After dealing with the previous farce, we didn't have any trouble along the way. The Ancient Flash Sanctuary is located to the east of the Snowman's Territory, at the junction of the Snowman, Rift, and Eastern Territories.

The names of the two territories of Snowman and Rift are the same as the names of their main cities, namely Snowman and Rift City. The Eastern Territory is named after its location on the easternmost border with Morrowind in the easternmost part of Skyrim, and its main city is Windhelm, the home base of Ulfric Stormcloak.

The Lord of the Rift - his/her name doesn't matter to me - has publicly declared that he or she has joined the Stormcloak uprising, along with the Lords of the White Lands and Winter Hold. The four territories of Hafengar, Yar's Border, Ruichi, and Phocles to the west of Snowman City are still loyal to the Empire, and they regard several lords in the eastern part of Skyrim as betrayals and are at odds with them.

I don't know if the division of their camps has anything to do with their location, but I can be sure that the snow man, sandwiched between them and controlling the main transportation hubs, is not pleasant.

Although Xueman's territory is facing pressure from both sides, the lord's ambiguous neutral attitude allows Xueman to maintain peace with both sides at the same time. The Ancient Sanctuary of Glitter is located on the east side of the river, and is supposed to be the territory of the East. I didn't get too much interrogation after completing the Xueman household registration, and I easily passed the level of Storm Cloak's strength.

The ancient Sanctuary of Glitter, according to the priestess, seemed like a paradise, but when I arrived, I realized that it was the exact opposite of what I had imagined.

Deserts, wastelands, muddy, boiling pools, the bones of wild beasts everywhere, and only a few large trees and dry moss on the rocks told me that this place was not really barren.

"Uh...... Both Provantus and Danica say the place is bubbling. It's true that it's bubbling in the pool, but does it have anything to do with beauty? "I couldn't help but spit out when I confirmed that this place was indeed our destination.

Lydia didn't seem to know much either, and she explained to me in a vague voice: "Probably because of the hot springs, the surface temperature in the vicinity is too high, and it is difficult for organisms to survive, and the interior of the sanctuary may have a different view. ”

"Maybe? Haven't you been here before? ”

"The gate of the sanctuary has been blocked by huge vines, and I was helpless against it when I came before. Now that we have the dagger, we should be able to go in and find out. ”

……

The temperature here is really abnormal, and there can be such a hot and humid place in the bitter cold land to the north. When I walk out into the desert, it feels like walking from a cool, air-conditioned room to a sun-soaked outdoors in the middle of summer.

A large number of bubbles of water bubble up the pool, and these hot springs are the main culprit for the lack of vegetation in this area. The waterhole is surrounded by bare rocks or wasteland, with the occasional crack in the ground and white water vapor constantly rising from it.

People in this world will also enjoy it, and on the way I saw several men and women stripped naked and soaked in the hot springs. To avoid an embarrassing faux pas, I took Lydia away from them.

According to Lydia, the bulging bag in front of it was the entrance, and the ancient Sanctuary of Glitter was underground. We tied our horses to the side and came to the hole sealed by vines.

I took out the dagger and prepared to cut a passage through the vines. But as my dagger approached the vines, the vines suddenly shrank into the holes around them, making way for a passageway, like a mimosa. I turned my gaze to Ladia, seeking her explanation.

"Probably because of this dagger. When I came here, it was very laborious to slash with my sword, and I finally split the first layer of vines, and found that there were countless vines blocking the hole behind, so I had to give up. ”

I continued to push the dagger forward, and the vines in front of me dodged one by one. Ledia and I made our way down the gap into the depths of the cavern.

When we reached a certain depth, the original vines protruded through the holes in the wall again, sealing the intersection again.

"Lydia, what kind of vines are there to seal the entrance to the cave, isn't this a famous place of worship?"

"It is said that the sanctuary only accepts a fixed number of worshippers. Once overcrowded, the doors of the sanctuary will automatically close. ”

"It turns out that we went through the back door to plug it."

……

Unlike the desert outside the sanctuary, the air in the passage is fresh and cool, which is refreshing. The walls and floors of the cave are covered with all sorts of mosses and fungi, and even some strange lighting tools, such as jellyfish-like white and glowing fluorescent mushrooms.

Through these faint lights, Lydia and I passed through a complex and winding passage into a wonderful space.

