Chapter 65 The Conquest of Heaven in
"Alright, it's time for us to go. Later you have time to look at these. With a wave of his hand, Mordred spurred the lava and ran towards the Peak of Miracles. Richard suppressed his agitation and followed.
It took four people and five to run for an hour before they really reached the foot of the Miracle Peak. It is only at such a close distance that this peak, which is five kilometres in diameter and three kilometres high, truly reveals its majesty and extraordinaryness. Human vision can no longer fully accommodate the grandeur of the landscape in front of them, and whether you want to see a road or a mountain, you must constantly turn your head and adjust your perspective.
In the distance, the thin line that spiraled up the mountain peak had now expanded into a wide road that could accommodate four large carriages in parallel. The pavement is paved with irregular rocks, but they are seamlessly patched. The surface is smooth and smooth, but when you look closely, it is densely distributed with particles to prevent the mount and wheels from slipping on it. The outer edge of the road is made of cyan steel cast into handrails and guardrails, and the top of each steel pillar is carved with a lifelike monster head. In the middle of the road is a slightly raised band of rock, painted in bright yellow, to distinguish between upward and downward traffic. [Search for the latest update.]
Richard looked up and looked up the road. If you look up from here, even if you look up to an angle parallel to the sky, you can only see a cloud of mist covering the peak, and it is difficult to imagine the miracle of being high above the clouds. However, he was good at mathematics, and when he saw the upward slope of the road, he naturally calculated the total length of the road. But how much would it cost to build such a magnificent avenue, every piece of masonry, every inch of guardrail, all the way to the top? Richard could scarcely calculate this huge number! This feeling was only felt when he had tried to calculate the cost of the deep blue. Now, that's just the way to the City of Wonders.
"Hey, Richard, look over there!" Mordred's voice came, and Richard looked in the direction he was pointing, and about a kilometer away saw a rather peculiarly shaped complex, the most obvious feature of which was the flat roof. From time to time, griffons climb the platform, take a few steps, take off, hover in the air a few times, and then begin to rise in altitude and fly straight to the clouds at the summit of Miracle Peak.
Most of the time the griffons carry one or two people on their backs and fly alone to the summit. But there were also flocks of griffons set off at the same time, and the scene was spectacular, the flock of griffons spread their wings, and in an instant the sky was darkened, and the majestic chirping could be faintly heard even from a kilometer away.
"That's the griffon station, and if you want to make it easier, you can take them up and down the mountain in the future. But then you can't bring your own mount. At the other end of the mountain, there are two more bipedal wyvern stations, as well as two Morse Mountain Eagle stations. However, the people of Ukiyo-dri could not tolerate the smell of bipedal dragons, so they were mostly used to transport goods. All right, Richard, come with me, and we'll go up! It's a long way, and you'd better add some magic to your horse." ”
Mordred slapped Lava on the neck, and the large, monstrous beast let out a low roar and trotted down the path up the mountain. Although the avenue is wide, there are so many knights and wagons of all kinds that it seems to be a little crowded. Among the knights I saw on the road, there were quite a few knights in construction. Mordred and the two retinue of Constructed Knights are also less remarkable.
When the iron hooves of the ironclad horse finally stepped into the clouds that did not disperse in the sky, Richard already felt the faint flow of magic in the clouds, which was obscure and difficult to argue. When Richard sketched out these invisible lines of magic in his mind, he was immediately amazed, this was actually part of the magic array! If all the clouds had such magic threads, then how huge and magnificent this magic array should be!
"Richard, be careful, the gate of Faust is ahead. Mordred's voice faintly came from the clouds above. Richard perked up, urged the ironclad horse, and sped up. When Richard rounded a bend, he suddenly entered a huge square, and there were no clouds in front of him, and his vision suddenly widened!
This is a huge square with a radius of 1,000 kilometers, paved with pale golden boulders, even Richard could not tell the origin of the material of this boulder, but only from the iron hooves of the ironclad horse on the ground can be imagined its hardness. The square with light gold as the base color is also distributed with giant patterns of navy blue and dark green, and judging from the lines that resemble runes and magic symbols, it looks like an incomparably huge magic array. However, Richard could not tell the origin of the rock material that made up the pattern, nor could he feel the slightest flow of magic from this incomparably huge magic array.
Instinctively, Richard told him that he was stepping on a magic circle right now, though it was unlike anything he had ever learned. It's not just different, in fact, Richard doesn't even know the meaning of a symbol, a twist. This magic circle is not at all explained by the known knowledge of magic.
Immediately, Richard's eyes were drawn to two incomparably large statues at the other end of the square. It was two statues of samurai 100 meters high, standing with their swords and their faces deeply obscured by the hoods of their cloaks. The giant sword in his hand was unpretentious, only a few runes of unknown meaning were engraved in the center of the spine, and the runes were also navy blue or dark blue. The two warriors bowed their heads slightly, as if they were saluting some supreme being. Although they were only two lifeless statues, their devotion was evident. And for some reason, Richard even felt a faint coercion and murderous aura from these two statues.
The statue is backed by two stone pillars that are more than 100 meters high, and the two stone pillars are connected by vaults. Both the stone pillars and the vaults are carved from the same pale golden rock as the square, and they are also entwined with blue and blue magic patterns of unknown significance. However, no matter how much Richard observed, he could not find even a trace of a crack or a splicing in the statue or the stone pillar. What does this mean? Could it be that the two warrior statues and the stone pillar arch behind them were carved out of a single monolith?
Who has the ability to sculpt such a miracle?
Richard suddenly found himself having some difficulty breathing. So he closed his eyes, first to silence his heart, and then slowly opened his eyes to look at the dome of the arch. In the center of the dome, the name of the city is engraved in the magical language of the Norland continent: "Faust". Aside from the fact that the name was written in the language of magic, Richard could no longer find any reason why this incomparably large arch was associated with this plane.
