"Do you believe that there are gods in the world, but you don't believe that the Nile comes from the underworld?"

"It sounds like I'm wrong," Magellan said with a smile as he walked to the bottom of the towering cliff and looked up at the upright rock wall, "I've always been like this." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"I didn't bring any useful magic tools, and I didn't have any magic to send us up. ”

"No way, just follow my stupid way. ”

Magellan placed his large, heavy backpack by the river and began to pick and choose from it, and finally he had in his hand a bundle of rope and a dozen steel drills, as well as a large sledgehammer.

"It's going to be boring, maybe you should find a nice place to see the scenery. ”

The countess frowned in an extremely rare way, and then she shook her head and smiled.

"It's only going to be for a moment...... though," she said as she walked over to Magellan, picked up a steel drill from the ground, and began to back away, "don't tell me what you see." ”

"Huh?"

Magellan did not understand what the countess meant, and then his doubts were interrupted by shock.

For a moment, he was confronted with a terrifying monster, more terrifying than the hydra that had nearly killed him, more terrifying than the Sandstorm Lord Seth, something completely beyond the limits of human comprehension.

It was a metal beast, a silver body that combined the softness of liquid with the coldness of steel, a soul that had never understood the world in it, descending into this world that was patheticly small.

And then that moment was over.

Magellan shook his head and pulled himself out of his trance, looked at the smile on the countess's face in front of him, and struggled to squeeze a drop of cloudy paste out of his chaotic mind.

"What...... What?"

"We don't have a lot of time, so we can at least save a little bit of trouble. ”

Magellan looked up at the extra steel drill on the cliff, then at the back of the countess leaving, and finally gave up the delusion of figuring out what had just happened.

He wound the rope into a knot, aimed at the steel drill on the cliff, and threw it.

The knot was put on the steel drill, and Magellan pulled it violently, and then he tied it tightly, and then Magellan tied one end of the rope to his waist, and carried a hammer on his back, and a steel drill was inserted in his waist, and the other end of the rope was hung on his shoulder, and he climbed towards the top of the cliff.

The Countess had chosen a clever position, just where the rope could reach, and above it was a stretch of land that could barely be climbed, where the cliffs were cracked and formed fissures and treacherous footholds, at least not like the one below that was impossible to start at all.

Magellan put the weight of his body on his waist, took a breath, and began to climb.

It's not an easy thing to do, but it's not unbearable either, the cliffs aren't upright at least, and there are cracks and protrusions in the rock walls where you can settle down.

Many times, Magellan thought in his heart that maybe it was time to stop and drive the steel drill into the cliff, and then he himself denied it, which was a completely irrational feeling, but Magellan himself did not resist it.

By the time he finally felt it was time to lay the drill, the cliff had already been trampled under Magellan's feet.

In front of me is the second waterfall, on both sides of the river are the traces left by the water cutting the boulders, the river is very clear, there is not even sand on the bank.

The deep pool formed by the impact of the waterfall is surrounded by dense shrubs, mist steaming, and a huge roar is endless.

Magellan's gaze crossed the top of the cliff where the waterfall fell, and in the distance was another earthy yellow cliff.

It is a group of waterfalls where a natural coincidence creates a chain of cliffs and then places it on the path of the great river.

Magellan chose his position and nailed the drill.

......

While the countess was jumping up the cliff with Miss Betty, Magellan was struggling through the bushes by the waterhole, approaching the foot of the cliff.

"Meow. ”

"We're lucky, right. ”

The countess jumped lightly onto the rocks and followed Magellan's trail through the waterside barrier of rugged rocks and dense bushes to the foot of the falls.

"Meow. ”

Miss Betty's cry had barely left her throat when it was shattered by the sound of the waterfall.

Magellan gestured to the countess, and then climbed up the cliff.

As if dissatisfied with his cries being ignored, the kitten jumped off the countess's shoulder and leaped up the cliff like a black lightning bolt, and gave a silent taunt to Magellan.

The countess followed Miss Betty lightly, leaving Magellan below and disappearing over the cliff.

Magellan struggled to climb a section of smooth rock face, stopped to take a breath of vapor-filled air, and then continued his climb.

When he reached the top of the cliff, he saw a wide dirt road.

The road came from beyond the mountains, winding through the cliff slopes and into a cave.

The Countess was standing in front of the cave with Miss Betty, and when the kitten saw Magellan, she let out a loud cry full of mockery.

Magellan walked into the cave, only to find that it had been blocked by collapsed earth and rock.

"We're not unlucky, but we're not good enough, are we?"

"Anubis doesn't seem to be a god who needs to build a grand temple......"

"But many ancient Emunkai people followed this god to learn about the underworld and the eternal journey, and although their whereabouts were secretive, many believed that they had built a grand monastery in the territory of Anubis, amassed wealth, and waited for the journey to begin. ”

"The Rich Man's Secret Garden, huh. ”

Magellan's smile was as flirtatious as any before, and he turned and walked out of the cave, looking up at another waterfall in the distance.

It was a different picture from the two waterfalls below, where the water was left on the gentle slope and divided into a series of small cascades of various sizes by jagged rocks, which eventually converged at the base of the cliff into a very wide and shallow stream, which then flowed through a narrow stone platform before falling down to form the next waterfall.

Magellan and the countess waded through the current, went up the road a little further, and climbed up one side of the hill.

At this time, the sound of the waterfall finally moved away from them, the slope of the mountain was gentle, and a trace of white clouds passed by the sun in the sky, and when the two of them turned back, they could see the waterfall rushing down the edge of the cliff, and the Nile River meandered on the plain in the distance, the green of the river was completely different from the earthy yellow of the desert on both sides, like a scar torn by some powerful force.

When the two of them climbed the hillside, all they saw was an empty flat land, and a ruin on the flat land.

"That's the convent of the rich?"

"Yes, a tomb with countless gold buried inside. ”