Probably because the temperature in Skyrim Province is too low, most of the flowers and plants that are not cold-tolerant are hidden underground that cannot be reached in the cold winter. I've been amazed once before, and I'm even more amazed by the ancient Sanctuary of Glitter we're in now.

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. I've never been so close to the beauty of nature.

As far as the eye can see, it seems that all the flowers of the year are blooming in the here and now. Birds and butterflies breathe fresh air into this quiet sea of flowers, the agility of the water is like a whisper, the brightness of the light is like a smile, and nature unreservedly displays her moving body in front of me, which makes me ashamed of myself.

The most striking feature of the sanctuary is undoubtedly the sacred Mother Tree. There is nothing to describe it, it is a tree, an ancient tree, a sacred tree, a masterpiece of nature, a creature of Ginalais, standing tall on the highest point of the sanctuary in a posture of secular independence.

Stout and delicate, grand and humble, noble and kind, simple and vibrant, diametrically opposed feelings are the same in her. Dense foliage covered the entire vault of the sanctuary, and a thick trunk ran through it, and a soft light shot from the center of the dome, filling every corner of the sanctuary.

Thousands of years ago, worshippers built wooden bridges over the creek. I was stunned by the fact that the wooden bridge had come back to life, and a large number of branches and leaves had grown from the planks, enveloping the entire bridge in foliage. The water below the bridge is clear and clear, with fish moving freely through the water, and the occasional unknown bird paddling across the water.

Lydia also looked at the beautiful scenery in the sanctuary in a daze. Maybe she'd had had many adventures in Skyrim before, but what she saw was still too shocking for her. Seeing that Lydia showed a rare look of cuteness, I gently patted her on the head.

"Ahh Excuse me, Lord Baron, for my distraction, what do you command? Lydia came back to her senses in embarrassment and asked me for instructions.

"Nothing...... Let's move on. ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Not far away, a woman was sitting quietly on the riverbank, her feet hanging down, submerged in the water. Presumably she is the so-called pilgrim.

"Hello, is that the Ancient Glitter?"

"Ahh New friend, are you just like me, come to feel the beautiful light and shadow of this holy place? The woman turned around and saw our presence, and every gesture revealed a fresh scent of nature, "That is the ancient flash, the glimpse of the goddess Ginares to the present world." ”

Glimpse...... It's such a wonderful word, and a footprint left by nature inadvertently is enough to amaze me. I took a deep breath and pulled my gaze back from the distance.

"Can I get a closer look at her?"

"The roots of the mother tree are intricately enclosed and tightly enclose the trunk, making it difficult to approach."

"Xie Lu Xie," I suddenly noticed that the lady was staring at Lydia, "may I ask if there is anything wrong with my guard?" ”

"I've never heard of the Mother Tree allowing pilgrims with weapons to enter, but since you've come in, you've been approved by the Mother Tree. With all due respect, please don't spoil a single plant or tree here. ”

I nodded yes. The scenery here is so intoxicating, I would never do the act of burning the harp and boiling the crane. The only task was to fetch some sap, which seems to me to be a legitimate thing to do, but it may be ill-intentioned to these pilgrims. So I decided not to tell her that it would be better, that she had her principles, and that I had my plans.

"The breeze of Ginareth is with us."

Bidding farewell to this pilgrim, we followed the road towards the center of the sanctuary.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The sacred tree was close at hand, and the passage ahead was covered with a large number of roots, as the pilgrims said. As I had done at the beginning, I handed over the dagger, and the tendrils were withdrawn to make way for a road.

This dagger is really magical, could it be said that it is a token of Ginalais? But I couldn't find any clues from the dagger's aura that could have anything to do with Ginares.

Through the path through which the vines and roots of the tree have avoided us, the trunk of the sacred tree finally reveals itself to us.

It doesn't have any dazzling features, it's just an ordinary-looking tree, which has been standing silently here since the beginning of the creation of the world, and I don't know what the years are.

I reached out my left hand and stroked her, closing my eyes and feeling it.

She is not unknown.

A faint heartbeat? The flow of blood? Breathe quietly?

No. I withdrew my hand. These feelings are all from me, it's just that I resonate with her.

The sun and the moon pass through the sky, and the rivers travel to the earth. The ancient flash proclaims its existence in a special way, even if I can't see, smell, or touch, I can deeply feel that she is right in front of me, and it is a thick, majestic, immortal breath of life.

The right hand holding the dagger trembled slightly.

Should you really go and blaspheme her?
