Chapter 2416 Light of the Lighthouse
The clothes worn by Bimoye and others are warmer and cold-resistant. Due to the sudden change in the environment, the temperature is generally very low. It is not too cold to walk here, but it is still freezing. Hands and feet are cold.
It can be seen from the green grass frozen under the ice that this place was not covered by ice and snow before. It was also because of the sudden drop in temperature that the land was frozen. They turned around half a circle here and finally figured out where they were.
They are about halfway up a certain peak in a mountain range. Standing on the edge of the mountain and looking down, you can barely see that there is forest covering the bottom. As you go up, the trees quickly become less and less, and the ball of light hits the sky. In the sky, all that can be seen is bare snowy rocks.
"Our current altitude is estimated to be several thousand meters, but everything that happened has guided us to climb higher." The axe-wielding dwarf ran forward and found a frozen road: "We Just follow this path.”
There are many traces of previous settlements on the mountain peak. They saw more than one dilapidated village and town, including some huts standing on the hillside, prayer altars built on the hill, and some small stone houses with dwarf specifications. People in those days lived here for a long time, and there are traces of life everywhere on Xuefeng.
Follow the obscure icy mountain road to a dangerous stone tower at the end. The stone tower looks still strong. There should be a warehouse for stacking miscellaneous wood under the tower. The door of the tower is dilapidated, but the inside is still sheltered from the wind. The tower has five floors. The top of the tower is a watch lighthouse structure. Some of the arrangements on it can emit strong light at night.
Ke'er found a metal lamp holder for a searchlight in the tower, and several people carried it to the top of the tower. They took out some scattered crystal stones they carried with them and embedded them in various devices on the top of the tower.
"I don't know if it works. Give it a try." Avro injected magic power into the surrounding ring-shaped lighthouse device. Although two places were not lit, the whole thing lit up. The beam of light from each crystal hits the bottom of the metal lamp holder, and the lamp holder emits bright light, making the tall lighthouse look like a bright pearl in the dark.
There is a mechanism under the lamp holder, which can control the direction of its illumination and shrink the beam. It is a perfect way to get a glimpse of the surrounding terrain. Otherwise, I don’t know how long it will take to explore it just by sketching it in the dark and remembering it.
The light shines on one side of the bottomless cliff, and all that can be seen is the vast cold mist. On the other side are the high mountains, which are not only steep, but also extremely cold. However, this side of the mountain has been carved into a layered structure like terraces. There are villages on each level, and there are even cliff pastures built on the edge of the cliff that should be used to raise blue sheep.
The beam of light hits the highest point, and the top of the mountain cannot be seen, only snowflakes are flying, and the scene is vast.
"Hey, wait, come back, what do you think that is?" The direction of the beam was adjusted according to the direction pointed by Mio. There was a huge cave halfway up the stairs. This cave was different from what they had seen before. The entrance to the cave was very solemnly decorated, and the tall sculptures on both sides showed its extraordinaryness.
At this moment, the hammer-wielding dwarf noticed that under the vaulted ceiling above his head there were arrows pointing to the southeast, northwest and northwest, surrounded by a simple map: "Look, we should be at the location of the arrows now."< br>
Delma pointed and said: "This map is the distribution map of all the villages and towns on the cliff. The southeast line is the direction we come out of the cave. The northwest to north line has no end, indicating that this road goes to There are still things in the north.”
"What is the mark of the animal head in the picture?"
"Looking at the direction, it is the huge hole we saw." Bimoye said.
“We’re going to a strange place!”
“Don’t worry, let’s draw the map first. Who brought a pen and paper?” Avro took out the pen and paper and handed it to More than Moye.
After drawing the map, the group of people stopped looking for the mountain road and jumped directly over the mountain. After climbing several hundred meters, they reached the first floor where the giant cave was located. However, as soon as they reached this floor, they felt an extremely deep cold that penetrated their bones and hearts. Several people were shivering from the cold.
"Holy shit, no, it's so cold. Do you have any fire crystals? Can anyone give me two to keep me warm?" Delma couldn't bear the cold, and her nose was stuffed up for a moment. He froze, and the whole person was huddled together, unable to move forward.
Bimoye rummaged through his pockets, backpack and his not-wide space: "There are still more than a dozen crystals, and only two fire-type ones."
Others gathered together At the same time, there are only nine fire crystals in total, and the quality may be good or bad. One level 0 crystal with poor quality is definitely not enough for one person to keep warm.
The dwarf said: "No, no, let's go down first. We can't stay on this floor."
Mio also said: "The crystal slot in my leather armor is broken, so I can't light up the crystal for warmth."
A few people discussed it and decided to go back to the lower level first.
Going back to the next floor, the chill was significantly lessened, and it became less cold again after going to the next floor.
The axe-wielding dwarf said: "There are so many abandoned villages and towns here, and it is also a mining area. There must be crystal stones. We will definitely find them if we go to the villages to look for them."
"Yes, Bimoye Your magic power is strong and you can withstand it , I and others must find crystal stones to keep warm, otherwise we will freeze to death if we continue to go up." Delma had already embedded two level 0 fire crystal stones into the card embeds in his clothes, and the temperature they emitted during operation made him feel uncomfortable. I feel much more comfortable, but I still feel cold. Level 0 crystals have limited warmth, and this small crystal cannot withstand the severe cold around them. Even if there are not many good level 2 crystals, I dare not use them casually. What if they are used later?
Bimoye said: "I can't stand it if I keep using magic power to keep warm."
They have not entered the village or town to search just now, mainly because this place has been abandoned for a long time, and all the wooden structures in the village are rotten. Besides, the village and town were so gloomy that I was afraid that I would encounter more troubles and mishaps, so I didn’t enter the village. Now I can’t do it anymore. When they searched the Nitoushan Fortress before, they found nothing useful. If they could find the fire magic crystal here, they would only be disappointed.
The villages and towns are in a mess. Although the brick walls are now covered with ice and snow, they were exposed to wind and sun before. To say that people in the whole place left in a hurry, it was not the kind of rush that suddenly changed the situation and people fled for their lives in a hurry. But unlike other local villages and towns, the population is slowly declining. The evacuation here should be organized and orderly, otherwise Nishan Fortress would not be so clean.
I searched several villages, towns and individual houses, but didn’t find much. The only thing I found was a silver coin dug out from under the ice. This silver coin was circulated about 800 to 600 years ago. It is a coin minted during the period of Yeshan III of the Yeshan Kingdom. The Yeshan Kingdom is a dwarf kingdom and was recognized by these two dwarves at a glance. But this silver coin has little reference value. Although the coins of Yeshan III have not been minted for a long time, they are still circulating in the world. Most coins from all over the world have unified casting specifications. Even if they were coins from different countries hundreds of years ago, their essential proportions of precious metals are exactly the same, but the carvings are different, which does not affect world circulation. Even if the enemy country does not use the other country's currency, it can be exchanged for other countries' currencies at the bank.
