Chapter 857: Taniko
Leo's question was not answered, and the universal recorder remained the same, but Sylvia looked at Leo's one-man show with a strange look and felt like laughing.
"You go check on Tessa Mocha, and if you can, we'll leave now, there's no need to stay here any longer. Leo put away the Pro-Nucleus of the Mastermind in his hand and said to Sylvia.
"Just leave?" Sylvia asked, frowning.
"Hmm!" Leo nodded, turned his head in the direction of the palace, and said, "In order to avoid her recurrence, we better leave first." ”
Sylvia nodded when she heard this, didn't say anything more, got up and went to Tessa Mocha's room to check the situation, and Leo also quickly sorted out the items, fortunately, most of the necessary supplies have been prepared these days, except for a few parts of the food and medicine that have been put in the storage space, other things only need to be cleaned up.
Sylvia quickly walked out of Tessa Mocha's room and said, "She hasn't woken up yet, but there's nothing wrong with her and she should be able to take her with her." ”
Leo nodded, then took a sleeping bag commonly used by the Dariats, and together with Sylvia, put Tessa Mocha in it, and then tied it tightly with a strap, and was carried by Leo.
Sylvia found a few servants from the palace to carry the prepared supplies to the carriage and horse post outside the city, and then asked the post owner to set up a wind shield for the ice pack beast that he had bought before, bundle all kinds of items, and fix Tessa Mocha on the back of the pack beast, and the three of them rode the two pack beasts into the wind and snow outside the city, and walked towards the west.
Just as Leo and Sylvia were leaving, their whereabouts were reported to Leah Venistan by the queen's spies, although Leo was very unhappy with their departure, because this kind of behavior was clearly a hint of distrust, but she had no intention of pursuing anything, and now she had more important things to do, even if she couldn't leave the palace yet, she still needed to be prepared in advance.
As a result, several orders were sent out of the palace, and a few days later, several armies were stationed in the Belém Glacier Lake, and salvage experts from the east and west coasts also gathered in Dai Lisa to receive the queen and join in the discussion of salvaging the remains of prehistoric civilization under the Belém Glacier Lake.
On the other side, Leo and the others made their way to Tanico, which was located near the ice bridge, and encountered no obstacles on the way, except for some obstacles caused by the wind and snow, such as taking the wrong road.
On the third day after they left Dai Lisa, Tessa Mocha awoke from her slumber and her skin changed from dark green to a normal color.
Tessa Mocha who woke up did not have any changes such as a rapid increase in strength and a rebirth of her body, and it felt no different from before, but Leo could see that the energy fluctuations on her body had some very obvious changes, the wavelength widened, the frequency slowed down, and she felt like some kind of psionic creature in a state of hibernation.
And Tessa Mocha's perception has also become extremely acute, even surpassing Leo's spiritual network, and on the way after that, often Leo's spiritual network has not yet perceived things, but Tessa Mocha can perceive it for the first time, but her powerful perception ability is not without flaws, for example, she can only perceive living things, and it is completely ineffective for dead things.
On the fifth day of formation, a new round of extremely cold ice storms blew through this northern land, and in this harsh environment, even snow beasts that have been active near the northern ice fields all year round could not withstand such extremely cold weather for a long time.
For this reason, Leo and his family had to find a small village to stay in for two days before leaving after the ice storm was over.
In this way, they walked slowly and slowly in waves of extremely cold ice storms, and it took them about two months to reach the small town of Tanico, which is located at the top of the northeast of the Dailiat.
Taniko is not a Dalyat, but an ancient Bertsha language, one of the ancient languages of the northern tribes of the Viron continent, and the language spoken by the Renaud people.
The first Reynolds to cross the ice bridge built a settlement in a circular valley at the southern end of the ice bridge, named after Taniko, which means land given by the gods in the ancient Bertsha language.
After that, the Reynolds crossed the ice bridge several times and brought the tribesmen from the north of the Vilun continent at the other end of the ice bridge, and finally formed the Reynolds tribe of Dalyat.
