The Emperor's Daily Nitpicking
Chapter 23
The crumpled piece of parchment rolled around outside the door, and then was covered by the corner of the wall, completely invisible.
Sitting in front of the desk, Oswald rubbed his temples heavily, and the little energy he had raised just now suddenly dissipated.The long-term lack of sleep left him in a state of deep irritability, mixed with an indescribable exhaustion and mental numbness, as if a huge matter fell before him, and he couldn't bear to deal with it. interest.
White Eagle is aware of current affairs, and it deeply feels that the person in front of it is surrounded by a layer of low air pressure, and it may catch someone and tear him up at any time, so after completing the task of delivering the letter, it immediately rolled off the table, scrambling. Lie on the ground to rest.
When people are extremely tired, their thinking is always jumping and wandering.Oswald supported his head, flipped through the military newspaper two pages ago, and glanced at the still dark night outside the window. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the former Parsons Manor.
As soon as a few fragmentary pictures were turned around, the drowsiness returned——
It seemed to be an afternoon in late spring. It was raining a lot outside those few days, with a few muffled thunders of late spring, rumbling over from a distance.
The teahouse on the second floor of the Parson Manor had half of the windows blocked by the broad-leaved privet tree, so the lighting was not very good, and the whole room seemed dark and very dim in rainy days.
Oswald sat on the chair beside the bed, with a volume of books in his hand, but kept his eyes on the garden path outside the window.The path stretches straight forward, which is the iron carved gate.
The old butler Ian coughed, cleared his throat, entered the room and said sternly: "Master, it is not a good habit to be in a daze while clutching a book, you will be punished."
The young Oswald pursed his lips and turned his head, asking, "Isn't that bastard coming today?"
The decree lines on Ian's face became deeper, "A polite gentleman should not call others like that. Your Excellency Fassbender received the legion transfer order yesterday, and the spring break ended a week earlier, and he has already left for the capital of Wangcheng. At that time, you The fever hasn't subsided, so I didn't tell you."
After Oswald heard it, he was thankful for a while, and he was relieved that he could practice a few silly fighting skills less.But then, he felt a little dull disappointment.
He couldn't say exactly what he was disappointed with.
He only thought that although Fassbender was a bastard, he was at least much more interesting than those servants.The manor finally gained a little popularity, but now it's gone again, and the silence is a bit boring.
He stared at the carved gate at the end of the garden for a while, then turned to Ian and asked, "Then will he come for spring break next year?"
Ian thought for a while, shook his head and said truthfully: "Generally, only the first year in the legion has a complete spring break. This is a recruit's benefit. He probably won't be able to come next year."
What about the next year?
He wanted to ask, but the answer should be the same...
Another muffled thunder rolled past, and before he could escape from the slight disappointment, the scenery in front of him flickered, the glass window in front of him turned into a wall, and two steps forward, there was a half-opened window. The door, a few maids are hiding and chatting inside.
He vaguely heard one of them lower his voice and say: "Have you never heard the reason why master doesn't like young master?"
The other person gave a "shh", and said softly: "Didn't you find that the longer he looks like Master Keno, the less he looks like?"
"He doesn't look like a lady either."
"Madam has been seriously ill for several years, and she is so thin that she is out of shape. Can you see what she looks like?"
"It is."
Oswald stood motionless by the wall, wishing neither to move forward, to hear better, nor to retreat.
Just when the maids were about to continue guessing and discussing, a hand was placed on Oswald's shoulder, and he patted it gently: "Master, you haven't read today's book, so you can't be lazy."
It was Ian's voice, but he turned his head and found that the person standing in front of him was Kevin.
He felt that he was growing taller like a plant, and his sight changed from looking up to looking down and then looking down slightly.
And Kevin patted the cowhide bag on his waist, and said with a relaxed face: "I'm going to the tomb of the gods, and I'll be back soon."
Then he turned around and ran into a thicket of thorns, nimbly splitting a path among the branches.Just when he turned his head and waved his hand at Oswald and said, "See, I'll say I'm more than enough alone", a thorny thorny branch suddenly sprang up for no reason, and stabbed him in the blink of an eye. Into Kevin's heart.
Kevin's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he fell back silently with blood foaming...
"you--"
Oswald's hand supporting his chin twitched suddenly, as if he accidentally stepped on the empty steps, and he woke up suddenly.
He lowered his eyes and stared at the parchment map on his desk that was soaked in water for a long time before letting out a silent breath.
The hourglass on the corner of the table is only a thin layer shallower, it hasn't been too long since he was startled by the white eagle just now, but all his drowsiness has been swept away by a few miscellaneous clips just now Clean, no need to sleep anymore.
He rubbed his cheeks to wake himself up more thoroughly.Then he got up and picked up the cloak and copper wire mask hanging on the side, planning to go to the hospital.
The young emperor strode out of the door of the study, and the guards patrolling outside immediately "slapped" their feet together, and were about to follow in a hurry. Unexpectedly, he had just taken two steps, and the emperor in front of him stopped suddenly. He lowered his head to look for what.
The guard almost didn't stop and slammed into it, patting his heart against the wall: Fuck, I'm scared to death!
"What do you need, Your Majesty? I'll help you." The guard asked cautiously.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Oswald raised his hand and waved, saying, "No, I saw it."
He bent down and picked up a small ball of parchment from the wall, unfolded it and snorted coldly after looking at it, as if he sneered at the contents of the ball, but the next second he stuffed the ball into his pocket again .
The guard was subconsciously curious: "What is this, Your Majesty?"
Oswald walked away without looking back, and threw out two words: "Trash."
guard:"……"
What are you doing with garbage in your pocket?
On the other side of the map, at the foot of Baitou Mountain, Kevin and the others had nothing to say all night, and they got into the military tent early to rest.Although the few people who were in charge of taking turns on night duty kept worrying, the overall life was fairly stable.
As soon as the sky was a little bright in the morning, everyone packed up their things under Kevin's instructions and prepared to go on the road again.
"Don't lead the vultures, let them wait in the woods first." Kevin said lightly, "Even if they fly on this mountain wall, they won't be able to fly up. If they fall, they will be a piece of cake."
Everyone: "..." Ancestor, can you stop talking?
Kevin said again: "There is no need for so many people to go up together, some of them are left here to guard and respond, and watch the vultures so that they don't starve to death."
Everyone who was still green-faced just now became normal again, and it seemed that none of them wanted to retreat here.
"Honestly..." Kevin leaned on the mountain wall, folded his arms, and said seriously: "Don't think that staying here is a cold-blooded battle, it's not enough for a man. Soldiers have their own division of labor, and there must be a few people here. If you don’t open your mouth, I’ll just order it directly.”
