In the tavern of the steam city.
There was a sweet and sour smell of wine in the air, and a mixture of good and bad people, including elites and poor people, mingled in it.
Someone throws money into the machinery overhead, the gears turn and wine flows from the pipes.
Someone stared at the rat scurrying across the ground and cursed.
But more people are talking loudly about the new area of expansion.
Yesterday, after various high-level discussions gathered in Arkham, they, as officials, will not only send personnel to this exploration.
At the same time, tasks will be released, allowing the mercenaries below to organize teams to explore ahead.
And these mercenaries were born because of the great destruction that was coming every year and the rapid advancement of technology.
They are without exception, unless they have their own steam engine exoskeleton device, and they still use magic as energy source.
Or he is related to the potion master and can gain inhuman powers after drinking the potion.
They will be destroyed every year, and people will be hired to protect them.
Although this kind of protection cannot deal with the real and terrifying weirdness, it can deal with the ghosts born from the emotional realm.
Still have a few moments.
However, the mortality rate in their industry has also reached 30%.
The next day, the official side dispatched a large number of city guards from different cities, plus a combination of potion masters from Dagon's secret sect to explore.
Huge mechanical drives, loaded with various magic weapons, sprayed out white mist to move them quickly.
All the mercenaries also set off with their own teams.
A huge exploration operation officially began.
A large number of people are exploring, and the feedback is very fast.
A few days later, the coordinates of each resource point and the map of their action route were drawn.
He was sent back to the city.
The boundary of the new area explored this time was also the biggest discovery this time, huge and continuous snow-capped mountains.
They had never seen such a majestic and majestic sight. Those mountains were like a border to the world.
The height of the mountains is beyond imagination, and the towering peaks reach into the sky.
But it is also the most significant discovery.
The potion masters of Dagon's secret sect can feel the different atmosphere inside, and such a majestic and huge terrain.
It’s also something they don’t have in the area they currently control.
No matter what, this mountain range must be their goal to conquer.
The ten-day exploration has come to an end for the time being.
All personnel returned and began planning to exploit the discovered resource points.
They are also preparing to continue to expand their cities and towns.
At the same time, the plan to conquer the huge mountain range is also in progress.
Because it is remote and remote, it is eternally silent, and the desolate land is only filled with ice and death.
It is simply not a place where humans can survive, but just what lies ahead is an extremely difficult task.
Steam City was the first to issue a reward, allowing those mercenaries to explore the way ahead.
Under the high bonus, a large number of mercenaries began to set off.
However, their equipment was simply not enough to withstand the harsh terrain and climate there.
Some mercenaries slept there, and more mercenaries returned without success, never daring to challenge the huge mountain range again.
Finally, based on the information provided by these mercenaries, the official made preparations for more than ten days.
A team composed of scholars who study weird things, various scientists, potion masters, and the most well-equipped task force.
Set out on the road to conquer the mountains.
After a few days, they came to the mountains.
The mountains are shining brightly under the sun.
They began to ride on specially developed magic machines and leap to the nearest mountain range.
Then use the exoskeleton to start exploring deeper.
Heavy snow covers the rugged road, and you must be careful every step you take.
As they continued to go deeper, they climbed over the two nearest peaks.
They found some corpses, the corpses of mercenaries who had previously explored here.
However, they were not frozen to death here, but corpses whose bodies had been dissected.
Everyone realized that the mountains here must be full of unknowns, and there would be something special.
However, they were well-equipped and fully prepared, so the exploration continued.
But they don't know that now is the beginning of their nightmare...
After a few snowstorms as we moved on.
Several members of the task force were missing from their ranks.
However, they still kept moving forward resolutely, after several days of trekking.
The moment they climbed over the current mountain top, they finally saw something different!
All people simultaneously let out screams from their souls.
Emotions of excitement, panic, trembling, and awe were intertwined in their minds!
Under the sky ahead, among the mountains, in this eternally dead place where no one has ever set foot.
There is actually a huge ruins embedded in the snow-capped mountains!
The ruins are composed of regular boulders, like a huge maze.
However, it seems that a devastating unknown event has occurred, some boulders have collapsed, and the place has obviously been abandoned.
But everyone was immersed in the shock brought to them by this place.
This is not a natural wonder, this is a building built by another civilization!
They couldn't imagine what kind of crazy creatures had existed here.
This place is not suitable for any living things to survive here.
With great shock, with awe, and a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.
They began to delve deeper into the ruins here.
After entering the ruins, the environment here was far more suitable than they imagined.
It is in sharp contrast to the harsh environment outside.
There are a large number of tunnels and wall sculptures in the ruins.
Although they couldn't understand what it meant, they subconsciously knew that the history of another race was recorded here.
As they explore more and more places, their curiosity about this place has not diminished at all.
Instead, it became more intense.
And through a large number of wall sculptures, they gradually began to understand what this meant.
And without even realizing it, their eyes gradually became filled with a layer of madness.
The wall carving records that the creatures that lived here before were a creature called the Ancient One, and there was also something called a Shoggoth.
They have a complete social system and are a powerful civilization.
Finally everyone arrived at the highest point, which was also the last stone room.
Here, there is a huge stone door and the last wall sculpture.
The last wall sculpture records that the civilization here once had a war with another civilization.
And that civilization seems to be the deep divers they know!
This is the building that was destroyed after the battle with the Deep Ones.
But the ancient ones and the Shoggoths who fought against the Deep Ones were not destroyed, or even defeated!
Instead, he tabooed certain things and reached peace with the deep divers.
And the ruins here are just ruins abandoned by them!
And the land they are trampling on now belongs to a powerful civilized race that can compete with the deep divers!
They thought again of the corpses they had seen a few days ago.
If they had known about it in advance, how could they have the courage and courage to dare to set foot here, even an inch of land at the foot of the outermost snow-capped mountains!
This is their abyss, a place of death that lures life, a huge mountain filled with madness!
Their minds felt dizzy, and the unknown fear penetrated deep into their spinal cords.
The madness in his eyes was even worse.
At this moment, a disturbing sound came from behind the stone door in the innermost part of the stone room!
