Chapter Ninety-Six: Du Wei's Speculation
The mountain road is half a small walk, Du Wei is tired, and the most unfortunate thing is that this mountain has to climb to the top, I am afraid that there is not a day or two that will not work.
Because here, flying, is the patent of the dragons, even if you want to climb the sacred mountain like Aragorn, you have to rely on your own feet.
In addition to the bitter cold, Du Wei was also suffering from a painful ordeal.
Sunburn!
It's a paradox, but it's a real problem.
In his previous life, Du Wei often watched programs such as the Discovery Channel's local magazines, and saw that those who explored the Arctic and Antarctica would get sunburned in the cold, ice and snow, and often felt incredible.
The ice and snow are like a huge condenser mirror, gathering all the ultraviolet rays from the sun and the earth, and, theoretically speaking, the atmosphere of the extreme north and the extreme south is thin, and it is easier for the sun and the earth to shine in.
Du Wei felt that he was sunburned, and all the exposed skin on his face and hands turned pink and red as if it had been steamed, and the slightest touch made it painful.
Among his fellow fellow artists, Old Magician and Hussein seem to have this condition, but they are much more endurant than Du Weidi.
In addition to sunburn, there is also pain in the eyes.
Even at night, the light is very strong, and the blue light of the snow is the most powerful thing that hurts people's eyes.
The calmest of the companions was Medusa, whose snake skin was probably different from that of humans, her skin was still pale and delicate, and her eyes were always closed, indifferent to everything in the outer world.
Finally, in the afternoon of the next day, after bypassing the winding mountain road, everyone came to the halfway point of the mountain, which was the back of the mountain.
"Rest for a while, we'd better walk again at night." Du Wei gasped, his face was still molting, the pain was unbearable, he felt that even a light breeze on his face would make him can't help jumping in pain, so he could only privately wrap his face with a cloth on his clothes, only revealing his eyes.
The old magician nodded, he cast a fire-based magic, and made a fire: there was no firewood or firewood, and the flames made purely by magic consumed mana, but there was no other choice for heating.
Du Wei approached the fire, opened his arms and continued to warm the flames as much as he could.
His whole body was freezing and stiffening.
With his back to the flames, Du Wei sat on the edge of the mountain road, with a cliff in front of him...... Moreover, he is facing the ground, which is exactly to the north!
North of Mount Kinabalu!
After roasting the fire for a while, Du Wei felt that he had some jīng gods, looked into the distance, and couldn't help but ask again: "North of the sacred mountain, what is there?"
"No one knows for sure." The old magician shook his head: "But in the legend, the sacred mountain is the barrier that guards the human world, and if you continue to the north, there are some races abandoned by the gods! It is said that to the north, there is a sinful world, and the party is the same as the Roland continent, it is a continent, and several races that believed in the devil in ancient times were driven out of the human world after being defeated, and they went all the way to the north, through here, to another world."
"Another world." Hussein frowned: "What else can there be ahead? It's already so cold here that people can freeze to death! If it weren't for a few of us, ordinary people would have been unable to survive in this kind of place! Continue north? I can't imagine what it will be like to be cold further north! That kind of harsh land illusion, what race can survive in such a bad land illusion?"
The old magician smiled bitterly, "So, this is the punishment of the gods...... I don't know, but that's what the legend says."
"I don't think so." Du Wei suddenly laughed softly, but when the old magician and Hussein looked at Du Wei strangely, Du Wei closed his mouth and remained silent.
Not necessarily...... Du Wei couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.
Does it get colder the further north you go?
In this world, of course, the people of this era will think so.
But who is Du Wei? Du Wei is from the world where science and technology are advanced in the previous life!
The farther north you go, the colder it gets, from
Literally it seems right.
However, considering the rational location of the local dialect......
If we suppose that this world, like Du Wei's previous life, is a planet similar to the sphere.