After he finished speaking, he scanned around, and seeing that no one took the initiative, he raised his hand and ordered five people to come out.
The faces of these five people have been paler than others since yesterday. It is obvious that they are really afraid of heights, and there is no need to follow up and suffer.
"Although it's unlikely, if we don't come down from the mountain for a week, we can go back and talk to Ao... Tell His Majesty to think of another way." Kevin thought about it and asked, after all, he brought a group of people in, everything It's not easy to say too much.
Those who planned to go up the mountain quickly packed up.
Kevin untied the dagger pinned to his waist, pulled his thumb out of its sheath, and held it in his hand for climbing later.
Standing next to him, the little lion class couldn't help asking: "Why can't we go around and go up? Is the Yongsheng Waterfall nested on the top of the mountain? But aren't all waterfalls hanging down?"
In fact, other people also want to ask this question, but because of his old face, they can't ask it, so they can only count on a child who has something to say.
Kevin tried to chisel the mountain wall twice with a short knife, touched the blade again, and said: "You will know when you go up, but now you have said that you will be weak."
Everyone: "..." Are your words more lethal? !
The Paektu Hill looks straight up and down, and it's not really that there is no road.When you really climb up, there is still a place where you can put your hands and feet.
Kevin took the lead alone, with a very tough rope tied around his waist, and everyone behind him was tied one by one.From a distance, this group of people looks like a winding centipede climbing on the mountain wall.
"Just look at the rocks you're holding, and don't look back." When Kevin climbed up, he still had time to tell others to pay attention. His voice was deep and steady, and he didn't even breathe.To him, the straight and towering mountain walls are like walking on flat ground.
If he was the only one, then he would climb faster, because he knew that this mountain was not suitable for staying for a long time.The longer you spend here, the easier it is to encounter troublesome things.
But because there was still a string clinking behind him, he had to control his speed, and when he felt the rope around his waist getting tighter and straighter, he stopped and waited until they caught up again before continuing.
Behind him is the little lion class, this little cub is heartless and doesn't think too much.The overall level of the people behind was about the same, and the ropes tied to each other did not appear to be straightened for a while and then bent back. So at first, they didn't feel that there was a lot of difference between themselves and Kevin.
When climbing a mountain, especially when climbing such a tough mountain, time seems to pass very slowly.Obviously, it feels like a century has passed, but I still can't see the top of the mountain.
The speed of the crowd slowed down significantly, and each limb seemed to be filled with lead.The palms were covered with dust and gravel, and they were not so stable when grasping on the raised stones. They had to grasp twice before they dared to lift their feet. Once they came and went, the rhythm of the whole team became a little chaotic.
"It's coming soon, I can already see the top of the mountain." Kevin thought about it, and turned to encourage him.
Looking back from his angle, the black heads are almost directly attached to his feet, and further down is the abyss, the whole person seems to be hanging in the sky without any support, as if a random gust of wind can sweep them all away go down.
But the height was tolerable for him, so he just glanced at the foot of the mountain that he could not see for a long time with an indifferent expression, then looked away, and said to others: "Don't look back, we have already climbed two-thirds of the way. This mountain looks high, but it’s actually only about a thousand meters, so if you think about it, the distance of about a thousand meters is not too long.”
Everyone: "..."
It's better for this ancestor not to speak.
However, if two-thirds of the total amount of a thousand meters is planed, there are only a few hundred meters left, and it will indeed feel better to imagine it as flat ground.
only……
Is the lead guy a fucking monster? !Why is it that we can't wait to be exhausted, but he can still talk without blushing and panting, even if he talks, damn he dares to turn around!
A group of elite military officers, large and small, finally felt the injustice of God belatedly—how could the gap between people be so large? !Why is there such a wonderful thing as Fassbinder!
Kevin scrambled forward a little further, and didn't stop again until the rope between him and Ben straightened again.Only this time, instead of turning back to speak without changing his expression, he put his ear against the mountain wall and listened for a while with his breath held.
There was a vague "Xi Xi Suo Suo" friction sound, which came along the hard mountain wall and stone veins. It sounded as if there was something moving in the mountain.
Fortunately, the others paid almost all their attention to the hands and feet that were almost unconscious, so no one noticed this kind of creepy sound.
Kevin listened for a while, raised his head with a frown, and his calm and relaxed expression finally showed signs of tension.
So, you still have to hurry up when climbing the broken mountain...
He sighed in his heart, but he didn't turn around and urge the others to hurry up a little bit, because urging didn't really have much effect.
"After a while, you may see some messy things falling from the top of your head." Kevin's tone was still calm, as if he was explaining a very ordinary thing, "Don't worry, just keep crawling on you, but you have to avoid it a little bit." Take a moment, don't climb here with great difficulty, and be smashed back to the original place with a dull head."
Hearing what he said at the beginning, everyone first thought that it was a falling rock in the mountains. Apart from sighing a few times, they didn't really think it was too scary.Until they heard some voices suddenly coming from an unknown distance above their heads.
The voice was very weird, the tone was like a human voice but it was vague, and the content could not be heard clearly.
If I have to describe it, it's like a group of people whose tongues have been pulled out get together and communicate by shouting, but no one can understand what they are shouting.
Why is there such a sound on the top of the mountain? !
Everyone thought about it carefully, only to feel that their scalps were a little numb.
"The world is so big, we have to calmly accept the existence of various ethnic groups." Kevin's voice came from the top of his head, and the pervert still had the time to make a joke at this time, "Even if you are ugly, you can't discriminate against people."
Everyone: "..."
Kevin held the stone in one hand and chiseled in the mountain wall with a short knife in the other. He lay quietly on the stone surface, squinting at the layer of milky white mist hanging on the top of the mountain, like a bird clinging to the mountain wall. The snake, waiting for the opportunity to move.
Suddenly, I saw some black silhouettes appearing one after another in the milky white mist.
Kevin tensed up: Here we come!
Almost in the blink of an eye, those black shadows in the fog jumped down at an extremely fast speed.They seemed to have suction cups on their hands and feet. They jumped from top to bottom without rolling directly to the foot of the mountain. They came face to face with Kevin in two steps.
What Kevin said just now is not a joke, these things are really ugly.
There is almost no "neck" transition between their huge heads and bodies, as if they are carrying an old pumpkin on their shoulders.The upper body is almost skinny, even the ribs are clearly defined, but there is a round belly that seems to be inflated, and then there are two legs that are as thin as dry branches, with thin feet that seem to be broken if pinched.
In fact, Kevin really raised his hand to squeeze it.
The skin on these monsters is like the bark of hundreds of years old trees. When they are pinched and exploded, they will make a crackling sound when they step on dead leaves, which sounds indescribably disgusting.