To this day, historians around the world still wonder why the Reynolds took the risk of crossing the ice bridge to settle in the tundra of the northern ice field of Minsk.
Some suspect that this is due to the climate, because according to scholars, there was a period of extremely cold climate in the Northlands, when many Northland tribes migrated south, and this kind of thing is also recorded in some ancient texts of the Farlands.
It was not long before there was a refutation of this view, knowing that the area of Delriat was more hostile in terms of environment than the northern land of the continent of Vilon.
After all, there is also a Dakat mountain range between the northern land of the Velun continent and the endless ice field, which blocks most of the cold wind of the endless ice field, and only a part of the cold wind still blows through the mountain range and sweeps the northland, so the climate in the northern land of the Velun continent is much better than that of Daliat, and there will be no extremely bad weather such as extreme cold ice storms, so due to climate reasons, the idea that the Reynolds moved to Daliat is completely untenable.
In addition to the climatic reasons, some people said that it may have been a war, because the climate at that time caused a great famine in the north, in order to survive, while some tribes chose to move south, some tribes attacked other tribes and robbed other tribes of their food, so the entire northland was plunged into war at that time.
But this point of view was quickly refuted, the number of people who moved the Reynolds to Daliat, plus the number of casualties in the process of relocation, finally got the number of people before the Reynolds moved, and this number can be regarded as one of the largest tribes in the entire Northland, even the current Northland, such a powerful tribe is already very good if it does not rob others, how can anyone rush to provoke them.
As for food, it is not a problem, because in the two years after the Reynolds moved to Deliyat, they were in the stage of adapting to the environment, and the main food in the tribe was the reserve grain brought from the Vilonian continent before, which means that when the Reynolds decided to migrate, the food in their hands was very sufficient, enough for them to easily survive that famine period.
It is precisely because the reason for the migration of the Reynolds is so mysterious that it has aroused the curiosity of many scholars, and Tanico, the first settlement established by the Reynolds after arriving on the Minsk mainland, has become the best place for them to study the mystery of the migration of the Reynolds, because there are many relics left by the Reynolds here, and there are many places worth studying.
The early Reynolds did not pursue water burial and cremation like the people of the northland tribes of the Velun continent, their funeral was rock burial, that is, digging caves in the rocks of the high mountains, and putting the corpses and burial goods into the cave together, most of these corpses will be eaten by scavenging birds of prey, and the cave will also be transformed into a nest by the birds of prey, so it is rare to see the tombs of the Reynolds in the northland of the Velonian continent.
But Tanico is different, it is located near the extremely cold northern endless ice field, and almost no birds of prey will live here, so the cave burial chambers they dug in the rock can be well preserved, coupled with the cold and dry climate, so that the corpses rarely decay, which also makes the rock walls around the Tanico crater densely packed with that kind of cave burial chambers, some burial chambers are even used by a family.
Many suspect that the Reynolds settled in Tanico for almost a hundred years before deciding to migrate elsewhere in Dalyat, mainly because there was no way to open new tombs here.
The Tanico crater was not given to it by the Reynolds, but was given to it by later scholars who studied the civilization of the Reynolds tribe here, and in the language of the Reynolds, the Tanico crater has only one name, and that is the mother's embrace.
For the Reynolds, the embrace-shaped Tanico crater is the bosom of their mother, in which their tribe is sustained, they can survive the extreme cold and ice storms, and this bosom also provides them with the food they need to survive.
In the Tanico crater, a grain is very important for the preparation of the Dairiat, this grain is called the pink potato, which is an extremely hardy staple food plant, which can also grow near the ice sheet, and the yield is also very large, and the growth cycle is extremely fast, usually 40 days after planting.
This kind of pink potato cannot be eaten raw, it can cause strong diarrhea, and for a long time this kind of pink potato was regarded as poison.
