22. Chapter 22

As we all know, there is actually more than one tomb on the mainland.

In the "Divine Calendar", it is said that the saddest and most magnificent scene of the old god era is the dusk when the gods fall, the golden red remnants are like blood, the birds and beasts are screaming, the rivers and seas are poured, and the gods fall like stars and return to the same place, which is the end of the old god era and the beginning of the post-god era.

So, the old gods of the old days actually had a common giant graveyard called the Tomb of the Gods. Of course, Wan is an exaggeration, just to appear magnificent. In fact, I counted it with my fingers, except for the hundred or so minor gods, only two of the three main gods of the old era were lying inside.

The maverick who did not lie in the tomb of the gods was Fae, the god of light.

Because Phae fell later than the other gods, he held out until the end of dusk, when night fell, and his eyes were closed when the last rays of light were gone.

However, these are all from legends, and it is impossible to know how they actually are. It's like no one can say who built such a dangerous tomb for the fallen gods and the last dead Phae.

"I hate the man who built the tomb of the god......" Ban put his arms around the vulture's neck, angry as if he were a gossamer.

Before setting out from the Hanging Palace, Kevin prepared a vulture for him as well. He was a little shorter than the others, but he had strong limbs and wide wings, and he was no less able to run than the big ones. It's perfect to use a half-sized boy like Ban as a mount.

But the little rabbit didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he had to run on his own, and was convinced that he could outrun most of the vultures on a long journey.

So he knelt on his knees.

After most of the day, the vulture was still galloping, but Ban was about to ascend to heaven. In the end, Kevin couldn't see it, so he whistled, beckoned the little vulture to the front, picked up the dying-day lion, and threw it on the horse's back.

With a word of comfort: "Yes! ”

"I see it's not that far away on the map!" Ban Bo cried out, and when he returned to human form, his hands and feet were weak, and he could not straighten up his waist when he lay on the horse.

Kevin glanced at him and said, "Which mentally retarded tells you that a straight line between two points on your map represents the actual distance?" ”

Ban: "......"

Unfortunately, it's himself.

"How far is that? Can you get there before dark? Ban looked up at the road in front of him half-dead and couldn't help but ask.

Kevin smiled and touched his dog's head, raised his hand and pointed into the distance, and said softly, "See that hill?" It's almost there. ”

Ban squinted blankly, carefully distinguishing for a long time in the thick rain and fog in the distance, but he couldn't find the so-called small mountain bag.

"Where do you look? Over there. Kevin raised his hand and slapped him again.

"Huh?" Ben's gaze stretched out along his arm, not daring to deviate from it.

After a while, the dazed little lion slowly opened his mouth wide, and his eyes were completely petrified. He was dumbfounded for a moment, then suddenly jumped up, pointed to a pillar-shaped mountain in the distance, and shouted, "Go to your grandmother's hill!" Is that called a hill bag?! ”

Kevin snorted and said, "You're just a little older, you love to scold, and you turn around and ask someone to arrest you and take you to an etiquette class." ”

The little lion "phew" and said, "Who dares to catch it!" ”

"Emperor." Kevin said rightly.

The little lion looked at him expressionlessly: "...... It's so strange in your country, the emperor still has to listen to you, you are his father? ”

Kevin: "......"

The sky was glowing blue, and a thin layer of night floated.

The heavy rain slowed down in the afternoon and dragged on for several hours before finally stopping. As soon as the rain stopped, the flying insects became even more energetic.

The elite squad selected by Osvid is composed of members from the three major legions of Bronze, Hematite, and Ugin, and almost all of them are officers. Although they did not have the rank of commander or deputy commander, they were the best of the legions on weekdays, so no one wanted them to be injured on this long journey.

Before leaving, the legion provided each of them with a pair of close-fitting light armor, which could cover most of the vital parts of the body without being clumsy. One wears a hooded rain cape and a copper wire mask with fine mesh.

Such a full armament can basically withstand most flying insects, but everyone still seems very cautious.

So the whole team presented such a spectacle - the big and small mouths of the leader did not stop, as if they were really here for an outing. Behind them, the group of black-clad followers were silent and solemn, as if they had come to hold a memorial service.

The location of the tomb of Phae is no secret.

Almost everyone has heard since childhood that the tomb of Lord Phae is located in the area of Baekdu Hill, under the Eternal Life Falls. But most people don't stop there, they probably won't know what Baektu Hill and Eternal Life Waterfall are like for the rest of their lives.

