Chapter 515: Climbing to the Peak of God
The mountain peaks rise high into the sky, like a giant standing on the island.
Alka and the others were at the foot of the mountain. Even though they hadn't gotten close yet, they could see it clearly.
A gust of wind blew by, and Alka could feel that this wind was not formed naturally, but was caused by some human-made force.
The clouds surrounding the mountainside and above were blown away by the strong wind, and the entire sky was revealed. The sun shone directly down, and the entire picture of the mountain was displayed in front of everyone.
The peak of this 6,700-meter-high mountain is the highest point on the entire island, like the king of the sky.
Alka blinked gently and could clearly see that there was a red light spot flashing on the top of the mountain, where there was obviously a crown-level treasure.
It just stands there straight, and I can't see clearly what it is, but I can basically be sure that it belongs to someone.
Because the position where this thing stands is so special.
Without the cover of clouds, the mountain peaks are steep and rugged, and you can see that about two-thirds of the mountain peaks are covered with snow. Under the sunlight, from a distance, it shines with a magnificent light, which makes people feel awe.
“This mountain looks a bit like a volcano.”
Lucilia couldn't help but say as she looked at Shanfeng's appearance.
The mountain is surrounded by the sea, and the water is as blue and clear as emerald. It is obviously different from other places. Even near the sea surface, you can clearly see the fish swimming below. It is too clear.
This makes this place look out of place with other places.
There must be some force influencing this as well.
Alka and his crew couldn't help but slow down the speed of the boat. They just kept looking up at the mountain and let the boat slowly approach.
As we got closer to the top of the mountain, it became harder and harder to see, because it was already high in the sky and was extremely dazzling under the illumination and reflection of the sunlight.
But the closer they got to the bottom, the clearer they could see.
The mountain can be seen from afar, and now as it gets closer, I can appreciate how huge this mountain and the island that supports it are.
The mountains seem to be within reach, yet I know clearly that the distance between them is still out of reach.
Now they could see an even more magnificent view down the mountainside.
The huge building complex spreads down from the mountainside, forming a fairyland painting at twilight.
Mainly the style of these buildings.
Xiadaiti and others only thought it was beautiful, but they had never seen buildings of this style before. Only Alka felt inexplicably familiar with this architectural style.
These buildings are full of oriental mystery and prosperity. The long roofs are stacked like mountains, and the colorful glazed tiles sparkle with colorful light in the sun.
Although it can be seen from many places that it is obviously different from the ancient buildings in my hometown, I can still feel that unique charm.
At least they had similarities, which brought back Alka's memories.
"It's so beautiful." Xia Daiti couldn't help but say.
The breeze that had blown away the mist came back again, this time blowing towards them.
The breeze seems to be visible, usually with a hint of green.
After the breeze blew on everyone, they immediately felt refreshed.
Even the big tree that was the body of the Sound of Dawn on the boat couldn't help but sway, showing his excitement as the music sounded. He really liked this breeze that carried life.
Julia, the seed of life, immediately discovered something and couldn't help but smile.
A harp appeared in her hand, and as she played, the breezes began to be controlled by her and swirled around everyone for a while before leaving.
"These are breeze spirits, which can be considered as good helpers of the Seed of Life. Only where the Seed of Life's seed pod is located will there be this breeze spirit, which will blow at a fixed time every day.
It can bring health to life and add new life to the surrounding plants.”
The so-called life pod is equivalent to the cathedral of the Seed of Life Church.
Such buildings only exist in more important places.
If you count seriously, the church on the Twin Islands can be considered to be the size of a cathedral.
If the building of the Seed of Life on this island is the life pod, then the building of the Virgin Mary is most likely the cathedral.
The Church of the Holy Machine is the Mechanical Temple.
Although the names are different, they generally show that this area is relatively important to each church.
However, the place they were heading towards seemed a little bit wrong, because it was actually a cliff instead of a port. Judging from the ships coming and going around, they could see that the port should be on the other side.
On their side, there were a lot of trees and vegetation, as well as scattered small houses and buildings on the hillside that spread to the front.
They should be on the back of the island, so a large amount of vegetation has been well preserved, and the breath of life is overwhelming.
The surging waves hit the rocks of the mountain, making a roaring sound. This sound is like a musical tune, as if nature is paying tribute to this peak.
Julia seemed inspired and began to play the harp.
