Chapter 522: The Hero King
Suddenly, small furry animals flashed through the forest, and they either frolicked among the trees, or stopped to eat the young shoots on the trees, and suddenly the whole dense forest was alive.
When Al saw them, he remembered the snow leopard he had seen, he had been puzzled by how such a ferocious beast survived in such an environment, and now he knew where the snow leopard's food came from.
"It's incredible, what kind of trees are these trees?", said Nightingale in a slightly trembling voice, such a tree species was of great significance to their elves.
She walked over to a tree and looked closely, "Strange, it looks like an ordinary hardy tree, nothing special?", she wondered as she stroked the tree.
"Have you noticed that the temperature here is much warmer?", Levi said suddenly, crouching down and touching the snow on the ground, "The snow is also a lot softer, and it is wet underneath, and it seems that some of the snow has melted." ”
When Levi said this, everyone suddenly realized that the temperature in this dense forest was unconsciously warmer. Since they came slowly all the way, they didn't even notice it after getting used to it.
"I see, because the temperature is warmer, these trees have survived, and the trees on the outskirts of Atlantis have all died. Saruman also put his hand into the snow and measured.
"It's true that the snow underneath is showing signs of melting. He pulled his hand back and rubbed it a few times, his fingertips still a little wet.
"But why is the temperature here different from outside? Could it be that the Eight Array Diagram can even change the weather? This is impossible! Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind to predict the time of the day, if he really had the ability to change the weather, Shu would have unified the three kingdoms a long time ago. Al thought silently.
Everyone was puzzled and could not understand the cause of this wonderful phenomenon.
"Hurry up and get to the center of the circle, Medea is still waiting there. Once you get there and unlock the secrets of Atlantis, you'll naturally understand what this principle is. Al said.
So the group set out on the road again, and after walking for about half a day, they finally reached their destination.
A snow field surrounded by trees and devoid of any other debris. It is as if a skilled craftsman had measured it with a ruler, forming a perfectly perfect circle.
The thick rope was tied to a large tree, but strangely Medea was not visible.
"Medea, where are you?", Al shouted loudly, calling several times before Medea's voice came from behind a large tree, "I'm here!"
Everyone walked around, only to find that a deep pit had been dug behind the big tree, and Medea's voice came from there.
Al walked over, and could faintly see Medea's buttocks still pouting outside, lying inside with her whole body lying inside, not knowing what she was doing.
"What are you doing in there?", Al shouted from the pit.
"Wait a minute!", Medea returned, and after a while she finally crawled out of the hole, her face covered in mud and snow, and she looked like a crazy girl in the countryside.
However, the dirtiness on her face did not hide the excitement on her face at this time, Medea grabbed a handful of clay in her hand and handed it to Al, "Touch it." ”
Al touched it with his hand, sticky and a little warm, "This is ......"
"Dig out from under the roots of this tree. "Don't you think it's strange how these trees survive in such a hostile environment?"
"Then I thought that trees depend on their roots to survive, so I dug into their roots to see what the mystery was. ”
The others took turns touching the handful of dirt, "There was moisture, but the most important thing was that the dirt was a little warm, not obvious, but it was!", Levy concluded.
"Yes, it's important. "So the crux of the matter is, why is the soil here hot? ”
"So there must be something strange hidden in the dirt here. Saruman said.
Al nodded, looked at the round snow behind him, and said, "So what we have to do now is to completely open this place and dig as deep as possible." ”
So everyone stopped talking nonsense and started to work hard. Originally, this was the time when earth magic came into play, but El and the others were afraid that using large-scale earth magic would destroy secrets, items, or magic circles that might be buried in the soil. So they decided to roll up their sleeves and dig with manpower.
This exhausted everyone, and among them in their group, Levy and Saruman were old people who couldn't do much. And Medea and pandan grass usually use magic to solve problems, and physical work has never been their strong point. In the end, the only ones who can really come in handy are Al and Nightingale.
Al wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, panting from exhaustion. He didn't know how long he had been digging, only that he had already dug almost half the size of a basketball court according to the standard of digging three feet into the ground. With a sore back, he looked at the nightingale opposite, her progress was much faster than Al's, and looking at her lean appearance, there was no tiredness in the slightest.
As for Medea and pandan, they were already too tired to start fishing.
"It is worthy of being a warrior among the dark elves, not to mention strength and agility, even endurance is beyond the reach of humans, the darling of nature, it is really enviable. Al thought with jealousy.
Suddenly, the nightingale shouted as if she had dug something: "Here!
Hearing the news, everyone rushed up to see what the nightingale had dug up.
The nightingale was in the middle of the circle, and she dug very deep, and just under her feet, a black stone corner peeked out of the dirt.
"Dig it out!", Al shouted excitedly, and the others were too excited.
The nightingale dug out the whole stone in one go, and its style looked like an ordinary stone tablet, perhaps because of its age, the words on it were blurred.
Al leaned forward, struggling to distinguish word by word, and read it out loud: "Silori Relote erects a monument here." ”
"Silori Relot, isn't that the name of the Hero King?", Medea exclaimed.