They are fast and strong, and when their dead wood-like fingers touch people, they can stick firmly. When they are pulled and pulled, people climbing on the mountain will be easily pulled straight down. The foot of the mountain fell into a puddle of meat.
Kevin held the short handle of the knife that was cut deep into the rock with one hand, and hooked the monster's legs and feet with the other hand like a gust of wind. When the monster was about to grab his arm, he made a sharp "click" Break its bones, and then shake it off without hesitation.
Those seven or eight monsters rushed over one after another. Kevin grabbed another mountain wall with his empty hands, and pulled out the short knife that had been chiseled into the mountain wall in a blink of an eye.
The monster's huge belly is probably the softest part of its body. Kevin's blade is sharp, and he can cut a piece alive with a single stroke like cutting tofu.
Before the cold hairs that had just stood up on the people who were climbing the mountain below were subdued, they heard a scream a few miles above their heads, howling so loudly that it hurt the eardrums a little.
Immediately afterwards, one by one black shadows fell from both sides like money, the speed was so fast that everyone was overwhelmed.
The officer at the very end couldn't help but chased after the falling black shadow, and his calf twitched—not to mention the terrifying face of the monster's old tree bark, and the almost endless abyss under his feet made him feel even worse. People are terrified.
He suddenly withdrew his gaze, stared at the stone wall that was close at hand, and said silently several times, "If you can't look back, you will arrive, if you can't look back, you will arrive", the heart that was about to jump out of his throat beat a little more slowly .
Oswald has a good saying: "Even if you don't get hurt, you still only have one head and two hands. It's a dream to use one as a hundred."
No matter how agile Kevin's movements are, he only has two hands in total, not to mention that there is one more hand that must hold onto the mountain wall, which can only parry those monsters for a while.
Fortunately, there were not many monsters coming down the mountain this time, only eight or nine in total.Kevin flipped them all over before his arms cramped.He turned his wrist, relaxed his muscles and bones a little, then chiseled on the mountain wall with a knife, and said to the people below: "It's fine for now, let's go. Speed up a little, or you might run into another one. At that time, I was not sure if you just watched without doing anything."
Everyone was in a complicated mood for a while.
When they came out of Xuangong as a whole team, they all had the idea of helping Kevin in their hearts.After all, anyone with a normal mind would think that "going to the tomb of Phaer alone is courting death", but they just don't have the nerve to say it.
They felt that having so many people together would undoubtedly make things easier for Kevin.
Before they climbed the mountain, they were still firm in their thinking. After all, they set up tents to find food, boil water and drink horses, and were mostly responsible for night watch.But at this moment, they were a little embarrassed, as if they had slapped their faces with a big mouth, and they blushed hotly.
help?Let him relax a lot?
Ha ha.
Everyone almost gave themselves a dry laugh in their hearts.
Starting from climbing the mountain wall, the more they climbed, the more they realized that they didn't seem to be here to help, but the enemy sent by the enemy to serve as an undercover agent for Kevin, the kind that was designed to hold back.
If it weren't for them, Kevin would probably be standing on the top of the mountain now, and naturally he wouldn't have to go through that wave of hand-to-hand combat just now, although his voice still sounded relaxed.
"What is that?" It was still the officer who asked "to climb the mountain or go around the mountain" who was the first to speak, "How come they come down from the top of the mountain and live on the mountain?"
Kevin considered the words for a while, and finally said: "No, they live in the mountains."
"..." The officer didn't understand the difference for a while. After all, the meanings of "on the mountain" and "in the mountain" are not too different.
"As for what it is... just think of them as the natives of the White-headed Hill." Kevin didn't know how to explain the existence of this thing, and he continued to climb up while saying: "Didn't you just say Well, we have to accept the existence of various ethnic groups."
"You said last night that there were troublesome things on the mountain, is this what you meant?" Ben asked after breathing heavily.
"Almost." Kevin wanted to say not all, but he was afraid that after saying this, the people behind would slip and roll down, which would not be so wonderful. "As far as I know, that thing likes to come out at night. A few of them are probably not working normally."
He intentionally said a few more words, so that everyone who was suffering from exhaustion and shock could relax a bit, and focus on the words, so they might not be so tired when they got up.
"If I had come last night, I would have encountered more than that. Maybe they would come down in groups." Kevin clicked his tongue twice, "It's like a rising tide, and I can't stop it."
Everyone imagined the scene for a while, and their faces turned green.
After several words, they climbed up for a long time.
Although everyone has been hanging on their hearts, they are lucky.The last section was considered safe and smooth, without encountering any other moths. The only danger was that the mountain wall was covered with some snow and ice, which felt piercingly cold and slippery.
However, each of them had a saber in their hands, and they were not afraid of slipping when they chiseled into the stone wall, and they were already sweating all the way down, so it didn't matter if they were cold or cold, just to cool down.
"It's here." Kevin's faint words are more exciting than any stimulant.
The eyes of the people who felt that they were about to die suddenly came alive, and they sped up like flashbacks, and they kept urging the people in front: "Hurry up, hurry up!"
Kevin reached out his hand to touch the stone platform on the top of the mountain, and then with the strength of the dagger, he turned over and went up to the top of the mountain.
A group of people climbed up one by one, and then collapsed on the ground with their arms and legs spread out like a dead dog, panting heavily.
Kevin also sat down, with one leg bent, one elbow resting loosely on his knee, and the other hand fanning himself.
The ground here is actually covered with a layer of snow that is neither thick nor thin, and it has been trampled so much by something that it is almost crushed into ice.A group of people froze on the ice for a while, lazily, not wanting to move a finger.
It wasn't until they were almost frozen that they became sticks, and then they sat up one after another and asked, "How do I go after that?"
The little lion class was young and full of energy, and soon jumped up and down again, walking around in a circle.
Because of its height and straightness, the mountain looks a little thin from the outside, as if it is only the size of a needle tip when it reaches the top of the mountain.But when I actually climbed up, I found that this mountain is still very hidden.
The area of the top of the mountain is much larger than they imagined, and it is not flat at first glance, but strange rocks, standing in layers, and it is easy to get dizzy and confused when turning three or two times.
Ben didn't dare to run far, and after looking at it for a while, he shrank back to Kevin and said, "I went around, but I didn't see any waterfall of eternal life."
Kevin waved his hand at him and said, "Don't worry, take a break first, you can take out the dry food you're carrying and eat a little first. I'm not sure when the next time I have time to eat will be."
When he said this, everyone was shocked: What does it mean to not be sure when the next time you have a chance to eat? !Is this about to enter the tomb of God?But the tomb of the gods obviously doesn't even have a shadow of a ghost? !
Kevin wasn't too busy explaining, he was afraid that after explaining these people would have a stomach ache and couldn't even eat.
