Volume III Kuroshio 11 Grimbaatar
-I have two things I hate, one is that I hate to go back, and the other is that I hate being forced to go back.
-Whether it's walking or doing things, this feeling doesn't just make me feel bad.
-When I had visited the majestic boulder dam and expressed my feelings, I hurried away with him, I didn't want anything to happen to the dwarves again, and as soon as we landed below the dam, it would be a vast muddy swamp in our memory, and after walking through this quagmire we would reach human territory.
- But what I never expected was that we started from the side of the dam to find a way down the mountain, and it turned out that we were getting farther and farther away. I'm trying to find a way down the mountain, but the sheer terrain feels too unreal for me.
-I always see a gentle place in front of me, and it seems that I can walk down, but when I get closer, it is always a cliff of tens or even hundreds of meters.
- But when you see a place like this, you can't help but try it, what if you can really go down? But every time I was disappointed. Every time!
- This is not an exaggeration at all.
- Just walk out of the mountains and you'll find the swamp, and beyond the swamp you'll be the kingdom of Stormgard. But after a few days of walking, we couldn't even see the swamp.
- We are lost!
……
- This bird place has birds, snakes, and ...... Lots of goats.
……
-Eat it raw. It would be nice to have a fire, but it's rare.
- I'm okay to say that it's okay for me to eat it raw. But John's first few days were uncomfortable. I asked him how many times he regretted coming with me. He always answered me very indifferently, and he had no regrets.
- Maybe I regret it a little, but I don't say it.
……
-If I hadn't gone out, how would I be where I am today?
- But the time it takes to walk into this mountain range is no longer measured in days alone.
- It's so hard!
……
- I really can't get out, we may have walked this mountain for more than ten days, or more. I was on the verge of breaking down until we went higher and higher and found a high ground that puzzled me a little.
- There was no snow in that place, but the temperature was not high, and the scenery here was very different from the territory of the dwarves, and I didn't know where I had gone, and I didn't have such a piece of land in my head.
……
- There is no record of this land in the books.
- And when I found out that there were dwarven buildings in this land, I was even more confused, how could there be dwarves here?
- And what makes me even more incredible is that there is not a single figure in this land!
- Yes, the house is there, the manor is there, the castle is there, it's just that there is no one! Not a single one!
-I began to wonder if I had entered a different dimension, I went into those houses and castles and found them covered in ash, which had apparently been abandoned for an unknown amount of time, and in the castle there was a sign that I had never seen before.
-The bronze logo, in the middle is just the shape of a hammer, what is around the hammer anyway, we don't understand.
- Most of the houses built by the dwarves are made of holes, with or without dirt bags, they have to make a big sturdy dirt bag and dig a hole underneath. But these buildings are not all like this, there are also towers and castles. This doesn't seem to be the style of the Copperbeard Dwarves. But there is also a bit of dwarven customs.
……
- Now I know what this place is.
……
- This land once belonged to the Brute Hammer tribe. But the Hammer tribe has all moved away. They abandoned the land and went further north to the north.
……
- Yes, one of the three dwarven clans. I think it seemed that the land was polluted by a curse or magic, I don't remember exactly.
……
- This land...... How to say it, I always feel that there is something wrong or something abnormal, but what the shortcomings are, where there is something abnormal, I can't say.
……
-Feel...... It's not depressing, but I just feel that the color of the sky is not very positive, and that kind of blue always feels a little deep. There are very few birds in the woods here, and although there are birds, they are rarely heard.
……
- It's not barren here, but the grass on the ground doesn't seem to be very lush, there aren't a lot of animals, and of course we don't have a problem eating them.
- The fog that gets up every morning in this place is always very big, and sometimes even so big that visibility is very low, and things that are ten meters away are completely invisible. The fog clears by noon and fogs up in the evening.
……
- No monsters encountered. Not even a single dead person has been encountered.
……
- There are roads, of course, these roads lead in all directions, although they have been abandoned for I don't know how many years, and the weeds have almost covered them, but they can still be identified from the weeds.
……
- To the west, no matter what the road is our direction is to the west.
……
- For about five days, we came to a huge stone gate along the way.
……
- Actually, it was a castle, so to speak, a fortress built on a hill, although the weather was not very sunny that day, but we saw the hill and the buildings on it from a long distance.
-The overgrown weeds along the way tell me that this is also deserted, but at this scale it seems to be an extremely important city.
- How do you describe it......
- From our direction, the city was built on a majestic hill surrounded by a number of small hills. There are some structures on these small hills, but there are extremely obvious signs of damage. Even I found corrupted and semi-corrupted siege engines in some of the wilderness.
- That is, there used to be a war in this place!
……
- Listen to me slowly, don't rush.
