Chapter 835 The Secret Realm and the Cloud Mountain Falling From the Sky

Helfas searched for it for a long time, flying around and around in the sky, but never saw the shadow of the so-called building on the clouds.

He saw a settlement on the ground and was going to ask the people in these settlements. Even if these bird-man settlements had no written heritage, those who had lived here for many years might have some information and had even seen the so-called clouds with their own eyes. Go to the building.

Even though he has great power, sometimes power is not omnipotent.

However, there is another reason why Helfas cares so much about the buildings on the clouds. The thought of strange clouds and objects in the sky that can move naturally makes Helfas think of something.

Helfas stood in the sky and looked at the vast land of clouds. He once again thought of the scenes he had seen in the photo machine of the Tower of Babel, the trains running above the sea of ​​clouds in the sky, and the thousands of people in the tubes. Moving airships, magic carpets, flying props.

"Ladder to the Sky."

Of course, he would not think that the thing floating on the clouds was a floating city. If he had been there before, he might have thought that the city floating in the sky appeared on the Gate of the Earth, but after experiencing the Tower of Babel and his party, he It was found that the height of the Kingdom of Gods and the Floating City was obviously not the sea of ​​clouds. It could be said that they were in the world of stars. The height of the sky was far beyond the imagination of mortals.

Of course, looking for the Ladder to the Sky is not just to see that strange thing.

The world of dragon people has mountains that wrap around the world, and the world of bird people is no exception.

Helfas had found the boundary of the birdman world many years ago. It was also blocked by the mountain that entangled the world. And across the mountain that entangled the world, Helfas probably felt that there was a dragonman on the other side. world.

And this mountain peak was the mountain he saw at the northernmost part of the dragon world when he passed through the mountains.

He wanted to climb over this mountain before, but in the end he found that he couldn't fly over it with his own strength. But after seeing the ladder in the sky, he suddenly had another idea.

"If we could find the Sky Ladder, would we be able to open this barrier and find the true connection between the worlds of birds and dragons?"

Helfas fell towards the earth. The buildings in the settlement were houses made of stones. The tops of the houses were covered or supported with the skin of a giant lizard, which is a common animal in the Cloud Kingdom. , which is also the main prey of the birdman settlement here.

"That's the one."

The dark-skinned child in the settlement pointed to someone sitting in the wilderness and said to Helfas. The child was wearing animal skins, and what he said was not the language of the Kingdom of Rain. However, the problem of communication was very important to Helfas. Saying it was never a problem.

Helfas walked over and saw a man dragging a small canoe forward. The canoe obviously slowed him down, but he still refused to give up.

"Canoe?"

To be honest, he couldn't imagine what use a boat could be in such a desolate place.

Occasionally there will be small oases in this wilderness, but the water sources that most settlements rely on for survival do not require boats. However, these thoughts only appeared in his mind for a while, and he still acted in the direction of Walk towards that person.

The male birdman noticed someone approaching, and he immediately stopped and looked at the person.

He noticed that this guy, who was equally strange as him, was wearing a thin dark red shirt with golden lines on it, and black trousers on the lower body. The overall dress was very close-fitting.

He is very young, with short black hair and a pair of black eyes, which is full of a strong sense of foreignness to him.

But the main thing that made him feel strange was that the other party wrapped his feet with a strange thing. Wouldn't this feel uncomfortable?

The other person: "I heard that you have some strange experiences, can you tell me about them?"

He glanced at the other person and said, "I'm not free."

The other person: "If you tell me about your past experiences and what you are doing, such as what you want this canoe to do, maybe I can help you send the canoe to where you want it."

He immediately became hesitant. It would be good if someone could help him drag the canoe. Moreover, he happened to be tired and really wanted to stop and talk to someone.

He: "If you don't think it's ridiculous, I can tell you."

The other person: "This world is inherently bizarre, and anything can happen."

The two of them sat down under a stone, and he took out the breadfruit, broke it open, and took a few bites.

"I came from the Kingdom of Rain. I originally came here to buy the leather belts of earth lizards and sell them back. My family has been traveling on this route for generations to do business of buying and selling."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he told his origin.

He: "But six years ago, I encountered a magical thing on the way here."

Black-haired man: "What magical thing?"

He said: "When I was resting at night, I was in a wilderness, surrounded by extremely barren land, with no water sources and no trees."

"But suddenly clouds kept pouring out of the sky, layer after layer, filling the sky."

