Under the leadership of Nugeta, Lester and Soraka did not walk on the obvious mountain climbing path. Instead, they picked a vertical rock wall composed of rock blocks and took a look at it.
Taking the road up the mountain, Lester himself had some doubts about whether his decision was correct.
"It's close, very close, very close! The snowman is right up there!"
The nagging old man seemed to notice Lester's hesitation and took the initiative to climb up. What made Lester puzzled and shocked was that the cliff seemed impassable, but the old man could easily climb it. It was staggered.
The concave and convex rocks seem to be arranged in a way that easily causes visual dislocation for people down the mountain. When viewed from the bottom of the mountain, it looks like a vertical rock wall, but this is not the case in reality.
To say that this is a coincidence of nature would be an insult to people's intelligence.
"Follow me and take a look. Give me the staff and I'll help you get it."
"good."
After tying the staff behind his back, Lester held Soraka's butt and pushed hard, allowing Soraka to climb up smoothly, while he greeted the one-horned star spirit from behind to avoid any accidents.
The three people began to move slowly up the mountain. After climbing about a few hundred meters, the three people successfully arrived at a hidden cave.
There is only one passage in the cave, and I don't know where it leads.
The old man slumped down on the ground to rest from exhaustion, and Lester began to make a simple torch. Behemoth's grease is flame-resistant and has high heat dissipation. It is the favorite kerosene for heating and lighting among many Freljordians.
In order to cope with the current situation, Lester deliberately prepared a small jar.
"Lester, come here and take a look, there seems to be something here."
"coming."
Soraka, who was observing the cave, waved to Lester and briefly responded to the woman. Lester used his Demacian long sword to draw the saltpeter block. The sparks from the friction of the metal directly ignited the grease torch, holding up
The man with the torch walked quickly towards Soraka.
"Look at these murals, they seem to be telling the story of the Snowman."
Putting the torch close to the gray rock wall, Lester discovered that the so-called mural was composed of black lines, showing three elements in an exaggerated and abstract form, namely, villains, buildings, and giants.
Judging from the meaning of the composition, the relationship between the villain and the giant does not seem to be the relationship between the superior and the inferior, but more like an equal relationship. The reason is that in Lester, he saw many villains pulling adults to dance in a circle.
.
Lester's eyes and footsteps moved deeper, and Soraka whispered her own opinion.
"Some time in the past, I chose to measure the earth with my feet. At that time, I was living in Freljord and heard a lot of rumors about the Yeti. Most of the stories and legends were from the Enochian people.
Ballads are widely circulated as carriers,
It is said that the Yeti is a peculiar ice element affinity magic creature. There are only a small number of them. They live alone on the icebergs and have their own ethnic group and culture. Until a huge glacier disaster befell the Yeti's tribe, causing the Yeti to suffer heavy losses.
, began to disappear.
In the past, snowmen often helped or entertained humans who went up the mountain. Some enthusiastic snowmen even took the initiative to go down the mountain to visit their human friends and help build houses with ice bricks. At that time, the relationship between humans and snowmen was very good, but beautiful things always came.
It disappears easily. A sudden disaster occurred in the snowman's tribe. Since then, the snowman has turned into a ferocious monster, tearing humans into pieces or freezing them into pieces of ice, and attacking all humans it sees."
Soraka's hand stayed on the last part of the mural. The adults and the little ones danced happily around a city built in a crack on the top of the mountain. A radiant stone was held high by the largest adult.
, shining brightly.
This kind of harmonious and happy relationship is what Soraka pursues. Unfortunately, the beauty that once existed has turned into the cold mountain wind and withered with the ice and snow.
"So, this mountain passage is probably the entrance to the Yeti ruins. We are not wrong, and Mr. Nugeta is not crazy. He has really been here."
"Snowman! His sharp claws tear apart all flesh and blood! Snowman! His bloody mouth devours human souls! Spare your life! Spare your life!"
The old man behind him began to kneel down and bow down to the dark passage. It seemed that there really was a snowman in the darkness coveting his soul and body.
"In any case, beauty and kindness are the qualities that snowmen once had. If there are still snowmen living in the ruins, we must be careful."
After resting for a while, the three of them continued on the road. The terrain gradually rose, but the fear on Nugeta's face became deeper and deeper. The old man finally stopped in front of a huge ice door, and refused to move forward anymore. He just knelt on the ground and prayed.
God keeps talking.
There is only a sealed ice door at the end of the cave. There is a roulette wheel made of rock in front of the right side of the ice door. Lester can see that the roulette wheel is a concentric circle with three engraved figures.
The ring can rotate and move with the center of the circle as the base point, and nothing else.
After checking the status of the Ice Gate, Lester frowned and returned to Soraka.
"This door cannot be opened in ordinary ways. It may have a special mechanism. Soraka, can you judge whether this door is related to magic?"
Nodding, Soraka pressed her hand on the ice door and quickly shook her head.
"This door has nothing to do with magic. It shouldn't be a magic door."
"Then it can only be a mechanical door. I didn't expect to see such an exquisite mechanical design in Freljord."
Returning to the roulette base again, Lester began to observe the status of the door opening mechanism.
Soraka helped the trembling old man up with some worry, trying to comfort the old man not to be afraid.
The innermost round stone pattern that cannot be moved and can only be pressed down is a luminous stone. The stone emits three beams of light, which is very similar to the stone on the mural. The first ring has a simplified representation of 'mouth, eyes, ears, and nose'.
In the picture, the second ring is 'birds, snakes, sea fish and wavy lines', and the third ring, which is the outermost ring, has the symbols of 'sun, moon and stars'.
It is simply unrealistic to rely on trial and error to determine whether the roulette wheel is correct. What's more, Lester is not sure whether some terrible mechanism will be triggered if the trial and error fails. When the time comes, the mountain will collapse and he will be on the spot.
He would be buried as soon as he lay down, and then he would harm Soraka.
There is too little information available, and Lester cannot make decisions at will.
On the other side, under Soraka's comfort, the old man finally stopped shaking. It seemed that he had just seen the pedestal wheel. The old man paused for a moment and murmured an ancient song of the Freljord Nortai:
"/The wind and snow roar/The rain falls/Pure friendship is established on the boulder/
/Above the iceberg/Under the deep valley/The voice of God comforts Li Ying/
/The thunder descends/The stars and the moon disappear/The ancient notes flow into the heart/
/My friend/My friend/I am here/Where are you/"
The old man sang it once and then a second time. The old man singing and dancing gave Lester some enlightenment.
"Listen to the disaster sounds of wind, snow and frost with your ears. God descends from the sky and comforts the flying Li Ying with his voice. Li Ying then spreads its wings to summon the sun to break the disaster. The dark clouds disperse and the earth welcomes the first ray of dawn. It turns out that it is
so!"
"What?"
"You are wonderful!"
The dumbfounded Soraka didn't understand what Lester was talking about, but Lester trotted up to the woman and gave her an unexpected hug. After lifting her up high, he returned to the roulette wheel without stopping and started spinning the roulette wheel.
.
Rotating the images of ears, birds and the sun in sequence to the direction of twelve o'clock, Lester took a deep breath and pressed the core of the roulette wheel.
