Eight hundred and fifty seventh chapter Taniko
Leo's question received no answer, and the universal recorder remained as it was. On the contrary, Sylvia looked at Leo's one-man show with a weird look and felt like laughing.
"Go and check on Tessa Mocha. If possible, we can leave now. There is no need to stay here any longer." Leo put away the master brain proto-nucleus in his hand and said to Sylvia.
"Just leave?" Sylvia frowned and asked.
"Yeah!" Leo nodded, turned to look in the direction of the palace, and said, "In order to avoid her recurrence, it's better for us to leave first."
Sylvia nodded after hearing this and said nothing more. She got up and went to Tessa Moka's room to check the situation. Leo also quickly sorted out the items. Fortunately, most of the needed supplies had been prepared these days.
Well, except for a few food and medicines that have been placed in the storage space, other things only need to be tidied up.
Sylvia quickly walked out of Tessa Mocha's room and said, "She has no signs of waking up yet, but there is nothing wrong with her body. I should be able to take her with me."
Leo nodded when he heard this, then took an animal skin sleeping bag commonly used by the Dyliad people, and put Tessa Moka into it together with Sylvia, then tied it with a strap, and Leo carried it on his back.
.
Sylvia hired a few more servants from the palace to move the various supplies she had prepared to the carriage and horse station outside the city. Then she asked the owner of the station to set up the windshield and tie up the ice pack beast she had bought earlier.
With various items, Tessa Mocha was fixed on the back of the beast of burden, and the three of them rode the two beasts of burden into the wind and snow outside the city, heading west.
Just when Leo and Sylvia left, their whereabouts were reported to Leah Venestan by the Queen's spies. Although Leo and the others left, she felt very unhappy, because this kind of behavior was clearly in
It hinted that she didn't trust her, but she had no intention of pursuing anything. Now she had more important things to do. Even if she couldn't leave the palace yet, she still needed to prepare in advance.
So, several orders were sent out from the palace. A few days later, several armies were dispatched to the Belem Glacier Lake. Salvage experts from the east and west coasts also gathered in Delisa, accepted the Queen's interview, and joined in the salvage.
During the discussion on the remains of prehistoric civilization under the Belem Glacier Lake.
On the other side, Leo and the others moved smoothly towards Taniko, which was located near the ice bridge. Except for some obstacles caused by the wind and snow, such as taking the wrong road, they did not encounter any obstacles on the road.
On the third day after they left Delisa, Tessa Moka woke up from her deep sleep, and her skin changed from dark green to normal color.
After waking up, Tessa Moka did not experience any changes such as a rapid increase in strength or a complete transformation of her body. She felt no different from before. However, Leo used his spiritual vision to see some very obvious changes in the energy fluctuations on her body.
The wavelength becomes wider and the frequency becomes slower, making it feel like some kind of psychic creature that has fallen into hibernation.
Moreover, Tessa Moka's perception has become extremely sharp, even surpassing Leo's mental network. On the way forward, there are often things that Leo's mental network has not yet sensed, but Tessa Moka can immediately detect them.
Perception, but her powerful perception ability is not without its flaws. For example, she can only perceive living things, but it is completely ineffective against dead objects.
On the fifth day of its formation, a new round of extremely cold ice storm blew across the northern land. In this harsh environment, even the snow beasts that have been active near the northern ice fields all year round cannot withstand such conditions for a long time.
of extremely cold weather.
For this reason, Leo and the others had to find a small village to stay for two days before leaving after the ice storm was over.
In this way, they walked slowly and stop-and-go in waves of extremely cold ice storms. After walking for nearly two months, they arrived at the tower of this small town at the top of the northeast of Dalyat.
Nico.
Taniko is not a Daliat language, but an ancient Beitsha language. This language is one of the ancient languages of the northern tribes of Velen Continent and is also the language spoken by the Renault people.
The first Renault people to cross the ice bridge built a settlement in a circular valley at the south end of the ice bridge and named it after Taniko. Taniko means the place given by the gods in ancient Beitsha language.
.
