Kapitel 434: CDXXXIV. Serpent Mountain

"How many caves are more or less on this mountain?" a fourth voice from behind asked.

"Master Egill, good morning. I don't know, but I think about ten" Skaldr replied, bowing his head down slightly, greeting Egill with respect.

The Master Of Healing, who had heard the whole conversation, approached them thoughtfully and after processing that information, said: "A separate delegation from ours will follow us from afar. Four of you Hunters Of Ullr will guide our men, so you can hide them until they are needed. A dozen of our soldiers will come with you to ensure the physical support you need. You said Serpent Mountain is next to the forest, didn't you?" Egill asked again.

"Yes, it is... why?" 

"Because in this way you will be able to keep yourself at a distance and stay hidden, taking advantage of the vegetation, which, unlike the white snow, can offer you shelter more easily" Egill continued, stroking his beard.