"I just couldn't sleep at that time, and I was even more overwhelmed when I saw this shocking scene."

As he spoke, his voice became excited.

"Finally, those clouds fell from the sky."

"Then the whole world changed."

Black-haired man: "The world has changed?"

He: "Yes, didn't I just say that I was in the wilderness, but in the blink of an eye everything around me disappeared."

"I seemed to have left this world and entered a mysterious land of incredible beauty."

"The barren land around me turned into a lake with no visible edge, and behind me was the endless water jungle that turned into the high walls of the secret land, and the endless clouds fell from the sky and turned into mountains."

"The clouds and mountains connected to the sky and pressed down on the blue lake."

"It was an incredible scene. I believe that anyone who has seen that picture will never forget it."

The black-haired man: "Could it be Illusion, just like the mirages that people often see in the distance during their journey? "

He: "Impossible, it is definitely not an illusion, but real."

Then he gave his reasons very seriously: "Because when I fell into that magical secret, my tent and my goods were also swept into the water. I kept struggling in the water and almost drowned in it."

"If it is the mirage you mentioned, can it do such a thing?"

But at this time, Helfas did not completely believe the other party's words. It was not that he thought the other party was lying. It was too easy for him to distinguish the lies of a mortal.

But even if what the other party said was true, it was only true in his eyes, and did not represent the truth.

He knew that some extremely clever illusions could not only deceive people's eyes, but also deceive people's five senses. It could make people's taste buds taste delicious food, make people's ears hear sounds, and make people's skin touch feedback the feeling of really touching the things in the illusion.

If the false things reach this level, can mortals still distinguish between true and false?

But Helfas did not interrupt, and continued to listen to what the other party said.

"Just when I was struggling and about to give up, I saw a ship sailing out of the high wall of the secret realm formed by the jungle."

"My eyes were immediately attracted by the ship, and I looked at it with all my strength. I found that there were some giant trees growing obliquely and crosswise in the group of swamp trees that turned into walls. Their branches were intertwined with each other to form a door and a secret passage."

"And the ship slowly passed through the passage and the door of the secret realm and entered this mysterious realm."

"I guess you can't imagine how big and gorgeous it was. It was like a palace moving on the water."

"At that time, I was about to drown. I shouted helplessly at the ship, wanting to ask the people on the ship to save me."

"And at this moment."

His originally excited expression and excited eyes became quiet for some reason at this moment.

His eyes became a little absent-minded, as if he had seen something beyond the ultimate beauty in the world, so beautiful that he forgot to be excited, so beautiful that he didn't know how to describe it.

His words became a little stumbling, and his hands and feet followed along with gestures, as if he wanted to describe what he saw to the listener, but the more he spoke, the more he felt that his description seemed pale, at least it did not describe his personal feelings.

"There was a window opened on the top floor of the palace on that gorgeous ship. Do you know what it felt like to me?"

"It felt like a hole opened in the cloudy sky, and then light slanted down and fell on me."

"I saw the kingdom of God in death, and even death was no longer scary."

"In front of the window of the palace, there was a person looking at me helplessly in the water with pity. That person was so beautiful that she seemed to be shining. Her temperament was as elegant as the clouds in the sky, and the clothes she wore seemed to be woven from the sunset."

"I saw her smiling at me and waving at me."

"Then everything around disappeared, the clouds returned to the sky, and I was saved."

However, the expression on his face did not show any joy for being saved, but rather the immense loss because of the brief brush with that beautiful figure.

"What a beautiful person!"

"I think I must have entered the kingdom of God and saw the maid of the gods."

"She must have saved me from drowning in the water and brought me back to the world."

He stopped talking, as if his body had left the beautiful and magical secret realm, but his soul had stayed there.

After listening to his story, the black-haired man seemed to understand why he brought the wooden boat.

"So you have been wandering here to reenter the secret realm, and you prepared this wooden boat to catch up with the boat in the water. You want to get her."

But he seemed to be extremely terrified by the other party's words and began to refute.

"No, how dare I think so, I just want to see her again."

"If possible, I want to say thank you to the person who saved me."

"Later."

"Occasionally, I heard rumors that clouds fell from the sky and immediately rushed in that direction. Unfortunately, I have never entered the secret realm since then, and I have never seen that figure again."

The story is over.

The reason for carrying a canoe in the wilderness without water was also known.

The two of them sat quietly, and the scene became somewhat silent.

