Dawn of the Grey Tower

Climb, climb up. With each step, the outline of the mountain becomes clearer, and each step brings us closer to the finish line. Cheese has chosen the lower pass of Longji Mountain. Although its height looks desperate at the foot of the mountain, after nearly ten days of climbing, the two gray robes have already made more than half of the progress.

According to cheese's prediction, the next thing they have to consider is how to deal with the way down the mountain. If possible, it is best to find a safe way to downhill. The Transfiguration technique proposed by the Cursed Crow is a worthwhile reference. It’s not that they can solve the problem that birds cannot fly in low temperature environments, but that flying is not the exclusive privilege of birds.

If they can use local materials near the top of the mountain to make a gliding machine similar to the sky carriage of the City of Laws, then they can devote their energy to using heat preservation methods to survive the falling process. Of course, it would be better if the glider could be more concealed.

Just as Cheese was thinking about how to make a concealed slow-descent device, the corner of his clothes began to flutter inexplicably, and the wind began to blow again. Fortunately, the mountain wind that blows this time is not very strong, probably because the height here has reached the place where the air is thin, so even the wind is a little weaker.

The two gray robes also had to add magic to themselves to ensure that the oxygen they breathed was enough to maintain their bodies. If there is any animal in this kind of place that can walk like flying, regardless of the difficulty of the body structure, just breathing will become a huge burden, unless it does not need to breathe.

"We're in company."

Cheese noticed the abnormal protrusion on the rock wall, and quickly judged that the thing should be the limb of some kind of creature. He wrapped his voice with magic, and told his companions behind him in the most secret way. From then on, the two mages no longer went up and down, but turned into a parallel formation and climbed up from the left and right sides. They carefully observed the bulge, and also observed all the surrounding stone walls.

It is said that there is a kind of mountain giant who sleeps in the mountains. People can sometimes see some unnatural limbs on their bodies, but it is just the giant's nose or hair. When the giant is awakened, its body will be at the same level as the mountains.

Dragon's Ridge Mountain seems to be very suitable for the environment in which these legends happened, and even if it is not a huge monster, it is just something with a bad temper, the danger brought by the steep rock wall is enough to cause headaches.

Just when the gray-robed mages were ready to fight the stone giant under unfavorable conditions, reality played a bad joke on them again. After careful approach, cheese found that the protruding limbs were not stone giants or other unknown creatures, but belonged to a species that cheese was very familiar with, human beings.

What he saw was actually a human arm that had been frozen for an unknown amount of time, blackened and hardened, with ice condensed on it. That arm has been stretched into the snow, people can't help but imagine the dead body as stiff and cold as it in the snow.

Now the problem, there are two. One is a human corpse, why does it appear here? You must know that there are indeed some peoples in this world who believe that the souls of the deceased will rise to the sky and even reach an ideal world outside the sky, so they deliberately place the remains of the deceased as high as possible.

But the harsh climate of Dragon's Ridge Mountain and the nearby natural structure can't support this kind of funeral. Besides, among the known human races, only the Frost Guards have a strong dependence on Dragon's Ridge Mountain, and their death is cremated and the ashes Sprinkling to the northern wilderness, not resting on the mountains. So who is this corpse? And why is it here?

Wanting to answer the first question, it leads to the second question, how should the cheese deal with what they see in front of them at this time? Is it to dig up the snow and ice, so that the buried bodies can be seen again? Still pretending not to see, continue on the road.

There is no doubt that ignoring the abnormality in front of you and pretending that nothing happened is a better way for ordinary people to survive. There is no need to know many things in detail, because detailed cognition will have to pay a corresponding price.

But who let there be two gray robes here? They don't care about auspiciousness or danger, and curiosity drives these spellcasters to seek answers to all phenomena.

"I'm going to prepare the camp." After the cheese finished speaking, he was about to dig a cave for the night.

To be on the safe side, he didn't plan to transport the corpse into the cave, but opened a shelter at the location of the corpse, which would save a lot of trouble. The cursed crow agreed, and was responsible for guarding around while the cheese was preparing.

Both yesterday's footprints and today's body are disturbing, and it is not known whether there is a connection between the two. If so, what is the relationship between the white-haired ghost and this corpse? Facts sometimes break through the limits of imagination, and sometimes are unexpectedly simple.

Because the shape of the cave needed this time is special, the cheese can't be opened until the sunset. It stands to reason that it is definitely an unknown thing for UU Reading www.uukanshu.com to dig up a corpse on a dark night, but with the light of the dawn, there is nothing to worry about. The light of the morning light is the bane of all filth, let alone The mage is not comparable to ordinary tomb robbers.

"Are you ready?"

Curse Crow stopped at the last link of casting the spell and asked, this behavior is like drawing a bow to its full capacity and delaying shooting an arrow. It stands to reason that it will cause irreparable damage to the bow and bowstring, but the master's skillful casting Skills let him have no worries about this.

"let's start."

Cheese's eyes radiated blue magic light, and the cursed crow was responsible for removing the snow, and he was responsible for responding to possible changes. This is mainly because the curse needs a more accurate target, and whether the thing buried in the snow is a complete human corpse is still not conclusive.

Before the words fell, the snow had already rolled up, forming a tornado in the air and then lightly separated towards the two sides, like a wave being cut, or bread being torn apart. The thing under the snow finally came to light again, and it was indeed a human corpse.

However, there was another huge hole behind the corpse.

"It looks like it's shedding its skin."

Cheese confirmed the condition of the corpse, determined that it was not a threat, and then tried to explore the conspicuous gap, and found that there were no human organs in the gap, and even the bones were much missing.

"Is it possible that something hollowed him out along this wound? I've heard some beasts eat that way."

"Not impossible. The atrophy is so severe that the only certainty is that it has been here for a long, long time. Look here, the leg bones are clearly different from ours, if not deformed, this is probably the result of evolution."

Curse Crow slightly narrowed one eye, "You mean, this is an ancient person?"
