Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 625 Giant Palace and Stone Throne
"Buli's Frost Cave"-this is a huge and deep ice cave in the heart of Vatnajökull Glacier in Iceland.According to some documents, many years ago, this place was one of the few places in the world where frost giants lived.
The name "Buli" is rumored to belong to the leader of the Frost Giant tribe who led the tribe to migrate here.
Of course, the so-called "Frost Giants" are actually not much different from other giants, just because they live in different areas, there is only one more word in the title.
However, only a few people know that there was actually a group of wizards and giants living in peace and avoiding the world.
At this moment, Little Ensi was holding a flaming torch, slowly walking in this astonishingly spacious snow cave.Except for the firelight, there was only endless darkness in his field of vision. If he hadn't understood that he should walk along the rock wall on the side of the cave, he wouldn't even be able to figure out the direction now.
"It turns out... if the cave is too dark and too big, it will be no different from walking in a wilderness!" Ensi could not help but sigh as he suppressed his anxiety, "If you can see the stars and moon, then More like..."
As he thought, he walked forward cautiously.I could hear the sound of the wind coming from nowhere, whimpering like a wounded beast, which made my heart even more chilling.
Because there is almost no reference, no matter how long you have gone, or how far you have gone, the concepts of time and distance gradually became more and more blurred in Ensi's mind.And what became blurred together was the fear in his heart.
An unchanging environment always makes people feel paralyzed, and sometimes even makes people forget to be afraid.
"At least, so far I haven't encountered anything, and nothing happened." In the darkness, little Ensi muttered to himself softly, holding a torch, his voice echoing away from him in the snow cave. go with.
I don't know how long it took. When Ens felt his steps became heavier and heavier, he almost stopped moving, he suddenly stopped.
"What's in front...?"
The range that the torch can illuminate is quite limited. Since he can detect the obstacle in front of him, it means that he is very close to that obstacle.
Sure enough, after he took a few steps forward, a rock wall with a little blue intent suddenly appeared right in front of what was originally black.Looking at the almost vertical rock wall, the smooth traces are obvious. This is undoubtedly a high rock wall with traces of artificial stacking...
No, this may be an extremely large building!
Just after Little Ensi moved a certain distance laterally along the wall, he suddenly saw an astonishingly thick rock pillar.The surface of the rock pillar, which is close to ice blue, has only simple and rough vertical stripes as decoration. Even if he raises the torch no matter how high he can only see this part of the bottom, the size of this part alone is enough to make people heart-wrenching I dreamed about it.
"Where is this? Is it a house? Is this really the place where mother's ancestors lived?"
Ens continued to walk along the wall in a panic, passing by similar rock pillars after another, and the undulating frozen ground under his feet turned into a flat stone brick floor...Finally, before he knew it , And unexpected changes appeared on the wall.
On the large vertical wall made of rock and brick, some nicks have appeared since some time, and every stroke is messy and clumsy like a child's painting.It might be some mural, but because the format is so big, it doesn't make any sense to just look at it.
But when Little Ensi walked another distance, he finally found something wrong.
"Is the wall... slanted?"
In fact, when there is no reference before and after, it is impossible for him to detect the angle change of the wall in the middle.But now there are more and more scratches at the root of the wall.
And when he walked a certain distance forward, when a wide longitudinal gap between two people suddenly appeared in front, he realized that this section of "wall" might simply be a scary stone gate.
In fact, there has never been a shortage of explorers in this world since ancient times, and places like this have naturally been visited for a long time.After the magical world gradually became peaceful with the development of history, the official high-efficiency investigation team has not reduced the exploration and discovery of many ancient mysterious areas.
Of course, the ancient ruins of this tribe of frost giants have been explored many times by wizards from various countries.
However, the so-called magic originally contains opportunities in the wonder.From ancient times to the present, many legendary stories have proved this.
Just as Ensi probed the torch and gently stepped one of his feet into the darkness behind the gap, two icy blue flames in mid-air were suddenly awakened by some force.
