The Record of Unusual Creatures

Hao Ren noticed that Kaim’s negotiations with the defending soldiers seemed to have some problems. The broken sword knight who appeared to be extremely confident along the way came back with a slightly shocked look, which made him unable to ask: "Is it a problem?"

"A little unexpected," Kem shook his head and said the intelligence that the soldier told him. "...This is different from the plan I knew when I left. The Royal Highness Princess and the Northern Grand Duke advanced the plan, and ahead of schedule. More than a little bit of this, the sword-breaking knights coming from other parts of the empire and the insurgents who responded to the call are likely to be out of line with the frontline offensive."

Kem had a confused expression on his face, and apparently he did not know why Princess Constance had launched the attack so urgently.

"It seems that the situation under the Princess Temple is not very optimistic," Vivian was the first time to sniff out the bad atmosphere from this change. "In case of insufficient preparation, it is a taboo to attack in advance." There is only one possibility for her to do so, that is, the situation is forced..."

"Don't we go into the city?" Lily blinked and looked at Hao Ren and looked at Frost Snow City. "Let's go straight to chase the princess?"

"Advanced City rests for one night." Hao Ren patted Lily's head and let the husky girl dispel the idea of ​​rushing into the snowfield and rushing to the front line for a few hundred miles. Although he also understands that the guy from the sled dog is seeing the ice and snow. The excitement of the time, but not all of the team is a snow-capped person like her. Charlemagne and others are ordinary people of the flesh. They follow the team from the southern part of the empire, and they are also the black pine forest. It was once smashed by the bombs of ancient weapons, and it was already exhausted. At this time, they pulled them on the snowfield for hundreds of miles to go to the front line.

And Hao Ren himself really intends to take a break in the city. Not only is the experience of this road a little tired, but more importantly, many of the information just collected needs to be quietly sorted out, and it is closest to this abyss in Gorgon. He is also very curious about what clues will be found in Frost Syracuse.

Kem also nodded. "This is the best. I heard that there is a blizzard tonight. Although our car is protected, there may be wandering monsters in the Northland in the snowstorm. It is not a good idea to continue on the road."

Vivian asked curiously: "Do we have a place to live in the city?"

Kem said with a knightly manner: "The sword-breaking knight has a stagnation point in Frosty Snow City, but if Charlemagne and His Royal Highness are willing, I can arrange for you to go to the 驿馆 that is specially prepared for the important ambassador. Comfortable."

Charlemagne nodded. "That would bother you. We have come to the land of His Highness, and I believe that my sister and I are safe here."

So under the leadership of Kem, the active sword-breaking knight, Hao Ren and his team finally entered the largest fortress in the northern city of Frost and Snow City.

After passing through the entrance to the fortress, which is extremely thick and consisting of a large number of enchanted stone bricks and defense machinery, the true face of Frost Snow City is in front of everyone. The layers of thick and heavy barriers are like a protective shell covering the exterior of the “mountain city”, but the fortress is not dull by the walls, on the multi-storey walls. There are a large number of clusters of ice crystals arranged in an exquisite array, which directs the outside sunlight into the first layer of the city, and on the first layer of the mountain, you can see more crystal clusters growing along the building. The clusters extend all the way to the hollowed out mountain and re-import the outside light...

The whole frost snow city shines in the light miracle outlined by the ice crystal.

Due to the special “mountain-by-mountain, mountain-built” structure of Frost and Snow City, the city can be said to be arranged in a three-dimensional arrangement, while the museum dedicated to the important envoys is located near the castle of the lord, close to the foothills, and below. The residential area has a height difference of several kilometers, but the visitors do not need to climb up and down the winding stone steps between the buildings, because there are as many as 122 lifts in the mountain. It works around the clock, just as the public transportation system provides convenience for people living in the city.

Hao Ren and his party took the vehicle again, and accompanied by Kaim and several northern soldiers, they crossed the traffic area at the bottom of the city and entered the elevator that was hidden in the mountain and circulated along a sloped ramp. With a slight mechanical friction, the scale-up platform, which is very large, starts to accelerate smoothly and moves toward the mountain.

“This platform is designed for guests who need to visit the top of the mountain. It does not stop in the middle and is twice as fast as other platforms,” said a Northland soldier who was in charge of the city. “There is no pride in introducing the city,” You can see a transparent passage in the middle section, which is built with ice cubes with a permafrost effect, don't worry about falling, and you can see the inner city inside the mountain through it."

