"It's those guys...... They ran into the wandering bear. Sophia whispered.

Not far away, there was a fierce gunfire, mixed with the roar of a bear, and it seemed that it was a very tragic fight.

Taking advantage of the fierce struggle between the brown bear and the people of the Holy Trinity, the four of them crept into the bear cave to find the road marked with a dotted line on the map.

The cave was unusually foul-smelling, and there were leftover bones from bears, many of which looked like they had been left by humans.

Nan Xiao had to suppress his olfactory acuity to a minimum. There are also downsides to being too sensitive to perception. The moment I first entered the bear cave, I almost fainted from the stench.

It looks like a monument, with a lot of fragments left over from ancient armies. It seems that the Mongol troops who came to conquer Kit City lived here. Laura found a parchment scroll that recorded some of the records left by the Trinity's pursuit of the Prophet.

Laura brings her expertise to good use as an archaeologist. She looked along the wall of the cave and soon found what looked like it had been temporarily sealed. "These bricks are different from other places," she said, "and they should be able to be broken." ”

Nan Xiao kicked up, and the brick wall broke a big hole. The cold wind from the ice and snow world blew in, sweeping away the foul air in the bear cave. Thankfully, saved.

Behind the wall is a magnificent world of ice and snow. The ice cave winds its way into the uncharted depths. Such a huge project could not be completed manually, and it was even more impossible in ancient times.

"It's ...... "The ancient landforms," said Laura, in astonishment, "melted and collapsed, and then froze again, and so on and so forth, and the ancient ground gradually sank into the ground...... Siberia, it's amazing. ”

Like Laura said, it's a museum. Frozen ruins of buildings can be seen everywhere. There are even horse-drawn carriages frozen in the ice walls. The horse had been reduced to a dry skeleton. At first, it and the carriage may have stumbled into the swamp, and the skeleton vividly maintained the appearance of struggling.

After a little progress along the ice cave, they saw a beautiful sight.

No one would believe it was true unless they saw it with their own eyes. In the deep underground ice cave, they actually saw a Byzantine warship! It is frozen in a canyon and should be accessible along the mist-filled cliff trail. There are planked roads on the ice walls, probably left behind by the sailors.

"We should go to that ship," said Laura, "and there must have been a very wonderful story going on there." ”

Nan Xiao looked at Sophia and Barbo. These two people are relatively weak, far less strong than Laura's internal organs, and even less comparable to Nan Xiao. Laura only felt a little cold. And the two of them were already blue from the cold, and their teeth were chattering.

"Laura," he reminded, "we need to find a warmer place, set up camp, and rest." ”

Laura followed Nanxiao's line of sight and saw Sophia and Barbo shivering. "I'm sorry," she said from her fever in the archaeological frenzy, "and we're going." ”

"No, maybe you really ought to see," said Sophia, "and I remembered that the people of the Holy Trinity were blasting and digging all over the place like crazy, not sparing anything with a little history. They seem to have discussed the 'Holy Grail War' as well, and they are looking for a way to 'awaken the Heroic Spirits'...... I'm sorry, but I couldn't think of anything because I was just running for my life. ”

Looking for a way to awaken the Heroic Spirit? Nan Xiao secretly thought that the rumors spread through Xiao P began to work.

When he came back from Syria, he kept trying to find a way to dig a pit for the Holy Trinity. This includes concocting a lot of legends about the Holy Grail War. Famous figures in history are arranged one by one, what Artoria Pendragon, Cúchulainn, Medea, Gilgamesh, Hassan Sabah...... In short, one is arranged for both famous and unnamed. Now that many library documents are digitized, there is no pressure on Xiao P to stuff some specious "scans of ancient scroll fragments" into the database.

The Holy Trinity was so active in digging a hole in Siberia probably because it was stimulated by the death of Bishop Calvin. If you want to get the Divine Source first, you have a very urgent mentality.

Unfortunately, if you go in the wrong direction from the beginning, you won't be able to reach the right end.

"In that case, let's go and have a look on the boat."

There is a wooden passage on the ice wall on the right, and you will come to the edge of the cliff by walking along the passage. The battleship was stuck headfirst in the frozen ravine, and the mast was sticking out in this direction. Laura easily jumped onto the mast, walked along the mast like a balance beam, and jumped onto the broken deck of the ship.

Sophia and Barbo watched Laura's performance with their mouths slightly open. Those actions, they can't even think of. The balance and strength are slightly worse, and it is immediately the end of falling into the frozen canyon.

Nan Xiao hugged one in one hand and hugged the two of them like babies.

Laura is studying a scene near the broken deck. There were five frozen corpses here, two sitting, and three apparently falling or being thrown from above. She searched and found a letter from a seated corpse. It is written on tough sheepskin, sealed in a brass letterbox, and is well preserved.

"The Maria Adela is trapped," she whispered, "and the keel of the ship was broken in two when the ice cracked. But it doesn't matter. I had planned to use the ship's cannons against the False Prophet, but now I had to abandon the ship and advance on foot. I have six elite companions who are also part of the Holy Trinity, and I have enough food and supplies in secret stockpiles. Let the crew continue to starve. They are about to fall victim to a great goal, but their fate is not yet known. My companions and I will leave them behind and continue our mission. But first, I had to take a break. The cold air kept getting into my bones, and I felt very tired, so I just had to take a little rest......"

I didn't finish this letter, so I guess the person who wrote it was really tired. Anyway, he sat down to rest and didn't get up.

The Maria Adela was badly damaged. It's only the first half that gets stuck in the canyon. The second half remains on top of the frozen canyon. Laura decided to go up and have a look. Nan Xiao agreed.

The left hand and right hand were occupied by Sophia and Barbo, and Nan Xiao suggested that Laura ride on her neck and take her to fly.

However, Laura firmly refused. "I'll climb up on my own." She was quite stubborn when she was stubborn.

Use your climbing axe to smash into the ice and wooden beams and climb upwards. Laura came to the second floor. She cleverly used the winch left over from the ancient ship to shake an anchor-like thing back and forth to smash the way. Before the ice collapsed, she jumped neatly onto the small platform opposite, climbed up the ice wall, and finally reached the upper half of the frozen canyon. It was here that the battleship broke the keel and left the tail warehouse on it.
