The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 825 Can You Swim?

Treasure maps basically do not exist in reality, and more of them exist as a main line to advance the story in entertainment works.

The so-called treasure maps are more often than not just pictures, but also text and a lot of hints.

The treasure of the tyrant Nemesis had no intention of being found from the very beginning, and all hints about the location of the treasure were secretly made by people who were dissatisfied with Nemesis.

Given that Nemesis' influence at the time was extremely exaggerated, those who knew the treasure must have dared not reveal anything.

But because the waiting process was relatively long, the reminder about the treasure that was left behind was left to their descendants to deal with. They may plan to dig out the treasure after the limelight has passed.

It's just that I didn't expect a disaster that was not just divine punishment or some kind of magical disaster to destroy all traces.

There should have been some hints and clues from word of mouth, and with the mithril disc in Petra's hand, the clues passed down by word of mouth are definitely gone, and the rest can only rely on the hints and wild guesses on the mithril disc.

Regarding the specific location of the treasure, both Saili and Petra had a lot of guesses and disagreements. Every time they discussed this matter, they acted like old pedants who liked to pick out words, and no one could convince the other.

But regarding the 'Crimson Beyond', neither side has any objection, it is the fastest locked location.

In the northeast of the Kingdom of Faggas, in the territory now controlled by the Revolutionary Army, there is a special scenic spot.

——Red Valley.

It just so happens that the continent of Fudora is circular, and the red valley is almost equivalent to the position of two o'clock on the dial.

It is called this because the canyon is bright red after the sun goes down, and it is different from the red of iron ore, but completely bright red, and it can even be said to be blood red.

And the red canyon will only last for an hour or two. When it is completely dark, the color of the canyon will return to ordinary.

Sai Li said that this is because the stones that make up the canyon are mainly composed of fire opal crystals, which absorb the fire element in the air during the day, and release the fire element due to the temperature difference at sunset, which naturally forms this kind of spectacle. People who love to travel will also come to Honggu to watch the sunset.

It is also because a large amount of fire elements will be released in the evening, which makes it extremely difficult for the vegetation around the Red Valley to grow, and it looks like a bare valley from a distance.

However, although Honggu meets the requirements of "The Other Side of Crimson", it does not meet the conditions of "When the Three Kings Come".

Because when the three kings appeared, the red color of the red valley had long since disappeared, and the color was not deep red.

If you want to see the real 'beyond the crimson', you have to go through the valley and keep going.

Because this place is very close to the territory occupied by the Faggas Revolutionary Army, Lin Tianci and the others will encounter many checkpoints set by the guards even if they take a detour along the way.

After all, although the civil war has not yet started, the situation has become very tense, and there must be some vigilance.

At this time, it is necessary to rely on the art of transformation and acting skills to deal with it.

Lin Tianci used illusion to disguise himself and Petra as middle-aged people in their 50s and [-]s, and told the guards that they were a couple returning home to visit relatives.

The reason for saying this is that because of the tense situation, many ordinary people can only be forced to stand in line. If they still live at the junction of the two sides, there may be a fight one day that will hurt Chiyu.

Just because there were a lot of people walking around in the name of returning home to visit relatives recently, the guards simply checked their carriages and let them pass after confirming that there was no problem.

It was also thanks to them that they didn't check too carefully, otherwise Lin Tianci would have to fight a lot to break through the level.

All in all, after traveling for about 20 days, the two people who made a big circle gradually approached the famous Red Valley in a carriage.And when the evening was approaching, he got off the main road and embarked on a small road that was less traveled towards the Red Valley.

As the evening approached, Lin Tianci also took a look at the wonders of the Red Valley.

When the woods on both sides of the path disappeared, a valley formed by a whole mountain range emerged before the eyes, shining magnificent red light in the setting sun, at first glance it looked like a huge ruby ​​embedded in the ground.

Even if he was far away, Lin Tianci could feel the hot wind coming from the pavement, as well as the strong power of the fire element. If Sai Li hadn't explained the principle, he probably thought it was a different world version of the Flame Mountain.

But I can see it, but it's still a little far away.

Until the red light covering the entire valley disappeared, when the night fell and the stars came out to blink, the carriage stopped at the foot of Honggu Mountain.

From here on, there is no way to take a carriage. The road into the valley is very narrow and rugged, and the carriage cannot pass.

However, Lin Tianci and the others would not be able to cross mountains and ridges with bare hands. The reason why Honggu is called Honggu instead of Hongshan is because its shape is U-shaped, and there are several cracks that may be formed by geological movements that can lead to the U. The inside of the font valley.

The two chose a relatively gentle road up the mountain. As a monk, Lin Tianci naturally walked on flat ground. Petra looked like a weak woman, but she was born of a dragon. In terms of physical fitness, it might be even more exaggerated than Lin Tianci, so the actions of the two The speed is not too slow.

A few hours later, when the full moon rose into the sky, the two of them successfully arrived in the Red Valley.

Compared with the barrenness outside the valley, the inside of the valley is somewhat richer.