He took out a little bit of eagle food from the cowhide bag, and sprinkled it on the ground in a circle.Then he slapped the questioning officer on the back and said, "Nick? Take out the jerky in your bag, I'm starving to death."
Nick let out an "oh", and simply turned the backpack upside down, and the greased paper bag wrapped in jerky rolled to the ground.Kevin unceremoniously peeled off the layer of oiled paper, picked up a strip of meat, and swallowed it in two or three mouthfuls.
It took a long time to climb the Baitou mountain. They set off at dawn and it was already past noon when they reached the top of the mountain. Coupled with a lot of physical exertion, these old men were already hungry. up.
The sun was mostly blocked by the blue-black clouds, and only a vague light could be seen. The sky was gloomy, and it looked like it might rain at any time.
The wind on the top of the mountain is dry and strong. The only advantage is that the flying insects are almost extinct, so you don't have to worry about being bitten all over your body.Kevin ate three meat sticks in a row as a base, and only slowed down on the fourth, chewing and swallowing slowly.
Just when he had the last sip, a chirping sound came from the cloud and mist, which attracted Kevin's attention.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw the white eagle that was sent to deliver the letter followed him to the top of the mountain, flapping its wings and plunging into his arms.
Kevin: "..."
He didn't quite understand how the palace raised eagles in the past few years, and why they seemed a little cute and silly for no reason, and always slapped people.
White Eagle stretched out a thin leg in a very human way, and shook the small metal cylinder tied to the leg.
Kevin simply stuffed the last bit of jerky into its mouth, and pulled out a piece of rolled parchment from the small cylinder.
Before leaving, he made an agreement with Oswald. In order to facilitate the remote control of the palace, he must report back the progress every time he takes a step forward. It is best to include the location, route and method of entering the tomb.
Kevin is very lazy. He felt that it would take too much to explain eloquently, so he came up with such a "graphic method". He thought it was simple and chic, and it was clear at a glance.
As a result, Oswald's reply was even more clear. There was no picture on it, only two lines of scribbled words: What kind of filthy thing is drawn, it is unsightly, and then scribble some nonsense things to come back and interrupt your dog legs .
Kevin: "..."
No, what is dirty?Still unsightly?
He stared at the emperor's overly arrogant little note for a while, then sneered: This is because people are far away and can't beat him, isn't it itchy?Who broke whose dogleg? !
Without thinking about it, Kevin took another small piece of parchment from the kraft bag, and quickly painted on it—no painting allowed?Who cares about you...
He was still too lazy to describe the process in petty words, but drew a simpler and rougher white-headed hill with one stroke, painted a black dot on the top of the hill, took out an arrow, and marked the word "hole" concisely, Another line was written in a fluttering manner below: "It's the top, go in through the hole."
This bastard has no self-awareness at all, and has no objective knowledge of his coquettish painting skills. After finishing writing, he looked at it and thought there was nothing wrong with it, so he rolled it up and stuffed it back into the small cylinder, letting Bai Ying continue to bring the news back. .
White Eagle ate enough eagle food, drank some water, rested his legs and feet, and left like an uncle.
Only Ben held a piece of jerky in his mouth, and asked Kevin blankly, "What did you draw just now?"
"Baitou Mountain." Kevin said without blushing, "So obviously you can't see it?"
Ignoring this nonsense for the time being, Ben tilted his head and said, "Then why did you draw a dot on the top of the mountain, calling it a hole? There is still a hole on the top of the mountain? Why didn't I see it just now?"
Kevin waved his hand and said, "It's behind that rock, don't worry, anyway, I have to go from there later."
Ben didn't realize the meaning of his words, and let out an ordinary "Oh".
Twenty minutes later, when everyone was standing around the huge hole, Ban finally understood what it means to "go from there later".
They have lived for so many years, and they have heard countless legends about Paektu Mountain and Yongsheng Waterfall. Every time they conceive in their hearts, they subconsciously hang the waterfall on the top of the mountain, or halfway up the mountain.But I never thought that the waterfall can be embedded in the mountain.
The Baektou Hill not only looks so tall and almost weird on the outside, but it is also weird on the inside - because it is hollow.
There is a huge hole on the top of the mountain. If you look in from the edge of the hole, you can see the bottom all the way, like a natural deep well on the ground.The so-called waterfall of eternal life grows at the "bottom of the well".
As for why the water at the bottom of the well is called a waterfall...
That's because there is a huge pothole at the bottom of the well. The pothole is not natural, because the edge is a layer of steps, spiraling towards the hole. If it is not in such a dangerous place, at first glance , a bit like the circular fountain pool with steps on the edge of the central temple square of St. Antis.
It's just that this place is not as gentle and quiet as the fountain. Huge water rushes from all sides of the steps and pours straight into the black hole in the middle. Because it is too fast, a huge vortex is formed in the center.
Ben and Nick lay stunned by the hole and listened for a while.
The sound of rushing water inside was superimposed through the layers of the mountain wall, becoming particularly powerful, like a howling wind surrounded by thousands of galloping horses, which made people's hearts throb and tremble.
"How do you go from here?" Nick asked, his lips trembling.
Kevin Qin Beast Fassbender pointed at the vortex and said, "Jump in."
Ban made a "boom" and pouted immediately.
Just when they were trembling on their legs, standing at a height of [-] meters and preparing to commit suicide, Oswald just finished running the Medical Officer’s Academy, Priest’s Academy, and the three major legion camps in the Ugin Suspended Palace at the northern end. little progress.He managed to get some free time in the afternoon, and planned to seize the time to take a nap to refresh his spirit.
As a result, in such a short period of time, he dreamed of some bloody scenes again.To sum up, it can be summed up in one sentence - Kevin's several ways to die.
Either they were shot by sharp arrows from the tomb of the gods, or they were nailed to tall stone statues, or they fell to the ground from a high place...without exception, they were all pierced through the heart.
In the end, every dream was fixed on Kevin's empty expression. The corner of his mouth was overflowing with unstoppable blood foam, and the blood seeped out from under his body slowly and quickly, and it dripped everywhere in a blink of an eye, turning into a bright red shallow mooring.
Then, in those beautiful eyes, the black pupils slowly and clearly spread out...
Oswald's fingers twitched, and he woke up again with a start.I don't know when a layer of cold sweat evaporated from my body, and the wind brought in by the window felt cold and sticky, making me extremely uncomfortable.
He lay down for a while with a low air pressure all over his body, and finally wiped his face and turned over to sit up.Then he opened the door of the bedside cabinet with a gloomy face, and took out the crumpled parchment with the white-headed hills drawn from it, and squinted for a moment.
otherwise……
An idea flashed through his mind, but soon, he shook his head and vetoed it.