The platform runs briskly in the sloping elevator channel, and every other time there is a light source sweeping around. It is a cluster of crystals buried in the mountain. The outside sunlight is sent into the city through the clusters, just like natural lights. General. Not long after leaving, Hao Ren saw the "transparent channel."

It is like a glass tube reserved for tourists. Through the crystal clear ice wall, Hao Ren saw the inner city of Frost Snow City. He saw a large number of buildings arranged in an orderly manner in the mountain. There are many facilities like factories, but probably because the army has already set off, the inner city is not as lively as imagined, but it has a sense of desertion: after all, every city in the north is first a military fortress. Exist, after the large number of soldiers were transferred, the operation of the city naturally slowed down.

Suddenly, Hao Ren’s attention was drawn to a particularly striking building in the inner city: it was a large building standing in the center of the mountain cavity, built with black stones and neatly arranged like a spear. The main part of the tower is a three-story palace.

The palace was obviously out of place with the surrounding buildings. It was circled separately. There was not only a circle around it, but also soldiers patrolling guards. If you don’t know that the castle of the northern Dagong is located in the foothills, Hao Ren almost wants I thought that this palace in the mountainside was the lord of Frost Snow City.

"What is that?" Lily also saw the black palace with a sharp eye and couldn't help but curiously ask.

"Ah, that's the old palace," Kem replied casually. "A few thousand years ago, the Emperor's Majesty lived there."

Although he was already on the side of the "rebels", when Kim mentioned the words "the Emperor's Majesty", there was still no unnaturalness, and even a tribute of respect in the tone, and the surrounding Northland soldiers There was no abnormal performance, which made Hao Ren could not help but look at him more.

"Old Palace?" Lily's curiosity is even better. "Wait... You said that the Dragon Empire moved over, the old capital was in the north, so..."

"You don't even know this?" The Northbound soldiers who accompanied him looked at Lily with amazement. "Frost Snow City is the old empire, but it was already thousands of years ago."

"They don't know much about the history of the Dragon Empire," Kem took over and shifted the topic. "In fact, most of the city has been remodeled and built twice in full accordance with the fortress. It’s already very different from the old ones of the year. Of course, the old palaces you see still retain their original appearance, and there are also several commemorative places that still maintain the old times. If you are interested, tomorrow I You can take you to these places to visit. In addition to not being able to enter the palace, many places are open to the public."

Hao Ren looked at the old palace, which was about to leave his sight, and whispered to himself: "Hundreds of years of history... still stand upright, it does mean something."

The sound of the data terminal sounded in his mind: "What's more interesting is that there are some weak energy pulses released under the old palace, and the energy samples are quite complex."

Hao Ren slightly decapitated and replied in his mind: "This city is worth exploring."

Then he quickly added: "I am talking about the kind that will not explode!"

Data terminal: "... Well, this machine has nothing to say..."

Hao Ren: "..."

With the introduction of Kem, and the "identity certificate" that Charlemagne and Avenina bring, the group stayed in Frost Snow City very smoothly.

In fact, Hao Ren did not care about how Kaim and Charlemagne dealt with the temporary governor in the city. He just looked forward to being settled in the museum and then began his own exploration.

Before the night fell, everyone finally settled into the warm shack near the lord's castle and ate a sumptuous meal in the warm fireplace hall.

This can be said to be the first meal that Hao Ren and his entourage have eaten in a stable environment since entering the world.

If it wasn’t for Vivienne and Hao Ren to join hands, Lily almost ate the table...

After dinner, the people who were physically and mentally exhausted naturally did not participate in any interest in the visit. Hao Ren also returned to the room arranged for himself after he had a good night with other people.

The foothills where the pavilion is located are not blocked by the city walls. The cold night is sprinkled into the house through the large floor-to-ceiling windows. The red light of the Gorgon abyss is also mixed in the night, as if the blood is filled.

The city has been quiet, but the wind from the plains is gradually strengthening and whistling through the world, and in the wind, you can already see the shadow of the snowstorm.

Hao Ren knocked on the outer casing of the data terminal: "Synchronize the field of vision, you help me stare around."

The data terminal flashed a bit, and then Hao Ren felt a flower in front of his eyes, and the field of vision suddenly switched.

A world of thunder and flames appeared in front of him.

The field of view comes from the No. 3 probe, the current location, and the outer area of ​​the Gorgon Abyss.

First appeared in front of Hao Ren, is an extremely large star ship wreck, the wreck has a striking text:

Revelation number.