After that, the Renault people crossed the ice bridge several times and picked up the tribe members from the north of Velen continent on the other side of the ice bridge, eventually forming the Renault tribe of Dalyat.
To this day, historians from all over the world are still wondering why the Renault people took the risk of crossing the ice bridge and settling on the Minsk continent, the northern ice sheet permafrost.
Some people suspect that it is because of the climate, because according to scholars' research, there was an extremely cold climate in the North for a period of time. At that time, many northern tribes migrated south. Such things are also recorded in some ancient French documents.
Someone soon refuted this view. You must know that the environment of Dalyat is even worse than that of the northern land of Velen Continent.
After all, there is a Dakart Mountain Range between the northern land of Velen Continent and the Endless Icefield. This mountain range blocks most of the cold winds in the Endless Icefield. Only a part of the cold wind still blows over the mountains and sweeps across the north, so Velen Continent
The climate in the Northland is much better than that in Dalyat, and there is no extreme weather such as extremely cold ice storms. Therefore, due to climate reasons, the idea that the Renault people moved to Dalyat is completely untenable.
In addition to climate reasons, some people also said that it may be due to war, because the climate at that time caused a great famine in the north. In order to survive, while some tribes chose to move south, some tribes attacked other tribes and robbed other tribes.
The entire Northland was in a state of war.
But this view was soon refuted. Adding the number of people who moved the Renault people to Daliat, plus the number of casualties during the migration, we finally got the number of people who lived in the Renault before they moved, and this number was the same in the entire North
Even the current Northland can be regarded as one of the largest tribes in the world. If such a powerful tribe does not rob others, it is already very good. How can anyone provoke them?
As for food, it is not a problem, because the Renault people were in the stage of adapting to the environment in the two years after they moved to Dialiat. The main food in the tribe was the reserve food brought from Velen Continent. This means that at that time
When the Renault people decided to migrate, they had plenty of food, enough to easily survive the famine.
It is precisely because the reasons for the migration of the Renault people are so mysterious that it has aroused the curiosity of many scholars. Taniko, the first settlement established by the Renault people after arriving on the mainland of Minsk, became their best place to study the mystery of the migration of the Renault people.
It is a perfect location because there are many relics left by the Renault people here and there are many places worthy of study.
The early Renault people did not practice water burial and cremation like the people of the northern tribes of Velen Continent. Their burial was rock burial, which was to dig caves on the rocks of the mountains and put the corpses and burial objects into the caves. These corpses were absolutely
Most of them will be eaten by scavenging raptors, and the caves will also be transformed into nests by raptors. Therefore, it is rare to see the tombs of Renault people in the northern part of Velen continent.
But Taniko is different. It is located near the endless ice fields in the extremely cold north. Almost no raptors live here, so the caves and tombs they dug on the rocks can be well preserved. Coupled with the cold and dry climate, the
Corpses rarely decay, which makes the rock walls around Taniko crater densely covered with cave tombs, some of which are even used by a single family.
Many people suspect that the Renault people settled in Taniko for nearly a hundred years before deciding to move to other parts of Dialiat. The main reason was because there was no way to open new tombs here.
Taniko Crater was not named by the Reno people. It was named by scholars who later studied the Reno tribal civilization here. In the language of the Reno people, Taniko Crater has only one name, which is Mother's Arms.
.
For the Reno people, the arms-shaped Taniko crater is the mother's arms. In this arms, their tribe can continue, they can survive the extremely cold ice storm, and this arms also provides them with
Provide food needed for survival.
In the Taniko crater, a kind of food that is very important for the preparation of the Dialiat grows. This kind of food is called pink potato. It is an extremely cold-resistant staple food plant. It can also grow near the ice sheet, and the yield is also very high.
It is large and has an extremely fast growth cycle. It usually completes growth within forty days after planting.
This kind of sweet potato cannot be eaten raw. Eating it raw will cause severe diarrhea. For a long time, this kind of sweet potato was regarded as poison.
