Chapter 60 The end point facing each other across the cliff
I finally let go of my guarded mind, breathed a long sigh of relief, and enjoyed the cheers and glory of the victor. After Matteo took me to accept the congratulations of the Snow Mountain Crusaders, he knelt on one knee in front of me and lowered his head.
He said in a dull voice: "As the defeated person, I accept any ruling you make."
I looked at the dagger at my waist, then at the pile of scattered wood ash, and said with a smile: "Captain Matteo, my victory this time is just a fluke. I have already said it before, and the condition is that you please let me go."
Let’s go over and don’t embarrass those of us, and don’t harm innocent magicians in the future.”
Matteo Snow looked at me in disbelief.
After a while, he stood up and said to me: "Okay, I promise you, but the leader of our Snow Mountain Crusade will always be the bravest warrior, so it is very likely that one day I will not be their commander-in-chief. By then
, I’m afraid it will be difficult to fulfill our agreement.”
"I have heard about your strict selection, so I can only ask you to restrain your subordinates when you are still the regiment leader. After all, there is no winner in the war."
After listening to my words, Matteo Snow thought for a moment, picked up the hand ax, and led his men into the depths of the forest. Although they were outnumbered, they walked into the woods silently, just like the people on the white snow-capped mountains at night.
The ghost, without any unnecessary words or hesitation, moved freely under the command of the regiment commander. The combat effectiveness of this unit is far above all the units I know.
Before Matteo walked into the woods, he turned around and bowed to me, leaving a message: "If you encounter any difficulties in the Kingdom of Taqik, you can come to the Snow Mountain Crusade. The arrival of the winner will always be the glory of the Snow Mountain Crusade."
."
I stood there, with their passionate war cries and the near-death duel still echoing in my mind. Laura's voice came softly to my ears: "Henmo, are you okay? They have left."
After Laura's reminder, I discovered that at some point, this magical nemesis, which came and went invisible like a ghost in the snowy mountains, had completely disappeared into the forest without making a sound.
I returned to the search party, found Kaziz and Sibal, and wanted to see if anyone in the team was injured.
Kaziz said: "Don't worry, Mr. Henmo, I just checked, except for one or two team members who were frightened, the others were not injured. They just kept us under guard."
"That's good, let's all take a rest early. I think at least we can put down our guard against the Snow Mountain Crusaders now."
But Kaziz became interested, sat next to me, looked at me with admiration and said: "Mr. Henmo, I didn't expect that your dueling skills are so superb. Even Matteo...
Snow has been defeated by you."
I smiled bitterly and said, "You haven't seen it. I am really blessed by God. That Captain Matteo is extremely powerful and agile. If I hadn't used the trick I used, I would never have been able to defeat him in the duel."
, you should be ready to cry over my corpse now."
Laura and the others were blocked from the wall by the tall Snow Mountain Crusaders and could not see what was going on inside, so I gave them a general account of how I won the duel.
Kaziz and the others were amazed, and Laura was even more impressed by this Mateo.
"Henmo, you said that Matteo Snow split your water shield with an axe, and crushed your elemental spear with his bare hands?"
I was roasting dry food by the campfire and nodded.
Laura couldn't help but admire: "Oh my God, what kind of terrifying strength and physical fitness is this. No wonder they can hunt down magicians arbitrarily and win every battle. This is simply not a human body, it is a beast!"
That night, we just gathered around a few campfires, and everyone was completely sleepless by the raid and duel. Early the next morning, I took Laura and Sibal to set off to Metmont Mountain. Kaziz and the others
Then patrol and stand by around the camp.
The location where the search team previously camped was very close to Metmont Mountain, so the three of us arrived at the foot of Metmont Mountain before noon, surrounded by only a piece of grass covered with dots of snow.
"Are you sure this is the right way?" Laura pulled Sibal and asked.
Sibal just waved his hand: "Miss Laura, I only heard from my father. As for this place, this is my first time here."
"But there is a cliff in front of here. Where is the way up the mountain? Let alone people, even a bird can't fly to the top of the mountain so high on such a cold day." Laura was a little angry at this time, with the temper of a noble lady.
Came up too.
I walked to the edge of the cliff, lay down on the ground, observed the surrounding cliffs, turned back and said to them: "Sibal found the right way, it's here."
When Laura heard this, she pointed around angrily and said, "Are you dreaming? Look at such a wide cliff in front of you. Do you plan to fly over it? Even if you fly over, you can't fly over such a high mountain on the other side.
Go up?! This road is obviously wrong!"
Sibal was obviously at a loss by Laura's temper. He looked at me in embarrassment for help. I patted Sibal on the shoulder and said to Laura: "You see, this cliff is not naturally formed, but formed by
It was exploded by external force, and it was exploded from top to bottom."
The two of them followed my instructions and came to the edge of the cliff to look down, but Laura seemed to be particularly afraid of heights. As soon as she took one look, she quickly stepped back and did not move towards the edge of the cliff without saying anything.
Sibal looked at it carefully and told me: "Mr. Henmo, this cliff should have been a high-quality iron ore vein. Look, on the stone walls on both sides of the cliff, there are strips of black with red in the middle, like ink stains."
The same thing, that is the legacy of iron ore veins.”
I looked carefully, and sure enough, as Sibal said, there were many mid-red and black lines of varying lengths and thicknesses on the cliff side.
"Sibal, Laura, the cliff here was artificially exploded. You see, the fracture marks on the stone walls around the cliff are surprisingly consistent, from top to bottom, and the cutting surfaces are also progressively smoother. Compared to
Underneath, the naturally formed cliff should have irregular planes and fracture lines, let alone be so smooth. It must have been cut out instantly by a very overbearing external force."
"The power of magic?" It's hard for me to deny Sivar's question. It seems that this is where Gaines said the Merlin brothers fought. So how should we get there now?
The three of us had to split up and look around for a way to get over. I also tried to use magic power to build a bridge between the cliffs, but the elements flow here extremely fast, especially the power of the wind element, which made it impossible for me to stabilize.
