Chapter 62: Graybeard
It turned out that the stele recorded a piece of history, but the poor pilgrims thought that there was some secret hidden in it, and actually regarded the inscription as a rune to comprehend. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
What foolishness! Dai Dameng and Seline looked at the noble brother and smiled vigorously, but the noble brother pretended not to see it and lowered his head and walked forward.
The terrain here is already very high, the snow does not melt all year round, and the mountain path is narrow and steep, and they have a hard time climbing up.
"Roar...... suddenly there was a beast's roar ahead, like a troll, but even more crude.
In front of it is a small mountain pass, the mountains on both sides are about three meters high, and on the top of the mountain in the internal test, a boulder sticks outward, and on it stands a two-meter-tall figure, covered with thick white hair, and two thick arms that are longer than the knees.
"Look." Pointing at the beast, Damon shouted, "A white troll! ”
"Nerd." Selene smiled and said, "That's called a snow troll!" They only live in snow-capped mountains, and the harsh environment makes them very ferocious, and they only eat meat, making them the most dangerous and deadly beasts. ”
"I didn't expect there to be such a fierce beast on the holy mountain of Ginares." Selene took off her bow and fired an arrow with a whoosh.
The troll turned his head and dodged the point, the arrow stuck in its forehead. The troll ran away with a snort.
"Count you as fast as you run." Selene put away her bow stupidly, the mountain was steep, covered with ice and snow, and the three of them did not dare to chase rashly, so they had to continue to move forward.
Along the way, they encountered the remaining six stone monuments in turn.
Fifth Tablet: Mankind triumphs, banishes Alduin. Heroic dragon roarer, name in mind.
The sixth stele: The dragon's roar is a secret weapon, and Nord is on the expedition again. The First Empire was built, and the dragon was nowhere to be found.
The seventh stone stele: The red mountain hates to break the halberd, and the root is sad and broken. Why the roar failed, seven years of hard thinking.
The eighth stele: Jorgen calls for the wind to return, and the debater cannot urge it. Howsga is hidden, about the root of the beard ash.
The ninth stele: After many years of silence, he roared out of the gray beard. The holy mountain of Tabordon, the dragonborn is famous.
The tenth stone tablet: The roar is faith, the inside is the source, and the release is only true.
Brother Guiren said that the fifth to ninth steles tell the story of the Nord people who won the dragon war after learning the dragon's roar, but lost the battle of the Red Mountain, and then Yogan-Evoking the wind thought about the reason and founded the way of the roar, calling himself Graybeard, and later Taber visited Graybeard and was recognized as a dragonborn. Taber was Talos before he became a god.
This is a long historical line, the dragon war took place about 5,000 years ago, but Tabor's story took place 600 years ago.
The tenth inscription is not a recorded story, and it is not known what it means.
After reading the ten inscriptions, a gust of wind suddenly fell from the sky, spun around the three of them, and then suddenly disappeared.
Although it was only for a moment, it made Dai Dameng feel very warm, with a feeling of deafness and clarity, and a sense of refreshment. Is it really like Collinmai said, after reading ten stone tablets, you can live in peace with wild animals? Unfortunately, there were no animals nearby for him to try, and they didn't have time.
The tenth stele is in front of the monastery of Greybeard.
A pitch-black stone fort towered like a giant halfway up the Hosgar Peak, blocking all paths.
The pitch-black stone fort, in strong contrast with the surrounding snow, is ancient, tall, and majestic, just like the Hosga Peak itself, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
This is the monastery of Greybeard.
There was a huge box at the door, with a few cloth bags and flowers in front of it, this was the donation box, and Dai Damont put Colin Mai's hemp bag into the box.
And then what?
The three of them stood in front of the monastery gate, stupid, turned their heads back? Dai Dameng was unwilling, he came to learn the dragon's roar.
Get in?
But the tall iron doors of the monastery were closed, and no sound could be heard from inside, and it seemed that Greybeard did not intend to see them.
Selene frowned, her eyes rolling. Brother Guiren stood dumbfounded, as if in meditation.
At this time, it's up to me! Dai Dameng walked up, banged on the door, and shouted: "Uncle open the door, I'm here to bring you food!" ”
"Children, don't make trouble, we are all hundreds of years old, where are there any relatives." An old and powerful voice sounded in the monastery, saying, "Put the things in the box at the door, and then go down the mountain." ”
How many hundred years old? These words frightened Dai Dameng, if that person is really that old, he can be his ancestor, and it is indeed inappropriate to call someone uncle. But none of that mattered, Dai Dameng was concerned about how that man could survive so long?
Dai Dameng slammed the door and shouted: "Teach me, I will live for hundreds of years!" ”
However, there was no response from inside, but an invisible force pushed him away from the door.
The force was like an invisible wall, and Damon couldn't even take a step closer to the door.
Angry with him, he took the sack out of the donation box and shouted at the monastery: "If you don't teach me, I'll take the food, and you will wait to drink the northwest wind!" ”
"Bold!" There was a loud shout in the monastery, and suddenly a gust of wind rushed in, and the sack in Dai Dameng's hand was pulled by an invisible force and almost flew out of his hand.
"Hey!" Dai Dameng pulled it back violently, holding the hemp bag in both hands, and shouted at the monastery: "Do you want to rob it?" There is no door! ”
"Don't make a fuss, nerd, put the sack back." Selene walked to the door of the monastery and said loudly, "Seniors are angry! This is your only reserve for the winter, so you can't afford to miss a beat. Have you ever wondered what you should do if the Dragonborn is the only savior hero, if something goes wrong with him, or if he falls? ”
"Hahahaha......" There was a burst of laughter in the monastery, "Female doll, don't mention the thing about you hurting my mountain beast, do you know what a dragonborn is?" The voice said, "The Dragonborn is a hero blessed by the invincible dragon god Akatosh himself, are you doubting the Holy Spirit?" ”
"I never doubted the Holy Spirit." "But I know the temperament of the Demon Gods better, and they will never give up their demagogy against the Dragonborns. The Holy Spirit asks the Dragonborn to restrain his nature, but the Demon God can satisfy any of his desires, are you sure that the Dragonborn can resist all temptations? ”
"Haha...... Female doll, you don't understand the dragon god, and you don't understand the dragonborn. But you can come in. The voice smiled happily, "It doesn't mean that I agree with you, but that someone wants to see you." ”
The door of the monastery opened, and Dietemon was amazed, and there was no one around, and it opened on its own.
The entrance was a large hall, empty, except for a large burning brazier, but it was warm.
There were three people standing in the middle of the hall, an old man in a gray robe, a young blonde man in iron armor, and a black-haired woman in steel armor and a shield on her back.
The blond-haired man was tall, handsome, and mighty, like a radiant god of war, so much so that Dai Dameng's eyes were completely attracted to him, ignoring the existence of the two outsiders.
"It's you." The blonde man looked at Selene with a gentle and warm look in his eyes.
"I don't think we've met." Selene met the blonde man's gaze with a hint of surprise in her eyes, but more of a surprise.
The man smiled and said, "You stole Delphi's Dragonstone." ”