But later, I don't know who discovered that after drying these pink potatoes, grinding them into powder, and then kneading them into dough and baking, they can take out the toxins that cause diarrhea in this plant, and they can also add a little sweetness, so the pink potatoes have become the staple food of all the people living in Dailyat, and this kind of pink potatoes also have a scientific name for Taniko pink potatoes, and the bread made from this kind of pink potatoes has become Tania bread.
When Leo and his party arrived in Tanico, they immediately attracted the attention of many of the Dalyats who lived here, because no one had ever come here during the winter ice storm in the past, especially since all three of them had an extraordinary temperament.
"Hello, I'm the mayor of Tanico. When Leo sent his pack beast to the town's post station and asked the people of the town to unload the pack beast's luggage, the mayor of the town came over with a few subordinates, greeted Leo and them, and said, "I don't know who the three of them are here......
Without waiting for the mayor of the town to finish asking, Sylvia took out the pass that Leah Venestein had given them to go to the Belém Glacier Lake, handed it to the mayor of the town, and said, "We are here mainly to study the ice bridge. ”
"Studying the Ice Bridge?" the mayor of the town was stunned, because in the past, some of the people he had met had either come to study the Endless Ice Fields of the North or the Reynolds, and this was the first time he had heard of studying the Ice Bridge.
After taking the pass and seeing the seal of the queen and the palace minister, the mayor of the town did not continue to look down, quickly folded the pass again, saluted the three people, and said: "Since several scholars are specially sent by Her Majesty, our town of Tanico will naturally try our best to assist the research work of the three, I will send someone to arrange the residence of the three now, what else do the other three need to assist?"
Sylvia said with a natural expression: "Not for the time being, we will let you know when we need to." ”
Seeing this, the mayor of the town did not ask any more questions, turned around and ordered a subordinate to stay with Leo and them to listen to the instructions, and then turned and left.
Not long after the mayor of the town left, they were informed that they had arranged their quarters, and that they had brought a few men to help Leo carry their luggage.
The group crossed the main road of the town, which was covered with snow, and came to a small cottage surrounded by trees in the northeast corner.
From the shape of the villa, it is not difficult to see that this should have been built by some nobleman, and it is some years, and the appearance looks very old in many places, but because it is often cleaned, it is still clean.
The man who carried the luggage put it down and turned away, while the staff member of the town hall who had been arranged by the mayor stayed behind and temporarily lived in the hut at the door of the villa, and told Leo that he could inform him directly if there was anything to do.
After the staff left, Tessa Mocha suddenly said: "There is something wrong with this town, we just came here and sent someone to monitor us, I'm afraid it will ......"
"We're not going to stay here for long, we'll leave as soon as we figure out what's going on on the ice bridge, and it doesn't matter what happens. Sylvia said flatly.
Leo walked over to the fireplace, stacked the firewood next to the fireplace, and lit it directly with the Witcher's Seal, then he raised his hand and took down a mural hanging from the fireplace, revealing the wall behind the mural, only to see another badge on the wall with seven rings nested together, each ring with a different symbol.
"Emblem of Tranquility!" Sylvia said in surprise as she saw the pattern on the wall.
"Emblem of Tranquility?" Tessa Mocha was stunned for a moment, and confirmed, "Is it the Emblem of Tranquility for all things?"
"Hmm!" Sylvia nodded solemnly.
Leo's mind at this moment also quickly searched for information about the Tranquility Emblem and the Tranquility of All Things.
In the world of Velon, the god of death is the only true god in charge of death recognized by the Orthodox Church, but the god of death is not the only god of death, in fact, there is another god who appeared before the god of death, and he is also closely related to death, this god is the tranquility of all things.
The emblem of all things tranquility is called the emblem of tranquility, it is composed of seven rings, each ring has a holy talisman, representing different stages of life, namely birth, toddler, child, teenager, youth, adulthood, old age, the holy emblem of the seven rings represents eternal tranquility, that is, death.
