Chapter 119: Arriving at the Monastery
"Excuse me, what is Wild Hunt?" There are so many jargon in this world, and it's not easy to digest them all.
Ciri took the trouble to explain: "A group of elves from the outer world, wearing heavy armor and riding war horses, a group of cold killing machines, they usually appear in the size of large armies, frantically chasing prey across the sky or the earth, this time their target is me, because I am the heir of the blood of the ancients, I can travel freely through time and space, but I can't fully grasp it yet, [Wild Hunt] hopes to use my power to teleport their people to this world, because their world is about to be swallowed up by hoarfrost, It becomes impossible to survive. ”
Ciri's voice is very good, listening to her is like a lark singing, gentle and pleasant.
"I see, is that why you're on your journey alone?"
"Yes, I've been running away from [Wild Hunt] to avoid putting people nearby in danger, and my father Geralt is also looking for me? It really worries him, can his old body still hold the steel sword? Ciri wasn't mocking her adoptive father, but she was deeply worried, and it seemed that she had a better relationship with her adoptive father than her biological father.
Ciri and Bai Yan started an exchange, exchanging information with each other, getting to know each other, and the purpose was the same, they both went up the mountain to find Graybeard.
For Ciri's ability to travel freely through time and space, it can be understood as [time and space magic], which can only be inherited by blood, which is extremely precious, and this magic is powerful enough to connect two planets.
Is this scientific? Not scientific, of course, super magic!
Anyway, Bai Yan can't understand what the principle is, talking about science in the world of magic is picking bones in eggs, and it's boring to ask for yourself.
[Wild Hunt] can be understood as the inhabitants of other planets, their planet has entered an ice age, and they urgently need to find a new home, and it is right for Ciri not to put them on this planet, which is equivalent to Mongolian iron riding into the Central Plains, and the ghost knows how much harm it will bring?
"You're up? Looks like it's all right. Shihua's voice came from behind, and she also woke up.
"Thank you for saving me." Ciri expressed her gratitude.
"You're welcome." Shihua didn't plan to ask for something in return, do you need a reason to save people?
"Shihua, we really saved an important person, she is Ciri, the princess of the Southern Empire." Bai Yan introduced.
"Oh, aren't you happy then? The princess who has been chattering about it has finally been sent to the door, please sign for it. ”
"How can I say it.... This is different from the script I imagined, the princess I imagined was a good girl in a gorgeous long dress, not a chivalrous man with a sword, which was not fun. ”
"That's a lot to ask for." Shihua glanced at Bai Yan.
"What? Not satisfied and can't refuse it? ”
"It's good if you're happy."
*****
After a little rectification, everyone decided to continue to brave the wind and snow to climb the Roaring Peak, one more member to join the team, and one more care, Ciri is different from those weak vase princesses, she is very strong, she can easily solve several trolls encountered along the way, agile body skills, sharp swordsmanship, is the result of the Demon Hunter Master Geralt personally taught.
The ancient stone steps are like a long snake covered in snow, twisting and turning, undulating and disappearing, and everyone has to stop from time to time and try to identify the direction of the stone steps in the blizzard, so as not to fall off the cliff without paying attention, and fall from this towering place, and everyone dare not imagine what kind of fate it will be.
The altitude is getting higher and higher, the air is already very thin, and the breathing of everyone is becoming more and more uncomfortable, relying on tenacious willpower to fight against the wind and snow, this may be the test of Graybeard to the world.
Just before everyone knew when the mountain road would end, without warning, a tall building suddenly appeared around the corner, and everyone couldn't help but be happy.
"Ahh That's supposed to be Graybeard's monastery! We're here. ”
"Finally...."
The stone building was the ancient monastery of the Hosga Peak, and at the end of the arduous journey of 7,000 steps stood a magnificent statue of the god Talos, the first generation of dragonborns and the king who once united the north and the south.
The closer people approached this ancient monastery, the more they were in awe of its antiquity, this monastery made of countless stones, on the high roar peak I don't know how many years it has been standing, but it is still intact.
Bai Yan was amazed at how ancient craftsmen transported a large number of building materials here, and how they built such a huge stone building in the air that was almost so thin that it was almost impossible to breathe.
Arriving at the entrance of the monastery, Ciri put his hand on the heavy gate made of cast iron, adjusted his breathing, made sure that he had calmed down, and pushed the door open with force.
"It's so warm~"
Once inside, the lights are bright, and thanks to the thick walls, it is well insulated from the cold outside.
The crowd shook off the snowflakes at the door before entering the interior.
There was silence in the monastery, and countless candles lit up the monastery, bringing a little warmth to the surroundings, and everyone hesitated, not knowing what to do.
"No one?" Everyone looked at each other.
"I guess I'm freezing to death." Bai Yan suddenly said something heartless, which made people cry and laugh.
"It would be embarrassing if that was the case." Ten flowers spread their hands, although Bai Yan's words were rude, but they made a lot of sense.
As if to dispel everyone's confusion and speculation, light footsteps sounded in the empty hall, and an old man in a gray robe came out of the corridor and said in a deep voice, "Welcome, Dragonborn and the First Princesse of the Empire. ”
"You already know who we are?" Ciri was a little surprised.
"Of course, my name is Ayngail."
Michelle replied blankly, "Master Eingael, I have come at your call, but I don't know why you are calling me, nor why I am a dragonborn. ”
Eengail muttered, "I think you have a lot of doubts in your mind, as for whether you are a real dragonborn, we will know soon, you can cast a dragon roar on me, just like you did outside the snowy city that day, don't worry, you can't hurt me." ”
"Okay."
Michelle took a deep breath and shouted 'Vos' at Ayngail with all her might, and there was a buzz in the monastery, which made the guards a few steps back, but Ayngail only took half a step back, then stood up straight and said in a deep voice, "You are indeed a dragonborn." ”
Sure enough, he is a master and can withstand Michelle's dragon roar, so if he makes a dragon roar, how much damage will he give the other party?
Bai Yan pondered secretly.
