Chapter 757: Underground River

Lin Ye and his party stayed for three days at the location of Shadow City marked on the map, and then went to several nearby locations. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

These locations are all based on records where someone has seen Shadow City, and of course Lin Ye knows very well that what people see is a mirage.

However, he still had to make calculations at these coordinates, and it was not until dusk on the sixth day that he stopped in a vast wilderness.

The nearby forest is very dense, but it is far away from the location of Shadowcity on the map, and the surrounding mountains are undulating and the sky is vast.

"We've been looking for so long, and we haven't found Shadow City, my lord, he's too stubborn, hey, I said old man, haven't you been to that place? ”

Crouff led the war horse to eat grass beside him, he tore off a weed in his hand and chewed it in his mouth, although it was peaceful these days, there was no war.

However, he always felt that such days were too empty and unreal, and he was used to the life of sprinting at the enemy at any time on horseback.

Suddenly relaxing like this still made him a little uncomfortable, and he asked the Great Elder next to him, after all, he had really been to Shadow City.

"The light of the Tower of Darkness guides us forward, and we only need to follow the Tower of Darkness to reach the location of Shadow City, but now that the Tower of Darkness is gone, there is no lighthouse to guide us in the direction, so I can't find out the exact location, and I am very sorry for this. ”

The Great Elder shook his head, once upon a time the Tower of Darkness was the supreme symbol in their hearts, and they would worship the Tower of Darkness every day.

And every year on the day of the festival, they will travel long distances to the Dark Tower to reach the holy place they think of as a pilgrimage.

The process takes about a month, and they bring with them some handicrafts of their own making.

However, unlike the Church of Light, which requires believers to offer everything to the Goddess of Light, the followers of the Dark Curia go to Shadow City.

They exchange their crafts with others, and can even receive a gift from the Dark God from Shadowcity.

Therefore, this month-long Hajj is more like a rewarding trip, after arriving in the Shadow City, the believers from all over the world will exchange their lives, pour out their worries, and deduct the consumption on the way, in fact, they will only stay in the Shadow City for half a month, and then return separately.

After they go back, they will end the troubles of life, and they will return to life in a new state, and they who were originally troubled by all kinds of life troubles, such as neighborhood disputes, such as the disharmony of husband and wife, have disappeared in the Shadow City, which is a great thing.

Whenever he thought back to his youthful years in Shadow City, the Great Elder couldn't help but smile, it was the most relaxed and carefree day in his life, the power of faith had relieved him of all his stress and troubles, he was so relaxed.

It would be nice to be able to return to Shadow City again, he thought to himself countless times, but this holy place in the hearts of millions of believers in the Dark Holy Court was drowned in the tide of history more than thirty years ago, and he didn't know if there would be a day when he would see the light of day again.

"Since it's a tower that can be seen from a long distance, why is it suddenly hidden? It's really strange, and there are adults who have been measuring and something, and they feel like they have fallen into a demon, and it is not easy to say anything, how long are we going to stay? ”

Crouff looked at Lin Ye, who was still calculating repeatedly, from a distance, and looked a little depressed, after all, there was no place for him.

In the past few days, he has been running along, and he can't find the slightest sense of existence, and it's too strange for a city to disappear like this.

This was a bit beyond his common sense, and he was a little skeptical that it was the right thing to do to break away from the army and come to find the missing city.

Of course, he didn't dare to say such doubts to Lin Ye, he knew that the young man had an unchallengeable majesty, and many things proved that the young man's judgment was right, so no matter how unreasonable this kind of thing seemed to be, he stayed at the level of complaining.

"Grandpa, this place seems to be a little different from other places, when we came, many other places were bare, but here is full of greenery, the trees grow extraordinarily luxuriantly, but there is no river on the surface at all, what is going on?"

While Crouff sat on the ground doing nothing, Nicole, the granddaughter of the Great Elder, walked up to him and asked with wide eyes.

Although she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, she was already a skilled rider, and she had not lagged behind them in the past few days.

"This is because there are underground rivers, the existence of the groundwater level, so that this land is extraordinarily moist, and the soil quality is much more fertile than the previous land, because the groundwater level can lock the rainfall, there is a water-locking layer, and the barren area will lose a lot of water. ”

Without waiting for the Great Elder to answer his granddaughter's question, Lin Ye, who was calculating in the distance, came over and answered the question on his behalf.

"There is such a river at our feet, but since there is a river and a wide land, how can it be so desolate, and it seems that this place is very remote, and it is really strange that it took a long time to get here. ”

When Crouff heard Lin Ye say this, he looked around in hindsight and found that the surroundings were indeed rich in water and grass and fertile land.

"And this underground river is the main road of the Shadow River, which winds all the way north, leading to the North Sea, and if it continues north, it will be the mouth of the North Sea. ”

Lin Ye has an accurate judgment of the nearby geographical situation, although he has not personally gone to the sea to investigate, but combined with the outline on the map.

There is still an accurate judgment of where he is now, when the sun is gradually setting in the west, and the setting sun will soon be projected.

After a long rainy season, this is a rare good weather, and the leaves quietly wait for the sunset.

"The main road of the Shadow River? That means the Shadow River that runs through this land is at our feet? No wonder we didn't see the Shadow River on the way here, it turned out to be an underground river, but what does this mean, what we are looking for is the Shadow City, not the Shadow River. ”

Crouff was still puzzled, he couldn't understand why the young man's face was so excited.

"Shadow City, as the name suggests, is a city hidden in the shadows, and when dusk falls, when the shadows fall, I think we have found our destination, and the city will soon be in front of our eyes. ”