This point mainly refers to a lake in the U-shaped valley.

But unlike ordinary lakes, the water in this lake exudes steam all year round. Even if it is not boiling water, it is probably at least about forty degrees.

This is also because of the Red Valley, a large amount of fire elements are emitted every day, and by the way, the lake is heated, showing an effect similar to a hot spring.

The lake belongs to warm water, and only a small amount of fish and shrimps that can adapt to this environment can survive, and what occupies the space of the lake is a kind of algae like aquatic plants.

What these algal organisms want is a warm environment, and the whole body is dark red. The locals call it the blood algae, which has a certain healing ability. Because of the large number, it also dyes the entire lake deep red.

This lake located in the Red Valley is the 'Crimson Beyond' referred to on the Mithril Disc.

In addition to the color correspondence, in the territory map of the old empire, the Red Valley is already the border of the old empire.Going further to the northeast, although there are also a large number of cities, they were reclaimed territories after the Old Empire discovered that they were suitable for planting wheat and other crops. During the Old Empire, there was a barren land.

Lin Tianci and Petra found a nearby hill overlooking the lake for a while, and looked around.

The crimson end has been found, but it doesn't look like there is any clue to go there next.

The reason is very simple, because it's not yet 'when the three kings come'.

The status of the three kings is similar to that of the morning star, which only appears when the sun is about to rise in the early morning. Lin Tianci and the others came a little early.

Petra held a small metal tube in her mouth, which gave off a light similar to a flashlight. Using this light, she took out a map and wrote on it.

Obviously, I have never been idle along the way, so I really don't know what else to look at.

Brother Lin scanned the surroundings, and after confirming that there was no one else coming except them, he took out Qibao Liuli and the same spirit fruit.

Qibao Liuli, who is as high as the fourth rank, has a stubborn personality, and Lin Tianci's cultivation base of the fifth rank is not very appreciated by it. Since Lin Tianci passed the hurdle of the fifth rank, he has used the same spirit fruit to try to establish contact with it almost every day. But it just doesn't work out.

The versatility of the magic weapon is really not as good as that of the magic item. Looking at the North Wind Ring, it can be used on the hand without any compromise.Looking at Qibao Liuli again, in terms of aura and grade, it might not be as high as the North Wind Ring, but it has a lot of prestige.

If you want to be successful, you have to rely on softness and hard work, there is no other way.

As time goes by, the moon gradually moves from the east to the center of the sky, and then falls from the center towards the west.

The time is gradually approaching dawn, and the distant horizon has even appeared hazy white. The originally bright stars are like a concert after the end, and there are only a few left.

At this time, three stars arranged in a triangle rose from the east. Since the other stars were gradually becoming invisible, it seemed that the brightness of these three stars was extremely high. can see.

It stands to reason that this time has already come, and the sun will be out in half an hour, but the brightness of the three stars has not decreased, but has become brighter and brighter. After more than ten minutes, it looks like three small stars. What date of the moon.

The stars hang dimly in the night sky, and the three clusters of light are like inks that melted in the water, occupying a corner of the sky.

This is the astrological phenomenon of the Three Kings, which happens every 33 years and throughout the year.

So here comes the question, we have reached the "Three Kings Advent", what is the next clue?
"Look, look at the lake!"

Petra excitedly pulled Lin Tianci, making him turn his gaze from the starlight to the lake.

The smooth mirror-like lake water, which is dark red under the influence of algae, also reflects the starlight of the Three Kings. The starlight has an effect like refraction on the water surface, as if... what is the pattern?
It is not clear from where they are now, Petra quickly pulled Lin Tianci to change positions, and moved more than 100 meters. At this time, looking at the starlight reflected on the lake, it became similar to two triangles stacked together. and staggered shapes.

It sounds like a pattern of a hexagram, but in fact the angle is wrong, and the staggered position looks a bit asymmetrical.

Petra glanced at it, and immediately pulled out the notepad from her backpack.

Now she drew a circle on the notebook, and then marked the location of the star pattern.

"It seems that neither Sally nor I have guessed correctly. The branch of the unicorn is not a place name, but a constellation."

It's not known how she came to this conclusion, but Petra then explained:
"In the astrology of the old empire, there are twelve vital constellations, and there is a reincarnation every 12 years in the calendar."

This is roughly similar to the twelve zodiac signs, right?But it's a different world version.

"The pattern of the three stars reflected on the lake is basically the same as that of Frost Leaf. At first, we thought that the branch of the Unicorn referred to a certain place, but if it refers to the constellation, then I translated it wrong. Accurate "The tributary of the unicorn" should be translated as "the extra horn of the unicorn". It represents a bicorn, not a unicorn. And the image of a bicorn is also found in the astrology of the old empire. The constellation called Gemini, its position in the sky is exactly the opposite of the star pattern of Trinity, Frost Leaf."

Looking at the notebook, and then at the lake, Petra turned to Lin Tianci with a happy smile that anyone could see:
"Can you swim?"
