Chapter 19: Mysterious Blue Light
"I feel that there is something that appeals to me down there. Silver Moon stared straight at the entrance of the cave and muttered.
"Attractive to you, what could that be?" asked Gao Ge.
"I don't know. It can be something excellent, or it can be something extremely dangerous. I've never felt this way before, as if something was calling me. Yinyue's pretty face also had a complicated expression.
"Whatever it is, just go down and see. It's been okay for so many years, and a few bags of grain are suppressed, and it's probably not a particularly scary thing. Gao Ge said a few words of relief and motioned for everyone to continue deeper.
There was no one who was timid, and this huge harvest just now also encouraged everyone, and everyone was eager to try to see if this new hole could bring greater surprises.
After leaving Darigori and Charriman to continue to count and protect the vault, Gao Ge and the others rushed in and submerged in this new hole.
In the entrance of the cave, there is a steep downward staircase path, which only allows one person to pass through, and in some places there are no steps, just a foot socket carved out of the ground.
The passage was narrow, and a tall man like Hydenson had to keep his head down and hunch over certain sections of the road, and the walls were full of uneven rocks that had not been groomed at all.
Cold, this is the common feeling of everyone, and it is cold every time you take the next step.
Soon, when the people reached the aquifer, water began to seep out of the stone wall, and the further down they went, the more water there became, and in a short time they were soaked with droplets of water dripping from the top.
It was cold and wet, and the hot breath from his mouth began to turn into a white mist, but everyone was looking forward to it more and more, this place was really unusual.
Eventually, the steep staircase reached the bottom, and here was a platform, and in the center of the platform the water that trickled down from it pooled into a small pool the size of a round table.
Everyone looked around, but they didn't find any dark rooms and utensils, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised and disappointed.
"The water in this pool is never full, it must be connected to the waterways outside. Gao Ge judged.
He touched the water in the pool, and it was bitterly cold.
"I felt that what attracted me was underwater, but at great depths. Yinyue stared at the pond and suddenly ordered, "Put out the torch." ”
All of a sudden, the surroundings darkened, and the five fingers could not be seen.
But soon, the light began to shine, blue, brighter and brighter, and the surrounding scenery gradually became clear again.
It is the pool of cold water that emits blue light, the round pool is like a blue full moon embedded in the ground, gently rippling with blue light waves, and the turbulent ripples are reflected on the jagged stone wall, giving people a very strange feeling.
"There's something strange in the water, I'll go down and find out. "It was the rugged and heroic Hansjia who volunteered.
"The water is too cold. Gao Ge hesitated.
"My water nature is the best of all the people present, and if I feel anything wrong, I float right away. Hansjia said firmly.
"Well, be careful. Gao Ge nodded.
Hansjia quickly took off his clothes and took a dagger in his mouth, and instead of jumping into the water with a thud, he slid silently.
This is a rough and arrogant person on the surface, but he is actually careful, Gao Ge is relieved.
Hansjia soon vanished, and the water slowly regained its calm after a fluctuation.
After half a pillar of incense, with a "bang" sound of water, Han Sijia's head came out of the water.
The crowd gathered around the edge of the pool soon noticed that something was wrong with Han Sijia, his expression was stiff, his eyes were closed, and he stretched out a hand, which had just emerged from the water, but slowly sank.
The tall Hydson made the fastest move, grabbed Hansjia's hand with one hand, and everyone worked together to pull him up.
Han Sijia's body didn't move, and it was terrifyingly cold.
Hydson spread Hansjia's clothes on the ground and instructed everyone to place them on them, rubbing his chest up and down with his palms.
Finally, Hansjia began to tremble.
"He felt cold, no problem, rescued. Heidson said happily.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Sijia opened his eyes and said tremblingly, "Male...... Baron...... Big...... My lord, the next ...... ...... below"
"Warm up with a sip of wine. Gurley stuffed the bottle he had with him to Hansjia.
After a few sips of wine, Hansijia finally eased up.
"Lord Baron, there is definitely something terrible down there, and the further you dive, the brighter the blue light becomes. Moreover, I could vaguely see something floating underneath, but the blue light was so bright that I couldn't see it clearly. I wanted to dive deeper, but the water was getting colder and colder, and I couldn't hold on any longer. Han Sijia looked regretful.
"There is a sister in my organization who can breathe in the water after using her powers, and if she is there, she will be able to find out. "It was Silver Moon who spoke.
"Will she come to Weishan City?" asked Gao Ge.
"I've signaled that I'm going to be answering and that the organization will send someone to me soon, and I'll get back to me what's going on here. ”
"Okay!" Gao Ge nodded and said to everyone: "Since this pool is in Weishan City, it can't escape, and we have to find out about it sooner or later." Today, we will go back first, and tomorrow, there are still very important things to do. ”
......
The next morning, the sky was overcast, the rain had already begun to fall, the sky and the earth were wet, the air seemed to be able to squeeze out the water, from now on, for three whole months, there were only three kinds of weather, heavy rain, moderate rain and light rain, and the long and unbearable rainy season officially began.
