in combat, please follow my arrangements for these trivial matters."
Lila's attitude was very sincere, and she spoke very directly without any twists and turns, and Luo Mu had no objection to this.
After all, the temperature of Frost Mountain was too low, and Dragonite, as a Pokémon with dragon and flying attributes, was not really adapted to this icy environment.
If Lila had any ideas, Luo Mu wouldn't mind letting Dragonite rest in the Poké Ball for a while. Facing the vehicle that Hunter J was most likely to carry, only Dragonite among the six main Pokémon could threaten it and easily reach it.
Luo Mu nodded and said, "Then you can arrange it. There is still half a day before dawn. What preparations should we make now?"
Lila stood up straight, and her fitted suit outlined her perfect body curves.
Looking at Luo Mu, Lila said sternly, ".We are going to find someone in the town. If we want to climb to the top of Frost Mountain in the fastest way, he is indispensable."
Outside a house in the icebox town, the police officer who was pushed out of the door shouted to the house.
"Old man, we really need your help!"
There was no response from the house, but the police officer was very persistent and stayed in front of the door for a long time.
I don't know if he was annoyed by the police officer's noise, or what happened, but a voice finally came from the house.
"You know, my wife is in a very bad condition now. I can't follow you to climb the highest peak of Frost Mountain."
"We have accompanying medical staff who can take care of her for you for a while. Please."
"No, I can't let it go."
After replying this sentence, no matter how the police officer persuaded, the door was closed and there was no movement in the house.
This is the scene that Luo Mu, who had just arrived with Lila, saw.
"Buddy, report the current situation."
Lila stepped forward and said.
"Senior Lila!" The police officer, whom he called Buddy, was stunned at first, and saw Lila behind him showing a happy expression, and hurriedly said: "It's like this, no matter how I persuade Mr. Trang, the other party is unwilling to go out."
"Is that so?" Lila pondered for a while, looked at Luo Mu who was puzzled, and said: "Let me briefly tell you the specific situation first."
Luo Mu retracted his gaze and nodded.
Lila said calmly: "The owner of this house is called Trang, an experienced ranger, and his wife has been bedridden due to unexplained weakness recently. In order to take care of her, Trang refused our request for assistance."
Luo Mu touched his chin and asked: "The ranger is a special profession that was trained in the ranger alliance in Firai, Almia and Oblibya, right? I remember their philosophy is to maintain the wild environment, combat poaching, etc. Such a person would actually refuse a request for assistance. You should have told him the content of the mission, right?"
Lila looked at Buddy, who nodded vigorously and replied: "I did."
"That only means that his concern for his wife outweighs his sense of responsibility, which is indeed something we cannot interfere with."
Luo Mu observed the surrounding environment and saw that the snow at the door of the house was cleaned up very cleanly, and there were plants that were tolerant to cold climates nearby, indicating that the owner of the house must be a diligent person who loves life.
Considering Trang's identity as a ranger, Lila's prepared climbing method is already obvious.
She must want Trang to use the ranger's exclusive tool "Hunting Cursor" on the wild Pokémon living on the Frost Mountain. Many wild Pokémon have the strength and ability to climb to the top.
Thinking of this, doubts came to Luo Mu's mind, and he couldn't help but ask doubtfully: "It should be a feasible method to temporarily capture a few wild Pokémon with Poké Balls and then release them back?"
Lila nodded slightly and said, "This is also one of the backup plans, but it will definitely be safer to have an experienced ranger lead."
"If I can, I would like to try my best."
After that, Lila tidied her instrument, adjusted the position of her tie, and went forward to knock on the door.
I don't know what she said to the room, and soon a man with gray hair opened the door and let several people in.
Before entering the house, Lila motioned Buddy and Luo Mu to follow. Buddy was stunned and quickly followed.
And Luo Mu looked at the snow not far away. A candle burning with purple flames was buried there and slowly burned.
It seems that there was no such candle there just now?
Some inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, but due to the lack of key information, Luo Mu could only enter the house first and then make plans.
Inside the house, a pale old woman was lying on the bed, and there were many people standing beside the bed.
The matches in the fireplace in the house were burning vigorously, keeping the temperature in the house within a suitable range.
"I see, is the vitality weakened for unknown reasons? May I ask if you have any ghost-type Pokémon, especially those that have just been born for a while?"
"If you can't find a specific disease, it is also possible that the spirit has been absorbed by the ghost-type Pokémon for a long time, so it will fall into a coma."
After learning the diagnosis from the doctor, Lila asked after thinking for a while.
Trang tried to recall for a while and shook his head: "No, at least in my memory, she has neither adopted a ghost-type Pokémon nor had the opportunity to come into contact with ghost-type Pokémon."
"Ah"
Buddy sighed in disappointment. Isn't this a clue interrupted again?
Just when several people were at a loss, Luo Mu suddenly said: "Mr. Trang, can I ask a slightly rude question?"
Trang noticed that Luo Mu was younger than Buddy, a rookie police officer. After a little hesitation, Trang suddenly realized that neither Lila, who looked like a leader, nor Buddy meant to interrupt.
Perhaps, the identity of this young man is not simple.
After thinking about it, Tran nodded and said, "Go ahead and ask."
