Bedivere, who had just walked out of the portal, took a deep breath subconsciously and felt a gust of sea breeze blowing against his face.
Wait, no, it should be the river breeze. Aswan is along the Nile River, so of course this breath should also be the breath of the river.
There was a river, but where was the promised river valley? Bediwell also expected to see a deep river valley or valley from this place, and the "Sunbird" lived in it, but he looked around everywhere
, but could not see the secret place where a gorgeous and fancy creature like the Phoenix could safely live.
It is probably hidden somewhere unknown. If it could be found easily, the secret wouldn't be called a secret.
"So...where is that valley?" Bedivere couldn't help but asked curiously.
"It can't be seen from here, so let's walk a little further." Kana said, walking at the front to a small village-like place on the far bank of the river. Bediville shrugged, and Prince Said, National Defense
Minister Jia Ruofa followed together. It is actually quite strange that the valley cannot be seen from here. After all, the terrain on the river bank is quite open, and you can even see a small part of the Red Sea to the east from a distance. On the contrary, the valley cannot be seen.
see?
When they arrived at the village, Bediwell found someone waiting for their group's arrival from a distance.
Under the moonlight, under the light of the ancient and dim street lamps at the entrance of the village, the snow lion, who is covered in snow and has flowing silver hair, looks even more mysterious.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Seeing Bediwell and his group approaching from a distance, Snow Lion Snow Richard said. She was wearing a white evening dress that was as elegant as her hair. She was so formal and grand that Bediville
Deville felt a little ashamed of himself. If he had known that she would appear in tonight's trial dressed like this, he would definitely have also appeared in a dress.
"Well, how...?" Prince Said groaned, seeming very confused. But he seemed to understand something instantly, and immediately sighed: "I see, I understand."
Bedivere frowned, not knowing what the prince wanted to say or what he wanted to understand. He doubted that he would get an answer if he asked the prince, so he simply continued to remain silent.
"Why is Miss Sherrichard here?" He started to ask something else.
"Because there are actually three witnesses for this trial, and I am probably the most suitable person to take you to see Mr. Sunbird, so I was invited here." Snow Lion Girl Sherrichard replied.
"Kana, you can really impress everyone, your connections are so powerful." Bedivere couldn't help but said sarcastically.
"Haha, maybe." Kana replied ambiguously, without being tested by Bedivere.
"But I still don't understand why Miss Sherrichard is [the most suitable] to take me to see Mr. Sunbird?" The werewolf youth asked again, "Is there any reason for this?"
"There are several reasons, but the main reason is------" Sherichard opened her palms. In her palm was a smooth and polished transparent crystal with countless facets. Even though there was only moonlight in the scene.
Even in the dim light of street lamps, this crystal still shines with extremely bright light, because its extremely precise and as many facets as stars refract light, and because this crystal itself is a precious treasure.
Brings considerable treasure.
But this crystal was obviously not a simple gem. The moment it appeared from the snow lion's hand, it underwent a wonderful change, projecting a spherical shadow screen in front of everyone.
What was projected on the screen was Bedivere's somewhat funny wolf face. Looking closer, he could even see the small wolf beard on his own mouth and his slightly moist nose, so even he himself
They all felt embarrassed: "Hey...monitor?"
"It's a little different from a real monitor. This is an artifact. When it is activated, it is directly connected to my optic nerve and can reproduce everything I see in my eyes." Sherrichard handed the crystal to Said
In the hands of the prince: "In this way, everything I see will be recorded, and other witnesses can also see it."
The function of this artifact is somewhat similar to that of the Yingqi Orb, Bediwell thought to himself. Of course, it is not as powerful as the Yingqi Orb.
"Master Sunbird doesn't like to be watched by too many people, so although this trial requires three witnesses, I am the only one who actually went with you." Sherrichard continued: "This is to avoid angering the sun.
Under the premise of Mr. Bird, this is the best way."
"That's it." Bedivere nodded. So Prince Said and Defense Minister Jia Ruofa will not go to see the Sunbird. Are there only Bedivere and Sherrichard on this trip? Where is Kana?
She just brought Bediwell here, built a bridge, and then ignored all this? I always felt that this was not her style.
"Then, I hope you have a good time, and I'll go." Kana smiled and turned around and walked into the village.
"This is not a joke..." Bedivere muttered in a low voice.
"Let's go too." Snow Lion urged: "You can enter the Shalan Canyon from the secret passage on the other side of the village. There is another entrance at the end of the canyon. The secret place inside is the residence of Lord Sunbird."
"
It sounds like there is still a long way to go.
