Chapter 164 Between the Mountains (Please subscribe!)
The reason why a tool person is called a tool person is because she (or he) can give and help others emotionally, materially and financially without asking for anything in return, either unknowingly or willingly.
Bruno could easily see the potential of Isabel, who was obsessed with mathematics, to become an excellent tool person.
Since Bruno was a single man in his previous life, he really didn't know any techniques to pick up girls.
So he gave Isabel a copy of "Advanced Mathematics (Part 1)" as a gift for their meeting.
after all……
Isabel's love for mathematics is obvious.
At the same time, Bruno personally instructed Liszt to prepare a guest room on the first floor of the sky garden for Isabelle. After all, she was the daughter of Viscount Conte and must be treated well.
Bruno was not opposed to letting the visiting guests live in the sky garden, but he absolutely could not tolerate the servants bringing guests into the garden without his permission. These were two completely different concepts! Isabel was naturally very happy to get "Advanced Mathematics (Part 1)". Before she could say a few words to Bruno, she slipped into her room with a thick book in her hand to do exercises, looking like a small town exerciser.
…
Deep in the Almis Mountains.
An expedition team led by Krell is traveling through the dense forest.
Limited by the extremely low productivity of this era, the Almis Mountains are in a stage where they have never been developed.
Although there are no terrifying magical creatures in the mountains and forests of the Almis Mountains, the most common wild birds and beasts living deep in the forest are not something that ordinary people can easily test.
If civilian soldiers were allowed to go to the battlefield with black bread, they could still fight, because both sides were equally bad. But if they were asked to fight for their lives with ferocious and swift jackals, tigers and leopards with black bread in their pockets, it would be nothing but a foolish dream.
Therefore, even the most experienced hunters in Idar Territory do not dare to travel alone deep in the mountains.
Even in times of famine, few people dared to try their luck deep in the mountains.
This is because, according to the laws of the Norman Empire, mountains, forests and grass all belonged to the lord, and anyone who wanted to cut down trees or hunt in the mountains and forests had to pay a tax to the local lord.
In addition, the dangers deep in the mountains are well known, so the common people would not be stupid enough to give money to the lord and risk their lives in vain.
It is in this context that the Almis Mountains have almost retained the most primitive appearance of this era.
"roar!"
Just as the soldiers were walking cautiously in the woods, with a deafening roar, a huge monster emerged from the woods nearby.
That was a brown bear that was three meters tall!
"Spread out freely and prepare for battle!" Claire commanded calmly.
"yes!"
Both the experts from the Intelligence Bureau and the soldiers from the regular army had serious expressions and drew out the sabers at their waists.
This was not the first time the soldiers had encountered these beasts. Along the way, Idar's soldiers had already hunted down three wild leopards and a grizzly bear! Therefore, when facing this huge beast, although the soldiers were a little nervous, they were not at a loss.
The saber with a burning magic circle drawn on it slashed across the side of the brown bear, and scarlet blood gradually appeared under the scorched fur.
The brown bear became furious in pain and rushed towards the soldier closest to him with a roar.
After these battles, the soldiers had already developed a tacit understanding of cooperation.
Just as the brown bear pounced towards the soldier, dozens of arrows shot towards the furious brown bear like thunder.
These arrows are no longer the first batch of crappy arrows that only have acceleration magic arrays drawn on them. With the careful improvement of the mage apprentices, burning magic arrays are also drawn on the arrows.
For a moment, it seemed as if there was a flame burning in the brown bear's flesh and blood, which actually stopped the brown bear's attack.
It was during the time when the brown bear was busy that Idar's soldiers quickly dispersed and almost shot the brown bear into a hedgehog...
As Clare raised his sword and slashed it, the brown bear officially became another soul killed by the sword on the expedition team's road ahead.
This sudden encounter did not stop the expedition team's progress. Under Claire's leadership, they forged a path leading deep into the mountains and climbed upward along the ridge.
The expedition team's progress was not actually that fast.
Because every time they arrived at a relatively flat and safe place, the intelligence personnel of the Intelligence Bureau would, under the protection of the soldiers, begin to map the terrain and topography along the way, record what they saw and heard along the way, and strive to complete the tasks assigned by the Earl to the greatest extent possible.
So, when the soldiers of the expedition team finally let out a surprised shout at the distant mountains, it was already the seventeenth day since the expedition team entered the mountains.
Claire, who had just walked out of the canyon, looked from afar and felt that the surprise and shock in his heart were becoming increasingly difficult to suppress.
Now they were in a vast basin surrounded by countless towering mountains.
If the expedition team had not discovered a narrow path between two mountains after crossing the mountains, no matter how long they explored, they would have found it difficult to reach this secret place hidden deep among the mountains.
Because the steep mountains surrounding this basin are extremely difficult to climb, the slopes in many places can even reach over 70 degrees!
This narrow path between the two mountains is probably the only way in and out of this basin.
However, compared with the creation that could barely be called a "mountain" standing in the center of this basin, this slope was like drizzle...
That "mountain" was probably a giant cylindrical rock hundreds of meters high, almost completely vertical above the ground!
And if you look closely, there seem to be hundreds of parallel cracks around it, dividing the entire cylindrical rock into hexagonal prisms!
The huge hexagonal stone pillar certainly shocked Claire, but what made Claire unable to calm down for a long time was...
At the narrowest point of the path leading to the basin,
Although it has been weathered by wind and rain for countless years, you can still see traces of human excavation, and even piles of dead bones scattered on the ground! This discovery made almost all the members of the expedition team feel a strong chill!
In the remote mountains with few inhabitants, it is possible to pick up countless human remains. Anyone who encounters such a situation would probably feel a chill all over their body...
At this very moment,
Just as the soldiers were trying to muster up the courage to continue moving deeper into the basin, a huge black shadow suddenly streaked across the sky accompanied by a sharp cry.
Claire raised his head and looked at the huge figure in the sky...
Like a bird...but not a bird...
Gradually...
As the bird of prey in the sky gradually circled and descended, it suddenly swooped down towards the people on the ground! At the moment when the man and the beast looked at each other, a figure that had been sealed in the classics suddenly appeared in Claire's mind...
“Run!!!”
