Chapter 599: Mana Backtracking
That afternoon, Roland was ready to go to the snowy mountains. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
These include camping tents, plenty of dry rations, and a concrete paddle steamer. Since the Devil's camp was on the seaward side, he had to set out from the shallows - as was customary, the transport was left to hummingbirds.
It has to be said that when the hummingbird, which is the size of Nanawa, grabs the side of the ship and lifts the whole cement boat above her head in one go, the scene looks very strange, like an ant moving a grain of rice several times larger than herself - if she blocks the boat to her side, when she looks from the other side, she can see a "ghost ship" sliding silently on the land.
As long as her hands don't leave the ship, she can stay in this state, which is much faster and less expensive than the initial time spent removing the weight of the object. The only flaw is that the hummingbird must follow the enchanted object and therefore carry up to two items at the same time.
The paddle steamer headed west along the ridge and arrived at the rocky beach two days later.
The last time Roland had seen the land from a bird's-eye view from the Far Lookout, and now that he stepped on the rocky beach for the first time, he immediately felt a sense of desolation.
The scenery here is completely different from the shoal, and the short road of dozens of miles is like two worlds.
The rocky beach is littered with the remains of various animals, embedded in layers of rubble, some weathered and others gradually turning into new stones. Some of the bones appear to be very thick, almost the size of an adult's torso, and it is unknown what creature left them.
The steep rock walls are also bizarre.
I saw countless sharp stalagmites growing on the surface of the rock, different from the natural hanging shape in the cave, they were all picked out horizontally, and the ends were upturned, at first glance they looked like countless barbs. This kind of gravity-defying landscape is simply incredible, and the last time he saw it on a balloon, once he was on this rocky beach, it only made him feel creepy.
There was not a single sign of life on the long beachhead, no seabirds, no algae or mussels, and even behind the stone walls, there was an empty space, as if the devil's red mist had robbed it of all life.
According to the mark left by Lian, Roland and his party found the slit that led to the camp. It's more of a fault than a slit, with a slender opening that splits almost the entire cliff and is bottomless. It was between this steep breach that the lotus extended a narrow path half a meter wide.
As she walked down the stone steps into the "first line of heaven", the nightingale couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"What's wrong?" Roland couldn't help but ask.
"Look there," she said, pointing deeper into the crevice, "there's a hole in the rock wall!"
The team stopped and looked around, and near the pitch black at the bottom, Roland saw several circular holes, as if they had been carved out of something. "What is this?"
"I don't know, I've seen holes like this in the mountains of Desperate Realm, but the ones are bigger," she hesitated, "and the deeper I went underground, the more I felt that something was looking at me." ”
"Yes...... Something?" Roland was stunned.
"There is more than one," Nightingale nodded, "just between the valley that leads to the Mutual Aid camp, where there is a path that leads deeper into the earth, but I have never gone down. ”
"When Sylvie returns, take her on a trip to the Desperate Mountains," he glanced at the bottom of the fault twice, resisting the urge to send someone to climb down to investigate, and then let the team move on.
Although this continent is part of the Dawn Realm, where human settlement has been recorded thousands of years ago, the perception of the world remains in a very primitive state, as if people have deliberately neglected to expand outward. Roland had mentioned the map of the continent to Agatha, but was told that the Federation had only depicted the Fertile Plains in detail, and that the Dawn Realm had only a rough outline, and that nothing was known about the outside of the Dawn Realm.
That's why he decided to support Thunder's overseas quest - Roland thought he would find out the whole world sooner or later, but now he found that he didn't even know much about the western realm of the Grey Keep.
Unfortunately, the war with the church was imminent, and he could only put these distractions behind him for the time being.
Through the slit, the vision suddenly cleared. The soldiers of the First Army, who had set up camp here, immediately welcomed the group into the camp, and Roland saw Agatha and Zoroa.
"What about the lightning girls?"
"She's flying around with Asha," Agatha sighed, "she can't stop these days, and the Devil's Camp is almost her playground." ”
"In the future, this will definitely be a national natural park that requires you to pay for a ticket to enter," he said.
"What did you say?"
"No...... It's nothing," Roland coughed twice, "I'll call her back with the listening sigil, but now let's go and see where you found the collapse of the stone tower." ”
When the group reached the center of the camp ruins, Lightning, Maisie, and Asha also arrived.
"Lightning, about to land!"
The blonde girl raised her hands flat, slowly floated to the ground, and then turned around and gave Roland a full hug.
Roland couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, according to his age, lightning has also reached that special age stage.
"Whew!" Then came Maisie, who also had her wings raised and slammed her head on the ground, almost knocking off the Asa on her back.
Lightning was understandable, but Maisie was already an adult witch, and Roland thought helplessly, it seemed that this disease was contagious.
"Since we're all here, let's get started," he gestured to Axia, whose legs were weak.
"Yes...... Your Majesty. Asha limped to the edge of the pit and closed her eyes.
In an instant, the large crater on the ground suddenly disappeared, and a huge black stone tower appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and at the same time, a red mist filled the air, viscous as thick as blood.
Roland subconsciously took a step back while holding his breath.
"This was the scene before the catastrophe was about to happen, twenty-six days ago," Agatha explained, "If we had only used the backtracking ability once, Asha would have been able to maintain the illusion for nearly half an hour, so we would have been able to observe the whole story. ”
"What about the eye-catching demon you're talking about, which can catch the devil's attention just by looking at it?" asked Tilly, curious.
"At the top of this tower," Agatha pointed overhead, "but the tower is beyond the range of Asha's abilities, so it can't be seen for the time being. ”
Roland looked up, only to see that the top of the tower was blank, as if it had been completely slashed - it seemed that only within five meters of Asha could it be reproduced by magic.
At that moment, the ground seemed to tremble.
"It's coming!" said Agatha, in a deep voice.
