Because of their ability to fly, dragons like to live in the mountains, and they don't need to go out, just flap their wings a few times.

This time, Charles and Melida traveled together to the Dragon's Settlement in the western part of the Icecrown Mountains to the north of Limhi, where there was a complex of buildings built to accommodate other races.

Due to the high altitude, the top of the mountain range is covered with snow all year round, and the snow line is still very low in February.

At this time, Charles was standing on the edge of a high cliff, nervously watching a fiery red figure on the top of the opposite mountain leap down.

The figure was on skis and poles in hand, and his movements were not very skillful as he slid down the mountain over the thick snow.

Skiing in the mountains is no better than on the ski slopes, and Charles can't help but sweat for the crazy Meliti.

The next moment, it was the turn of a blue figure to leap down from the top of the mountain, and at the feet of this figure was a single piece of ski, and she was scurrying sideways down the snowy mountain.

For Diana's safety, Charles is still more assured because she can fly.

Perhaps the dragons are idle and strong enough to fly, and they like to engage in all kinds of extreme sports. Alpine skiing is one, as are gliders, hang gliders, and various skydives.

Or rather, extreme sports for other races are just right for dragons.

Charles was captured yesterday to experience a skydive, and Nessaliao, who had just arrived here, helped Charles, who had opposed it to no avail, with an umbrella bag on his back, turned into a dragon and grabbed him high in the air, and then let go of his claws.

At the moment when the free fall began, Charles, who was downlived and dismissive, accepted his fate, and just as he began to enjoy the fun of free fall, the humanoid Nysario flew to his side, and then grabbed his hand and freefell with him.

Although this scene looks romantic, it is a necessary safety guarantee for novice skydives.

Dragons can sometimes scare people to death when they joke with people, but they are prepared for anything.

However, Meliti has a soft spot for such extreme sports, and he and she have been having a lot of fun these days. After Diana came here yesterday, Melidi pulled Diana to come and ski with her today.

Nessario's voice remembered behind Charles, "The wind is coming!

Before Charles could come to his senses, he was pulled in front of him by Nessalio, and the two were tied together by strong ropes. In the eyes of others, the tall Nesario and Charles are like kangaroo mother and son.

The wind whistled over the mountains, and a giant paraglider carried Charles and Nesario into the sky, swimming between the peaks.

"What do you think?" asked Charles.

Charles shouted, "Feel good!"

Then he stopped talking, and the cold wind from high just now poured his mouth into his mouth.

Charles, who was paragliding for the first time, should have been scared, but with yesterday's experience of freefall, he felt that he had nothing to fear at this point.

Then they encountered turbulence in the mountains.

Fortunately, Nessario is experienced and highly skilled, and she quickly catches an updraft and flies higher than the mountain peak.

In the sky, the snow-capped mountains and the boundless forest sea in the distance can be seen, and you can see the small mountains at a glance.

"I'll take you somewhere. Nysario said, and she flew her paraglider into the mountains to the north.

The Icecrown Mountains are home to an abundance of endemic wildlife and rare plants that can only be found in the high mountains, attracting adventurers every summer.

At the same time, there are many people who are either tired of the world, or who are looking for a place to live after losing the struggle, and they will come to the mountains to live a life of seclusion.

There are also some groups who avoid the mountains for various reasons and live an isolated life of "not knowing that there is a Han dynasty, regardless of the Wei and Jin dynasties".

It's just that life in the mountains is difficult, and these settlements have basically disappeared in the long river of history.

The two soon flew over a valley, and Charles soon discovered the ruins of a village in the valley.

The village is located next to a small river in the valley, and there is an irregular rectangular wall about two or three hundred meters long and wide, and there are stone houses in it.

It's just that the walls and stone houses here have been abandoned for I don't know how long, and now only a broken wall remains.

Nesario landed on the flat ground outside with Charles, and the two walked into the ruins together.

I don't know how many years have passed on this site, and weeds and other plants on the ground have withered due to the arrival of winter, and traces of moss growth can be seen on the roots of the walls.

To Charles's surprise, a large stone house in the middle of the village may have been preserved in good condition due to its sturdiness, showing no signs of collapse.

Nessalio led Charles to the outside of the large stone house, where the stone walls of the Great Ark looked to have been cleaned not so long ago.

"Here you come. Nysario pointed to the stone wall and said, "There are still some traces of frescoes on the wall. ”

Charles also found murals on the walls, which were carved into the walls with dots, lines, and planes, and then filled with mineral pigments in the grooves. This type of mural has a very long history and can be preserved for many years.

Nessario asked, "Do you recognize what this painting is?"

"I don't know. Charles shook his head, he wouldn't say that he recognized the contents of the mural on the wall after two or three glances.

"It's been more than a thousand years old, and we only discovered these murals more than 400 years ago. ”

"Later, when we copied the murals, we asked the brave men, and they recognized the mountain in the lower left corner as Mt. Fuji from their hometown. ”

Then Nasario pointed to the other side of Mt. Fuji and said, "This one next to it is said to be an iron tower called Tokyo Tower." ”

Nysario then pointed out to Charles the murals of Kinkakuji Temple on the walls around the big stone house, the castle tower of the castle, and a building that looked like a middle school building.

The founder of this village, the author of these frescoes, is no longer verifiable, and there are too many brave people who choose to retreat after every battle.

Charles said with some emotion: "Maybe this is the place where some brave man lives in seclusion, right?"

Nessalio nodded silently.

Charles and Nessario were standing at the back of the large stone house, where there was one of the largest murals on the wall, and it was still faintly discerning that it was a neat family portrait of a family, including a woman in a kimono and a little girl in a sailor's suit.

This reminded Charles of a gray-haired old man standing outside the house on crutches and looking at the mural, nostalgic for his hometown and relatives.

When the shadow of the sword and sword is dimmed and the drums and horns are far away, the stranger from the other world may have a vivid face flying in front of his eyes, and the years cannot take away the string of familiar names in his heart, but the familiar face can no longer be seen.

This made Charles can't help but think that when he is dying of old age and his life is about to wither, will he also sit quietly in front of the paintings in his hometown and miss that distant time.

Here, nostalgia is a painting made by one's own hands, in front of the painting, in the hometown, in another world.
