Chapter 37: The Fingers of the Gods
The words of these gnomes were a little inexplicable, and they were all confused.
"What can you do, can you still carry us through here?" asked Riel, "I know you have a great load, but I don't think you can carry a carriage......
"Of course not, sir. Elder Trisus interrupted him, "But I promise it will be as you wish." ”
Seeing its solemn attitude, several people looked at each other suspiciously, and then they all nodded.
They're just a bunch of dwarfs anyway, and I don't think I'll be able to do anything to them.
"It may be a little difficult to explain here, come with us. Elder Trisus said, and turned back to him.
Seeing this, the other gnomes also hurried to follow.
Alan and others followed.
However, after following for some distance, there was one thing that caught Allen's attention - unlike the Seaphes, these gnomes were very disciplined in their actions...... At the forefront was always the elder Trisus, then his two brothers, and finally the little gnomes. Thinking about it just now, they had been talking outside for so long, and it was only these three gnomes who were talking, and the other little gnomes were just standing behind with their heads down, looking submissive.
Alan couldn't help but take a closer look at them, and found something even more interesting...... Unlike the Syphus, who were uniformly dressed, they were dressed in a world of difference. Although the gnomes were not afraid of the cold, the three were dressed quite thickly, and the clothes were as elaborate as those used by humans, while the remaining little gnomes were dressed very simply and casually, most of their clothes were made of patches of cloth, some were simply glued together with leaves, and some were not even worn at all.
Not only that, but looking at their faces, the appearance of this group of little gnomes seems to be completely different from the three leaders......
"What's going on...... It's the same group of gnomes, but they don't look alike. Cynthia also found out and asked in a whisper.
"yes, I remember you told me that the gnomes live together as families, and most of them have the same father...... "Riel whispered, "It stands to reason that they should be very close to each other like the Ssyphus......"
"I don't know......," Alan shook his head, "probably because these three are much older than the others...... You know, it's hard to tell how old they are by their appearance. ”
At this time, a little dwarf walking at the back seemed to hear their conversation, turned his head to look at Allen, and opened his mouth again, as if he had something to say, but finally closed it.
This made several people inevitably have another layer of doubt in their hearts.
They didn't have time to think too much about it, though. They didn't go far before they came to a halt in front of a cliff face shaded by shrubs.
"I remember we didn't search around here?" "Riel looked around and pointed to the ground, "This is the footprint I just left behind." ”
Alan shook his head and didn't speak, staring at the elder Trissus' every move.
I saw the dwarf knock left and right on the cliff wall, and three more times on a raised stone, and a stone door opened in front of them.
"No wonder we couldn't find ......," Riel muttered quietly, "the entrance was hidden, and the code ......"
"It's their home too, don't you like someone to come to your house without knocking?" said Cynthia, giving him a blank look.
"Please come in, this is it!" said the elder Trisus as he walked through the door and made a gesture of invitation to Alan and the others.
However, Allen's attention was not on this, but stared at the door with some wonder...... I thought that the cave where the gnomes lived would be so small that they couldn't lift their heads, but they didn't expect that the height of this door was more than two meters, and it would not be a problem for an adult to walk into the door with his head held high.
"Is this really the home of the gnomes...... Alan thought.
But what surprised him even more was the cave......
There's something out of here...... Different from the strange rocky cave in his impression, this cave was very neatly built and square, there was nothing superfluous on the walls or high ceilings, and everything such as stone tables and stone benches were also placed in an orderly manner, which even gave him the illusion that this was not a cave, but a huge room...... On the walls around them was a circle of torches, and in the middle was a huge bonfire that lit up the whole cave, and in the corner to their left was a row of stone beds only about half a meter long, slightly concave inward, which looked like the sleeping places of the little gnomes, and on the right was a high stone platform with steps arranged in a neat arrangement leading to a stone chair carved with elaborate patterns; On the other side of the huge bonfire, there was an open field, and there were small bonfires scattered on the ground, as if many people had gathered here.
As for the further back, on the edge of the wall, Alan couldn't see it clearly because of the distance.
"Where is this cave...... It's a palace......" Alan wondered, thinking, "If this is what they built, it would be amazing......"
"How did they do it...... Rare was also shocked, and asked the elder Trithus, "Is it necessary for the gnomes to build their home that big......
However, it did not answer seriously, but said lightly: "It's a long story...... Please come with me. ”
With that, it motioned for the little gnomes to stay, leaving it and the other two gnomes to take Alan and the others to the right.
It led them around the stone steps and behind the high platform. I saw several room-like protrusions on the walls, and a door on each of them.
And in the innermost corner, there is a strange thing faintly glowing.
It was a pale blue light, a bit like mist, like a tiny drop of water, as if it would flow, reminding Alan of the blue lagoon when the sky was clear, and a bit like the blue sky with thin white clouds that he saw at the top of the Elemental Tower.
The three gnomes didn't stop and led them straight to the thing.
"What is this?" Alan realized that this strange light was actually coming from a narrow stone door. There are also some strange symbols carved on both sides of the door frame.
"It's hard to say, we just know that it's something left over from ancient times. Elder Trisus said.
"Ancient times?" Alan was a little surprised.
"Yes, it's quite a long time ago...... According to the elders, it has a history of at least more than 1,000 years. ”
"More than a thousand years!?"
"Yes, it seems to be some kind of pretty old magic ......" Elder Trisus nodded, then stared at Allen, "'God's Fingers'...... That's what my elders call it. ”