Dewey was almost certain of this. He had made some assumptions over the years, assuming that this Roland continent was on a planet similar to a sphere, and even the sun, moon, and even the Big Dipper were the same as the ball! Dewey even suspected that it was another sphere in space!
In any case, at least it can be assumed that this is a planet! Then, according to the location of the Roland continent: cold in the north, hot in the south.
What does this mean? It shows that the location of the Roland continent should be in the northern hemisphere of the planet! The closer the north is to the North Pole, the colder it becomes! The closer the south is to the equator, the hotter it is!
This is the simplest reason.
However, because the ball is a circle (of course, in this world, it should be said that "this planet is a round earth"), then the further north you go, the closer you get to the "North Pole" of this planet, the colder it will be!
Continue to the north, until you reach the "North Pole", which is the coldest place! But what if you don't stop, go further?
Go beyond the North Pole and go further...... In fact, if you go beyond the North Pole and continue to move forward, you are actually tantamount to reaching the far side of the planet, and then going all the way to ...... Yes, if you continue to walk, you will actually be "south"!!
In that case, instead of getting colder, it will get warmer!!
This is Du Wei's previous life, even a middle school student will understand the truth, of course, in this world, I'm afraid no one understands.
So...... Du Wei couldn't help but think in his heart: If you continue to walk forward beyond the sacred mountain, what kind of world will it be?
It can't be getting colder! It should be getting warmer! There may even be a continent! There is another continent similar to Roland!
Well, the North...... No, it should be said that "ahead", what is there?
Just when Du Wei fell into a reverie, he couldn't help but sit on the edge of the cliff, his legs hanging there, looking into the distance......
To the north of Mount Kinabalu, there is still a vast ice field in front of you, but it is not as flat as the south side, and in the distance, there are continuous snow-capped mountains and ice rocks faintly visible on the horizon...... Starting from the foot of Mount Kinabalu, the strangely shaped black rocks bulge from the face, as if they were protruding from the face, and the edges and corners are sharp......
As far as Du Wei could see, he suddenly faintly saw that at the foot of the mountain, on the northern side of the ground, there was a spike-like black sè rock that protruded from the surface, and there seemed to be something hanging on the sharp edges and corners, faintly turning silver and white sè......
After all, Du Wei is a magician, his sense is keen, and even his eyesight and ear power are naturally far better than ordinary people, his heart moved, and he immediately took off the wrapped strip of cloth from his face, the strip of cloth had been frozen hard, and it was rolled up, revealing a small hole in the middle......
According to the most basic principle of small hole imaging, this is farther and more real than the naked eye, and when he saw clearly what was hanging on the sharp spike-like rock at the bottom of the mountain, Du Wei couldn't help but jump in his heart!
That's a pair of bones!
I don't know how many years have passed, the muscles on the corpse have been crystallized with ice, and it looks like a dry and cold zombie, hanging on the sharp protruding rock, but the corpse looks very majestic, but the arms are extremely long, far better than ordinary humans, and the legs are very short, but the legs and feet are extremely thick, and the armor on the body is still hung with ice edges, the only strange thing is ...... The head is gone!
Du Wei looked further away, but found that there were still a few corpses hanging on the black sè rocks protruding from the face, and those corpses were even more strange, and there were even some corpses, which were carefully identified by Du Weidi, and he could see something strange!
Those corpses didn't seem to be human at all! Some corpses had weird proportions of legs and feet, and some had palms with only three fingers, as if they were ...... Some kind of animal?
The more Du Wei looked at it, the more he frowned, and finally after careful searching, he finally found one or two skeletons that were similar to human corpses...... But the bones looked too slender! Even a slender woman among the human beings would probably not be so thin and slender, but these slender bones were not only much smaller, but the clothes and armor on their bodies were also extremely gorgeous, although they were under the ice crystals, they were shining and beautiful......
And the common denominator: all the bones of the earth are on the back! and, without exception, there are no heads!