Just as he was about to turn over and get out of bed, the cavalry commander Peter knocked on the door: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report."
Sitting in front of the desk, Oswald rubbed his temples heavily, and the little energy he had raised just now suddenly dissipated.The long-term lack of sleep left him in a state of deep irritability, mixed with an indescribable exhaustion and mental numbness, as if a huge matter fell before him, and he couldn't bear to deal with it. interest.
White Eagle is aware of current affairs, and it deeply feels that the person in front of it is surrounded by a layer of low air pressure, and it may catch someone and tear him up at any time, so after completing the task of delivering the letter, it immediately rolled off the table, scrambling. Lie on the ground to rest.
When people are extremely tired, their thinking is always jumping and wandering.Oswald supported his head, flipped through the military newspaper two pages ago, and glanced at the still dark night outside the window. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the former Parsons Manor.
As soon as a few fragmentary pictures were turned around, the drowsiness returned——
It seemed to be an afternoon in late spring. It was raining a lot outside those few days, with a few muffled thunders of late spring, rumbling over from a distance.
The teahouse on the second floor of the Parson Manor had half of the windows blocked by the broad-leaved privet tree, so the lighting was not very good, and the whole room seemed dark and very dim in rainy days.
Oswald sat on the chair beside the bed, with a volume of books in his hand, but kept his eyes on the garden path outside the window.The path stretches straight forward, which is the iron carved gate.
The old butler Ian coughed, cleared his throat, entered the room and said sternly: "Master, it is not a good habit to be in a daze while clutching a book, you will be punished."
The young Oswald pursed his lips and turned his head, asking, "Isn't that bastard coming today?"
The decree lines on Ian's face became deeper, "A polite gentleman should not call others like that. Your Excellency Fassbender received the legion transfer order yesterday, and the spring break ended a week earlier, and he has already left for the capital of Wangcheng. At that time, you The fever hasn't subsided, so I didn't tell you."
After Oswald heard it, he was thankful for a while, and he was relieved that he could practice a few silly fighting skills less.But then, he felt a little dull disappointment.
He couldn't say exactly what he was disappointed with.
He only thought that although Fassbender was a bastard, he was at least much more interesting than those servants.The manor finally gained a little popularity, but now it's gone again, and the silence is a bit boring.
He stared at the carved gate at the end of the garden for a while, then turned to Ian and asked, "Then will he come for spring break next year?"
Ian thought for a while, shook his head and said truthfully: "Generally, only the first year in the legion has a complete spring break. This is a recruit's benefit. He probably won't be able to come next year."
What about the next year?
He wanted to ask, but the answer should be the same...
Another muffled thunder rolled past, and before he could escape from the slight disappointment, the scenery in front of him flickered, the glass window in front of him turned into a wall, and two steps forward, there was a half-opened window. The door, a few maids are hiding and chatting inside.
He vaguely heard one of them lower his voice and say: "Have you never heard the reason why master doesn't like young master?"
The other person gave a "shh", and said softly: "Didn't you find that the longer he looks like Master Keno, the less he looks like?"
"He doesn't look like a lady either."
"Madam has been seriously ill for several years, and she is so thin that she is out of shape. Can you see what she looks like?"
"It is."
Oswald stood motionless by the wall, wishing neither to move forward, to hear better, nor to retreat.
Just when the maids were about to continue guessing and discussing, a hand was placed on Oswald's shoulder, and he patted it gently: "Master, you haven't read today's book, so you can't be lazy."
It was Ian's voice, but he turned his head and found that the person standing in front of him was Kevin.
He felt that he was growing taller like a plant, and his sight changed from looking up to looking down and then looking down slightly.
And Kevin patted the cowhide bag on his waist, and said with a relaxed face: "I'm going to the tomb of the gods, and I'll be back soon."
Then he turned around and ran into a thicket of thorns, nimbly splitting a path among the branches.Just when he turned his head and waved his hand at Oswald and said, "See, I'll say I'm more than enough alone", a thorny thorny branch suddenly sprang up for no reason, and stabbed him in the blink of an eye. Into Kevin's heart.
Kevin's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he fell back silently with blood foaming...
"you--"
Oswald's hand supporting his chin twitched suddenly, as if he accidentally stepped on the empty steps, and he woke up suddenly.
He lowered his eyes and stared at the parchment map on his desk that was soaked in water for a long time before letting out a silent breath.
The hourglass on the corner of the table is only a thin layer shallower, it hasn't been too long since he was startled by the white eagle just now, but all his drowsiness has been swept away by a few miscellaneous clips just now Clean, no need to sleep anymore.
He rubbed his cheeks to wake himself up more thoroughly.Then he got up and picked up the cloak and copper wire mask hanging on the side, planning to go to the hospital.
The young emperor strode out of the door of the study, and the guards patrolling outside immediately "slapped" their feet together, and were about to follow in a hurry. Unexpectedly, he had just taken two steps, and the emperor in front of him stopped suddenly. He lowered his head to look for what.
The guard almost didn't stop and slammed into it, patting his heart against the wall: Fuck, I'm scared to death!
"What do you need, Your Majesty? I'll help you." The guard asked cautiously.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Oswald raised his hand and waved, saying, "No, I saw it."
He bent down and picked up a small ball of parchment from the wall, unfolded it and snorted coldly after looking at it, as if he sneered at the contents of the ball, but the next second he stuffed the ball into his pocket again .
The guard was subconsciously curious: "What is this, Your Majesty?"
Oswald walked away without looking back, and threw out two words: "Trash."
guard:"……"
What are you doing with garbage in your pocket?
On the other side of the map, at the foot of Baitou Mountain, Kevin and the others had nothing to say all night, and they got into the military tent early to rest.Although the few people who were in charge of taking turns on night duty kept worrying, the overall life was fairly stable.
As soon as the sky was a little bright in the morning, everyone packed up their things under Kevin's instructions and prepared to go on the road again.
"Don't lead the vultures, let them wait in the woods first." Kevin said lightly, "Even if they fly on this mountain wall, they won't be able to fly up. If they fall, they will be a piece of cake."
Everyone: "..." Ancestor, can you stop talking?
Kevin said again: "There is no need for so many people to go up together, some of them are left here to guard and respond, and watch the vultures so that they don't starve to death."
Everyone who was still green-faced just now became normal again, and it seemed that none of them wanted to retreat here.
"Honestly..." Kevin leaned on the mountain wall, folded his arms, and said seriously: "Don't think that staying here is a cold-blooded battle, it's not enough for a man. Soldiers have their own division of labor, and there must be a few people here. If you don’t open your mouth, I’ll just order it directly.”
After he finished speaking, he scanned around, and seeing that no one took the initiative, he raised his hand and ordered five people to come out.
