Chapter 31 Climbing to the top
Taking out the Phantom Crystal meter, Raymond recorded the beautiful scenery of the sunset sea of clouds.
Seeing Jessica stunned, Raymond walked up and patted Jessica on the shoulder: "What are you doing?" "What else can I do? I want to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea of clouds." Jessica angrily patted Raymond's hand off.
"Okay, stop looking. It's dark now. We need to find a camping place to set up the tent. Besides, we have to continue walking towards the top of the mountain. We will see such a scenery these days."
"Raymond, you are such a big wood. We went out to climb the mountain, just to relax and enjoy the scenery of the journey? You just thought about going to the top of the mountain. The scenery there must be as good as it is when you reach the top of the mountain?" Jessica complained about Raymond. But it was indeed a bit late now, and Jessica reluctantly helped Raymond set up a tent.
However, the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional, but Jessica's complaint made Raymond think a lot. His current mentality is still the same as when he went on a trip during the Golden Week in his previous life. At that time, because of traveling to a popular attraction, it was difficult to move forward with crowds of people around him. Traveling was like doing a task - to go to the destination, and then take a lot of photos and take a look at each friend after he came back. It seemed that the trip was just to take photos for others to see and let others know where you have been.
"NND, live again, I have to enjoy my life!" Raymond thought viciously. However, at this time, Raymond relaxed, and it didn't matter whether he could reach the top of the mountain in the end, as long as he was happy.
Raymond, who was in a relaxed mood, hummed softly: "The blue sky is floating in white clouds,..."
"Raymond! Did you feel lazy when you see me helping you? You are still humming there." Seeing that Raymond, who was a little nervous just now, suddenly hummed happily after coming to help. Jessica seriously suspected that Raymond just wanted him to be lazy just now.

After passing through the sea of clouds, without the barrier of water vapor, the top of Mount Abbas became clearly visible. This change also made Raymond and Jessica more motivated.
However, without the obstruction of clouds, the sunlight shone directly onto the top of the mountain, and the climate here became a bit dry. Raymond and his friends had to drink some water after walking a few steps. If Raymond hadn't been the water magician, the drinking water for the two of them would have been gone long ago. Not only did they drink water, Raymond also often had to make some ice hockeys to cool down Jessica.
"Jessica hold on, and we will be able to reach the top of the mountain in more than an hour." Raymond encouraged Jessica.
"If I had known that this place was so dry, I wouldn't have come. Look, my skin has become so dry." Jessica said, putting her hands in front of Raymond's eyes and swaying constantly.
Raymond smiled and patted his hand aside, "Jessica, you are a third-level warrior. How could your body that practices fighting spirit become dry after being sun-dried?"
"How can you boys understand girls' concern for their skin?"
······
One hour later.
"Ah~~~" Raymond shouted, "I finally got on top. Jessica, you can shout it too, it's very good." Raymond excitedly motivated Jessica.
"Ah~" Jessica couldn't resist Raymond's encouragement and shouted, and suddenly felt much more refreshed. "Huh? Why didn't there be an echo? Didn't you say there would be an echo when shouting in the mountains?" Jessica asked curiously.
"The echo is to be blocked by other mountains around it. Now there are no other mountains around Mount Abbas, so there will be no echoes."
After so many days of hard work, Raymond and Jessica finally achieved their goal and reached the top of Mount Abbas. Looking back on the experiences in the past few days, they have suffered, been tired and had a lot of happiness. All of these are precious memories. However, the scenery on the top of the mountain is indeed not very good.
Looking around, because the sea of clouds blocks you can basically see nothing near you, but looking far away, you can see those small towns. However, because there are some small towns near Mount Abbas, all of them are ordinary houses, and from the top of the mountain, they are just small squares, which are not considered a scenery at all.
"Raymond, are we camping on the top of the mountain today?" Jessica asked after turning around and found it meaningless.
"Of course not. The temperature at the top of the mountain is low at night, not to mention the wind is very strong, and there is no place to block the wind. If you camp here again at night, you will definitely be frozen to death." Raymond said exaggeratedly, "Let's rest at the top of the mountain first, and then go down the mountain to find a camping place below."
"After walking for so many days, our goal has been achieved, I suddenly feel a little empty." Jessica said with some loss when she heard that she was about to go down the mountain.
Raymond, who was standing beside him, noticed Jessica's condition and sat gently beside Jessica.
Raymond naturally held one of Jessica's hands and comforted her, "Don't think too much about Jessica. Isn't this the way traveling? We arrived at a place and left. Although we won't leave anything, we will take away good memories. The experience along the way is our best harvest."
"Yeah!" Jessica nodded gently, but a hint of blush suddenly appeared on her cheeks.
"Jessica, you're so beautiful." Raymond said seriously.
"Raymond, what are you talking nonsense~" Jessica tried to pull her hand out but failed.
Raymond wrapped Jessica's hand with both hands and looked into her eyes: "Jessica, I like you! We have known each other for more than three years, and I have always had a good impression of you. After these days of being alone, I finally mustered up the courage to say this to you."
"No, no. We are still young and can't do that kind of shy thing. Mom said she wanted to grow up..." Jessica said shyly with her other hand covering her cheek.
"I'll go! What's the rhythm?" Jessica's words instantly knocked Raymond away from the romantic atmosphere he created. Originally, Raymond had a good impression of Jessica, and after getting along these days, he felt that he should confess his love to the little loli, leaving the girl by his side first to further cultivate the relationship between the two.
This idea originally made Raymond, who was actually aged 25 or 26, start to despise him. Suddenly, Jessica's words confused him... Are all the children on the Dawn Continent so precocious? Still a "shy thing"? This should be something that a thirteen-year-old child knows?
Even though he was confused, the trace of guilt in Raymond's heart disappeared at this time. He stretched out his hand and knocked hard on Jessica's forehead, "Jessica, what are you thinking about in your little head?"
Jessica rubbed her forehead that was hit by the pain with her hands and said shyly: "Raymond, I, I like you too." After saying this, Jessica suddenly had the strength to pull her hand out of Raymond and ran down the mountain. As a soldier, Jessica's strength is much stronger than Raymond. The reason why she failed to pull her hand out just now was that her hand was suddenly grabbed by Raymond and was shy.
"Hey! Jessica, don't run away! Your stuff is still here!"
