There is a mountain spring under the cliff, but it has frozen. Several people found a house from the mountain spring. Thanks to the fact that the house is surrounded by steep cliffs on three sides, it provides a shelter from wind and rain, and
The houses are all made of stone bricks. Except for one room that was destroyed by falling rocks, the other three rooms are all intact. The largest stone house is half buried underground. There are many stone shelves and wooden barrels inside.
It is bound by iron hoops, and because the air is dry and cold, it has not completely decayed. It looks like a large wine cellar, and the entire building should be a small brewery.
Sure enough, some wine-making tools and equipment were found in other rooms, and some of the tools were still in good condition. They briefly walked around the three rooms and saw two wooden barrels placed in the holes in the wall. Delma went up
After knocking, his eyes lit up: "It's not empty. I don't know if I can drink it!"
It was freezing cold at this time, and he and the two dwarves couldn't bear the cold. The axe-wielding dwarf, regardless of the number of people, took down one of the barrels of wine and opened it. It smelled of wine, and the liquid poured out was very turbid.
"Oops, it's gone bad and you can't drink it anymore." The other dwarf was extremely frustrated. It could be seen from his alcoholic nose that he was already extremely greedy.
Ke'er found a door in the room, opened it, and a smell of fermented wine rushed up.
“And a wine cellar!”
"Go down, go down."
Several wine lovers hurriedly entered the underground wine cellar. Bimoye and the others had not forgotten to be alert to the surrounding situation. He asked Ke'er, Avro, and Miao to stay above, and followed him into the cellar. The air
In addition to the aroma of wine, there is also a musty smell.
There was indeed a lot of wine hidden underneath. When Bimoye came in with a mining lamp hanging on his staff, the two dwarves were already in front of a lying wine barrel, leaning their necks to drink the wine poured out of the barrel.
After taking a long sip, the two dwarves burped with great pleasure.
Delma asked anxiously: "How is it, how is it?" He meant to ask if he could drink it.
The two dwarves glared at him unhappily, thinking that you don't dare to drink it yourself, so let's use the two of us as an experiment. But now they had wine, and they didn't bother to let the others do it. One by one, they held the wine bucket and took out the cowhide filled with water.
Replace the bag with water and pick it up.
Seeing this, Delma must be able to drink it, so she opened a barrel and tasted it: "This is really good wine. I am not dreaming. I have never drunk such a good wine."
Bimoye is a person who knows wine well. When he smells the aroma of the wine, he knows that the wine here is definitely not bad. Due to the environment and the age, the old wine here has an incomparably rich aroma, which makes Guan get drunk just by smelling the wine.
After he passed, he took out a small pot and took a pot with him, but he did not drink it immediately. At the same time, he advised them: "Delma, you should drink less, don't get drunk."
He held the lamp and continued deeper into the wine cellar. This underground wine cellar stored at least tens of thousands of barrels of wine, and there were several categories. Each category was stored separately. In the middle of a corridor, there was a dead body dried in the sun.
He fell under the pillar in the cellar. Judging from the posture of holding the sword in his chest with both hands, he died of suicide. From his physique, it can be seen that he belongs to the thin dwarf tribe, such as the Thrass tribe, or the green
Regarding the Sonke people, Delma and the others will have to come over to find out the details.
Bimoye squatted beside the corpse and took a look, making sure that he would not be resurrected, and then rummaged through his body with his gloved hands. In addition to the identity card with his name and nationality written on it, there was also a book under his body.
The notes were wrapped in a leather sheath. The notes were very complete and the handwriting was very clear. Bimoye turned to the last page and read a few words, which probably meant that he could not leave this place where he had lived for more than a hundred years and leave with everyone.
, chose to be buried together with his lifelong favorite brewing business. As for the previous content, the notes are too thick to be read here. I can only take them out and read them slowly.
After putting away the notes, Bimoye made another discovery in the wine cellar. In the corner, he found a wooden box. There were many things in the wooden box. It was full, including many magic crystal coins, which were exactly what they needed: "
Great, find something useful and bring it with you."
He covered the box and used floating magic to lift it up. When he returned to Delma, the three of them were already drunk and fell to the ground snoring.
After finally getting the box and the three of them out of the cellar, Ke'er, the three of them and Bimoye repeatedly confirmed their identities to make sure that neither of them were pretending to be in contact with branches, and then they sat down to check these things.
There is nothing much to say about the contents of the box. The focus is on the notes. Bimoye read the notes and gradually got a general understanding of the things here.
As the owner of the notebook, when he was a thirty-four-year-old boy (dwarf tribe), Dafen and his sister came to the 'Sacred Mountain' with their parents to participate in a mysterious project called the 'Great Cause'. As countless people who participated in this
One of the people who worked on the first project, they were not the first ones to come here, nor were they the last ones. But no matter whether they came early or later, everyone was restricted from leaving the 'Holy Mountain', and only a small number of managers and
Only those with authorization can go to the outside world to purchase and recruit new people. From the day he arrived, Dafen never left.
Everyone who comes to Shenshan has a different division of labor. Although most people are engaged in the construction and mining industries, there are other jobs that need to be done. Dafen's mother and sister took up kitchen and planting work. He and
My father started making wine, and he continued to do so for more than a hundred years.
During this period, he experienced his sister getting married and having children, his parents passing away, and his own marriage, divorce, and remarriage. However, this long "great cause" never stopped, and he didn't know when it would end. He only knew
Most of the quarried and polished stone strips were used in the buildings on the top of the 'Sacred Mountain', where they built a city, and the city was built for the core of all projects - the 'Great Cause'.
Daphne tried to chat with the workers to find out what the so-called 'great cause' was, but he only knew that it was highly confidential and the workers in the quarry had no way of knowing. Later, he gradually became familiar with the management at the top of the 'Sacred Mountain'
By chance, a construction engineer in the underground core was drunk. Drunkness never happened in the core city of Weiye, just to keep it strictly confidential. But that time, the engineer was drunk and said
He missed some words that he shouldn't have said. He mentioned the words "World Tree" and also mentioned that "Great Cause" would fail.
Daphne didn't know why the 'Great Enterprise' failed, because the project didn't stop for a moment, quarrying, mining, and casting, everything was going on step by step, but he could feel the uneasiness and low morale from the top. Until
Finally, the order to evacuate came down, and everyone was ordered not to disclose anything here to the outside world after leaving. Although they, the lower-level people, had no idea where the so-called 'sacred mountain' was, and they couldn't remember entering the vast mountains.
on the road, let alone what happened on the 'Sacred Mountain'.
In the end, Dafen did not choose to leave with most people. Although he received a huge reward, which the upper class said was enough for them to live a stable and well-off life in the outside world, he decided to stay.
Because his parents and wife are buried here, his home is also here, and he doesn’t know where else to go if he leaves here. For more than a hundred years, Dafen chose to rest here.
