Chapter 469: Chapter 465: The Third Encounter with Mountain Woman (Two-in-One)_2 Chapter 469: Chapter 465: The Third Encounter with Mountain Woman (Two-in-One)_2 Goway once said that the Mountain Woman only saw those she wanted to see; otherwise, your calls would have no effect.
In fact, after returning from Sleeping Valley, Roger had also thought about looking for the Mountain Woman, but regretfully, despite several attempts, he had not received any response.
It was strange; it seed he didn’t need to speak for the Mountain Woman to already know the questions he wanted to ask, then reject him indirectly in this way?
But this ti was different, not to ntion the world that might be connected behind the shattered Shadow Gate, even just considering Anna, Roger wanted to explore.
He had to do sothing, otherwise, one day, if Lilith suddenly burst through the broken Shadow Gate into his world, that would really be a spectacle.
“You an that Bamboo Whistle.”
Henrik finally understood Roger’s purpose and couldn’t help but sigh, “I don’t have it on ; I put it in a box by my bedside in the room. You can go and look for it yourself.”
At this mont, Claudia’s shouting voice ca from the phone, and Henrik hurriedly left a ssage before hanging up.
“Take care.”
Roger curled his lip; he certainly wasn’t planning any flesh trade when going to see the Mountain Woman. The night passed quickly, and not long after the sun ca up, Roger quietly left the manor and slipped into the nearby forest.
To et the Mountain Woman during the day, and if still planning to make a flesh trade with her, tsk tsk, that scene must be quite stimulating.
The Bamboo Whistle emitted a series of bird calls that were very faint but carried far and wide; however, after waiting for a long ti in the forest, Roger didn’t get any reply.
He moved forward, continuing to blow on the Bamboo Whistle.
Again and again, gradually, clear cracks began to form on the whistle.
Just as the energy was about to run out, a sigh ca from the woods.
“You know I don’t want to see you, so why do you still do this?”
Roger turned around; he walked through the lush trees, and at the end of his sight, a cabin appeared.
A strange-looking woman stood at the door, hunched over with a crooked back, her clothes tattered and skin sagging.
“I have questions I want to ask you.”
“But why should I answer you?” the Mountain Woman said, her throat letting out a laugh like that of a pigeon.
Roger did not answer the question, “I’ve always been wondering, how exactly do you respond to people’s calls in the forest?”
“This ability doesn’t seem strong, but the covered range is large enough. I’ve asked many people, and even attributing it to racial instincts seems a bit far-fetched.”
“Until yesterday, I saw sothing special.”
“Shadows.”
Roger looked at the Mountain Woman.
“Are you a Shadow creature?”
“That beautiful body is your true form, existing within the Shadow World.”
The Mountain Woman lifted her head, a flash of surprise crossing her ugly face, “To be able to say these words, it seems you really have discovered sothing.”
Roger was originally just guessing, but seeing the expression on the Mountain Woman’s face, he too was surprised.
“If your true form exists within the Shadow World, then what am I seeing now?”
“What’s so strange about that?”
The Mountain Woman cracked a toothless grin, “If there’s a shadow, there must be light and shadow; there’s nothing strange about it.”
“What you’re looking at now is simply my shadow, a shadow projected into reality.”
The Mountain Woman didn’t avoid anything.
“Even if you have figured out my origin, it doesn’t seem I have any obligation to help you,” she said, scrutinizing Roger.
“You look handso and strong, though perhaps not as interesting as your friend, but maybe you’d make a decent companion.”
Hearing this, Roger couldn’t help but shiver; he quickly waved his hands, “Let’s not, let’s just have a good talk.”
“There must be a way to satisfy us both.”
The Mountain Woman giggled, her gaze piercingly strong; Roger stood there feeling as though he had been thoroughly scanned by her eyes several tis.
But he also knew that the Mountain Woman was just joking with him, and he quickly adjusted his mood, “We need to talk seriously.”
“I might be able to help you with your current predicant.”
Roger felt an idea begin to unfold.
“The area you can truly access is limited; the forest is just a prerequisite, the real you is trapped in a piece of the Shadow World, you can’t leave there.”
“You can only interfere with reality through the shadows, then use it to make contact with the outside world.”
Roger thought about his previous two experiences and so of the things Henrik had ntioned to him.
“Sunlight or food, everything you perceive and see is just like a bubble to you.”
“Even the last ti you were intimate with Henrik, you couldn’t truly experience it.”
“Am I right?”
The Mountain Woman remained silent.
After a while, she nodded slowly, “You’re not wrong, but why should I believe you can help ?”
“The Shadow World has already shattered, forming countless fragnts, with no doors; nobody can leave there.”
“You guessed it, I can’t escape this place, but likewise, you can’t enter here.”
“So, you can’t help .”
She shook her head.
“Hope is a ray of light, but it is a disaster for a shadow.”
“Don’t be too quick to refuse . I previously found a door, and the world behind it, but I ca to you today because I’ve found another door there!”
Roger spoke calmly.
“That’s impossible!”
“Every Shadow Fragnt is fixed; there’s no such thing as a door that suddenly appears!”
The Mountain Woman scoffed, seemingly questioning the credibility of Roger’s statent.
“Besides that broken door, I’m also trying to get a piece of the Shadow Gate!”
Roger described the fragnt held by the Black Soul, and this ti, the Mountain Woman’s expression went through a dramatic change.
“Could this be true?”
She murmured softly.
“You fool, don’t be smitten by his appearance, a man like him is definitely a con artist specializing in deceiving won. I think you just want to possess his body.”
“You shaless *****! Give control of the body, and let drive him away!”
A stream of curses ca from the hump on the Mountain Woman’s back.
“But what if what he’s saying is true?”
The Mountain Woman stopped in her tracks.
“How many years has it been since we last tasted food, and how many years have you been without truly possessing a man’s body?! Damn it, don’t say you don’t want to!”
“The last ti, the bamboo whistle was sothing you left for that man. Even if you couldn’t experience it, you still wanted to try a few more tis, didn’t you?”
“I just find that guy interesting,” the face on the hump defended.
“Then just listen to !” the Mountain Woman raised her voice.
“How will we know without trying?”
“This might be our only chance!”
She looked up at Roger, “Next ti, after you find the piece of the Shadow Gate, co find in the forest!”
“Only when I see that thing will I rest assured. Tell , what do you want to do for you?”
The Mountain Woman stared at Roger like a hungry beast eyeing a piece of delicious at.
Roger narrated the situation briefly, omitting so key points and nas.
“In fact, what you’ve found is not a door, but a passage. Your request is simple: when you find that piece of the Shadow Gate, even if it doesn’t belong to that door, I can help you find a way into the world behind it.”
“But before that, I need you to help , to rescue from this damned cage!”
Roger wasn’t sure how many years the Mountain Woman had been imprisoned, but it was a considerable amount of ti.
“It’s a deal!”
Roger nodded.
An agreent was reached, and he left the forest with the repaired whistle from the Mountain Woman.
anwhile, on a street in so area of Engelman, Gawain’s composed and nonchalant figure appeared.
“Poor Lancelot, you can’t just sink into despair; I still need you to do sothing important for .”
Gawain murmured to himself.
