Chapter 240 Hidden Mist Mountain
After leaving Saiang City for two days, Shimiya and Chihiro truly stepped into the mountains.
The dwarfs who guided the two of them only sent them to the foot of the mountain and returned, and he still had a job in Cyon.
The mountain range that the two stepped into was called the Hidden Mist Mountains, which is one of the many mountains in Lorelai and one of the most edges.
The mountainous area composed of these countless mountains is called the "mountain Eden".
The entire mountainous area runs across the center of Lorelai, with large plains on both sides. However, there are more forests in the north, and no one knows what else they have after passing through the forest.
According to legend, the center of this mountain area was once the place where gods lived, and there was another unimaginable world, but no one could test the authenticity of this legend.
Because the deeper you go to the mountain, the more difficult the road is, many people die on these roads. In addition, the higher you go, the lower the temperature. Therefore, the mountains in the central area have no grass growing from the middle of the mountain, only snow.
It is in such a snow-white area that there is one place that looks extremely special, that is, the highest peak in the Eden Mountains - Alicia Peak.
At the highest point of this mountain, there is a towering tree - the World Tree.
This tree has existed for many years. Even on the coast of Lorelais, you can see a little green in the distance when you look up.
Some people say that it is the pillar connecting heaven and earth, and the only channel for the gods to come to the mortal world.
Shi Miya didn't believe in legends, and to him it was just a few stories that could be heard.
However, when he raised his head and looked at the highest peak, the occasionally green light that appeared faintly from the white clouds still made him feel indescribable.
The Hidden Mist Mountains under his feet did not actually take the entire journey of the two. It was just that Sayon City and Beast King City were built just across the mountain, so they needed to cross the mountain, otherwise they would take a longer road to reach.
Although the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, and Chihiro is not used to walking on the mountain road, the speed of the two is very slow.
"How far is it to the nearest village?" Chihiro asked behind him.
The two have been away for three days and have not met a village yet. After all, Chihiro is a girl. She has no place to take care of her personal hygiene for three consecutive days, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.
"Hold on it, if you remember correctly, you will arrive before dark." Shi Ziye said without looking back.
If he was the only one, he would have arrived a long time ago. When he was training, he had been running around the mountains a lot.
But the weather in the mountains is really changing very quickly. It was just blue and white clouds. After a long time, the sun was blocked by huge clouds, and only a few rays of sunlight broke out from the gaps of the dark brown clouds.
And these clouds are very greedy and do not seem to plan to let go of these fish that miss the net.
When all the sunlight was completely lost, the fog began to slowly descend into the mountains.
Shi Miya immediately asked Chihiro to lie on his back and rush on his back. Even if he was carrying someone on his back, it would be faster than the slowest speed now.
He knew very well that the fog was still very light now and would not have much impact. However, once the fog became thicker, there would be no way to get there, and the risk of sleeping in the open was greatly increased.
Although Shimiya ran very fast, Chihiro couldn't feel the bumps, just like he was running on the plain with his back.
When the fog completely wrapped the mountain road, a village finally appeared in front of the two of them.
This is a not-so-large dwarf village, located on a vast open space in the mountains.
If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, Chihiro would hardly believe that someone would have built his residence in a place where crops are almost impossible to grow.
Looking around from the high ground near the entrance of the village, there are about hundreds of families in the village.
At this moment, dim lights were lit in front of the doors of the village from door to door.
"Which tribe is this dwarf?" Qianxun felt a little nervous. She asked with Shi Ziye's hand tightly.
Shi Miya didn't know either.
Although there are many tribes of the dwarves, in fact, the dwarves are no longer so detailed. Even if the surname can explain the problem, they rarely mention their surnames.
"Stop! Who are you?!" Just as the two of them stepped into the entrance of the village, two short people suddenly appeared and pointed their spears at their throats.
They are the dwarves responsible for standing guard tonight.
Chihiro was stunned.
The two dwarves have thick beards.
She remembered the bearded dwarves in Cyon.
"The dwarves in Cyon City shaved their beards in order to adapt to the life of living with other races. The dwarves here have no such concerns and have beards, so they will give people the impression of an old man," Shi Ziye explained without panic at all, "By the way, let me tell you a secret, female dwarves are born with beards! So if they don't say it, they will be misunderstood."
The two dwarves in front of him turned red when they heard the second half of the sentence.
"Hey, you two are not... they happen to be women, right?" Shi Miye saw their expressions change, and squatted down and looked at the two dwarves curiously.