Looking at the trees on the back of the mountain, the breath of life is extremely strong.
Judging from the breeze that just blew over, if things go as expected, the life pod, or the seed of life, should be located inside.
Although Alka had never seen the Seed of Life's cathedral, it was said to be something similar to a giant plant. So if it was in the woods, it would be almost invisible from a distance.
The sound of dawn began to circle the island and move forward.
They are now basically driving close to the island and can clearly see the buildings on the island.
As they passed the woods behind them, a large number of buildings began to appear. On the opposite side, as far as they could see, the obstructing hillsides and vegetation also became slightly lower. Without the obstruction, they could clearly see the architectural style here.
The architectural style was exactly the same as those they had seen from afar on the hillside before. Apparently, the people here used this architectural style for the sake of style unification.
You can also see many large, giant buildings that look like wonders, and the style is also consistent.
Just by looking at these strange buildings, you can feel the ancient atmosphere coming from them.
Every pillar and every stone slab of the building seems to carry the ancient years.
"That should be the church of the Holy Machine Church, right?" Porro said, pointing in a direction.
Although the appearance of this church is intentionally coordinated with the surrounding style, the peculiar metal components and the inevitable gear logo still make it stand out in such a place.
Even though this building has tried its best to blend into the style here, it still seems a bit out of place.
"Sometimes I have to complain that the aesthetic style of your church is a bit out of place." Looking at this out-of-place building, Jason couldn't help but turned to Simon and said.
Because it seems to affect the overall appearance of the surrounding area.
Hearing this, Simon could only refute helplessly: "It's just that we are not suitable for this style. Just like in the Power City, if you build a building in this style, wouldn't it be strange?"
Although the argument was a bit weak, everyone nodded in understanding. In terms of the general aesthetic of the public, although sometimes not online, in terms of mechanical aesthetics, the Holy Machine Church is still very good.
For example, the mechanical temple they are seeing now, although it is out of place in the overall atmosphere, but if you look at it alone, it is actually quite good.
Soon they came into sight of a large number of ships.
They were about to reach the port.
What they saw at this time was a huge arch that spanned at least one or two hundred meters.
Or it's a bit like a bridge.
Above the arch, you can see buildings and glazed tiles, as well as pavilions and towers stacked one upon the other.
But what spoiled the view was the stacked buildings, with cannon muzzles sticking out from them.
The elemental light spots surrounding the arch are obviously some kind of elemental magic array or device.
This arch is actually a defensive fortress?
The port is just behind the arch.
"Once we are here, I feel that the appearance of our Sound of Dawn will not look so eye-catching." Juanlu couldn't help but say as he looked at the ships passing by.
The most common boats here are of course some ordinary boats.
You can also see the ironclad ships of the Holy Machine Church and the magnificent gold and pure white warships of the Virgin Mary Church.
There are also green sails carried by the Seed of Life Church, which are covered with flowers and plants like plants.
In addition, you can also see all kinds of strange ships.
For example, Alka and his friends saw a giant turtle swimming by not far away, carrying a bunch of buildings.
You can see cannons on the building. Apparently this is a "ship" built on the back of a turtle.
There was also a ship of the same type, except that the turtle turned into a giant fish, similar to the ship that Alka and the others had seen when they had just entered the end of the forward channel.
"It's worthy of being a famous landmark island throughout the vast ocean." Xia Daiti couldn't help but say as he looked at the scenery along the way they came.
They hadn't even landed on the island yet, but what they saw from the periphery was shocking enough.
Alka and his crew's boat didn't attract any attention. It was just a tree on the boat, which was normal.
In this way, we sailed safely into the port, and then with the help of the guide boat, we arrived at a port where ships were stored.
After parking the boat steadily at the berth, one could feel invisible magical veins connected to the bottom of the boat, as if it was undergoing repairs and maintenance.
There was no uncomfortable feedback from the sound of dawn.
Everyone was on the deck looking towards the port.
The port's dock was bustling with people, and one could see the local defense soldiers busy shuttling among the crowd. They looked focused, and their strength was surprisingly at the third level.
This is not the World Scar. Even the soldiers in the port are at the third stage, the highest level that ordinary people can reach. This is enough to show how powerful the military force here is.
A large amount of supplies are transported to various ships through the power of treasures, various spells, and even the most common mechanical crane rails.