The faces of these five people have been paler than others since yesterday. It is obvious that they are really afraid of heights, and there is no need to follow up and suffer.
"Although it's unlikely, if we don't come down from the mountain for a week, we can go back and talk to Ao... Tell His Majesty to think of another way." Kevin thought about it and asked, after all, he brought a group of people in, everything It's not easy to say too much.
Those who planned to go up the mountain quickly packed up.
Kevin untied the dagger pinned to his waist, pulled his thumb out of its sheath, and held it in his hand for climbing later.
Standing next to him, the little lion class couldn't help asking: "Why can't we go around and go up? Is the Yongsheng Waterfall nested on the top of the mountain? But aren't all waterfalls hanging down?"
In fact, other people also want to ask this question, but because of his old face, they can't ask it, so they can only count on a child who has something to say.
Kevin tried to chisel the mountain wall twice with a short knife, touched the blade again, and said: "You will know when you go up, but now you have said that you will be weak."
Everyone: "..." Are your words more lethal? !
The Paektu Hill looks straight up and down, and it's not really that there is no road.When you really climb up, there is still a place where you can put your hands and feet.
Kevin took the lead alone, with a very tough rope tied around his waist, and everyone behind him was tied one by one.From a distance, this group of people looks like a winding centipede climbing on the mountain wall.
"Just look at the rocks you're holding, and don't look back." When Kevin climbed up, he still had time to tell others to pay attention. His voice was deep and steady, and he didn't even breathe.To him, the straight and towering mountain walls are like walking on flat ground.
If he was the only one, then he would climb faster, because he knew that this mountain was not suitable for staying for a long time.The longer you spend here, the easier it is to encounter troublesome things.
But because there was still a string clinking behind him, he had to control his speed, and when he felt the rope around his waist getting tighter and straighter, he stopped and waited until they caught up again before continuing.
Behind him is the little lion class, this little cub is heartless and doesn't think too much.The overall level of the people behind was about the same, and the ropes tied to each other did not appear to be straightened for a while and then bent back. So at first, they didn't feel that there was a lot of difference between themselves and Kevin.
When climbing a mountain, especially when climbing such a tough mountain, time seems to pass very slowly.Obviously, it feels like a century has passed, but I still can't see the top of the mountain.
The speed of the crowd slowed down significantly, and each limb seemed to be filled with lead.The palms were covered with dust and gravel, and they were not so stable when grasping on the raised stones. They had to grasp twice before they dared to lift their feet. Once they came and went, the rhythm of the whole team became a little chaotic.
"It's coming soon, I can already see the top of the mountain." Kevin thought about it, and turned to encourage him.
Looking back from his angle, the black heads are almost directly attached to his feet, and further down is the abyss, the whole person seems to be hanging in the sky without any support, as if a random gust of wind can sweep them all away go down.
But the height was tolerable for him, so he just glanced at the foot of the mountain that he could not see for a long time with an indifferent expression, then looked away, and said to others: "Don't look back, we have already climbed two-thirds of the way. This mountain looks high, but it’s actually only about a thousand meters, so if you think about it, the distance of about a thousand meters is not too long.”
Everyone: "..."
It's better for this ancestor not to speak.
However, if two-thirds of the total amount of a thousand meters is planed, there are only a few hundred meters left, and it will indeed feel better to imagine it as flat ground.
only……
Is the lead guy a fucking monster? !Why is it that we can't wait to be exhausted, but he can still talk without blushing and panting, even if he talks, damn he dares to turn around!
A group of elite military officers, large and small, finally felt the injustice of God belatedly—how could the gap between people be so large? !Why is there such a wonderful thing as Fassbinder!
Kevin scrambled forward a little further, and didn't stop again until the rope between him and Ben straightened again.Only this time, instead of turning back to speak without changing his expression, he put his ear against the mountain wall and listened for a while with his breath held.
There was a vague "Xi Xi Suo Suo" friction sound, which came along the hard mountain wall and stone veins. It sounded as if there was something moving in the mountain.
Fortunately, the others paid almost all their attention to the hands and feet that were almost unconscious, so no one noticed this kind of creepy sound.
Kevin listened for a while, raised his head with a frown, and his calm and relaxed expression finally showed signs of tension.
So, you still have to hurry up when climbing the broken mountain...
He sighed in his heart, but he didn't turn around and urge the others to hurry up a little bit, because urging didn't really have much effect.
"After a while, you may see some messy things falling from the top of your head." Kevin's tone was still calm, as if he was explaining a very ordinary thing, "Don't worry, just keep crawling on you, but you have to avoid it a little bit." Take a moment, don't climb here with great difficulty, and be smashed back to the original place with a dull head."
Hearing what he said at the beginning, everyone first thought that it was a falling rock in the mountains. Apart from sighing a few times, they didn't really think it was too scary.Until they heard some voices suddenly coming from an unknown distance above their heads.
The voice was very weird, the tone was like a human voice but it was vague, and the content could not be heard clearly.
If I have to describe it, it's like a group of people whose tongues have been pulled out get together and communicate by shouting, but no one can understand what they are shouting.
Why is there such a sound on the top of the mountain? !
Everyone thought about it carefully, only to feel that their scalps were a little numb.
"The world is so big, we have to calmly accept the existence of various ethnic groups." Kevin's voice came from the top of his head, and the pervert still had the time to make a joke at this time, "Even if you are ugly, you can't discriminate against people."
Everyone: "..."
Kevin held the stone in one hand and chiseled in the mountain wall with a short knife in the other. He lay quietly on the stone surface, squinting at the layer of milky white mist hanging on the top of the mountain, like a bird clinging to the mountain wall. The snake, waiting for the opportunity to move.
Suddenly, I saw some black silhouettes appearing one after another in the milky white mist.
Kevin tensed up: Here we come!
Almost in the blink of an eye, those black shadows in the fog jumped down at an extremely fast speed.They seemed to have suction cups on their hands and feet. They jumped from top to bottom without rolling directly to the foot of the mountain. They came face to face with Kevin in two steps.
What Kevin said just now is not a joke, these things are really ugly.
There is almost no "neck" transition between their huge heads and bodies, as if they are carrying an old pumpkin on their shoulders.The upper body is almost skinny, even the ribs are clearly defined, but there is a round belly that seems to be inflated, and then there are two legs that are as thin as dry branches, with thin feet that seem to be broken if pinched.
In fact, Kevin really raised his hand to squeeze it.
The skin on these monsters is like the bark of hundreds of years old trees. When they are pinched and exploded, they will make a crackling sound when they step on dead leaves, which sounds indescribably disgusting.
They are fast and strong, and when their dead wood-like fingers touch people, they can stick firmly. When they are pulled and pulled, people climbing on the mountain will be easily pulled straight down. The foot of the mountain fell into a puddle of meat.
