The unusual house is now behind you and you are relieved to have passed it. The journey has been exhausting enough for you so far and you think you will never reach your destination. But then the path ends and you look at a mountain rising up in front of you. It reminds you strongly of the Moon Mountain, which you were also able to bypass, and you take in the surrounding air deeply to fill your lungs with oxygen.

There seems to be something unusual about the mountain to you, as the top arches downwards in a strange hole. You smile as you make the comparison with an ice cream scoop, which you place at the summit and break out a piece. Then you shake your head with a grin to get rid of the strange thought.

Your gaze falls on a trader at the foot of the mountain, bored and looking around for customers. You wonder why such merchants set up camp in these remote areas. He seems to keep his goods in a large box that he has placed next to him.

Finally, you notice the narrow and steep path that leads to the top of the mountain.

- Choose section 232 if you want to pay the merchant a visit.

- If, on the other hand, you want to follow the path directly, continue in section 233.