-The shock we received as we approached the huge stone gate was indescribable. The stone gate was large, if it was a dwarf man...... To be honest, I can't understand why they built such a big stone gate when they were so short.
……
-Get in...... Hmph, the two of us can't open that stone door. But the more I couldn't push it away, the more I felt that there might be something in it.
……
- Of course it went in!
……
- Climb in! The gate could not be entered, but they built a gate not only on this hill, but also on a higher hill. I climbed up with him.
……
-It's not particularly difficult to climb, this mountain is different from those that go straight up and down, maybe because there were a lot of dwarves here, there were outposts and towers everywhere, so there was no fear of enemy attacks, and even the sentry posts on those mountains were good shooting points.
- But after an unknown number of years, the mountains are covered with grass, thorns and some trees. So it's not hard to climb up. When I used my axe to knock open the rotten door and window of a dark whistle hidden behind the grass, we managed to get inside.
-At first, I couldn't believe it was real, but when I climbed in, I realized that we were really slowly entering the interior of the mountain.
- If you don't have a problem with your brains, it's better not to go to this bird place, it's not just cold, damp, dark.
- This bird place is haunted......
……
- First of all, the name of this place, back then, was ...... Grimbaato.
- It was indeed built by the dwarves, the same dwarven clan you just mentioned, the Brute Hammer. I don't know why they left here, but this place is fucking haunted!
- It's very big here! I kind of don't want to remember that memory. That place made me shudder. And not just because of this ......
……
- That's inside the mountains, lad. Don't you have a little common sense of life? It's not warm in that mountain at all! Not at all! It's not freezing, but the temperature inside is going to make you very, very uncomfortable!
-There is an indescribable smell in the air, saying that it is rotten, but it doesn't seem to be, it is estimated that it has been boring for a long time.
-We lit all the torches we could, but there was really no end in sight.
-Circle by layer, circle by circle, when we finally reached the end of the hallway like a dormitory building, we saw the darkness that could not be seen at a glance!
- The heart of this hollowed-out mountain! It is also the heart of the city.
……
- I don't know exactly how big this area is, and I don't want to.
- The range that our torches can illuminate is about 20 meters, and if you are far away, you will hardly be able to see it. We shout in a space and there will be an echo! But the echo here scares me! There are some directions that shout over, and you can't hear the echo at all!
- Do you know how old it is?
……
- Idiot!
- The two of us held the torch and kept lit, and kept lit, every ten meters there was a torch. When I looked back and saw that the torch had no end in sight, I felt an inexplicable fear.
- It's still me walking along a road!
- I don't dare to shout!
-Don't you dare?
- Do you know what's going to be in there? Do you know what you might wake up?
-You don't know. But with your stupidity and death-loving personality, you'll probably keep screaming. Am I right?
- Look at the damn way you look, you're just talking about it.
……
- Did you hear that? Your Uncle Mueller is right, and most of the risky behavior is tragedy. Dangers in the wild don't give you the same gentle reminders as your mother, they either just choke!
-That's it!
- Grab you by the throat and kill you directly, or sneak close...... Stick it behind you, and before you even notice it, it will ......
- Pick your throat!
- The two of us didn't dare to shout yet, just walking and met those terrible figures!
……
- No, no, no, I don't think it's a monster, it's really a ghost! Muller.
- Suddenly appeared!
- I'd rather see them all of a sudden!
-In such a fucking dark place, suddenly someone behind you calls you, can you stand it, or do you suddenly see a blurry figure in front of you and make you even more scared?
- Don't brag! Gatsby!
- You're not scared yet, now you can say whatever you want! Someone of your character will be placed at the front of the stormtroopers in the army. Everyone is happy to see what you will look like before you die.
-Hum......
- I saw the figure! It's still time to cross the bridge. Suddenly, I saw a figure in front of me in the light of the torch. When the two of them stared at me, I just felt chills all over my body.
- I just stood at that time! I love it when John on the back of my back puts his hand on my back that suddenly stopped!
……
- This shows that he is still behind me!
-It would be extremely scary if in such a place you suddenly found that your companion had disappeared. Thankfully not! He's still there!
……
- Rush over and fart!
-The normal reaction is to observe before acting, instead of screaming and rushing up when you meet something like a stupid beep!
- Have you ever seen such a person?
- Maybe I've lived for nearly fifty years and not seen enough people, or maybe it's because I don't have such people around me.
……
-Biaozi means reckless silly beep. Got it? It's a mild adjective.
- Anyway, I stood still, frightened to be exact.
- John was also stunned.
-The thing in front of me suddenly screamed and then rolled over and jumped off the bridge, and I felt the hairs on my back stand on end!
……
- There is even more bottomless darkness under the bridge!
- And when I twisted my face under the bridge after watching it......
-I X!
- It appeared behind John!
