Chapter XXVI Field Investigation
Crossing the Doin by boat, Lyon headed north. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
According to Emma, she lives at the intersection of mountains and forests, along the edge of the forest to the north, ending in the Endless Mountains.
The endless mountains traverse the entire continent, and the end of the north of the known world is the mountains, and there is no road to the further north, and there were people who drove north along the coastline in the past, hoping to go around the mountains to see what would be behind them, but no one returned, some people said that they encountered sea monsters, and some people said that they encountered ice floes and the ship was destroyed. At present, the mainstream view is that it is caused by ice floe, because icebergs are found floating down from the northern sea on both sides of the river every summer.
The Endless Mountains are not as bizarre as the other mountains, they are more like an artificial wall, cutting a straight path across the continent. From a distance, the top of the mountain is almost a straight line, which is more in line with the image of the city wall.
The mountain is almost vertical, there is no place to climb, and some people have tried to climb the mountain with iron picks, but in the end they only have a few more corpses under the mountain. From then on, everyone believed that the mountains were the end of the world.
Leon had no doubts about this statement before, but now that he had the memory of the earthlings, his thoughts naturally changed.
The continent of Svano is the core of the known world, surrounded by several islands. Except for the Endless Mountains, the rest of the ends are not found. That is to say, it is very likely that there are other continents, and as for whether his world is a sphere, Lyon has no way to verify it at present.
After a morning of traveling, Lyon finally reached the foot of the mountain.
Leon rode his horse into the woods, but the white horse was a little restless.
The further he went, the more obvious the White Horse's restlessness became, and he even began to rebel against Leon's command, and something deep in the woods made it uneasy, and Leon had to go alone.
Lin Zijing was surprisingly quiet, and he didn't hear a single birdsong. There were occasional neighings of white horses behind them, which echoed in the forest for a long time, and gradually even these sounds disappeared.
There were some broken branches scattered on the ground, and Leon subconsciously avoided walking, afraid to make a noise when he stepped on them. The trees in front of him were intact and there were no signs of damage, so these half-fresh branches on the ground may have been scraped out.
On the night of the rainstorm, there was no wind in the town, but Emma was blown away by the wind, most likely caused by the guy who came out of the ground, and everything needs to be investigated further to find out.
The deeper you go, the worse the scene you see.
More and more branches were broken, and Leon even saw a pestle that had been uprooted on the ground, and its branches were all gone, bare like uncleaned wood in a lumberyard.
After walking for a while, Leon reached the heartland. There was a sinking pit in the ground, like a sphere that had been cut off by two-thirds.
"This must be where that guy came out of nowhere. Leon stood up and looked down.
There is standing water in the center of the pit, which may have been left over from the last rainstorm.
Leon squatted down to take a closer look, and the whole pit surface was very smooth, and it would take a lot of work to make it like this by hand. Circling around, he didn't get much out of it.
"Who?" Leon felt a chill behind him, as if someone was staring at him. He quickly got up and turned back, but there was nothing but a fallen tree behind him.
Leon felt a little furious in his heart, and even if he didn't see anyone in front of him, he still felt that someone was staring at him in the dark, which was a strange feeling.
He drew the long sword at his waist and walked slowly forward.
After a careful search, he finally determined that there was no one.
A little closer to the pit, there were potholes, which were left by the tree being blown away, and the broken roots below could still be clearly seen. The trees further out were spared, but they fell outward around the pit.
Leon considered himself a well-read man, but this was the first time he had seen such a thing, and those strange legends had not yet recorded any creature capable of producing such powerful winds. If it was the creature that showed up in the town that night, Leon could have imagined the houses flying in the air, and his castle wouldn't have been much better.
Oddly enough, judging from the situation in front of you, that thing would cause enough damage to its surroundings that it would leave a trail wherever it went. Coupled with the heavy rain that day, there will be at least paw prints or palm prints or footprints on the ground, but there will be no around, unless they disappear out of thin air.
Unable to find where it had gone, Leon planned to go to the pit to take a look, at least that's where it appeared, and maybe there could be some clues.
There is standing water in the middle, which is crystal clear.
Leon got closer and noticed that there seemed to be something in the water.
He stepped into the water, and a cold sensation suddenly rose from under his feet. I didn't take off my shoes first, and I don't need to take them off now.
He picked up the contents of the water, which were not large in size but not small in weight, and there were some mud stains on them, which showed their original appearance after being washed in the water.
A hexahedral piece of white metal, only the size of a palm, was heavy in his hand, and it was no less light than the long sword at his waist.
Each side of it is delineated with delicate patterns, including mountains, flowing water, birds and animals, and other common things.
What is this?, Leon asked inwardly as he fiddled.
"Let's take it back and study it slowly. Leon felt his feet stiffen, he held the metal tightly and walked away, there was no suspicious trace nearby, so it was possible that the accident was related to the things in his hand.
As soon as he climbed out of the pit, he felt a force attacking from the side.
By the time we reached the Doin, it was already completely dark, and there was a fire on the other side of the river swaying in the wind.
When he came to the river, Leon saw Riley standing on the dock, his hair stirred by the cold wind from time to time, and his thin figure was particularly weak in the light of the fire.
Seeing the hat behind her, Leon knew that she hadn't been back since she came back from the lumberyard, so she stood by the dock and waited for her, even though she didn't know when she would return, she still chose to wait quietly.
Leon's heart warmed, he hadn't experienced such care for a long, long time, so long that he almost forgot that he had been cared for.
"Your Highness, I'll come right over. There was a hint of relaxation and joy in Riley's tone.
"Thank you, Riley. In the first words of the meeting, Leon did not say the results of today's investigation, but thanked Riley for all he had done.
Riley was a little embarrassed: "This is what I should do." After a while, she asked, "Your Highness, have you gained anything?"
"The harvest is still there. That is, the thing that came out of Emma's mouth has disappeared, and it can be said that there is no trace of anything other than a mess on the ground, and the town is safe for the time being. Speaking of which, Leon is still in a good mood, at least he doesn't have to worry about something coming to scratch the town.
"Disappeared, did it fly away?" Riley hadn't looked, so he had to guess.
"Or maybe it's just something exploding. Leon remembered that there was something on Earth called a bomb, and that the damage caused by the two was almost the same.
"Is there such a thing?" Riley didn't know what kind of thing an explosion could blow people away.
"I don't know. Leon shook his head, there are no bombs in this world.
There were no other suspicious discoveries today except for the stumps and large craters on the ground, and Leon was relieved to think of this.
