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 these privacy-related questions, and he was not the kind of person who would ask questions that went too far.

After temporarily burying his doubts in his heart, Luo Mu changed the subject: "We are going to climb the highest peak of Shuangmo 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 under the cover of night, because Hunter J is very likely to start his operation under the cover of night. But it is undoubtedly a pipe dream for us, a group of unprofessional climbers, to climb the highest peak of Frost Mountain under the cover of night, so we need to find a suitable person to help."

"Although you are undoubtedly an expert in combat, please follow my instructions regarding these trivial matters."

Lila's attitude was very sincere and she spoke very directly without any beating around the bush, and Luo Mu had no objection to this.

After all, the temperature in Frost Mountain is too low. As a Pokémon with dragon and flying attributes, Dragonite is not really adapted to this icy and snowy environment.

If Lila had any solution, Luo Mu wouldn't mind letting Dragonite rest in the Poké Ball for a while. Facing the vehicle that Hunter J was very likely to carry, among the six main Pokémon, only Dragonite could pose a threat to it and easily touch the opponent.

Luo Mu nodded and said, "Then you can arrange it. There is still half a day until midnight. What preparations should we make now?"

Lila stood up straight, her fitted suit outlining her perfect body curves.

Looking at Luo Mu, Lila said sternly: "We are going to the town to find someone. If we want to reach the top of Frost Mountain in the fastest way, he is indispensable."

Outside a house in Icebox Town, the police officer who was pushed out of the door shouted towards the inside of 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 it was because the police officers were annoyed or what, but a voice finally came from the house.

"You know, my partner is not in good condition right now. It's impossible for me to follow you to climb the highest peak of Frost Mountain."

"We have medical staff accompanying us who can take care of her for a while. Please."

"No, I can't let it go."

After replying this, no matter how the police officers tried to persuade him, the door was closed and there was no more movement in the house.

This was the scene that Luo Mu, who had just arrived with Lila, saw.

"Buddy, report the current situation."

Lila took a few steps forward and spoke.

"Senior Lila!" The police officer, whom he called Buddy, was stunned at first, and then he saw Lila's happy expression behind him and said quickly: "It's like this, no matter how I persuade Mr. Trump, he is unwilling to go out."

"Is that so?" Lila pondered for a moment, looked at Luo Mu who was looking over his shoulder in confusion, and said, "Let me briefly tell you the details first."

Luo Mu withdrew his gaze and nodded.

Lila said calmly, "The owner of this house is called Trang, an experienced ranger. His wife has been bedridden due to unexplained weakness. In order to take care of her, Trang refused our request for assistance."

Luo Mu stroked his chin and asked, "Ranger is a special profession that is trained by the Ranger Alliance in Firai, Almia and Oblibya, right? I remember their philosophy is to protect the wild environment, combat poaching, etc. How could such a person 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, "Yes." "That only means that his concern for his wife outweighs his sense of responsibility. This is something we cannot interfere with."

Luo Mu observed the surrounding environment and saw that the snow at the door of the house had been cleared very cleanly, and plants that were tolerant to cold climates were planted nearby, which showed that the owner of the house must be a hardworking person who loved life.

Considering Tran's identity as a ranger, the climbing method Lila prepared was obvious.

She must have wanted Trang to use the ranger's exclusive item, the "Hunting Cursor", on the wild Pokémon living on the Frost-Swept Mountains. Many wild Pokémon have the strength and ability to climb to the top of the mountain.

Thinking of this, Luo Mu had doubts in his mind, and he couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it 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 leading the way."

“If I can, I’d like to try my best.”

After that, Lila straightened her appearance, adjusted the position of her tie, and went forward to knock on the door.

I don’t know what she said to the people in the room, but soon a man with gray hair opened the door and let them in.

Before entering the house, Lila motioned for Buddy and Luo Mu to follow. Buddy was startled and quickly followed.

Luo Mu glanced at the snow not far away, where a candle burning with purple flame was buried and burning slowly.

It seemed like there was no candle over 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 and make plans.

Inside the room, a pale old woman was lying on the bed, with people standing around the bed.

The matches in the fireplace were burning brightly, keeping the temperature in the house within a suitable range.

"I see. Is it that the vitality is weakening for unknown reasons? May I ask if you have any ghost-type Pokémon, especially those that have just been born a while ago?"

"If we can't find a specific illness, it's possible that his energy was absorbed by ghost-type Pokémon for a long time, which is why he fell into a coma."

After learning the diagnosis from the doctor she called, Lila thought for a while and asked.

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."

"what"

Buddy sighed in disappointment. Doesn't this mean that the clue is interrupted again?
Just when they were at a loss, Luo Mu suddenly said, "Mr. Terang, can I ask a slightly rude question?"

Only then did Tran notice that Luo Mu was younger than the rookie police officer Buddy. After a slight hesitation, Tran suddenly realized that neither Lila, who looked like a leader, nor Buddy had any intention of interrupting.

Perhaps, the identity of this young man is not simple.

After thinking about it, Tran nodded and said, "Go ahead and ask."