Helfas could not fully understand the other person's feelings. He searched for six years in this land just to say thank you to a person he had only met once. It was like being possessed, but he had no reason to blame or laugh at it.

Because he had seen many people in this era who were extremely persistent in one thing, such as those who traveled thousands of miles and risked their lives to leave their hometown just to see the Kingdom of Bread and Trees in the distance and died on the road, such as those who spent their entire fortunes and risked their lives to eat a certain kind of food, and there were kings who went against the grain and lost their country for a painting, and craftsmen who went crazy and died in madness in order to learn a certain skill.

People in this era did not have developed information, they had very few things, and they had not met many people.

Many of them had never left their hometowns in their lives, had never eaten any decent food, even the so-called kings.

They did not have many choices in their lives, and it was difficult for them to see too beautiful existence.

So once they saw those beautiful things and heard stories that made them yearn too much, it was easy for them to give their all for them, and the person in front of them was the same.

It was just that he saw.

It was a very beautiful person.

Their behavior may seem absurd to some people, but this is what they have poured all their emotions into, but what they are pursuing seems unworthy in the eyes of the world.

And Helfas suddenly thought of something. Everything he has been working hard for and sticking to, isn't it insignificant and unnecessary in the mouth of Anissa?

Helfas sighed and said to the man dragging the canoe.

"There are always some things in life that don't belong to you, and there are always some regrets that cannot be made up."

"In any case, six years is too long for an ordinary person. Maybe everything in the secret realm has not changed, but your world has long been different."

"It's time for you to return to your world and get out of that beautiful secret realm."

The man dragging the canoe did not answer, but asked back: "What are you doing here? You shouldn't belong here either!"

Helfas: "I heard that there is a building floating on the clouds here, so I want to come and see it."

He said: "Aren't you also Are you chasing after something illusory?"

Helfas: "I'm different."

He was a little dissatisfied: "What's the difference?"

Helfas: "I have a lot of illusory time, which is just right for chasing these illusory things, and everything around me has long been changed, and it's hard to lose anything."

"And you still have family and friends, and you have the best years."

He stared blankly at the black-haired man, who looked much younger than his age, but he didn't know that when he spoke, he seemed to be completely beyond the age of this body, as if there was another person living under that young skin.

The black-haired man stood up and said to him.

"You won't find it if you look aimlessly like this. Even if the entrance to the secret realm you mentioned appears somewhere again, it will have disappeared by the time you rush over."

"If you want to enter the secret realm, you must find the pattern of the entrance, and then arrive at that location in advance when the entrance appears next time. However, with your speed, ability and resources, it is difficult to do such a thing."

"But this is not a problem for me."

"Thank you for the information you gave me. I will go to find the secret realm you mentioned. Maybe it has some connection with what I am looking for."

The black-haired man turned around and said the last sentence.

"If I find it."

"I will take you and your wooden boat there to fulfill my promise to you before."

After saying that, he left like that.

After the figure disappeared, he suddenly remembered that the other party did not help him to tow the wooden boat.

But he raised his hands and leaned against the stone quietly. He didn't seem to be too disappointed. Perhaps deep in his heart, he didn't have much hope for the destination of this trip.

On the contrary, he felt much better after telling his story.

"What kind of person is this?"

"So strange!"

——

According to the other party's experience and the other party's memory seen through mind reading, Helfas also began to collect the location of the so-called secret realm from the surrounding settlements and rumors, looking for some kind of pattern.

He took out a map of the Kingdom of Clouds.

Then he began to mark the location and time on the map, some of which can be traced back hundreds of years ago.

"It can almost be determined that it appears once a year, usually in the period of time called the rainy season in the Kingdom of Rain. Those who have not appeared may not have been observed by humans."

"The location of appearance is indeed regular. Although it looks like a large range, it is always within one area, which makes it much easier to find."

Helfas drew a circle on the land, and it can be basically found that these abnormal phenomena are within this range, but the location of each appearance is different.

"But it seems that everyone sees different things. Why is that?"

"Some people see a lake, some see an island, some see a swamp forest, some say they see strange figures, and some say they see some kind of building?"

"Is there really a so-called huge secret realm, where the entrance is different every time, so the scene you see when you enter is also different?"

But thinking like this will not lead to any results. You can only know what it is like if you actually go and see it.

Through analysis.

Helfas did find the pattern and roughly calculated the next possible location of the other party.

"The rainy season should only last for one month!"
