Decision from Diana, we will help those who are affected there, at least just to make sure that the Mountain Nation wouldn't be controlled by the Meddling Third Party

"They're after all, a tribe of mountain people that advocate peace more than anything else, and as such, I believe it's our win that we help them no matter what" [Diana]

"That's indeed the case, but sneaking inside the country will prove as difficult as sneaking into The Holy Palace. After all, during the war of the Demon Kingdom succession, they are one of the few countries that were basically untouched by both The First and The Second traitorous prince faction" [Aries]

"Makes you wonder how they succumbed now" [Farhah]

"Sometimes, brute force win over other methods" [Rean]

"Nicely said. We need to scout ahead of their numbers first and foremost before joining the resistance group" [Sachmis]

"I believe we can use the connection made by orphanage now itself" [Long hair girl]

Taking her phone out, the long hair girl simply made a phone call, and what do you know

"Brother Ash! Princess Diana! And you guys!" [Lizard orphans]

One of the lizard beastman from Kiserre's orphanage, surprise to see us together with the long hair girl

We were all surprised by the fact that they're able to use the phone to call someone from the mountain dungeon. As far as we know, they aren't any communication stones being set up here

"Do you plant any communication stones around here?" [Qis]

"We did, albeit it's a hard journey, plus, keeping it a secret might actually be harder" [Rabbit beastman]

"Surprisingly, the devil magic core were efficient as a substitute" [Elf girl]

"And so far we didn't encounter any sort of problem" [Dwarf trader]

"Gosh, Mira and Khamishah must be extra proud of you" [Ash]

"Indeed, even I feel proud of them, knowing we have a reliable siblings across Achalasia" [Rean]

Apparently, they have been setting traps here and there just to traps small and weak rank devils, but just because they're labelled as weak, doesn't mean they aren't any risk. Typical zombies or goblins will be far stronger and cunning when they are converted into a devil, and as such, they're basically risking their life with this project of them

"I see. You use the numerous number of devil to your advantage, thus, even with low grade magic core, you are able to achieve satisfactory results" [Kara]

"Plus, devils are basically around, so you don't even need that much effort to disguise the communication stones" [Lara]

"Even us thought of those communication stones as nothing more than a defective magic core of the devils" [Nara]

"And yet it wasn't. The range might me weaker, but as long as it works" [Elise]

"Interesting. I did remember our experiments back then with the Communication stones, but to think you guys manage to make the theory into practice just show how clever you guys are" [Charlotte]

"Oh please, we aren't anywhere near your level. If anything, we are just glad we were able to attend the school" [Long hair girl]

Not only Rean and the other, those whom I rarely met also shown a surprising growth, and something that I wholeheartedly welcome. It's nice seeing they are all carrying the spirit of Orphanages, helping one another in time of easiness, or in time of dire need. Each of them taking part and contribute in area of their expertise, be it from science and technology to economic to political science and also in art and combat.

"Understood. We will try to get in touch with the resistance group" [Lizard orphans]

"Great, in the meantime, we will try to reach there as fast as we could" [Diana]

"Please, be careful all of you" [Zerolith]

"To all of you as well" [Lizard orphans]

"Should there be emergency, just call them straight, I'll coming rushing to your side" [Ash]

"Noted" [Lizard orphans]

And we end our call. The communication between us reminded me of the early phase of telephone development, where we get a static like images and sounds, but looking at how they're setting the line in secret, that even Diana herself is unaware of is pretty damn amazing

"Can we connect it to Serpie?" [Charlotte]

"If you like, please do so" [Long hair girl]

"But we are still unable to get signal from Serpie itself" [Savel]

"I guess Charlotte should do it when any opportunity arouses. As of now, it's in our best interest to move" [Muse]

"Agree" [Karon]

"With Serpie mentioned about the unknown barrier, I don't think we can get through Serpie anytime soon" [Alaric]

"You guys can park the mini camper van golem of yours inside my item box. Just share the ride together with us" [Ash]

"There is some space left after all" [Linda]

And they gladly take the offer. It's becoming a bit more cramps than last time, but if it means that I could ensure their safety, than it's something that is worth the hassle. Heck, I don't even mind it so long as I can ensure their safety. They might be adults now, but the fact that they were once under the care of the orphanage will remain and as such, as the Director of the Orphanage, it's my duty to ensure their safety

We keep traveling through the main middle road of the Mountain Dungeon. I'm sure if it weren't for the camper van golem, our journey across the mountain dungeon will be at least twice as long, and that's a generous guess. Couple with how the devils and the Doppelganger keep attacking us, and it actually make delay our journey by about two days.

"This is still fast, that's if you compare it to more traditional methods of traveling" [Sachmis]

"That, I have to agree" [Aries]

And thus, we arrive at the First Floor of The Mountain Dungeon, Mountain Nation side. The temperature is on the lower side, but not as low as the Ice Dungeon. We uses our adaptability magic to make ourselves warm, and keep on sipping hot tea/chocolate/coffee to warm ourselves. We even eat some hot pau or noodles as it's simply the perfect temperature to do so

"There they are!" [Long hair girl]

I recognize those who are approaching us. They're without a doubt, the orphans from different orphanages, all grown up, and together with them, is the resistance group that's trying to free their country from the influence of the Meddling third party