The entire port terminal is almost endless, and you can see that the port terminal is divided into various areas with different functions.
This should be a relatively prosperous, clean and tidy place.
"When you come to a place like this, you must take a good look around. Everyone, take a day off and we will get down to business tomorrow." Alka couldn't help but say as he looked at such a prosperous city.
However, although they were resting, they were also strolling around, replenishing some supplies on the ship, and purchasing some materials they needed.
Regardless, this day is necessary.
There will be no such store after this village. I don’t know when I will be able to go to such a prosperous signpost island again.
Hearing Alka's words, everyone smiled and nodded, and jumped down in groups of two or three.
Even the puppet girls were chattering along beside the crowd, hanging on to them, wanting to go along.
This resulted in everyone carrying several pendants on their backs.
Alka, Shadeti, and Lucilia both jumped down.
Lucilia sat on Xiadeti's shoulders.
They made their way through the crowd.
Came to the street leading to the inner city.
As soon as I came in, I saw a place similar to a conscription office, with a long queue there.
Based on the sign next to it, Alka and the others took a look.
"It turned out to be the support team for World Scar."
"Not strong enough, next one." A priest wearing the robe of the Church of Our Lady said after looking at the young man in front of him.
"I'm about to reach the third stage? I'm sure I'll be promoted along the way." The young man couldn't help but say.
Hearing this, the priest looked at him and said, "Then wait until the third stage."
"Wouldn't it be too late for the third stage? By then, I would definitely be several steps behind others in rushing to World Scar for support."
The priest waved his hand, unmoved.
The young man could only shrug helplessly and leave.
Alka even saw a light in the young man.
"It seems that the people here are very enthusiastic about supporting the world's scars." Xia Daiti couldn't help but say.
Hearing this, Alka looked around and said, “Although this place is large, you have to admit that there are three large churches stationed here.
This is a recruitment notice issued by the gods themselves, and it is extremely attractive to these believers."
And Alka also saw the sign that said "Go to support the jihad."
Such a reputation has been established.
After looking for a while, they walked towards the street entrance and could see a densely packed building complex inside.
Various convoys transporting goods and people dressed in different styles came and went.
The long streets are lined with a wide variety of shops, all of which use colorful signs that flash one by one.
It can be seen that some kind of flashing spell must have been used.
This scene showed the three people the prosperity of the island.
Among these numerous buildings, there are also temples and shrines that exude sacredness and solemnity.
Although he could feel the antiquity of these buildings, Alka should be correct. They were probably temples used to worship gods.
I could sense the aura emanating from inside, but there were no four gods.
But correspondingly, Alka did not find any overly sacred or strong aura of power in these temples.
It may be more like ancestor worship or something like that.
Judging from the architectural style, it should be a tradition that has been passed down in this place since ancient times.
Because of their similar style, these temples blend perfectly into the surrounding buildings and become part of the scenery.
It is tall and magnificent, demonstrating the cultural heritage and beliefs of this island.
Therefore, even when the Church of the Four Gods came here later, they did not demolish these temples and retained their original appearance.
Alka and his friends were wandering around the island.
The area they were visiting now should be the area governed by the Church of Our Lady, because although there were these temples, Alka saw more statues of the Virgin Mary in some shops, or a golden ear of wheat hanging on the wall.
These are essential items for daily prayers like the Virgin Mary, and almost all stores have these two items.
Needless to say, this is definitely the area governed by the Church of Our Lady. You can also see some priests dressed in the style of the Church of Our Lady walking around the streets.
"But I didn't see the Church of Our Lady. Where is it built?" Xia Daiti strolled along the way for about half a day, turning his head to observe, but he didn't see any building similar to the Church of Our Lady.
Regardless of the information they obtained or the Virgin Mary they just saw, there should be a cathedral as well.
This kind of church is usually very conspicuous and can be seen at any glance. Not to mention that for Alka and his friends, the sacred atmosphere can be easily captured.
"Are you looking for the church?" a priest in a white robe with gold edges suddenly asked as he walked by.
Alka nodded.
"The Dengshen Peak Cathedral is on the mountainside. If you want to get up there, you have to climb a long mountain road."
Hearing this, Alka thanked him immediately.
The reason why the teacher paid attention to Alka was because of the strong holy light on Alka and the same light on Xiadaiti.
If he was not mistaken, it should be a holy son and a holy daughter.