The Golden Griffin Legion has assembled under Weishan City, ready to brave the rain and embark on the return journey.
"Baron Gao Ge, I have to go back in a hurry this time, and it is already the rainy season, the savanna is muddy and difficult to walk, and those seized materials will be sealed in Weishan City first, and when the dry season comes, the military will send someone to pick it up. At the gates of the city, Vasilist said goodbye to the send-off.
"I'm going to take care of them. Gao Gewei paused, and said gratefully: "Thank you to the corps commander for deliberately allocating so much food and weapons from these supplies for us to use, these are what Weishan City urgently needs at the moment." ”
"You are all people who came out of my golden griffin. Vasilist looked around at the people behind Gao Ge, "I naturally hope that you can persevere, at least, through this rainy season." ”
"We will never let down the high hopes of the army commander, and we will definitely take root in Weishan City and nail the southern barbarians to death in the forest. Gao Ge thumped his chest to show his determination, and then asked, "In addition, I would like to ask my lord if I can redeem this batch of materials sealed in Weishan City." ”
Vasilist was slightly stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "This is the material that the barbarian army has scavenged from the two border counties that have been broken through this time, and it is worth a total of nine thousand gold eagle coins according to the liquidation. That's the equivalent of a year's revenue for a medium-sized county. If you can hand over such a sum of money to the Southern Theater Command before the dry season comes, you can naturally redeem it. The military also saves the cost and wear and tear of transshipment. But, IMHO, it's too hard for you. ”
"Yes, I'm just asking. Gao Ge paused again, but he had a plan in his heart.
Nine thousand Golden Eagle Coins, which is not an unattainable huge amount of money for him now, in the underground vault, more than 23,000 Golden Eagle Coins.
"All right! Kingdom of the Gods, His Majesty the King of the Gods!" In unison of the trumpets urging the departure, the commander of the Vasilist army turned on his horse and said goodbye in a loud voice.
"Shenyu Tuyue Kingdom, His Majesty the King of Shenyu!Shenyu Golden Griffin!" Gao Ge and his party saluted in unison, and everyone's expressions were complicated.
From then on, they will say goodbye to the golden griffin who has lived for more than ten years and start a new life, a little sad, but more than expected.
Behind them, the sluggish-looking military households came out of their houses in twos and threes, standing dumbly, although they were about to start a new life, but on their faces, there was no expectation or hope at all.
......
At noon, the rain was a little lighter.
Vincent cooked a little porridge and fed it half a bowl to Landini, while he swallowed the other half, and though he was still hungry, it was all he could do, and the wheat he had harvested last year was barely enough to feed himself after he handed over to Viscount Sandra, who was as fat as a pig but as cruel as a wolf.
This surplus grain has to be left as seeds to prepare for the cultivation that will begin soon, and the rest can only be guaranteed two meals a day, one dry and one thin.
On the way, Vincent had already noticed that the land around Vishan City was extremely fertile.
However, no matter how fat it is, there is a lot of production, and I am afraid that the baron, no, it will definitely increase the proportion of handover, and what will be left to himself will always be just enough to survive.
However, the house that had been allotted to him was quite good, clean and spacious, and strangely enough, the man in charge of his own affairs never mentioned how much rent he needed, or how much food he needed to convert it into.
"Vincent, hurry up to the Peak Square, and while it's raining lightly, the Baron is going to give a speech. The elder named Zoranama shouted loudly outside the door.
Vincent had a good impression of the Zoranama who was in charge of their hundred households, and he did not call out to himself, and strangely, he did not reach out to him to ask for even a bronze eagle as a gift.
In the world, there are good people after all, even if there are very few, Vincent thought to himself as he promised to walk out the door.
As he made his way up the straight steps, Vincent met several acquaintances, all of whom had been recruited from the same viscounty.
"Vincent, is Landini better?" asked the bearded Daddy Stiller.
"It's not the same as it used to be!" Vincent shook his head blankly.
"What a woman!" said Daddy Stiller with a heavy sigh.
"Ahem, Daddy Stiller, where's your little Kevin?" asked the skinny monkey-like Sierief, coughing incessantly.
"What can I do if I'm crippled, and now I'm an old man to support me, and when I kick my legs, how can this kid live!" Daddy Stiller's grassy white beard trembled slightly.
Stiller's father's only son, Kevin, fell off the scaffolding and broke his legs while repairing the lord's castle last year, but he didn't even receive compensation for a son.
"Sieriv, what about you, the cough seems to be getting worse. Vincent glanced at West Elev, who was coughing and his back was hunched.
"Alas, they all ate too much ash in the lord's mine. If you can't do it, you'll be kicked out, it's all fate!
Everyone fell silent, and walked up on their legs, yes, it's all fate, what can be done!
Only Sieriv was still babbling: "We are all sinners, but in this hellish place, there is not even a church, and there is no place to atone for our sins." Forgive me, Lord God!"
Sieriv was also a poor man, he was a pneumoconiosis patient, he could not do heavy work, his wife and son were missing in the flash flood three years ago, leaving only a daughter, he became a godly and became a devout believer, giving all his poor possessions to the church.
