Chapter 9 People go to the empty building
(Thank you for the 150***580 tip and monthly pass!Thank you, brother!Welcome brother!)
The coordinates given by Grus are located on the edge of the multiverse as the world of Steeu knows, a world with extremely harsh living conditions, Charlotte has never been to the Abyss Purgatory, but in his opinion, the so-called Abyss is nothing more than that.
The atmosphere of this world is filled with unpleasant dust, and it is unsettling to press overhead like a black cloud before a rainstorm every day and night. The land is full of active volcanoes or swamps, whether it is the smell of sulfur and magma coming from the volcanoes, or the smell of corruption and death in the swamps.
According to Gruss, there are still natives in this harsh world, and the natives are not known to be descendants of Alduin or affected by his breath, and they have more or less dragon characteristics, they have snake-like flat faces, and their bodies are covered with scales with good defense.
Gruss named them the Half-Dragons and told Charlotte that the natives considered themselves the servants of Alduin. There are not many of them, but the individual strength is not weak, and the adult half-dragon man generally has the strength of more than three rings, and compared to humans, the life cycle of the individual is also terrifyingly long.
Charlotte had taken a closer look at these natives, and Gruss was right when he said that they did have good individual strength, and although they were not many overall, they also built their own cities in this world. There are usually sacrificial temples in the city, and the sculpture of the temple is a mighty black dragon.
On her way to her destination, Charlotte observed three cities, none of which were large in size, and the largest city had no more than 30,000 inhabitants. Interestingly, although all three cities have temples, the black dragon forms enshrined in the temples are all subtly different in detail.
This most likely means that none of the owners of these cities have seen Alduin.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Charlotte did not take the initiative to show up to communicate with the owners of these cities, and of course, with his current strength, if he did not want to show up, it would be difficult for these aborigines to detect his whereabouts.
By the way, this time he was alone.
Considering the unpredictable nature of the Old Dominator, a solo visit is the best option, both in terms of blood ties and the ability to reset death.
Not much time was wasted, and soon Charlotte was in the position that Gruss had said. It is the highest mountain in the world and is also an active volcano full of dangers. Not long after climbing the mountain, the deadly dust that filled this world was no longer just an ornament floating overhead, but a poisonous mist that literally drifted through the mountain. As the altitude increases, the temperature on the mountain drops suddenly, and the low temperature of nearly 100 degrees below zero and the deadly dust make this a real forbidden area for life.
The deadliest thing is not the cold and dust, but the real lethal is the roaring active volcano, Charlotte has suffered two volcanic eruptions on the way to the top, each eruption is enough to destroy a large city, and in terms of frequency, this should only be the norm for this forbidden area.
This extreme environment is even more terrifying than the Abyss Purgatory, because the mountain is still full of terrifying will to destroy people's minds, and the magic particles are extremely thin, and there seems to be some kind of enchantment, making this a no-fly area. If it weren't for Charlotte, who had become a legend, she had the means of enduring extreme conditions, and she would be afraid that she would not be able to move an inch in this environment. He couldn't even imagine what Gruss had gone through to reach the top of the mountain.
Inevitably bumping into this great being who had existed since the beginning of the era, Charlotte did not dare to use any temporal and spatial spells, and in this case, he trekked for five full days to reach the peak.
At the top of the peak was a large circular pit, and even in the deadly poisonous fog, the red glow at the bottom of the pit could be faintly seen. When she arrived, the low temperature suddenly turned into an extremely high temperature environment, and the collision of hot and cold air currents formed a continuous light rain, and the rain mixed with poisonous mist became an abominable black viscous liquid, Charlotte walked to the edge of the pit one foot shallow and one foot deep, and the golden runes at the bottom of her pupils flickered, trying to see through the environment below.
There was a deep cavern in the cliff of the pit, and Charlotte began to climb down after repeatedly determining her position, during which she tried to use flashing magic to speed up her progress several times, but was stopped by her inner sanity.
And the closer he got to the cave, the more he could feel that great will. That will is as deep and terrifying as a black hole, and it is full of extreme greed, like an abyss that wants to ...... people's souls, wills, and bodies Everything was devoured completely.
This was the retreat of the primordial dragon and Olduin the Eater of Worlds, and Charlotte had no doubts about it.
After landing on the dry ground of the cavern, Charlotte bowed deeply to the deep cavern, and defended her home with sincere respect.
"I, Charlotte Clayderman, a direct descendant of His Majesty Clayderman and the active Grand Duke of Icewind Castle, a descendant of your bloodline, apply to meet His Majesty Alduin, the Great Primordial Dragon and Devourer of Worlds!"
After saying that, Charlotte bowed and waited for a full three minutes without a response.
So he continued to repeat what he had just said, and his posture did not change in the process. But even so, there was no response from the cave.
When there was no response for the third time, Charlotte raised her eyebrows, straightened her clothes and cleared her throat, "Ancestor, if you have no objections, then I will bother." ”
With that, he still didn't see a response, and walked into the cave with his chest straight.
The cave is very simple, with only one way in and out. It's just that this passage is terrifyingly wide, Charlotte seems to be just a speck of dust in a deep well, and when you are in it, you feel like you are in an ever-expanding time and space tunnel, and at the end of it is a cruel and barbaric ancient land.
On the way to the end, Charlotte notices a heavy detail, that is, the tunnel has a very rounded wall and a fine rock powder on the ground, which seems to indicate something unpleasant.
When he finally came to an unimaginably spacious cavern, his ominous premonition came true. There was nothing alive in this cavern, which was no less than the Icewind Castle Square, and there was no trace of life in the cavern, except for the hollow hard stone in the center, which signaled the existence of some unimaginable dragon here not long ago.
Alduin, the primordial dragon and devourer of worlds, is gone.
Unwilling to give up, Charlotte waited here for three days, Alduin naturally did not wait, but in these three days he found another trace.
There seemed to be traces of battle in the cave, but the traces were not obvious, which meant that the intensity of the battle was not great, at least this level of battle traces could never threaten Alduin's life.
There are two marks, one is a huge claw mark left on the ground, the claw mark is supposed to have been left recently, it extends for fifteen meters, and the starting position is in a straight line with the tunnel. The second trace, directly opposite the first, was the mark of a breath that was extremely thin, only the diameter of an index finger, and Charlotte would not have been able to connect it to the dragon's breath if it were not for the terrifying aura of Alduin's all-devouring breath.
As you can imagine, this breath is extremely powerful, and it is as fast as a laser.
Charlotte repeatedly deduced the situation at that time, and the most plausible explanation was that the intruder came to Alduin's lair, and Alduin swatted at the other party like a mosquito. At this point, the intruder moved behind Alduin with incredible speed, either with or without a counterattack, and Alduin looked back and breathed. Obviously, this blow didn't work either. Then, there seemed to be a truce, an agreement or communication was reached, and finally, Al-Duuin left (or left alone) despite the intruder.
Considering that the legendary Grus couldn't even catch a single move from Alduin, the intruder was able to move at such high speed under Alduin's nose and dodge his two lightning attacks in a row. Combining the two key factors, Charlotte doesn't think there are many people in this multiverse who can easily do this.
Charlotte herself is one of them. And the intruder...... Should also be proficient in space-time spells!
"Aven, Vivien Leigh, Abraham, Ramsay......" Charlotte made a decision in her heart, "it seems necessary to make contact with the natives." ”
