Chapter 467: Ravenhold's Trial
The destruction of Cynzaro has been a mystery in the later history of Azeroth, and no one has been able to figure out why Deathwing destroyed the city, and after a lot of archaeological work, nothing has been found. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now, Nomi and Valella have crossed the Singalwal Mountains and turned west in search of Ravenhod.
Nomi's knowledge of Ravenhold came entirely from books, and Nefarian's collection included a number of travelogues, including How the Assassins Were Made, where the author trained - and he had completed the Light Challenge to leave his name and information about Ravenhold.
According to the book, Ravenhold Manor is located in the mountains to the west of the Arathi Heights, where it meets the Hills Brad Hills, and it looks quite ordinary from the outside, but it is a skilled stalker who can enter.
It stands to reason that Valella is not qualified to enter - with her trap and anti-trap abilities, she simply can't find the manor.
But Nomi couldβhe could look down from the sky, and no matter how well the manor was hidden, Nomi believed it would never be seamless.
So, when Nomi reached the westernmost part of the Arathi Heights, he reverted back to the form of a young dragon and began to flap his wings as high as he could.
The mountains are golden in autumn, but Nomi doesn't have the time to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
With a dwarf telescope in hand, Nomi carefully surveyed the rolling mountains.
Then, Nomi frowned.
There were countless paths in the mountains, which twisted and disappeared between the trees, and the dense canopy of trees blocked Nomi's view, making it difficult for him to pinpoint where the buildings were.
Not only are there no buildings, but there are not even a single pedestrian.
Well, maybe there is, but if you think about it, in a place like Ravenhord, which is full of stalkers, everyone gets in and out by stealth.
The undying Nomi flapped her wings and flew north for some distance, but the result was still the same.
In desperation, Nomi could only fall back to the ground and shake her head helplessly at Valera.
"There are so many trees that I can't see any buildings - why don't I go from place to place?"
"No! Don't! Valera quickly shook her head, "Although the Stalker is not a mage, we all believe in wisdom, and I believe there must be something you didn't realize......"
"What I didn't realize?" Nomi thought for a moment, "I feel like I've thought of most of the problems, and I've even observed the birds in the woods - the woods are silent, not a single bird!" β
"No birds?" Valera felt as if she had caught something, "There are no birds in normal times...... What if it's not usual? β
"Not usual?" Hearing Valera say this, Nomi realized, "You want me to scare all the birds in the woods, and then see where no birds fly out?" β
"Yes!" Valera nodded, "Of course, it's also possible that there are too many birds somewhere - my teacher once taught me that when the lake is calm and nothing can be seen, we can make a little wave." β
Nomi took off again, this time he began to deliberately show his dragon might, this level of power was ineffective against people, but it was more than enough to startle the birds.
Nomi flew as she carefully observed the woods below, and then silently estimated the number of frightened birds.
"One, two, three......"
It took Nomi three full days, flying quickly over the area, and then marking seven places where the number of birds was not right - some of them were a little more birdy, some were less.
Then, back to Valera, Nomi pulled out a large parchment map and began to mark out the seven places from memory.
"Valera, come and see!"
On the map, seven points are marked to form an Ξ© (omega) shape.
"What do you mean by Ξ© among you stalkers?" Nomi looked at Valera, "I always felt that the formation of this letter was too coincidental. β
"A trap." Valella frowned", referring specifically to the kind of trap that can't find anywhere. β
ββ¦β¦ So how do you all deal with this trap? β
"Throw stones and ask for directions, try to find out how to activate this trap, as long as you find the location of this trap, it is very easy to dismantle."
"Is this a reminder for us to try more?" Nomi thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of anything else, "Hmm...... This clue always feels meaningless, I remember that in the usual sense, Ξ© also has the meaning of 24, right? β
"Yes, 24." Valera looked at Nomi, "Do you have any guesses about 24?" β
"A little." Nomi nodded, "But it may take some time - it's the 20th today, right?" β
"You think this has something to do with time?" Valera couldn't understand Nomi's train of thought, "You're too rude, aren't you?" β
"What's wrong with being rude, you and I are not mages." Nomi rolled her eyes, "And even mages, they don't have to be polite except when they're copying scrollsβwait a minute, copying scrolls?" β
Nomi lowered her head and looked at the map carefully.
"I seem to have made a mistake, these seven dots are not a letter, but an inscription character!"
"Inscriptions? Isn't that the technique for making scrolls? Valera was a little puzzled, "Does the inscription character have any meaning?" Isn't that a microcosm of the energy pathway? β
"Of course it makes sense!" Nomi finally smiled confidently, "The two of us had a split from the beginning, Ravenhold Manor was screening stalkers, so normally people who want to find Manor don't fly like me, so the seven points are not a clue they left on purpose." β
"What's even more interesting is that I learned a little inscription from my father, and the meaning of this seven-point inscription character is hidden! In other words, Ravenhold Manor is hidden because of the huge inscription made up of these seven points! β
"You're saying that this isn't what Ravenhold wants to tell us, but an additional discovery of ours?!" Valera also reacted, "This is not the place where Ravenhold wants to investigate us, maybe under normal circumstances we would have some other way of obtaining information, but we have embarked on an unexpected path, right?" β
"That's right!" Nomi nodded excitedly, "Now that I can almost determine the location of Ravenhold Manor, you can come with me early tomorrow morning - since you have discovered unexpected information, how can you not take advantage of it?" β
If entering Ravenhold is an exam and normal people answer questions in the exam room, then Nomi and Valera are sneaking into the marking office and looking for an opportunity to register their results directly......