Immediately after that, it would be like two or three seconds!More blue flames lighted up successively afterwards, arranging left and right in the high air, continuously extending deeper into the past.
In a blink of an eye, the space behind the crack suddenly brightened.
It wasn't until then that Little Ens discovered that this turned out to be a huge palace that only appeared in certain fairy tale books.In this palace, stone bricks larger than his own were paved on a firm ground according to a specific pattern, and a large number of vertical stone pillars that had been seen before stood neatly on both sides, and suddenly it was bright before. The blue flames that came up were actually big braziers hanging on those rock pillars.
And in the deepest part of this palace, one big, two small, three thrones created like a sword, axe and chisel are standing quietly, exuding a savage and cold ancient atmosphere.
No, if you look closely, you can find that there are not only three thrones in that row!
On both sides of the largest stone seat in the center, there are also two stone chairs with high backs, one on the left and the other on the ground.Just because they are so different from the other three stone blocks that are as big as houses, Little Ensi didn't notice it when he first saw it.
As he continued to walk deep into the hall, the five thrones with huge differences in size got closer and closer to him, and he was able to confirm that the two smaller stone chairs should be the size of a human sitting.
"What the hell is this place?"
After walking for a long time in this huge and inexplicably spacious palace, he couldn't help but mutter.And it was probably because the large space contrast made him inadvertently in awe, so that his muttering was strangely low, as if he was worried that his voice might attract something terrible.
To be honest, such a towering and huge seat has long surpassed Enns's cognitive scope.Even the giant that I saw in an old picture album at home when I was a child, is probably not comparable to the throne in front of me, let alone the creature that can sit on it.
After all, is there really a big guy in this world who can use these chairs?
After a long time, when the shock and awe in Ensi's heart slowly receded, his innate curiosity once again took over.While subconsciously guessing whether the two smaller stone chairs were related to his mother's ancestors, he took another stagnant step and dragged his rather tired little body to the one on the left hand side.
If you have to say it, it is because there is really nothing to see in this rough rock palace.
Although the huge volume difference can give people a shock at the first time, after a long time you will find that this palace has neither exquisite decorations nor many specific traces left behind.Apart from grand and monotonous, there is basically no other vocabulary to describe.
It is worth seeing, in fact, those two small stone blocks with relatively fine carvings.
If you get closer, you can see that the stone chair on the left is engraved with a lot of strange symbols. From the stone seat under the chair to the back of the chair, the surface is densely arranged and covered with symbols. .
Just the boring symbols, little Ens naturally couldn't understand, and he quickly lost interest in this stone chair.But he didn't know that this stone chair had a very rich academic discussion in the magic world, because it was all different ancient Runes.
After a detailed chronological discussion by the ancient magic writers at that time, they also jointly published a paper on the origin of ancient runes.Of course, that paper was eventually forgotten by the world because of insufficient evidence.
Little Ens paid no attention to the stone seat that had been seen too much and was prone to intensive phobia, and after bypassing the giant throne in the middle, he came to another stone seat.
Compared with the stone seat just now, this one will obviously attract children's attention.
The base of this stone chair is impressively two wolves of different shapes.They leaned on each other, crawling under the stone bench, lying on one side with their heads on the ground, the other raised their heads to the sky, and their backs carried the stone seat on top.
On the handrails on both sides of the stone seat, there are carved flying horses with wings, majestic palaces, and various branches of lightning.
As for the tall chair back with the largest surface area, it was surprisingly simple, with only two flying birds.
Little Ensi looked around at these delicate and vivid patterns and reliefs, watching them very carefully, and while looking at them, he wondered whether there are really these strange and fascinating creatures in this world.
Until he walked around the stone seat and came to its back, he found that there was a strange eye engraved on the back of the chair, which looked a little daunting.
However, when he wanted to go back to the front of the stone seat, that eye suddenly flashed.