Kevin held the short handle of the knife that was cut deep into the rock with one hand, and hooked the monster's legs and feet with the other hand like a gust of wind. When the monster was about to grab his arm, he made a sharp "click" Break its bones, and then shake it off without hesitation.
Those seven or eight monsters rushed over one after another. Kevin grabbed another mountain wall with his empty hands, and pulled out the short knife that had been chiseled into the mountain wall in a blink of an eye.
The monster's huge belly is probably the softest part of its body. Kevin's blade is sharp, and he can cut a piece alive with a single stroke like cutting tofu.
Before the cold hairs that had just stood up on the people who were climbing the mountain below were subdued, they heard a scream a few miles above their heads, howling so loudly that it hurt the eardrums a little.
Immediately afterwards, one by one black shadows fell from both sides like money, the speed was so fast that everyone was overwhelmed.
The officer at the very end couldn't help but chased after the falling black shadow, and his calf twitched—not to mention the terrifying face of the monster's old tree bark, and the almost endless abyss under his feet made him feel even worse. People are terrified.
He suddenly withdrew his gaze, stared at the stone wall that was close at hand, and said silently several times, "If you can't look back, you will arrive, if you can't look back, you will arrive", the heart that was about to jump out of his throat beat a little more slowly .
Oswald has a good saying: "Even if you don't get hurt, you still only have one head and two hands. It's a dream to use one as a hundred."
No matter how agile Kevin's movements are, he only has two hands in total, not to mention that there is one more hand that must hold onto the mountain wall, which can only parry those monsters for a while.
Fortunately, there were not many monsters coming down the mountain this time, only eight or nine in total.Kevin flipped them all over before his arms cramped.He turned his wrist, relaxed his muscles and bones a little, then chiseled on the mountain wall with a knife, and said to the people below: "It's fine for now, let's go. Speed up a little, or you might run into another one. At that time, I was not sure if you just watched without doing anything."
Everyone was in a complicated mood for a while.
When they came out of Xuangong as a whole team, they all had the idea of helping Kevin in their hearts.After all, anyone with a normal mind would think that "going to the tomb of Phaer alone is courting death", but they just don't have the nerve to say it.
They felt that having so many people together would undoubtedly make things easier for Kevin.
Before they climbed the mountain, they were still firm in their thinking. After all, they set up tents to find food, boil water and drink horses, and were mostly responsible for night watch.But at this moment, they were a little embarrassed, as if they had slapped their faces with a big mouth, and they blushed hotly.
help?Let him relax a lot?
Ha ha.
Everyone almost gave themselves a dry laugh in their hearts.
Starting from climbing the mountain wall, the more they climbed, the more they realized that they didn't seem to be here to help, but the enemy sent by the enemy to serve as an undercover agent for Kevin, the kind that was designed to hold back.
If it weren't for them, Kevin would probably be standing on the top of the mountain now, and naturally he wouldn't have to go through that wave of hand-to-hand combat just now, although his voice still sounded relaxed.
"What is that?" It was still the officer who asked "to climb the mountain or go around the mountain" who was the first to speak, "How come they come down from the top of the mountain and live on the mountain?"
Kevin considered the words for a while, and finally said: "No, they live in the mountains."
"..." The officer didn't understand the difference for a while. After all, the meanings of "on the mountain" and "in the mountain" are not too different.
"As for what it is... just think of them as the natives of the White-headed Hill." Kevin didn't know how to explain the existence of this thing, and he continued to climb up while saying: "Didn't you just say Well, we have to accept the existence of various ethnic groups."
"You said last night that there were troublesome things on the mountain, is this what you meant?" Ben asked after breathing heavily.
"Almost." Kevin wanted to say not all, but he was afraid that after saying this, the people behind would slip and roll down, which would not be so wonderful. "As far as I know, that thing likes to come out at night. A few of them are probably not working normally."
He intentionally said a few more words, so that everyone who was suffering from exhaustion and shock could relax a bit, and focus on the words, so they might not be so tired when they got up.
"If I had come last night, I would have encountered more than that. Maybe they would come down in groups." Kevin clicked his tongue twice, "It's like a rising tide, and I can't stop it."
Everyone imagined the scene for a while, and their faces turned green.
After several words, they climbed up for a long time.
Although everyone has been hanging on their hearts, they are lucky.The last section was considered safe and smooth, without encountering any other moths. The only danger was that the mountain wall was covered with some snow and ice, which felt piercingly cold and slippery.
However, each of them had a saber in their hands, and they were not afraid of slipping when they chiseled into the stone wall, and they were already sweating all the way down, so it didn't matter if they were cold or cold, just to cool down.
"It's here." Kevin's faint words are more exciting than any stimulant.
The eyes of the people who felt that they were about to die suddenly came alive, and they sped up like flashbacks, and they kept urging the people in front: "Hurry up, hurry up!"
Kevin reached out his hand to touch the stone platform on the top of the mountain, and then with the strength of the dagger, he turned over and went up to the top of the mountain.
A group of people climbed up one by one, and then collapsed on the ground with their arms and legs spread out like a dead dog, panting heavily.
Kevin also sat down, with one leg bent, one elbow resting loosely on his knee, and the other hand fanning himself.
The ground here is actually covered with a layer of snow that is neither thick nor thin, and it has been trampled so much by something that it is almost crushed into ice.A group of people froze on the ice for a while, lazily, not wanting to move a finger.
It wasn't until they were almost frozen that they became sticks, and then they sat up one after another and asked, "How do I go after that?"
The little lion class was young and full of energy, and soon jumped up and down again, walking around in a circle.
Because of its height and straightness, the mountain looks a little thin from the outside, as if it is only the size of a needle tip when it reaches the top of the mountain.But when I actually climbed up, I found that this mountain is still very hidden.
The area of the top of the mountain is much larger than they imagined, and it is not flat at first glance, but strange rocks, standing in layers, and it is easy to get dizzy and confused when turning three or two times.
Ben didn't dare to run far, and after looking at it for a while, he shrank back to Kevin and said, "I went around, but I didn't see any waterfall of eternal life."
Kevin waved his hand at him and said, "Don't worry, take a break first, you can take out the dry food you're carrying and eat a little first. I'm not sure when the next time I have time to eat will be."
When he said this, everyone was shocked: What does it mean to not be sure when the next time you have a chance to eat? !Is this about to enter the tomb of God?But the tomb of the gods obviously doesn't even have a shadow of a ghost? !
Kevin wasn't too busy explaining, he was afraid that after explaining these people would have a stomach ache and couldn't even eat.