But later, I don’t know who discovered that drying these sweet potatoes, grinding them into powder, and then kneading them into dough and baking them can remove the toxins in the plant that cause diarrhea, and it can also add a little sweetness. Therefore,
Pink potatoes have become the staple food of all the people who live in Dalyat. This kind of pink potato also has the scientific name of Taniko pink potato, and the bread made from this kind of pink potato is called Tania bread.
When Leo and his party arrived at Taniko, they immediately attracted the attention of many Dialyts living here, because no one had ever come here during the winter ice storm in the past, especially these three people.
They all have an extraordinary temperament.
"Hello! I am the mayor of the small town of Tanico." When Leo and the others sent their beasts of burden to the town station and asked the people of the town to unload the luggage on the beasts of burden, the mayor of the town said
Then he came over with a few subordinates, greeted Leo and the others, and said, "I wonder why the three Taoists are here..."
Before the mayor of the town could finish asking, Sylvia took out the pass that Leah Winenstein had issued for them to go to Belen Glacier Lake, handed it to the mayor of the town, and said: "The main reason why we are here is
It’s about studying ice bridges.”
"Research on ice bridges?" The mayor of the town was stunned, because in the past, the people he met either came to study the endless ice fields in the north, or they came to study the Reno people. This was the first time he heard about studying ice bridges.
arrive.
After taking the pass and seeing the seals of the Queen and the Prime Minister, the mayor of the town did not continue to look down. He quickly folded the pass again, saluted the three of them, and said: "Since these are specially sent by Her Majesty the Queen,
Scholars, our town of Tanico will naturally try our best to assist the three of them in their research work. I will send someone to arrange the residence of the three of them now. Is there anything else the other three need assistance with?"
Sylvia said with a natural look: "Not yet, we will let you know when needed."
Seeing this, the mayor of the town did not ask any more questions. He turned around and ordered a subordinate to accompany Leo and the others to wait for instructions, and then turned and left.
Not long after the town mayor left, someone informed them that a place for them to live had been arranged, and he brought a few people to help Leo and the others carry their luggage.
The group of people passed directly through the main road of the town covered with snow and arrived at a small villa surrounded by woods in the northeast corner.
It is not difficult to tell from the shape of the villa that it was probably built by a nobleman. It has been a few years and many parts of the exterior look very old, but because it is often cleaned, it is still clean.
The person carrying the luggage put down the luggage and turned around and left. However, the staff member of the town government who was arranged by the mayor stayed and temporarily lived in the hut at the entrance of the villa, and told Leo and the others that if anything happened, they could inform him directly.
Go and handle it.
After the staff member left, Tessa Moka suddenly said: "There is something wrong with this town. We sent people to monitor us when we first arrived. I'm afraid..."
"We won't stay here for too long. We'll leave after figuring out the situation on the ice bridge. It doesn't matter what happens." Sylvia said calmly.
Leo walked to the fireplace, piled the firewood next to the fireplace, and used the Witcher's seal to light the firewood directly. Then he raised his hand and took down a mural hanging on the fireplace, revealing the wall behind the mural.
I saw another badge with seven rings nested together on the wall, each ring having a different symbol.
"Holy Emblem of Tranquility!" Sylvia said in surprise immediately after seeing this pattern on the wall.
"The Holy Emblem of Tranquility?" Tessa Moka was stunned and confirmed: "Is it the Holy Emblem of Tranquility that makes all things peaceful?"
"Yeah!" Sylvia nodded seriously.
In Leo's mind at this moment, he quickly searched for information about the Holy Emblem of Tranquility and the Tranquility of All Things.
In the world of Velen, Death God Kain is the only true god recognized by the Orthodox Church as being in charge of death. However, Death God Kain is not the only god involved in death. In fact, there was another god who appeared before Death God Kain, and he also
Closely associated with death, this deity is the tranquility of all things.
The Holy Emblem of Tranquility in All Things is called the Holy Emblem of Tranquility. It consists of seven rings. There is a holy symbol in each ring, which represents different stages of life, namely birth, infant, child, teenager, youth, adulthood, and old age.
