Struggle in the Steam Age - Chapter 712
This is an area made up of tall and steep mountains, so that all people approaching here have to adapt to use an unbearable snail speed to travel on steep mountain roads.
In addition, this place is also a restricted area for most flying creatures. The turbulence formed by the surrounding abrupt mountains and the unstable space conditions in the mountains are enough to cause a deadly threat to a powerful creature like a dragon.
At the same time, because of the unstable space, some expensive and rare magic materials are produced in this area. Therefore, there are still some simple bridges and narrow passages excavated in the stone walls for people to walk on at relatively low altitudes.
For Lawrence and Nora who came here in search of all kinds of information, the terrain of the area was already terrible, and the surrounding plants made the situation even worse.
“Can we really fly up, or use space to teleport or something–”
After using the dissociation technique to get rid of two dark treants who had completely lost their minds and exuded the stench of the lower planes, Lawrence sat on a small platform and asked Nora.
“Sorry, it’s not possible at this point.” The little doll shook his head helplessly and said. “The space in this area is too unstable, and the farther away from the ground, the greater the degree of instability.”
“In this case, even for me, the only way to go to high places is to advance with my feet instead of flying.” She said that Nora shook her feet very humanely.
This is a month after they decided to take the risk. After searching various evidences in the surrounding area of tens of thousands of square kilometers and briefly summarizing it, they finally determined that the last area that the elite team entered that year was this area. The surrounding creatures are called the area of Death Mountain.
“I find it strange.” Lawrence asked Nara while sitting on this small platform to rest. “You said that since the elite of those temples wanted to hide something, why did they leave so many traces along the way?”
This is a problem that Lawrence has always felt puzzling, because they collected a lot of information from many places along the way, as if there was a hand that took them to this place actively.
“I think it may be that the priests of the year felt that their gods might return.” After thinking for a while, Nora answered this question from the perspective of the gods.
“You have to know that there are many ways for gods to resurrect, and the return of fallen old gods has surpassed double digits in history. It is not worthy of a big book.”
“However, the main **** of the ancient Nile **** system should have completely fallen. Judging from the information obtained before, in that war, although he finally prevented the corruption of the lower plane from spreading further, he also let himself Has been irreversibly polluted.”
“So at the last moment, that respectable **** and several other gods of the gods chose to sacrifice themselves and eliminate the impact of that crisis as much as possible by burning themselves thoroughly.”
“This is why the Nile River basin is barren and full of dangers, but it is still an important reason for the survival of intelligent creatures, because the sacrifices of those gods completely destroyed the activity of the lower planes and purified most of the land. .”
“This kind of self-destruction is irreversible, and it will never be resurrected.” At this point, Nora showed admiration on her face.
“But for the faithful believers of the gods, it is also a very common phenomenon not to believe that their gods have fallen. So when the team fled back then, it is understandable to leave a variety of messages to show the way for latecomers.
“And my dear brother, the information can actually be said to be very hidden, and it is not as easy to be discovered as we thought.” At this point, Nara stared at Lawrence’s eyes.
“As for the reason we were able to discover the information so quickly, it was because with the fall of the gods and the disappearance of the church, some secret information belonging to the church spread to the outside and was obtained by us.”
“Even from another point of view, if it were not for us to contact this group of jackals who have completely disappeared from the eyes of the world, it might be impossible to connect those clues together and realize this.”
“You are right.” Lawrence nodded in agreement with this statement.
In this world, even the gods cannot do omniscience and omnipotence. If their followers do not know certain things, then these gods are basically impossible to know.
Therefore, it can be said that after the ancient Nile **** system completely collapsed, most of the history disappeared thousands of years in the human world. Lawrence and the others are the first to regain these information.
After resting for a few minutes, the two put away the kettle and dry food and continued to walk up the mountain. Fortunately, as they are getting higher and higher, the probability of encountering those nasty wild races is getting smaller.
Due to the many magical materials and dangerous mountains that are special in this area, the surrounding wild tribes often come here to collect various items or conduct warrior trials and other rituals.
Therefore, in those low-altitude areas, two people can often meet the wilderness races that come to try.
Obviously, kobolds and goblins have strong xenophobia and incommunicable problems, so on the way, Lawrence and Nora had to use some violent means to kill them all the way.
Fortunately, as the altitude increases, the low temperature is obviously unfriendly to reptiles like kobolds, and the second half of the journey naturally seems a lot cleaner.
As Lawrence and them continue to climb upward, the surrounding environment has also changed. From the first tropical rain forest to temperate broad-leaved forest, and then further into bushes, alpine meadows and a barren ice field.
But unlike ordinary icefields, the ice here is all black, and the surrounding temperature is much lower than normal. Gives a very strong sense of depression.
“No wonder they call this place Death Mountain.” Lawrence whispered to Nora after feeling a trace of death power from the surrounding area. “This obviously didn’t happen naturally.”
“This place has nothing to do with God, I can confirm this.” After recalling some of the information she had collected before, Nora said categorically.
“However, there are too many phenomena related to the transcendence in this world, and the power that causes these phenomena is no less than the power of the gods. So I am not sure about the current situation.”
“Then is this place dangerous?” Lawrence stopped and took a few breaths. UU read www.uukahnshu.com and asked curiously, looking at the surroundings. “I feel like something is staring at us around.”
“I don’t know, but the energy flowing around it makes people feel a little uneasy.” Nora said after closing her eyes and feeling the surrounding situation.
“So it’s more appropriate for us to be prepared for battle. It’s easy to hide danger in this kind of place.”
The fact is just as the little doll perceives, when two people entered this ice-covered area, many certain elemental monsters composed of this black ice block immediately rushed towards them frantically.
Fortunately, although those monsters have absolute numerical advantages, they are obviously far behind Lawrence in terms of transcendent level. So Lawrence and Nora can naturally blaze a trail to move on.
Also in this place, the traces left by the members of the previous Amon-Ra Church have reached the point of undisguised. At intervals, Lawrence could see fingertip-sized gold badges embedded in a piece of ice.
These golden golden badges are so conspicuous in this place, anyone who can follow the mountain road to this place will not ignore their existence.
