Chapter Seventy-Four: The Wind's Nest
It is a pyramid-shaped structure, but taller than all the pyramid-shaped temples in the New World rainforest and in the Empire, with layers of boulders visible from the outside, a very steep slope, and no upward stairs. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info There are four tall stone doors on all sides of the building leading to the interior of the building, and at the same time providing light, and the interior of the building is an open hall, and the top can directly see the huge stones that form the outer wall.
Magellan wasn't sure it was a temple or anything else, but there was a vague guess. For the rest of the team, it didn't matter.
The guide was working with the eagles to build the camp, dividing the interior of the building into several different areas so that the alpacas and eagles had a place to rest while the supplies were taken down and piled in the center.
"Have you found your way?"
Like a monkey in the rainforest, Magellan hangs from the top of a boulder-built building, moving on it with only two hands, looking crumbling.
"I see, but it's a bit of a hassle on the way, and I'll have to go over and take a look. ”
The Eagle Man is not a professional explorer, in fact, Magellan is the only one in this team who has traveled in completely unfamiliar places, so now he is the only one who can find a way out.
"Need help?"
"Not yet," Magellan smiled as he sat down by the fire, "the turbulence in the city is very abnormal, I'm fine, I'm afraid the eagle people will be blown away." ”
Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "More than that, we will be torn apart." ”
The guide was busy calming the hard-working alpacas, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but speak: "There will indeed be places on the mountain where there is a strong wind, but it is turbulent...... How is that possible?"
Magellan smiled, remembering his old self, and took three small pieces of wood from his hand.
"The special topography can lead to wind expansion and changes in wind direction, and it's really not surprising that there is turbulence, at least in the city. ”
As he spoke, Magellan used a piece of wood to demonstrate to the guide how the wind changed after passing through the horn, convincing him that the city was indeed very dangerous.
"So how can I help?"
The guide was indeed frightened, but the sense of honor of being part of the empire kept him going, and the young warrior was determined to help the outsiders on this journey, which was his mission.
"Providing us with the necessities, including something to make a fire, and food, this labyrinth will take us a lot of time, enough for us to starve to death. ”
"In the Empire, even a weak shepherd boy dares to walk into the uninhabited mountains alone, as long as he has a herd of alpacas by his side, then the boy can survive," the guide smiled and patted the long neck of an alpaca beside him, "Don't worry. ”
Magellan took a sip of water and nodded: "Then the real problem will wait until the front." ”
"Beware of turbulence......" the eagleman said and sighed, "if there is no road to cross, then ......"
"Can you tell me about the turbulence you feel?" Magellan had a guess that the conditions under which turbulence was actually formed were very harsh, so he already had a little idea of the cause of turbulence here, "anything." ”
The eaglemen nodded, and began to describe the turbulence of death they felt.
The eagle people's sight and hearing were far superior to those of ordinary humans, and in their eyes, the city was shrouded in turbulence, and those terrifying air currents formed a bird's nest that completely took over the entire city.
Listening to the eagleman's description, Magellan's guess gradually became clear.
......
In the afternoon, a sudden white cloud obscured the sun, the sky was blue like a windless lake, and the wind on the hillside became softer.
Magellan, who had just taken a nap, walked out of the building, followed by a guide and several alpacas, and the two were going to get water from the water source that Magellan had seen, and then the guide and the alpaca carrying the water bladder returned to the camp, and Magellan went to the front to explore the way.
Along the way, there are ruins or well-preserved buildings, built of huge stones and carved on the outside, which look spectacular and ornate.
Magellan instinctively observed everything he could see, speculating like a true archaeologist about the age of the city and its former owners, but for some reason, he always felt that he could not find the answer.
One question that always haunted him was that the city wasn't supposed to be.
It's normal for small cities such as fortresses and religious cities to be built on cliffs deep in the mountains, but a bustling commercial city should never be in such a place. Along the way, Magellan has seen more than once a market of considerable size, with smooth and wide roads, and neat shops, and the city is exactly what should never be a commercial metropolis in this place.
Magellan was able to convince himself that there was a plausible explanation for all this, but he had no idea what that explanation was.
The guide was also so shocked by the magnificent ruined city that he was speechless, and the two of them were silent all the way, and then at a well, the guide fetched water and went back.
Only Magellan remained, and he began to make the route more efficient.
Anyone who walks through a maze will find it incredibly easy to climb over the walls as soon as he starts to climb over the walls. This is the case with Magellan today, and when he climbs over the ruins of collapsed buildings, he can feel the feeling of people walking in the city all the way.
Soon, Magellan followed the avenue that ran through the middle of the hillside to the first trench he saw.
It was a cliff.
Some terrifying force caused the mountain to crack, and the cracks that appeared in the middle formed deep valleys, and the cliffs cut off the city completely.
There is no way here.
Magellan listened to the terrifying howl of the wind, and looked cautiously towards the deep ravine, which, as he had assumed, had an exit from the sewers and a chaotic turbulence.
It was a complete split, but Magellan hadn't given up yet.
Carefully dodging the turbulence that was beginning to show its power, he climbed a tall tower, searching for possible pathways on it.
The buildings on both sides of the cliff are distinctly different from those on the lower levels, and they look like they were made of random stones, and although they are made of the same boulders and have the same ornamentation, they just give people a more hurried and practical feeling.
Magellan did not find a place on the cliff to pass through, and there was indeed a place not far away, but I don't know if it was by chance or some unknown necessity, there was a turbulence in the place where it could be jumped.
This is not unexpected, but Magellan made new discoveries near the two boulders that were close to each other.
There seems to have been a very tall building there.
