Chapter 185 The natural wonder is actually... (Subscribe!)
This exploration was obviously much easier than the first time.
Perhaps they wanted to show off in front of the Earl, or perhaps they were familiar with the route after their last experience, but at least in the first half of the journey, everyone's progress was extremely smooth.
Even though a bear would pop out and howl from time to time, it was dealt with by the agents of the Idar Intelligence Agency in a very short time.
only……
As the group continued to move deeper into the Almis Mountains, a look of doubt gradually appeared between Bruno's brows.
Compared to ordinary people, mages are much more sensitive to changes in the external world. It is precisely because of this that mages can clearly feel the free magical elements contained in the air around them.
So, as Bruno gradually went deeper into the Almis Mountains, he gradually felt that the magic power around him, as if attracted by some force, was slowly gathering towards a place deep in the Almis Mountains.
This was a very weak and inconspicuous process. If Bruno had not possessed magical powers far beyond those of ordinary people, it would have been impossible to detect! "The basin you mentioned, and the Devil's Tower... should be in the northwest, right?"
Bruno stopped and asked suddenly.
“That’s right!”
Claire nodded.
After receiving a positive answer, Bruno's guess was finally confirmed.
This is because most of the magical elements in this mountain range are flowing slowly towards the northwest. Perhaps the speed of movement is extremely slow, but... Bruno is 100% sure that this is indeed what is happening.
The eastern border of the empire where Idar Territory is located is an area with relatively thin magic power, so the directional flow of magic power undoubtedly attracted Bruno's attention.
Maybe... this is some kind of bonus brought by the natural wonder, which is why the magic element in Idal Territory is relatively thin? Thinking of this, Bruno couldn't help but speed up his pace. He couldn't wait to see the Devil's Tower standing in the basin with his own eyes! The magic flowing to the northwest and the giant stone pillar similar to the Devil's Tower undoubtedly confirmed Bruno's earlier point of view - the Devil's Tower is the next natural wonder in Idal Territory! "How far is it to the Devil's Tower?" Bruno asked.
Claire took out the map from his pocket and glanced at it, then looked around and said, "We're almost there! We're already halfway up the mountain. The altitude of that basin is relatively high, so it will probably take another day to get there."
The first expedition took nearly half a month, mainly because the Idar people had never set foot in the high altitude areas deep in the Almis Mountains.
Coupled with the tasks assigned by Bruno to draw maps and search for possible natural resources, this resulted in an exceptionally slow progress.
This time, not only is the number of expedition members reduced, but each member is a carefully selected group of experts. In addition, with the help of Claire and others who are familiar with the route, they will naturally be able to move much faster.
So, at noon the next day, Bruno, under the leadership of Clare, finally arrived at the canyon where dozens of remains of the Crusaders were buried.
Due to their mission, the members of the previous expedition did not conduct a large-scale search for these remains, so they remained in their original locations.
Gray skeletons lay across the narrow road. Although they were mostly covered by dust, they still gave people a creepy feeling.
The group carefully avoided the dry bones scattered on the ground and continued to move towards the canyon exit that was already in sight.
Walking in the canyon, the members of the expedition team couldn't help but slow down their pace, because just half a month ago, their comrades lost their lives forever in the basin at the end of the canyon.
In fact, if they had been able to evacuate immediately, so many people would not have died.
But in the minds of the Idar people, completing the tasks assigned by the Earl is always the first priority, so... after escaping the first wave of attacks by the griffins, those Idar elite soldiers who were not afraid of life and death turned back again! They have not yet drawn a complete basin topographic map for the Earl!
This also means that their mission has not been successfully completed! Bruno heard all this afterwards, so his steps at this time were naturally very heavy.
Although Bruno is a time traveler, he has adapted to his current role during his time in Idar. As the Count of Idar, he has been moved countless times by the simplest and most honest actions of the Idar people.
Perhaps it is because the civilians of this world have suffered too much injustice and hardship in areas other than Idar County, so that almost everyone has a heartfelt gratitude towards Idar County and Count Idar.
In the Territory of Idar, they don't have to worry about tomorrow's food, nor do they have to be afraid for their children's future. As long as they are willing to work hard, Count Idar will not treat them unfairly!
Especially the soldiers of Idar Territory! They have a very simple idea that Earl Idar has given them a good life and a brand new future, so they must complete the tasks assigned by the Earl.
Even if it means sacrificing my life, I will do it at all costs!
because……
Great undertakings always need to be built with blood! They are willing to use their efforts today in exchange for a better and more stable Idar Territory, so that their children can receive the best care in Idar Territory!
At least, that was the common thought among most of the Idar soldiers.
"Let's go!"
This time, despite the dissuasion of Claire and others, Bruno personally walked at the front of the team!
Because here, only he, who possesses the strength of a magic master, has the power to confront the griffin head-on!
And since he had come here in person, Bruno would not let any Idar life be left alone in the mountains.
As Bruno's footsteps gradually moved towards the end of the canyon, he could already faintly hear the cries coming from the sky.
That must be a griffin...Bruno thought.
If an adult griffin cannot be tamed, then it must be hunted!
When Bruno finally walked out of the canyon and came to the basin in front of him, a giant hexagonal stone pillar about several hundred meters high appeared in front of Bruno!
It stands quietly in the open basin before your eyes, like a pillar supporting the sky, with majestic momentum. It can be called a miracle created by nature!
The midday sun shines on the top of this giant stone pillar, and under the influence of the ochre-yellow rock on the surface of the pillar, it radiates a dreamy color.
Sure enough... the stone pillar in front of me looks almost the same as the Devil's Tower on Earth! However,
At this moment,
The two pop-up windows that suddenly appeared in Bruno's field of vision made him completely stunned for a moment...