The common understanding of Baektu Hill is very unanimous - as the name suggests, it is a hill with a little snow on the top.

And the word hill always makes people feel that it is not dangerous, it may just be a low mountain with a little mystery.

So, when Kevin pointed to the peak like the "Heavenly Pillar" and said, "The rain has stopped, can you see it clearly now?" That mountain is Baektu Hill. Everyone had a sense of "you're kidding me" ridiculous.

From a closer distance, the Paektu Hill looks even more terrifying - it is very narrow, the walls of the mountain are almost straight up, and the slope is negligible, which makes people feel sore to watch.

And the so-called "white head" probably refers not only to the snow on the top, but also because the top of the mountain has been poked into the clouds.

An officer looked up for a long time, and finally held back a sentence: "Please tell me, 'located in the area of Baekdu Hill' means that we want to bypass it." ”

Kevin snorted and lifted his chin, shattering his illusion very thoughtfully, "No, we're going to get on it." ”

Everyone: "......"

"Not tonight, though." Kevin paused, pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "There are some things on the mountain that are not easy to deal with at night, and going up is to kill you, let's speed up a little faster and spend the night at the bottom of the mountain." I'll leave tomorrow at dawn. ”

The crowd did not dare to delay, and quickly drove the vultures forward, splashing a large clump of water, drenching the flowers on the side of the wild forest road.

The officer who had questioned him crouched on his horse, and a hint of doubt flashed in the whistling wind: how did Commander Fassbinder know that there was something difficult to deal with on the mountain? Has he been here?

But who is so idle to visit this kind of hellish place?!

The night soon fell completely.

It is close to the Northland, and the climate is much drier and colder than within the borders of the Golden Lion Country, with a large temperature difference between day and night, and because of the rain, the night wind blows on the damp and heavy clothes, which is a little chilly.

Kevin stroked his hands, rubbed his fingertips together, and then quickly set up a few simple marching tents with the others, so that they could block out a little wind.

A few officers skillfully lit a fire in the leeward area of the tents, set up a shelf, put the wine bladders they had brought over and warmed them by the fire, and then divided their work to find something to eat.

"Don't go far, just look in the low forest in front of you, don't cross the misty belt on the other side of the forest, be careful of poisoning." Kevin raised his voice and said a few words, then found a drying place and sat on the floor.

He straightened his long legs and leaned his back against a rock, his drenched cloak in an idly relaxed manner.

As far as Kevin himself is concerned, he rarely brings too much baggage when he goes out, and it is most convenient to travel lightly. A water bladder, a cowhide bag with flint and sand, a melee dagger and a longbow were more than enough.

Food can be found along the way, which he is very experienced. He never pays attention to the accommodation, and he can rely on it overnight in a leeward place, which is very rough.

But now that there are more people, there are naturally more things to bring out. Military tents, emergency medicines, and even a lot of dry food. However, when you can find game, you don't plan to touch the dry food. Who knows if you will be able to find something to eat when you reach the Fatee Graveyard? It's better to be prepared.

Kevin glanced at the mountain behind him, took out a small piece of crumpled parchment and a pen from the cowhide bag, and drew a columnar white-headed hill with three strokes and five divisions, but the dragon flew and wrote a line of words: "It's here, go up tomorrow." ”

He whistled, and a white eagle that had been let out for a walk circled and landed on the rock beside him.

"Stretch your legs." He said to the White Eagle without touching anything, rolled the parchment into the small metal cylinder tied to the White Eagle's feet, and said, "Come, go back and report the trip." ”

The white eagle fluttered its wings and soon disappeared into the sky, disappearing without a trace.

In the early hours of the morning, the bird of prey with the letter fluttered its wings and smashed on the emperor's desk in the Ugin Hanging Palace, wetting a large area.

Osveld hadn't slept well for days, and after lying on his desk for a while, he was awakened by this little brute, and his face was covered with eagle feathers and muddy water.

“…… You can't learn to land well, can you? Osvid wiped his face and patted his forehead in an attempt to sober himself up, pulling out the Impressionist master Kevin's magnum opus from the small metal cylinder.

It's no wonder that the bald hill didn't look very reserved in the first place, and it was distorted by Kevin's magical brush, and it didn't look like a serious thing no matter how you looked at it.

Osvid frowned, staring at the pillar of optimus on the parchment for a few moments, before finally crumpling it up and throwing it out with a blank face.

It's just spicy......