"We will wait in the village," Prince Said said. He took the crystal that Sherrichard gave him and moved with everyone. As he moved, the ball appeared about three feet in front of the crystal.
The shaped shadow screen also moved together, of course constantly reflecting what Sherichard saw in his eyes.
"Actually, if there is this artifact...Prince, you can do it even if you don't come to Aswang?" Bedivere couldn't help but asked curiously.
"I'm sorry, the effective range of [Vision Crystal] is not as far as you think. From the village of Aswan to the location of Lord Sunbird, that's the limit of the distance it can take effect." Sherichard smiled bitterly
Said, "Next, you may ask whether the same thing can be done with ordinary camera equipment, allowing witnesses to observe the trial from a distance. But no, ordinary equipment will be magnetized by the Shalan Canyon.
Disrupted by sandstorms, the interference in the secret realm will be further intensified. The only artifact in the world that can resist interference and operate normally and reflect what is seen and heard in the secret realm is the [Vision Crystal]."
"I see... I understand." Bediwell felt that he was stupid. Since this is the secret realm where Master Sunbird lives, the interference to various electronic equipment must be very strong. I am afraid that except for using this level
There is no better way than using the magic tool to "record".
"Then, I wish you success." The prince and the Minister of Defense walked into a room prepared for them, and turned to Bedivere and said, "By the way, Captain Bedivere. I did tell you this before.
There is no danger in this trial. But please do not provoke Master Sunbird under any circumstances. Even if you fail this trial, do not provoke it. Master Sunbird itself is not aggressive, but if it gets angry,
It’s hard to say."
"How to avoid irritating it..." the werewolf young man couldn't help but asked with a wry smile.
"Master Sunbird hates the crowds and noise, so we try to contact it with as few people as possible. This is one of the reasons." The prince continued: "Master Sunbird hates people lying, so never tell a lie in front of it.
, even staying silent is better than lying, that’s the second one.”
Bedivere nodded, as long as he didn't lie, he could still do it: "What about the third one...?"
"Remain humble...don't keep staring at Mr. Sunbird." Prince Said groaned.
"Uh, what?"
"Master Sunbird doesn't like to be stared at. Even though it is gorgeous, beautiful, and dazzling, it will make people want to look at it more often. But staring at it for a long time will anger it."
Jia Ruofa, who had remained silent, hummed: "Anyway, just kneel down in front of it and salute, and look away when you speak."
"Oh... I see." Bedivere couldn't help but smile bitterly. Shouldn't the sun be the image that everyone looks up to? The phoenix, which is considered to be the incarnation of the sun, hates crowds and being looked at. How?
of irony.
No, maybe this is the nature of the sun. It can be praised, worshiped, and flattered, but it should not be looked directly at. Anyone who dares to stare at the sun for a long time will be hurt.
After bidding farewell to Prince Said and Minister Jarofa, Bediwell and Sherichard walked to the other end of the village together, preparing to enter the Shalan Canyon. As expected, there was a path leading deep into the valley at the other end of the village, and it got deeper and deeper as they walked.
As we go deeper, the wind and sand inside are getting bigger and bigger. Even on this calm and pleasant night, Bediville can still feel a strong wind blowing against his face.
"Here." Sherrichard had already prepared and handed the werewolf youth a shawl to protect him from the wind and sand. The shawl seemed to be no ordinary fabric. It emitted a faint light of its own and seemed to have some kind of special enchantment.
, can repel the vicious sand and dust coming from the Shalan Canyon.
"Thank you." The werewolf youth covered his face and mouth with a shawl and wrapped the remaining part around his neck to prevent it from being blown away by the wind and sand.
"Now is the period of the year when the wind and sand is the smallest in the Shalan Canyon, and it is also at night, so the air convection is not as intense as during the day." The snow lion carefully walked into the canyon from the path, holding on to the iron chains on the canyon cliffs with both hands:
"Nevertheless, the occasional strong winds in the canyon may still blow people away, so please pay special attention when traveling in the canyon."
"Understood." Bediville walked close to the wall like Scholar Sherrich, while holding on to the chain with both hands.
The strong wind in the canyon blew past him, as if a ruthless giant beast was roaring endlessly beside him. The scene was indeed a bit scary. But Sherrichard looked calm and composed, standing in the wind and sand of the canyon.
Marching peacefully.
"By the way, the prince and his friends can only use crystals to see the scenery in front of me, but they can't hear us. You don't need to be restrained." Sherrichard said again: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Then," the werewolf youth thought for a long time before he said the question he wanted to ask: "Miss Sherrichard, what is the connection between you and [The Sun God's Sun Disk]?" (To be continued)
