Spellcasting Heavens

Scandinavian Mountains, the longest and highest mountain range in Norway, starting from the Barents Sea in the north, the Norwegian Sea in the west, the Skagerrak in the south, and the Baltic Sea coastal plain in the east, with a length of more than 1,700 kilometers. , between 200 and 600 meters wide, with an average altitude of about 1,000 meters, running through the entire peninsula.

This is the birthplace of Vikings who once slaughtered the whole of Europe, and also the starting point of Norse mythology.

Since both history and modern times, Norway has always been in a sparsely populated state, and two-thirds of the country's land area belongs to areas that are not suitable for human habitation, such as plateaus, mountains and glaciers. Therefore, in the depths of those inaccessible mountains , hides countless legends and secrets.

At this moment, Zhang Cheng was standing on the top of the Garh Peak, looking at the vast white scenery around him, and then asked without looking back, Are you sure this is one of the three marks on the map?

Yes, sir. Although I'm not quite sure where you got this old parchment map, or if it's a treasure map left by a pirate, it's definitely the first marker. A middle-aged uncle who is over 1.9 meters tall gave a positive answer without thinking.

Although he himself does not think that there is anything of value that can be found by relying on a rough and fuzzy map, he still took on this guide job, which required a certain risk, considering the generous salary of 50,000 euros.

You must know that 50,000 euros can be exchanged for about 500,000 kroner, which is equivalent to the total income of ordinary Norwegians who do not eat or drink for a year, and the working time only takes a few days, which is an absolute windfall.

Then what about the other two markers? Where are their approximate locations? Zhang Cheng asked as he took and picked up the ancient parchment fixed in the glass photo frame with the modern map for comparison.

To be honest, he really didn't see the slightest resemblance between the two.

The middle-aged uncle leaned in and hesitated for a moment, then quickly pointed to the mountains about three kilometers away from the north side of the guide: If nothing else, it should be these two places. Look, according to the map's depiction of the sun, only When the sun goes down from the west, the shadows of the three peaks may overlap at some point below.

Triangulation?! So that's the case...

After roughly glancing at the locations of the other two peaks, Zhang Cheng quickly showed an expression of sudden realization.

Taking advantage of the fact that the peaks do not move and the shadows generated when the sun rises and sets to hide the entrance, the original seal set by the Nordic gods is actually in such an inconspicuous place.

That's right!

His trip is to find the first seal that has been broken,

By the way, look at the remains of the senior.

Damn! Shouldn't the treasure of pirates really be buried here? The uncle's eyes revealed excitement and anticipation.

As the birthplace of the earliest pirate culture, Norway, Sweden and Denmark have always had many folk tales and legends, and even occasionally dug up some ancient precious metal currencies and cultural relics, which are the property left by Viking pirates looting everywhere .

Treasure? If you mean gold and silver jewelry, I can tell you for sure no. But in a way, it's a huge treasure, it's just of little use to you.

After all, Zhang Cheng raised his head to look at the position of the sun, and sat down on the snow, patiently waiting for the ever-changing shadows of the three peaks at the foot of the mountain.

Well, it looks like I think too much.

Hearing that it was not gold and silver jewelry, the middle-aged uncle lost interest in this expedition, took out the stainless steel jug he carried with him, unscrewed the lid, raised his head and took a gulp.

Although the northern hemisphere has almost officially entered summer, on the peak of more than 2,000 meters above sea level, it still maintains a low temperature of minus ten degrees Celsius, and drinking spirits can greatly relieve it.

The two sat in the same place for four and a half hours before the shadows of the three peaks finally merged into one point on a cliff.

Through the telescope, you can vaguely see that there is an inconspicuous cave entrance at the position of the coincidence point.

But the interesting thing is that it is close to the west, with the endless Norwegian Sea below.

Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for humans to climb up even with the help of climbing tools.

Seeing this scene, the uncle stood up subconsciously and exclaimed: My God! A cave on a cliff! Unbelievable! No one has ever discovered it for so many years!

Looks like I'm lucky! Zhang Cheng patted the snow on his buttocks and ran in the direction of the cave without saying a word.

But before he could run far, the uncle guide couldn't help shouting: Are you crazy? There are cliffs there! And you didn't bring any climbing tools or safety ropes! If you accidentally fall and fall, you must be It will fall into patties!

Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly: Don't worry, I'm not as vulnerable as you think. In addition, thank you for leading the way. The employment relationship between us is over here, you can go back.

After saying this, he ignored the other party and slowly climbed down the shale layer that bulged on the side of the cliff.

In fact, if it weren't for the presence of outsiders, he would have used flying or teleportation spells long ago, so why would he need such trouble.

But unfortunately, the uncle of the guide was quite responsible, and kept standing beside him and watched him climb into the hole, and then turned around and returned the same way with his bag on his back.

Looking at the back of the other party, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, took out the key - the Eye of Odin from his pocket, and walked carefully along the cave.

After a while, he came to a giant stalactite hundreds of meters high.

It is not known whether it is human intervention or natural formation. This huge stalactite is not like a bamboo shoot like its counterparts, but looks like a giant tree rising from the ground.

There is a thumb-sized spring beside the tree, and the slightly turbid groundwater is constantly gushing out.

Interesting... If I guess correctly, this should be the World Tree in Norse mythology, and this spring is the legendary fountain of wisdom. According to the description of Odin in Eda, I only need to put Odin Putting the Eye into the Fountain of Wisdom, Eight Achievements can open the entrance of the seal.

After muttering to himself, Zhang Cheng placed the Eye of Odin above the spring.

moment!

The entire spring seemed to come alive, swallowing the Eye of Odin in one bite, followed by the huge stalactite world tree that began to tremble violently for some reason, and finally opened a small teleportation entrance at the center of the tree trunk.

Unlike most portals, this entrance is more like a mirror, or a pool of still lake and well water, occasionally flowing slightly.

On the other side of the water, it is also not land, but a place with extremely low light visibility like the deep sea.
