Chapter 60: The Pillars
Magellan stood in front of the gap and looked at the column, carefully brushing away the dirt from it, and began to make out the runi script carved on the surface.
"The tribes from the north made their way with great difficulty, leaving corpses in the wind and snow, and finally came to the front of the high mountains. ”
"That was the last obstacle, and the leader had been enlightened, and he led the people over the mountains, up the icy cliffs, over the snowy paths, and finally ......"
The story comes to an abrupt end here, as the unbroken runes are all here, and the rest is still sealed inside the walls.
"Finally they were on the top of a steep hill and saw greenery, and the people were ecstatic, like a revelation from the chieftain, that they had overcome the last obstacle, and now, Paradise was at hand," Valkyrie smiled and covered her left eye with one hand, continuing the story, "That's the Valley of the South Wind, the great pit left by Thor's hammer, the sanctuary of mortals. ”
Magellan smiled and shook his head, then took out the blindfold and put it on.
"I actually forgot...... It should have been thought of in the first place. ”
In his blindfolded vision, the obscuration of the walls vanished, and the runi script seemed to be cast in gold, so clear, so bright.
Then the tribe began to build homes, they erected fences to keep their livestock, they built altars to worship the gods, and eventually, the well-fed leader knew it was time for him to build a longhouse. ”
So a huge tree was cut down, stripped of its bark, engraved with a blessing, and erected on the ridge of the longhouse.
"But there is no mention of the battlefield between the Frost Giants and the Fire Giants in this story. ”
It was a secret port in the hands of the ancestors of the Esyad people in the records of the Schmidt family, which provided shelter for the family members during the heyday of the Esyard pirates, and was the starting point for the "green land".
"This room is too low. ”
Brunhilde's words had no beginning or end, but Magellan immediately understood what she meant.
The building was too low to accommodate the beams of a longhouse, so at this corner, only half of the beams, and the other half, which should be in the other corner, might have the information Magellan wanted.
Magellan turned, and in his vision of the unknown, another beam inscribed with runi characters appeared.
He carefully bypassed the garbage and stagnant water behind the house and came to another corner.
"Glory of the Ancestors......"
The previous story has ended, and it is a complete record of the origin of the beams, and this part is the story of the ancestors of the Esyad tribe before they began to migrate.
This was exactly what Magellan wanted, and he skimmed the vaguely exaggerated praise at the front and looked down for records of the port.
After a long eulogy of "green space", the following section finally appears about the port.
"The Frost Giant and the Fire Giant met on the seashore and fought furiously, they were evenly matched, day and night, and both sides went into the sea, and then, by the power of the sea, the Frost Giant had the upper hand, and he attacked the Fire Giant like a blizzard in the long winter......"
Magellan sighed helplessly, this was exactly the same story as in the Schmidt family records, and he saw no new clues.
Then the Fire Giant finally fell, and this terrifying presence made the Great Earthquake tremble, the mountains cracked, and he sprayed hot blood everywhere before he died, and the Frost Giant could not dodge it, and was also knocked to the ground. ”
"Eventually, the battle created a great spectacle, with the bodies of the two giants stacked on top of each other to form a new peak, but it was in the sea, so the summit had just surfaced to form an island. ”
What followed was a description full of exaggerations and metaphors, and the island was fully glorified, but still, Magellan did not see the clue he was looking for.
"Schools of fish with bright red heads and dark blue bellies swimming in the sea......," Magellan sighed helplessly and stopped, "there are no such fish at all." ”
"No," said Brunhilde, who had been standing quietly on the side, "I am very impressed that such a school of fish exists. ”
Magellan looked at the Valkyrie in amazement.
"Do you know where?"
"Of course, right in the north by the sea, I won't forget it, because it's so rare. ”
This was the clue that Magellan had been looking for, and he never imagined that the clue would appear so easily.
"Do you know how to get there?"
Valkyries don't necessarily know how to get to the places she has been, for them, most of the time they go to a place they feel the breath of battle in the Divine Domain, and then they will descend to the mortal world, and after the battle, they will return to the Divine Domain with the Heroic Spirit, and they will not know much about the location of that place and the nearby places.
Unfortunately, Magellan's final destination, "Greenland", is the kind of place that Brunhilde has been to but doesn't know where, so Magellan wonders if she knows the way to the island.
"The northern coast is the battlefield of the Esyadians, where I have searched for the spirits of the fallen countless times, and it is probably the most familiar place to me besides Hellwanstein Castle. ”
......
Edward stayed on the coast, and he did not join the expedition to the Loren Holy See, because the captain felt that it was better for a captain not to go too far from his ship.
Then, a few days later, Edward waited for the explorers who had returned from the Holy See.
He began to rejoice that he hadn't followed.
Those explorers fell into the trap.
The explorer told the captain everything that happened.
They searched for anything of value at the empty site of the Holy See, but found nothing, and then someone walked into the church and never came out again.
By the time other explorers found out about the problem, it was too late.
The explorers who had just become science believers presided over a sacrifice in the church, turning all the living people in Loren City, including the suburbs, into science fanatics.
And the sporadic survivors, the explorers who happened to be outside the scope of this miracle, eventually entered the city out of curiosity and became believers.
It had been several days since the news broke, and the ritual had finally ended, and the explorers who had entered later began to discover the truth, and they were afraid and unwilling to leave, preparing to gather an army of explorers before entering Loren.
"Science may allow the king of the world to live to see the new world, and even leave a place for Elizabeth the Great under his throne, but no explorer can escape the Last Judgment, and we are all guilty. ”
When the explorer said this, his face was full of nonchalant smiles.
