Chapter 158: The Giant's Palace
Black clouds overheaded, torrential rain poured.
The earth shook, the mountains shook, and the flood was monstrous.
Every now and then, there would be a loud roar of rocks falling off, smashing against the mountain wall, and rolling into the water.
Leon clung to the trunk of the tree as he watched the muddy flood rolling from between the mountain passes get closer and closer.
With a roar, the old tree that had grown for an unknown number of years under his feet finally uprooted and fell down, and was swept away by the rolling torrent.
The two fell into the water one after another, and in the dim mud, Li Ang almost lost all his five senses, and his body was like a fried bean in a wok, hitting countless boulders and trees in a row.
My head is drowsy.
The heavenly power is immense, even if it is an extraordinary person, in the face of this awe-inspiring heavenly might, he can only flee in embarrassment.
After a long time, the storm finally cleared, the clouds cleared, and the furious land returned to calm, but the whole island was in shambles.
Covered in mud, Leon ripped the mud off his head, climbed onto a rock, and lay on his back like a dead dog, gasping for breath.
After a long time, he regained some strength, and he pulled out a bottle of potion and poured it into his stomach with the ache from his limbs.
His body was covered in bruises, and many bones had been broken by the violent impact that had just been severed.
Moreover, he had just fought fiercely with the Hunter Demon, and his magic power was consumed, and it was difficult to urge the bloodline immortal body to repair his injuries.
After resting for a while, he finally felt the sharp pain in his body lessen a lot, and he stood up and looked around, searching for traces of Luojia.
He didn't worry about Loga's safety, as an undead, it was almost impossible for a physical attack to destroy him.
But at this moment, he turned his head to look at the mountain where the village had been, and his pupils gradually dilated, and a palpable astonishment emerged from them.
In the middle of the mountain, large areas of rock and soil were stripped of by the storm.
It reveals a marble staircase that stretches from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, and at the end of the staircase is a magnificent and majestic complex of buildings.
Between the clouds, there is a golden glow sprinkled on the top of the mountain, the building complex, brilliant, like the palace of the gods!
"That's the root of this storm"
"But it's too coincidental, could it be that the Storm Lord's thunder that I triggered caused it to be pulled and manifest into the world"
His brow furrowed, and he hesitated to go in and explore.
At that moment, a familiar hoarse voice sounded from behind.
"Brother, what's that?"
Looking back, Lorga, covered in mud, was limping towards him.
At this time, Luo Jia was even more miserable than Leon, his clothes were ragged, like a beggar, his skin was obviously damaged, maybe the bones were broken and out of place, and he took it back alive.
But Leon knew very well that it just looked miserable, and this kind of injury was not as serious as the knife mark on his chest for Luo Jia.
Li Ang shook his head and said, "I don't know, this should be an ancient relic hidden in the mountain, and it definitely has extraordinary power." ”
"Miracles"
Loga's eyes lit up.
Most of the miracles in Northern Europe have been explored and reduced to ruins, but this one clearly seems to be intact.
"Perhaps. ”
Unable to say anything, Leon took out the statue of the goddess Scati and asked, "Skaty, do you know the origin of this palace in the mountain?"
Scati's illusory figure condensed, her expression was cold, she stared at the palace for a long time, and said, "It's the architectural style of the Frost Giant. ”
The Frost Giants are the sworn enemies of the Norse gods, but this is not absolute, just as Odin's mother was the giantess Bestra, and Scati was originally a member of the Frost Giants, but later turned to the side of the gods, became the goddess of winter, and betrothed to the god of summer, Neod.
Scati wasn't sure, "Maybe it's the palace that the Frost Giant built in the Overworld, I don't have any memories of this place in my memory." ”
Leon asked frankly, "What can we get if we explore here?"
Scati still shook his head: "Maybe it's a treasure, a broken artifact, maybe it's just the remains of a giant, or even nothing, but I'm pretty sure it's dangerous there." ”
Leon looked at Luo Jia and asked, "Do you think we should explore the ruins, or go straight home?"
Luo Jia said very frankly: "Of course it is exploration! If it is really the ruins of the frost giants, it has been at least a thousand years there, and even if it is a high sequence, it has been sealed under the ground for more than a thousand years, and it is now extremely weak. ”
"Skaty, do you have a good relationship with your kind?"
"Nope. ”
Scati shook his head, "They call me a traitor, and besides, I only have a remnant of my thoughts left, and I don't have any face to sell." ”
Leon nodded: "Then let's explore." ”
Scati: "......"
So what's the use of you asking me this question
Leon explained, "I was worried that stealing your people's tombs would offend you, but since you said that you don't have a good relationship with your kind, this problem will be solved. ”
So that's it......
Scati nodded in satisfaction, "It's me who blames you." If nothing else, I'll go back to sleep, remembering our agreement. ”
"Good. ”
Scati reverts into the statue as a streamer.
Leon and Lorgar climbed the stairs halfway up the mountain.
Soon they came to the gate of the palace, where two bronze giants' faces were printed on the door.
The giant's face on the left wears a golden crown with a thick beard, while the one on the right wears a silver crown with no beard and a hollow look.
"Who are they?"
Leon politely woke up Scati and asked.
"I don't know, since I entered Asgard, I've lived in isolation, maybe some young giants of the next generation. ”
Li Ang said: "I thought it was the king of giants. ”
"The Giant King would not leave Joseheim easily, and he made Odin his lifelong rival, and the giants who lived in the mortal world were also qualified to wear the crown and become the kings of mankind or any other race. ”
"I see. ”
Leon said, motioning for Lorgar to stand on the other side, intending to see if they could use brute force to open the two seemingly heavy doors.
Originally, it was just an attempt, but this push found that the two heavy stone gates were actually pushed, revealing a dark and deep passage inside.
Behind the gate, there are two large candlesticks with candle oil extracted from seal and white bear fat, which glow brightly when lit.
They made their way along the tunnel, which was clearly reserved for tall giants, and was therefore extremely spacious, without feeling cramped or cramped.
Soon, the road ahead was cut off.
Overhead, a large square skylight opened up to the dome, and below, presumably a large pool of water, the walls were covered with moss, with clear signs of water drying up.