He took out a little bit of eagle food from the cowhide bag, and sprinkled it on the ground in a circle.Then he slapped the questioning officer on the back and said, "Nick? Take out the jerky in your bag, I'm starving to death."
Nick let out an "oh", and simply turned the backpack upside down, and the greased paper bag wrapped in jerky rolled to the ground.Kevin unceremoniously peeled off the layer of oiled paper, picked up a strip of meat, and swallowed it in two or three mouthfuls.
It took a long time to climb the Baitou mountain. They set off at dawn and it was already past noon when they reached the top of the mountain. Coupled with a lot of physical exertion, these old men were already hungry. up.
The sun was mostly blocked by the blue-black clouds, and only a vague light could be seen. The sky was gloomy, and it looked like it might rain at any time.
The wind on the top of the mountain is dry and strong. The only advantage is that the flying insects are almost extinct, so you don't have to worry about being bitten all over your body.Kevin ate three meat sticks in a row as a base, and only slowed down on the fourth, chewing and swallowing slowly.
Just when he had the last sip, a chirping sound came from the cloud and mist, which attracted Kevin's attention.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw the white eagle that was sent to deliver the letter followed him to the top of the mountain, flapping its wings and plunging into his arms.
Kevin: "..."
He didn't quite understand how the palace raised eagles in the past few years, and why they seemed a little cute and silly for no reason, and always slapped people.
White Eagle stretched out a thin leg in a very human way, and shook the small metal cylinder tied to the leg.
Kevin simply stuffed the last bit of jerky into its mouth, and pulled out a piece of rolled parchment from the small cylinder.
Before leaving, he made an agreement with Oswald. In order to facilitate the remote control of the palace, he must report back the progress every time he takes a step forward. It is best to include the location, route and method of entering the tomb.
Kevin is very lazy. He felt that it would take too much to explain eloquently, so he came up with such a "graphic method". He thought it was simple and chic, and it was clear at a glance.
As a result, Oswald's reply was even more clear. There was no picture on it, only two lines of scribbled words: What kind of filthy thing is drawn, it is unsightly, and then scribble some nonsense things to come back and interrupt your dog legs .
Kevin: "..."
No, what is dirty?Still unsightly?
He stared at the emperor's overly arrogant little note for a while, then sneered: This is because people are far away and can't beat him, isn't it itchy?Who broke whose dogleg? !
Without thinking about it, Kevin took another small piece of parchment from the kraft bag, and quickly painted on it—no painting allowed?Who cares about you...
He was still too lazy to describe the process in petty words, but drew a simpler and rougher white-headed hill with one stroke, painted a black dot on the top of the hill, took out an arrow, and marked the word "hole" concisely, Another line was written in a fluttering manner below: "It's the top, go in through the hole."
This bastard has no self-awareness at all, and has no objective knowledge of his coquettish painting skills. After finishing writing, he looked at it and thought there was nothing wrong with it, so he rolled it up and stuffed it back into the small cylinder, letting Bai Ying continue to bring the news back. .
White Eagle ate enough eagle food, drank some water, rested his legs and feet, and left like an uncle.
Only Ben held a piece of jerky in his mouth, and asked Kevin blankly, "What did you draw just now?"
"Baitou Mountain." Kevin said without blushing, "So obviously you can't see it?"
Ignoring this nonsense for the time being, Ben tilted his head and said, "Then why did you draw a dot on the top of the mountain, calling it a hole? There is still a hole on the top of the mountain? Why didn't I see it just now?"
Kevin waved his hand and said, "It's behind that rock, don't worry, anyway, I have to go from there later."
Ben didn't realize the meaning of his words, and let out an ordinary "Oh".
Twenty minutes later, when everyone was standing around the huge hole, Ban finally understood what it means to "go from there later".
They have lived for so many years, and they have heard countless legends about Paektu Mountain and Yongsheng Waterfall. Every time they conceive in their hearts, they subconsciously hang the waterfall on the top of the mountain, or halfway up the mountain.But I never thought that the waterfall can be embedded in the mountain.
The Baektou Hill not only looks so tall and almost weird on the outside, but it is also weird on the inside - because it is hollow.
There is a huge hole on the top of the mountain. If you look in from the edge of the hole, you can see the bottom all the way, like a natural deep well on the ground.The so-called waterfall of eternal life grows at the "bottom of the well".
As for why the water at the bottom of the well is called a waterfall...
That's because there is a huge pothole at the bottom of the well. The pothole is not natural, because the edge is a layer of steps, spiraling towards the hole. If it is not in such a dangerous place, at first glance , a bit like the circular fountain pool with steps on the edge of the central temple square of St. Antis.
It's just that this place is not as gentle and quiet as the fountain. Huge water rushes from all sides of the steps and pours straight into the black hole in the middle. Because it is too fast, a huge vortex is formed in the center.
Ben and Nick lay stunned by the hole and listened for a while.
The sound of rushing water inside was superimposed through the layers of the mountain wall, becoming particularly powerful, like a howling wind surrounded by thousands of galloping horses, which made people's hearts throb and tremble.
"How do you go from here?" Nick asked, his lips trembling.
Kevin Qin Beast Fassbender pointed at the vortex and said, "Jump in."
Ban made a "boom" and pouted immediately.
Just when they were trembling on their legs, standing at a height of [-] meters and preparing to commit suicide, Oswald just finished running the Medical Officer’s Academy, Priest’s Academy, and the three major legion camps in the Ugin Suspended Palace at the northern end. little progress.He managed to get some free time in the afternoon, and planned to seize the time to take a nap to refresh his spirit.
As a result, in such a short period of time, he dreamed of some bloody scenes again.To sum up, it can be summed up in one sentence - Kevin's several ways to die.
Either they were shot by sharp arrows from the tomb of the gods, or they were nailed to tall stone statues, or they fell to the ground from a high place...without exception, they were all pierced through the heart.
In the end, every dream was fixed on Kevin's empty expression. The corner of his mouth was overflowing with unstoppable blood foam, and the blood seeped out from under his body slowly and quickly, and it dripped everywhere in a blink of an eye, turning into a bright red shallow mooring.
Then, in those beautiful eyes, the black pupils slowly and clearly spread out...
Oswald's fingers twitched, and he woke up again with a start.I don't know when a layer of cold sweat evaporated from my body, and the wind brought in by the window felt cold and sticky, making me extremely uncomfortable.
He lay down for a while with a low air pressure all over his body, and finally wiped his face and turned over to sit up.Then he opened the door of the bedside cabinet with a gloomy face, and took out the crumpled parchment with the white-headed hills drawn from it, and squinted for a moment.
otherwise……
An idea flashed through his mind, but soon, he shook his head and vetoed it.
Just as he was about to turn over and get out of bed, the cavalry commander Peter knocked on the door: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report."
