Dawn of the Grey Tower

On the third day after discovering the strange footprints, the cheese and the cursed crow could no longer see the ground below, and they could hardly even see the lower rocks.

However, the climbing between the two of them was not boring during this time. Mages are people who need to endure loneliness. In other words, only by learning to enjoy silence can they set their minds to study spells for a long time in a remote workshop.

Especially at times like this when you know you have something to do, it's important or not, it's stressful, it's anticipating, and then time seems to stretch on the way to a certain place up.

Obviously life is always moving from one point to another, but sometimes people inexplicably expect that the time between two points will be longer, even if this period of time itself is meaningless, it will not bring any change to what will happen . why? I guess it's because there's a certain kind of peace in it, not a long-term peace in which everything is quiet, but a momentary and eternal peace in the midst of the hustle and bustle.

To achieve that kind of tranquility, another element is necessary, which is detachment, or detachment. The word detachment sounds very high, like the profound kung fu realm that Jian Qi would say, but that is just that the interpreter pays too much attention to the word detachment, and does not pay attention to the meaning of detachment.

Transcendence, detachment, this is certainly suffering, because it means that the individual has a high perspective that can overlook the original situation, or thinks that he has obtained this perspective. But getting out is easy. There is always something that one can get out of, such as uncomfortable clothes or a depressing house. At the moment of detachment, people often feel joyful, peaceful and peaceful.

This may also be the reason why sailors and shepherds are always myth narrators. In this world, they have a lot of time to break away from all worldly shackles, so as to gain peace, and in peace, they use their imaginations to witness things that are ignored by others. .

The cheese and the cursed crow are now in this kind of tranquility. It does not conflict with the harmonious resonance in Qi theory, and it always appears together. However, the latter often requires people to understand Qi to be able to feel it, while the former does not need to have that kind of experience. Base.

Being on a 100-meter-high cliff, with a deep valley below your feet and endless mountains above your head, this should be a desperate situation, but apart from the physical cold and fatigue, Cheese has no psychological discomfort. And the curse crow, who originally thought he should be unwell, gradually calmed down in the simple communication with Cheese every day.

During these three days, what the two of them said may be more sincere than what they have said in the past few years. Cheese even taught Curse Crow how to learn Qi, but currently due to the strange state of limbs, Curse Crow cannot really let Qi cycle up.

On this day, it was time for them to prepare for the resting place. Cheese raised his head, looked at the rock above, looking for a place that could be used as a fulcrum. Then he saw a strange figure covered in white hair standing abruptly in the ice and snow. The mage wanted to shout subconsciously, but in the blink of an eye, the shadow disappeared.

Hallucination? This is an explanation that Cheese won't believe. The mage believed in his body's judgment, he knew what he had just seen. If it's a hallucination, it's caused by something, not a ghostly image of self-deception.

It's just that Cheese didn't rush to tell the cursed crow about it, he still looked for the foothold seriously, and used alchemy dice to dig out a cave for two people to live in. Before entering the cave, he took another look at the place where the white long-haired ghost appeared. As a result, of course there was nothing, there was not even a platform for people to settle down.

"Do you know any white-haired creatures that inhabit the mountains?" Cheese immediately brought up such a topic after the two sat down.

Of course, Curse Crow didn't know that there was such a creature. This was mainly because people of this era, even those who were as knowledgeable as gray robes, would not stay in the snow mountain for a long time on purpose. The reason is simple, except for a few snow mountain plants and pure ice crystals, there is nothing favored by spellcasters. The white snow covers everything, whether it is minerals or anything else, it is impossible to obtain in the ice.

If the mage is like this, let alone the others. The Frost Guards should be the group of people who are most familiar with snow mountains in the world, but even they will only patrol the plank roads left by their ancestors. Don't dare to take half a step. If there really are some unknown creatures that live deep in the snow-capped mountains and don't like to approach humans, that's perfectly normal.

"Is it possible to be a dwarf? You know, an older dwarf's beard is as long as his body. If his hair is also white, it sounds very close to your description." Curse Crow thought for a while, and made this judge.

Mountains, dwarves, long hair, this is indeed an explanation that fits all situations.

"Dwarves can't leave such footprints." Cheese retorted softly, thinking of the footprints he saw a few days ago.

Due to their height, dwarves tend to have smaller feet than ordinary human males, but only slightly smaller. The length of the soles of most dwarves is close to that of humans. This is because their bodies have higher muscle density than humans, so they need more exaggerated proportions of lower limbs to support their bodies.

In the same way, very few dwarves can learn to swim, and most dwarves are like stones, which will sink forever when thrown into the water.

"Perhaps the dwarves are not the same species as the ones that left the footprints. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Or they have mutated during their long-term life in the snow-capped mountains."

Curse Crow continued to maintain his inference. He didn't intend to argue with Cheese, but only through this kind of debate can they quickly reason out the most reasonable explanation.

"It's not impossible. Tomorrow, you can go to the place where the thing stood. If you can find a hair sample, things will be much easier." Cheese shrugged and said.

The reason why they don't collect possible evidence now is also because the two mages don't really care about the ghost. High mountains, wind and snow, unknown creatures that have never been seen before, this should be a frightening environment, but if you master the magic from heaven to earth, with giant dragons as companions, and demons as servants, then this seems to be a terrifying environment. No big deal.

No matter how weird that thing was, it was nothing more than that, and it was only used as a flavoring agent in this boring trip.

However, sometimes a casual discovery will greatly change the future direction, which has been proven thousands of times.

It seems that this journey over Longji Mountain will not continue so monotonously.
